2501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you play Slots? (long sessions / jumper / focussed) on: August 23, 2022, 03:29:09 PM
I seem to be in positions A and B, because I played the first slot until I got bored and nothing changed just resulted in a few wins and more losses then I tried another slot which was actually the same result.
and what is the difference with some slots and how long does it take me to get a big enough win and keep playing in that slot until I get bored even though I end up losing more than I won, and I try to move to another slot and sometimes come back to same slot ever visited.
and I play for fun and don't play often and also with a small deposit.
2502  Economy / Speculation / Re: I've been confused in BTC on: August 23, 2022, 01:35:38 PM
I am very disappointed with the state of Bitcoin in the current market. Because last week its price was 24000 dollars but now it shows 21 thousand dollars. I want to know from you, is the price of Bitcoin likely to fall further?
No one can give a definite answer because the market is not easy to predict, the ups and downs of the bitcoin price occur due to many factors. And only you yourself will find the answer and try to do your research and find the best information to calm you down a bit.
before you get involved do you understand and study well especially that the price of bitcoin is very volatile which means the price can change significantly from time to time, and bitcoin will be fine for the long term and take advantage of the downturn to buy it, and hold it.

Second leg for play off match today and as a host Benfica will more comfortable to faced this match because they already win 2-0 before and recently i had seen Benfica records that since last season until now Benfica can get 11 consecutive won so this proven they were quite strong especially play at their home ground and for today match Benfica had good opportunity to win the match but i'm thinking they will not force to win the match and want to playing safe so possibly they will playing more defensive than first leg and for bet purpose probably under 2.5 goals is good
Yes, Benfica's advantage in the second leg match against Dynamo Kyiv is because Benfica is the host and Benfica has pocketed 2-0 on aggregate in the first leg of the playoffs last week, and now is the time for Benfica to defend its position.
and Dynamo Kyiv have to fight extra because in a position behind them playing at home which I think is difficult, because Benfica will not let Dynamo Kyiv win and Benfica will continue to attack, and also defend.
2504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching Bitcoin To My Friends| You're invited too on: August 23, 2022, 12:55:04 PM
A good initiative, and indeed a good target for introducing bitcoin is the closest people such as family and friends. Because it's not awkward to teach it because we've met often and are also used to chatting so it's easier to explain it to them, and do it as usual when we get together and discuss. And the difference is only slightly serious when teaching it.
I also do this initiative with my friends and family and so far they have felt the benefits and can also exchange ideas when gathering, and my advice is not to be too serious when teaching so that they feel happy when we teach it, and also easy to understand because they are people -close people who I think is easier. It's different if we do it with strangers, there must be someone who doesn't appreciate or is indifferent.

