An approach would be interesting where the website would try to contact the user in order to understand the situation. If something is found, it would be interesting to freeze the account. I believe this way would be the most friendly way possible.

It's not happening in real scenario, casinos are operating without feelings, so they'll not suspect gamblers that are addicted or just wasting money. What they'll suspect if the gambler is cheating because it's taking their money, not when they are making money from the gamblers. The reason of the business is to generate money, they would love if we keep putting money and loss it, not the other way around.

Does anyone here on the forum have the courage to buy the VIP package to watch the fights? It costs 2 million dollars and gives you the right to meet the fighters and some other benefits... I thought this package was quite expensive, even if I had a lot of money left over I wouldn't have the courage to pay all that

https://www.cbssports.com/boxing/news/most-valuable-promotions-offering-2-million-vip-package-for-mike-tyson-vs-jake-paul/

It's expensive for some but for others who can afford and really like these fighters, they can pay $2 million for the VIP. After all, this is priceless because it gives us an entertainment and no one can measure the happiness we have. I'm not a millionaire, but if I am and I am huge fan of Mike Tyson, definitely I'm  willing to spend money for this.

Yeah, for sure coach Yeng feels that way knowing him in terms of being emotional they are fighting in the first half but lapses in the 2nd half and just allow TNT to dominates them and counter everything that they are trying to do, it's  a big adjusment that they need if they want to prolong the series, else, it's their final game if they'll lose again in their 2nd meet up.

Congrats kabayan! solid game night for Gin kings, Mags unable to find ways to counter ginebra's attack easy ML to you!

Thanks bro.

For tonight's game i will bet for TNT as i think the Tropang Giga will still beat the wards of coach Yeng Guiao even if the latter will make some adjustments. After tonight, the series will be over and the ML odds for TNT is attractive as the odds is even.

TNT ML @1.89 vs ROS

Good luck to us guys and bet wisely.

You are lucky you get that odds. I was able to bet on TNT but got the -4.5 spread for them. It's currently a close game, TNT is even trailing by 2 points entering the 4th quarter, but there's always a run in basketball, hopefully TNT will have a big run in the 4th quarter so they'll be able to cover the spread.

The missing link here is Oftana, he is pretty limited with single digit score only, I'm hoping for a big 4th quarter game, especially his 3 point shooting.
184  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is all wealth? on: May 11, 2024, 09:58:46 PM
The concept and feeling of happiness are different for each person. Some people need yachts to be happy, while others are happy creating things with little income. Money is a way to survive, but not all wealth. People can be rich or consider themselves rich in a completely different sense. We often see people who have a lot of money, but their money does not bring them joy. They spend it on stupid things, every time expecting something unusual, and every time they feel emptiness in their souls. Therefore, yes, a lot in life depends on money, but this is what is needed only for existence. Human joy can be received for free.
However, majority of us now only become happy and joyful if they have gained a lot of money. Although not actually the biggest wealth for us, but it’s always been the highest necessity. Let’s admit it that no one can survive without the need of money, or if they will survive, they are unhealthy and not on their best version.

But I also agree on you when you say money is not the only one needed for existence. We need love, affection, and security not to be harmed, but still money will always be a big part for our existence.
185  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to be wealthy you need action on: May 11, 2024, 09:12:46 PM
That's right, there are many tool categories on how to make an individual rich. And I also agree that trading is not the only tool that can be used to advance in life. Then entering trading has considerations that must be taken into account as well.

We also know that trading is not easy to learn or understand; it really takes time before we have a broad knowledge or idea about this source of income.
However, trading can also be considered as an additional job that can be relied upon as an option to make money apart from other jobs. Because daily trading or short-term trading is not much different from someone who opens a business in a traditional market, who generally also targets profits from the goods he has purchased. This means that trading in the market can be used as an additional job for people who want to make money in several ways and one of them is through trading, although it does require time and knowledge to be able to do this.
Yes trading is risky but is certainly able to provide us additional profits if you trade with sufficient knowledge and experience. Same with physical businesses that bring us more money if you manage it cautiously and with high passion and experience.

 However, if you are not inclined into trading and you have never developed interest in trading, then there’s always other investments or mental skills that will help you progress in life. You just need to take some risk for you to be able to gain something, as we don’t wait for good things to happen in our life but we chase and create an action to make it happen.
186  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Share your top mistakes in crypto - learning from others experiences! on: May 11, 2024, 08:36:57 PM
Buying and accumulating your desired coins are okay but I think we should not hold any coin so long that they go down forever and we miss the chance of making money from it. Everyone thinks that if they hold more they will earn more but I think holding should not be more than the time when the price is pumped to offer us profit.

