141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tim Tszyu - Seabastian Fundora For The WBC And WBO Super Welterweight March 30 on: March 26, 2024, 12:38:14 PM

Tim by decision though is a attractive 5.40 as per Stake. I might go with this and hope that Fundora will last the full 12 rounds.

Really? I guess I'm gonna ride with you on that one mate. Though Fundora loss via KO on his last fight, I think Tszyu is not really of a KO artist, so I believe that Fundora will try to bounce back from his previous loss and will give  Tim Tszyu a good fight. Have you also considered an upset here? I mean, Fundora has the height and the lenght, if he could use it well on his advantage, he might win via decision.

Most likely it will be the Warriors that they are going to catch up. Lots of games still and so there might be a change here. Our kababayan Jalen Green is putting monster numbers and he leads the Rockets to this recent surge.

Warriors are obviously struggling and we see the body language of Curry when they lost to the Wolves. And as we have said, and I do agree even if I love the Warriors, their dynasty is over. They might have a solid player in Kuminga to carry the torch, but not enough for this season.

With the recent performance of Jalen Green, I think he will get a max contract with the Rockets when he re-sign.

There was a report before that he will be traded with  Mikal Bridges but the Rockets say no. And it was a great decision as Jalen Green has transformed to be an all star player. His 3 point shooting is on point and his attack as well, I love the way he play now, full of confidence.

https://ftw.usatoday.com/2024/03/jalen-green-rockets-nets-trade-rumors-alperen-sengun-contract

If the Warriors will fail and the Rockets will get it to the play-in, people will see it as a big success for the Rockets and a huge failure for the Warriors.
Honestly, if the Rockets will be in the play-in and get lucky to be in the playoffs, I still would not expect a lot as I believe they'll have an early exit.
143  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: how long do we think memecoins narrative is going to last ? on: March 25, 2024, 09:46:02 PM
I know there have been a lot of discussion about memecoins during their prime. Especially when Bonk and shiba 50-100x some people's few weeks ago but then again the rise of new memecoins like OMNI which I stumbled upon, the first memecoin distributed on multiple chains with liquidity pools, and powered by the groundbreaking protocol LayerZero. It offers something truly unique in the world of memecoins.


Isn't it too late for that? I know in crypto there's nothing like been late but what I mean is. Just like we have Altseason, meme season etc.. Is true they have good community and I realised they have been listed on Bitget, Mexc etc and I also read some places that they have plans of getting listed on Binance.

Now, do you really think this memecoin will do a thing especially when I believe the meme season is over
Some of them will stay long like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu but some of them will also die. I'm not going to say they are valuable coins that people will hold, that is a big mistake but rather be wise and carefully deal with them because anytime these projects will drop after the hype. And it was a very usual thing to happen in the crypto market.

Meme coins still getting attention and many individuals are into this investment and making some money. But if you have a plan to invest now, I'd rather say NO. It was not a good time to buy meme coins instead, choose those projects that would still exist after this bullish season.
144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still truly achieve anonymous gambling in crypto? on: March 25, 2024, 11:36:28 AM

Say no to KYC in gambling means you choose to walk away from gambling, believe me, the few online casinos that are giving users privacy vibes will still be the ones to send them the ' we are sorry ' message, stating that they have to comply to some rules to keep their business in safer shape, be expecting this sooner.

This is the reality in the world we are living now. We are constant in the space and we still think that gambling anonymously can be acheive here where in fact the world is evolving and once again the government won the battle. We were too optimistic from the start that we think we can live in our world, but this "REGULATION" thing came it and it destroy the main porpuse of crypto. Now we are just an alternative currency as still under fiat.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 25, 2024, 07:08:24 AM
The Warriors? I guess I like to bet on them to make it to the playoffs, if there's an odds, I like to see. Also, I checked the championships odds in the last few days and I see the Warriors having an odds of x45, guess it's very attractive, what do you think?

Let me check the odds for yah.. Here (https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/usa/nba/nba-23-24-6490d1eb11281ad1f2fbdce3).. you can see that it's already at x46.. it has increase by 1 after that loss probably. Now is the time to bet on the Warriors if we feel confident they are gonna win the NBA Finals.