Surprise today at Manchester United, when the players Maguire and Ronaldo are not played, they can get 1 chance to make a good score. Although the match is still long and currently Liverpool are more dominant in possession of the ball but clearly this 1 goal does not disappoint them, but also Liverpool won't miss today and they dropped points, so I think Liverpool can still at least score to draw.
The first half is coming to an end, and both still have chances to score, and I see Manchester United playing very well and the passes are accurate and the cooperation is better than the previous game.
1-0 to Manchester United through Jadon Sancho's goal in the 16th minute and thanks to good teamwork I think if Ronaldo started earlier there is a possibility to score again, because Manchester had some chances in front of Liverpool's box.
Liverpool have lost their game during Sadio Mane's absence, as he can provide good assists and can score goals.
2506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 22, 2022, 11:22:37 AM
The Manchester United vs Liverpool match will be a very interesting match to watch, and these two rivals are both still without a win.
but in the second game Liverpool were better than Manchester United because they only drew from two games with a score of 2-2 against Fulham and 1-1 against Crystal Palace, and for Manchester United 1-2 against Brighton and 0-4 against Brentford and one goal they scored also came from an own goal by a Brighton player.
and matchday 3 both teams are required to get full points, but for me Manchester United is very difficult to get full points because the opponent is Liverpool which is much better than the previous opponent. Even though Liverpool only got a draw from the previous match, Jurgen Klopp will soon fix it.
2507  Economy / Economics / Re: Why aren't people utilising cryptocurrency payment methods? on: August 22, 2022, 05:33:25 AM
The main reason I don't use bitcoin as a transaction tool is because it's prohibited by the government and there are no shops or anything that uses bitcoin as a payment method, but that doesn't mean bitcoin can't be used as an alternative payment.
although bitcoin is a very good investment and profitable instead of using it as a means of payment, we can use it secretly or can also use it unexpectedly which can really help us in unexpected situations like what I experienced here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5401052.0#msg60271061
and this incident was unexpected and helped me a lot.
2508  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of bitcoin rise again? on: August 22, 2022, 03:23:26 AM
It is difficult to know the truth about what is going on in bitcoin's current movement, as the market is unpredictable and the ups and downs occur due to various factors and also not necessarily accurate unless there is a sell-off when there is a slight increase.
and I don't have experience and also good predictions for the next bitcoin movement, and in my opinion as long as the bitcoin price is still below 25k it's still the right time for accumulation because the 25k price is bitcoin's goal to continue it to 28k or 30k.
bitcoin price hit 25k in no time then dropped again, and if it strengthens at 25k price for a few hours or days I believe 28k will materialize, and will still have ups and downs but won't go back below 25k.
2509  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The first physical business that accepts Bitcoin payments in my area. on: August 22, 2022, 02:23:51 AM
I quickly rushed into the shop and asked the cashier if what is written is true and she told me that I can buy any wine with Bitcoin. But the she has to call her boss who was not around for us to carryout the transaction since she knows nothing about Bitcoin. I was not happy because her boss have not taught her how to receive payments in Bitcoin. I had to take these memorable pictures and promised to come back later to buy maybe a bottle of wine.

If I were to guess, I'd say that they didn't have a Bitcoin-supported PoS system ready and the boss is just going to receive the BTC straight to an exchange wallet.

Still better than nothing though. Baby steps!
It seems so, and for some other reason maybe the store just has a bitcoin payment plan and a logo as a promotion that the store can accept bitcoin payments for the next few days until everything is done and teach the cashier how to operate it.
this is a good step and making bitcoin a means of payment has steps that must be well understood for workers, especially at the cashier.

Amazingly, Manchester City were able to equalize the score in the second half to 3-3 through goals from Erling Haaland in the 60th minute and Bernardo Silva in the 64th minute, with a difference of only 4 minutes.
The game still lasted about 15 minutes into normal time and overall Manchester City dominated the game and continued to try to score goals to win the game against Newcastle.

Honestly it is good to see that Manchester City can also get into trouble. If that wasn't the case this season could be turning into quite a boring one. But the game isn't over yet and I have this feeling that they are going to take home the 3 points eventually. Wink

I do hope though that Liverpool will beat Manchester United. Firstly, it would make the situation in Manchester become pretty interesting for people to follow, and secondly it would mean that Liverpool at least stays close to Manchester City. I don't see another team from the PL right now that would be able to keep up the pace with Manchester City for the whole season.
I also expected the same, but in reality the score remained even until the end of the game. And Newcatle was able to keep the score 3-3 until the end of the game very well.
Liverpool vs Manchester United will be their first win and it will be a very interesting match and I will not miss it, it looks like Arsenal will rival Manchester City all season if Arsenal can maintain their game which has improved a lot from before.
Liverpool without Sadio Mane is not as beautiful as it used to be, because Mane can contribute many goals and also good assists for Mohamed Salah.

