Not a bad idea, if you do not mind to receive several emails and check them for the bonuses.
Also, obviously one is not supposed to sign in any casino that crosses one's path, shady casinos can also use the same technique for their own bad intentions.

Not sure how many reputable casinos around here send bonuses to inactive accounts to see if they can make them gamble, though.

This is what I am trying to avoid. Unfortunately, even sketchy casinos have a way of sending continuous and non-stop emails for promotions that looked genuine at first but deceptive at its core. Though I also doubt that reputable and trusted casinos would send some bonuses to inactive accounts but maybe they would after they accomplish and meet the required minimum withdrawal deposit in order to claim it.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to the terms and conditions of the website if it is illegal or not.
Most of the catchy promotions, Mostly high amount of bonus comes with a high amount of requirements in order to claim or to redeem, This is why I don't claim promotions to much because of the strings attached to it. It can somehow make you spend more than you plan to spend on that casino just because of claiming that bonus that they give you. But sometimes there are rare good promotions that is easy to achieve and get, That is the promotion that what spammers and abusers want. Those kind of promotion is loved by all since it is easy like free money.
Thats how bonus works which it is understandable and if it do looks like to be that an advantage for you then you are wrong or you do get the wrong idea.The ones who are commonly get hook up into it is into those gamblers who are just new or doesnt have much experience about on how these bonuses works and would rather they would really be that too confident on dealing with and realize later on that it wont
really be that easy to get out and make out some withdrawal on the time that you do need to hit up those terms before you could make yourself able to get out.
You would realize it sooner.
1442  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading With Borrowed Funds!!! on: January 26, 2023, 11:23:31 PM
I experience this once in my real business  though it is not trading or some online transactions yet I borrowed in Lending to use in my food business but as it progress? the business did not materialize and this leaves me having a debit increasing its percentage each week and it took me at least almost a year to pay off, since then? never that i borrowed any amount for investment but I only borrow for emergency purposed amounting that i can pay back sooner.
I already heard a same case and there are even bigger businesses or loans. Some are fortunate to grow their business even more and they can be able to pay that loan on time while some are just unfortunate. Well, that is life.

We need to try and take risk to see if what will be the outcome but at least you only loan a money which you think you can easily pay once the outcome didn't run well right? This is the important thing that a loaner must follow but the term in your loan is crazy if the interest grows every week. I think that's not fair. I heard that we can be able to report these kinds of lenders to the authorities because they are taking advantage of someone else.
Yeah, thats life and there are indeed times which we do really need to take up some risk if you do really like on making yourself to have some progress into your life or business.Some are really just that sticking into much safe side which it isnt that bad but there are ones who do take up some risk for them to dive in into those opportunities which does give up some chance for you to enhance and improve on what you are currently
dealing with.Avoid on getting those loans or borrowed funds as much as possible because you dont know on what would happen next where the market could end up some bearish
which would really be putting you into a tough spot.

Quote
Only gamble what you can afford to lose
sadly I don't really know who said this quote.
This is one of the safety rules in gambling so that it will not make you chase your lost  due to your emotional feelings. This will also caution you to gamble wisely and see gambling as fun and not a means of income,because people who see gambling as a means of income ends up been a loser.
A main thing that should have in mind on which "gamble on the amount which you can afford to lose always".You would really be making yourself able to avoid these posibilities on getting wrecked by gambling
if you do just simply stick into this rule on where you should only spend out the money which are really that intended for gambling.You wont make yourself that addicted and you wont make your financial status
would be affected.

Here's some qoutes too;

1444  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Genesis Bankrupt, Impact on BTC? on: January 26, 2023, 09:52:29 PM
It's difficult to predict the exact impact that the potential bankruptcy of a single firm, such as Genesis, would have on the price of Bitcoin. However, in general, news of a company filing for bankruptcy can cause uncertainty and volatility in the market, which may lead to a temporary decrease in the price of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. However, it's important to note that the crypto market is highly speculative, and individual events or news may not have a long-term impact on the price of Bitcoin.