Aside from the Warriors, I also love the Maverics to win the title with x31 currently. They are just a great team now, I have nothing to say against their performance and I liked them more because they are healthy.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: March 25, 2024, 06:31:18 AM
Why not? Gambling is only for fun and not to make money. If people gamble with the money they can afford and lose, they shouldn't feel sad because they already know that's the risk of gambling.


Concluding it that way might lead to just gambling for fun and losing is normal. Personally I find it not challenging at all, I want to take a risk for higher reward, so if I gamble that means I trust my skills to generate profit for me. Gambling is for entetainment to some but what will you do if you have skills, mind you, gambling is divided into skilled based and luck based, you're talking about luck based? or just generalize gambling that it's purely based on luck?
147  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does number of traders affect volatility? on: March 24, 2024, 09:56:19 PM
it depends. if the market cap of the asset is very large, no matter how many people trade the asset, the price will be quite stable, for example like forex trading, you see how many people trade usd, but that doesn't make the usd value unstable.
USD is a stablecoin, the price is fixed no matter what happens in the market. You can't compare it with other coins like ETH, BNB, and Solana.
Quote
but if the marketcap of the asset is not so big and more people trade it, maybe the price will be very unstable, because there will probably be more people manipulating the price and making the price of the asset very unstable.
Generally, the number of traders is a huge contributing factor in regard to the volatility of the market. Whether it has a huge market cap still, we can see the impact of it. Traders prefer to use highly volatile coins because this would be a great chance to earn more rather than using low volatile projects. As the number of active traders keeps on increasing, the more we expect high volatility in the market which is actually good as it means that the crypto market is active.
148  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is It Time to Buy More BTC? on: March 22, 2024, 03:34:03 PM
...
So, even if it dips further short-term, history tells us Bitcoin tends to go up in the long run.
That is what we believe and we kept that.

Perhaps, it was proven already and the chart itself tells us that the price of Bitcoin is moving high rather than seeing it going down. Maybe buying now at this bullish season is not good timing but if we believe that a few years from now the price of Bitcoin will reach another ATH that seems not to waste the time. As long as we are certain about our investment plan, we can't decline the opportunity. If we see the price of Bitcoin is already hitting $70k, we can also think that it will be more than that price in the future. But if we are not risk-takers, I would say to just hold and wait for the new ATH.
149  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it good or bad idea saving every penny on crypto stable coins on: March 22, 2024, 02:31:47 PM
Sometimes I begin to imagine instead of transferring my money into the bank to keep for a number of days or months before usage in form of savings that nothing will add up instead it remains stagnant or the bank charges me even more. Is it not better I save them on a stable coin such as the USDT?

Please what do you think? Will I end up losing my funds one day if I do so?
To me I feel it's good way to save.

Please what's your opinion on this?
Stablecoins like USFT is not profitable, it is just like you saving in the back. Instead of doing this and since you are exposing yourself in the crypto space, why not invest in volatile yet profitable coins like ETH, BNB, and some of the top altcoins? Though it was risky but the point is that we want to grow our money and one way of doing this is to invest in projects that give us passive returns ROI. But I won't be saying to put everything you have (savings) in crypto. You can still save some in the banks and some part of it into crypto investment. We should take the necessary precautions and the safety of our funds.
150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: brazil sanctioned law that taxes online betting in the country on: March 22, 2024, 12:50:44 PM
In nutshell: bettors will have to pay 15% on the winnings received from any bets, regardless of whether the reward is small or large, and companies will have to pay 12% on revenue.


This is too complicated, gambling is not even a winnable venture and yet people are paying 15% in every winning? That's insane, this law is not for the security of people or a casino, it's mostly to discourage gamling and would kill the industry soon.

I believe the right way to tax here is that the government will tax a casino on their monthly or daily income as casino wins most of the time if not all the time, so they can really pay taxes coming from their income. What would happen if a gambler will pay taxes? This scenario will happen.

Say a gambler has $1000 total bankroll used for gambling.

Day 1 he wins $500 less 15% =$15 goes to the gov (running balance $1485)
day 2 he loss $500.. no tax of course. ( running balance  $985)....

