You said it right,  end users benefits a lot though  in terms of competitions all casino owners wants to have more gamblers to use their  services so they  will really try their  best to provide best options to promote and to convert  those visit as patrons to their platforms,  its really the integration of technology and how the developers created simplicity and easy to access interface for the best interests of all the gamblers all over the world,  no need to go and visit a physical offshore casino but in the safest place in your house you can play and gamble with your preferred games  you enjoy the most.
Right now there are almost no barriers to gamble, I still remember the days in which there was only one casino around me and I had to drive there for an hour before I could gamble at all, so as you may guess this was not something I could do very often as it was no convenient at all, however now you can gamble from your own room and you can do it as often as you might like, this has made gambling incredibly popular and I do not see this trend changing at any point.
The government has no full control in regards to the growing number of gambling sites which makes it easier and even has no restrictions for those who want to gamble. Even those below 18 years old can gamble now which is somewhat alarming in the sense that this would lead to something terrible and gambling addiction. What it hits now as we are in this internet era is the growing number of online games, even kids know how to gamble.

New technology brought us not only good things but also bad things. Many of us are encouraged to gamble due to big rewards and jackpot prizes unlike in the past. Gambling should not be taken seriously but instead, we should be a responsible gambler.
202  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is age a limitation in Bitcoin on: March 27, 2024, 09:44:30 PM
Hi there to all of you. One of the most amazing things I've noticed about Bitcoin is that it doesn't have an age requirement before using it or creating a wallet. In traditional banking, however, one must be 16 or older to open an account, unless they have assistance from a guide who helped them do so. Additionally, no matter how young you are, no one can question you about how you make money because no one keeps an eye on your wallet.
Indeed, nobody asks our age and nobody dares to know it. As long as our transaction flow is smooth, they don't care anything about us. Our problem is just how to register in an exchange platform that we use for buy/sell transactions when they require KYC verification as certainly it should be in the legal age. Using the other's identity would be an alternative but it was not highly recommended because that can be a reason for compromising the safety of our funds.

In the past days, age restriction is not a factor because KYC has not been implemented yet but now, that seems a discouraging issue to most as it already limits people to investment and eliminates the anonymity of the person.

Even when things go according to their plan and a gambler can recover the money they have lost, instead of thanking their good luck and stopping right there, what they do is to keep gambling, so it should be obvious to anyone that sooner rather than later that person will once again find themselves in that position, and next time they will not be so lucky, and in that case their losses could be quite high, as they may chase their losses until they run out of money, thinking that if they could recover their money once then it makes sense they could do it again as long as they could bet enough money.
Continuing today or continuing tomorrow is the same, you'll still lose anyway. The big problem here is as a gambler we have no control on ourselves, like we don't have a target of winning amount as that is the basis to when we will stop, the same goes with losses, if we target $1000 then after we lose all that we should stop, but if we still continue because we can't accept it happen to us then the problem will also continue, eventually we will lose everything and all our effort will just be put to waste.

All the California teams I bet against in my parlay are going to end up winning tonight unless the Kings blow it to the Mavericks. An absolutely disgraceful betting performance on my part. I guess there’s only one way to go from here.
California teams went 2-2 but if you pick all 4 away teams you win 4 legged parlay. There were no home court wins tonight; all the away teams won. Bucks disappointed me once more B-ucks S-ucks. I noticed some lucky bettors got 14X odds on the Lakers because the Bucks dominated the first quarter. Congrats to them.
Lakers came back from a 19 points deficit to beat the Bucks in OT. Reaves once again upset another top team in the East when he is leading the team. This man is clutch, he can excel when Lebron is out, LOL.. Can the Lakers still win in the playoffs without Bron? I mean, this team moves the ball well because they trust each other, no much dribbling done, they are passing the ball and find an open man.

This could be true.

205  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: End Goal or Keep HODLing? on: March 26, 2024, 09:47:20 PM
We hold Bitcoin because we believe that its price will increase more in the future. But don't get wrong with that assumption, although there is a chance to make another ATH, still can expect some corrections and price dip as well. If you really think that selling is somewhat of a good decision when it reaches high, why not? Holding doesn't be forever unless our goal is not to make money from it. But our goal is to generate money, then that is the thing we do during its peak like we have now. Some people are suggesting selling Bitcoin during ATH, maybe they just forget that nobody knows when. At least selling our Bitcoin at a high price is not regretting than missing the opportunity.

