Will change sig and avatar on accepting. Thanks

I agree and I am not having any second opinion on this.

But the actual problem is (like why I made a head up here), terms from the first-post of this topic and terms in sheet are contradicting.

By observing how you are counting posts, I conclude you are following only sheet's terms. Hence, I request you to update the terms in this topic.

Over all you are emphasizing like,

Only 2 posts from gambling section per day is counted. More than 2 from gambling section per day is still counted as 2.
Similarly, only 2 posts per day from gambling discussion (and more than 2 posts there still counted as 2).

Only 6 posts from other "allowed" sections per day counted. Making more than 6 posts in other allowed section still will be counted as only 6 even per day allowed limit is 10 (as remaining 4 quota is belonging to gambling and gambling discussion).

If my observation is not right, please correct it.

Diversifying will ensure that your luck to favor you regardless of one of two assets in your portfolio may fail to perform as per your expectations. The purpose of having more variety of assets in portfolio is balancing profits and losses in perspective thinking this way we may try our luck factor to be in favor of us all the times.

If you are referring diversifying in terms of price levels but with same crypto, that is being termed as "averaging". Diversifying is all about dealing with multiple coins/assets or even with multiple types of investments like 25% in crypto and 10% in real-estate kind of spreading out way of our capital. Hence, it has nothing to do with same crypto.

Yes, in a sideways markets, stoploss might lead to unnecessary losses whereas I always strongly suggest stoploss for safer trading in a leveraged trading. Moreover, for crypto trading, when you are able to hold your assets infinitely, I believe there will be no need to go for stoploss given that you are trading only highly potential coins which are having assured future like bitcoins and ethereum.

Stoploss is necessary where you are unable to continue trading like leveraged environments. Trading safer is good always, for that stoploss is helping us to prevent big losses whereas for a long term based markets, it seems unnecessary with some conditions. In short, if you are shorting cryptos then you must use stoploss without any secondary thoughts.

I don't get whats wrong with it. Being number 1 for buying and selling is exactly what volume is. What else do you think volume should represent ? Being number one is a shot at bitcoin that is for sure but whats wrong with bitcoin being number one because it is the most bought and sold coin out there.

If you think it is there because people use it to buy other coins and sell other coins you are very wrong because there are plenty of exchanges who allow you to do the same with plenty more other coins as well. Hence bitcoins only reason for being so high is not that and also lets not forget that bitcoin always had a higher volume than other coins while most of the top 20 didn't even existed. Hence, there is no point of arguing if bitcoins volume is legit or not.

This must be a ridiculous discussion as you people are really entertaining with your imaginations for the event of winning €18.9 million by spinning a wheel. I honestly say for last 15 to 30 min I was living in some other world and I really for some excitements which are a better feel than what I usually do get out of my gambling by spending some bucks.

Not sure, for what purposes this topic was created but it is definitely a better way to go through the mind set of different gamblers as most people are not sure what they will do when they become a millionaire. Probably, I was like these people before entering into crypto space but after realizing the potential of bitcoins and I have earned my first bitcoins, I have decided what are things I must do once I become a multimillionaire.

There are a lot of practical difficulties in implementing decentralization concepts. We start from decentralized exchanges to explain in better way. Even in decentralized exchanges we are needing to trust a centralized authority and at the time of actual exchange we need to hand over funds into that authority. So that we still need to pay a fees for exchanges. Similarly we cannot expect a decentralized gambling environment where we will not be having any house edge. It will be there for sure.

Playing against your friend or colleague must be the real way of having be centralized gambling as there will be no one there to control you both and you will never need to pay any fee in the name of house edge. I mean to say blockchain technology will help us to have improved gambling environment but that does not need to be a decentralized one.

I guess you should count all the gambling posts made in a day toward 10 posts per day calculations.

