Supposedly. But there will be times your plans won't be followed because of circumstances and unexpected events. This has something to do with saving,perhaps, and even investments. Let's say you are saving for a year and planned not to buy anything on that interval.But emergency occured and you have no other option but to use some of your savings to aid the situation. This is also possible with investments wherein an investor would be sometimes pushed to break plans and pull their investment out due to reasons such as seeing a more profitable investment, or just be needing money m, again through circumstances. Lucky are those who could fund other expenses than what is being used on investments because they won't need to break their investment plans to cover up other needs.
2022  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Let them make the choice of bitcoin on: March 10, 2023, 10:21:14 PM
It is absolutely wrong to convince someone to invest in bitcoin. Such obsessive actions will only alienate people who are interested in it.

I admit the option when you can tell others about btc. From the point of view of technology, opportunity and future prospects. That is, it is more of an educational activity, rather than agitation. Everyone must decide for himself whether to buy or not to buy bitcoin. Without extraneous pushing.

It's a very bad habits wanting to convince someone to venture into what they aren't prepared for all in the name of spreading the max adoption of bitcoin, actually I was touched when I witnessed all that happened between the two friends who tried convincing other to invest thinking he would made fortune out of it without knowing bitcoin price doesn't goes as one think of even planned.
We do understand that some people want to share the idea that investing to this industry has an advantage in the future simply because the market price is increasing over years but it is not as simple as that. There are risks involved and inviting them is also exposing them into that chance of them, losing money. Sharing is different from persuading and encouraging someone. I myself have experienced convincing a friend before but we ended up not talking to each other because she simply blamed me when she panicked on the decline with prices way back 2018. I did mention about partial or temporary and permanent loss such as selling would also cut the chance to earn profit and best thing is to just hold. But I understood her point eventually that not all people could endure seeing their loss. If you are determined to share the idea of this technology, make sure to fill them first with all necessary informations and also, check if they can really manage the risks of investing in this technology.
2023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free sports betting tip on: March 10, 2023, 02:44:09 PM
Experience does help in sports betting, but luck matters too which is why no amount of research can ensure wins frankly speaking. Parlays are my favorite type of bets, but I rarely win them for obvious reasons.

My suggestion to punters is to not blindly tail op's tips and invest only what you're willing to lose.
Experience would help you to decide for a winning bet but in sportsbetting, keep in mind that anything could happen in the ring whether it is square,rectangle or octagon, unless things are fixed. Anyone could talk big by saying they have been in this industry for years but if you really do, what's the need to announce it? For intentions of encouraging people to follow your betting strategies? The counterpart could even be the result simply because there are no proofs for your claim. Also, there are players who are playing for decades but are not announcing how long are they in this field. My guess is simply that experience won't be the bottomline to your bets. Luck is indeed playing its part.
2024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Biggest Win So Far at Fortune.st Casino on: March 10, 2023, 01:20:22 PM
inb4 they were also the one who lost the bet below. Congrats to him whoever they are though. Regardless of the amount of money they spent before hitting that big win, a big win is something to be happy with. I just hope they didn't spend it all back to gambling in the same session (if they were rich then well, doesn't really matter then). Rather curious what amount they bet with at what multiplier though, since if it was a big bet and a small multiplier then I guess it's something bound to happen. If it wasn't then damn that's really lucky (not familiar with the multiplier limits of Fortune so).
Players are well aware of this; winning does not occur on a daily basis and hitting a jackpot is already something to be remembered for a long time. Many players are ofcourse losing in a more consistent manner than winning. Beginner's luck is another story I guess but still related; they won't consistently win therefore, losses will still be the bottomline. Therefore, I think there's no need to emphasize that the winner OP have mentioned have lost that much of money before being on such instance and that is just fine as long as player's pocket could endure it. Will be always part of the game as we often say. They won't experience winning in the first place if they won't try and experience losing.
2025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Biggest Bonus is Casino History on: March 10, 2023, 01:04:59 PM
It seems to me that the best option would be to provide several free spins for registration to new users and subsequently a minimum bonus up to the size of the deposit would also be good, of course it doesn't sound so pretentious, but it can be real.

