I have heard many of these stories before.... people posting in gambling chat that they started with $5 and they pushed it to $150 and then losing that money within a few minutes. I think we are greedy and as soon as you won something big, you increase your bet size and you lose it quicker.  Roll Eyes

The old saying that says.... "The Only gambler that win, is the one that stops playing after a huge win" is so true. We win big.... and over time the casino just take back the winnings over time, because we do not stop playing.  Roll Eyes

This is one of the basic rules that I use when gambling. Immediately after any significant winnings I leave the casino. But according to my statistics, even this rule does not allow me to get rich by gambling. This approach allows you to spend money somewhere else and enjoy it rather than lose every last cent and leave the casino with nothing.

I agree with that but I don't just leave the casino and move to other gambling site but I withdraw it with no chance of playing those credits that I withdraw since my strategy before is if I win a significant amount I withdraw it and move to other gambling site which I lose at some point so I think this rule is good for not much of a gambler players.
Looks like a superstitious belief, some gamblers really think that way, but it's their style and they are comfortable with it. As for me, I'm loyal with the gambling site I'm using as the more I gamble the more chance my level will increase and enjoy the promotion the site have for their loyal gamblers.

  • Going all in- it a very bad habit, never ever put all your eggs in one basket. it's a popular saying.
Absolutely, never put your all your money in one token or coin. Rather, fill your portfolio with different tokens and categories of tokens. For example, x% for DeFi, x% of metaverse, x% of btc and eth.

...
If ever I'll be choosing 1 coin and putting everything on it that would be Bitcoin. But of course, splitting our investment into 3-5 coins at least will give us some confidence that whatever it happens to other projects we still have the chance to recover from others. It is a way we strategies, yet must be planned well.

60% - BTC
40% - altcoins

Well, mistakes can just be the main reason because we choose the wrong coins but also due to improper fund management. A lack of experience is also a big factor.

Dogecoin was created as memecoin and don't think people will accept memecoin to replaced with bitcoin where elon will manipulate it for own benefit whenever he want. Shouldn’t compare it with bitcoin after seeing some hype and pump. Even people won't follow elon stalemate again without presenting any solid reason to support dogecoin. If doge itself make itself better, then maybe It'll ve valuable in future but after bitcoin of course
Well, perhaps it was not the main issue but the main reason why it is impossible and surely no chance for Dogecoin replaces Bitcoin is that it has no potential like Bitcoin. Dogecoin is too far behind Bitcoin when it comes to value, trust level, and market perspective. People can't be bought with Twitter, not even the popularity and famous look of Elon Musk.

Investors have been wise enough to choose which one is good and has a fortune which this Dogecoin obviously doesn't have. It only gains popularity because of Elon Musk, not of being its own potentiality.
2144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Am curious about bounties on: May 07, 2022, 11:15:04 PM
I am looking to try out a bounty campaign using signature but I don't see anyone worth my time right now, I do have a question about this, does it make more sense to promote projects that are already trading over those that are not listed on exchange yet? I see so many that aren't listed like whsiperMSG, Valore, Elysian Finance, they don't look like they will be hitting an exchange any time soon.

What and what makes you promote a project?.
It is all just about earning money after helping the promoting the company, a sort of compensation. There are certain rules that are needed to follow when joining them, actually, it is not hard but the question is if this gives you decent rewards? As to know that most of bounties today are not good, the majority are scams that sometimes some hunters will just hope for luck. But I don't think this should have happened, this seems not ideal to see from these bounties that I remind you that never expect anything from them as it only disappoints you.
2145  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time for me to buy on: May 07, 2022, 10:40:43 PM
Despite no serious bull in the market for sometime,  I am thinking to buy more because the price at which bitcoin is right now I can be able to afford it. I planned buying when the price was at 40$ , the amount of bitcoin I planned to buy is a small quantity which if the market eventually go dip i may lost 30% of it. But now I feel even if I buy and it goes dip it wont go dipper the way the price is now.  What do you think about my plan?
Indeed, the market won't just fall forever, it recovers back after the last drop occurs. If we plan for long-term investment this current situation is going to believe the best time tp o start with. Drops can be possible, but we don't need to wait for that as not even sure if that really happen what if this $35k was already the bottom price.

Besides, Bitcoin is known for its profitability, so even if it drops more as long as you never sell them, you'll never lose.

About casimero I don't think if he get the 100% sure support by the crowd  after these issues.  And yes he still have a  chance to fight and being a champion again.

He already got the support when he was still a champion, people accepted his style in boxing, he is trash-talker, so what? as long as he wins and make his countrymen proud, that's important, now it's time for him to correct his mistake and that is by bouncing back with a win, probably in a new division.

Harden might play well and bring the 76ers to the NBA Finals.
Possible but unlikely. a team that starts with 2-0 lead has a good chance of winning the series as per NBA trends.
If we believe 76ers will win, then taking the odds now would give us a great value.

