1541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling For Fun - What Does This Mean To You? on: December 31, 2022, 08:50:43 PM
So over to you now, what does gambling for fun mean to you as a gambler,? As I know that this phrase might mean different things for different people, would like to know what your understanding is on this.
We understand that someone gambling has its own pleasure, the phase of someone's gambling pleasure is different.

I personally spend time in gambling where if I feel happy in betting, for example: sports betting, Plinko and some interesting slots like Blockchain Megaways and others, I spend a lot in the game, The bottom line: I have my own pleasure to do it. The matter of defeat is not a detrimental element and victory is also not a pride for me, but I enjoy the game, sometimes I forget that it's already morning, when I bet, I forget about life's problems, my mind is a little more relaxed and I enjoy gambling.
I think there are some people out there who try to find a way to make profit from gambling and they are the ones who have some trouble. Lets be real and realize that we are talking about something that is very rare and not that common when we are talking about people who have no idea what they are doing.

There is no way of making money from gambling if we are not talking about the house edge, because house edge is the thing that makes sure that you are going to end up losing money and that's not really a good thing, it's really a difficult thing and I personally do not believe that it would be a good solution to your money problems, in fact would be adding to your money problems.

1 - trade: when people enter the market to trade they still don't have much knowledge of the market and don't have practice in day trading and as a result people lose money and get frustrated, but we have to see that in the market even the people who consider themselves gurus are not living on day trade, they took so much damage that they are creating youtube channels to teach other people how to day trade, but these gurus are making money with youtube channels and with books that they keep writing

2 - investment in cryptocurrencies: many people think that it is only to buy today and days later to sell that they will already be with high profits and other people enter the market with the greed of 10X profit but the point is that the market is uncertain, nothing guarantees that will the price go up a lot and how long will it take to go up a lot and as a consequence even when people buy and do hodl they mentally get tired and sell because they have lost hope that the price will go up a lot
I still think that investing is a lot better and it would be impossible to be broke if you did not invested 10 bucks. I mean if you invest a decent amount and wait like lets say 10 years then you will definitely get richer. This is not true if you invest into horrible altcoins, but if you invest into bitcoin or ethereum and keep it there for that long like a decade then you are going to end up with a huge profit.

This is definitely a tough thing because many people can't wait that long, but if you could then it would definitely be something awesome without a doubt. I mean life is not that easy and we are going to end up with a lot of hardship, it's better to get finance out of the way at least.
1543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 31, 2022, 07:21:02 PM
We have a game that may change somewhat although I don't believe at all that something will change in this league,but the game of Lens vs Paris if Lens wins,it can give us a false hope that maybe the Ligue 1 is still open and that Paris is not dominating as long as they have done in the previous seasons.I would love for Lens to win but seeing that they play more in a defensive way,they have conceded the less goals compared to most teams of the Ligue 1 makes me think that they will have difficulty winning against Paris at this direct clash.
Counter attacking towards a team that is that fast would not be a good solution. That is what good about PSG as well, they could attack you all game and if you get the ball and go on a super fast counter attack, they will be right there with you because they have super fast defenders.

From hakimi to marquinhious to kimpenbe they are all super fast players and will be right there with you. That is why it's not easy to score against PSG, teams still do it but when it's 4-0 then scoring and making it 4-1 is not really a neat thing, it's something PSG just didn't care about, it's not that easy to get the first goal of the game against them at all and Lens is not the team to do that if you ask me.
1544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 31, 2022, 05:16:32 PM
I will say that a responsible gambling start with our kind of mindset approach to gambling, we all have different opinions and how we take gambling, but not until that mind is set right we may only see gambling as a burden or a means to fraud us especially we we are loosing, we must be able to time ourselves, caution our bets, stake appropriately, avoid taking too much risk to gamble and enjoy the beauty in gambling base upon our own level and standard and we must not do copycat because others are into it therefore we must also participate in whatsoever thing they gambles at.
If there's an option like this on the site you are playing, then you can choose to maximize that option or just focus on your own strategy.
Being responsible in gambling is a must, you should not ignore this or else you will suffer from a big stress in gambling because of losing too much money. I personally have my own ways to be more responsible, just like playing on a budget and not all the time, also I can live without gambling so technically I'm still a responsible gambler and fortunately not addicted in gambling.
The problem with getting yourself banned from a casino so that you don't play here is... you could just go to another casino. It's not a solution to get yourself banned from one place, or even a dozen place because if you want to gamble then there are hundreds of websites out there and new ones come out all the time, you can't get yourself banned from all of them, eventually there will be a new one.

