Dice have been one of my favorite gambling game and am thinking of installing a dicing machine in my home just for fun, my 17 years old son is good in playing computer games and am thinking of introducing him to gambling after all he is going to learn it whatever ways if I don't teach him how to handle gambling risk and avoid being addicted. The need to have a dicing machine at home becomes paramount and am wondering which dice machine I can go for?

Dicing machine? so this is a physical game?

Never heard of it before as I usually play dice online, and I think it's more fun to play online since you can put a bet and you can win or lose real money.
Regarding telling your son about the risk, that's very important and I admire you with that as normally minors today are very aggressive in gambling once they lean and they don't consider the risk anymore.

Yeah very very stressful game it was with a lot of ups and downs and it was not easy to predict where this match was going. Surely it was game of the night and Jalen brown just turned it around with that half court 3 just 5 seconds before the end. Woow amazing game
Yeah, it was an epic battle at MSG. Jaylen Brown had a sensational performance, and he looked unstoppable. Unfortunately for him and for the Celtics, it wasn't enough to win. By the way, the starting lineup of the Knicks also performed great, although Walker's debut did not impress.

I thought that Kemba will play very good against his former team. Anyhow, it was a classic game 2 OT, players are all tired. But there can only be one winner and NYK bench was the key, specially Fournier, ex-Celtics who scored 32 in 44 minutes. Randle leads the team but he is being criticised for taking a bad shot and should have pass the ball instead for Fournier.

Kemba is not the same anymore, even during his time with the Boston Celtics, he is already inconsistent and that's the reason why he was traded to the Knicks which I think he would do well as there's not much pressure on him compared to when he signed with the Celtics where he was coming from a team that he always leads. Celtics traded him because they weren't satisfied of Kemba's performance, but let's hope we will see the old Kemba in NYK.

Being traded means the player is a dead weight to the team especially when his salary is big enough to acquire young players with potential to grow. Kemba Walker performance is very impressive when he was rookie but this started to slide after a couple of years without any improvement and competition from new players that entering NBA with potential. It's very rare for an old prime player to overcome this period of career low especially on his position. Maybe joining on low tier team can improve his career stat just like what other players did and wait for a star player to carry that team.

A lower team?  You crazy?  He got traded from the Celtics not to the Knicks but okc, then bought out.  Knicks picked him up on a one year deal for pretty much nothing.  And if you think the Knicks are a low tier team what do.you think of the celtics?

Can't underestimate the NYK I would say, they have upgraded their lineup this season already as they needed that because they failed last season's playoffs, but despite that, NKY from a shitty team going to the playoffs last season was a huge improvement. We are not going to see an overnight success but the way I see it, NYK is going to be a consistent playoffs team in the long run as long.
1603  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Before getting into trading on: October 21, 2021, 08:01:57 AM
Is it really necessary to take a course before getting into trading?
no need for private lessons or lessons or anything. most importantly you have a mentor or professional trader ready to help you, and also you need to practice independently studying in trading forums to increase knowledge about trading. because in trading the most important thing is basic understanding, and learning can continue slowly
It will be a good advantage if you have someone to guide you who is a professional trader, at least you will be aware how trading works and how it will be profitable to you. However, its not really a must that you enroll into a paid course just to get ahead from others because trading itself can be learned through free demos from youtube and even studying all its basics from the forum. But never expect that trading can be learned quickly because it takes time for you to understand its concept and eventually, once you get into trading experiences, that's the time that you will learned it the most.
1604  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How reasonable is the long-term investment in Altcoins? on: October 20, 2021, 10:56:32 PM
it depends on what coin that is invested, whether it is good for long term or short term investment. because there are some altcoins that have to wait time to sell them and it takes longer for the price to be high in the market. the rest, most altcoins are good for short-term investments. Altcoins with short-term investments are more profitable even though the profits may not be too big, but if you can manage them well, the profits will also increase little by little.
Altcoins are more on short term investments so its more risky compared to long term investments. You have to closely monitor the market as most of the altcoins just pump whenever there's positive news that affects the market, and then they suddenly dump. You might be sleeping when the price is still high and when you wake up, the price just dump so deeply. So as much as possible, always try to choose those top 10 coins in CMC as they are good for long term investments. Even if there is a sudden market crash, you won't to have to fear that you might lose in the end because altcoins that are good for long term investments usually recover after every dump.
1605  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon musk now the richest man in earth on: October 20, 2021, 02:59:00 PM
My question is can Elon musk sustain this new found financial spot for how long? We have seen bill gate coming back to this spot from time to time and occupying it for a longer time. Now that Elon musk is said being the richest in the world , is he going to keep to this status longer or we are yet going to hear another story of selling off assets because Elon musk is now known as a public stage man Grin Roll Eyes So what do you think?
Satoshi is holding 1,000,000 Bitcoins which if you multiplied it to its current price right now which is ~$64,000, it will be around 64 Billion Dollars. Almost 3 times as much as Elon Musk is. If only we know Satoshi then we might see him on the top of that but it will remain as a fantasy.

