1401  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 mistakes every crypto trader should avoid on: March 06, 2020, 10:43:01 AM
Always avoid overtrading

This is something that I didn't had control on. When I started trading, I used to keep on checking the prices to see if I had made any profits. Whenever the price used to go low I would panic and start selling which eventually resulted in loss in most of my trades. This is why I left trading.
Absolutely vital to hold yourself in bearish market and making sure you don't get over excited and over-trade during the bullish market. I have had the same problem when I was new because I was a BTC price trader initially and I used to get so excited that I would buy more and more bitcoins during a bullish run and then obviously at some point the bullish market will stop and I would panic and sell the coins.

This also had to do with faith because when I was new to the bitcoins world I never knew if bitcoins would be 0 tomorrow morning and hence when it started to fall down I was so worried that oh no the time has arrived. Now, with time I have realized that bearish rounds will come and bitcoins is never going to be zero ever.
1402  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Which is Best Trading or Freelancing? on: March 06, 2020, 10:01:20 AM
I feel like trading must be started once you have build good enough capital because if you prematurely start trading then you will loose the small capital you have. There are times in trading when you will have to hold coins for even 1 month and you must have enough solidity to do so without stressing too much.

So, my suggestion would be build a bankroll by doing freelancing tasks and once you have build a big enough capital through freelancing you can always start trading but I would suggest always start slow and small even when you start trading because trading is such a thing that you won't realize where your money is gone in a matter of few trades. I have done trading for quote sometime and believe me I am giving advice from my experiences and you will relate to me once you are into trading for sometime.

There's only one word for a 9-leg win like this.... WOW 😲
Let's hear it for this sports fan 👏🏼


Honestly once again it is a 9 legged win and kudos to whoever managed it and of course any bet that is such high amount combined would be awesome but considering you are a whole sportsbook and there must be thousands of slips on the website every single day, it would be weird if none of them actually won. This dude literally played on 4 games that were under 1.20!! odds which is basically as guaranteed as it gets and total of 6 games under 1.36 as well!

So, as you can see there was really one big risky game with 2.85 odds which is really hard to get but all of the other bets were basically sure fire things. Still it is 23 odds combined and kudos to him for achieving but as a sportsbook you guys have to get used to being a place where thousands play and eventually some do win of course.
1404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Age restriction in gambling on: March 06, 2020, 04:28:01 AM
It's so funny! Cheesy someone can play gambling starting from the age of 5. It is better to give no restriction than to give "5 years" restriction in casino platform. Does a 5 year old child have the ability to understand good or bad!
The age restriction limits show to me how greedy the casinos are and allowing a 5 year old kid to gamble is like considering him mature enough to know what is good and what is bad for them which I am sure is not true. I really hope there is a international restriction that should set standards for every casino.

Kids especially those who are young enough and incapable of making their own decision still needs further guidance and gambling is not a thing for them.
I agree that it would be a negative impact overall while they will learn the importance of money but at the same time there will be no fun in their life because they won't be able to able sports and other activities once they are into gambling.

I didn't quite get the 7-1 100% return thingy. Now imagine I played 7 games and I have won all 6 of them, would it be like I won the 6 legged one and didn't played the 7th at all? If that is the case that is amazing for people who will play 6 legged parlays anyway because 7th one would be basically free to play even if you are wrong, it even enhances the chances because if you play 6 legged one and lose just one you would be 5/6 and still lose (well get 75%) but if you play one more you would basically get all of it back anyway.

This is really an awesome promotion if it is like I imagine it is. I will go out and try one right now, there isn't much to bet that I want to bet but this can't go for free and I can't just miss it, I really want to give it a try for sure.
1406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Leave gambling, if it destroys you. on: March 05, 2020, 05:27:06 PM
I had a different situation.  I loved going to a nightclub.  There are a lot of girls in the night club, and that's great!
I was laughing while I was reading your situation and would love to be in your place Grin. Indeed it is great and gambling has always been related to glamour and girls.