Free spins are the biggest flex. They give us a perspective of giving away something for free on daily basis.
This adds up because apart from the bonuses and giveaways, this is a great way to attract users on the site.
Freebitco.in has a daily free WoF spin which attracts many users on the site.
BC.GAME also has a daily free spin keeping the momentum of users on the site.
This simple yet attractive option should be a must on all gambling sites.
I agree with freespins but is now common with newly released gambling sites with roulettes and slots. Freespins before are the catchy ones to encourage new players in this industry. But nowadays, bonuses are in form of rebates and invite incentives. The biggest ones I encountered are during holiday seasons wherein I managed to get a thousand bucks for a total of invites and cashback in one platform, if I'm not mistaken. Haven't visit the site for a long time and I only engeged because of that bonus. Which I think implies for other platforms as well. Casinos won't afford giving consistent bonuses on a daily basis. Therefore bonuses alone won't be enough to make a player stay; other factors should be considered such as overall maintenance of the site concerning delays and lags.
2026  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: March 09, 2023, 11:02:56 PM

No bet is a waste bet won or lose. I said this because all the time we all predicted a lost bet we didn't see it as a waste.
https://m.forebet.com/en/football-tips-and-predictions-for-tomorrow
Most of my winning bets are from forebets, although some of their sports 🏀 predictions are not correct whenever I want to stick I pick about 4 or 5 games, and most times it works for me.
Please if you guys will allow me, from now onward I will be dropping daily 3 odds here on this thread, if you want to stick, stick with little amount.
Define what 'waste' is. If it is regarding financial, ofcourse losing bet is a waste of money but if you manage to enjoy the match perhaps, then it won't be. It depends on you purpose of betting. If you are into profit which characterizes most of us here in this industry, we are well aware that losing is a part of the game but is something we won't prefer; no one wants to lose on anything right?

Please if you guys will allow me, from now onward I will be dropping daily 3 odds here on this thread, if you want to stick, stick with little amount.


Why not there are guys who do this as long as you are transparent on your bets, you are actually helping some members who bet the same sports as you, by giving them another insight on the match, and you seem confident that your choices are good, because if not you'll not going to create this thread, but there should be a disclaimer that you will not be at fault and members should bet at their own risk.
Also, even if the purpose of this thread is to help fellow players for sure some would take an eye whether they could trust the odds to be provided by OP,by means of showing his previous bets or just analysis for the future bets/odds OP is talking about. I hope this thread is not to only promote the gambling site he's involved with.
2027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports arbitrage on: March 09, 2023, 10:40:49 PM
Sports arbitrage is basically when you make profit from matches regardless of the outcome of those matches just by taking advantage of odd difference between book makers. Odd difference on the other hand occur as a result of error in setting the odds by the bookmakers.
Sports arbitrage, also known as surebetting, involves placing bets on all possible outcomes of a sporting event across multiple bookmakers, in order to ensure a profit regardless of the outcome of the event. This is made possible by discrepancies in the odds offered by different bookmakers, which can occur due to factors such as differences in opinion, errors in calculation, or simply the volatility of the betting market.

