181  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: August 04, 2023, 07:57:56 PM
~snip~All of us who gamble dream about some crazy big win, but... but... we need to be real here. Big wins happen, but not so often, and for sure not for every one of us.

Only those who are lucky can get big wins. But look how many players are competing for big wins. there are very few chances to win big. Someone who won $600k would have used the profits for the rest of their life. Just bet a few dollars and he won a $600k lottery, it's unbelievable but it's true. It's very rare for players to get that big. I hope he can enjoy his big win and not put it all back into gambling.

Winning such a huge amount is one in a million chance and it rarely happens. It's hard to win that prize even if you got all the luck in the world so if ever you'll be given a chance, you have to be wise in spending because to be honest, no matter how big the prize that you might have, you could still lost everything in just a short time if you will not use the money wisely.
No matter how billions you may take, if you will allow everyone around you to abuse you and you will not manage your finances wisely, you will still end up losing everything.

Dapat nakahiwalay ang personal email mo sa mga pangsali mo ng airdrop at kung ano pa mang promotions. Dapat ang email na access ng mga wallets mo ay hiwalay sa email na naibabalandra mo publictly nang sa gayon ay hindi maapektuhan gaano ang private details mo incase na may magtangkang manghack sayo.
Bago rin magclick, magisip munang mabuti para hindi mahulog sa trap ng mga scammers. Marami nang naglipana ngayon at bawat trend ay inaabangan nila para magamit na namaan nila at madaling makapang biktima kaya dapat tayong maging maingat. Kung lagi silang nkakaisip ng mga bagong strategy para makapang hack or scam, dapat lagi rin tayong nagiisip ng mas malupit pang paraan para maiwasan sila.

Know the Market learn the Market and it's very important to know it's financial and big instutions playground.
U got to know their rules of game.
I know the rules of game and i make all the moves according how the big guys and big funds moving.
Follow the rules of funds and wall Street sec and Fed and you Are good here.

Following the actions of the big players can lead you into a trap. The big players may intentionally do the wrong thing because they have enough money. Beginners don't have much money. Therefore, it is better to think with your head. Beginners should realize that the market is waiting for their money.

I certainly agree. We shouldn't rely too much on the trading activities of whales because we might only end up losing everything. Trading is a long process of learning and it is better to have the eagerness to learn and do researches for us to adopt new learnings than to follow the strategies or movements of others. Each tradng activity is unique and some strategies aren't applicable to everyone so we better look for effective strategies for us. It may take a long time to learn but it will all be worth it.

Blocking everything about gambling as well as ads and promotions will surely help but it will require self discipline and proper control. Temtations will always be around us so it is important that we will be 100% dedicated to quiting. It needs a lot of courage and willingness to stop. It should be mind over matter or else our emotions will still be superior over us.
It is our personal decision to quit or to continue because even if we block everything about gambling, if we aren't willing to quit, then we will still find ways to gamble. We shouldn't rely on what we can do to avoid gambling but rather check ourselves if we're really willing to give up gambling.
185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It's safe to say - gambling is a guy thing. on: August 03, 2023, 03:03:21 PM
~snip~

In my opinion, women have to spend a lot of time on their appearance, family, children, cooking and cleaning, so they have much less free time than men. By the way, women are less interested not only in gambling, but also in computer games, sports and other hobbies. For example, walking down the street you can notice a column of bicyclists. Note that the number of women is always much less than men. The same thing happens in the ranks of runners.

This is definitely true, most women are filled with lots of activities that they don't even have enough time for gambling. Most women these days are focused on making money through online opportunities while taking care of their kids and families at the same time.
Women are not into gambling too much simply because they usually focus on other things and they aren't into risky activities such as gambling as they already know the possible effect that it might cause us. Women's instinct is always advanced and they always think of the future.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Legality of Online Gambling in Different Countries on: August 03, 2023, 01:58:43 PM
There are several social media influencers in the Philippines who promote various online gambling sites, and players can deposit using a mobile wallet. I'm not sure if they have clearance from PAGCOR, but given how openly they are promoted, I believe they do. They began to emerge gradually before the pandemic, and today there are many more.

