You have done it all and I must that you have all the experience when it comes to sports betting. On my part, I must say that I stick to my betting before the actual match, I rarely bet on live matches and I entirely avoid the virtue matches to avoid fooling myself. I resolved to do this based on my experience and smartness after carefully studying how sports betting works, and I believe that it is the reason why I have a happier betting experience than an average person.

Virtual matches have their flaws and they are discouraging to me, while live betting could alter one's psychology since you are being moved by the moment and live happenings. I don't think the smartest decisions can always be made in that condition. Enough mistakes could be made through this, so I avoid it as I do not like to bet under tension, especially when the initial bets have already been lost. But betting before the actual match gives me the benefits of calmness and not of sentiment based on what I currently see. I speculate with a lot of criteria, so it is actually what I wanted to do that I do. Thankfully, it often works for me even as I manage by bettings and accounts rightly.

It all goes hand-in-hand, the risk and the reward attached to it, the house is not foolish, they know how to permutate and combinate it together so that the tough choices would be presented to you in the form of the odds and the risk involved so that you are confused. But this should not still cause issues as, I for one, will never go for the risk that is too high and not feasible to win, especially in football. I know how I play my thing and avoid most games if necessary when the choice is attached to too many risks. At the same time, it is not that bad, the risk could be well-sized and many of them are fairly concluded in a way that will be good for the gambler and the house.

After all, it risks we are taking as we gamble, we should learn how to take them, but reasonably, and when it is too high and unreasonable for us, it is not a must that we go for that betting, we can skip to the next one or wait till a fair and more reasonable one is presented to us. It is the house that is calling the shot, but we are also not forced, so let us make a carefully weighed and correct decisions.

Welcome to the party, we have said these times without numbers that it will not work at all, gambling is to engage more than that before the gambler is healed, and if one had locked the money, another money that is available later will be used to continue the gambling. This can't exclude anything but help the gambler to keep his money somewhere for a specific period of time. There are many investments we make that will lock our money for even more than 21 days, some 90 days, some 6 months, and some a year and even more. Will that stop a bettor or an addict in gambling to stop gambling?

Who knows, due to the fact that the money was locked and deprived the gambler of the chance to bet, maybe he will not repeat it again, but instead commit the money, after the 21 days have lapsed, to betting and wasted it including the profit initially gained. I think what the OP is suggesting is never the solution here and will never hold water. The solution is psychology and that is how the bettor should approach it. Building self-control and discipline and having the determination in what you want to do will go a long way over that recommendation. It will be nice for the gambler to work on his willpower, in addition, and always being cautious of gambling controlling power to be able to gamble when he feels like it and avoid it when he doesn't want to gamble.

Next time post this kind of a topic in the Scam Accusation section of the forum.

You should have pursued it with care, after all, it is not only Rollbit that offers gambling, you should have moved on to another casino when they were not acting professionally before opening another account with them, not to mention that you didn't know that you were committing an infraction by that. Ban or not, I do not think that Rollbit will condone double accounts to avoid cheating. This is a well-known rule in casinos, but still, casinos should treat cases like this differently to investigate the cause so that they can ascertain the threat to the company. And if there is no threat, I do not think it is a good idea to still have the account locked.

They may only advise you upon investigation to use only one account and select the one you prefer to be using so that they can delete the second account. But because of their selfishness, they will not do that. This is one bad thing in many casinos, they are doing anyhow and will always be proving a point that is not fair. Some people would fall victim due to ignorance, but it is morally right that the casino be reasonable about this. Nevertheless, I do not see a reason why casinos shouldn't give back the money of the customer if they are parting ways with them. I see the refusal to hand you back your money as stealing. Or did they give you back the money?

Don't get this wrong, I do not think the government can be so dumb as to say Bitcoin is not money when they know it is an asset, a tradeable one for that matter, you may only misquote them. Except that they fear Bitcoin is not supported by any physical asset, but they are wrong there as people's money is enough to support it.

You have a good point here, most of these casinos are just overbearing, and the Curacao license is not that strong to warrant what they are trying to pretend. Still, they should be prepared in case they are the subject of investigation one way or another. And this time, cryptocurrency will not save them as they must reveal all their financial flows crypto or not.

This is because regulation of crypto usage is still weak, with time, cryptocurrency users will be more accountable, and the time is near. No casinos will be able to operate over time as if they are not in the world bound by any law. For those casinos that are operating in sane environments, they have to be more accountable due to regulations and internal inventigations. You are not an insider, a lot is there for them to be answerable to as government officials and law enforcers will always be on their neck.

