I still prefer to buy a house. Because living in your own home is more comfortable and free. But not sure, everyone is different. Some may choose to rent an apartment, or some may also choose to buy a house.

Depends on one's comfort. If he is comfortable with his own house, he will definitely buy a house. And if he is comfortable with an apartment, he will live by renting an apartment. But it all depends on the economy and one's circumstances.
Free? I think you need to pay taxes too if you have your own house and lot while this are not experienced if you will only rent a house. The owner of that house are the one's that will pay it. The only catch is that you are also paying them for staying there.

You can still live comfortably because some owners will allow you to redesign the house. Other reasons on why a person prefer to rent a house is that they will now be closer to their work area. They can save transportation expenses this way and it is still possible for them to invest in bitcoin. Btc isn't that important but a shelter is. Once everything is settled, that is the time we can invest peacefully with btc.

I agree with your opinion. The question is, why do things like this still happen so often, and why there are no rules about this, because this kind of thing happens very often, and it's easy for people to do shillings, by registering a new account as a sacrifice.
I do not know if that question is for trolling reason, but don't you know there are some people that are new to something and do not know the right step to take and need a reputed site for something because there are scam ones? There are people like that. We should not because some people are bad to condemn everyone to be bad. If the answer to this kind of question is provided, there is nothing bad. It is a good means more people can know about good crypto gambling sites like Trustdice.win.
I too agree with your opinion. The op can be sincere with his question but the last thing that you said seems like an obvious shill to me, sorry. For threads like this one, it would be better if we don't mention one site especially if that site if the one that we wear in our profile/signature, only for us to not look biased and people won't suspect us or put a hate on us.

Hi guys currently I'm looking for a site to play using crypto since I've stocked up quite a bit any recommendations?
I think that was stuck up not stocked up. Unless you're also planning to stock up on some cryptos but gambling isn't the best way of doing it since gambling is a very risky activity. It's only meant for fun and great to do if you are stuck up for now. Just don't over do it because it was also addicting. Good luck Wink
2543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you get over a bad loss? on: October 21, 2022, 09:25:01 PM
I lost 500$ in a minute trading an altcoin, this is the money I planned to use for buying at least three different altcoins for long term, when I lost that money it hit very hard, I kept remembering for the whole week, I believe it's not the money I was prepared to lose. I hope this answers your question, if you are able to get over a loss very quick its because you are prepared to lose the money.
I believe that there are some people who don't move on fast after they lose the money they are prepared to lose for. I'm pretty sure there are people who are regretting their actions even they are prepared for the consequences. I've been on that situation multiple times before and I learned my lesson hard and learned to control myself from the temper of not spending money that I don't afford to lose.

Usually I do take some breaks after having a bad loss, Thank to God I have a limit on what I spend on a casino. This helps me move on fast now and just recover to my normal state after I have a bad loss.
Exactly. Many times I allocate a small amount for gambling but even though I know that it was only a small amount, I can't help but to overthink about it. I really don't know why it's happening to me. I even explain this to the people around me and they think I am getting crazy now Cheesy and they say the same thing, that it was only a tiny amount. I think if they have some cash that time, they will just give it to me so that I will stop whining out lol.

It has to do with our temper and not only about the amount that we lose in gambling because there are also people who lose big and manage to stay calm after it. To cool my head down I will just eat cold foods like ice cream. It works like a charm for me.

I have this feeling that he might still be back at the next World Cup, but in a different position Wink

It is very likely that he is not going to play another World Cup, but looking at it realistically, what else should he answer? Perhaps he stays incredibly healthy, extends his contract and still performs for PSG and the fans want him, how will he decide then?

I think we should appreciate that he will be around for one more World Cup and then it is about following from season to season like we do with Ronaldo. They choose different ways to communicate, but I think Messi's way is less confrontative and might some day turn out to be beneficial.
As player, he is already announced this is his last world cup and with these hopes are high for better results from him and his side as they are already in top four with their quality and skills but what would be happened no one can predict because we have four years and in this time many changes can happen to him and related to soccer, so we have to wait for his next movement with most chances as right now things are happening in PSG he will stay there for few more seasons, and they will try their best for having Champions League title which is surely the most desired trophy for their management.

If his health and body allowed him then surely we can expect something positive from him for the next world cup which is going to play in the USA, Canada and Mexico but this all depends on because few years back he announces retirement and then comeback to play now this can happen again as currently he is fit and have enough quality for play some more years.

