2081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Fengshui on: August 08, 2022, 09:55:06 PM
what i do believe is that Not only in China but in the whole world as we knew that Chinese scattered around the world and if there is chinese then there will be a fengshui believer and follower.

and also there are fengshui experts now that offers their skills for the businessmen and yeah many are subscribing with this.

Well, you're quite right about that but that is in the old times because nowadays, not all Chinese people are a believer in Feng Shui nor used it in their daily lives or as a lucky charm. So, I think it's not certain to say that all Chinese folks that have scattered almost throughout the world are Feng Shui believers or a follower.

Personally, I don't really believe in these kinds of things but don't take it wrong because I understand and respect their beliefs about it. It's just that I see Feng Shui more as a business for the Chinese people. Just my thought though.
Fengshui does involved placement of things and i dont know on whats the relevance of this thing when it comes to gambling? Chants and behavioral aspect is different from placement of things but in general
essence it do still share up on the same goal or idea which its true that not all would really be that believer even they are living on the same country or being simply a Chinese but pretty sure that most of them
does share up on the same belief since this is really a part of their culture and i dont see anything wrong if someone do apply these things into their gambling activity.It doesnt matter
as long they arent putting someone to harm then lets just respect on what they are believing.
2082  Other / Archival / Re: Entrepreneurship or Office job? on: August 08, 2022, 08:52:48 PM
The struggle between the decision of being your own boss and working under someone is becoming more difficult to make as economic situations become tougher. From evaluation around me, self proclaimed entrepreneurs are quitting entrepreneurship because of difficulty in maintaining a business and reduced sales due to reduced purchasing power from people, an effect of the economic situation. Office workers on the other hand who also have been on one salary grade for a long time now are becoming fed up with how their monthly salary is no longer sufficient to secure a comfortable lifestyle for a month also due to the higher cost of living. What do you think is the way forward?


As if you do have another choice? For sure you would be sticking on that 8-5 job of yours even though it isnt really something enough to live a comfortable life considering the inflation and skyrocketing price of
needs then you would really be having that struggle thats why you would really be still that dedicated on continuing and what are  the things needed to move forward? If you do still have the time
and vacant to extent out on some business or other jobs for another source of income then do it because if you do really plan to have at least that improved lifestyle
and survive in daily living then it would really be normal to have these considerations in mind.
2083  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? on: August 06, 2022, 08:09:01 PM
The stress reduction aspect of gambling depends on the mentality of each person, after all something that can be incredibly stressful for you can be something relaxing for me and vice versa, however it is true that if someone does not gamble in moderation and they are abusing it then it is very unlikely they are going to get any stress reduction as there is not really a single person that likes to lose money they cannot afford to lose in a consistent basis.

Not only in consistent basis which I agree everyone get stressed after they lose the money but even if you overdo it like a couple of times.I never thought I would get sad because I lost some money that I can afford to lose but yesterday I thought to myself today I am going to play with a high bet and see in a short amount of time if I will be a winner or not,I play slot machines,and sadly I lost everything in less than 5 minutes.I thought to myself that I tried to hit it big and should not be worried,however my wife directly noticed that I was not in the normal mood I am always,so deep inside me I was stressed even when losing money I can afford to lose.
That is an interesting observation, even if you lose some money that you had already planned on using to gamble if the speed at which you do so is too fast then you may still get some lingering regrets about it, this is something that I think it has happened to everyone and I include myself as well, as I remember that once I decide to use the martingale strategy and I got busted in less than 10 minutes when the chances of that happening that fast were very low, it was a bad loss but I learned a lot from it.
Using up martingale doesnt really assure whether it would be a long or short session because it would vary on how early or late you would really be able to experience because this strategy had been known on doubling

