2501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use bitcoin when gambling? on: November 11, 2023, 09:54:17 PM
A straight answer to your question would be a Yes, in crypto gambling most persons still use Bitcoin but the most common I have come across is USDT that has been the common one I've found amongst gamblers mostly on most crypto gambling platforms but some still uses Bitcoin.

Personally I use USDT and Fiat but it varies depending on the gambling platform I'm using, sometimes for the sake of convenience I just use fiat because it's most compatible with my card most times but if my picks for the day have their options on the crypto platform I wouldn't mind I will fund my wallet and gamble with the crypto platform, so basically it's a mix and whenever I choose to use crypto I use USDT
2502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? on: November 11, 2023, 09:47:22 PM
I base my question about whether a gambler can become a good bitcoin trader, because both of them share one factor which is risk. A gambler is a risk taker, he stakes his money without knowing the outcome of the game that he is about to play. There is no guarantee that he will win, yet he goes ahead to play, knowing fully well that he can lose his bet. Same thing with a bitcoin trader, he goes ahead to engage in trading knowing fully well that the market can turn around  negatively for him, making him to lose his bitcoin. Yet he goes ahead to trade in the hope of making profit.

Although there are some differences between the two, like most gambling depends mainly on luck. You play and let luck decide fate of the game, that is the risk factor, because the gambler doesn't have any control or influence to determine the outcome of the bet. Also a bitcoin trader doesn't have any control or influence to determine how the market swings, he takes the risk to trade his bitcoin without knowing the outcome whether it'll be profit or lose. The diffidence between the two is that a bitcoin trader can predict the market, while a gambler can not predict the outcome of a bet, except in sports bet.

So if a gambler where to go into bitcoin trading, do you think that the experience of taking risk in gambling will be an added advantage to face the risk of bitcoin trading?
Firstly you risk experience is not all you need as a trader, there are people who have been into very risky business and professions aswell and when they eventually ventured into trading, all that didn't really mattered, because the risk in trading could be seen in a different perspective.

As a professional trader, it's never your risk is always defined even before you place a trade and you are most likely knowing where your trading is going and what the possible outcome could be, but in gambling your risk is not always as well defined as it can be with trading regardless of your experience or how well you have been in the game, so when it comes to risk management and definition, they are not the same with gambling and trading.

While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.
This will really not work for everyone because some persons don't care how much they went through to make the money, whenever they have decided they want to gamble ,they just go all in straight as some of them are even prepared for what ever the outcome may turn out.

But then I think it's a helpful tip especially for those who apply discipline to gambling and wants to be more responsible at gambling, they can use this tip and see if it will work for them. But to be able to keeps to this tip they will need self control and discipline because if they don't have any of these then they will most likely not be able to keep to the tip, they may continue to further be reckless with their stakes and gamble as they wish.
2504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 11, 2023, 09:31:56 PM
I have the believe that success in gambling requires a mixture of luck and skill. This is opposed to some people that believe that gambling is entirely a game of luck and others who believe it is entirely a game of skill.

So I am tempted to inquire if skill is all that is needed to be successful in gambling or luck. Whichever be the option, which of them is the most important factor for gambling success?
Luck usually is a compliment of skill, if you don't have the skill your chances of been lucky are going to be really slim, although we know that gambling has more to do with been lucky but then you have to be skilled at some point to be able to get an edge they will help you be lucky.

So personally I'm of the opinion that a perfect mix of both is very much needed in gambling as either of them are not independent of themselves, you can be very skilled yet you will be unlucky and can have no Skil and still be lucky, but when you are lucky without been skill, your luck becomes  inconsistent, you can't be consistent with your luck as much as you will when you are skilled, but they are both need if you must be successful gambling.

Girona keeps maintaining their winning streaks to make sure they continually occupy the top spot on the league table, they are currently at the rop position ahead of Real Madrid with two points ,they have 34 points while Real Madrid will be having 32 points if they win today's game

Girona started off so well this season and have maintained their performance so far which have earned them the top position on the league table. Real Madrid tonight is performing so well as they are already leading by 4 goals in the second had of the game already, they have dominated from the first half and are still doing same in the second half I'm very optimistic they are getting three points by the end of tonights game.
2506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 11, 2023, 09:05:38 PM
It is most likely that things will go south after you win because the excitement of the win will definitely put you in a psychological position that will make you see the wins as easy and then the money starts redcuing, in a bit to want to meet up with the amount it was. Thats gonna see you loose even more.
I agree very much with you, so many gamblers see it that because they won at that time, it's very possible it continues in same manner that they will win more, not knowing that gambling is more of luck than it has to do with your logic, this is usually common with newbies in gambling.