In the 12th match of Group B, Scotland and Zimbabwe are facing each other today in this match. Scotland won the toss and batted. Scotland lost 2 wickets after playing 6 overs. Everyone says Zimbabwe is an easy team for Scotland. But I think so. It is not right to underestimate the opponent team. I see Scotland's batsmen are still in good form. But I think Scotland have to turn the game around to win. Scotland can give Zimbabwe a target of 150 to 160 runs. Then Scotland can be expected to win
I put Zimbabwe ahead of Scotland. Scotland have so far managed to collect 100 runs in 17 overs, which is a very low run in the T20 format. I don't know how many runs they will collect in the remaining 3 overs. But if Scotland want to win, they will have to bowl brilliantly and take Zimbabwean wickets quickly.
In last few months we have good change from Zimbabwe in this game and change of strategy and better coaching giving them good results even they are still not good as they need to be but positive things happening for them, and they are on track for having better future now it's all on ICC how they respond to teams which are clearly going with their native players and have potential for giving good results.

Today Zimbabwe done good job in bowling and restricted Scotland to 132 which is good success for them and after having batting they lost two early wickets but again here Craig Ervine and Sikandar Raza done good job and give them success in this match with this now they are in main round of world cup at the cost of West Indies success by five wickets with 9 balls remaining good for them, and they could be felt confident in main round.

I think the games that I consider that have an ill luck are limbo, crash and slots. I know many will disagree or hate me for this because some of these games are popularly being played by the public but guys not all have us have the same taste or shall I say luck.

I don't know why but whenever I stick on playing those games, either for a normal play or a challenge, I never get any decent win or qualified in a challenge that I join but for other games I can win on them naturally like for example in plinko even if I know that many people do hate this game because they think it was rigged as fck but believe it or not, I can get 1kx (the highest multiplier) on it.

Welcome to the forum.
Trying to access your website and it's taking a long time to load properly, I use a VPN.
Are VPNs allowed at your casino?
and why when clicked your link I am directed to the domain vavadakos.com instead of vavada.com?
I will say that it's depends on where you are, because sometimes environment matters, is like this forum i over heard some people that they do access the forum with VPN, but in normal circumstances as a newly established website it's not supposed to be accessed with VPN especially the casino side of it. It supposed to be like other websites that use casino for exchange of things from my understanding, the site the more functions or maintenance, so that it will not be difficult to be accessed
The first few words that you throw are right. He uses a VPN, that is why his url have changed. I didn't use a VPN and tried accessing vavada.com and the url is the same once I entered the homepage.

There are countries where bitcoin and cryptos are not allowed and the government blocked all access to it, that is why people are using a VPN to access bitcointalk and crypto gambling sites but there are people who have done an abused in the past and their default IP address are now banned. They try to create another account again by using a VPN. It does not matter if the site is new or old but sometimes it was about the legality of crypto and gambling.
2548  Economy / Gambling / Re: Vulnerabilities in gambling websites in past on: October 20, 2022, 09:05:04 PM
As I mentioned earlier - one of the vulnerabilities is hacking and scamming.
For anything which involves finances - there are always ways to scam people and getting benefit out of it.
I will not disagree with you in such statement because i know quite well that we have an anti hackers who is paid do such, people who hackers also no how to stop, so therefore it's not easy in this era before an individual or group will succeed in hacking a particular function that finance is been involved, because everyone who create or builds a site, the primary thing that comes to it's mind is to create another function that will protect it's site because of hackers.
Anti hackers or white hat hackers are paid to improve the sites security and I think they can also be paid to track the bad hackers or the black hat hackers. This era we have now where people are now getting closer to the internet, actually makes hacking more prominent but along with it is that the securities are also being improved to prevent them.

When we create a site, we shouldn't only focus on the service that we will provide but we should also pay attention to it's security. This is important because an easily hackable site is a turn-off to our customers but if they find out that your site's security is robust then they will be confident to stay on it.

