One of the best ways for a student to save for future fortune is by going through investment, as an investment generates more profits. But it could be a little hard for someone who is not getting finances from family or relatives and that makes me a 0erfect example. As much as I love to invest, I find it difficult based on what I expressed above.

It is not necessarily so. Sure, if you are billionaire, you definitely should not sit on your money, and you should invest most of it in various assets and shares. But being a student, and not from a wealthy family, I think it's better for you to not play this games, the games rich folks are playing. The thing is, they can afford losing a million here and a million there, but, being in your position, you can't. For them losing a million may be like just a bump on the road, and for you it might be the end.

~ Nevertheless if you join in any contest always lower your expectation because even many people compliments you for a well done artwork, the decision is still on the judges and we know they have different taste on what artwork for them did stand out. Well, the winners are all great artists indeed.

That's right. People around me, in real life, often say "You gonna win this time! Your art is amazing!". But some of them don't even see the works by other contestants. Many people submit their entries in the very last day, and then it becomes clear that actually competition is tough. I take part almost in all Roobet art contests and when the thread is closed I always can spot couple of works that in my opinion have better chances than mine.

Well, the inflation in my country now is not extremely high but has already damaged the economy. The cost of living is increasing and does not seem to stop. Last week one of my friends lost his job after working in the same company for a decade. His life abruptly changed, putting him in a place where he could not support his family. If you were him, how would you survive this tough time ? As a friend, I am trying to help him as much as I can and meanwhile, I am planning to save more money to prepare for the unexpected challenges in my life. What about you ?

Saving money isn't something anyone can afford to do, especially having family to support. If you make enough money to buy textbooks and school uniform for your kids, you are a lucky parent, and your kids are lucky too. Education is the most important thing we can give to our children. I would suggest to invest in education in any circumstances rather than saving "for hard times". (Speaking from personal experience.)
1946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: April 23, 2023, 11:32:41 AM
~

major bookies will open such betting line under politics. but for now, only futuur has their betting lines on this subject. but once there are clear candidates, top bookies like stake and sportsbet will surely have their lineup as well.
do remember that US elections is like one of the major global political events, so the likelihood of showing up their betting lines in bookies is quite high.

Stake is accepting such bets already:



and Sportsbet.io is accepting them too:



Biden has the best bettors support on both sites, but it's not like 1.01 for him, it's 2.55 and 2.50 respectively. It means bettors overall don't think he's definitely going to win.

~
I would guess that someone who doesn't trust the election system of USA would not be happy anywhere else neither. It is true that postal is not a great way to handle if you do not trust the system because that looks like the weakest link to it all, because in place voting rarely gets any issues.

However, looking at that so far in history of USA both sides couldn't provided a single proof that it was rigged, I would guess that it should be fine. I do say that if you are worried it's rigged, find one case of proven to be rigged and you would be right. Right wing does say this a lot, like Trump vs Biden was a rigged one kept on being true, hell Trump won against Hillary and STILL said it was rigged, so it's a right win propaganda, nothing more. There is absolutely no proof of any rigging.

Yes, saying it's rigged, provide a solid proof, that's how it should be. It's not some Carnival Game, it's a US presidential election FFS!
1947  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: April 23, 2023, 10:50:03 AM
Yep, I think so too. There was time in 2018 when FUN token costed $0.19. And I'm not talking about the initial pump, $0.34 on the 1st of July 2017, I'm talking about the time more than a year later, when after dropping to $0.013 in November 2017 FUN token had risen to $0.19 in September 2018. Since FUN is not dead and has over $70 million trading volume, it can be somewhere around $0.20 in the future again. I'm not encouraging you to start investing in FUN token all your money, but investing a dollar or two, why not? Just for fun. Smiley
That's okay because I've invested in FUN tokens on Freebitco.in or on Binance. And the returns so far have been good and I'm still staking FUN tokens once a month. I'm also trying to add FUN tokens by buying them at the current price so that the returns I get can be even bigger and I can also have the opportunity to get a lot of WoF Grin

Yes, good strategy, as long as you don't invest more than can afford to lose. Spinning WoF is fun. I won this five Golden tickets once with just one spin. Did I win a Lambo with that? No. But I did win a good vibe  and also several minutes of contemplating what I would do with the money. Smiley Winning 5k sats is also nice, but somehow, although it's real money, not a pie in the sky, it doesn't give you that vibe.
1948  Economy / Economics / Re: What is your biggest obstacle to achieving financial freedom ? on: April 23, 2023, 09:47:46 AM
~ That's what I wanted to say, don't be dependent on others' support. If you feel lack of knowledge in the field that you are passionate about, use the internet to find the knowledge there. Although many courses require payment, there are free courses that can give you what you need. Just don't give up. Learn what you need. And you'll find a good job eventually and will be financially independent.

You need to be keen in finding the right information and yes there's always a way for free one you just need to be more resourceful, if you want to succeed you need to work it out even there are hardship and failures what matters is you are not giving up and you are really trying your best, we never know where success will come but the feeling of achieving it will be sweeter than anything else right?