Whenever they gat they first timers luck, it drives them to think it's that simple and if they continue that way in lesson than no time they will be able to amass so much funds from gambling until they start loosing then it will dawn on them that there's more to gambling than just Beginners luck. It's possible there are time's you would have series of wins consecutively but it's not a guarantee that you will continually win.

Manchester united had a good day today, they had a win against lutton but then their performance wasn't as much as expected of them for a team that is considered this week, it's expected they win with much more goal difference but they were able to win with just a goal.

Although Manchester united dominated greater part of the game as they had most of the possession of the ball but lutton did put up a strong resistance against them such that they were unable to get more goals and Manchester united seem not to have a very good tactics and style of play that would help them achieve the kind of results expected of them, ten hag need to further work on his tactics as it looks poor currently.
2508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: November 11, 2023, 08:54:22 PM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
If they bet and win the question is who pays them, it's going to look more like recycling of funds because wether they play and win or not, they still get paid daily from the losses of other people so I don't think they really do or if they do maybe they try it out just to catch some fun.

I don't think there would be any conflict of interest and there's no policy set by the casino that restricts certain calibers of people from gambling especially the owners of the casinos, because for land casinos where they have gaming house, some casino owners actually play in their casinos and they don't don't it unethical in anyway as it in no way affects the customers or the reputation of the casino or its owners.
2509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: November 11, 2023, 08:45:16 PM
This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue
Don't allow yourself get to the point of addiction because it is when you get addicted you then start to put up habits as drinking and others probably to help you was off the pains off your losses which on the long run you never get to forget those losses by drinking or drugs.

Most times these guidelines help to gamble responsibly but it's sad that most persons fail to be disciplined enough to want to keep to these guidelines which would have helped them become better persons regardless of their gambling habits, discipline is one key factor they should be considered because you could have a strategy and plans as well but if you are not disciplined you will still fail at it.

And for Brighton, this is a big opportunity for them to focus well on their the European league because the European league is one of the opportunities for them to win trophies this season. In the domestic league, of course Brighton has no chance of winning the title because other team are stronger than them, so the European league is a place where they have to fight as best as possible this season.
The competition at the Europa this season is very tough as compared to other seasons, because there are many big team in their good form participating in the Europa this season, and others who are playing in other leagues aswell.

They will further channel their energy into getting the best they can from the Europa, thereby increasing the competition in the Europa then it is now, I think after the group stage, the competition may get even though and Brighton may not have that form to stand the pressure that may come with it, so I'm no thinking they stand a chance to win the title as against other bigger team there fighting to really get the title.

More la Liga game took place today, but yesterday atletico bibao had a tough time with celta vigo which later ended in their favor bay a goal difference, AthletiCo bibao is a very good team int he la Liga and has really did so well with their performances so far this season.

The match was characterized with too many goals, seven goals and it happens to be one of the heights number of goals scored in a single match in the la Liga this season, although it was a total from both team. For a team battling to leave relegation I must say celta Vigo did tried to get as much goal as they got from a team they was way higher than them, if celta Vigo possibly wins their next match, they are most likely to leave the relegation zone on the table.

PSG now finally at the top of the table with a 27 points as against 26 points that Nice currently has, I was thinking Nice would be able to maintain the top position on the table for awhile but it seems PSG is back and ready to displace them for a good period of time.

Nice has really been awesome this season and has tried to maintain their pase in the race to the top as they have more wins that draws and they are yet to be beaten this season, for them to be able to maintain their position well enough, they would have to continue with a winning streak but it seems PSG is gradually getting back to the peak of their form which will mean they re not dropping points anytime soon.

Harry Kane has to be commended for his performance so far in his team because he has been of great help to his team and his contribution to the success of Bayern Munich since this season can't be overly emphasised, he is indeed a brilliant player and show it in almost every match.

