In conclusion, if you are already having a rough time on playing same game over and over despite you have a good experience on it before. Trying new games to you and taking break will help you to snap out of your losing streak because chasing losses usually make us trap on our losses.

This is right because there is a chance of winning when all our bets despite many years of gambling experience if this game don't give us favor and luck.
Yes, it might be found in the game and we need to try and search for it. If we are not good at card games, we might be good at sports betting. If not always, sometimes we consider also the game we are a fan of - like if we love sports, then I think this suits us.
As a gambler, we also consider that not all games are meant for us. We also think about the factors of how we end up losing like we are cursed with. We must choose a game where we think we are good and knowledgeable.
142  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does number of traders affect volatility? on: April 13, 2024, 02:03:43 PM
I'd see the key role of these traders, they are helping the market become more volatile than the usual trend we experience. More traders, more market movements. So I expect that the market become more volatile in the future than today due to the growing number of active traders. And that is also the time we need to be more careful and analyze the market situation as well. And the riskier it looks like. But the good about this situation especially when using an exchange that has a huge trade volume is that it is easier it fill our order.

If I am going to ask, I prefer to have a high-volatile market than a low-volatile for this will matter a lot in trading.

DYIP trying to bounce back from their loss to SMB but it seems like Rain or Shine has been dominating the game. It's less than 2 minutes in the 3rd now and Rain or shine is having a good lead. Of course there's still plenty of time but i haven't seen DYIP trailing this much and still winning the game, they usually are the ones controlling the game, so I guess this will be another loss from DYIP and it will be their 2 straight losses.
Indeed, it was a win by the ROS and they have dominated the DYIP in this game. I think in the middle of the conference we will see the true color of the teams that are rumored as "farm team" because they start losing now.

Anyway, I think we should move on to the next game as this will be a more interesting one, it's TNT vs the red hot NLEX.  Right now, I'm gonna be riding with the success of the NLEX as they are currently on a winning streak, and based on the current line, they are +3.5, and is 2.14 on moneyline, I'm gonna take both. I'm also expecting it will be a 3 point shoot out, so another bet on over 194.5.

This looks so over now, and once again NLEX is dominating the game leading by 10 points now. I think their dominance will continue and TNT might loss again just like what they experience against Northport. As of now, Bollick only has 5 points but Miranda had 12 points which we don't see most of the time, so this is a good news for the NLEX as everyone is getting involve already.

First quarter belonged to the TNT, but the 2nd quarter is highly dominated by NLEX, so far.

Some of the altcoins moved quite high in prices in this current bull run. But meme coins had been disappointing for long time. Even influencers do not promote meme coins at all.
Are the good days for meme coins gone forever ?
I don't know where you got that information because, since last year, meme coins have been very popular, and social media influencers are promoting them. I think you missed updating yourself OP and I guess you need to open your social media account and see what happens now.

Despite the great achievement of meme coins nowadays still, I'm not going to say this is a good investment. For risk-takers, it is your choice but for others, must have to think about it over and over again. We may see meme coins are in the surge today but never think this will happen forever.
well, people always advise not to invest in meme coins because of the big risks, and not having a clear goal. So, it's very natural for that to happen. However, why people are still using meme coins today is because the increase can occur very high in a short time. People take advantage of this moment, and usually they use money that they are really willing to lose.
That's right, it was profitable this time but know in the future or a sudden dips after bull season. If we have the chance to sell them now, then must do it as we can ensure the popularity of these projects remains even next year.
145  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe is saving screenshots of useful information and BTC transactions? on: April 13, 2024, 05:55:11 AM
I honestly do this often and I do not think this will harm me or it will lead to regrets. Indeed, it was just screenshots of BTC transactions and for me, it was not concerning a lot unless it was a screenshot of our keys/passwords. Whether doing this is a wrong thing or not, the most important is we are aware of what we did and have been concerned about the safety of our wallets.

Proper education is indeed a very important thing here in the crypto space. Keeping ourselves private seems to be a helping way to keep our funds intact and avoid hacking. So if we think doing this could create risks, then must stop it.
146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: April 13, 2024, 04:19:06 AM
Sometimes gambling can be very exciting especially when you have warm multiple times, despite your losses it is also exciting because whenever you remember your winning, you also feel better One of the most interesting part of it is the prediction when you are setting up your bed, you are always calm even when you are done setting up your bets you feel like OK you have done well, that’s a good news. We actually come out some people play more than the Bet at the same time expecting to win at least one or two or to cover up the order losses gambling can be really exciting sometimes and also  make you sad.
Your minds manipulate you and make you so excited despite losses. And this is only it means something that gambling is really in your heart. But if you are gambling like you are chasing losses rather than entertaining yourself, it is not gambling anymore but totally a dumb decision.
Gambling responsibly is not a difficult thing to do if we consider gambling to be for our pastime but if we think this would help us improve our living and seeking for quick rich scheme, there is no excitement anymore. And we can never feel happiness even we win because we are aiming more.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 12, 2024, 09:36:20 PM
 - they don't like people to notice that he/she is gambling.

it happens usually in some couples where a husband/wife keeps it secret because their partners don't support it. But this action and gambling decision will only lead to misunderstanding and a common issue of separation. If we are a responsible person and a family man, we should never hide any from our partners. Even in the family, despite the criticism that they will throw at us for being a gambler, we should still tell them. We may not see it helps us now but possibly in the future.