your basebet whenever you do lose which even if you do set out the maximum losing streak for even 30 plus or something it couldnt really assure that it could really able to sustain
thats why this is a wrong misconception for almost everyone specially to those who are just new into gambling where they do commonly make use of this very
common and usual betting strategy specially on dice or even on crash.Its up to you on how you would make out adjustments.
2084  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Technical analysts be like.. on: August 05, 2022, 09:47:40 PM
It is important for you to have a motive or objective to enter cryptocurrency trading
Having that reason can still encourage you to learn more and do better.
The market wont stop from moving for us, we should really know how to adopt the trend and move forward and don’t ever think that its dumping because you’re done buying, its just a coincidence what you can do is to focus on your plan especially on cutting losses, TA is also about creating strategy.
With the market is very volatile, TA can be invalidated most of the time and we should not stick with one strategy all the time. TA can works if you have your target price and cut loss price, there’s instances like this before especially if you are trying to catch the falling knives, this is why its also important to timing the market and don’t just buy because of any hype. Many traders are just waiting for the right moment before they execute their trades,  having patience is also important and can be a big help so that TA can work.
But if we do compare the effectiveness of TA in the past and TA of the present then i could say that there's some significant changes on that because unlike before where
TA wont really be that much effective nor really have high chance for the price to follow which compared to now that it is somewhat really following but not that much but at least we do able to see
some progress and this is why learning up technical analysis is really important because not all the time where this market do really have news or sentiments which you could really make use.
If ever you do see sentiments and fundamentals then it isnt really bad to consider on having combination on both which you do seem for it to be effective then go ahead.
2085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet (UPDATE) + fixed match on: August 05, 2022, 08:34:35 PM
Taking a loan for betting is the first red flag. Saying it was because he has insider's info of fixed match is a second red flag. No one sane enough to do all of that, taking loans to bet on a match from insider's info. OP, you need to make sure you aren't into the scam that usually lures gamblers with 'insider's info of fixed match' and are willing to give gamblers a loan.
And once you loose you don't find insider anywhere.
I have experienced that - when you are in trouble even your true friends are gone and at that moment you realize you are only your true friend. Don't be greedy and do not trust other.
Never ever tend nor expect that there's someone would gonna help you in times of those hardship or hardtimes because you are indeed the only one who could able to help yourself.
Basing up on real experience then i had really able to experience those things and i do heavily agree that taking a loan just for you to make bets or simply gambling is indeed a
red flag.Its not really worth for the risk because having some loan just for you to gamble is not a really good idea and also having those fixed matches information
is something that cant really be able to surface out that easily.
2086  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Borrow fiat with your Bitcoin and never sell on: August 04, 2022, 11:17:17 PM
You can do anything with the loan but if there is high rate of interest then there is little worry. If you have passive income investing in something that makes sense. Because you have to pay fixed amount of money against interest. Many people adopt the same approach in the case of Bitcoin and take loans by keeping Bitcoin as an asset. If it is for long time you will get advantage otherwise there is possibility of loss.
When we  do tend to take up some loan then we arent that dumb on not to know on whats the interest.Therefore, if you do see that it is really just high then there's nothing you can do about it
So its a take it or leave it kind of situation of yours to take. There's nothing wrong to take up some loan as long you are responsible  and able to repay those amounts in due time then i dont see
anything wrong with it as long it would be applied to investment but of course dont expect something from it because there's no assurance or sureness that you could make profits on time.
2087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Gambling companies can get more users to deposit. on: August 04, 2022, 09:38:12 PM
I think the best way for a site to secure player loyalty is to do good promotions.
Especially those that give you bonuses as the player spends more time playing.

I think that is one of the good ways to keep attracting and keeping players but I think the main one is to be trustworthy by processing players' withdrawal instantly.  No matter how much they win, Casino should release the winnings as easily as they receive the deposit.  If the casino can manage to lower the wagering requirement to be able to withdraw the bonuses then it would be better.


Fairness and deposit/withdrawal on instant is just a standard or a must thing to have on any casinos or businesses out their.They shouldnt really stop on finding something new which would
poke up users interest because if you do look around where other competitors are finding new ways and promotions just to make themselves to be better compared or among others
which we know that the more unique and much better casinos or companies out there would definitely get that kind of attention that might result on having or hooking up
more players which means it would really be talking about more revenue for theirs.