Bayern Munich did well as usual and got many goals as they have been doing in recent times but I expected they had conceded leaser number of goal with a team such as heidenheim , a team that was just recently promoted to the bundesliga, with the squad Bayern Munich has got, they should have one or no goal but then I aswell commend heidenheim they are really showing they could do better in the nearest future.

Juventus is still yet to give off the brilliance in their performance as expected but the good thing is they are still managing to win and after today's match, they succeeded in getting to the top of the table after gaining three points from their match against Cagliari .

Juventus is actually improving with their performance but it's really good they try to stay consistent with their winnings even if their performance on the pitch isn't brilliant but they are getting results and that's what's most important, Cagliari is a weak side tho but not to be considered very weak they were able to dominate the match more than Juventus did and almost shared points with Juventus but seems Juventus just had a lucky day.

Group C having Real Madrid and Napoli at the top of the group with good points enough that shows they have obviously qualified for the next round of the champions league, Real Madrid is up above 10 points and Napoli is up with seven points while Berlin and Braga are way below.

I really don't think Napoli will make it pass the round of sixteen in the UCL, it really good they were able to get pass the group stage but it could be seen that they at some point had to struggle with getting past this stage due to recent crisis faced by the team. Real Madrid seem to have it seamlessly scaling through the group stage and they are confident with their form and performance the could possibly make it pass the round of sixteen too.

It seems like the red card Tottenham suffered in their last match still gat an effect on them as those players were unable to play in this game against wolves and wolves aswell had the home advantage which seems they did utilized well enough to secure three points.

Wolves had a weak and poor start this season and are currently looking like they are already improving in their performance, as in their last two games they have performed a little above their previous performance, this win against Tottenham will definitely improve their confidence and boost their morales well enough to further show improvements in subsequent games after this, I hope Tottenham recovers from their loss soonest.

Once they chose America for hosting the 2026 World Cup many people were worried about taking a visa for America because they knew visiting this country was not easy like other countries but the positive point of choosing America for hosting the World Cup is about more potential they have in their countries and America won't need to build many stadiums like Qatar did years ago also America got the experience of hosting the world cup.
American has got the infrastructure, resources and the capacity to host the world cup and it was enough reason why they were choosen, they also have gat the experience so it would be hitch free with their logistics and Planning so it will be much better hosting in US

The issues with visa is something I'm very sure FIFA is very much aware of the issues with Visa and will definitely find a way around it so as to enable others participate in the world cup except for the players. Even the American government are aware of how well it will affect their economy and reputation if there are limitations to number of people who could possibly attend the world cup because within that period of the world cup there will be an impact on the country generally.

Bilbao and celta Vigo, are two average teams, Celta Vigo haven't won any of their last five games and are currently at 18th position but with seven points with three loss and two draws, they have both alternate winning against each other in their last meeting according to their H2H.

Celta Vigo is still at the relegation zone on the table and may likely be relegated as they have just seven points after playing over nine games, but atletico bilbao will still not go down to celta Vigo if they loose this match, bibao will be struggling for draw, although they have got the home advantage but I don't think it's possible Bilbao will win Celta Vigo.
2519  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: November 10, 2023, 07:38:47 PM
Sometimes for security reasons gamblers do behave like this so they can possibly stay safe because winning big amounts especially in offline gambling house attract so much attention because the news of such will definitely go viral and people will know you won such amount.

It's way private with online casinos and gambling sites as they will pay the money straight in to your bank account and except you let others know they wouldn't know you won such huge amounts of money. So that's basically why most of these gamblers avoid their friends when they have such big wins, except for families and probably very closely friends they don't keep up with others so they can be sure they remain safe even with their big money.

Liverpool is not a club that will be out too soon from the Europa league and I know that they have that confidence and that was why they cared less about yesterday's match in terms of winning or nor because the outcome of the match wouldn't affect their position on their group as they are still the first on the group. I believe that Liverpool should be able to win this league this seson.
Yeah it's true Liverpool is very much confident enough and definitely is not looking like they are leaving the Europa anytime soon but then I think this is the only time klop is allowed to make such mistake he made yesterday because if he must win the title then he should do better.

Now I think he knows better that with his second team, there's little he can achieve unlike with his main team so it's more important he take it very serious to making sure he achieves the kind of results he desires by using his main team. Although the boys yesterday tried but that is not the kind of results Liverpool needs to win this trophy, they need some more consistency with more wins even tho I know their confidence is still up there they need do More.