If we keep hiding our gambling habits, the more possibility it will cause problems in the coming days.
148  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to handle emotions when you lose during trading. on: April 12, 2024, 03:43:36 PM
Everything you say here is correct, and the number 4 is the best thing that all the traders in this field of crypto trading can do, in fact, so that we can do the trading activity we are
doing in the field correctly. This is actually true. And it's good to make it a habit too.

Because if we can't manage trading correctly, our emotions will swallow us up and put us in a state of lack of control over ourselves, which can lead to bad results in the end.
Besides, it is hard to be good when you are already stressed about thinking about your losses. It was hard to accept defeat when we already assumed that we gonna earn some profit. And much more difficult to control our emotions when we don't calm ourselves. Indeed, controlling our emotions is very important in trading as this will trigger the worst-case scenario. Losing control of our emotions has no good results but instead, this could be the reason for more losses and failures. So instead of chasing our losses, I think taking time to pause and relax will help to calm our minds.  And find out what wrong we've been doing and find solutions to it.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: April 12, 2024, 02:12:15 PM
2 games will be happening today.
Converge vs Phoenix and Ginebra vs Bossing

The first game look so easy that we can make easy money here. Converge is now domoralize, they are not winning game so it will continue.

As per the bookie market, Phoenix is only -6.5 which should be a steal since Converge have lost double digits againts strong team like ROS and Magnolia. Also, I'm betting on the TT with under 94.5 for Converge.

With a demoralize squad I also think that those who take this handicap for Phoenix will have a good edge winning their pick, though we really can't tell if how they will take the win, but from those current outcomes against stronger teams Converge is not playing with a competitive stats, they are just playing for the said schedule but winning mentalities is no longer present as they don't have any chance to move forward for the next round.

It's just how Phoenix will win this game hopefully they will secure it with a double digit lead for the sake of those who bet for them, though it's PBA and gambling is always have a big factors on how it's going to end, just saying!

Not the way I expected, Phoenix able to have a good lead but in the end, they only won by 6 points, I still loss my bet. On the TT, it was a clear over for converge as they scored a total of 107 points, way too much on the line offered by our sportsbook. It's really unpredictable, when a team that we choose win the game but there's a spread that didn't cover.

On the 2nd game, I was also able  to put a bet but on the bigger odds like x4 predicting Ginebra to win by 1-5 points, but looking at the score now, that seemed not happening anymore as Ginebra is already having a very comfortable lead.

The 2nd game was easy to predict as Ginebra came from a loss so it's expected that they will bounce back. And like what we had witness, it was a vry dominant win by Ginebra with a 19 point victory.

C. Stand with 33 points, that's an MVP number. So last time against the DYIP, I don't know what came into their mind that they didn't let him play in the 4th quarter when they are down. Hmmmm... I can see some rigged on that game, and they don't want to repeat the same mistake again, it will be too obvious.
150  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling or selling? on: April 11, 2024, 09:39:23 PM
Greetings,everyone
At this point in time,i was wondering about the opinions of dear forum users
There is a long period of time when the bitcoin price is at a rather high level,compared to the price a year ago
Some users have sold all their bitcoins as soon as the price became higher than the price at which they bought them
The sell because they are probably contented with the profit generated from their investment. I did this in the past years but yes, I was also in regret after seeing the price surging high after selling. But if we are satisfied enough of what we get, that is okay because the most important is that we earn some, not we lose.

Quote
But i'm interested in the actions of those who bought their bitcoins more than 2-3 years ago and sold them now or are still hodling them
How did you find the strength and patience to resist this temptation?
Please answer people who hodl not $1-2k,but at least from $20k
After all,the fear of loss from investing $1k is much easier to bear than from investing $20k
For me this is the best indicator of inner strength and patience,because the greater the amount of investment,the greater the scale of his personality

P.S i've personally hedl bitcoins for a few years and it's well over $2k

-Regards
Then encourage yourselves to be strong and focus on your target price. You can avoid temptation in selling if you are certain about your plan.
Never always check the price so it won't affect your mindset. Losing is not possible if we just hold and sell at a higher price than the buying price. Manage your emotions and be mindful in your decision-making.

