Gambling will always have the same approach as gamblers. They will just continue to gamble disregarding the crypto price volatility.
Yes, most likely gamblers who enjoy using the crypto system will just ignore what is happening and continue playing,

If they win, they will just withdraw funds and deposit back the amount that they wanted to use for their next try. If they lose
then nothing will be change same routine.

It's more about how gamblers take things out and how they will enjoy the services o platforms that base inside crypto
industry.

I have 2 BNB, what is a good project to invest in? Something with utility, no shit coins


you just have to hold it in. 
don't force yourself to invest in altcoins and it will only lead to a deadlock in the middle of a market that is undergoing a continuous correction.  or alternatively you can exchange it for bitcoin or eth, this is more suitable for beginners and don't think too late for bitcoin.

Better to hold and not to stress yourself, you already have one of the best asset inside this market.

Unless you are willing to play with how this market works and take your chance to the rollercoaster ride around the market,
there are so many up and down and so many changes from time to time.

It's more how you think about the potential of your asset and how long it will take for you to gain your target profits.

The rumors of a Kevin Durant trade to Portland just heated up quite a bit as Dame posted a picture of KD and him in Trailblazers jerseys to his Instagram. Probably just wishful thinking on Dame’s part, but interesting that he’s fueling the fire of these rumors. I can understand why though. Dame has never played with anyone near Durant’s talent and Portland has been trying hard to get him some help. I thought this was nonsense, but maybe there’s some reality to these rumors.

Damian Lillard is still following his stand not to change teams even though he already hinted several times that he might find a new home. For me, that makes sense to do and he should be supposed to do it for a long time now. Portland Blazers failed to surround him with good role players and I don't know why Lillard is still staying with them regardless of the contract he signed for.

But yes, that rumor is non-sense as that is not close to be happening. Kevin Durant will stay on Brookly Nets and probably will just wait to use his Player Option (if any) before considering switching teams in the near future depending on where the team will end up every season.

I remember him back then when he post on his social media account about Melo.

And things went smoothly for Melo and he again have his chance to play inside the league, let see if this kind of rumors
can be materialized. Maybe Kyrie can stay and be the alpha that he really wanted to be, though it's really intriguing
if there's a chance that Blazers and Nets can take in between and settle the possibilities.
1544  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: June 26, 2022, 09:34:05 AM
In 2021 many experts believe that Matic is the next 100x in the near future, this makes me invest in large amounts of matic even when rising with a price of more than $ 2.4, now the price of matic is around $ 0.6 and has risen more than 52% in the last 7 days, Hopefully 2 or 3 months can return to the price I bought which is $ 2.4.
If there are no more market crashes in the near future, then obviously it is still very possible for Matic to increase to 100% and be close to the price you have bought, but I am still not sure that the market will not crash again now, because the current market conditions have not so stable like last year.

Yes, Matic still has that big potential to bounce and try to reach or maybe break that buying position that you have,

if there's more good news that will come up inside the crypto industry and there are updates and good progress
from the team that investors' interest will be more likely to buy back or invest more, the value will continue to
rely on how the developing team takes their actions to continue bringing more big holders
to support the Matic chain.

But to get the date of when they will fight - the purse split matters to their respective promoters.
In some cases, the boxers themselves want to fight as soon as possible.
But the delays originate from their promoters, who are not in agreement with their split.
And yes, Crawford vs Spence Jr, this will definitely happen, only the date is yet to be determined.
They will rake huge money, but getting the 4 world titles would be the best to get from this event.

Not in rush as I think whether it's not organized yet or not, the possible date will still be in October or November.

The purse split is really an important matter to discuss but I think they are close on the deal. Maybe there are other issues that need to be addressed and not just the purse split like location, venue, and any others.

But one thing is for sure, we can expect this fight this year. I don't see any reason why it should not happen.

If there's anything that they need to settle before signing the contract, they will for sure will talk and sit about it.

The fans are waiting and the promoters and both camps are aware of potential money making fights between these two title
holders, aside from the belt but more on the money side.