As for your question on whether to sell or hold, it ultimately depends on your investment strategy and risk tolerance. Some investors may choose to sell a portion of their portfolio in anticipation of a potential price drop, while others may choose to hold and ride out any short-term volatility. It's important to remember that cryptocurrency is a highly speculative investment and past performance is not indicative of future results. Therefore, always make sure to do your own research, consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

it may have a lil bit of impact but if other positive news will come out, this negative news will be masked by good ones. and so the market may just move on. unless, they will be dumping a lot of btc in the market, but they are not. i guess, it is only their time to file for bankruptcy. i have used genesis mining services before. with all the troubles they have encountered in the previous years, i believe, they are indeed going into this bankruptcy state
Neither positive or negative, it cant be sure that it would be giving out some significant impact on the market since we do know that this isnt  something that you could really deal off with on this very unpredictable market on which no fundamentals could really make out some assurance whether it would really be making out some effect or not.If its negative then normally we do presume that it would cause some dumps but there are lots of scearios and conditions on where it didnt really give out any effect or impact and this is why it do mess out with our speculations on which this is why it isnt something a solid indicator
for you to rely on fundamentals most of the time.
1445  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's a good idea to just register on casino on: January 25, 2023, 11:58:33 PM
It can be beneficial if you don't mind selling your information completely for free to gambling company. Even if its legit website they will text or email you endless promotions and that's just the beginning. I don't think it's worth to do for something like 5-10 dollar. Its far better to only register on online casinos which you actively use. Your identity is more worth than 10-15 dollars that will make you consider not to fill your id.
Emails and texts really become destructing when you get more often of it. That is why whenever we register in casinos, it would be better not to fill them out completely and hide some private information about us. Some are even into false information just to protect their real identity but it’s quite risky for me too if I do that especially in times of winning’s withdrawal as it’s always our goal to withdraw more than our deposits.
What sucks here is that there re some registration which you cant really be able to proceed until you do fill up those information.Therefore, whether its up to you on inputting the false information or not
but when it comes to email, then it would be hassle if there are some verifications needed to be sent out on to your email which you would be needing to input a valid one which it is really giving
you no choice but to make use of your email.This is why its better to create or make one which is really that dedicated into your gambling habits or activity so that it wont really
be that a huge hindrance or distraction for whatever you do specially when you do hover into your own device.
1446  Economy / Economics / Re: Keeping money and keeping bitcoins? are they similar? on: January 25, 2023, 10:59:28 PM
The massive awareness to keep bitcoins for as long as possible promotes people to develop the attitude of saving, just like saving money. Do you agree with this that people who are very good at saving money become very good at keeping bitcoins when they finally start doing cryptocurrency? Or do you feel that there is no similarity between keeping bitcoins and keeping money?
I could say that there might be some difference and that would be pertaining about "CONFIDENCE"

when you do save up money then you wont really be bothered about volatility which is something a main issue when you do hold up Bitcoin but due to the earning opportunities that it do gives then you might just ignore it out in the end.The similarities on here is that when it comes to self discipline and control because if you are really that good on saving up in fiat money then same goes when you are saving up bitcoin specially for long term.Just make it sure that you wont really be that too active when it comes to watch the market every now and then which would really be affecting you because of the moving
prices.
1447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: We lose on the long run through return percentage on: January 25, 2023, 10:50:37 PM

I just googled the return percentage of online casinos and saw different percentages that doesn't seem real. A slot machine can be written to pay out 98%, but its programmed to pay 90% and it's publicized that way to attract more people to play using that slot. Though one slot could be paying out that amount in the casino, yet my point is that no casino offers 100 percent payout that means if a slot pays out 94 percent for every 100 dollar bill spent on that machine the player losses 6$ to the casino. That is if you play longer times you'll lose, and we can almost never stay atop of the slot machines after long period of plays, unless you win a jackpot. Even if you win a huge amount, you can lose. They are numerous stories of people who won the jackpot and ended up spending the whole money back on the casino within a short period, 1 or 2 years, they lost the jackpot.


Isn't it?