This is a good suggestion, but unfortunately the BCCI doesn't want the second string players to visit foreign nations. A few weeks ago, the West Bengal cricket team got an invitation from the Namibian cricket board to visit that country. But at the last minute their participation was cancelled due to BCCI refusing to approve the tour. The importance of U-23 and A team tours have gone down in India. And it was a big loss for the younger players, especially the ones who are not suitable for the T20 format.
It feels to me that the India cricket board does not give enough importance to players in the pipeline at all. That, I think, is a very big issue for all the countries in the subcontinent. One of the reasons why India does not feel too much of the effects of the economic downturn is because they have a very large population. As a matter of fact, it is very easy to get talented players on the team even if they don't care about the second team players. It is always going to be the players who are genuinely talented who will come forward to lead the team. Especially in T20 because IPL is a suitable platform for that.

Those who wish to step up through 50 overs cricket or test cricket, on the other hand, may find it very challenging to do so. Because all the spotlight almost always gets taken by the IPL. The other players have a really hard time making a name for themselves in the game.
There is no doubt BCCI is currently world's most rich and powerful cricketing board but sadly due to political influence they have never been ideal sports authority for young emerging talent because they never want to spend money on these projects which is surely a matter of concern for them and pipeline players those need good intention and better facilities few weeks back I was reading here few Indians were feeling India could be like the USA in basketball, but they are forgetting how they are spending money and have better facilities and sources for their new generation players but here most of the time we have personal ego's and political influence which is more important than the game and it's better future.

Even they can do much better and surely can start their future plan for results like the USA has in basketball but here we need professional peoples and sports lovers here all going against these things, so I have feeling IPL can give them billions of USD, but results not like the USA.

It is possible that there is someone in the world who will begin farming this year. Grow and sell a harvest. To produce more next year. Who will possibly become a millionaire through the process. Rising cost of oil and difficulty associated with shipping food products from overseas could all contribute to making it possible.
That is an interesting take on the global food situation we are facing this year. Food price have been rising for years now, but the rate at which the prices seem to go up increased a lot since the Ukraine-Russia war. Starting to grow and harvest your own food locally could be a good idea to reduce food prices if you have the land to cultivate it.
That's because the war affected the oil supply and like @hydrogen said, it affects the shipping of the products making the price rise evenly but other than oil, there's also products which are affected like the wheat, chips or the one that is found and use in computers and other electronic devices and many more. Growing your own food won't reduce the food prices but you better say that it reduces your expenses because you won't buy them this time.

The only problem is the land. It will be hard to plant a crop in the modern areas because they are mostly occupied but you can invest a land for agriculture purpose on those rural areas if you are truly serious about this.
2551  Economy / Gambling / Re: List Of Crypto Casinos with The Best Faucets on: October 20, 2022, 05:52:52 PM
We have updated our faucet function and would appreciate it if the newly updated amount is reflected in this thread.
Yes, I can fix that. I can see that the faucet amount is now 0.00000046 BTC instead of 0.00000042 BTC as it was in the past. That's equivalent to $0.01. Is the faucet configured to give out $0.01 worth of BTC, or will this sum be a fixed one in the near future? 
Many will be glad thinking that it was some sort of a mini boost but for me it wasn't actually. The real reason of this increase is due to the value of btc which have dropped a lot these past weeks/months. The figure above shows a lot of zeroes but it's quite surprising that its dollar equivalent is still $0.01.

I think this was decent compared to most other faucets that I've tried nowadays. They can give amounts which are lower than that but the question now is what is the next waiting time for this once we claimed this $0.01.

Maybe it was also long but that was reasonable after all so that people will got turned off to abuse this. Faucet are meant for something anyway and not as a source of income. I think $0.01 isn't fix but they will keep on adjusting it depending on the price of btc.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and decided to bat first. In the batting powerplay Sri Lanka have scored 36 runs without losing wickets. This is a good start, as there is no wicket fall. This will help them develop momentum and go for big shots at the right time.
Srilanka was far away from a good start. They have already lost 2 wickets and now they are struggling to get singles. The fielding and bowling of the Netherlands have been outstanding. The pitch is working very well for spinners which will be a relief for Srilankan spinners. A target of 140 runs would be a good score for the Srilankan side. 51/2 in the 9 over does not look easy for Srilanka to reach 140.
Sri Lanka is not playing like an Asian champion they are far behind which game they play in the UAE against the toughest team in this sports today as they were batting against the Netherlands I was really upset with their way of batting even pitch was slow and having some impact on batting but still suddenly they are down in their quality and need to be done better if they want to have better results in this event.

