Well, that's because there's no guaranteed way to actually profit from gambling? It's not something that gives you a monthly paycheck every month, it's simply something reliant on luck. imo, what was listed was activities that could let you gamble more, or could let you efficiently use the time and money you've spent in gambling compared to, well, just regularly gambling the money itself to the casinos.

True, higher rewards simply incentivize you to spend more by making you imagine that you'd get more compared to what you spent. In some cases it could happen really (if you're bet amount vs profit is about the same), but it isn't really like that most of the time imo.

I'm on the no side here, though that doesn't mean that I expect the market to go up this month. Imo we're going for a stable month this June, we're definitely going to hover around 30k though, probably wouldn't go past 32k or so for the time being. We'd probably have to wait till the last quarter before any noticeable change happens, and I honestly think it just takes one push for the market to go zoom back up after a 50% drop from the ATH. Preferably after I buy more though.

The idea honestly looks good, but I still think it wouldn't really last. It might be for the checking identities and all of that, but said measures have already been taken in the past and nothing has really changed imo.  Underaged gambling is still possible and the first and foremost goal of these kinds of policies is to pretty much ensure that they get the money (aka taxes) from gamblers.
Probably all of the above? It's enforcing KYC more but honestly, I don't really mind when it comes to gambling, especially if it wasn't really crypto casinos (since those, I'd at least have some expectations that it isn't KYC locked, though that's like the small minority really).

I mean the subject here (those two friends) are just looking for someone to blame imo. Your friend isn't really accountable, at least not fully anyway. Not only that, but there's also the fact that they missed the idea of diversifying their portfolio so as to avoid the huge losses one could get in these exact scenarios. Always think of ways you could avoid potential losses, and not how to maximize your profits when it comes to investing, especially in a volatile market like crypto.

And honestly, if you (or anyone else you know) were to give financial advice, it'd probably be better to NOT do it instead. If they're curious, let them find out about it. They may see you as a snob for not sharing, but they only really see the positives and turn a blind eye to the negatives.

Bitcoin isn't a stablecoin though? If you mean a "stable investment" then that's why I'm saying if it's solely for your crypto portfolio then yes, feel free to invest in Bitcoin since it's a lot better than any other altcoin out there in the long term, but if you can find altcoins you think are good investments, then feel free to invest in them. But for your overall investment portfolio, try investing in something else other than crypto, say stocks. The saying "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" has always been apt in investing since it means diversifying your portfolio and reducing the risks involved if the market ever crashes.

It's not that Bitcoin has never crashed, it's that compared to the crashes, Bitcoin's market even in the long term still holds some guarantee that you can profit compared to other altcoins just from looking at its decade of history. It's a tried and tested investment so to speak. You'd never go wrong with investing on it for the long term, short term is another thing though since shorting Bitcoin is like shorting any other coin out there, unknown, risky, volatile, etc.

That's the catch. The entire project is about tricking people. Now who gets who first is the real question there.

Not really no. And it costed quite a lot I must say, both in terms of time and money spent.A mentor could help in reducing that though, and also advise on developing the proper mindset and mentality when it comes to trading, saving a lot of time and money. Not to mention it doesn't only help early on, but also later as well with the connections you've made.
 
Not that I'm complaining really. At the very least, it made me have that experience of learning crypto on my own and knowing how to react to stress and emotional experience that I got when I started trading. It's still a pretty good experience for me if I do say so.

2 is the strategy used by most people to win against the house afaik, there was even a case where the player talked with the casino to remove the house, not really sure for the duration(since he was a usual player and played in the casino for so long, so can be considered as a user perk). Plus, it gives free plays for you to do, so it's something to naturally take advantage of. 3 is something you do in anything that involves expenses imo, and 4 and 5 are pretty much dependent on what you yourself play. And in the case of 4, it doesn't necessarily increase the chances sometimes since games like slots aren't really skill reliant.

Does not gambling count?

It's something that simply became more apparent since the source of money for the majority of the families in the lower classes was cut off abruptly, with them left to only accepting the stimulus support from the government. Rich people/families on the other hand had the chance to extend their hands to businesses that were booming during the pandemic such as pharmaceuticals, online selling, and other stuff that was the trend during the pandemic. It's like there was a pause button (heck it was even decreasing imo) for the poor while the rich had a fast-forward button.

Not that I'm saying the cause was only the pandemic, it just gave more opportunities for those with extra money to do business compared to ones who live from paycheck to paycheck.