This situation has the mixed feelings from me and I do think that it will be so unfair to crucify Rollbit in this case. You will have to let go because they have the upper hand over you as you broke their terms and conditions clearly if you registered as a UK citizen and tried to verify with the UK's documents.

This is why you should be smarter next time and at least read the terms and conditions of your casino, and if you do not understand, ask the support staff. This is another warning to those who believe that it is later they have to do the KYC, most will argue with me but your case is another good reason they should think otherwise. After all, it would have revealed that to you even before you deposited a dime to the casino.

As it is, you are guilty my friend, unless you are not just thorough in your narration. If I read you and the image you posted correctly, you are also in the plus, which means you are a threat as some casinos often focus their beam on those who are winning and find ways to eject them. Just move on bro, you are a good gambler, look for the casinos that will allow your country of birth and residence, and you will be just fine.

You are the only one that I read who posted the right advice here, since it is possible to change the username, why are people confusing the OP? I took my time to read this thread since it started with insane advice that the OP should open another account and go through the stress of the new account registration.

To make matters worse, most of those who replied to the OP said the same thing neglecting the fact that the account is not new and has some opportunities/privileges to have some activities and merits that the new account can't provide immediately. Theymos often help people change it, at least the OP will try. But I further advise that he can first continue with the same username and get active and established again on the forum before requesting such.

If I have that kind of money I will resolve to invest only 30% in Bitcoin, no temptation or persuasion can make it more than that. The real money is in altcoins, no doubt about that, and if Bitcoin moves 3 times its current size, then it has done so much in the coming bull run. The size of the coin is large and it is discouraging, not also this time it is now being interested in by institutional investors, it will behave better and more responsibly than before, just like other mature/old assets/markets in the financial market. Nonetheless, this will not stop it from spiking higher, only that the effect will not be as before.

For this, Bitcoin will not move higher as many people expect, they will surely be disappointed. And when the market is trigging a bullish momentum again in the coming months, you will be surprised how speculators will start calling dangerous and insane levels like $250,000, and $350,000 to be hit. While some will even call $1M for it. Those are so crazy, that I do not think that Bitcoin will reach them, in the best of its bullish stretches, I do not think it can move higher than $150,000 in the next bull ruin. I will continue to monitor the situation and trade/invest it accordingly. There is no way it will not be undermined and since altcoins are still low in size, many investors that want to maximize their profits will surely opt for them and make money as much as posisble.

Bro, you are entitled to all your opinions, but at times, we should be more human and be insensitive.

What I see you doing here is so insensitive. Fine, you and the guy could have had one or two issues together, but it is just a forum where we share opinions, and nothing more. We could be trolled at times or even get so angry but it shouldn't be unto death. This person is dying and what you could do is to be engaging in all sorts like this? It is certainly not fair.

The best you could have done is to just ignore the thread if you still hold a grudge against him. Let's be human for once.

This is a nice and thoughtful topic but it is best with Bitcoin Discussion or Economic section. You might want to contact moderators to help you move it to the appropriate section of teh forum.

This is not a bad thing to do, after all, it will increase the chance of success of the person. I even have some projects I should have embarked upon starting last year, but because of the investment opportunity coming from cryptocurrency, I paused. I believe this will help me faster if I invest more money in cryptocurrency, and is not new to people as well.

But I will never live a nonsense kind of life because of Bitcoin and others. What if it fails?

Of course, more money committed to investment means more money to be gained from it, which is why people deprive themselves temporarily and also hope it works as planned.

Yes, I have seen and that includes me, but not to the level of living like a pauper in the name of crypto investment. I follow the rule of investment that advice to invest only the money you can afford to lose. Though I do more as I have enough in crypto, but it is not affecting my living negatively whatsoever.

Even the way Bitcoin moved due to the ETF saga, it wasn't expected and uncalled for, it was just fortunate that the ETF fillings met with the bullish mood that quickly triggered FOMO in the market. This is mainly because Bitcoin and other coins were already at their low levels and could accommodate more purchases even before halving whose mood and expectations were already alive in the market, and this triggered more FOMO in the market, and surprisingly, we were about to hit almost $50,000 within a short period of time. For this, I attributed more of what happened to the pre-halving market mood but it ( ETF) was too hyped which is why we are experiencing what is happening in the cryptocurrency market now.