Inspired by Jean Scott - Frugal Gambler
Thats how house edge works and its a very common concept or thing and this is where houses do make money which it isnt something shocking if you do ask me.If you do really make yourself believe on getting 100% then you are wrong but its impossible that gamblers wouldnt be able to realize these things but come to mind of on having that 4-10% reduction on wins isnt something big and your mind would tell that
you could easily patch it up until you do bust them all, this is why gambling business is really that profitable because people tend to ignore out these things and do still continue to play
despite of the situation and condition that they are dealing off with.
1448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 25, 2023, 09:33:01 PM
As far as I play gambling I only use the casino at point A, I think it's easier to do and more fun to entertain myself, Point B I've never done it and until today I haven't tried it, from a game perspective it might be very interesting because we will always competing with our opponents, but unfortunately I personally can't play and understand the game especially poker I can't play it, maybe I need time to study the game at point B so that betting in my game is more challenging and fun.
People would be sticking out on things on where they do know on how to play and on Option B which it all pertains to some card and board games which is something that not all is really that able to know
on how to play and this is why they would be sticking into those casino based games which it doesnt really need up that too much hard instruction for you to play it out, or simply you could really be able to
play if you wanted to.Its true that this would really be depending or basing into someones mood and emotion on a particular time because not all would really be liking to play
luck based and would rather stick into that strategic one.
1449  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Btc get to $12k or $10k on: January 24, 2023, 10:56:38 PM
No one can predict this market, I used to believe this is possible some years ago and I tried to stay ahead of the game but I flunked, the best lesson I've learned is never to rely on those stupid YouTubers that claimed they know where this market is heading, it's all garbage. Gather some USDT or your favorite stable coins and start buying dips when there is big bad news affecting the market and make sure you don't run out of stable coins until the Next Bitcoin halving is near.
Basically they are influencers who just do some speculation just like us and they don't really need to be trusted because regardless of anything believing in some influencers like this is stupid.
They say that it is likely to happen, which means that there are only two answers when they say it is likely to happen or not, and now it is not proven, they cannot be blamed because it is speculation.
In fact, we should find out for ourselves whether what other people are saying is true or not because here we cannot stand idly by with other people.
No cryptocurrency investors should believe in the Youtuber or the influencer on Twitter because most of them were never patriots of the market all they want to do is to get their needed targetted views, likes, etc. And they will always do whatever it takes to achieve it.
Having said that, I don't the idea of gathering capital goods in this market either because we may not see the previous market bottom price and the best thing to do is DCA.
Not really that bad to see those influencers because you wont really be affecting yourself if you are that someone whose really that far more experience than them or simply does aware or knows on how this market behaves or works and any claims about precise predictions and speculations are just bullshit.Just do move on things that you do analyze and never ever make yourself believe on what others been claiming.
All of us are just mere speculators and investors which there's no way that would be finding out on what would gonna happen ahead and this is where you do make yourself
be realistic on what you would be doing.
1450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Nonito Donaire vs Jason Moloney on: January 24, 2023, 09:49:41 PM
Honestly not getting my hopes up with Donaire knowing how old he is already but from his last fight with Inoue it seems like he still has the hunger for boxing. That being said AFAIK just like what OP said he is vying to fight El Gallo to claim 5 divisions for himself. Although he may entertain this fight because worse comes to worse, he's going to be better prepared against fighters that are younger than him considering moloney's age, best case scenario he has a title to bag for himself. February is not too far now and I think they'd rush the two because money needs to be made. So we may see the two of them fight probably February or any other month that will give them both the time and prep.
But you could really see the speed and that technicality isnt really the same on his prime days and its impossible for us not to see up that one plus having that footwork isnt really that good when he's still young.
Now that he would be fighting against Moloney which is younger plus having that good KO percentage then we could say that power is more than with Donaire but lets see about the speed if
there's much difference in between two.If i were to choose up then i would be having some doubts on going all in with Donaire and its not bad to make up some consideration on throwing
up some bucks on Moloney.