If more people realise that decentralized systems isn't like a banking or centralized system were you can go and report a transaction and they seize the persons money or track the person( although its possible if they are not smart enough) then you would be more careful when doing deals here.

Absolutely. Bitcoin transaction cannot be undone. I would like to draw attention to the virus that has caused a lot of losses recently. It infects you computer and does nothing except it waits until you make a transaction and it changes the address you just copied to another one. Please, guys, double check what you are pasting.
Hackers are now using sophisticated ways to steal money for users than fall to their trap. Decentralized way of transaction is quite good but it also has it own disadvantage just like many people keeps complaining about KYC on a Centralized platforms. If this kind of attack happens on a Centralized platforms, the matter can be handled any the address can be flagged by the AML bot which is going to be tag and if the fund eventually enters any exchange, the fund would be held by the team for further investigation. All we have to be doing is to make sure that we are at alert taking decisions that would prevent us from losing our funds.
Perhaps, they are smart but we can just be innocent on how to protect ourselves from them. If we just keep in mind that there is no easy money in here as this is the usual tactic they offer, we never fall into their tricks. Unfortunately, most of us have changed when it comes to money and easily forget those scam stories shared until we get scammed and realize it. Most of us don't do further research about the project but instead, invest instantly because of the of high ROI promises. Yes, if we blame these scammers, we also blame ourselves for being too greedy as we fail to know their real scam intention.

Fresh update !

PBA: Magnolia gets Jerrick Balanza in trade with Converge as Hotshots make playoff push

Quote
Magnolia improved its guard rotation for the remainder of the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup with the arrival of Jerrick Balanza from Converge.

Converge's Jerrick Balanza will now don Magnolia’s colors as the team looks for a big boost after a rocky start to the PBA Season 48 Philippine Cup.

The FiberXers shipped Balanza to the franchise in a move that was announced by the league on Thursday, April 11.

Converge, which has yet to come up with a win in six games, will receive the Hotshots' second round pick in next season’s draft.

Good trade since Converge is already done, they are still winless but Magnolia have some struggle so adding another big man in the name of  Jerrick Balanza will probably help on their size. Though not so tall but he could use his size to score inside. Honestly, I'm not so familiar with him since his team are not popular but I'm sure he'll improve with Magnolia.

If we compare this to the NBA, converge is like a team that are trying to rebuild, so they are trading their players to get the top picks, a rookie pick. I think converge will need more season to improve this team, but as long as they can't afford to sign a all star caliber player, they'll remain at the bottom, This team was only good because it was the Alaska line up that was acquired, but eventually they slowly gave up their starters and this is the result of the decision, it's a bad decision after all.

Magnolia on the other hand seemed to have struggled in the past few games although they won their last game, but probably there's still some missing factor that they need to fill, hopefully  Jerrick Balanza will be the answer.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: April 11, 2024, 05:47:20 AM
If we all are able to control our greed, it is not impossible but unfortunately, what really happens the most is that when they win at their first bet, they even want more and double their next bets without thinking if that bet will lose and that will be their last bet in the day.
If we all have that kind of mindset, I am certain that nobody went home with an empty wallet but sadly, it never happens in real life.
Urging ourselves to become a responsible gambler is definitely a good idea. We know that luck never comes all the time which is why if it comes, we never think it stay long and forever as it will be over in a short period of time.
154  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: This bitcoin bull market isn't over yet ! on: April 10, 2024, 09:52:16 PM
We keep seeing the current trend until next year, that is what I thought and we can just say it was over when the entire market went red again. But now, we just enjoy the greenish season of the market and take this chance to earn more profit.

As the halving event comes too close, the more we think of a huge pump in Bitcoin price. On any of these days, we can possibly see the price of Bitcoin will reach $80k (or even more). Halving has a huge influence on the mindset of the people and this encourages us to buy more and hold rather than thinking about selling earlier before ATH.

Lakers vs Warriors, which team will be eliminated first?

Both teams performed about the same during the regular season, and it's not so clear at this moment which of these two teams will be eliminated first. In addition, there are still 2-3 games left until the end of the regular season. So there's a small chance that the Lakers and Warriors might not face each other in the play-in tournament.

That's possible as the Warriors have 3 remaining games, their ranking will go up, so they might be placed at the top 8 which means they won't be playing in a do or die game anymore. I'm sure they will do that as I think they could win the next 3 games.

Warriors next 3 games are

Trailblazers - road game
Jazz and pelicans, both home games.