One of the most popular of these local online casinos is Philwin but Pagcor did not give a license to this popular online casino being promoted by influencers

https://bitpinas.com/fintech/philwin-not-pagcor-licensed/, there are risks playing on casinos that are not licensed by Pagcor
Quote
“Please be informed that PHILWIN is NEITHER a PAGCOR licensed NOR an accredited online/remote gaming platform/service provider. For more details, please refer to the list of accredited service providers and approved gaming platforms in the PAGCOR.

Before playing people should first check if they are granted a license by Pagcor because there is a high risk that these illegal casinos will scam people and they are not paying taxes to the government.



There are lots of ordinary people who have fallen for this gambling game. Most of them were deceived and had a false hope because of these social media influencers' promotions. They have sold assets, borrowed money just to gamble because these influencers didn't even warn their viewers about the risks of gambling.
I think they should pay responsible for what happened to innocent victims who had false hopes because of their deceptions just because they want to earn through referral program. It's fine if we want to earn, that's normal but we have to make sure that we are ruining the lives of others in all that we do.
187  Economy / Economics / Re: What's the effect of having plenty children to the national economy of a country on: August 02, 2023, 10:27:02 PM
This is actually one lf the long time problem of the government. It is fine if we want to have plenty of children as it is our personal choice but if you are jobless or unable to provide the needs of your kids, better think of it twice.
If we aren't responsible enough to sustain having plenty of children, we might only end up blaming the government because of the povert that you're going through and your children will surely suffer. It is true that children are source of our happiness but it's a lifetime responsibility so we should be wise when it comes to decision making.
188  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: August 02, 2023, 10:08:17 PM
Demo mode can actually be used as a learning tool for novice gamblers, even though there are differences between demo mode and live mode gambling, most demo modes make it easier to get big wins as if it had been set to win gamblers so they can increase their confidence before trying the live mode and end up gambling in live mode never tasting a win except a losing streak.

But even so still in my opinion it will be considered gambling using fake money I believe demo mode is definitely useful for new users to test games and gambling to understand how it works even though there is a difference in luck between demo mode and live mode. but there is no difference, it's just that one uses fake money, the other is real money.  Cheesy

Demo account are a big waste of time as using them would only convince the newbie that gambling is an easy way to double your investment. It will convince them to start with big amount after sometime resulting in them losing the principal amount instantly when they play using a live account.

I would consider using a demo account as gambling although real money is not involved but because of easy scenarios being created to give an idea to a new member on how to play a particular game.
I agree with you on that,  demo account can't be taken as being real experience of the games as everything with demo is different from the original game and even the winning ratio,  and that is where most newbies get things wrong because their tend to believe that since they are successful using the demo accounts and winning some of the game, they think it same while playing the live casino games and at that, the always record disappointment since their hopes are mostly ditched since there is a big difference between a demo account and real casino account.
Totally different and we know that demo does involved not real money or funds on which it cant really be considered gambling at all but on the sense that you are doing literally a gambling game then this is what makes
this argument would be stirring up that kind of perspective but in general sense then it cant be considered gambling since you hadn't risk out something. Even if we do speak about some decisions in life which it is really considered to take up some risks or gamble for you to achieve or acquire something that you do plan. This is why its not only limited literally on gambling games but even on simple decisions in life that would be made on.
Demo games doesnt really give out that kind of emotional approach unlike when you do make use of real money and this is their main difference. You wont really be able to feel the thrill and excitement on the time that
you do gamble since you arent risking something like something valuable on which it would really be that understandable with that kind of set-up.

Demo games can only be the reason for more people to fall into gambling even without money which is a big risk because there are possible things that might happen in the end. We shouldn't get tempted to gamble if ever we can't afford it because once we do, we might only end up selling everything that we have or borrowing funds just to pursue it. Gambling shouldn't be done by people who aren't prepared financially and emotionally.
189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 02, 2023, 09:54:07 PM
No, the wager amount doesn't have snything to do with the outcomes of the gambling game. It might look like the lower we bet the lower chances of winning do we have but it could all be coincidence. We can't base things only on ur observation or in the outcome patterns but that really isn't the basis. Keep in mind that you can also have the worse result no matter how big your wagering amount is or vice versa. I don't think there's an accurate basis to think that our wagering amount could change the result.
190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 02, 2023, 12:43:14 PM
It's difficult to be in a situation like that, for example, if you know for yourself that the chances of your prediction happening are high, you will share it with people you don't know, imagine that you put a lot of effort into that analysis and then the majority will benefit, that's okay with me if you are close acquaintances but you don't know them, the result seems to be that I am the loser and they are the winners without difficulty. Undecided
And it is their right to do whatever they wanted since it is their strategy and their number combination so why care if they wanted to share or not?
this is the problem nowadays in people that they keep making problem those things that isn't really a problem at all lol.
and this is not a belief for me that person just dont wanna share His numbers thats it.