Though sports arbitrage may seem like an easy way to make money, it is not without risks. The main risk comes from the possibility that one or more of the bookmakers may cancel or void the bet, potentially leading to a loss. And, sports arbitrage requires significant time and effort to find the right opportunities, and it may not be a sustainable long-term strategy.
Best explanation so far.
But what makes sports arbitrage an advantage and disadvantage is that; for pros it would generate profit most of the time because a bettor would be seeking for quantity of bets on odds possible. Downside on the other hand is that, if calculations won't be balanced, huge loss could be the result given that a bettor will have to bet on many platforms. I',d agree with some statements in this topic by other users such that this kind of betting strategy is for the rich ones simply bwcause they have the capability to extend their bets than their usual betting amount. Also, this is not something which would be effective 100%, as in contrast with its other name as "surebets".
2028  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you Bet on a Fight that is Scripted? on: March 09, 2023, 10:11:57 PM
If I qould be aware of who will be the winner, then that would be free money. The question is why? If I would be allowed to know who would be the winner, what is my assurance that others won't? 'coz if all bettors would know for sure no one would win, the gambling house won't allow that. Also, it is hard to trust hearsays so I guess it would still be better to just play the game. Those people who would be introducing fixed matchws has a tendency to sell you out, ofcourse they need a counterpart bettor in order for them to win. Unless there's this exclusivity with players to know the outcome and for some reason you are included on that group.
2029  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will accepting cryptocurrency as a payment be profitable for business? on: March 09, 2023, 02:48:35 PM
Service based companies would be more likely to do so in comparison with product based or sales industry. One reason is maintaining the quantity of items revolving in that particular company. In customer or sales industry, the need to restock or purchase new stocks are the reasons given that hesitation might take place in no other time to see how high the market price could it be  by which gave heat for this in general. Many small businesses for sure tried to do so but things turned out to be different from what they have expected. The idea as well of today, there were just problems regarding quantity of the tokens. The idea itself that it could be the risk. There'll be times that as an investor. it is hard to do so make a move at the present given that no trend line is obvoua
2030  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A remark on casino bonuses on: March 09, 2023, 02:16:06 PM
Enticing promo banners but tncs that make these promos largely useless and these tncs aren't obvious from looking at banners. Upon click they redirect you to login/registration page whereas I feel click on to banner should redirect user to that particular promo's tnc.
That is a part of their marketing strategy. Registering on the first place won't cost you an amount in an instant. It is to somehow 'chain' the new player into the platform without seeming to be doing som Once a player have created an amount and happened to like the promotions being offered, then that would be a win for the advertisement. Rather than to just display their promotions to udiences, they'd prefer engagement first. Just think of this; there are many gambling sites offering bonuses. If the amount your platform could offer at its maximum is still less than what others could offer, that would be an instant rejection from the target player. Unlikely of them to do so, once they created an account and happened to like other features to cope up with the disdvantage from promotions.
2031  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: which cryptocurrency do you prefer the most to accept payments in? on: March 08, 2023, 10:56:51 PM
Stablecoins I guess, if it is for payment purposes. It will save me from regrets for sure. Using ETH or BTC as a mode of payment would be somewhat frustrating especially whenever the market price is increasing. Unlike with stablecoins wherein the amount will more likely stay on a certain price point leaving things as is just like fiat but with less tax. I do admire advantages of volatility but for investment purposes alone. I still cannot think of a way an investor would be able to freely and without hesitation, use his assets to buy something in the market unless it is something which would be of a big transaction and price would be in favor on your end such as buying it for a lower price than it should be simply because of tendencies for a higher market value for the seller's end.
2032  Economy / Economics / Re: The cost of living is trying to kill the living on: March 08, 2023, 10:33:12 PM
We have no other choice but to adjust. Cost of daily living won't fall down if we would complain about it, unfortunately. The only thing we could do to continue living is to seek for a better job or adjust our expenses as much as possible.Waiting for things to be at ease won't mean nothing 'coz that is not how economies work.
the annoying part is that the government an it agencies are doing nothing or less about the cost control of goods and services in the state.
An this has created a torn in the lives of many as situations keeps on getting worse by the day.
Am wondering if it's same experience in other part of the world.
Don't think that the government is completely wrong while we also don't correct ourselves. The fact is that people who are able to survive are they don't give up, develop their skills and keep fighting, instead of complaining and then depending on the government system. In this case, the role of the government is definitely trying to give the best but we can't blame it if it fails. Because a corrupt government will always be in its own circle to continue to enrich itself.