The fun was ruined... I thought Thurman was up and wants to be a champion again but unable to make it for this big fight would say that he is done in boxing. Pacman ruined him and now he is getting older and having a problem in coming back. Honestly, I don't know Tim Tszyu's opponent, I bet he is not popular, so this could be another fight cherry pick by his camp for a sure win.

of course I believe that  Tim Tszyu will win, so I voted for "Tim Tszyu by KO"..
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are crash games profitable??? on: March 26, 2024, 11:47:41 AM
Dude, the answer is very obvious. I'm assuming that by saying profitable you mean long term or consistent profit, right? Nope mate, it's never profitable for us because although the game is fun but there's a house edge on it, and we will never gonna win if a game has a house edge. This is for fun, you got lucky, cash out and enjoy, but once you come back, don't know if you are lucky again. The point is, the house edge is is on them not on ours, which means we are not profitable.
208  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do many people fail in trade? on: March 25, 2024, 10:00:13 PM
Quote from: Tipstar
Another thing the traders should have is a plan. Many of the traders do trade on emotions and gut feeling rather than having a proper plan to take profits or stop loss.
An example of myself when I first started leveraged trading, I put my bet on a coin and on my first time it hit it's higher point at 4 hours since I bought. I was so happy with that 20% profit that I invested both my principal and profit on the same coin at a larger leverage. I should have thought there ought to be a correction after a price jump but I did everything cause I didn't had a plan.
I guess is impatience that is making some traders not to succeed at the end of their trading because, if you trade when the price is high in the market, it will allow you to display some positive results from the market because that is the best season traders use to achieve profits.

 Many new traders always experience some challenges from their trading because they are not yet mature in the crypto trading and, once they are mature by achieved the knowledge of trading to achieve profits and remain in profits making will be possible for them.
In general, the lack of preparation is the main reason why a trader has failed in the wants to succeed in trading. Some people had just jumped into trading because of the influence of social media and even from friends, and I say this is a big mistake knowing that trading won't simply just work without proper preparation.

In fact, there is no easy money in trading far from what other people are thinking. Because if that is too easy, nobody will suffer losses and failure but success. That is why I have no wonder why a lot of people lose their money because, in the first place, they underestimate the volatility of the market. Most of us just start learning trading when have already suffered losses which is not a good practice, and I believe a lot of people are doing this.
209  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Invest Only In a Coin that Increase in Value in this Bull Run. on: March 25, 2024, 01:04:22 PM
Knowing which project will pump is not the hard thing to do but what makes people think it is difficult because they are impatient. Valuable coins don't get pumped too easily like hyped projects which makes impatient people ignore them instead, they choose scam projects from believing instant ROI which is truly impossible.

A smart investor doesn't just look at the appealing pump of the project but rather considers the use case of the project because this will their assurance that a particular project will soon pump and increase its value.
210  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Success is a meaningless word without failure. on: March 23, 2024, 03:16:24 PM
That's a profound take but yes that's it, success is built upon mountains of failure but I'd like to clarify something about this words because some people forget that it's not just failing over and over again that constitutes to a success, it also involves the fact that you should be learning something new when you're failing because if you keep failing over the same mistake, you're not destined for success. When it comes to trading, my advice is to try and make sure that you're not failing horribly and always find a way to learn but at the same time minimize your fails because failing on trade means losing money and you can't really lose such resource in this world. It's good if you do some practice in trading before trying yourself for the real one, no risk but you're learning a lot of things.
There are two things that a person reacts to when failing and committing mistakes;
 - take this as a positive note
 - take this as a negative note

If we say positive - it means that we use this as a reason to improve and level up our knowledge and skills.
But if we take this on a negative note - it means that trading is not for us and quit.

Failure seems not to look good and could really affect our mindset but if we are determined to reach our goal, we should take this as a motivating factor, not a negative one.
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stop gambling if you don’t have free time to do it on: March 23, 2024, 02:33:30 PM
I really don't think to stop gambling if we don't have free time is a good expression but rather be saying, stop gamble when you have a lot of free time.