This led me to think about taking a loan and purchasing an average two-bedroom apartment, but I have the concerns that I voiced earlier.
When we do talk about the future then it is something that cant really be known due to no one really knows on what would happen ahead and this is something makes it even more harder.I do love the idea
or thinking on having advanced and its true that we cant really be sure that we would really be lasting up for so long into that person you are living with or the one you do love.This is a matter of risk
taking because if you are really that eager to have your own house or apartment then it does really need up some ample time to make out that consideration and the best thing to mind off
is that you should really obliged yourself on paying it up no matter what because it would be a long term payment duration which something that you should prepare.
1452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This Smells Like Hypocrisy on: January 24, 2023, 08:38:22 PM
Gambling is frowned upon in Japan as far as I know, but not outrightly banned. Although some districts and prefectures are banning gambling entirely, because of the Yakuza connections that most casinos within Japan has. Yakuza can pretty much do whatever the hell they want in Japan, as long as they don't break the law, Horse Racing is a Yakuza-sanctioned sport in Japan, and most bosses there own race horses, funny story, you can't even make a mockery of their horses there coz that will seriously get you killed by the Yakuza, but I digress. It's all about their organized crime group there, and if they want it, they can do it. That is why the government itself isn't really keen on gambling but you'd see illegal gambling houses in Japan's busiest areas.
If you do have the money and the power and influence then no one could ever touch you even the government which it would really be normal that they would really be making some exemptions basing up into their interest and there's nothing we can do if ever we do make out some argumentation that banning gambling should really be in general or something that would really be including everything but we know that there
are really things which are r eally that in exemption and there's no thing we could do with that.Its their government then it would be totally be depending on them on what are the laws and regulations
that would be imposed whether you do like it or not.

1454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do online casinos disadvantage some locations from winning big on: January 23, 2023, 11:29:35 PM
I don't really think a casino will limit a particular location because of any law and remember that every country that accept gambling already have a regulatory body that is responsible to enforcing fairness and transparency between the casino and it's users.
Before signing a license and accepting to abide by it, it simply means that the casino has to do that consciously which implies that they already have a representative and a legal team who must have reviewed all if those agreements and I'm sure that they have a maximum pay out stated and as long as winnings above the agreed amount if there is any isn't triggered, there wouldn't be any call for alarm
What actually happened was that some casinos banned their sites from being accessed by citizens of certain countries. Maybe it's because that country has laws prohibiting gambling activities or there are other things I don't know.
There are several countries whose governments strictly prohibit gambling activities in any form. However, citizens still do this by using a VPN or changing the browser's DNS so that they are not detected when entering gambling sites.
Even though there are already many sites that do not allow customers to access using a VPN, I think a gambler will ignore this prohibition so they can still play or bet on gambling sites.
You would really be having some question on your mind that after all of the gambling sites available online on where you could choose from, then why there a re people who are really that eager on accessing sites which
they are strictly prohibited due to some law or something like that.Is this pertaining on the games offered? or simply they are really just that stubborn on where they do just like to deal up with things on what
interest them.This is why people do love on accessing out sites via VPN even if they do know that they are really that been blocked but still still trying out to access.
On the time that they've been caught then they do usually whine the most and telling that they havent done something wrong. LOOOOOL.
1455  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will crypto banks replace traditional banks on: January 23, 2023, 10:58:22 PM
Fiat banks can never fade away since Fiat still exist. Banks deal on Fiat which are the locally acceptable in various places. Banks do rely on government to deal on Fiat compared to Crypto which is decentralized and does not need anybody to approve of it's operation but looking at your topic, Crypto banks are likely already existing. If I may ask you, where do you store or save your Coin and token? I know you would say wallet and exchange and I ask, where do you trade your coin and token which I also believe you would say DEX and CEX. Now I ask again, these Dex and cex you have been dealing with, what are their roles compared to the banks we do store values and money? Is it not the same thing? But only difference is that banks are licensed by the government but Crypto is never  and I think  with time,  there would be a good integration of system which would mean that you can be able and free to deal on either fiat or Crypto in the same bank.
It would exist no matter what and as long government does exist then these centralized institutions wont really be ceasing to exist but rather still be remaining as the mainstream considering on how people do trust up
soo much the banking system that we do have.Even we do hate up too much centralization but we cant really deny nor ignore that it is somewhat secure and something more better if we do talk about insurances
and security which most of us would really be storing up your fiats.Now that we do have crypto then i dont see the relevance of that crypto banks since we are considered to be banks
of our own.We dont need one imho.