Any gambler has the right to keep their strategies and predictions in private. We don't have to force them to share it if aren't really comfortable sharing it. There are also gamblers who don't feel comfortable sharing their techniques or even their number combination as it is part of their mantras believing that it could affect their luck. It might sound weird but we only have to respect their choice of keeping it.
I don't really think it is appropriate to call them selfish or what because we all have our personal techniques and strategies and it is our personal choice whether to share it or not and it is not our obligation to share everything to others.
191  Economy / Gambling / Re: Some poker terminologies you may want to know on: August 01, 2023, 08:24:08 PM
I know Poker requires a lot of patience and a straight face to win. I also know without skills it is impossible to win a poker game. I never played the game but has be always fascinated by it. The reason being it is most shown card games in movies & series. I was not aware of so many terms being used to play this game. Looks like it will take time for me to understand this list. Anyways the list looks good and interesting.
You can actually still learn the terms and even play the game too it's not difficult the game of poker is very easy to play you can test the game on other online poker platforms there are many out there to learn it you might need a few days to know which cards are good and which ones bad cards in the game so you can win against other people, in the game of poker you need a little skill, the rest is also needed luck.

A good card is actually just a formality, the rest is playing bluffing which is the main thing used by poker players when opponents are afraid of losing and closing the game, that's why playing poker can win it easily using courage in playing is very important you don't have to be good at gambling and also understand about poker completely.

Been playing poker for quite a long time now but to be honest, I'm still surprised with some of the terminologies provided by Op. Another information has been added and I have realized that there are still a lot more to learn.
Truly, crypto gambling is too broad and if we'll seek eagerly and earnestly, we will be able to adopt and learn more things that we never thought we could still learn. I thought poker is just about strategy but hearing these terms have also made me realized that it's also an emotional game. We have to be strategic to read the emotions of our opponent which I think makes the game more exciting.
192  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you will never become rich on: July 30, 2023, 08:10:31 PM
No matter what our financial status is, we should never turn our back from our families. They are still our supporters when we're down. It's fine to help as long as we are still able to manage our finances well and we know how to put limitations. Helping out doesn't pull you away from reaching success. However, we shouldn't let them totally rely everything on us, we should still teach them how to grind and survive life in the long run.
Managing our finances and wise spending is necessary for us to have enough savings for the future which will also be needed for our financial growth. As much as possible, we must avoid pirchasing or buying our wants over our needs. Self-discipline is still necessary.
193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High gas fee for sending token is still a problem on: July 30, 2023, 07:41:21 PM
It's not good Ethereum gas fee high now.Ether chain used people next time didn't interested used this chain.I hope this problem solve soon.Small amount token didn't sent this network because highly gas fee.It's problem some days I noticed this.Ether chain network busy now. Transfer big problem now.I didn't sent ether chain my token,This is big fee for now.i wait when gas fee low.

They have been saying that they will have developments regarding this in the future but it's been years and their users still got the same struggle. This is why most users are now switching to other network which I think is also a good idea for them to be able to trade smaller coins with lower fees.
If Ether would still have the same issue, more users will surely choose to trade with other networks to save gas fees. We know the convenience that Ether could provide but we also want to save huge funds from gas fees. I know that they are already noticing this problem but wondering why they are having a hard time fixing this.
194  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Isa na namang Bitcoin negative publicity on: July 29, 2023, 09:02:01 PM
It is because you can't trace someone who buys drugs with bitcoin. So sad to say nagagamit talaga bitcoin in blackmarket and drug dealings.
Although hindi naman siya talaga bago sa ganyang description at pagkakilanlan ng bitcoin. Dahil matagal ng nagaganap yan bago pa man mapunta sa mainstream ang bitcoin.

