261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 07, 2023, 06:47:39 PM
This year, Manchester United brought in quite a few recruits. Recruits are unfamiliar with Erik ten Hag's journey. They couldn't find a bridge to bring them together. Look at their attackers trying to find a goal. It was so luxurious that they missed many scoring opportunities. Goals are the motivation for the whole team to work hard.
Defensively, I would say things have gotten better. When Harry Maguire and De Gea. are missing from the list of starting players. If the situation of the whole team does not improve, it will be easy to receive heavy defeats against big teams.
Erik ten Hag's efforts to unite players to become more cohesive in the team really have to be done, because every player who is recruited into the Manchester United team for this season is for the sake of making the team's appearance better than last season. However, Manchester United's performance seen at the start of this season was still not that good because maybe the players were still not very used to Erik ten Hag's direction so there were still many things that Erik ten Hag needed to improve for this season.

Last year there was a big story with Ronaldo and a seemingly restructuring of the team - so many were inspired by TH and believed that thanks to him, United was on the rise. Therefore, many (players) perceived his demands for discipline as adequate. But I see that this season the dreams are dissipating and United will most likely hang around 5-7 places again. In such conditions, I don’t think that everyone will perceive TH tolerantly and conflicts will arise within the club. Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but this development of events seems logical to me.
I see where you are going but i feel ten hang still need some space and after all united did perform a little better but the only issue they were having was the inconsistency that the team always face, one moment they are very good with their gameplay and the other a total shit hole and this has been the problem of this squad and I feel ten hang needs to work on that.

Being in the standings number 11 makes United worse and this season has been a bad season for United. MU is lagging behind compared to other teams. Manchester City still holds the top ranking. And to be able to overtake to position 1 requires quite a lot of effort. MU is no longer said to be a big, deadly club. MU is just a Red Devil who has no self-respect anymore.

To avoid all this,  it become paramount to only abide by one rules which is to keep Bitcoin in your wallet and stop looking for investment that are centralized to reduce your risk.
Well thats a good advice but I doubt that can be followed for some degen or those who used to investing on altcoins. We all knew how powerful bitcoin is and its the leader of the whole cryptomarket. Doing dca for bitcoin isnt bad but altcoins has a potential for a multiplier gains. Well last bull run it did occured on some and its really boosted the profits of every investors. Its just a matter of proper due diligence which project is gotta explode when the bull run happened once again.

Like memecoin which suddenly exploded and gave many advantages to those who entered at the beginning of the project. and even entered the Binance market, making it even more hype. Many altcoins are actually good and will provide multiple benefits when the bull run arrives. Just need to monitor and do DCA on Bitcoin or on Altcoins with good upside potential in the future.

Yes I agree with you. Diversification is great but diversifying too much will not bring you any benefit. If one coin goes down in price and several other coins go up, of course that's not a good thing either. You won't really make a profit by diversifying a lot.
Just have your portfolio in 3 or 4 altcoins like CRO, XRP, MATIC and Vechain. It is my asset and I think it is the best altcoin in my opinion.

Yes, 3-4 portfolios seems to be enough, I'm also just one of them. But the selection of what Coin you want to hold is your own responsibility. If you believe it, do research and make sure the project continues and has good development.

XRP is definitely not the one I would have picked there. I have always said that four horseman of crypto is btc, eth, bnb and ltc because those are the four that is known the most and loved the most with as little questions as possible.

I know that it is going to be a tough thing for a lot of people to accept that but XRP has been a scam ever since it started, I do not think that it would be something that could make a profit that easily and we should avoid it as much as we possibly could. I know that it is not going to be a simple thing, but I can't really make it work that easily neither, it just doesn't seem to be possible for people to understand why they should stay away from XRP, so I just let them be and learn themselves.

I am also aware that XRP is not an option for everyone, I am just referring to what the OP said, I also have very little XRP and hold more BTC, ETH and BNB, and LTC seems to be a good option for the long term as well. some coins will provide maximum profits when the bullrun comes, we just need to wait. But stay away from some coins that are not recommended

You need each of those things that could make a game in your favour. Money and luck is always important but strategies is the most important thing cause you may not lucky everyday but a good strategies could bring the game in your favour or may save your from losing more. Casino can be played with multiple strategies but you need to know Where you Should stopped cause keep multiplying your fund for recovery loss might be reason of losing the whole balance. All depends on your strategies which always plays significant role.