Anyway, I think Elon will stay on the top as long as Tesla and SpaceX will work well. IIRC, him and Bezos are the ones who are fighting for the top spot months ago but now Elon cemented his spot on the top. Everything has its end though so we might see him on the top this year and not next year or in the next 2 years Smiley.
Right. Elon won't be holding that title forever, so we may see changes replacing the spot after a year or two. We'll find out then when we get there.

Meanwhile, we can't question Elon why he became the richest man in earth as he is known to be a smart guy, and is willing to ruin his credibility for the sake of huge profits. We'll, if he continues to be like that, no wonder he will be able to sustain his new spot. But there's no way people should envy him as he is not really a good model after all.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 20, 2021, 12:22:59 PM
I haven't watched the whole Lakers vs GSW game, but the Lakers lost. It's not that the Lakers were missing something except a small chemistry and missed free throws and turnovers, but it's the GSW has been once again spectacular this year. A lot of guys has been improving, Jordan Poole was the most notable player who has greatly improved. They're once again surrounded with a lot of shooters, can both do damage from inside the paint or beyond the arc.

I hope to see a dangerous GSW again and reclaim their spot in the playoffs.
If Jordan Poole will be consistent all throughout the whole season, other teams will need to watch out for him because he is a great shooter.
With Poole scoring 20+ points against the Lakers, Curry got a triple double (his 8th on his career). This just shows that its not only Curry that are shooting right now but there are more who are shooting especially from the outside. Just seeing their roster and most of them can really shoot threes. Wiggins, Curry, Thompson, Poole, Porter, Bjelica. Almost all of them have a good shooting percentage on three points.

Curry, Thompson, Green and now we can include Poole maybe in the list. The Big 3 + 1 Cheesy. Overall, if they will not get injured especially Curry and Thompson I think the Warriors will be a playoff contender and possible championship contender as well. They can do it especially now that we already saw how the Lakers are playing, there is a chance that it will be Warriors Vs. Nets/Bucks. What do you think? Cheesy

There's the word "if", of course, the GSW will become a better team if Curry will get help from his teammates, he cannot carry this team alone and we've seen that last season. Just like the old Warriors who won multiple championships, they need some role players to make it possible and let's hope the consistency of Poole will stay until Thompson will officially return.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: October 20, 2021, 11:31:11 AM
I just love this conversation between Mike Tyson and Claressa Shields on the coming Canelo - Plant fight, Claressa is very honest and straightforward on why Plant can't beat Canelo, Plant doesn't have the power and the snap on his punches, ok he can move like Mayweather but Canelo will have the answer to all the kind of attacks and style that he can bring to Canelo.

It doesn't really take an experts to really saw how the fight will turn out to be. And I agree, Plant maybe one of the weakest punchers that Canelo will face. So maybe he will just eat up Caleb's power and then dish out his own. I doubt that he can move like Mayweather, Caleb is flat footed and will go square off against his opponent and that's what makes him a good target for Canelo to launch his deadly left hook or body punch or upper-cut.