You are right there, if we already know life is getting harder and harder, the government cannot help us. Why don't you save yourself but complain to others? That will only make people mock you more, don't think that anyone will sympathize with you. Inflation, crisis... that many people are still living well while we lament, we should take a look at ourselves.
This is how I view things but not with the extent that people will be mocking me because of how I look towards economic situation. I tend to complain but I also keep it to myself, while creating a solution and not complaining alone. In the first place we are all suffering from the situation. Sympathizing is a good thing. Wishing for a betterment for the next day is also a good thing. But to wait for things to be in favor on your end is a different thing, it'll cost you forever, trust me.
2033  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 08, 2023, 10:14:23 PM
Ofcourse, it won't be fulfilling to do so and may sometimes yield to regrets but that is how investment works. We have different circumstances as investors and there will just be times wherein you need to make adjustments to balance things out perhaps emergencies and such. No one wants to go in contrast with what's planned, 'coz you already have intentions in the first place. Not only in this industry but to all investment industries. Also, it won't be surprising to know that this instance is also frustrating at some points.
I think most of the people who stick with cryptocurrencies have been in this situation.  And those who know well about this will definitely not feel good after these experiences.
I have also faced this kind of situation several times, there was nothing to do, I had to withdraw lightly accumulated funds for long term investment.  And that strategy had to be taken again later. And the feeling of it is not good at all specially for this current situation of market And in 2021, this feeling was even worse. But I think if you want to use Bitcoin in all kinds of field, then you should keep some funds aside for it.
A change from one investment to another? Nothing wrong about it, you might be just wanting to lessen the risk and promote efficiency with your 'buckets'. The market itself is just unpredictable which somehow leads to confusion towards investors' decision whether to just stand still or to move some assets to other which could generate profit as well, if not bigger, atleast faster.
2034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling advertisements: A big trigger to gambling addiction. on: March 08, 2023, 03:38:55 PM
Well, the purpose of advertisement is to encourage people to engage into that certain thing being promoted. If it is gambling site, then obviously it is to attract plaers into their platform. But that should not mean that platforms are encouraging addiction; it depends on the individual. Gambling sites are just doing their thing; in the first place there are countries wherein such activity is legal. The activity itself is not the problem, but people with bad ideologies of how gambling works. Once a player is hooked up with the idea of being rich in quickest way possible, then that is where addiction would arise.

Adjustments should be done primarily with players and not to gambling sites or even land based casinos, alone. We have different industries and casinos are just making a living on their industry.
2035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling using chip in money? on: March 08, 2023, 02:58:29 PM
I’m still not experiencing it but sounds fun at the same time to share experience of winning and losing with your friend. Do you guys do it?
No, I have never bet with a friend's money, I know very well the risks when he says do a slot bet using my money and I know very well the feeling of a friend losing all the money in the bet, I watch youtube.be if it's true that Adin is playing with his friend, but his friend believes what Adin said, in my opinion it's just luck that they did in the slot bet.

How from the first Adin was unlucky in his direction to his friend, of course the story is different isn't it.

For that, to be honest, I don't want to do what Adin did, I'm happy if I win, losing is of course another story, I prefer my friends to risk on their own accord than me to be blamed.
Factor is guilt. Ofcourse it would be somehow fulfilling especially if you guys are winning but what if the other way around happen? Some people would say they're okay since agreement is present but what would matter is how each individual would feel on the inside.

Thoughts of "I should have bet with myself" "We could have won if we follow my bet".

Playing and betting alone will be better in my opinion; there'll be no regrets and will be easy to accept that you lose. Same thing with winning wherein you'd be more satisfied earning all of the amount possible than end up splitting wherein comparison with the efforts of winning bets could even take place. It is money we are talking about and greed will always take place.
2036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wrong Bets !!! on: March 08, 2023, 02:13:08 PM
A bit in a rush 'mate?
I honestly did not experience this thing in gambling but I somehow have a similar experience with sending funds; not checking the decimals. I ended up sending more than I supposed to which served me a lesson up until the present. The value in this industry is often with decimals so I made it a habit to always check the amount because my OC is really hitting me up so bad. But good thing it never happened again, atleast.