There is this thing about shopping and airlines that when you check and forget, they send you bonus or discount for your possible shopping/trip. Same holds true for casinos, if you just register and leave they will send you some bonus to get you started playing.
Ohh yeah, This is some kind of a clever trick to utilize the bonuses of the casino. Haven't think of this kind of trick before but I guess it is logically possible since I also receive emails on casinos that I usually don't play. I just keep receiving emails from them about giving me a bonus to play again and welcome back bonus. Using a separate email for this kind of trick is mandatory for it to be sorted (unless you want spams) and lessen the risk of getting stolen or hacked along with other important accounts,.
When it comes to separating promotional emails into those account alerts is something a huge pain in the ass because you cant really just filter out easily and able to see it directly specially if you are using an email
which is really that solely be used on gambling purposes and if you do tick up those check boxes about those options on sending email letters and other stuffs then your inbox would really be flooded out by lots of
mails and other stuffs which it would really be hard for you to point out which emails are important or not.If you do pertain about security then it would really be that a thing
that i dont mind much because most of the time i dont leave out any funds for any gambling platforms.
1457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 21, 2023, 07:33:35 PM
I personally prefer B because it is more challenging to play against skilled opponents and those who are also looking for thrill and excitement. Playing for the pot prize would be a big challenge for players who only want to enjoy and feel entertained and win the goal at the same time. Pvp games could be skilled based on some chances and specific strategies could be applied so I find it more interesting though I also play with normal casino games sometimes.

PVP games are really interesting if we are talking about a game that we really know well and are familiar with the strategies that can be applied. But in this type of game, keep in mind that even how good you are, there are still good players above you that might join that tournament with a big prize.

If a gambling platform will push that kind of gambling, the allowed players per tier should somehow be equal in performance to prevent newbies, semi-skilled, skilled, and professional players to meet each other on their way up. Though it can't assure how balanced it will be, at least it's one step to make the game more accessible to a different types of players.
So there should be some sort of category which i do highly agree on that because if you do make out a general room where all players could join in then those professionals or experts could easily milk out those people who would really be tending to join up.Categories could be classified basing up on the amount of bet that would be put up on a particular room which would indicate your expertise level which it is really should be a standard thing.It would be good that someday this option is something that could really be seen commonly because if we do at now on which it is really that hard to be seen.
Why? Its because of the demand on which we can really see that only a few whose really that interested into this one.
1458  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Two Types Of Traders - My Personal Classification on: January 20, 2023, 11:43:09 PM

To upcoming traders, which category do you want to belong? its your decision to make.
The awakened trader was once a blind trader who saw the "light". I think this is like the first learning stage of the trading process which everyone must pass through. It is a good observation that the OP has made. I think there is are traders that are stuck in-between the awakened phase and the blind phase of trading.
Once you dont have the;

-Learning
-Knowledge
-Awareness
-Skills

Then you would be considered to be blind but once you do able to experience on how to deal up with the market on which you would
really be acquiring these characteristics and behavior then you would really be just become awakened one.
Everything do takes a process and its not something that could really be obtained on a short span of time.

Inoue just announced vacating the bantamweight then instantly got a match with Fulton. This isn't a final date yet so maybe the venue can also change later, it's not to Fulton's advantage to fight in Japan.

According to one tweet Fulton already suggested they fight at 126. This is to put Inoue at a disadvantage while Inoue goes fighting without tuneup at 122. That's the first image I saw Inoue smiling by the way, looks like a K-pop singer.
You still able to see that smiling face? hehe. *I agree on that one though*

Is this upcoming fight in May or there's no final for this thing? 122 lbs wont be that much of an issue i guess but for 126 then i highly doubt that it would be giving some significant effect on Inoue.
Just like the rest been saying that i was for Akhmadaliev first before Fulton but it seems that they are in a hurry and i dont have doubts that they are really that confident
and see up some ways on how to beat up Fulton. This do really looks interesting.
1460  Economy / Economics / Re: what is the key to your success investing in bitcoin.. on: January 20, 2023, 10:08:57 PM

and I want to ask if you have ever experienced investment losses in bitcoin?


I doubt that no one has ever lost money after investing in bitcoin at this point and in this state. These losses are warning signs and lessons to avoid red flags after investing in order to know when to sell, hold, or buy more. Most people will always be at a loss if they do not have compatible knowledge of this.
We could still have that negative losses but those arent realize unless if you do close up a certain trade but if not then those are still tentative and still not considered losses if it wasnt finalized.
It is really just that it is really hard to make yourself that emotionally stabled when you do see the price is plumetting.It is really just normal since we are just humans which does have emotions
and seeing our money is decreasing which we would really be having that normal reaction when it comes to this.So the key on success on investing on bitcoin is to be that emotionally stable
in regards with your investment and dont easily freak out or panic in.