Don't do what other people are doing because they have different minds than ours and also their reason behind their investment is not matching our goals. So do your own research and don't follow the strategies and investment plans of others as copying sometimes becomes hazardous for us.
Hodling forever is certainly an exaggeration. In fact, it’s even hard already to hold your coins even within a year or two due to the pressures cause by high volatility, so I don’t really believe that someone is capable to hold his coins forever without attempting to sell most especially when the coins hit their all time high.

However, you were right here, do your own research and not copy what others are doing. Each of us has different goals and plans with our investments so do what you think is right based from your own research and analysis.
187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: May 11, 2024, 01:22:08 PM
Inoue is a very good boxer but he is only a boxer.

I would agree with you on this because I already saw that Inoue isn't really that strong after he got knockdown in his recent fight. That's why Casimero now is creating noise in social media because he is very confident that he can beat Inoue, but I think Inoue also not taking chances as that means the end of his journey as an undefeated boxer, and you know, when a boxer is already defeated, he is not the same boxer anymore.

We don't know how long he'll keep fighting in Japan, but  Inoue if he will decide to move up, he must leave Japan and make US as his new home to gain more followers and popularity will rise together with the money he'll make every fight, this as long as he keeps winning.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: May 11, 2024, 01:08:47 PM
Oops...SMB loss to the DYIP by double digit, that's unbelievable...Now the next game will already be a do or die game for both teams. I'm surprise with the outcome, although I didn't watch the game but I was monitoring the score and see that DYIP was leading big time in every quarter, no quarter that SMB have won, and that's just amazing from a team that was rumored as a farm team.
Yeah, that was indeed unexpected. SMB was the number 1 team before the QF and they just loss to a team with lower ranking. Good thing they are on a twice to beat advantage, they only need to win one game to advance, but the same status with the DYIP as well, they need just one game to upset the SMB. I guess I'll wait for the betting odds in game 2, I'll take the handicap as for sure DYIP is still a heavy underdog.

But now we have the 2nd game, As expected, this is a close match up although Ginebra is already leading by 9 points, but I'm seeing this to be a close one as I believe Magnolia are not gonna give up easily.
It's not a close game like what you expected. Ginebra controlled and dominated the game, so Magnolia is now eliminated, they'll rest early, maybe go to boracay to enjoy.  Grin
189  Economy / Speculation / Re: LAST CHANCE TO BUY BITCOIN..... on: May 10, 2024, 09:59:30 PM
There will always be an opportunity for the people to buy and invest in bitcoin, because it's a volatile digital coin, and bitcoin is not being centralized, when we buy today and the market rises tomorrow, we can still see it coming down and after some time, others may have same opportunity if coming in to invest and also hold till the market rises for them to also make profits, this is how the trends continue to work and you could discover that people will always have interest on investing.
I would agree to that. Opportunities with bitcoin are never scarce. As long as you know how to analyze the  market movement, most especially the movement of bitcoin, you will always see good opportunities to enter the market and invest.

And the best opportunities do happen when the price of bitcoin is bearish or when there is current price correction that drops bitcoin price drastically. So there’s no way that the last chance to buy bitcoin is now, as we can always wait for bitcoin price to drop again and start purchasing a sufficient amount.
190  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest on your dependants if you too must grow further on: May 10, 2024, 09:35:49 PM
If you want to keep yourself successful, you should also make people around you self-reliant. Because it is not possible to maintain a good position by earning a single income in the family. Because it is difficult to manage a family with a single income in today's era.  If everyone in the family earns, then it is easy for everyone to maintain it. Also, if everyone around you is poor, if you alone are rich, it is not possible to maintain that wealth for long.
Yes, what you said is very true. If we want to continue to be successful, we must be able to make the people closest to us become more advanced and have good thoughts about finances. Because if you are the only one who is the backbone of income generation in a family then whatever wealth you have will not last long.

So, according to the title written by the OP, make your dependents an investment for the future. It's not just about money but also education and knowledge. Teach them to earn money, not give money because this will make them not develop and even tend to be lazy.
By making them more financially aware by teaching them to earn for themselves, and not just rely everything on you, you are developing them as productive earners that can build their financial success and independence in the future. With that, you are not the only one working to generate more money, but even theirselves as well as you can all work hand in hand to create progress and productivity when it comes to financial aspects. Two heads are better than one as they say.
191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 10, 2024, 07:30:20 AM
Mavericks! Strong! PJ Washington was in the zone. 7/11 in distance shots. +11 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 block. Damn! He and Timmy helped out for the Mavs offense.