Unlike trading, the casino has a lot of risk. Multiplying capital to get profits will not go well. Carrying out financial management needs to be done so that you don't use all your money for gambling bets. Even though 50% is influenced by luck, sports betting requires analysis and several strategies that can be applied. But for some games like slots it depends on luck. Strategy does indeed play an important role on all kinds of trading or gambling platforms.

I want to ask those of you who have a hard addiction experience in gambling and then you can treat it yourself, and today still playing gambling but with the principle of good management and financial management in gambling.
I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"

I do not necessarily think that one can step away from addiction, or at least not forever. Addiction is an intrinsic human experience and as much as we dislike it, unless we tread carefully around the traps of dopamine abuse, we can easily become addicted to whatever the source of the dopamine rush was. For some people the lure of addiction is much stronger than others, so for them, it is just best to avoid things like rewarding your own bad behavior with dopamine-releasing drugs or actions.
 

So drugs are an external influence that can speed up the addiction process, I also just heard about dopamine which influences the addiction process and has a bad effect on anything. It acts as a sedative so you don't panic too much when gambling, always calm but has a bad effect. this will be a more complex problem, not just gambling addiction but also drug addiction.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What makes a crypto project reliable and trustworthy ? on: September 06, 2023, 12:54:25 PM
Crypto project can not be trusted fully. People usually invest a crypto project with this believe and prediction that, this project will long high & bring profit for them in future. If that project fail to developed itself with times then people move on to new project that comes with new facilities and opportunities. Even so many top cryptocurrency scammed till now, while Investors strongly trust those projects! Only Bitcoin Can be trusted, although it can also crash (ex: from $20k$ to $3.5k)

Fraudulent projects will only have a negative impact on the crypto ecosystem. so many new projects appear and new users start logging in without any analysis or research at all, so it is easy for them to be conned with the promise of greater profits. the need for initial education about crypto and the dangers that must be avoided so that they can invest in the right assets. Bitcoin is the main suggestion, but some altcoins are also good enough to grow profits.
267  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Earn an apartment in a bear market on: September 06, 2023, 12:27:17 PM
My portfolio consists of BTC,ETH,XRP,SOL,DOT,XLM,ADA
Your choices and options are too many to me, it increases the risk you will face and makes it so that if you are not careful, you will just be consistently loosing the capital you want to invest, and then you will not be able to meet your target of getting a house.

If you must invest in Altcoins, invest in a few (One or two), it reduces the risk and make your investment easier to monitor.

BTC, ETH and XRP seem to be enough, too many coin choices will indeed be confusing. But let's look at the potential of each top altcoin, it will provide double profits if in the bull run season all altcoins rise. You just need to choose which one is the best and use it as your main investment. Be wise in choosing altcoins and make sure you don't put all your eggs in one basket, there are many baskets to choose from to maximize long-term investment.

I really believe that asking this kind of subjective inquiry will only result to tons of spam opinions that doesn’t really came from a gambking addict user. More or less you will only get an opinion from a signature campaign poster that posting in gambling board for the sake of gambling post requirements even though they re not really gambling.

Don’t gamble if you don’t want to be addicted. Asking an advice from a previous gambling addict is a waste of time since experience teach them how to overcome it that means you will need to experience it first before you overcome since addiction can’t be fight while you are not starting yet on your gambling journey.