But on the second floor of the club there was a casino ... At the entrance to the club, when I bought the entrance ticket, I received free chips in the casino.  And then I won at the casino!  And I forgot about the girls and started playing all the time.  I stopped dating girls.  I had money.  I often won at the casino.  But I had no more sex.  That was bad.
So how did it end actually is what I was curious about, I mean do you still go there and win money? If not did you try to put your own money lately to gamble? I mean if you only won for once or twice then you must be still going to the club because you would have more money than before and I believe these free chips must be first time only or they offer such chips on every time you visit?
1407  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can save some people's lives :-> on: March 05, 2020, 04:44:26 PM
True meehn, cryptocurrency can go a long way to help but I don’t think that’s still possible now for China because a lot of people in are making use of WeChat Pay and other platforms that are very popular there.

It will be difficult for Bitcoin to replace those payment methods because they are already very popular there. And moreover they are offering the same services that Bitcoin will offer, except in terms of fees, Bitcoin might possibly be better in terms fees and have a lower fees compared to those other platforms or maybe not. But in my country it’s not like that, there are lots of platforms are way more cheap than Bitcoin when it comes transactions fees.
1408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin halving make cryptocurrencies reach all time high again? on: March 05, 2020, 02:18:03 PM
Possibly it can make the price to increase and reach a new high. There are lots of speculations on the internet about an increase that would be coming after the Halving.

This might be true because if you watch how the price has been moving, it has been quite bullish and tends to be making moves upwards, I hope it keeps moving that way till it reaches a high price. And sometimes these kinds of situation can create a FOMO and when people starts rushing in and buying bitcoin it will cause a huge pump on the price. If you check the last time Bitcoin reached an all time high price you will notice it didn’t waste time on top before it started going down immediately.
1409  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What happens when everybody buys the bottom ??? on: March 05, 2020, 12:24:32 PM
buying at the bottom is one way to get big profits when prices rise later. but it also depends on the liquidity of the token because that will be the main factor as the trading volume increases and the price can also go up. some success, but some failed because they did not get a good trading volume and eventually just died.
Big profits by buying at bottom? Don't you think why that coin was set to hit the bottom? I mean to say there will be no real potential coins will be hitting the bottom but only the manipulated coins are doing like that. If you are able to spot those manipulated coins then you can buy them at bottom so that you can make big profits when it will be bumped by the same group of people.

If those group of people will be moving to some other coin, then you will be trapped with the big losses. This is the reason all the coins which are all hitting bottom, might not be the right coins to invest with.
Only lower volume coins can be manipulated by such group of people so I personally always avoid such coins having lower volume. I am not much aware about the coin mentioned by OP but making some basic research about it seems it had no much volume and also the coin was at the bottom because it had a depicting demand which derived the price to the bottom. You should always avoid investing in such coins.

Finding a bottom of higher volume known coins would make you earn huge profits but you should know which coins to invest and also you have to acquire skills to identify the bottom. It is not that easy to spot the bottom always.
1410  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Asking Investment advice? on: March 05, 2020, 10:31:51 AM
There are a lot of newbies asking about Investment advice but it is good to see a newbie giving investment advice to others. You have almost included some of the important points which might make it possible for you to start your investment into new projects but this would not literate the newbies and they would continue making mistakes by investing into wrong project with more than 50% of their capital. Greed is a major cause here.

Some of the shit projects show heavy returns which usually attracts a number if newbies to the platform and they blindly invest into such projects with maximum amount they can only to have major profits in the future but end up crying in loss. You should mention about "greed" in OP as it might help a lot of people understand what is actually needed to start the investment.
1411  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: My top 7 exchanges for trading on: March 05, 2020, 09:57:26 AM
They are of huge numbers and all of them are promising. One thing that you should have to do (and I usually did this often times) is to find exchanges among the list that only ask for small fees either withdrawal or deposit. This could save you a lot. Of course, we have to consider also a certain exchange that will offer higher bids.