He was the key for the win in that game... What I like about the Mavs now is that they are trusting everyone on the floor and most especially is their defense that have improve significantly. Irving used to be the main man who takes the ball most of the time, but he understand his role here and even if he isn't productive in points but he was still productive on the floor making his teammates better.

The roles players of the Mavs should play good especially outside shooting as Irving and Luka will likely be consistently get doubled in the series, making them less productive but with great shooting from his teammates, them as a team is very deadly.
192  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Nery For Undisputed 122lbs Title - May on: May 10, 2024, 06:30:30 AM
On these fans who want to witness Naoya Inoue to fight John Riel Casimero, I am one of you. However, it appears that this might never happen. Casimero's is being promoted by a small Japanese promoter called Treasure Boxing Promotion. This company is very small and it might not have the cashflow to bring a good offer for Inoue's team.


I don't think that's really of a big hindrance, it can be promoted by both parties to make the fight possible. I'm sure it's not hard to promote this fight as it has been hype for many years and surely selling tickets and PPV is not going to be a problem. Pretty sure the Japanese fans would want to see this as Casimero has been mocking their champion and they want him to pay the price, and that is by being defeated by Inoue. However, it will not happen as Inoue continues to neglect this big fight.
193  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Lack of capital or knowledge, which one is holding traders back from profits? on: May 09, 2024, 08:58:47 PM
I think both are causing different problems for different people.  No one can invest in trading due to lack of capital. Because if there is not enough capital, one cannot invest properly in trading. Again, many people have enough capital but due to lack of knowledge they face repeated losses in trading. Because many people assume that trading is easy in the beginning and they  They don't follow the rules. That's when they face loss. And I think the lack of knowledge is more noticeable in the case of loss in trading. If the capital is less, the amount of loss is not seen so much.

But still, I think it is much easier to learn trading with sufficient capital than having theoretical knowledge of trading and not being able to practice due to lack of money. And there is no guarantee that after receiving training, you will be able to trade profitably, since you will lack experience that money cannot buy.
Trading is less risky if you both have the knowledge and capital in the first place. Lacking one of it will only compromise the outcome of your trade, hence you’ll most likely to panic when bitcoin price goes the other way since you’re not fully equipped with the requirements needed before trading. Although knowledge is often most important as a starting tool, but trading with lack of money won’t still make you focus on winning your trade because it’s hard to maximize trading outcome when one is lacking.
194  Economy / Economics / Re: It's better to invest now than to regret it in a hospital bed. on: May 09, 2024, 08:33:07 PM
Investment is the largest and most convenient means of economic productivity, through which labor costs can be saved to a large extent. Again investing in cryptocurrencies is a smart thing to do to make this investment smart. And the most interesting of these cryptocurrencies is Bitcoin. Those who didn't invest in this Bitcoin a few days ago may be regretting it now. But this is also the right time and the opportunity to invest in Bitcoin is not yet gone.
Nowadays, many people are making investments as additional work to achieve more optimal income in the future and one of them is investing in Bitcoin. Because now Bitcoin is seen by many people as the best choice as an investment asset using the wallet facilities needed to store it well enough not to be lost. And now we can all see that Bitcoin is still at a fairly good price after the halving so there is a possibility that the potential price increase will continue to increase again this year.
I guess people have no choice actually but to invest in something they believe, otherwise life would be quite a struggle due to increasing rate of inflation. And one of those potential investments is bitcoin wherein volatility is high but it’s what makes an investor continue to get thrilled and excited. And with its current price these days, bitcoin still offers a good price to buy most especially for those who still wish to ride with its bull run happening soon. No need to invest a big amount, just do DCA consistently so you’ll still end up having a good amount of bitcoin when bull run comes.
195  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies...don't feel attacked by high rank members on: May 09, 2024, 03:37:24 PM
Definitely, most high-ranking members are always trying to be helpful and helping out is one important point of Bitcointalk.
Sometimes it might look a bit harsh, when mistakes are corrected but in general, the main point is always to have accurate information in the end and it's also helpful for Newbies to keep learning and established members are trying to do a good job here.
Being corrected is not bad it's part of a learning process.