Betting on football is a lot of fun, and many people bet on sports for this very reason. This is a form of entertainment for them, and they don't really care if they win or lose.
But there is no denying that they prefer to win, of course, but they are happy as long as they have fun and bet only to test their knowledge and skills in looking for information and statistics to bet win or lose they can enjoy the game.
2513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: August 20, 2022, 01:14:36 PM
Tottenham is not that great looking today despite that the statistics clearly are in heavy favor of them having won 8 of their last home games where they have scored an average of 3 goals per game while Wolves have just scored one goal in these two first games of the Premier League and out of their five last games away they have 4 defeats.Unfortunately the statistics are not being of any help so far but I hope Tottenham will win this game.
Im still watching right now. it seems like wolves is always being attacked by totenham but the defensive player is very solid and this time first goal already scored by kane for totenham. it seems like that totenham may win the game easily. I have no doubt about that. The fact that if totenham was always attacking wolves. How many score will be made by totenham in the second half.
1-0 for Tottenham's goal from Kane in the 64th minute and after getting 1 goal Kane was shown a yellow card.
in the first half Wolves played very well and also very solid but Tottenham looked bad, but in the second half Kane brought luck to change the score to 1-0. And if you look at the game, I think Wolves' game is very good compared to Tottenham.
2514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: List of psychological tricks that casinos use. on: August 20, 2022, 12:51:21 PM
I found this interesting read that there are  psychological tricks offline casino's use to make visitors spend more money, I have summarized the article and added the link at the end for anyone who wants to read more, Why? cos like I mentioned, it is an interesting read!

So some of these tricks are;
1. Enticing Design - You know casinos spend a whole lot to ensure that their interiors are exquisite and speak luxury, you always want to come back.
2. Lack of Clocks and Natural Light - No clock means you won't be able to know when it's time to go, the more time you spend, the money you spend.
3. Cashless Games - You buy credit for slots or chips, so you also may not be able to keep track of your money.
others according to the article are: Stimulating Lights and Sounds, Memorable Scents, Near-Misses, Familiar Concepts, a Sense of Control.
SEE ARTICLE HERE

Now I understand that Online casinos are not left out and also apply some psychological tricks on us. The aim of these topic is not to say that it is bad as all businesses have their methods to increase profits, but for us to collectively highlight some psychology that online casinos can use. I have identified some as they are similar to those the articles highlighted as it seemed to be mostly focused on offline casinos, they are;
1. Good and user friendly design.
2. Cashless games is definitely among.
3. Stimulating sounds seem to be one. (Please add to the list)

The clock is a trick borrowed from supermarkets,in most modern European supermarkets there are no clocks so people can buy more things,the same concept is applied to casinos because it is a proven working one.I think that what entices most gamblers in these land line casinos is what I see lacking here the free drinks concept.Most casinos where I live when they were operating as now they are all banned except the biggest one which is outside the city,they were offering free drinks and sometimes even snacks,I got there with friends and while I gambled a couple of my friends that were only being company to me were getting free energy drinks and vodka or whisky so this was why they came with me.I think this should be definitely added to the tricks casinos use to get more and more gamblers to play there and spend their money there.
Yes, one of the mainstays of attracting customers from casinos is that the drinks are usually free and there are also some free snacks, and that's usually in the big casinos.
In fact by giving out free drinks to customers, casinos help weaken the customer's decision making skills which means you tend to spend more money and time inside the casino.
and there's my park that bets its money on too much alcohol, in the bigger casinos, and the drinks are free because they expect you to lose because you'll be playing out of control and having a hard time concentrating. Unknowingly your losses include free drinks and food.
Casinos will use various means to attract customers and enjoy the amenities, beauty, fragrance and so on and go home with nothing.
2515  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best wallet for altcoins ? on: August 19, 2022, 05:09:55 PM
I think exodus wallet is an excellent choice for any cryptocurrency enthusiast, especially those who are just starting their cryptocurrency journey. Even as the user knowledge increases, exodus is not a wallet that will run out quickly and also needs to be studied well before using it, and I used it too but not so long ago.
and actually there are many good cryptocurrency wallets, but it all depends on the convenience and security of those who use them as well as their needs.
2516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Early Adopters rich? on: August 19, 2022, 01:38:17 AM
If they hold it from the start never sell it I'm sure they will be very rich when they hit yesterday's high ATH but it all depends on how many bitcoins they have and there have also been investors selling on ATH before.
And what is clear is that anyone who buys bitcoin as early as possible and sells it at the highest price will definitely change his life or become rich but it all comes back to how much he has.
bitcoin is still running which will provide opportunities for those who want to be rich in the future, most importantly buy and keep buying before the bitcoin price rises further and hold for the long term with patience and strong consistency.
2517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Btc crime on: August 18, 2022, 04:49:10 PM
There is no longer any connection between bitcoin and money laundering than between the US Dollar and money laundering. Bastards and criminals use all forms of currency.