That's correct, if only Plant moves like Mayweather then he has a chance to beat Canelo. In terms of power, we can easily tell that Canelo had a huge advantage and he also had good boxing skills than Plant although Plant is undefeated as of now. Better if he learn how to play good defense as Canelo would not stop throwing hard punches on him.
1608  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Cryptocurrency be a Global Currency in the Future? on: October 19, 2021, 11:29:17 PM
We don't know what will happen in the future but I think it will be difficult because every country has their own currency and it is difficult to be removed. although crypto is a digital currency that is developing well, it cannot compete with the currency of a country. but keep in mind that although crypto is not the currency of a country but crypto really helps us to invest in it or transact. Fiat and crypto currencies both have their own benefits and policies.
Even at the present, i really think that its a hard process for crypto to be a global currency because aside from being decentralized, its volatility will also create a barrier not to be adopted by majority of the countries. El Salvador may have succeeded having bitcoin as a legal tender but we know how tough it was in the start. There may be a lot of protests i guess that will certainly happen because they don't want crypto to be a global currency.

However, when it comes to crypto matters, i guess it all relies in the government itself. Even if we, citizens, are thinking that it would be a great idea making crypto as a global currency but if the government won't allow, then maybe we should just settle having crypto as a reserved currency and as an investment.
1609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: October 19, 2021, 01:56:56 PM
People are always Lakers and Nets and they disregard other teams. They didn't know how to calculate other team's performance because they are only based on rosters name. Lakers and Nets sure have the most best players in the league but there are other teams that got improved too.

We should wait for that.
Nicely said. I do think other teams are really improving in both chemistry and their skills. A good example is the Dallas Mavericks. There have been conflict with Kristaps Porzingis and Luka Doncic but the way I saw them play this pre-season is like they ironed all those problems and may become a threat in the West.
Luka is already good but paired with the Unicorn that will humble himself and just ride on whatever the play given to him will be a big step up for the team.
Utah Jazz is already being forgotten but with their roster intact, there's a chance they could steal the championship if all will go their way.
Betting for this teams while being underdogs against the favorites will be profitable.  Cheesy
How about the LA Clippers, we disregard them but they are a good team, in fact, they beat the Utah Jazz even without Leonard.
Based on the NBA Futures, LA Clippers is currently at +1600, think that's worth to risk.

1610  Economy / Economics / Re: Simple reason why crypto is preferred over fiats on: October 19, 2021, 08:59:22 AM
I never saved much of my money in the bank because I know anytime they could freeze it. Although crypto and fiat money are having different purposes, I would still prefer cryptocurrency to save most of my money. Plus it gives us full control of our wealth rather than letting someone having the custody of our own assets.
It's okay to store your money in the bank if the purpose is just to save. There's nothing to worry that they'll freeze your money anytime if you're not engaged with illegal activities.

Usually court orders bank accounts if the owners of it have been dealt with illegal activities and it's proven by them.

Agreed, and it won't be easy to freeze the bank unless it's related to illegal activities. Also, keep in mind that some banks will freeze your account if they discover it's related to cryptocurrencies. Saving is good because you are storing money in the bank, but I know some people will argue that if you just invest it in bitcoin, you will double your money in a year, which is technically true, but you are risking your money. What will happen if you lose? As a result, your money has been cut in half. If you don't want to hold or invest in bitcoins. Put it in the bank to save and use later, but if you have any extra cash, invest it.
If banks were able to freeze your account, then what's the real use of fiat if it can be easily controlled or regulated by banks or any government entities? The reason i guess why we should prefer crypto over fiat because there is freedom in crypto that we can't find in fiat. We are free to do whatever we want in crypto because its owner is the only one controlling it, unlike fiat that its backed by the government. And if given the chance that crypto will be use totally as a currency in the future, then its very convenient for us because we can use it either as a currency or as a profitable investment.
1611  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: At what Bitcoin price do you think altseason will start? on: October 18, 2021, 10:31:47 PM
I don't think it will depend much on price, but mostly depending on how the charts end up forming up. I personally don't think we're going to top immediately though, I'm going to guess that everyone's going to try to time the top and sell, then it's going to rise a bit more; proving them wrong.