They know the value of each other and they just need to clean everything, then schedule the fight and start making
those promotions to attract more fans.

So much have been in the fore play in Bitcoin and to that a lot of issues have forced Bitcoin to behave in the current behavior, from sec calling Bitcoin an anti-environment and eco friendly even though we know all this are campaign of fallacy championed by anti Bitcoin crusader.  
Bitcoin haters are fond of doing these fake news every time the crypto market is down, and this is not new to everyone here. While they always anticipate for the collapse of bitcoin and its crypto market, not even knowing that this will even gain us more interest in the market as the more prices are dipping, the bigger the opportunity to re invest again. So let them believe in their own lies, as they can't do nothing if they see us making great profits when the bullish season is here again.
Precisely, if you know how things work, then you will not be bothered by anything.

People who have that kind of mindsets are the one that being affected most when the market start to pump high.
There are good traders and experienced traders who treat this as opportunities to buy and hold more, long or short
they've got profitable strategy that will allow them to continue to enjoy whatever the market behaves.
1547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does staking even make any sense on: June 25, 2022, 07:31:44 PM
It makes sense if your goal for that coin is long-term hold and staking helps you to get more of that coin in a passive way. It also provides an incentive to holders to keep on hold the coin even though the crypto market has high volatility.

Yes, if you really supporting the coin and you are willing to wait for more coming from the developing team.

Staking can give you more additional coin while keeping the coin inside your wallet and allowing the network to be open for
you to be able to gain your staking rewards.

There are people who still have the faith that staking can continue giving them passive incomes, not that much with the
current market, but who knows if the project will pump high.
1548  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Any changes experienced within body - Gambling??? on: June 25, 2022, 06:38:07 PM
I remember last last time, I feel like I really want to vomit, my head is spinning and I really can't think well. All I knew was I need to get back what I lost, I always sleep late at night searching for some tricks and strategy, I am really happy that I encounter this thing in my life. It serves as a lesson to me that I need to take care of myself , my physical and my mental being.

What? Has really got to this step before? I would have quit and when I said stop, I mean completely, there is nothing in this life that worth more than life with good health. Gambling money can make anyone but not at the expense of life, the last time I experience such changes in me was when I gamble with the money (last card on me) I was supposed to use for the week when I travel to another state, I wanted to make something out of it to gain more on a sportsbook but turn out that I lost all, it was small though but at that moment, it was really big for me.


It's not really healthy once you are already attached to this kind of activities, the money that you can't afford to let

go will keep haunting you, thinking that there's a way to win it back will continue polluting your minds, and like what he said,
he can't barely eat and sleep since he wanted to create a strategy that will allow him to win back those losses, only to realize
that it's no longer healthy for him.
1549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: June 25, 2022, 06:10:59 PM
Even though we haven't heard any 'official announcement' yet, might be just sometime now as they might have been ironing out few things before going out in public.

And as mentioned, maybe the date and venue is one obstacles that they have to settled. The network will have to come out as the best place for this fight is, and then the date itself.. I think money wise and split, verbally they could have talk it down already. And we are going to be privilege to witnessed another great fight if this happens this year.

I agree with you. I even think this fight is now almost a deal but just a few things are being properly fixed before the official announcement.

In the first place, there's no other boxer that both Terence Crawford and Errol Spence should fight but between the two of them. Even the majority of boxing analysts and known personalities are throwing their respective opinion that the fight should happen no matter what.

This is a fight that has no excuses or reason to delay or what. We will surely see this fight happening this year. There's no doubt about that. Maybe they are not planning to hold it close to the date of one of the biggest fights also this year, the trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
Well this is something very interesting, and I hope it happens like this, but I think that the main reason why they want the fight to happen is because of the amount of money that is involved there, I don't see that they do it for the pure interest of boxing, I don't think that it be for that, rather the most logical thing is because of the business model, because the big investors are willing to make juicy millionaire bets, and with respect to the trilogy, that Canelo vs. GGG is something that is good is positive, but in my personal opinion I don't see this fight as exciting, because CANELO has faltered a lot, who I see as good for making good fights is the Russian Bivol.