And if you have question, please ask. There are no stupid questions if you are learning more about an issue in the end.  Smiley
The forum is a place to learn and educate one another, so it’s normal to see highly knowledgeable members correcting those false information that newbies thought are actually right. It should not be perceived as a negative trait towards higher rank members simply because they aren’t correcting for no reason, but they want to purposely correct those mistakes in order for newbies to gain the right information and stop spreading the lies and misleading information. That way, these newbies will definitely learn from their mistakes, and they’ll be more encouraged to do what is right so that they can also help educating their co-members as well in the near future.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?
Why I would want to do something like that? Talking about bitcoin in general is OK, but trying to influence someone else to invest in bitcoin will only bring you trouble, because if that person was not ready to invest or was not interested on the topic, and they lost money because of the advice you gave them, you can be sure you will be blamed for those losses, but even if they earned money this will be a problem, as now they will become dependent on your advice and they will look for you whenever they face a difficult situation.
That’s more of a hassle on your part, as they might see you as an expert and confront you every time they’re in trouble, when in reality there’s no such experts when it comes to predicting the future of bitcoin. However, another thing also why I don’t want to influence someone to invest in bitcoin because I know bitcoin itself will really test your patience, and it’s not everyone is patient enough to stay calm and relax while seeing bitcoin price continue to plummet.

Bitcoin is highly profitable compared to other crypto assets, but it’s not all the time that bitcoin will offer us profits,  there’s always its inevitable losses that sometimes are hard to accept most especially if we end up investing our lifetime savings.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Neymar being addicted to online poker on: May 06, 2024, 11:46:07 AM
I wouldn't call a guy caught playing poker an addict. Does he support his family - yes. Is he successful in life - yes. Does he have a lot of money - yes. What's the problem then, let the guy enjoy his game.

I agree on all points. And I also add that he is not forcing anyone to play poker or to gamble. He is just doing what he wants and can do as an adult. And people make him a monster that is addicted and gambles in front of a child during birthday, while each point of that accusation is false or arguable. If he would call others to gamble on a platform he gambles on, and uses his family or special day to add extra spicy in that ad, then it would be a different story.

That's his life, we have no right to accuse him, yes he is gambling but concluding that he is an addict is just unreasonable. I mean, he has the financial capability, can even spend millions easily as he have more his bank account which was earned from being a superstar in his sport. So a guy seen playing poker is already an addict? Maybe some thought he should not gambling since there was a special celebration, but like I mentioned, that's their life, they are the only ones who knows how they live, so as long as the family is happy, all this speculations would become baseless.

This fight is going to happen in the next few hours, just a heads up  Smiley.

For Philippine viewers, this can be watch for free via Top Rank's youtube channel and their facebook account, i don't know what other countries can view this fight live for free.

Thanks for reminding, I almost miss this one. well, I hope that there's a live streaming in facebook would be easier as today I'm mostly on my laptop so I can just do my job while watching the fight. The odds hasn't change though, Inoue is stil the heavy favorite to win but I'm be glad to see some upset here.

Have not bet on this fight as I'm not certain how far this fight will go, and Inoue has been quite smarter, so I can't expect to see an early knockout, unless Nery will force Inoue to go toe to toe with him.

BTW, below is the link for this fight. I hope it will play on your laptop.

Enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVZWeUsDTmI

Thanks but I am currently watching a facebook live now stream by top rank, this sure has no interruption as it's not an illegal stream.
Currently it's Moloney vs a Japanese is fighting and it seems like Moloney is struggling, so I wouldn't be surprise if he loss.

this is the link BTW : https://www.facebook.com/trboxing/videos/802918764682753

Maybe after this fight, it will be the main event (Inoue vs Nery). Anyone here bet on Nery?

It's Sunday, a day for Ginebra as it's expected that the fans will come.

On our first game, we have the TNT vs Magnolia,  both teams needs to win for positioning especially for TNT who loss on their last game. However, by saying that it doesn't mean that I'll be betting on them. I saw their weakness on the last game so I'm rooting for Magnolia here to win.

The betting spread are as follows.

TNT +1.5
Magolia -1.5

The 2nd game, it's NLEX vs Ginebra, and Ginebra is slightly favored by -3.5

TNT managed to win against Mags while NLEX upset the crowd favorite, it's really tough to bet even how careful you analyze the game and what's the capabilities and the advantages of each teams against their opponents, upset really happen, Not sure what happen with Ginebra seems that they can't make a good game play with that so very low scoring game, they can easily use the twin towers against the small line up of NLEX.
I was wrong picking the Magnolia but I was never wrong that TNT have some weakness, it's just that they played better this game and got the win. Better luck next time for me, I'm sure Magnolia are going to come back and we will have an exciting elimination games coming soon.

Berto exploded again with 25 points though he's known of doing that, a leader who really play tough games and loves the competition.

Congrats to whoever place a bet for NLEX money line sure thing that it deserves a celebration!

That was necessary because they were on a losing streak, they needed that win to gain confidence in the elimination round. I thought they'll win comfortably but they also have some weakness, Ginebra displayed their never say die attitude in the 4th quarter and almost completed a comeback win.