None. If you were to pick one, pick the one that's the most hyped-up right now and relatively new. I reckon you can make a profit off of it if you were an early investor and people are relatively interested in it. Don't get any NFT projects that are pretty old, they're market is pretty much dead since the hype is all gone and honestly, that's what most NFT's are built up off, so without that, you'd probably just lose money if you were to try and hold on to it. I don't think hodling with NFT's are even a thing, it's probably one of the most "not" to do things in the nft space.

I reckon most businesses who would start accepting Bitcoin would always start using 3rd party services. I don't think they'd ever get the mindset to provide a system themselves when third-party services exist, not to mention that it would only incur more(probably) on their side if they were ever to provide their own.

KYC will always follow payments via businesses imo. That isn't going to disappear anytime soon even if businesses accommodate payments with crypto.

Hype. That's it. It may seem odd, or weird, but that's how the market goes. And investors with a lot of money can basically use that hype to well, hype it more up so that they can profit in the end by baiting new investors. It's basically a manipulation of the entire market of that certain coin imo, and honestly even if new investors realize that it's full of hype, it is a fact that they can make profit off of it if they were able to enter early on. Now the hard thing is figuring out that "early" part since really, most of the time they're already too late.

Good for you, but that doesn't mean that predictions in the said thread could always bring profits to others. Give yourself some credit OP, you finding that certain prediction on that big thread and trusting it enough to bet on it deserves some credit, at least on your part. I myself have scoured among threads when it comes to eSports tourneys but I've never really adopted a stance where I'd follow a prediction of a fellow forum member. At most, I'd consider it, but most of my decision making were made depending on what I know about the team myself.

It's interesting enough but is the NFT included in any say, idk, usable towards something e.g. a community or metaverse of sorts for that specific casino? Or is it just something like say, a collectible of sorts? Either way, it's an interesting way to use or adopt NFTs for gambling (or slot machines specifically). But that's about it, it's only interesting, not something that would actually attract customers/users in the long term, especially if said NFT doesn't exactly do anything or can be used for anything other than being a collectible.

It's something natural. You're losing something you're expecting to win, and with the involvement of money, you're expectations are naturally boosted, so the loss is naturally bigger than normal. It's not only in cryptocurrency really, anything that you do that you create expectations for would naturally bring depression to you when you fail to achieve that certain result that you want or expected. It's probably just quicker here in investing or in the crypto market specifically due to how volatile the market is, aka the scenarios where you expect to profit happen way more (and so as the situations where you lose money).

Nothing bad with it I think, just that greed on well, projects that you know would probably fall off in the long term isn't that good. Greed isn't necessarily bad, imagine if you pulled out when you made 5x more when you invested again, that's a result of your greed. You just made a mistake in judging on how long you should hodl it, and honestly, if it comes to altcoins, I'd almost always sell after making a profit, even if it was rather small, especially if it was a new project. Most of them are just full of hype and manipulated so whales could profit imo.

I think those are two different things though? Casinos can still be credible without being active in the forum. They just have to stay active in replying to their customers' queries and questions and that's about it. Now whether those answers would be using this site, email, or whatever various methods they could employ, it would in no way affect the credibility that they actually have. I do agree with how advertisements are popular here, they're pretty much another method to open up your site to potential customers.

I'm pretty sure any case of a sportsbook not allowing anything regardless of the type/event, like what you said OP, simply means that the results wouldn't really be fair in terms of the profit given and received by them. They may be a business for gambling for the users, but they're still a business in the end which aims to make a profit, so naturally, they would avoid scenarios where the rewards given to the users would result in a loss for them.

It might be allowed on some specific events though, not that I'm familiar with most (if not all) of them.

Unless you provide some method of verification that we can trust you or something, then there's absolutely no way your service is going to be accepted. Not to mention that it's also a service that offers to bypass restrictions, you're going to have fewer people who'd be willing to accept such a risk. You'd probably have better chances trying for people close to you or at the very least, who know you enough to actually trust you without presenting any actual proof other than your words.

Well if I had a course that somehow studies the mentality or something, then yea sure why not. Just that my mentality on what is ethical and not ethical is kind of straightforward and is pretty much based on what I believe it is to be, so I don't think there's going to be any deep diving that could go on there. Not to mention that I think it was simply awarded because of the idea behind it, and that is an avid prevention to loot boxes, which is imo, can almost be called gambling (meaning I don't consider it as one, but it's right at the border imo).