Boxing world is full of billionaires, they are doing things according to how the money will flow,

it's not a secret anymore and with how they handled the fight, it surely generates millions to billions of dollars. An easy way
to bring huge amount of paychecks after the fight.

Whoever it is, the chance that promoters will bring a huge noise is always there. They will continue to make sure that
fans and gamblers will support and throw a good amount of money on the table.
1550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 24, 2022, 11:28:09 AM

Right now NBA Draft Paolo Banchero was the number 1 pick by the Orlando Magic, while Jabari Smith was the 3rd pick by the Houston Rockets, and right now I feel sad because our full-blown Filipino player Kai Sotto was undrafted, but still, I think he can surely train harder and aim for it next season,

Well, he is not on the top list of players that would be drafted so I'm not surprised. Though we are hopeful that he will get drafted, but we have to accept the reality, yes, there's always a next season, all he has to do is to improved himself and try to be a dominant center, he is still young so there's still plenty of opportunity for him.

He's still young and has lots to improve. The best thing now for him is to continue working his way.

Improving what he can offer and make the team realize that the next attempt he will do should be a good grab to take for
the team, height and IQ both are already with Kai, he needs to keep enhancing his skill-sets to make sure that he will land
Himself into this league. For now, playing with other leagues will allow him to showcase his talent and be noticed by scouts.
1551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Mark Magsayo vs Rey Vargas WBC Featherweight Title (July 9) on: June 24, 2022, 11:14:29 AM
So we will see if Magsayo can test that and landed on Vargas and if he can get up and not get knock out by that left by Mark.
Vargas should not allow that to happen as Magsayo really has the power to knockout an opponent, that's the best chance of Magsayo to win and therefore Vargas should be aware of that. Why would he give Magsayo the edge in the fight if he can score by points only, he has to be smart to beat the champion.

Magsayo is not a champion for just nothing if Vargas will be careless. Magsayo can take the full advantage

knocking him down. The Pinoy pride is also explosive and has a solid combination that can KO Vargas. It's expected that both
fighters will be aggressive proving something in their upcoming fight, there's no room for mistake and carelessness, fans will
love to see explosive toe-to-toe exchanges of punches between them.

I hope both will be aggressive so we will have not to worry anymore about Magsayo successfully defending his title. This is his first defense, right? So he should make an impressive win here, a KO win is the only way, there's no way Magsayo will win in the judges scorecards on this fight, he should seek for a KO as fans would love a boxer who is a KO artist.

Personally, I really like to see how both will come up inside the ring with both intentions to win,

Vargas to attain new division belt while Magsayo is to defend his title and bring more hypes to his name, the winner will take
all especially the token to have more money fights.

We will just need to wait for the outcome of these upcoming fight almost 3 weeks or fewer and we will see them inside the
ring and start impressing the fans.

Betwrong.

From $0.1 to $12 and  won it from free spins. you are very lucky. Slot games are essy to play funny to play but fo win if like you, damn I did not win like that with my bet.

I will try more with free spins Duelbits give me and if I get luck enough to win like you, I will share here. On Duelbits lot of games to play and I can not stop.  Smiley
@Betwrong really lucky I saw it a few times on some of the casino platforms posted.

Sometimes seeing other people win, I want to keep playing but the reality is that even though many rounds are finished, there is still no luck, meaning that free spins have never been obtained even though I always wait like that, well the name of the game is a little annoyed but fun.

I will not be influenced by other people's wins, Tongue I will still play my best but when I win it needs to be posted as joy. Cheesy Grin

Being inspired to believe that luck will soon arrive to you and back you up with a great win,

There's no wrong as long as you are not too aggressive in fulfilling that lust to win. Always remember that addiction starts with
the kind of mindset that keeps you wanting to play and try if luck is there for you. Being responsible while enjoying the game
something that gamblers should always possess when inside the house.