Bitcoin started falling on the very day of the ETF approval, but later moved higher the next day and hit above $49,000, but has afterwards been falling. It is only the halving effect that will save the day, it could be the time it is close to the halving or after the halving time. Altcoins will surely sell much as we see now before buying, so we should plan or investment carefully and rightly this time.

You have said it well and the concluded part where halving will push the price of the market higher is a very good one, so any which way the ETF drive the market, the halving will pick it from there to resuscitate the coin. The ETF was too pricy in its effect with Bitcoin and it was not nice at all when the approval eventually came and Bitcoin was seen selling. The selling continues all the same, but it would have been worse if the ETF fillings were rejected, maybe Bitcoin would have hit $35,000 or lower this time. As it is now, I hope that the market can stabilise at a support level. It has hit my first support at $40,243. The market reached the level yesterday and rebounded sharply to above $41,000 immediately after hitting the level, but has moved lower again after a while.

The level and $40,000 psychology level will be the market determinants for now, and if the two are successfully breached low, Bitcoin can continue to sell massively downwards. But in all, this is the pre-having effect we are seeing, the halving will come and the post-halving effect might be quite opposite to this in such a way that Bitcoin will be spiking higher so much in the short time possible. But I hope everything goes well with no disappointment happening, especially due to the manner in which halving itself is being hyped by people. If it moves higher but at a point ceases and creates a bearish pattern, the market might backfire on the plan of people.

That means you are not a good trader yet, any trading time/duration is good for trading, it only depends on the kind of trader we are talking about and the time they have for trading at any point in time. As for me, there is no trading style that is not fitting and none of them that I have not traded before, be it swing, day trading, scalping, or the long, medium and long-term trading, I have worked them through. However, in my trading experience, the less time the strategy is, the more tasking it is and the more risky it is, though more money could be made if you are good at it, yet it can't be exonerated from the higher risk involved.

Going by that the longer-term is less tasking and it depends on how good the trader is in it which will determine the risk involved as well. Having expressed that, day trading is a type of trading that has a lot of trading approaches in it. We have a whole 24 hours in a day, so if scalping and somewhat hourly trading are removed from it, the other day trading styles can't be that risky and tasking as you said. All you need to do is follow the daily trend of the market, and then you open your trade and leave the market to do the rest for you. At times, I analyze once a day and when I open the trade, it could last for several hours or even days depending on the strength of the signal and trend. It is not about buying and selling and closing the trade many times daily alone, you might day-trade and open just a position for the day. So it depends on what you understand in this regard and how good you are at it.

With my trading experience and exposure about people, I realised that knowing how to spot the trade through the various means available is not the reason for the failure of traders, this could be gotten easily, but the way they ignored several other important things that could have helped them to put the pieces together for their trading success. Many will be looking for a trading strategy that will earn them 100% winning, but this is not possible, and with a trading system of just 50%, if properly managed, the trader can still be successful in trading. Therefore, instead of learning the right plans and systems together, they are busy learning trading strategies and continue to style-drift which is not good for progressive traders.

Good, finding the right trading strategy is a nice idea, but the irony is that most traders already have it, only that they are not patient with the one(s) they have or are not using the strategies correctly. If a good strategy is achieved, what is needed in addition is for the trader to work on good money and risk management to be used with it. This is key to the success of traders and it is what the trader will blend with a good strategy to form a working trading system. After which good psychology must be enforced and practised, but it will take time as determination and discipline are also needed in this aspect. It takes a whole lot of practice on self-control to be able to actualize this.

Your predictions for 2024 and 2025 are still very reasonable unlike how many would be calling figures as if Bitcoin is one asset that will always move higher without any factors that will make it be accountable. For it to have been on the frontline in the financial now, there would be a limit to what it could do, not like before. Aside from that, I know that with the next halving which all are expecting now, Bitcoin could reach $100,000 and higher, so your $132,000 in 2025 is still very realistic and it is very possible that Bitcoin can get to that level (give or take) which is still very reasonable to me as well in all sense of reasoning as the FOMO coming next will be so strong and will continue to attract buyers for at least a year. After the buying of the coin for that long and the creation of another ATH, Bitcoin will slip back into its bearish cycle and we might be seeing it go towards $40,000 or lower within a few years before it starts buying again and the cycle goes on like that.

Everyone in the world is feeling the heat now, the inflation of the last 2 years was so severe to the point that it might take some countries several decades to recover, while some will never recover at all. However, in this current dispensation, everyone should be smart, no one should complain, and we should take responsibility and become finanilally free. No more procrastination, no more staying in a fixed spot, and if it is your environment causing issues for you, change it, after all, it is not by force you are at a place.