However some people that followed his "suggestions" or lets say indicators, managed to earn. I am just waiting when people stop being blind or realize that whatever Elon Musk does, he does it for himself. He is not an enthusiast that wishes to make everyone happy and rich. I just wait to see when people understand that whatever Elon Musk touches, does not turn into gold for everyone.
He is a public figure who does have a lot of fans so it's not surprising that many people still believe in him because if you look at him from the naked eye he is a person who is capable enough to do anything with the money and power he has.
But maybe for now actually more and more people are realizing that this is not very useful so that indeed many people now may ignore it even though there are still many who follow it.
For every known person then expect that there would be fans or who do support such individual which does simply means that whenever they do make up some noise then expect that there are ears and eyes would able
to see it and since Elon and his companies do make out some movement specially if its crypto related then you could really expect something like this to happen.He might be indirectly doing things but it is some sort
to be a manipulative act which isnt really that very common but pretty obvious to be done by someone and since this market is highly reactive into these kind of events or sentiments then you could expect
that there would be neither no movements or does have basing into that certain circumstance or happenings.
2089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An alternative to gambling with money. on: August 04, 2022, 08:11:34 PM
A better suggestion and an alternative to quitting gambling completely is to start betting with fake money gambling apps. With FAKE MONEY GAMBLING APPS, you can continue gambling on the app even on live games, but with fake money. So in reality you can maintain the experience you derive from gambling and not loose any money except the fake one in the process.

Imagine winning a game on a fake gambling app that you can't withdraw, how does that makes you feel?. Because in as much as it is hard for an addictive gambler to easily stop immediately, by winning most times on the fake app will crave a desire to want to try with the real money if such person happens to get an opportunity, because such individual will think that for the fact that he could win the fake app, he gets what it take to win with real money. So for me, I think the best way to stop an addictive gambler from gambling is by first, letting him or her to fully understand what gambling could cause him if he or she doesn't slow down. As gambling is a risk and as individuals it good to be calculative about our risk


That is indeed true, playing in a fake gambling app where there is only imaginary money will only fuel the gambler's desire and cravings towards where the real gambling activities are. They will start to think that they have what it takes in the real deal because of their winnings in the fake gambling app but the gambler didn't know that the risk is not the same because in the app, your movement is not that risky as there will be no real consequence if you lose unlike in the real gambling where your brain will always make sure that you got to make the very best move to avoid losses.
We know that human mind or brain would definitely know the difference which would automatically triggers out that you should play with real money to have real winnings and this is what make things different.
If you do really want to quit gambling then you should really avoid yourself on playing even though it wont really be that real money but still it would really trigger out that kind of interest which would make
you gamble even more and its a wrong idea that people who are addicted would completely stop on what they are doing when you are still making yourself get involved with such activity.
Dont gamble if you do like to quit but if not then you would be ending up on the same story.
2090  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I not lose money in trading cryptocurrency? on: August 03, 2022, 11:52:54 PM
there is only one way, if you want to avoid losing in crypto currency you have to do only one thing,
namely don't be greedy, haha, this is the reason we lose money when trading, especially in crypto currencies with high volatility,
making the money disappear quickly. easy, and one more thing, don't hold it for long time
Even you do make yourself not to be greedy then for sure you would still experience losses because this thing is something inevitable but somewhat if you arent that greedy then you
wont really be making yourself not that impulsive or reactive when it comes to losses which might result on chasing your losses or trying out to break even on the lost capital you do have.
You should welcome on losing because this is something that would help you to be come a better trader and instead on freaking out then why not
try to learn something from it?
2091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Recent Experience at a Land-Based Casino on: August 03, 2022, 10:44:51 PM
It's not good that the employee (Gambler's nephew) shouts like this in the casino.
He should have gone to his uncle's house and explained to him that he should stop gambling and think about his family. If he doesn't stop despite this, then it is on him. No one can force him as he will probably change the casino if he felt awkward when his nephew shouted at him.

If you were the casino manager would you fire the casino worker for interfering with your business or would you ban the gambler from visiting the casino?
If it's the first time it's not an issue but if it happens again and again I'll kick them both out as they are disturbing other players.  Cheesy

The employee had a thousand of choice on this situation but it's just easy for us to say this because we aren't in his shoes. He could've say to the management and ask them not to let his uncle in the establishment to control his gambling desires but he got emotional when he saw he's uncle walking again inside the casino and suddenly shouted him.
I understand the man why he acted that way but his action wasn't professional as he's working that time.
You should really be that mindful when it comes to your actions specially that you are in your workspace or simply on where you do get your income from which it would really be just normal that you should
be careful because it would really be putting at risk on losing your work just because you do make such act but its not really something surprising for someone to be that in concern specially
if its your relative or loved ones who are really that getting involved with gambling addiction but you should really mind off about trying to set out on appropriate way
on which you wont really be creating up some noise around because its a business and making such action will really make out some effect which you would be putting yourself on risk.