Blaming bitcoin for a math problem or a computer program for someone using that tool to break the law is like blaming a screwdriver for someone who stabbed someone with that screwdriver.
and the problem that the OP mentioned is only cryptocurrency, not bitcoin because most people only know cryptocurrency is bitcoin, especially newbies who don't read it well before judging it is bitcoin.
2518  Economy / Economics / Re: Lenders and borrowers during inflation on: August 18, 2022, 04:33:25 PM
Traditionally, borrowers have benefited more from inflation, because the money they pay back is worth less than when they borrowed it. That is why, when inflation rises, the interest rate charged by lenders also rises.
e.g. If I borrow 3% money to buy a house for $50,000, and inflation rises to 6%, over time I have paid back significantly less than the purchasing power equivalent of my original loan.
2519  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: August 17, 2022, 06:59:24 PM


I just did a few spins and then kept buying features, I think I spent about $80 before getting Max Win. I was also quite surprised to see the results I got, on other sites I usually have to spend more before getting Max Win (this is a natural thing and should be). Maybe I just got lucky to get max win by spending a little money.
Each casino has it's own working and you were lucky on Rollbit that you somehow managed to gain that much with $80 so congratulations on the same and it feels good when fellow gamblers share their winning experience and it also boost the casino reputation in the market attracting more players.
Yes, he was very lucky and maybe the luck at Rollbit is on his side and congratulations to you, and I'm also glad you share your winning experiences even though most people's losses are always invisible.
it's good to share your winnings not only here with the aim that many people see and have the desire to try and get into rollbit, and even though all casinos are the same but if people see more people who get wins in it surely people will be curious and try even though it is luck.

Wow, I never knew this was the story behind FedEx. This is quite interesting. Although not everyone has such a good luck especially in these kind of situations luck really favored Smith.
Also, it was his smartness at that moment that he decided to stop gambling more after winning $27000. May be he could have lost it all if he would have gambled more.
He made the right decision to invest that amount into his company and the growth he is seeing in his business these days is due to his smart work. He deserves it.
That's true that luck are sometimes hard to attract or find when you badly need a money and then you gamble your last money, usually you can only lose but not for this guy. Despite knowing that the 27k was still not enough to get the business running properly he still discontinued gambling and invest the money on his losing company.

Luckily he overcome its issue that time, making the company running smoothly again. If those winning moment happen to other normal gamblers I think they will get overwhelmed and forgot their true purpose on why they gamble and want to earn some money but they will continue till their wins turns into a loss.

That's exactly where most of the gamblers tend to make a mistake. They don't quit while they are in profits.
They keep playing and eventually lose. If at all most of them start to quit when they are in profits then casinos will turn out to make losses instead.

Yes, gambling will make us have a high curiosity which is actually a trap, I mean many gamblers don't think when getting a win is luck and instead turn luck into defeat and even lose everything.
when we get a win that's where the real luck and the action that must be taken is to stop when we get a victory, in order to get a complete victory. But most of them continue to play out of curiosity and hope to keep on winning which is actually greed that will cost them.