Say no to a single job/work, there must be multiple of them, we all need more than one source of income and we must take responsibility when we still have the strength to do it at our age. The financial flow must be nice and encouraging without any discouragement, and if you are still the type that is having a savings problem, well, that means you still have an income problem, then you should not stop there but continue to look for the available means to make more money. If you cannot save weekly or monthly uninterruptedly after paying all your bills, then you should still not be comfortable at the level you are. Or else, you might die struggling for the rest of your life or remain ever poor, which is pathetic.

People are too lousy these days with the remark that "fiat will fail," but how? Will they now be using your currency? It's time that people should reason and not just say something. If you say that the USD will fail, you might still have a point, and even at that, I mean fail as the world reserve currency. But saying the entire fiat will fail is just an aberration, it will not be possible. Okay, if fiat fails, will it be Bitcoin the world will turn to? That is not a wise thought, no country will want a decentralised asset as their only currency/legal tender. It is not only dangerous for security but also for their economy. As many would always say Bitcoin should be the world reserve currency, but in reality, Bitcoin can't fit in properly due to its characteristics, even the 21 million circulation restriction is a problem itself for it. If at all the world is trying to revolutionise, they will go for the CBDC which is still not what many of you would think. Each country would have its own and not that they will work with Bitcoin or the existing cryptocurrency that they can't control. They will make theirs centralized, and the world might then want to have the general one in place of the USD with time.

I don't think Satoshi Nakamoto will make him/their self available about anything Bitcoin again, he/they have done what he/they needed to do, and nothing else should be expected of him/them again. If he/they had wanted to influence Bitcoin further, he/they would have done enough to the issues that caused the high fees, but since he/they have done his/their part and left the rest to everyone to decide, he/they would not do such a thing again.

However, nothing is impossible, but if he/they did that, that would be the beginning of the scalability of Bitcoin, once the core structure is altered, anything else could be altered. I believe Satoshi Nakamoto enforced the limit to help Bitcoin scarcity when the time comes which will still make it rice in price due to less supply. Though it is a huge issue for the coin itself, time will tell on this, but still, it has been done, I believe Satoshi Nakamoto will leave it be that way.

This kind of belief can only be spat out by critics and those who do not have an understanding of Bitcoin.

Bro, I think you will have to personalise this at this time because what is working for you might not be working for others, and what is working against you might not be working against others. Maybe next time, you should completely zero your mind about the money involvement and bet with a small amount of money as well and also bet on your favourite games and let it be when you do not have any ill feelings about gambling or think that you want to make that big money from it. If you think you can fool yourself by not being sincere with your mindset about it, the result will always be what you are saying now, so it is only when you are really ready to let go of the money involved but embrace gambling as a means to get fun, then only can you understand what I am saying and even feel it as well.

Before I go, there will always be controversy about this and some will never agree with it since their mindset about gambling and this particular ideology is wrong. So they should rather blame themselves for being hurt and not having fun and not others' styles. I can even remember when my wife was playing a game on her phone, we were there for about 2 hours at night not even knowing that time had really been far spent. She lost and gained at different times but we had the fun eventually as we were dragging the decisions to make by ourselves. A month has passed now, and she has not opened the gambling app. This is because it is nothing to her, she has a good job, so when she opens it, it is not the mindset of the money, but the fun. That is why losing is nothing to her not to mention my own style as well. Still counting and she may not open the app for months, this is the kind of mindset I am talking about, not the desperation kind of mindset.

We have to be vigilant in this situation but the saddest part is that no one will ever know for sure the shitprojects unless we are merely conservative in all our cryptocurrency dealings. We shouldn't be too forward but relax to see what the presales and the listing will look like, even some projects are too risky to commit the money into during the presales and immediately after listing them. It is all about being careful and conservative with them. There are categories of shitprojects, some are solely for scams, and others are not scams but since they didn't perform, the brains behind them will then outsmart people with their money.

Above all, the best projects to invest our money in are the ones that have spent at least months and are doing well. This might be needed for patience's sake because if it can survive after some initial times of struggling, then they have good project potential as they have survived the test of time, nothing could be worse than that. However, the die-hard community supporting the project equally matters. And yes, greed is part of it, that was why I mentioned being conservative. Many would want to rush in so that they are the first set of people in line to partake the most in the new project, but the risk is also much and if care is not taken, they will rather lose than gain more. But this has made some people to be rich as well, so it is not so foolish to be greedy in the things of investment.