See, you are break even and yet you already loss $15.. and that's just taxes, what if we are betting in sports here where we get 1.90 odds, more like 10% juice for the house, so if you bet $1000, you'll win $900 only ( you loss $10), and that $900 will be tax by 15%..... no, no, no... This is too much of a tax.
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Beterbiev vs. Bivol - Undisputed Light Heavyweight Championship on: March 22, 2024, 11:23:14 AM
And after almost 3 weeks, there's no movement in the odds,

Beterviev @1.86 and Bivol @1.88. At least it's good to have this kind of checkpoint before the odds and see who will be the favorite. But as we have been discussing, this is 50/50 and fight fans are still divided as to where their bets will be.

The fight is still very far, and if we are looking for more listing of the odds, we will have to wait. But in any case, we can bet this early as ML is also very attractive.  Smiley

On the moneyline, that's just likely the odds we are getting. However, I like to ask what bookie you are using because the odds seem pretty low, means they are getting big commission which was suppose to be not more than 10% on a 50/50 fight, some could even offer 1.95 for both sides but 1.90 is still reasonable.
152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Stop paying money to learn trading when you can learn it yourself on: March 21, 2024, 09:38:58 PM
Learning trading is free, that is pretty clear. Those newcomers who think that the use of copy trading, signal groups, and any groups pretending they will them and provide the necessary things to become a successful trade is impossible. Indeed, all the things we need are found available online, and many tutorials are meant easy for us to acquire knowledge. That is why the services I've mentioned above are nothing, we can do it alone. However, learning couldn't be instant but it takes several months to finally get how this works. Learning is not easy and no shortcuts which is why we stop believing people saying, we can make you rich in just a few days by having them as it was a big lie.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: March 21, 2024, 03:06:30 PM
At this point, it's easier to just select a high spreads like -10 and up as most of the time they'll cover the spread. Typical bettors would probably choose the underdog with a high handicap without realizing that bookies cannot be outsmarted, they set this line like a trap, so either we ride with them or just follow the public perception. I'll choose the big favorites tomorrow with a high spread.

Pacers -9.5 -
Boston -10.5
Kings -11
OKC -15
Warriors -11
Clippers -12
Suns -9.

let's see how many will will win...

I thought I always had it perfect since these favorites really have a good start (except for the OKC), but ending with 5 out of 7 is not bad at all. As I mentioned yesterday, I'm more into favorites as the playoffs is approaching, so I'm still following my strategy with my current picks.

Kings -11
Bucks -10
Dallas -14
Denver -9.5
Suns -9.5
154  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: March 20, 2024, 09:37:44 PM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
Well, I would say that investing is not just all about buying and selling, sometimes we need to hold as well. Planning is vital in investing and we need to analyze the market movement. A good investment strategy makes us succeed which I see that most of us don't have which is why many people suffer the consequences of losing their money and the collapse of their investment goal.
Buy low and Sell high should be in our mind and avoid getting caught in FOMO and panic selling because this will ruin our plan and can bring us a disastrous end.
155  Other / Archival / Re: Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ? on: March 20, 2024, 09:08:19 PM
Well, most of us had consider buying Bitcoin at a cheaper price as a good time but it doesn't mean that buying at the current price is a foolish decision unless we are buying shitcoins. If we plan to hold them for many years and prepare for the next bull season, that is still okay. Bitcoin has been believed to grow every bull season and reach new ATH, in fact, we're not yet at its peak so we could say it is a dying decision but rather think for a profitable decision.
Of course, it was the best time to accumulate Bitcoin during the bear season but if you really have the trust, it was not a wrong move to do it in the current situation.
156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: March 20, 2024, 02:11:57 PM
It's hard to pick. The upper ranks are battling the underdogs. Most lines are -10 upward.
Anyway, good luck to everyone, I might just try during live games for the remaining ones.

At this point, it's easier to just select a high spreads like -10 and up as most of the time they'll cover the spread. Typical bettors would probably choose the underdog with a high handicap without realizing that bookies cannot be outsmarted, they set this line like a trap, so either we ride with them or just follow the public perception.

157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 20, 2024, 01:21:36 PM

So in my opinion it is not that important to bet when you are emotionally affected because we will experience a lot of losses and far from making a profit, it is better to bet when you are in a stable and fine condition because it is safer. for us.