1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: June 23, 2022, 12:47:32 PM
I think when gambling and using BTC pairs it will make you think more because the very expensive BTC exchange rate will make you depressed when you lose every satoshi, it's better to use altcoins or USDT as you mentioned, currently I have many gambling places which provide a choice of altcoins to be used as digital currencies for gambling, such as XLM, XRP and TRX for example.
It will hurt those who go in and out of a gambling site but for those who are staying and still have their funds intact it won't affect them much. The amount of Bitcoin never moved, unless you gamble it and the same goes for altcoins offered on a gambling site. Now when you do withdrawals, that's when everything will change and you will feel bad about how less your winnings are exchanged in USD compared to months ago.
If that's my case, I'd rather keep it and use it on gambling until the value goes back up. Just enjoy it for now while patiently waiting. The amount to gamble though should not change just because you think it's lesser in USD. 10k sats bet before should be 10k sats even today.

If you are good at whatever gambling games you are playing, better to keep using your Bitcoin

or if you are using other crypto and you don't have that kind of mentality to keep exchanging your crypto to fiat after playing
you'll not go to worry about the current market movement, but if you are a daily gambler who keeps withdrawing your fund from
time to time using crypto is not a good way to fund your wallet.
1555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Japanese man gambled away a huge Covid-19 relief funds mistakenly sent to him on: June 23, 2022, 10:54:20 AM
This is a case where I am inclined because the man was not to blame, well he was to blame for betting and losing what he lost, but I am in favor of something, if a person receives money, that money is already of that person, the error was on the part of the person who sent it, when the money enters a person's bank account, I see it as entering private property, no one has the right to enter without the full consent of the person who owns it,
luckily it doesn't work that way. I am sure each country has laws that protect people, companies, banks, etc... from mistakenly sending money to the wrong person. although I see your point, it would still most likely be illegal to use the money that has been mistakenly sent to your bank account. sure we can blame the sender for the error but you'd also be blamed if you withdraw and used that money knowing that the money is intended to be sent to you.

different opinion for sure, but the amount is not something that can easily let go and the purpose is also important.

You both have your own shared opinion and there's no wrong with how you take the responsibilities of both sender and the receiver,
they both have the mistake but the big concern is the way the receiver did with the money. Losing that huge amount into gambling is
something that he's really being blamed.
1556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: June 23, 2022, 10:36:30 AM
Some major moves, Portland acquire Grant from the Pistons.

Quote
The Portland Trail Blazers are acquiring Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant for a protected 2025 first-round pick and additional draft assets, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/34132481/detroit-pistons-trading-forward-jerami-grant-portland-trail-blazers-2025-1st-round-pick-sources-say

I think it's a win win for both teams, Blazers are on a rebuilding phase and need someone like Grant to help Dame next season.

While Grant was not given enough time when he was in Detroit because they have been laden with players like him at the same spot.
I still can't forget his contributions when he was still in the Denver Nuggets last bubble. He is like the 3rd option of the team at that time when it comes to defense.
It's a bit unfortunate that we didn't see him play that much when he was still in Detroit.

Now seeing the current roster of Portland, it looks like he will be given more time there. Lillard now has a partner at least offensively though Grant isn't the same as McCollum who is very good offensively. Let's see but the Blazers won this trade I think.

Yeah, Grant is a good catch for Portland, maybe this is the last run that they have with Dame to make into the finals in the West but not sure if their current roster is enough.

They need another one or some role players that can fill the gap when the starters are resting. But there could be more players in the field that they can get before the start of the next season.

Blazers are trying to bring players that will help Dame after trading CJ,

Grant might be a good catch for them if he will contribute the way fans expect him wearing the Blazers uniform, it will
be a win if Grant fits with the way Dame plays the game and with how Blazer's coach design the system, looking to see
if how Dame will take care of his team after being separated with CJ, he's still the main alpha who will be leading the team
on their next quest chasing the title.
1557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can a new sportsbook gain trust? on: June 22, 2022, 12:56:46 PM
If it's all about testing the new sportsbook and they want to be tested out by the community. It will be a normal thing to do to deposit in newer sportsbook.

But if you're the type of bettor that don't have the idea if it's a new one or not, you better stay to the best bookies that you know.