In first ten overs just 60 runs is never been good batting against minor like the Netherlands, and then they added 102 runs in last ten overs which give them relief, but surely they are under pressure and looking for development which is essential for having better results after giving target like this they have done good batting, and now they are in super 12.
2553  Economy / Gambling / Re: Regulations & Gambling projects on: October 20, 2022, 06:06:01 AM
When regulation takes a hit on crypto prob in few years from now what will happen to gambling projects like Roobet and others? I've discovered one gambling project claiming to be regulated but there is nothing to prove that, anyway, can regulation affects gambling projects in future that's all I seek.
That will certainly affect gambling and that only happens if strictly implemented by the authorities. But guess what, this will increase illegal gambling on the other side and this make hard to control once it started. I'd see a lot of gambling projects will tend to stop or collapse but this is not even good to look at as this will also stop people from working there.

It has a positive outcome but also it creates more on the negative side.
There are two possible effects of it. One is positive because it means casinos can now be more legit and it will now be easier to identify the fraud ones. The scammers, launderers and abusers are also going to be caught out because KYC is going to be implemented and this is the second effect which is negative because many are not fond of sending their KYC. They think they are threatened of doing it even if the casinos are already trusted enough.

This is when illegal gambling will pop or the casinos which doesn't require a KYC because they know that there will still be a huge demand for them. Players must be careful since they will be hunted one by one.

Even if Arteta fields his third eleven those player's are highly spirited they have no chill at the moment as you can see the desire in them wanting to win game's. PSV are good side's, very good with counter attack's if they don't handle the game well, PSV will capitalized on that and score goals. Former Man United player van Nistelrooy will face his old rival's can he handle the pressure when the Europa League resumes nest week
Okay maybe not that much Cheesy I get that Arsenal is doing awesome this year, and they are quite hyped, but I would say maybe a few players missing would be the best they could do.

Their biggest advantage is that other teams in the premier league that are their rivals for the title plays in UCL and care about UCL a lot more, City would want to win UCL more than winning EPL for example, whereas Arsenal would be happy to get Europa, but would prefer to get EPL instead, and that is why they will play their best 11 on EPL, whereas City would play the best on UCL, and this is why we could maybe see a shocking loss from Arsenal on Europa time to time, maybe even eliminated.
2555  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Bear Market More Important Than the Bull Market? on: October 19, 2022, 06:46:31 PM
Bear markets always tell opportunities for those who are late. For me, that is how it's supposed to be.
If by any chance you pull some courage to purchase then do so. There are investors who now regret they didn't buy at this stage or the other timelines where Bitcoin was cheap. I won't be a hypocrite because I am part of that regretful people.
We might not know where Bitcoin will go in the next year or a couple but I am sure it always goes back and more.
Bear market and bull market bring out different opportunities that will make us all profitable in the long run. Just always buy when there is bear market and take time to sell when there is bull market, that way you will never end up losing. However, the sad part is we don’t know actually the bottom price to buy and the peak price to sell, that some end up selling and buying at a wrong timing. But one thing is certain, we may commit mistakes and losses for some time, but eventually we learned from it and get through it.
That’s true, each of them have their advantages and disadvantages. If you are in a bear market, that means you have the chance to buy bitcoin for cheap, and that’s a great thing and you need to do that, but if you stay too long then it’s going to be like "alright I already bought as much as I can, let’s go up already!" and that’s understandable.

If you are in a bull market you could go up to a point where you profit a lot and that’s good part, but then you will crash hard so if you miss the exit you are going to lose profit a lot and that’s very risky. So, each side has its own advantages and disadvantages like I said, you just have to time them very well.
2556  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin 13 years ago... on: October 19, 2022, 04:58:43 PM
It's really regret for those who learned about Bitcoin in 2009 but didn't hold it. At that time many had enough money but didn't collect Bitcoin because they couldn't trust it. Today they feel that their golden period has passed. Now those people only regret. Time once gone never comes back. So we should give importance to the present and get better in the future.
Instead of losing hope about making that kind of profit again, and being hopeless and being sad at all times, just realize that bitcoin could still make you some profits and invest anyway? I mean just because you forgot to invest 13 years ago, or didn't invest 13 years ago, doesn't mean that you shouldn't invest right now neither.