That's what happens every time so I won't be counting on it this time. My play is to just continue buying altcoins that gets dumped just because BTC was pumping. I'll get this alts on both futures and spots and keep those positions open for as long as possible. It might be Bitcoin's time now but I'm certain that alts will have their own time and everyone is predicting this to be the last cycle so we might be in for an insane alt run.
Of course bitcoin and altcoins have their own season respectively. And its mostly bitcoin who drives along so that altcoins too will also experience its altcoins season next to bitcoin's bull run. But isn't it the trend right now that once bitcoin will have its bull run, altcoins too at the same time will probably experience altcoins season too? After all, bitcoin always takes the lead and whatever positive reaction that bitcoin gets, altcoins too will be significantly affected.
1612  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Russia took third place in the world in bitcoin mining on: October 18, 2021, 03:44:18 PM
This is one of the signs that Russia is increasing the use of crypto in his country, and this has been conveyed directly by President Putin that bitcoin has value so this is a sign that it will have a great possibility in Russia that it will eventually legalize bitcoin, and we are also astonished at china banning bitcoin transactions so that they occupy the last position and previously they are a country that strongly supports bitcoin, For now Russia is developing and exploring the use of crypto and later if there is full support from the government then they will rank first on the bitcoin mining chart.
No wonder China rank last in the chart because of its permanent banning on crypto and all its crypto related activities. I even think crypto will be better without China around. As for Russia, its slowly adopting bitcoin and gradually changed their negative views on bitcoin and crypto. And i think Russia will rank up in the chart soon as long as it has cheap electricity that will eventually increase bitcoin mining. And lastly, President Putin itself is now very positive on bitcoin and maybe in the future, bitcoin will also be applied in oil trading which is the President's priority before they come up legalizing bitcoin.
1613  Economy / Speculation / Re: Welcome to Uptoberfest on: October 17, 2021, 11:52:58 PM
This is a welcome break from the bears.

If you notice what is happening, every time BTC drops bears come out of hiding and tries to create FUD.

Instead of buying in that FUD, the time proven strategy is just keep holding your current position and if you do have the liquidity to do so, continue to dollar cost average into BTC. Given the increasing scarcity and improvements in the technology, it is inevitable that price rises in the long run.
I really feel the same. We had so many people shorting that eventually it turned to something that is a very big trouble and that is why I am very relieved that we are doing fine right now. Yes it is still not good enough and there are times it has corrections and that is why there is always a situation where we are going to not know what is going to happen.

I understand that we are not going to have any situation that we would know beforehand. However, it is cool to finally see it doing fine, yes it is not going to be like this forever and we are going to have to live with the situation where it is not going to be good so we are going to have a bad situation eventually but it is basically good right now and I am looking at the good part for now and not the horrible part that may come up in the future. Let's hope that this continues for a long time.
We have touched already the last quarter of the year and it is by this time that bullish season will about to start. And i think the market will be bullish until the end of the year. So continue holding what's in your portfolio, you'll be in huge profits by then.

However, the market crash will definitely appear this time as it become so visible every time the market is heading to its bull run. But never attempt to end up panic selling because you start seeing the prices falling. I know its just a market trap and any one who falls for it will eventually be seeing themselves in a huge loss. So just keep holding your current position.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: October 15, 2021, 08:41:22 PM
I believe the drama between Donaire and Casimero is already water under the bridge now. Because I have seen in one of the YT videos, Donaire's father had even good times with Casimero before Casimero left the US after his fight with Rigo. So the past issue may just be misunderstanding. It is boxing, so being professional here will be a good factor if they want to grow their respective careers.

Casimero apologizes prior to the announcement of their new mandatory fight. I think the drama he started is just part of the marketing and it was effective I think. There is no way he will mock a fellow PH boxer in a serious manner. All about just attention but unfortunately, ended with the fight against Donaire got canceled.