However, the best thing to do would be making sure that you are not gambling irresponsibly yourself because if you can do that then you would be fine. I am in charge of my gambling and my emotions are not, which means that I can stop whenever I want and that is the best method.

The new owners of Newcastle are ambitious and really focused on improving the squad to a certain standard. Manchester City started the same way and see how far they have come. Nothing is impossible the Newcastle side going on like this could be the next big team in the Premier league and will compete against to top 6 already for trophies next season. Their consistency will determine if they will be able to achieve champions league spot for next season.
Well they need to improve the understanding of Arabians from the sportswashing and that's why. Many Newcastle fans accepted them with open arms because it meant success and Newcastle has never been as good as they have been right now, which is an insane situation because the same owners were considered to be sanctioned just a few years ago because of killing of a journalist.

Hence, football definitely clears all the troubles, just look at how thousands died in Qatar and people talked about it and yet everyone in the world and their grandmother still watched the finals one way or another. I hope it does do better in the long run and can find rich but normal owners.
1546  Other / Archival / Re: 2022 was the second worst year for Bitcoin on: December 30, 2022, 08:56:36 PM
2018 is considered the worst year as it may be the first shock to many people who are new to the market, but compared to this year.
This year is really the worst year for bitcoin because it has never experienced difficulties such as war, economic crisis as well as interest rate pressure. It has to be said that this has been a challenging year as well as a test for bitcoin, and the fact that bitcoin ended the year at $16k isn't too bad.

I agree with OgNasty, in the future, we will have more difficulty and unpredictability than years ago, when CBDC and regulation were affecting the market and bitcoin.
I agree that this year has been one of the worst years economically, not just crypto neither because the whole world has been terrible economically. I had the worst year of my life economically in 2022 and I do not think that it has anything to do with crypto.

I made the most amount of money I have ever made, I made way more than I normally make and even with that I am still in debt, thankfully not a lot but that's thanks to me making a lot of money, whereas many people couldn't and they are living a terrible life right now. I am guessing that it's going to be a terrible year overall and we are going to end up with even worse situation in 2023 if governments do not fix the problem.
1547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: December 30, 2022, 07:25:38 PM
But I'm pretty sure that Newcastle will win easily enough against Leeds later. and I'm pretty sure of Newcastle's consistency at the moment in every game they've faced. 6 consecutive wins is not luck for Newcastle. But that is proof that they can always play with maximum performance. and the key to Newcastle's success is because the Newcastle midfield players have really always impressed me. especially Miguel Almiron. and another important point over Newcastle's advantage is because they will host the match later, namely at St James park Stadium.
Newcastle this season looks better. Last season they finished 11th in the standings. but now they started the season very well. The competition isn't over yet but to finish in the top 5 this season, I'm sure Newcastle can do it.
the game against Leeds, of course, it's 3 points for Newcastle that will bring them to compete with City. with the current situation in the Premier League, Arsenal will not be calm with the current goal difference.
It is about the fact that they have spent 100+ million on each of those seasons. Last year during the January transfer window right after the takeover because they have so much money and wanted to stay in the league, they were at the bottom of the table and after the takeover bought some players and managed to get to 11th before the season was over, which is a big achievement to go from bottom to 11th in half a season.