Keep trying and keep experimenting. There's always the right way to follow and once you discover it, you'll be able to enhance it for good.

So, the biggest obstacle is not trying. The biggest obstacle is thinking that being financially dependent is your fate and you have to live with it. Today, when we have the internet around, this is never the case. Yes, it can take years of unsuccessful tires, but you will find what you are looking for eventually. If you don't have time, do it once in a week, but do it.
1949  Economy / Gambling / Re: FreeBitco.in-$200 FreeBTC⭐Win Lambo🔥0.2BTC DailyJackpot🏆$32,500 Wager Contest on: April 23, 2023, 09:16:03 AM
the winner indeed has very high chance of winning as he got 7021 tickets as compared to the total collected tickets - 24331. so he had about 29% of all the tickets.
Where did you get the 24331 from?
The total number of tickets was 1,865,694 and the chance of winning the lambo for him/her was only around 0.38%

As we can see, even with 7k tickets, the chance of winning was small. In Texas Hold'em if you are going all-in preflop with 72o, you have 12% chance of winning against pocket Aces. And people almost never call all-in preflop with 72o because they know they are going to lose. 

I'm wondering if the winner had thoughts like "Oh, I have 7021 tickets, I'm gonna win this one!". Hardly, right? It was an amazing surprise for them. It's good that there are places in the world like FreeBitco.in where you be surprised like that. Smiley
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll) on: April 22, 2023, 02:49:11 PM
Regarding making higher bets, I disagree. Yes, you would win more in the case of hitting a high multiplier, but it would take just a few lost bets to reach the amount you could afford to lose. Too short to be fun.
yep, if I use a bigger bet amount maybe I can't get a big multiplier because my budget is too small maybe it will run out faster not until the free spins

It is not necessarily so. I mean, some gamblers claim that they win in demo mode and with smaller bets, but once they switch to higher bets they stop winning. I disagree with them. Nor do we need to make a certain amount of bets to hit a good multiplier. We can hit it right away from the very first spin. But normally if your budget for the day is $5-$6 it's not advisable to make $2 bets.

I don't know for other providers but even if you have big balance like 300-400 dollars and you play with 1-2 dollars per bet in Play n Go you will see your money draining up the fastest compared to other slot providers.In my opinion as I have been playing them a lot and I mean a lot is that there you rarely win something with a big multiplier in the normal spins and you can only win big most of the times in the bonus round which comes as rarely as possible when you play with big bets.

Pragmatic Play on the other hand makes people a bit more happy because they for example in games like Gate of Olympus and other games with same mechanics can give you a really huge multiplier even in normal spins and that is why for me they are better.

Pragmatic Play is a great slot provider and I like many of their lots, Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess and Madame Destiny being among them. They are very professionally made and you feel good when spinning them, I agree. But slots by Play'n Go are equally good for me. They too have nice sounds and good animation. Take Wild Blood 2, for instance: I'm not in profit from playing this slot, but I enjoy playing it. Or Rise of Merlin, you can play with as little as $0.01 on it. It's almost like spinning in demo mode, only you can win something when hitting a big multiplier.

But I agree with your main point, if playing with 1-2 dollars per bet, a balance like 300-400 dollars wouldn't enough to have fun, in most cases.

I opened telegram today and saw that they gave out 20 free spins to the first 100 so I was one of the lucky ones. 😁
To get it, you must verify yourself or have been verified before. It's a very simple process 😁
You must set your currency as USDT.

I won 11.65 USDT from 20 free spins. But the most important thing is that it was fun and exciting as always 😁
Thank you Bitcasino 😃



Nice. Congrats! 11.65 USDT out of the blue is a reason to celebrate. I would brew a cup of good tea, and would be drinking it standing at the window and thinking "Life is good". Smiley

And I like that you value fun part even more than money. That's how it is for me, and it's nice to see that you are not alone. Smiley

~ If you are already done with doing your part and you see that AI is giving you a same advantages, possible that you will proceed and take that call and place your bet.

I think AI can be more accurate in predicting the outcomes of sport events than we humans. It just needs to take into account all the data that is relevant, and ignore misleading ones. It should be prompted properly, and for that you need some knowledge about sports betting. But then it will be very helpful. More helpful then our own analysis. I'm pretty sure pf it, and can't wait to start using an AI connected to the internet for predictions.

Using the data that are available I can agree to your statement that AI do have an advantage in analysing the possible outcome of the sport events, all the shared information will be sorted out to provide better analysis and with your knowledge about the game you'll be able to back up what AI are providing and decide on your next step after confirming it with your own analysis.

We need that confirmation form the external source. We are always like "am I right?", "am I wrong?", "what else didn't I took into account?". I'm positive that if AI will come up with the same conclusions about the outcomes, it is very likely that it will be just so. If it's a guy from your neighborhood, I wouldn't be so sure. Smiley Will AI eventually beat any human analyses? I don't know. But it will surely beat many of the so-called "experts".
1954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 22, 2023, 10:21:26 AM
I like the first rule. Every gambler should have a set amount used for gambling and should not go over that. It is a fixed budget and if you blow that, then you should rest.