Possible din an ganyan na rin ginagawa sa Pilipinas lalo't laganap n rin drugs dito.
Posible talaga at hindi natin maitatanggi na madaming ganyang case sa bansa natin at lagi pang nababalita sa TV. Yang negative na character ni Bitcoin di na yan mawawala kahit na ilang bull run pa ang dumaan, kumbaga nakatatak na yan.

Hindi naman talaga natin maikakaila na ginagamit sa black market at illegal activities ang Bitcoin kaya madalas may lumalabas na negative publicitiy tungkol dito. Very common na lalo na may mga scam activities sa bansa natin involving Bitcoin kaya nagkakaroon din ng misperception ang karamihan na scam nga raw ang Bitcoin.
Sa kabilang banda, hindi naman talaga Bitcoin ang may mali kung hindi ang paggamit ng marami dito sa maling paraan. Natatake advantage kasi nila ang anonymous transactions na naibibigay nito. Mabuti na lang at mulat na rin ang marami sa atin sa kung ano nga ba talaga ang Bitcoin.
195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How would you measure your success in Crypto currency on: July 29, 2023, 08:41:38 PM
I find it hard to measure my success in cryptocurrency, because I am still holding most of the cryptocurrency I've bought. Until I've sold them and converted to fiat, they are still unclosed trading deals for me. As usually, I have some positions where currently I am on a loss, and some where I am in nice profit. Since cryptocurrency is not my main source of income, and I happen to have crypto from bounties, airdrops and etc, meaning I have invested only time, but got crypto that has a value, I can say that I am successful with crypto.

Crypto won't work the way we want and we should always expect developments and improvements all the time as the technology continuously innovates. We should only learn how to adopt the changes and deal with it for us to be able to grab more opportunities that crypto could offer because if we will only stick to the traditional crypto methods, we will not grow as crypto users.
The innovations and developments aren'y negative things that we should fear off but rather opportunities that we have to learn and embrace. We should never get tired of learning as crypto has a lot to offer us only if we will be eager to enjoy all the opportunities that it could offer.
196  Economy / Economics / Re: What are some financial secrets that you know of? on: July 29, 2023, 08:06:34 PM
This is the most simple and 100% working method. And yes it's boring and need a lot of time.

I don't consider that method boring. Because making an investment decision is not boring, it requires calculation, checking all the risk measures, and trying to figure out how they can be minimized. After doing that, you will definitely be doing some research on when it will be the right time to pull out your investment and take home some profit, which is also one of the most important parts as the reason for investing is to make profit, and when your first investment has actually yielded a profit, one also still needs to study the market, either the stock market or the digital market, in order to know when it will be the right time to enter back and expect a fruitful harvest in the next harvest season. So the process of planning all of this doesn't look boring to me, as one will have to study and make some decisions that will contribute to the level of success they could possibly achieve.

I certainly agree. Investing on properties, assets etc isn't boring but challenging. You might feel bored in the beginning since you're still in the process of building up your investment and it will take time for you to generate the profit but it will all be worth it. It takes a lot of learnings, considering different factors, sacrificing your funds, controlling your urges to spend but everything will pay off if you'll be wise on where to invest your funds. You will only feel bored if you aren't confident with your investment but waiting for the right time of reaping is actually exciting especially if you've done series of studies and researches first before investing.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title on: July 29, 2023, 07:22:05 PM

13lbs is not so hard to achieve if Inoue wants it. I bet he will still win against Tank as long as he can still keep up with the speed and his power. But this is too optimistic that he will still be fast.


Inoue has an easier path compared to Crawford, as Spence is sure not going to allow that to happen. As we saw during their face-off, both boxers seemed to have trained well, evidenced by the shape of their bodies. Although Crawford is likely to win, he has to respect the power of Spence, as he did not become a champion and undefeated for no reason.

This fight is highly anticipated, and every boxing enthusiast has their own prediction and opinion. But no one knows how it will end; tomorrow, we will find out if the public is correct when Crawford wins.

They weren't really trash talking but were just talking and smiling during their faceoff, it seem rare to happen. I'm kind of expecting the fight to last up to 12 rounds already all because of these smiling faces.