Then, it is better to try them all and for us to know which one will give a better way of trading. Popularity really matters but also we have to consider its market volume cause that would make it easier to do buying and selling.
We should never just choose a exchange only because it has comparatively lower withdrawal and deposit fees. There are a lot of exchanges which might charge minimum for withdrawal but yet these kinds of exchanges might not have huge traffic which would lead for a smaller volume.

Traders might hardly make any withdrawals and it would also be within long time intervals so we might not need to worry about the withdrawal fees as long as we are not transacting with smaller amounts. Mostly, the fees are considerably same for some top exchanges and the exchanges listed by OP in his article might have minute difference in their transaction fees.
1412  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Copy trade - New trend of cryptocurrency exchanges? on: March 05, 2020, 08:09:09 AM
I have not heard about the platforms you mentioned for copy trading but I have used eToro in the past to perform some copy trading. I really think that this is a most useful function for newbies who do not have any knowledge about trading but yet want to invest some of their capital into trading.

Copy trading actually minimizes the risk associated with trading as we only perform trades which are been researched by the trader we are copying. Also while copy trading, you should check the portfolio of the trader you are copying and also the ROI which is been displayed on some platforms. We have the freedom to choose a trader to start copying accordingly by paying some smaller amount of fees.
1413  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Random coin picks experiment on: March 05, 2020, 07:34:32 AM
Be careful with your strategy, you seem to be treating trading like you are gambling, betting on low odds with high return.
I know it happened in the past during the bull run where even shit coins pump, but there is no guarantee it will repeat, so better be ready with the result.

Besides, that's how it is here in crypto, big risk = big reward, so good luck.
In the past markets there were not these immense coins dominating the markets. There were few selected coins which were sure to experience a pump in those bull runs but in the current market situations, we can see a number of coins have the potential to experience huge pump in the coming bull runs but most of them might even fail and might run in the opposite direction which is somehow similar to gambling.

We would never be assured fixed profits in terms of trading with cryptocurrencies and hence each and every one of us should use advanced strategies if ever we perform any such experiment to invest in some random coins.
1414  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading vs. Investing. on: March 05, 2020, 03:11:34 AM
Your subject might get a bit tricky for a lot of users here. Trading and Investing might be compared but we should never forget that they both are different entities. Trading has major risk of losing what we have but investing might minimize the risk of losing our coins as mostly long term investing would probably give you profits 90% times.

The most important factor here would be your experience. If you have good knowledge than you can trade with cryptos and make higher yield in smaller time intervals but if you lack in experience than I would personally prefer you to invest into some top coins and wait for them to reach the peak so that you can exit the markets.
1415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's really good have you received from the results of the gambling bounty on: March 04, 2020, 03:43:20 PM
I dont really understand about what your are talking bounty gambling? Is this signature campaigns from gambling sites that pays bitcoin? Yes you are right most of the hunters today are joining this campaigns as a replacement from altcoin bounties because of not good enough income, some bounty also are running I also experienced some bounty that still not paying until now like swace terrible campaigns.   
Not really fulfilling but its a good opportunity to earn even in a small amount its better to earn small than nothing compared to bounty from altcoins you have to wait 5 months and still nothing.
I got small amount but I think its good enough to help my needs. Also for me bounty is the first step to earn especially to those just starting in a gambling, participate in bounty give you opportunity to get earn even in a small amount but still its beeter than nothing. For me joining a bounty is not risk to do because all you need here is your time to promote and advertise their campaign, but before participate you must know it very well.
You have bumped a 3 months old thread and the thread itself was not too good because there is no way someone can live of bounties from gambling casinos and I don't know if any casino offer such bounties either. Most of the casinos offer vip levels and to get those levels you have to wager a lot and there is some potential loss in the process.

