2081  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Saves my relatives both of Life, Time and money on: July 18, 2022, 04:43:13 AM
I'm surprised, he didn't gamble the money he won? That's how things usually go. I highly doubt someone who was quite addicted to gambling would suddenly stop and realize that they need to save money, they'd probably straight up go to gambling again after the money has settled in. Additionally, I think the only problem here would've been if his money was manually transferred physically? I haven't tried it but I'm pretty sure there should be a possible process for you to transfer money from banks even if they're from different countries.
2082  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Largest exchange in Philippines to list SHIB !!! on: July 18, 2022, 01:08:07 AM
Kind of late? Or is Shib planning to do something to bring out its hype once again so coins decided to do this or something? I don't even know people who use coins.ph as their wallet, I myself use it to simply convert my crypto to fiat if I need it quickly enough (not that any custodial wallet should be considered). I doubt listing Shib would do anything, whether it be this exchange or any other exchange out there. Not to mention that coins may be the largest exchange in ph, but I don't think most people even use it as such.
2083  Economy / Gambling / Re: Good gambling tipster on: July 18, 2022, 12:30:06 AM
You DON'T look for tipsters on Youtube imo, that's just dumb. He doesn't even have many tips for you to watch, how can you even judge him as someone who knows how to beat sportsbooks (if possible, which I doubt), not to mention the number of views it has. If this channel was actually as good as you've said, then he should have way more views. I'd honestly just find a community for you to blend and join in and then find some tips from other players that you can converse, argue and debate. That would provide more insight imo.
2084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale Betting Strategy on BlackJack, how effective it is? on: July 17, 2022, 01:02:20 PM
Well, you're more likely to break even with it since you have some form of control or idea of knowing when you're about to lose or win, but profiting? Honestly, I don't even think it matters that much, Martingale isn't a strategy even for actually profiting, it's just for breaking even at most imo. So with that and the existence of house edge, no matter what the gambler would still lose out in the long run.

Quote
Here’s how it works. Say you started with a $5 bet and lost. You would then bet $10 on your next hand — and $20 on the next if you lost again. Eventually, after progressively making higher wagers, you are more likely to win, leaving you with a much higher payout than if you had bet a consistent amount.
This process is Martingale, but the end result is kinda different? Is the writer of the article even familiar with or knows how to use at the very least Martingale? You are NOT likely to win imo, chances always reset to 50/50, and as o_e_l_e_o said, the big win at the end would only ultimately cancel out the losses you needed to reach that win, it's not a profit that would be worth it imo.
2085  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Current Financial Market Condition on: July 16, 2022, 02:10:09 PM
Buy assets that would help your money be saved against inflation. And since we're on a Bitcoin forum, I'd naturally recommend buying Bitcoin. Better do it now while it's still relatively early and the effects are still rather minor. The damage might just hit us like a truck later on by surprise after all.

Other than Bitcoin I'd recommend buying assets like gold or land, just don't let your money rot inside your bank account or something. That's something you should never do in situations like this.
2086  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Chinese digital economy to integrate Crypto and NFTs on: July 16, 2022, 12:45:24 PM
Interesting. Most of the hate about crypto that China had was about Bitcoin since they couldn't control it, hence why they made their own. Afaik they don't hate cryptocurrency exactly, so them trying to integrate NFT's and Crypto would mean that they're probably planning on doing something to the ecosystem they'd use so that it'd stay firmly under their control. Though I'm more interested in how said integration is actually going to work though and if it actually has any uses aside from, well, being looked at.
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Fengshui on: July 16, 2022, 11:07:25 AM
Why wouldn't it, people believe it so some casinos capitalize on it by advertising they have it or they believe in it so people who believe it would actually chose said casinos to play in since well, it aligns with their belief or something along the lines. Some people have had a good experience with it though honestly, it's all just luck to me, nothing more, nothing else.

I have some habits I do, something like how choosing C on an exam would bring you the correct answer one way or another kind of habit, it's something I subconsciously do when a certain/specific scenario pops up or happens to me whenever I play.
2088  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can all (or most) cryptocurrencies rise and fall at the same time? on: July 16, 2022, 10:32:51 AM
They follow a general trend and Bitcoin stands as the one that pretty much they follow since it's still the top coin to choose (and would probably stay as one). Besides, the general sentiment on one part of the market would usually influence the other parts, so Bitcoin being down also inevitably brings up a negative sentiment (for the most part) in the altcoin department. Not to say that altcoins don't have their own market, the pumps and dumps still vary from coin to coin but most of the time it's infested with whales manipulating the amount a market would dump or pump.
2089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This clearly damage the gambling. on: July 15, 2022, 11:59:57 PM
That was one big bruh moment. I'd say it'd be better for him to go into acting but with skills like that I reckon he'd also be pretty bad at it.

That aside though, I'd want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that it was an accident but... Only if it were on a idk, scale of a college or even highschool level at most. It just isn't possible to make a mistake like this in an official match when you're playing in an official match.

On the side of bookies though, I think they would've voided the bets for the entire match if match fixing were to be noticed? Cause if they didn't there's a high chance groups would take advantage of it and intentionally fix matches and make bets for profits.
2090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Discussion] Should Gambling be Banned? on: July 15, 2022, 01:24:36 PM
I'm against it. It's a legal business imo with a pretty clear statement of how they earn money and how they offer their services to their users/customers. The main issue here imo is about addiction but really, it's an issue that affects both the user and the business, mostly on the user side imo.