This year they spent a lot again and now working towards being in the top 4 and go to UCL which I am sure will happen. The current mode of football is spending money, if you give me 200 million dollars I can build a team that can be in top 4 as well.
1548  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin 50% Down Move Incoming? on: December 30, 2022, 07:43:49 AM
I guess it would be easier that any big negative news is capable of dragging bitcoin market up to 50% regardless of beginning or end of bearish trend.
I do not think so. For 68k to 34k, bitcoin took more than 50 days and for 34k to 17k, it again took more than 5 months of time. But, at the times of bottom, another 50% fall may happen in one or two days of time itself. Yet, not all the news are capable of taking down to 50% fall; so do not need to be worried as market sentiment is changing to positive on the verge of new year.

Like other people here, I am also confident about bouncing back of bitcoin market from here after instead of thinking about another round of bearish trend any more. Let's prepare for bullish trend till end of 2025.
1549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 30, 2022, 06:38:22 AM
Imam and Sarfraz on the pitch. Sarfraz is playing aggressive cricket which is what Pakistan need. He has scored 25 runs on 14 balls. After this pair not much batting left. Only Saud and Agha are recognised batsmen. This match very much depends on how far this batting pair is on the crease.
Just 2 more sessions left on this test match, don't you feel that Pakistan can easily take it into draw in their home conditions? Right now, Pakistan is trailing by below 30 runs and possibly 4 players can bat which means they can manage for more than 1 session for sure and in another half session, I cannot imagine that New Zealand can score rapidly to defeat Pakistan.

As of now, Pakistan may score 150 more runs or may set 150 runs as target for New Zealand to win this match but no enough time is left hence we can be sure about draw here.
1550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 Oscar Awards betting and discussions on: December 30, 2022, 05:33:31 AM
But the film was a box office disappointment, and despite a budget of close to $40 million it could only gross around $10 million. Now I want to see whether the jury has courage to select a film, that has been rejected by the audience.
I don't think that box office success is high on the Academy priority list when choosing winner for the best picture award. Its more about lobbying than anything else tbh, and every once in a while the best movie in selection gets the award.
It is so unimportant that I have seen movies not even be on 100+ screenings that got awards, not the best picture maybe but other stuff. The reason? As long as it goes through the whole award shows before the Oscars, and gets good grades, that means it's already "shown" to the world, like you have been to Cannes? That's fine, and you had a legal way of saying it was public? Like maybe 50 screenings on New York and 50 in some other state etc? Like Hollywood maybe? Then you should be fine.

Obviously it's much better if you just go around those and then have like 3000+ places air it, that would be much better, but how much viewed has absolutely zero connection to getting an award.
1551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 29, 2022, 09:55:44 PM
I really missed this very competitive league, let's see if the performances of the teams will be the same as before. Real Madrid and Barcelona must win 3 points without difficulty, their opponents are not very strong. If they make a mistake in a week like this, they can cause teams to panic.
I don't expect any surprise result this week, the leaderboard will not change for long and after 1 day Barcelona will be the leader again Smiley
Let's see if the first match in week 15 will be interesting or mediocre. Because these two teams are not the favored teams to win the best position at the end of the season. I'm sure we all miss the performances of Real Madrid and Barcelona more than the league itself, because the competition between these two teams has been eagerly awaited since Barcelona managed to return to the expected performance since being handled by Xavi Hernandez.  Grin
I mean it is really not that much of a big deal if you think about it. League is not something that is do or die for most of the games, it is either that way when it comes to last games and teams play to win, or it is already over by the end and last weeks are just boring waiting it out type of deal.

Like this league will be Barcelona and Real fighting till the end, so these weeks will not matter too much, but look at Ligue 1, it is basically over before it even started and that's the difference. So that's why week 15, week 8, week 22 these type of weeks do not really matter individually, they are just there so we would watch and have something to do for 2-3 hours away from the pains of real life.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Twitch To Ban Gambling Streaming By October 18th. on: December 29, 2022, 12:44:22 PM
Just recently my casino livestreamed their raffle giveaway on Kick.com, which bears some resemblance to Twitch.