I know it's still too early and 76ers are likely to lose the series, but like I said, who knows.
yes, there's no one who can ascertain the outcome of the game, losing 2 in a row does not mean they'll lose the series.
Like what happened on the Bucks las season, lose against Nets on the road twice and beat the Nets in the series, same with the NBA finals against the Suns.

Question for all altcoin investors 

1. Can Ape coin beats doge coin some day? In rank on coinmarketcap
Not possible but not this time. As there is EM who protect Dogecoins and continue supporting it, Apecoin has np chance to beat it.

2. When should we start expecting a better greenish market again?.
We can't tell. neither we can predict the market what will happen next. What we gonna do is to patiently wait that moment as certainly it comes someday.

3. Now that we are a ina  bear market will metaverse hype keep going on?.
Do metaverses aren't done with their hypes? I thought they are done already. We actually don't see a strong connection to the market but just how it should, everything has been in a declining situation.

We can reach what we aim for in just a matter of time. Yet, we can't achieve that also if we don't work hard or we if we just feel it easy.
To keep thinking that crypto investment is risky, we dare not to rush as it only ends up in a disaster. We have to take it slowly and keep going despite the difficulties we face along the journey as this certainly be paid off someday. Success is not just instant, that was the sad reality, however, it will just come momentarily.

It is just like walking on the stairs, we should start at the 1st step before we reach the highest level and the last step.
2150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 06, 2022, 12:50:29 PM
Oh they missed Smart last game but they still won the game. I know that this is Giannis house, but maybe the Celtics will give back the favor and still the game 3.

I think that if Celtics must win then they should dominate  from behind the arc.
That's always their play if Bucks will choose to clogged the paint, they are a good 3 point shooting team, so they'll dominate.

In a playoff series, one of the hardest things to do is excel in a category for multiple games. There’s no way they can match that same output they did in game 2. Celtics are doing well without Smart. Especially on offense. Passing and ball movement way better. Smart has always been a bench player
Bucks will make an adjustment as in the 1st half, Giannis was not effective, so expect a new strategy for the Bucks.
2151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 06, 2022, 12:29:32 PM
There is no doubt that Grizzlies with Ja Morant with it is really a strong team and they managed to cut off the winning streak of the Golden State Warriors and even though I am a GSW fan too I can really say that the Grizzlies really did a good job in defeating the GSW last match.
As if that was a big win.. Man, Memphis are playing at their home court, warriors steal one game, so it's hard to say that this team is a good team, unless they'll steal one game as well in the Warriors home court. Well, I know we have a lot of Grizz fans here, that's good to know because this makes the series more entertaining to watch and follow.

Both of them make their opponent life more harder and I cannot also call which one of them are much stronger knowing that there's a player on GSW got injured on that match maybe we can see a different result if they Grizzlies didn't over extend their physicality but I understand about that since its part of the game and somehow this is the strategy to defeat their opponent. Maybe if Grizzlies can win this series and successfully eliminated Warriors for this round well this can make people agree that this team level up and got more higher chance to get into the finals.


I like the enthusiasm of some who believe that Memphis could defeat the Warriors in the series.
If you really believe that will happen, take the very attractive odds for Memphis to win the series..

it's a huge 3.60 right now.

2152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs Donaire II discussion on: May 05, 2022, 01:31:30 PM

We cannot see the Casimero vs Inoue anymore, that hype is already gone, it's all on the rematch of Donaire and Inoue.
Casimero has no chance of getting the fight because he is not anymore the champion.
No reason for him to stay in bantamweight when he struggle to maintain the right weight.


Moving on is the right decision he should let go of his eagerness to fight Inoue or Donaire because even if he is given a chance he'll have issues with his weight, but there's still an opportunity on the other weight, it should be on a weight where is he more comfortable and can bring out the best in him, he is still at the height of his career and his power and skill are still there, maybe in the future he can meet any of the two in case Inoue and Donaire also move up.

I'm sure he will fight a lot of champions in the heavier weight that will accept his challenge. He is a cocky fighter, a champion would love that so they will have a great fight, hopefully his failure in the bantamweight division will bring him success in the heavier weight.
2153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Warriors vs Grizzlies 2nd round discussion on: May 05, 2022, 01:17:10 PM
Memphis underdogs by 6.5.  Lol. That's crazy.  I don't get how so many people are not giving them the cred they deserve.  They were down 10 points multiple time in the last series in the 4th quarter alone and came back.  This one they were down late and came back.  They don't crumble under the lights.  This team is more than just ja.  Go check out when ja was hurt what Memphis did to teams.  They are deep, young and good.  Taking that 6.5 points all day.

That's normal, Warriors are the favorite in the series and they are extremely good at home, at least their average. Personally, though Warriors are heavy favorite in game 3, I would still take the spread and just hope they'll win and cover that, that's how I trust them.