Let me explain with example :

1. I make  all 12 posts in gambling section within one day in forum time.
As per OP, you should count 2 posts toward daily gambling requirement and total 10 posts for eligible for weekly count. (remaining 2 posts should not be counted for 50 limit).

2. I make all 10 posts in other eligible sections excluding gambling and gambling discussions.
I guess you should still count them toward weekly 50 limit.

If I fail to make at least 1 gambling and gambling discussion post in first 5 days of a round, I will NOT be eligible for payment as on 6th and 7th day, I can make only 2 gambling and gambling discussion posts per day.

This is what my understanding from OP. But, sheet says like if make 3 gambling posts in one day then you will ignore 1 post. But, for a gambling based advertiser, you must encourage more gambling posts rather than just 2+2 per day.

I love it when websites make both the investment and the winner announcements together. At one part you are telling people they can come in and win money here by showing how this one person made so much money from playing the game, at the same time you are telling people how they can profit from gamblers losing money all the time .

I mean its both quite true and there is nothing wrong with it considering yes there are people who make money from gambling and yes its true that there are people who lose gambling and thankfully the losers are more so there is a casino business around the world because of it. Just because people lose doesn't mean you will lose when gambling and just because there are few winners out there doesn't mean investors will lose money. It is just funny when they are back to back .

Yes, money management is more important in gambling as it is only point where most people are failing to control themselves and then finding them addicted to gambling. Every gambler must have their strategies on how much to spend for gambling and how much you may target on the event of profits or how long they may keep trying on the event of facing losses. Yes, everything should be based on pre-determined calculations so that they can stop gambling at tight times.

Yes, your strategy must work on enabling you to have control on your gambling and it may not be a profit cracking strategy. When you are having all the control on your gambling then you may easily find both entertainment and some profits.

What about the scenario where you gamble alive with your friends ? That also will be having same mechanics ? Live betting can be in multiple form hence you cannot have a single judgement on this. In my country, we do not have big facilities to gamble physically hence if we look for live gambling experiences then we may need to gamble within ourselves and we do find same results of online gambling as it is seeming relatively profitable compared to online gambling.

It is also about satisfaction vs time-pass. I mean even we like or not, online gambling are here to play to kill our boredom. I like physical betting but that is not available to me all the times I look for. So, I am being enforced to gamble online as it is readily available all the times.

Poker requires a marketing that needs to go get the poker players from other places instead of actually grabbing the poker players in current crypto space. When you create a brand new dice game for example, you can get other dice players from older dice websites that are bored with it and want to try something new, even blackjack can be considered like that, the market is big enough to get more and more dice websites (some of them will survive while others will die quickly) but poker is not like that, when you want to start a new poker game in crypto you need to get people into crypto as well as into your website which is a lot harder because they are accustomed to play with fiat so playing with crypto will be harder for a lot of poker players. The current poker base in crypto is not big enough to sustain too many websites, hell even one website.

I like how this ratings actually get checked constantly and then the ratings of a place drops according to the accusations they have. I do not see too many times a sportsbook actually went up a lot, like no one really goes from being an F rated or D rated place to an A rated place, I haven't read all of the pages and do not remember everything but I think that probably never happened but we have seen plenty of places that were really liked by people actually dropping a lot and going away to D or even F ranks.

This is why everyone who likes to play on some crypto sportsbook should check this place before they decide where they would like to play, I play on nitrogensports but its not religiously there and if I see them get accused of anything and see their ranking drop here I am more than willing to change depending on their rank here for example.

Staying away from bounty hunting must be a good idea in my view too. Yes, it is really too hard to fish in this dying industry. Probably, it will come back to alive but only after certain amount of time like only after bitcoin and other major altcoins will be finding its positive trend until then, it would be much better to stay away from bounty hunting so that we can save our energy and time.

That is the real problem here. Even I was also keep on trying but out of 10, even one project was also not able to pay me for my efforts and time consumed for promoting them. It means almost 99% of them are not able to sustain in this bear markets. Hence, it would be much better to stay away from them.