Layout-wise, not a bad alternative I'd say. Might take some time for it to grow.

I am entirely sure that it would be something that is more and more popular overtime. Twitch has done so many bad things over course of many months now, maybe even over a year. People realize that they are a monopoly, and they go there when they want to first start out, but when they grow big enough there are other places, such as youtube for example, and you could always be there.

Doesn't mean you will make the same money, but if you make a lot already then you could say no to excess amount and switch for bigger potential. Which one would you prefer? Making 250k a year on twitch forever, or making 150k on Kick.com with a chance to make 500k+ one day if you consistently stream?
1553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: December 28, 2022, 09:43:35 PM
Memphis Depay is not a bad player, but he is not so good either, he is kind of an ordinary player. He didn't score goals in the 2022 world cup, he scored only one goal, and that was against USA in the round of 16. He is rarely in the starting line-up this season because Barcelona bought many players that are better than him last summer, and Xavi no longer needs him as an important player in the team. I feel Depay should move to another team as soon as possible, if he stays in Barcelona he will only play when there are injuries to first team players, or when the match is not so important to Barcelona.
True, Memphis Depay is actually still very good if he leaves Barcelona and joins another club in the transfer market later. It is possible that this could happen and Depay did not hesitate to pick up his suitcase from Camp Nou. Considering that Xavi also rarely gives him minutes to play, of course that is also a supporting factor in continuing his career with another club.
I believe that he wouldn't be able to find himself a place at the top clubs, but he could always find himself a team in the big leagues. Like lets say if him moving to Roma was possible, would that be bad? Or him moving to Dortmund right now? They are lacking strikers and Depay could help them a lot.

All in all he is a dude that is talented, but Lewandowski is much better than him, and truth be told there are only a handful of players in the world who could be considered better at striker position than Lewandowski which is why I highly suggest him to move on and find another club which would help them out a lot in the long run, both good for Barcelona to make some money and get rid of his salary, and for Depay to show himself and play somewhere.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 27, 2022, 08:38:06 PM
Union Berlin has been a team that mostly has been playing ins 2nd Bundesliga and the fact that they were leading the 1st Bundesliga for sometime it didn't mean anything for me,I was expecting them to go down further in the standings,I saw their going down since seeing their performance in Europa League where they lost against a team from Belgium,Royale Union and Belgium has somewhat a weaker league than the Bundesliga.

I would be very careful when placing a bet on Union Berlin despite them playing against Hoffenheim while Hoffenheim being down in the standings,the odds are already 2.10 for Union Berlin that is playing at home meaning it won't be that easy.
Unfortunately it's never too easy to predict a game no matter who plays who. This time it's even closer because you never know what Hoffenheim could do, just look at last year and while Bayern was bulldozing everyone they failed at Hoffenheim. Same could always happen, you never know because the inconsistent results cause the difference in the points.

This doesn't mean Hoffenheim is worse as a team just because they are lower in the points, some times they are better, but mostly they are worse, and that is why there is a question mark about if they will be better today or they will be worse. I am sensing UNion Berlin will win, just like everyone else, but it won't be easy.
1555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BTC or altcoin on: December 27, 2022, 06:49:03 AM
And considering how cheap bitcoin is right now, I wouldn't think twice before investing on it. The potential of bitcoin's price in 2 years from now is higher than assets in any other investments' fields.
It is cheaper right now but unfortunately greedy people are spreading fake hope about getting more cheaper prices to invest with. This is the reason that most of the investors are still hesitating and waiting with their capital. I would say that the current times could be the best for grabbing bitcoin for the prices less than $17k in our life time. Yeah, we may not see bitcoin prices to be trading below $17 forever after 2022.

I never have any dilemma about to choose bitcoin or altcoins because I do always have separate funds for altcoin investments like 80% of my available funds are for buying bitcoins at dips and the remaining 20% is alone for altcoins and I do hold more than 10 altcoins right now.