About this mandatory fight, I have noticed that Casimero is still not vocal about the fight. Maybe he was advised not to throw trash talks for now?

Probably waiting for the final date before making some trash talks in the public.

Or he doesn't want to trash talk his opponents, because he knows that it might be not effective because they are not in the same league.

And it's good to really hear that they patches things up, and that they are now with the same promotional company.

Casimero is not vocal because this mandatory fight is not a big one, maybe he will just focus on beating his challenger and start searching for a big fight again. I understand Casimero, he tried to gain the attention of the people by his trash-talking technique but he was not able to get big fights yet, but he should not stop, keep winning and eventually, he would be able to fight with Inoue, and it's gonna happen for sure as he is under new promotion management now.

He can't really do anything because this is a mandatory fight. Yeah, definitely, he is now under new management so the first day of business is to really win this fight and not to trash talk but focus on his training and it will be better if he can knock him out.
It would not be hard for Casimero to score a knockout against Butler because this mandatory challenger is a bully, he is very aggressive and wants to KO his opponent early, this is the type of opponent that fits Casimero's style as just like Donaire, Casimero is also good in looking for the timing to throw a counter puncher as he is not as fast as Inoue but his power is enough to KO a fighter in one punch.

Quote
This will send message to anyone, including Inoue and thus will create hype if ever they fight next year.
His chance to get a big win after a disappointing fight against Guillermo Rigondeaux which people see it a boring fight.

The price of Ethereum will go up a lot but now is not the time to invest here. Invest in Ethereum when the price of eth will dip again. You should but ETH in around $2000- $2500. wait for dip again. Do not invest big amount in Ethereum now.
The price for ethereum is definitely high but i think if you don't want to miss its another bull run, you can start investing in an amount you can afford to lose. But you could have been more profitable if you have bought ethereum when  it was $2000-$2500.

However, the best time to buy a potential coin is actually in its dip price but sometimes even if the price is high as long as you know the coin will even more higher in the next few days, so buying at the present would still mean a good timing. It's more on the profits that you can get and benefit in the days to come.
1616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: October 15, 2021, 12:36:19 PM
It's funny. I thought earlier that the Nets and Lakers to be the main contenders for the title this season. However, both teams have some problems at the moment. The Lakers don't look like favorites after a terrible performance during preseason. Regarding the Nets, I doubt that Durant and Harden will be able to reach the final series if Irving doesn't change his mind about vaccination.

Don't take it seriously for now. It's just a pre-season.

We can form speculation once we see the progress to at least half the season. Regarding Nets won't be able to reach the Finals, who's the other contender in the East that Nets won't stand a chance to win? Heat? Bucks? Bulls? Celtics? Sixers? We can fairly say that the Nets can handle all teams in the East even without the presence of the drama king Kyrie Irving.

I think Lakers fans are in doubt because it's different than their pre-season when they won a championship. Different in a lot of ways.
They are now playing against the Kings and they scored 71 at halftime which should be checked by Coach Frank Vogel. There's a hint of chemistry now and the pre-season helped a lot to tweak most of their bad plays especially on Westbrook's side.
They will still become the favorites once they show a good start at the regular season. With a lot of superstars in their roster it will be easy to grab the fans back and watch them dominate.
Looks like the Lakers will lose in this game again, we have few minutes left, and the Lakers are trailing by 8 points in the 4th quarter, I guess they will continue their cold streak, and the Lakers will still be winless after this game.

Lebron scored 30 points already, but not much help from the bench.

Westbrook has improved his shooting a bit but his contribution is not enough to help the team to get their first win. Look at his numbers in this game, it's not the usual stats he is getting in his previous teams. This is odd, 5 assists and 3 rebounds, it used to be double-digit, so will this improve in the coming regular season?

Yes, that's true, if he will continue with this poor contribution, then there's no reason to celebrate Westbrook's addition to the LA Lakers. He should be a triple-double guy, or at least a double-double guy so he's a big help for the Lakers. Their execution is not yet well polish, I hope we will not see this on the regular season again.

Anyway, by October 19, we will see the first 2 games in the regular season.