So, the main consideration here is to switch slot machines whenever you are not winning on your current machine. But, it is slot, and the chances of winning will still be the same whether it is in your current machine or another one. I do not get the idea there. If I do not hit on a machine, I just quit and try again the next day. I consider it that I am not lucky that day and try if I am a bit luckier the next day.

Switching slot machines doesn't make any sense in regards to winning. It does make sense in regards to entertainment, though. If you are bored with one slot you can can switch to another, there are thousands of them, reliable slots you can play without fearing to be cheated. So, I understand people that change slot machines. I do it too. Even if you like a slot very much, you can't play it all the time. It's boring.
1955  Economy / Gambling / Re: Researching for Upcoming Game on: April 22, 2023, 09:43:43 AM
Right, choosing where to get info is very important. What I like about this forum is that if a misleading info will appear many people will react immediately with their replies. If it's an aggressive promotion of a scam, negative trust given to the poster can save people from believing it. I mean, it won't be just downvoted and forgotten, it will get a reaction.
We will know better and be able to prevent the scam from developing so that we can protect the people who are here to stay away from it and also help spread the news of the scam through our respective social media so that more people will find out about it. Scam promotion will not last long because once we know about it, we will criticize it and try to tell others about it. I think many people will like the response from all of us here with various kinds of positive and negative news because we can see what benefits us and harms us.

Yes, this place, bitcointalk, has a lot of experienced gamblers who are ready to share valuable info on online gambling.

~
- Aside from BitcoinTalk (this forum) where else do you get your news that you trust (which newsletters, sites, which Youtubers, any twitter accounts)?
~

I wouldn't try to get information regarding gambling sites anywhere else. I'm not saying they are lying on all other sites, but what I like about this place is that any a lie will be exposed here pretty quickly, while anywhere else, I don't know, it can take weeks, or, posts may be moderated, and lies can stay forever there.
1956  Economy / Gambling / Re: chinese bookmakers with tf gaming platform NO KYC on: April 22, 2023, 09:11:47 AM
Got curious about this, I think the Chinese government is really strict regarding gambling site and also offering it world wide. The no KYC is one of the things that people like, too bad I just read this topic and the URL seems not working anymore. It's really complicated to try out new gambling sites especially if it was created from other country and no KYC because today the no KYC policy is now somewhat to attract players and getting used by the scammers.

That's right. I'm not sure about the site in the OP, but scammers use "NO KYC" sign as often as unreal bonuses and stuff like that today. If you are not a high level criminal or corrupted official who want to launder millions of dirty USD you shouldn't be afraid of KYC. Don't be lured by shady sites, guys, only because they promise no KYC. Research further.

I never learn.....

I have always said, NEVER play after Stake has paid out a monthly or a weekly, because the RTP are f#%%ed after they paid out bonuses. They do not wait to put Stake in feeding mode, it is done immediately after the payouts has been done.

So, today.. I claimed it and jumped into a Slot hunt and I paid back my full monthly back to Stake.  Angry  In any way...... I did 759 bets on one Slot and it did not give the Free Spins once...  Roll Eyes

Sorry for your loss, mate, but I think it was a coincidence. From what I know they are not watching you on the reputable gambling sites like Stake. You can win big one time, and then win big again right away. No one is turning on a "suction mode" after you win a big amount or get bonuses or something. And I'm talking about in-house games. Site has no control over games by third-party providers.

No.. for sure, the "feeding" mode is possibly on the in-house Stake original games, but you can test it for yourself. Do some DICE wagering before and after a Weekly has been paid.. and see how much more money it is costing you to wager than normal.

I do think Stake has some options to chose from with some 3rd party Slot games ..like Hacksaw Games... but it will be too much hassles to do that very regularly. (they give multiple RTP options for casinos to chose from)  Wink

No, no, that's what I'm talking about: no "feeding mode" in in-house slots either. As I said, sites of the level of Stake don't do that, they don't keep track of your winnings and losses, and they don't adjust your future performance accordingly. Everything is completely random. That's the point.
1960  Economy / Gambling / Re: What else should an established crypto casino add? on: April 19, 2023, 08:12:44 AM
I see the same casino games - dice, plinko, tower, limbo .......... Would you like to try adding a game like 2048 where you have to move squares.   Now that would be the newest thing in the gambling industry

This is a skill-based game, as far as I know, and probably that's why it is not implemented by existing gambling sites. I mean, there's a winning strategy for 2048 on wikiHow:

It might be interesting to add this type of game of skill but the casinos never seem to add it and so far I haven't encountered this type of game on any of the gambling sites I've used either.
We don't know the exact reason why the casinos didn't add 2048 but what is clear is that if this type of game was in the casinos favor then most casinos would have added it a long time ago.
I myself don't really like skill-based games because it only makes me bored and adds to my thoughts when playing.

Online casinos are not like some dictatorship states where you are forced to subscribe to propaganda newspapers, watch propaganda movies and buy tickets of the state lottery. It's a free world, where gamblers choose what games to play and no one is forcing them play games they don't like. So, what's the point of adding a game that no one would play?