To my surprise new projects are still building on the old Ethereum ( ETHPoW ), few of the projects are successful through funds raising but I'm curious what makes developers to keep building on an outdated chain.
You are confusing; there is no official fork happened when ethereum adopted POS algorithm and I guess that ETHW was some fork from crappy devs like how we got lots of bitcoin forked coins when segwit was activated. Because, in my exchange wallet I found some ETHW balance equivalent to my ETH balance but the value is very less to ETH or ETC.

ETC is the only fork which is being referred as ethereum classic and there is no new one happened in recent times. Please correct me if I mess up anything regarding these. Thanks in advance.
1557  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading and investing,and still very broke.why?Is it spiritual? on: December 26, 2022, 06:51:50 PM
I sit-down to wonder why traders who are consistent in trading and also investing still remain very broke despite the effort they put to erradicating poverty,
The concept of poverty and wealth is a relative value, depending on the meaning that you put into it. But we can definitely say that it is much easier to earn a million dollars with 5 million available than to earn a million with $100 in your asset.
Your capital is only 10% influencing in your outcome but plan and experiences are occupying the remaining 90% which is the reason proven successfully people are easily making more money. In my opinion, earning a million from $100 is also possible for the experienced people (given that ignoring the time frame).

People who believing into spiritual aspects in trading or investing are lacking in experiences; once you gather knowledge and experiences then you start believing into your skills by leaving off any kind of external factors.

I was wondering if any of you know of affordable Tutor (sites or local) or Trainers or even group (example: meet.com or reedit etc..) or anything else I am missing, where I can learn an gain experience day/swing trading crypto more effectively so I can shorten my learning cure a bit and gain real trading experience quicker vie in person trading  (training/tutor) or online , I have gone through some online Courses out of curiosity and did few minor trades all ready and want to get experience live day/swing trading?
You may get some tutor who got plenty of experiences on teaching what books say but I am highly sceptical about finding a professional trader who could teach you along the way they are trading for themselves. When I tried to hire a mentor for my forex trading, the people, I met were all ex-traders who aspired a living out of trading but failed by losing all the capital. It means you may get some traders with good experience on trading but there could be very lesser chances for them to be still into trading.

Messi's role while still in Barcelona uniform was quite large and while with Barcelona he was known as a great footballer. Barcelona is a great club, a club that can produce great prospective players. At that time, Ronaldinho was released from Camp Nou because Messi's talent was already visible. Now, new talent is also starting to show in Pedri.

Now, Barcelona are no longer here. This season they quit early in the UEFA Champion League. So we think it's completely irrelevant if you're trying to build an opinion to create a discussion. The La Liga or UEFA European League thread is more appropriate for you to address.
I am not entirely sure that core Barcelona has would be enough. Like players such as pedri, gavi, dembele, de jong, ansu fati, etc etc these are good players but they will never be at the levels of the times when xavi, iniesta and messi played which means that they are not going to get the same championships and titles neither.

I am sure that they are going to be decent and good but that doesn't mean they will be a generational talent. First of all finding "another messi" is not possible at all, it is not going to be possible. We are talking about a player that won 7 ballon d'ors in his life, doubt that it would ever be possible ever again in history if you ask me.

So is there any Free crypto coins tokens ?
Like Youtube is full of videos but non of them brought to me Free crypto.
Can any legit old member enlight us here from where we get the Free crypto.
We have try faucets but it's waste of time.

So many newbies Also want to know how to get crypto for real ?
I am sorry to mention that you are almost 5 years late to collect cryptocurrencies for free. Even the people who collected cryptocurrencies for free, sold them when they see 2x or 10% profits from the point where they started holding. Honestly I have collected some 10k dogecoins from faucets in the span of more than 3 years from 2013 to 2016 and I never sold them hence they are valuing something big.

There were times, when faucets pay up to 1000 satoshi for just solving captcha and paying to some wallets and those wallets allowing to withdraw on 15k satoshi. I am sure many people had collected them but only 1% of people might be holding them. So, what you get now may be worthless but if you hold (given that only potential coin/token), you may get chances to be rich.