If someone is just "too new" they should not give up on the top 2 coins.
Always get bitcoin and ethereum, you don't even have to get ethereum neither, start with getting bitcoin and looking around.

First thing you always should do is to get into an investment like bitcoin before deciding on what else you can buy because altcoins could be very profitable but at the same time they do posses a danger of eating up half of your investment in a week as well. Hence after getting bitcoin you should start doing your own research yourself.

A single coin could never be the answer to this because all coins have their times, one day this coin could be potentially best investment the other day some other coin could be like that, hence there is really never a coin that is best for all the time.

I think I can be considered a hodler. I am not keeping ALL my money in crypto in there but I try to earn as much as I can from crypto and keep some of it there and some of it I cash out because you know... I need to eat? So I can still be considered a hodler since I don't cash out all of my coins.

I think not cashing out is a big part of bitcoin community, we need to make sure bitcoins always stay in our wallets and only used to buy stuff and not trade for fiat. I do not understand people who trade for fiat and so forth without a need, if you need the money yeah it makes sense but if you are doing it just for profit then it makes no sense since bitcoin is itself money like dollar is and I would rather see a world where I can spend bitcoin wherever I go instead of a world bitcoin worth a lot.

Negative news doesn't have that much of an affect neither ?

I know people attribute this new fall to CBOE EFT deal however if you look at the historical data, you can clearly see that even before CBOE EFT got withdrawn from contention the price was already dropping and around these levels which means that wasn't the cause. Hence, we can clearly see that the ETF we were all waiting so much didn't get accepted and the price didn't even budge, which means we are not in a bad situation right now, yes positive news are not making the price go higher however negative news are not making it go lower neither. We are just stuck here for time being and will be here until something major changes in crypto.

I doubt neither going down or going up would have any affects on long term price right now, we can be $3k or $4k today and it still wouldn't change the future of bitcoin.

Honestly, the problem is that there were too many new people during the peak times which ran away when the price went down. We can't really fix that until we have ourselves new people again and this time we need to make sure they don't leave.
What we can do is to get more places accept bitcoin, more people adopt bitcoin, more shops taking bitcoin and so forth which will make bitcoin go more steady instead of built on hype.

Now, that big corporations get into bitcoin and also heavily invest into blockchain as well, we can see the small and steady increase in userbase for bitcoin which will make it go back up again but this time with proper reasons and now just "YOU CAN GET RICH IN A DAY" type of hype. If those people who got into bitcoin during late 2017 didn't ran away screaming on early 2018 we wouldn't be in this situation.

Yeeey Pats won!! I actually hate Pats and a big Lakers fan so it was a tough call but on betting you need to leave emotions aside and this showcased how without emotions one can become a better gambler. I normally play on NBA games and a big fan of Lakers and I would preferred rams winning over pats because of whole Los Angeles vs Boston in sports history however if you stop and think it was clear that on this stage of the game (superbowl) pats have a lot more experience than the rams.

Rams had a QB that was younger than me which I really can't trust whereas pats had probably the best QB in sports history (arguable but still up there) so even tough I supported rams, I bet on pats Glad I decided on that and now I can just count my winnings all day today .

I feel like gambling for the jackpot is really not that worthy, after all it all depends on the jackpot multiplier you pay, you can pay 2 satoshi or you can pay 0.000125 bitcoin for jackpot and no matter which one you do in the end the cost would be higher than the effort, if you play 2 satoshi and try to hit it, even if that 1 in 10000 comes in at around 10kth mark that means you must have spent 20k satoshi to get there whereas you get like 10k satoshi in return only.

It means if you want to profit from this you need to be so lucky that something that is one in ten thousand chance should happen before five thousand bets are over. Hence I think playing regular hi and lo without adding jackpot is much more fun to me, I do not add extra loss to the account which allows me to win or lose with a better odd betting.