Sure thing they can win all them, the toughest opponent on the list is only the Pelicans, but since the Warriors are at home, they have the advantage over that team. Jazz and TrailBlzers, this team are in a losing streak and probably have pulled out their star players already, so it should be easy for them. I guess the Warriors are just making sure now that they'll be in the top 7, so if they would succeed, they just need to play one game and maybe will face the Denver or Minnesota. It doesn't matter to them, I think the Warriors still have a chance beating those two teams but it would be better if they'll face the Wolves first.

I agree, the two teams which are the TrailBlazers and and the Jazz are on a long losing streak 2 and 13 respectively. Warriors has been defeating strong teams on this run so there's no way they will loss to these bottom teams.  For the Pelicans, they will also play harder as they are already at the top 6 again so they don't want to go down and be in the play-in.

Well, learning how to trade is not quite expensive nor do we need to spend a lot of money since we can learn it online. Indeed, it is right but the point here is that if there is another way to learn it by paying a reputable person who can guide us until we gain enough knowledge and skills, that is still a good idea as long as we can afford to pay them. It was not a problem whether we had to spend some money on this because the most important is that we get what we want to happen or reach our main goal at the end of the session.

Honestly, not all the things we found on the internet or YT are good enough. As for me, it would still be better if someone would accompany me personally rather than just relying on videos and theories.
158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: April 09, 2024, 01:44:12 PM
So NBA will be coming back tomorrow.

Any early picks here?

We got plenty of games tomorrow but we don't bet all of them, right?

I'm betting on the Celtics vs Bucks as it seemed like Bucks are losing on purpose, maybe putting a bet like to win more than 26 points as this could be a blowout if the starters will play.

Another bet is on the Miami Heat, they need another win to have a chance to be at the number 6.
That's -3.5 vs the Hawks.
Been waiting for this Denver match and they should be going against the Utah Jazz from what I remember somebody posting on this thread, they had lost their last game. So this might be a good pick to put with the Boston game against the faltering Bucks.
Think I'll be staying away from the Hawks game since there was some thing with Trae Young's finger on the sports ticker last night so he could be a scratch tonight.
Utah hasn't won a game in the last 12 games, they should continue losing specially against the defending champion. About the Hawks, there was a report that Trae Young is cleared for practice but it was not confirm if he'll return vs the Heat. I guess it's not neccessary anyway as they'll still fall at 9 or 10 which means they'll have to play a do or die game, so better not risk Trae and just make him fully healthy in the play-in.
159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Investing in casinos: Still a thing? on: April 09, 2024, 12:44:11 PM
I've been wanting to increase the number of my long-term crypto investments for a while now and I've already got like a good amount of BTC that I can comfortably invest without pulling out and I've checked Bitvest just out of curiosity and I've seen that you can invest in their website, I think I've seen it with Bustabit and Bustadice too back then, are they still doing that or is there like a lot of new casinos that are offering this kind of thing, I can't recall how it works when you invest in them so I'm going to ask (although I feel like stupid forgetting how it works), how does it work? And are there any other trusted casinos that are offering this investment? Is it a bad investment?

If you want to store your BTC on deposit and earn interest from it, you don't necessarily have to do it in a casino. Many exchanges offer a higher interest rate on Bitcoin deposits. I think you should consider depositing on an exchange. Exchanges like Binance, HTX, and OKX offer interest on deposit. If their APY is higher than in the casino, I believe it would be much more profitable for you to deposit on the exchange.

That's quite safer, however, investing in a casino offers bigger interest that depositing your bitcoins and let it earn interest. The same scenario when you are putting your money in the bank, the interest is very low, but if you gain a certain percertage on your investment in a casino, your investment will gain profit on a daily basis as long as the casino is profitable, it's like a compounding interest that you'll gaining.

So let's use Binance as an example, the APR is 4.5%, would it satisfy you? personally I would not even be satisfied on that percentage on a monthly basis because my capital is not big enough.

https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/849843

There's quiet huge risk for this especially we don't know how we can see them reputable especially for binance since recently they face a lot of issue due to some restrictions happened to them on some parts of the world and we might got an issue if our country will next to ban binance. So If I am the investor I will just let my bitcoins left stored on my wallet rather than putting it on exchange or casino since from there I can assure the safety than trying to risk on those platforms.

We all know that they are reputable but since I believe on not your keys not your coin so I guess letting our balance stake on other platform is risky action to do since we don't know how long we can't experience an issue with them since for sure there are chance that FTX schemes might happen again and to bad for us if our funds is there and same like situation will occur. To assure safety much better to leave our balance beyond our control and never gamble on an option thag give us low return but risk is so high.

There's always a risk and that's the risk you are referring. That's why it's very important to manage the risk because anytime we can lose our money. Holding our asset in our wallet where we are the only one have access to it may safe but there's still a risk as there's no assurance that bitcoin will rise although people say that 99% it will grow in the future, we still have to consider the risk factor.