Why not? it will be in their homecourt and Warriors usually perform at high level at Chase center. But Payton can't play as he is one of their best defender to guard Ja Morant. And this is one reason why Ja went on beast mode in game 2 because no one can stop him. They have to find a way to slow him down and then Curry and Thompson should produce good games in order for the Warriors to get the edge in this game.

He is really a problem.. But for sure the Warriors knows how to limit him, they have been in this situation many times, they are good as a team and Ja Morant alone cannot bring win consistency. If Warriors will take both game 3 and 4, this series is over.

It would be quite tricky for some people not paying attention to much to details. I am going to admit that that I did not notice the missing "a" in the Twitter handle in the first place.
When I open Twitter, I usually just look into the name and handle itself then follower count then continue to scroll down to the oblivion and I know there would be some people similar to me when it comes to that.
Good thing I don't invest to these anymore.
That was the very first thing to consider and often got mistaken. Most of the time we miss checking every detail that has been written and it looks just okay and the same but with these special characters added to their names direct as to different groups or sites.

They won't succeed if we all become vigilant and careful in our actions this will help to avoid such things. And we are thankful to @PZ-X for doing the report and making us aware.

This kind of scam trick isn't new but somehow many people got to fall into this. If we do not look carefully at their names and do searches, we easily got tricked.

The problem with Twitter and even the other social media platform, people can easily make and change their names which is why it is hard for them to get traced and caught by the authority.
2156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which utilities will survive the bear market on: May 02, 2022, 03:11:18 PM
Bitcoin is the only sole survivor that I know, every other coins and tokens are nonsense, you can make good money out of them for sure but only for the time being, take your profits and leave or convert your profits to bitcoin.
Then it means that ETH, BNB, Sol, and the rest of the top 10 (at least) will die? If you are here in the forum way back in 2019-2020 when the market suffered the longest break and bearish season, you can really imagine how these projects prove that they are worth trusting, and they survive. With this just a few bucks corrections, that was too little decline to see, it was too far from the experience before that is why I have to disagree with you. People can keep their coins and hold, nothing to worry about in the first place for as long as you are holding good coins, not memes or NFTs.
2157  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Bitcoin's price stabilize someday? on: May 02, 2022, 02:43:06 PM
In fact, fiat money has also suffered market fluctuations although it was been controlled by the government, how much more if the market like the crypto which is designed to be volatile in nature? And even we can assume that one day the government will take control over it and it becomes centralized, this can't surely make the price of Bitcoin stabilized. I don't want to make a conclusion but no matter what we do, even the government cannot change this.= as because the price relies upon the status of demand and supply. And it is certainly be changing from time to time as the demand and supply change as well.
2158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Celtics vs Bucks 2nd round Series. on: May 02, 2022, 01:25:41 PM

Bucks showed their dominance, especially Giannis. Celtics has no other strategy but to shoot outside because they cannot drive inside. if they will not make the right adjustment in game 2, sorry for them, I smell a sweep here.  Grin

It's normal to think that the Bucks can sweep Celtics because they were unstoppable in game 1.
They surprised the world, Bucks were the underdog and yet they are the one who limited the Celtics in that game.

The result of game 1 where the Celtics swept the Nets was the reason why they are overvalued, now we see their real capacity.
Is it a bad match up?
2159  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA _ Phoenix Suns vs Dallas Mavericks - 2nd round on: May 02, 2022, 12:49:59 PM
Dallas is +5.5 in my bookie now.

It's very tempting, and I'm also interested in putting a bet on the ML.
I hope this isn't a trap, I would go against the home team as the Suns have lose one game at home against the Pelicans.
2160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 02, 2022, 12:27:36 PM
I got the same pick, Warriors -2.5 in game 1.


Klay Thompson ruined this bet. He missed 2 FT which is very uncharacteristic of him, he was clutch actually but he really missed, it only proved he is a human. LOL.. better luck next time for me, I still got them in game 2.

I was thinking that this bet would have a high chance of winning after that foul that being committed.

Until now I'm still thinking how int he world he will miss important FT like this. There's still enough time for Memphis to snatch
the game, almost, but it's not for Memphis to win the game today.

Time to move forward and sort the games for tomorrow, Heat -7.5 @ 1.93 seems decent since news spread that Sixers will be
Embiid-less this coming game 1.

Many bettors  including myself were shocked by those missed free throws from Klay due to the spreads being affected.

On tomorrow's game. Is it the first time that James Harden playing without Embiid? I still trust Harden's offense but it also depends on how Doc Rivers planned the game. But I do hope Doc will let Harden do his thing. I might take a pass on betting tomorrow's games. 



Yeah I put a few bucks down on the Warriors as well and was losing my mind on easy buckets being missed such as those free throws. Memphis is a pretty solid team so maybe I should have given them a little more credit especially with as well as Ja Morant has been playing.

It was a very competitive game, Warriors could have cover the spread if Klay did not missed the 2 FTs. Ja Morant was trying to have a game winner, but we know how good the Warriors are in terms of defense, they will not let that happen, I think a 3 point shot would be better than the last play of Morant.