I must say that they are a good match here though Inoue has really been building up a firm foundation of records n this field. It will be a huge challenge for Tapales but based on their face off, they seemed to be so prepared so I also guess that they could reach 12 rounds unless Inoue would show off his max strength.
Tapales seems too ready knowing that Inoue has great winning streaks. He should double his effort and give his best shot during this trainings so he will be able to counter the fast punches of Inoue. This is an exciting match and would be another opportunity for Tapales to build a good record if ever he'll bring Inoue down.
198  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Waiting patiently for the next bull run... on: July 28, 2023, 09:56:29 PM
Thats your opinion op. You have right to share but don't expect everyone will follow your statement. Although people has different mindset and most of wise people always recommend others to avoid memecoin. Bags of memecoin are available in market, create hype temporary and get vanished. Successfully established memecoin ratio is rare, yearly one memecoin, i guess and memecoins you mentioned aren’t supposed to be survive for long even till bull run. So better invest potential coins instead of wasting time with memecoins

Since the hype of meme coins, lots of new meme coins has existed but that doesn't mean that all of them would survive or even reach the success when the bull season approaches. It needs hype and manipulation just like what happened to some meme coins but if you seek assurance, better stick with potential coins with strong background and foundation.
Do not rely only on meme coins because they don't have a concrete assurance of surviving all the market conditions. Top coins will still be the best options where you can generate even a better profit when the bull season comes.
199  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: July 28, 2023, 09:38:20 PM
I want to know what's the experience on using loan money. Is there additional pressure on gameplay or just the same using regular money without an interest rate.

Being responsible with your finances is key, regardless of whether you borrow or not. If you decide to take out a loan and engage in gambling or other activities, always have a well-thought-out plan to ensure you can repay the loan. Whether you use the money for trading, casino visits, or necessities like food, remember that timely repayment is crucial to maintain financial stability and avoid unnecessary stress. It's wise to balance your entertainment and financial goals and never gamble with funds you cannot afford to pay back.
Borrowing is fine as long as you can pay for it but if you are going to borrow and fully depend on the possible income that you can get in gambling then that’s too risky since gambling profit is not guaranteed and you might lose the money you borrow so it’s not advisable. I’ve done this before and I lose the money fortunately, I still have the funds to repay my debt. I agree that being responsible is the key, this is gambling and you should gamble based on your financial capacity.

When borrowing for gambling, you have to make sure that you won't be expecting high wins before you're able to pay for it. You have to be ready for the possibilities and must have spare source of funds to pay for it because we all know the risks that gambling could give. We might have unexpected losses so we shouldn't rely on the result before being able to pay for it.
Being responsible when it comes to borrowing is necessary or else, we could face difficulties and consequences in the end. As much as possible, we must avoid borrowing for gambling and only gamble using the funds that we can afford to lose.
200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: July 28, 2023, 08:48:43 PM

Let's accept the fact that gambling is truly addicting and makes us crave for more because that's the mechanics of gambling, we risk something and then we gain or lose. As what I am always telling people, we should always gamble responsibly because it involves MONEY. Know your limits, set boundaries, and if possible try to budget your money and only set a certain amount of money for gambling.
The only way we can gamble responsibly is when we believe or have the data of our gambling expenditures at hand or make a provision of money for gambling, losing is paramount in gambling and whosoever that is gambling should know what is gambling for and also have in mind that gambling can be fail at any point in time without hesitation, so therefore budget in gambling is necessary expect that you want to be gambling addict before you can refutes having gambling budget, I have seen that many people is against having budget in gambling

It is important to have that allocation and make sure that you are strict in handling your finances. It's true that gambling is
addicted without the right control of both your money and emotions.

The chance of losing lots of money is something that you needed to avoid, and by having that particular amount of money to use for
this activity can lessen the chance getting addicted and regret after.

You should have that control at any moment of time when you are dealing with gambling, else it's dangerous for you to continue.

Even if you win huge sums of profit in gambling if you don't have the self control and discipline, you will still have huge losses in the end. You better know your limitations and be wise enough to know when to stop and when to continue.
Setting up enough budget for gambling and putting limitations would be a good way for you to manage your finances the smartest despite your gambling habit. Gambling really requires discipline and control since it is addictive. If we'll let our urges control us, we will end up losing everything we have.