It's already being controlled and regulated imo, but it isn't up to date. Especially with how easy it is to look up guides on how to bypass stuff, casinos should improve that system of theirs. They don't particularly do it since it doesn't really affect their profits and would only incur them costs imo.
2091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Popular Themes for Online Slot on: July 14, 2022, 10:39:44 PM
No particular favorite. If I were to be forced to pick though then the most notable one for me would be fruit-themed and Egyptian-themed. Those two are by far the most memorable ones since they were one of the first themed casinos I've tried iirc. Recently though I just choose whatever attracts my eye and just play on it if I ever want to play slots. Not particularly picky about it nor do I believe that one slot theme is better for luck than the other really.

I might have a specific theme in mind when playing, just that I don't really remember it and just pick it subconsciously. I just know I'm more on the attractive/brighter color schemes.
2092  Economy / Economics / Re: Thoughts on CBDC's and long-term effect on the cryptomarket on: July 14, 2022, 12:04:21 PM
I'd say it's more of an improvement if you were to consider originally how fiat is and how governments are making it work right now. It also opens up improvements on money transfers in different situations which makes it a lot easier for the regular person, kind of how the advantage of centralization is supposed to originally be. If you look at it from another perspective, CBDC is simply fiat but made more secure (for the government that is) and transparent (hopefully). I honestly don't think much is gonna change for us, whether it be as users of fiat or users of crypto.

I don't think it's going to ruin or damage the crypto scene, maybe an initial FUD of sorts after it officially releases as a form of currency, but other than that, they live their lives there and we live our lives here.
2093  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more uses to deposit. on: July 14, 2022, 06:04:44 AM
Definitely. It opens up a LOT of ways for a gambler to stop gambling and possibly use the money they got from winning to buying, say a gift card or two, or maybe just loading it up on their own cash wallet where they can use it immediately to pay bills or buy something. It also opens up a lot for newbie gamblers who have limited options that are available for them (I've been there, and it's a real pain ngl). This is only on my perspective though since that's honestly what I thought up first if casinos were to expand their withdrawal options.
2094  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Many people become binance futures full time traders as job on: July 13, 2022, 12:42:45 PM
Now many people becomes binance full tome time fututrs trader as full time.
Its a good full time job reasons:
All ur earnings on binance debit card instant.
U dont need to go anywhere u cam even do job with smart phone.
Well if they know what they're doing and they have the time to do so, then yes it is indeed a job that you can profit off of pretty well. That's why trading is also a job in general really, as long as you have the time, skills, and budget to start off your road, you can pretty much do it. It's rather easy and quick for one to go bankrupt though, especially with crypto.

I think kids should also learn that in school instead of useless things but good job how to make decent incone without going anywhere or over work.
Yea no. It's like teaching art students famous art styles cause they're tried and tested. They have their own skills and judgments so that wouldn't really work. Maybe if it were a static type of job, but futures (or investing in general) is a rather dynamic type of thing, it's quick to change and different ideas and strategies are used for different projects/investments.
2095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investing in Casino tokens such as BFG, OWL or TFS on: July 13, 2022, 10:52:27 AM
Wouldn't really consider those tokens on the same level or at least attribute the market that they have as the same as the market of Bitcoin. Those tokens are for casinos after all, and the market that they have is rather different from the investors and users of Bitcoin, not to mention that they're relatively less known compared to the big tokens. There's also the possibility that it's artificially manipulated since it's much easier to control the market for these kinds of tokens imo.

Plus, the token seems to be used on the casino itself for benefits, so that may be a reason for the increase in price, though it may just be temporary in the end due to a temporary increase in the amount of players/users.
2096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Threshold of Loss in Gambling on: July 12, 2022, 11:50:05 PM
Not really no. Rather instead of a loss, I just set a maximum amount that I can use to gamble and I'm free to spend it all or not depending on how I feel. I consider that set amount as something I've already lost, so if you can count that as one then that would be mine.

There's instances though where money is left because I won quite a bit, but even then It'd highly depend on how I'm feeling as to whether I'd actually continue or not.
2097  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake making new accounts is too easy on: July 12, 2022, 11:11:33 AM
Idk, pretty sure it's not only stakes responsibility to do something about the problem, it's also yours?  They already did something about your og account, you making more is basically ruining the fix that they did.

Gambing addiction is not only the problem of casinos, it's also the problem of the involved person and blaming them like this simply pushes the responsibility away.
2098  Other / Off-topic / Re: Manny Paquiao vs Korean Youtuber on: July 12, 2022, 10:59:16 AM
Why though? If Pacquiao wanted to set exhibition matches, I think there'd be tens or hundreds of better choices that would've made sense. If it's a money issue I still think there'd be better options or offers? Though if time was an issue then it might be a different idea altogether. Still gonna support him though.
Although I'm still going to speculate Pacman had lost tons of money during his failed Presidential run.
It still wouldn't make that much sense even if he lost a lot on his run. There's probably a bunch of better options he could've chosen from, maybe even outside of boxing itself.
2099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Grand Lotto Winner on: July 11, 2022, 11:52:39 AM
O you don't have to worry about it that much, there's been a bunch of winners in the past and they haven't really (afaik) released any personal info pertaining to the winners. City isn't really a problem since there's a LOT of people out there living in the same city most likely.

And I don't think the winners don't know the risks involved with them winning. They're probably off preparing a bunch of stuff already to maybe move out or temporarily live somewhere else.
2100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Payouts in casinos on: July 11, 2022, 06:00:38 AM
I guess it boils down ultimately to the capabilities of the casino? They're able to give out higher payouts to players depending on the current state of the casino itself, taking into consideration factors such as player count, staff, financial situation, fees, etc.


I don't particularly concern myself with it tbf, I just mostly play on reputable sites in the first place.