Anyways please try to read the last posts on the thread and reply because this is just too old a topic.
1416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reputation at stake will you stop gambling on: March 04, 2020, 08:54:59 AM
It is obvious that they have faith in you that is why they decided to put you up into a candidate for councilor.
I wonder the same because if someone has elected you for a task or role than they must have faith in your capabilities and you should not worry about being a gambler or drug addict. Yes when you are performing such task you should avoid talks about gambling but if somehow they discuss you about and you respect yourself as a gambler then you should explain them easily without an issue.

I wouldn't stop gambling and I would clarify that I only gamble occasionally to have fun with my friends and it wouldn't affect my work as their councilor.
On a second thought though I think he wanted to say like when we are given extra responsibilities then we change our attitude at times because I myself was someone who used to be very lazy but when I heard I had to be in a camp about sports it changed my life as I used to wake up early and got more aware about heath,etc.
1417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Keeping A Record Of Your Losses Will Make You Realize To Stop Gambling on: February 29, 2020, 05:19:11 PM
No matter how you keep a record of your losses if you can't control your urge of doing gambling, it will still not benefit you.
This is partially true because if you keep a record of your losses you will quickly analyse that you are loosing too much and let me remind you what Einstein said " He called Compound interest the eighth wonder of the world" similarly I feel recurring losses in gambling is as big as that because you loose some extra money daily and if you add them up you could have saved a lot.

The first thing that you have to do upon entering gambling is to set up your limits. You should know when to stop and when to continue. Allocating enough funds for gambling would be an effective strategy to control yourself.
But, even setting limits is letting you loose money, right? If you keep a track of records you will be able to stop gambling much quickly. If you don't know how much you are loosing you won't find a reason to stop gambling.
1418  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: A long journey taken short - first and last journal entry of a failed trader. on: February 29, 2020, 11:40:14 AM
I can relate with your pain because someone in my close family did something like that, it wasn't trading but it was some land issue through which they made a big amount of loss but the difference between you and him is that he always had a positive intent in life and shared his troubles with his mother because his father was unfortunately paralyzed a few years ago in some accident.

Now what happened once he shared his problem is that his mother gave a hefty amount of money to him by selling some precious items which I don't want to mention here and the money was used to help him setup a business and if you look at him today he is earning well enough to lead a happy life and his mother is overjoyed when she looks back.

My advice to you: Please first of all relax your mind and understand that you are not the only one who makes mistake, we all do and your intent was right it was not like you spent money on drugs so have the courage and share your problems with your father/mother.
1419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Post a gambling site by: Newbie. on: February 29, 2020, 08:42:32 AM
Limiting or implying those rules wont be possible.Why? This is supposedly a decentralized  forum and doing such behavior would
simply remove it out thats why even admins doesnt limit that much or prohibit newbies to post up.Its up on the public on how
they do deal with it.The thing here is that the community would able to give out feedbacks which newbie readers should at least have
the time to read and research.
Pretty much that! Because, Theymos does not want the users feel like they are being controlled by the forum owner and hence even the little restrictions that have been applied on new accounts because of the immense abuse of that posting ability.

Now coming to point, I believe there can be some sections of the forum where newbies should not be able to create new topics, yes allow them to post in already created threads but don't just allow them to create new ones. So that if they have any complaint or something they can feel free to post but at the same time, they don't have the power to shill.
1420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling a threat or fun? on: February 29, 2020, 07:40:53 AM
Losing control while gambling is what makes it a threat when you do not how to stop and when to stop, this will make gambling a threat but if you can schedule your gambling activity and you only use money that is allocated for gambling only, this is fun and you will enjoy, winning or losing the game.
Completely agree with the first part of the post because it's a threat once you start loosing control over your gambling and it becomes an addiction once you know you are into problem gambling but yet cannot stop yourself.

I would disagree though on the other part as gambling can never be fun because gambling can only be fun when you are winning, no matter how controlled a gambler we are but when we loose we all feel stressed because let's be honest the initial thought was to make some money now even if we know we haven't lost too much but then loosing any amount can't be fun at least not for me.