It is important for a gambler to be responsible with their time and gamble according to their free time. Gamblers can choose to gamble at night or preferably on weekends where they have more free time. Because when gamblers cannot manage their time when gambling, it will disrupt their activities and make them unproductive and tend to play unwisely. If gamblers play according to their own desires, without considering the time - over time it can make them addicted to gambling and have difficulty controlling themselves.
I see some gamblers gamble during their break just to stress out their workload. while some gamble after their office hours. That is a good practice indeed but should this really matter a lot? Limiting time when gambling is a part of gambling responsibly because the more we gamble, the closer we catch to addiction. I think 1-2 hours per day or every other day is quite enough to satisfy our gambling habits. If we can continue doing this, the more we appreciate the benefits of gambling in our lives ( stress reliever). Whereas, falling into addiction is the most likely thing to happen when we exceed our time limit.
212  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you continue to trust Trust Wallet? on: March 23, 2024, 11:42:39 AM
TRUST could not easily given to something especially if we talk about security. I was not certain if those who say that Trust Wallet can't be trusted are true because many people are also using this wallet without any problem. Though I was not using this wallet always but as I checked on my account, I didn't see any suspicious activities which means that nobody bothered to access my wallet. Or maybe it was because the amount is small and hackers never think it was worth hacking.

I think my strategy is working well as I'd never put my coins in a single wallet as I split it to another's storage wallet.
213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 23, 2024, 07:41:15 AM
Pacers is where I was surprised the most or maybe because it's the only game I watched, they played so hard today and once Haliburton finds his rhythm, it will not be easy to stop him.
In his past 7 games, he only drills a three-point shot once or twice and today he got 4. Finally. He was shooting lights out during the All-Star event and after that, he was not the same Hali that can sink in any three at any position. Today, that changed and the defense was phenomenal. 4 steals and 3  blocks. Wow.

It was probably due to the adjustment he is making when Siakam was one of the go to guys. Yes he wasn't the same anymore when he comes back but that was before he suffered from injury, and some players like him needs some time to get his grove back and he showed that confidence in this game on the road. Let's see if he'll keep that consistency in the upcoming games, because if he'll play like that, I can expect that the Pacers will be winning most of their succeeding games and will ensure their playoffs ranking when the regular season ends.
214  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin proven many times holders won't regret on: March 23, 2024, 06:46:11 AM
I agree with you that no one loses by investing in Bitcoin and those who invest in Bitcoin. They are not disappointed in some cases it may take a little longer to get the profit. But no one is directly disappointed and his meaning is not lost at all. But if you invest at the right time, it is possible to make a lot of profit, because if you invest when the price of Bitcoin is going down, the number of profits is very high.
The value of Bitcoin just changes (up and down) but the amount we purchase (and hold) remains the same. Therefore, if we don't touch our Bitcoin, nothing happens. We only just lose if we sell them at a cheaper price compared to the buying price, and we only earn a profit by selling them high. That is how this investment works. Unfortunately, what is in the minds of some people (newbies) when they see a price decline and check their portfolio is in red, they start to panic.

Real investors don't take a move without a plan but passing investors don't have. This is why only real investors make money and are also the ones who are able to understand how things work out and why others are complaining.
215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 23, 2024, 06:01:59 AM
          -    With every mistake in trading, greed and having overconfidence do not disappear. This is what often harms traders. So we should learn to be satisfied with the profits we can get, not to wish for more than what we want.

Especially greed, it is always easy to get into the minds of traders; in fact, it is something that we must know the right formula to overcome before it can control us, so that in the end our capital investment is not destroyed.
Hmm, I think you missed something as we are talking about gambling here not trading. Or are you just citing that gambling is like trading?

Well, whether you are talking about trading or gambling, greediness has nothing it help us but terrible ends and major losses. We can prevent this from happening if we don't let our emotions burn out and think more more money. Greed is actually with us, but we try to control it as much as possible. Those people who have got influenced of greediness (too much greed) not just destroy their financial capabilities but also their good behavior.

The impact of greed is huge which can ruin everything we have in life.
216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: March 22, 2024, 10:16:10 PM
If the gambler has completely lost the value of money and control over himself, it is important to take urgent action.
It is a must but was too late late because they let this thing happen when we could prevent it in the first place. Once addiction is already there, that is hard to stop.