If you invest right now and make 5x return instead of 50x return, that’s still good, it’s better than any stock that could profit you, or any other investment. That is why I am still in full support of bitcoin and everyone should be as well. Do not consider yourself as missed an opportunity, consider yourself as you have a chance in the future.

Barcelona is in a lot of trouble after losing against Madrid in the last match. They may lose their position in the points table. Barcelona need to get back on track very quickly. Champions League matches are a must-win for them if they want to qualify for the next round. At the same time, if they cannot maintain consistency in La Liga, they will lose the second place in the table very quickly.
Barcelona has their first defeat of this season and things looking not good even now they have no chance for losing their spot because right now they are second with 22 points and no other team can challenge them just Atlético Madrid was having chance but last night injury time goal give them shocking draw, so now they could be dropped to fifth with Betis and Sociedad can do better performance against their opponents for having higher spot.

Suddenly too much talk about Barcelona after their first defeat of this season even they still have ability to fight back in La Liga, but many peoples are feeling it's failure of Xavi and his strategy which is surely not good as they are still in development process, and they have long term planning which is surely going to be good for them in near future.

Having a team on a roll would work greatly, Liverpool was never a bad team, sure they had a bad start to the season but that doesn't make them bad right away, it makes them just underperforming and nothing else. They had a few good games, and that Rangers huge win just caused them to liven back up again, which means we are talking about them having a good track record for a while now.

Obviously lost to Arsenal, but won the other 4 or so games if I am not wrong. That’s why I believe they will easily win against West Ham too, to be fair they have to, because that would take them to closer to upper ranks, if not then it’s going to keep being horrible for them.
Agreed about Liverpool and their issues but right now they need to be done good work for having better spot because we have few teams are surely doing good work and most chances they will keep things like these in this season which can create problems for them if they want to go into top four as right now we can check Newcastle United, Tottenham and Chelsea are doing good job and having amazing performance which is indicating how tough is this season in presence of world's best quality players.

Right now, just Brighton which is fail to stay at their best and can drop from Liverpool in case of their win against West Ham United in tomorrow match, other all teams are on good track and no easy to replace in top six spots.

Benzema's performance last season really stole the attention because it was thanks to the goals he always created that always made Madrid even rise from falling behind in the Champions League like when they faced PSG and City in the knockout phase.
This is clearly something that is very good for Benzema because it can be said that even though he is not young anymore, his contribution last season was really extraordinary, even if it could be said that the only thing that could hold Benzema back last season was only an injury that bothered him a bit. it doesn't exist anymore so it's a fair tribute to Benzema.
There is no doubt he is one of the most ambitious players in current era and deserve this award for his performance for Real Madrid which won two top titles in last season against all odds, and he was surely at his best here we have two more amazing things which needs to be discussed as he is second Muslim player and second from France and also Real Madrid these three things are surely amazing for Zidane and Karim Benzema which have this award and from their same prospective which needs to be mention as this could be also good for millions other which are doing their best for having high goals in their life.

Real Madrid is having hobby of doing amazing things, and they could be carried on with this all because they are special around the globe and their last performance against Barcelona is also giving them good positive change because they can do this again in this season and then surely we can expect something same from any player from this club for next year as well because they are again at their best in this season.

Speaking of USA, I like some of the stars from the USA squad, London Donovan, Clint Dempsey and one of his legendary goalkeepers Tim Horward. however, now they have retired from the world of football. to be honest we very rarely discuss the US here, maybe because it is not one of the top teams that will win this championship.

without intending to belittle, all participants who will appear in the world cup later have prepared everything in order to play optimally. but again I must say, without intending to underestimate the team from your country.

US chances to win this championship seems to be far from expectations. if we look at the group occupied by US, US chances to qualify from this group stage is not easy. there was England there was also Wales, but Iran seems to be our exception here. at least the US must beat Wales if they want to qualify with England to the next phase.
I agreed here about the USA they are not best team even still they are in top 20 but here it's not easy for them to qualify for next round because they are going to face England and Wales both are very strong teams and having quality players those can give good results at the end of the day for their teams even they can beat Iran and stay at third in their group, but currently they are in development process so not easy time for them in this world cup, but surely we can expect good from them at home in next world Cup which is good for them.

Here most chances England could be at the top of the group with Wales and USA match could be decider for who is going to stay at second which is surely not easy game for them Iran is also not having good time because their recent form is not good for having any upset point from this group.