Maybe, he can be discreet in approaching his relative about his situation.
There's no need for everyone to hear what he is saying to that person.
Unless, everyone in that area knows everybody, which you can be comfortable in talking to others even if they hear it.
Because if you don't know them, it may create a different outlook on what's happening to them.
For his relative side then it would be ending up on impressions that he had been put to shame because we know that whenever we do see an addicted person then we would always be ending up
on having unpleasant impression towards that person which he might end up on scolding or  being angry with his relative that do works on the casino.Its never been appropriate
if you do have that kind of approach because even we are addicted towards things, we arent that dumb on not to feel out being ashamed whenever you do say personal
things attached to his life into the public which is something not that ethical to be done.
2092  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Countries have banned Bitcoin; Do you believe is because of criminal activities on: August 03, 2022, 09:40:35 PM

Most countries are giving excuses and  reason for banning Bitcoin is because it can easily be used to fund crimes.
But I think they are afraid of losing control of their citizens' financial activities because they believe being the ones regulating financial activities makes them powerful.
What are your thoughts

1. Money laundering
2. Increasing criminal acts
3. Volatile and risky
4. Attaching into crypto scams

This is where media do put focus on and that what makes bitcoin or crypto as a whole looks bad into the eyes of those citizens which does have zero knowledge
which would result into bad impressions instead but time will come that they would really do know the truth and would totally oppose
on what they have seen back in the past and going against it.

Have you ever seen the WWF? You could argue that's been making a mockery of boxing for 25+ years - I know they call it "wrestling" but in reality it's all just theatrics in a boxing ring. I don't see any problem with it, if all fighters are aware of the risks and willingly want to participate then leave them to it. As we see with the popularity of the WWF contest every year, some people just like to watch this as a form of entertainment rather than a professional sport. There are serious tournaments and there are mock fights, follow whatever you like and it doesn't hurt anyone else. The real saps are the people paying for tickets which ultimately ends up funding the huge wage packets they get in return.
Thinking off sensibly that if these mockery doesnt really get huge revenue or profits then we wont really be seeing for them to continue these things and i heavily agree on what you had said and compared it on WWF
which is basically been done on a boxing ring and we've been seeing these things for a long time and still present as of today which does simply imply that there's really a market for this.If you do find this stuff
to be not good or not right at all then you could just simply leave and ignore but there are people who do really like to see these things just for them to be entertained
and since people are different then we could really see different preferences.
2094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: So we've gone from 1 meme coin to one hundred now ? on: August 02, 2022, 11:51:33 PM
Not just shiba, but there's a dozen different others I think.
I tried a couple of them, just to see how they behave in this bear market.
To my surprise one of them was 20% in profit last time I checked ( after about a month ) the other one $50 in profit after one day. Not bad !  Grin
But to be honest I don't think I would put any money on Doge or Shiba... they're already far too high in the rankings.. way... way higher than they deserve. The best gains are made when your meme coin is ranked #800 or somewhere around there
So you are talking about low caps? Gaining from it? Then its good for you since not all would really be having that risk taking step on dealing with low caps specially those projects which are been made just because of
the hype.We've seen lots of it not only on meme coins but also in other projects as well which whenever there's some hype then expect that developers or owners would be definitely creating one and trying out
to jump in with the hype and then make money out of those people who had attached themselves with the trend but still ending up on its value into the floor because people arent really that
dumb but surprisingly there are projects who do able to make it out.
2095  Economy / Economics / Re: A Secret to financial breakthrough on: August 02, 2022, 09:52:06 PM
Leaving aside social conditioning factors, since it will be more difficult to become rich if you are born into a poor family in Somalia than if you are born into a middle-class family in Austria, a common characteristic of people who are not born rich and become rich is to believe that their destiny is largely in their own hands. There is always a luck component that you can't control but if you want to improve your economic situation you better get off your ass to make it happen.
Always talks about on the effort that you should make rather than making big plans inside into your brain but not doing anything then it would really be just normal that you would really remain as a poor one.
Work hard and work smart and persevere on what you are trying to achieve and not just pure talks because you wont really be making yourself progressive if you wont really be making such actions.
We know that there are advantages when you are really that being born on a rich family since you do have the financial advantage whenever you do set up plans on making investment or something in related
compared into those people who do lack opportunity and chances but somewhat it cant be impossible if you do just simply work hard and persevere.