Quote
The first step is to seek help from a specialist in psychology or psychiatry to understand the causes of addiction. Next, you need to restrict access to money, for example, by asking your loved ones to control finances. It is also important to find an activity that will help distract you from gambling, for example, sports or creativity.

Do not hesitate to ask for help from relatives or professionals, because the health and well-being of the gambler is most important.
The process of healing addiction is quite longer than the time we got into that situation. That is why we should not let this thing happen to us because that ruins everything - relationships, money control, and behavior. It really needs proper guidance because he can't heal it alone but with some help.
That is why it must be clear to us the possible things that may happen to us upon gambling and the consequences of losing control of our gambling habit.
217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coins are advantageous to invest in now on: March 22, 2024, 08:22:14 PM
There are so many different types of coins nowadays, but I don't even know how I should choose anymore. Do you guys have any good advice?
Perhaps, you should do it for yourself as you can't rely on others to give you such a piece of good advice or even think that you easily jump what is in their mind without validating or doing some research. In the end, your final decision is very important, and that only happens if you have done the necessary research.

There are tons of coins in the market but just to give you some hints. Focus on the top 20 altcoins as they are potentially profitable rather than thinking of buying cheap coins. You may choose hype projects but must be careful with them because any minute they might turn to like another rugpull. Therefore, you should spend extra effort and decide with analysis. x
218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 22, 2024, 01:08:11 PM
Well, the Rockets have already won seven games in a row, which is unexpected. If they continue at this pace, they could take over either the Warriors or the Lakers in the standings. Obviously, it can only be possible if the Warriors or Lakers perform mediocrely in their remaining games.

It's really exciting to see which team gets the spot to play in the play-in tournament because the number of teams fighting to take over the spot are playing well in their last games. As of now, their games are more entertaining to watch than the top teams in both conferences since they have already secured their spot and now it is the last team to play in the playoffs moments. They're actually giving their best to push their chance to compete in the NBA playoffs this year, as most fans anticipated, I want to see the Houston Rockets getting their way into the NBA playoffs as well.

I think the Rockets getting to the playoffs is unlikely. Yes they are at the number 11, but with lack of experience they'll probably fall even if they get to the top 10..They have a good point guard but I'm not betting on this team to upset the proven teams that are struggling this season.  Let their win streak continue and see where it will take them, but in case they'll prove me wrong I would still be happy anyway, as long as the Warriors are in the play-in, I'll be fine.
219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 22, 2024, 08:24:02 AM
Surf on Twitter (X) and then find this video,
where a man makes a bet at the Roulette table using all his saved money.
It looks crazy and people warn him, but with that tension he gets his bet.
That's a crazy decision to use all your savings in gambling especially in Roulette since it's a luck based games. But this guy has a guts to bet all his savings, a total gambler indeed.
Yes it was a roulette game but he wasn't betting on numbers, he was just risking on the black or red which gives him 50% chance of winning. He was just lucky that's why he won, but the most interesting part here is he bet his life savings for 50/50 chances, it's crazy but not too crazy at all.


He was very lucky and won the Bet.
But this is very risky.
Fortunately he managed to do so. Because if the outcome is the worst he will probably regret his decision to bet all his money. In this case, it's worth it. But then, it's not a good attitude of a gambler because the rule is to only use what you can afford to lose, that being said it's better to gamble using a spare money and not your entire savings.

For sure, the words itself which is a "life savings", it's like you are betting your life on that game... your opportunity to enjoy that money in the future for the chance to double it... It's desperate way of betting so it's not advisable, but this guy succeeded, so he gone viral but it's still not something good to follow.
220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: March 21, 2024, 09:50:40 PM

But I don't see the ease in achieving all of that now as the approach to people's assets is complicated and almost impenetrable. People are now paying more attention to security and possible exploitations.
Because it was not really possible in gambling. Because there are no mathematical calculations that are made to get such close accurate winning numbers. In fact, in my country, many people are doing this but I haven't heard they win.

We need luck in winning the lottery unless someone from the inside manipulates the results. There are rumors that some high-ranking workers in the lottery pay someone to buy tickets and win but there is no strong evidence to convince people this is true. But we can feel this is true because just imagine that there are a lot of people buying lottery tickets for several years but winning nothing. Then how come a single person wins 14 times?