Nets vs Bucks
GSW vs LAL ( for bettors, LA is the favorites here by 5 points).

My first and maybe my last win for the preseason.  Grin

Not trusting my instincts maybe the best decision I ever had in my betting career.  Cheesy
The Lakers coaching staff forgot about the defense leaving them behind in the first half by the Kings. But, they came back at the second half with some adjustments. It's just not enough for the sizzling hot Kings especially Terence Davis with 20 points and 6 of them comes from behind the arc. Fox on the other hand with his normal stats at 21 points.
That's a nice win, I think it's profitable if you keep betting against the Lakers in the regular season as they are the most consistent team so far, LOL.
Consistent in losing so you'll also have a consistent win.

Tomorrow will be the last schedule of the preseason games, my bet for the Dallas Mavericks +12. I think it's too high for a preseason game although the Bucks will likely play with a complete roster.
1618  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Arbitage trading on: October 15, 2021, 09:13:36 AM
I saw an opportunity to make a profit by arbitrage trading. The price difference in some exchanges seems like it could make a profit. I'm just thinking, not sure. does it could really make any difference because if any transaction takes more time then any trader will lose the initial money.
I saw many youtube videos saying that anyone could make money from this type of trading. Need suggestions from professionals. Smiley
This could be more profitable if you have a good timing in the market and have a good capital, though its quiet more risky compare to spot trading just know how it is done properly to avoid losses. If this thing complicate your trading, better to do a spot and trade consistently. I didn’t try Arbitrage trading yet because of its risk, I just don’t have much time to spend in the market.
If you are not comfortable using arbitrage trading, then focus on regular trading as it has less risk and you won't be pressured when you want to sell the coins. Arbitrage trading may only be profitable for those who have been good in analysis of the price movement in different markets. Aside from that, it will also work if you have a huge amount of funds so you can buy and sell the coins from different exchanges. If you think you are not too good with that, better shift into regular trading as it has more chances for you to be profitable in the end.

But we are seeing on this third fight that Wilder isn't that someone who had really lots of excuses after he lost this fight because now he had really admitted that he did his best but still Fury is still better.

He accepted his defeat and that's should how sportsmanship works on where you do accept loss and I don't see any possibility of 4th fight same as yours because it had already been concluded
Have you seen any of the reporters making excuses that Tyson Fury was given more time to get up in the 4th round and Wilder injured his right hand well before the fight and so on. They will not accept defeat fair and square and that is what they are and the Wilder team has not come up with excuses but expect them to come up with excuses in a few weeks.
I wasn't aware of that and didn't notice on the boxing ring but did make out some research and turns out that it was true.
https://www.givemesport.com/1766269-tyson-fury-vs-deontay-wilder-3-boxing-fans-claim-slow-count-after-gypsy-king-r4-knockdown

Based up on observations it was really bit slow which I wont be surprised that sooner or later they would really make this as an issue
and would ask out for another fight? lol

That's only an excuse, the referee's count does not always go based on the clock, just let it go and give Fury some respect for retaining his belt. Wilder is the challenger, he should KO Fury so there's no more controversy but he was not able to do it, so he deserves to lose. No more 4th fight, Fury deserves to fight a better fighter that could give him a tough fight, I'm sure he would see it in time.

We can fairly say that the Nets can handle all teams in the East even without the presence of the drama king Kyrie Irving.

I think Lakers fans are in doubt because it's different than their pre-season when they won a championship. Different in a lot of ways.
They are now playing against the Kings and they scored 71 at halftime which should be checked by Coach Frank Vogel. There's a hint of chemistry now and the pre-season helped a lot to tweak most of their bad plays especially on Westbrook's side.
They will still become the favorites once they show a good start at the regular season. With a lot of superstars in their roster it will be easy to grab the fans back and watch them dominate.
Looks like the Lakers will lose in this game again, we have few minutes left, and the Lakers are trailing by 8 points in the 4th quarter, I guess they will continue their cold streak, and the Lakers will still be winless after this game.

Lebron scored 30 points already, but not much help from the bench.