Every sportsbook went through the same difficulty of being known because the start is the hardest. I think there's no secret on it as long as you know the process, marketing, building rapport to the gamblers and so on.
because it takes time to be trusted by many people. Gambling platform providers, not just sportsbooks, must go through a long process. and providing the best service, that's what all gamblers hope for.
no matter whether losing or winning. when gamblers get good service, they feel comfortable and safe when playing. of course, no customers will leave.
Gaining trust does takes time and it's not something that could happen overnight which means that you do need to hook up players or community interest for you to say that your business is getting some traction or attention which is something that you can't really control or assure of as a business owner therefore you should really give your best on giving best service,promotion,perks and bonuses and have  good and honest business so that people would really be that comfortable on staying up the platform.All you do need is to sustain.

Hard work and more on finding spice that will gain attentions of those gamblers.

It will not happen overtime since most trust issue is the case why gamblers are staying with the site they already using
for a long time, newcomers need to develop relationship after getting the attention. Once the gamblers give them that
chance they needed to supply a more interesting offer or additional treatment to make sure that the gambler will comeback.
1558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does bitcoin dump have any impact on gamblers ? on: June 22, 2022, 12:41:25 PM
Gamblers around the world use crypto and bitcoin to play the bets. Do they really care if the bitcoin prices dump hard? I know traders are directly impacted by this dump, and investors are also in panic but what about gamblers. Their motive is to play gamble and they may not be a concerned if the price of bitcoin is declining sharply?

If the gamblers knows how volatility the price of bitcoin is, then it wont affect them as they should have realized it really well. Means that they are ready for any case that may happen on bitcoin's price. Even if the price dumped crazily, they know what to do with their bitcoin (hold it) till the price back to the price when they started their gambling session. For those who are not ready with crazy movement of the bitcoin price, it is better to use stable coin.

Good advice to gamblers who don't know how to work with the volatility of bitcoin,

it's better to use stable coin, it will allow you to continue without being bothered in a rollercoaster changes of value
of your bankroll in terms of fiat.

But if you are a gambler who knows how to deal with this and you are good at balancing your bankroll, you'll treat this
as a normal case around, you'll be patiently wait before cashing out.

.....
as well as Kyrie already played with Lebron in Cleveland and they get along.
Did they not split because Kyrie was unhappy being with Lebron after they lost the championship? Sure they patched up their relationship off the court but that doesn't really mean they can play together again and do well. Kyrie will probably the dominant Alpha on that Lakers team if the trade happens and I'm not sure if an aging Lebron would be happy about that.

Kyrie left because he wants to be the main man on the Cavs team, he went to Boston thinking he could be the main man over there, but no, Brown and Tatum has already been 2 of the best Boston by the time. Kyrie had an attitude problem, If he have overcome that character and became matured enough to win another ring, I guess LeBron and him could get along well again just like how they bear the 73-9 GSW.
And, it does really make sense if the Lakers would trader Davis coz he is most likely to get injured again and miss more than half of the season. worse the whole season.

Lakers management needs to review all the possibilities before signing or trading anyone,

the league is no longer the same super team is not composed of paper players but those role players which mostly undrafted
or just come out from nowhere but provide decent performances.

In terms of trading Davis, it's wise for the team to let him go while he still has a big value. Let LeBron finished his contract
and whatever decision he wants after letting him decide.

I'm shocked that someone takes money that isn't theirs to go play. But is this story really real?
it's most likely real. if you searched it on google you'll see a lot of articles regarding it from different news websites. it is also not the only scandal involving covid-19 money relief funds in Japan. if I remember correctly there is even a guy who flew out of the country just to escape being arrested by the Japanese police after being connected to a  massive covid-19 fund fraud.



Yep, you can find those news circulating and if you seek deeper you'll find out that the news was true,

I think it's very possible since there's money involve and there are greed people who tempted to do such things
it's human reaction and these kind of people are existing.

What make it worse, the person who are engage are addicted to gambling and he used the money that supposedly
for the people who are affected by covid19.