2097  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How diversified are you with your investment, crypto aside? on: August 02, 2022, 07:56:48 PM
fo me, investing in crypto is a risky but profitable investment, moreover in Bitcoin. some altcoins are also owned like BNB, ETH, LTC, and some others. but not sure about the APY.
outside cry[to, investment in gold is one of the ways that I can reach, than in property because of the limited capital
Everything is a risk, 'life itself is a risk' and there is nothing to change that. If you are to invest in crypto you have to choose one of them, if you think you are diversifying when you invest in btc, eth, bnb etc, you are wrong, i will choose only btc, and for the other person, they should choose the one coin they trust, then look outside of crypto for extra investment, i.e. bitcoin and gold, bitcoin and stocks, bitcoin and silver, etc, that is diversification.
Wont really be bad to choose other option as long your finances permits and able for you to do so.Doesnt matter if you do choose traditional investment or adding up your  crypto portfolio.
You do really need to take up some risk and its true that everything does have the risk.Therefore, you should really be that having on being prepared on certain conditions.
Its up to you because all of us are really that serious on finding other source of income which might be generated out by the investments that we are involving in.
Although it wont really be that simple and effective most of the time but at least we do try.

If you play with the real money,it won’t be that much fun.Instead if you play with the game using the cryptocurrency like bitcoin and others will give us more fun.Because the profit you had earned will be received with the cryptocurrency.So you can use the cryptocurrency to hold,when the price received cryptocurrency was pump,you can double the profit.
Would really be just the same whether you do make use of fiat or crypto as long it does hold some value or you know that you could  get something then the thrill and interest would be there not like
when you do play using playmoney or demo which is totally a different experience.Doesnt matter on what games you are tending to play since everyone does have different set of interest.
For games that we do want to see then we do love to see something different or unique considering that we've been seeing almost the same games offered with most platforms
and they do only differ with GUI/GUX but in overall sense it is really just the same thing.

As we all are seeing the launching of new projects one after one. So, one should take care of many things before investing. How to know the real potential of these new projects?

1. Check the team
2. Check the projects relevance
3. Check Roadmap
4. Check Whitepaper
5. Check development behavior
6. Utility
7. Security
etc....

Even though you do make or able to see this checklist but doesnt mean it would give out
assurance on getting some success on your investment. Everything would boils down into community demand.
Therefore, there's no way on making up some assurance on everything.

Yes fix matches do happen in different leagues but not as obvious that the public will instantly know something went wrong. Fix matches are suppose to be what the coaching crew may know and players but fans that are not insiders won't know but in the case of this particular one, even passer by that happens to watch it would ask questions too. This kind of fix matches makes people treat the game with unseriousness, mockery and disdain.
It will be tag by those who watch and bet with this type of game, it's no secret that game-fixing is really happening but not that obvious, there are rigged games that taking place and people who are involved to this business knows how to deal in it without a trace, in some cases, there are obvious that being reviewed and if proven sanctions will take place.

Parties that involve in these transactions are moving in a very discreet way in order not to being caught by anyone around.
Unfortunately, it will depend on the severity of the game and how obvious the fixed match for parties to be penalize on this kind of events. Small events and game has the most obvious and more fixed matches has been made as players are easily bribed to do so. However, fixed matches also happens on huge games but it not as obvious and further investigation will be held before even declaring the game as a fixed match and for someone to be penalized. But, it is rare for someone to be caught doing so as reputation are staked on higher leagues.
True, Match fixing on higher leagues are different. Players who are being bribed is being extra careful on the moves he/she will do because it's easy for their viewers and fans to see if their are something weird happening. I'm sure they are aware that one suspicious move can make the game flagged as match fixing, This is why players that has reputation are being extra careful not being caught. This is why I think we only have seen few match fixing games on higher leagues compared to lower ones. 
It is really rampant on lower leagues on which only a few or wont really be getting  that much attention which would really be that easy to execute those match fixing plans and its true that fans eyes arent
really that too dumb on not to notice something odd because once we are really that familiar with the game plus on the past performance of a certain player or team and having a little bit
change would really raising up some eyebrows on what the hell is happening and this is where suspicions do being mold or created thats why its not really that much common on
bigger leagues since it could really be noticed out easily and thats something that they dont really like.