When you are emotional, your mind will be confused and you will not be able to think clearly. That's why when you're emotional you can make unreasonable bets. I once experienced a situation where I won a big prize but I only used a small bet. I was so emotional that I used all my winnings to bet on bigger bets. And the result is as you guessed, I really lost my money. I should be able to make a little money from small bets. But emotions cost me money and also the prize.

Emotional approach does not help at all, even if you win big time today and go home with a decent profit, i'm sure you'll still come back next time and you will not be lucky anymore. There was a saying I read that goes, "losing is certain, but winning is not"... That only means we or most of us are really lossing money in gambing, now with lack of control or what we called unable to control our emotion, we will be close to losing sooner which hopefully we will not make a bad decision that might be desperate and borrow money to try to win back what we losses.
158  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a quick rich and get poorer investment. on: March 19, 2024, 09:45:47 PM
Is an opportunity for those who have not yet begun investing in bitcoin; since the price has dropped to $63k, they can invest heavily in order to reap greater profits when the price rises. Some people are telling them to invest in bitcoin, but they will continue to look for people who are profiting because they are afraid of losing money, and without taking risks, you will never benefit from the bitcoin journey. I used to tell some of my friends who are interested in investing that even if they invest a tiny amount of money in bitcoin, they will still profit when the market is going well. I told them that even if they are investing $10 every week they will still profitable, the money will be increasing and probably you can get your capital and profit in it. is just to be patient and trust your mind and be strong to take risk, if you have the opportunity to do and get profit.

The problem for beginners in investing in Bitcoin is patience and price fluctuations. without prior understanding, they tend to panic more quickly when they see an unstable market situation.
and more beginners are impatient with the results. What you think about is how to look at the history of Bitcoin price growth. they want to invest with quick profits. That's clearly wrong, but we often encounter perceptions like that.
Social media and these self-proclaimed experts have a huge influence on the mindset of their followers/listeners. That is why newcomers usually think that investing in Bitcoin is a quick rich investment. Unfortunately, it is different from what really happened and mostly is in FOMO when price corrections happen and sell their coins at loss. And this definitely will happen to a person who is investing blindly and has no idea of what they are doing. Being a no-how person will certainly end to nothing but losses which is very common in the market today due to aggressive investing even without proper knowledge.   
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 0x.bet Online casino on: March 19, 2024, 12:53:48 PM
Hello,

I just wanted to leave a review for 0x.bet casino

its a new casino that is honestly all you could hope for

ive only been a member for 2 weeks but its already my favourite casino

I encourage everyone to use 0x.bet as you dont need KYC using crypto and its an all round great casino with excellect customer support too!



Make the review more detailed, you can put a link of its URL here to check the exact casino. You know, there are a lot of casinos in the space and some have a similar name, or some just trying to copy the name of a casino to scam people.

This NO KYC promise somewhat would interest some people, but I don't know how reputable a casino is that promotes no KYC since we can assume that they don't have a license to operate from a legitimate license provider.

I don't understand why you guys don't noticed that this is just a shilling post.

Give them a benefit of the doubt my friend, maybe they just don't know how to properly promote their casino in the forum.  Grin
160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling between the past and nowadays on: March 19, 2024, 12:13:59 PM
In your opinion, what are the factors that brought  change in the field of gambling? What is your outlook on it in the future?

Not only gambling but all other sectors are also improving and everyone is trying or even looking for ways to attract more customers they will bring up things that will bring people to their platforms and that is how businessmen, as the world is transforming so its everything is moving along with, and the transformation in gambling will continue and the idea is already there that people can not stop gambling so they need to create ways to keep their self in business.


One of the best way to become known aside from being a reliable casino is how you promote it and one of the factor is the social media marketing strategy of the casino if you are a casino which is active into different platforms to promote your casino for sure you can get a new number of players because we know how people now actively using their device to check the trend, and now recently people adopted the use of the crypto and one of the other form to use this is to enjoy with the use of gambling. If you don't do this you will not increase your players and they won't know that you exist.

Of course, social media brings the biggest exposure but gamblers sometimes would like to verify if what was promoted is legit. So the platform like forums, specially bitcointalk is very important on this process since someone who wants to verify could certainly find some feedback here, either in the scam accusation or the ANN thread of a casino.  When we say "crypto", bitcointalk is the leader of all forum, so it should be the place to check upon if we want to know the reputation of a certain casino.