Reason I guess for such mistake is because we are not used with the values. Even with fiat which we use on a daily basis, we are making the same mistake so what more with currencies which are having a different market value, aside from just being negligent. Other mistakes are accidentally betting with multipliers, forgetting to bet before a match, misclicks, and the likes. Different scenarios but all would more likely result into unwanted outcome not unless it turn out in fvor on your end; a friend of mine accidentally bet on the opponent team and it happened that he made the right bet even if he was suppose to be betting on the counterpart.

2038  Economy / Gambling / Re: What if bitcointalk creates a casino review and ratings board for members. on: March 07, 2023, 11:26:06 PM
I feel like this request is not necessary. I mean already we have a dedicated Gambling section for all the gambling sites. The gambling sites have their own threads here, and it is managed by one of the site’s officials also. So if you want to read any queries or review about the site, you can directly check there and how the site officials responded to the feedback or query can be also seen there. Regarding ratings, usually people rate low, if the site seems to be fishy. You can easily do that in Scam Accusations Board with solid proofs. So as of now, I don’t see any important necessity for the request made by OP.
I agree with this --forum should be maintained neutral in any business since it is not moderated --it is not also moderated scam casino.
We know members here become biased in giving feedback especially if they are wearing the signature. It becomes full of spam just to promote the casinos they are joining from the signature campaign. So I think it is not necessary besides we have two leading review sites that have been here for how many years.
Also, this forum is not limited to gambling related activities and investments. This forum speaks for crypto related investments and projects in general. I also agree with what other users have mentioned that there should be a separate individuals to do that perhaps hired by gambling sites. Also, such thing would be possible if gambling platforms are under one association, perhaps, in order to have only one criteria for judging. Otherwise, things will just be biased as you've mentioned.

If this forum will be utilized, opinions will just be the basis for ratings. Some are well constructed but unfortunately, some are just because they are promoting a specific gambling site, therefore you won't get an accurate answer unless you would be engaging to each of their suggested platforms and see it for yourself, how well that platform is doing.
2039  Economy / Gambling / Re: I got frusted please help? on: March 07, 2023, 11:15:48 PM
First of all, you are gambling, so expect that you'd be needing bigger amount than the usual. In terms of withdrawal, yes there are gambling platforms allowing small amount to be withdrawn but with wagering and minimum deposit, that would be where you may encounter problems. Most of the gambling sites are just having that 'mininum' in order for the players to be allowed to play sometimes it is becaude of the transaction fees given that the house will get an amount to every transaction and if they won't imply a minimum amount, tand if the amount to withdraw is too small, it wont be enough for the fee and for the player to still get something from what they are wanting to withdraw, perhaps or deposit.

In terms of live and fair casino, there are many platforms to choose from. But the idea here is that, as a gambler you will not get profit without putting a decent amount. Things won't be always in favor of the players 'coz we are just using their platform, therefore adjustments should be made by us. The criteria OP have listed would be only met, somehow by small landbased casinos.
2040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: where the losed money goes? on: March 07, 2023, 10:56:45 PM
Ofcourse the house will get an amount from it either you lose or you win, that is how they are earning aside from withdrawal and deposit on their platform. With regards to some of your losses going to other's pocket, that is also a fact but to be more precised, it is being distributed to many players who simply won. Annd this is just how gambling works both in online gambling sites and land based casinos, there are just changes or differences with the actual process but the idea itself is there.

On my end, I have no problem with such. A gambling site is getting profit from players simply because it serves as players' payment from using the platform, more of like service fee. The profit will then be used to maintain the website and to accommodate more players and the rest will be for the owner and staff. Try to put yourself on their position, ofcourse you won't do things for free.