It seems you read the situation with this thread well.
Do you have to ask for advice directly? Because many former addicts have given their advice to other people and these people spread it through the media, through books and several articles. Or ask a psychologist who knows more about addicts, it doesn't mean the psychologist has ever been an addict. Addiction cannot be fought, but it can be prevented with self-awareness when they get into gambling. They must know what the risks are.
269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 04, 2023, 10:00:26 AM
That is easier said than done unfortunately.I had a colleague in my office a couple of years ago which was heavily addicted not only to gambling but even to other bad things like alcohol,we kept talking to him a lot to change direction,not only us also his family as they were also working with the same company so he got daily a lot of moral lectures yet he continued to gamble and drink alcohol until one day his heart ceded and he has passed away at the age of 52,a young age I would say.This said story I posted here to show that it is with the same difficulty that is to convince a drug addict to persuade a gambling addict too,when the level of addiction is really high. 
It's quite sad about the story of your colleague who became a gambling addict until he died at the age of 52. Every effort was made to get him to stop, but nothing could get him to give up gambling and alcohol. It's easy to say, but in practice there will be various kinds of problems and obstacles that arise. It depends on each person's heart. Your colleague may still not find comfort other than gambling and there are other influences such as alcohol that make him increasingly out of control and maybe some drugs. Special rehabilitation is needed so that acute addicts can live a normal life without gambling, drugs and other negative effects.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 04, 2023, 09:03:58 AM
~snip~I fully support what you have said about how much the community cares about the addict but usually in some countries that prohibit gambling it will be very difficult to find people around who help gambling addicts to recover because the people around think if it is their own fault and go back to what What I said at the beginning is that only friends can help when you do not have family.
If the gambler has no family, his friends, relatives, neighbors may come forward to help him if he tells them about his situation. A relative of mine was going through a bad situation due to gambling addiction, then with the support of his family members including me, he learned self control and now he has come out of this situation. But it required a lot of time. So in this situation, if the gambler can be given mental energy by the people around him, it gives very effective results, so that he can quickly change himself. I found it very effective.

Whether it's difficult or not depends on the people around you, but it's not that difficult, there will definitely be some people or neighbors who can help. A gambling addict is not like other crimes such as drugs or a fugitive, he is not dangerous, he just needs counseling or needs moral support so he can come to his senses and return to a normal life. Everyone has faults and they also deserve a second chance.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 03, 2023, 07:37:34 PM
Self-controlled is the only effective way to stop yourself from gambling completely. No matter how strongly a gambler is addicted to gambling, it is only possible to get out of gambling completely if he believes in himself and resolves to be free from all negative activities. But if self-restraint is not possible to get out of gambling then he must take motivational advice and talk to a good motivational consultant and then take effective measures.
No one can get rid of any addiction by self control alone. If a person becomes addicted to gambling and he wants to stop gambling completely then his family will be the most helpful for him, because in such a situation no one can stop any addiction without the help of family. When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, the family has to bear the consequences of all his mistakes, so the family is the first to try to free him from this situation.

Yes, but the importance of self control is very important, if he does not have self control, then no motivation will be effective for him, he will go to a worse situation day by day.

But, if under different circumstances the gambler has no family, then how will he recover and be free from addiction?
Of course this also depends on how good the neighborhood people are. and the people in his circle are also the most important and determine whether he can change or not. Self-control is the first thing you need to realize to make him stop gambling too often. good steps also need to be taken to change his mindset, such as coming to a psychologist to ask what is happening to him and reveal that he cannot be separated from gambling.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Socialtournaments-A way to stop gambling addiction on: September 03, 2023, 06:49:18 PM
I have no idea how can free tournament help addicted gambler, afaik when someone is addicted (no matter what kind of addiction), he/she should start to leave anything related to the addiction.
Dont you think that it will not make them at all because they will still playing slot games although they do it without risking money?
Afaik it will not help them to reduce their addiction but it will only help them to spend less money for a while only, once the free tournament is over then they will continue with their own money.
To stop addiction effectively, gamblers should start from themselves by a great will to leave it step by step.


You are right about that, with a tournament even though not risking money it is the same as still playing slot games and has no effect to leave the game, in fact the addict will be more active in participating in the game and more likely to be able to return to betting with money.
The correct way is to change all the addict's activities, which were initially full of gambling games, into activities that are more useful and not related to any gambling games. it will help reduce their addiction and slowly forget about gambling. it's not good if you have entered the addiction phase, it will be a bad and uncontrolled life.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: September 03, 2023, 06:14:02 PM
<snip>
I think yes, since they are one the factors for a team to win, it just meant that their attendance affect odds of the match. Moreover, they gameplay and the list you have provided also affects the odds. Why? They are players – they have an impact to the odd's calculation, and if you will think of the game's odds base from players, you should also have to know if they are star player or not. Surely, they increase the odds of winning of the team that they are in.
Star players will always be star players and can influence opportunities, and within a team, having star players will increase the players' self-confidence. They can play better because their performance has also increased with the presence of star players. This will affect the chances of the match against the opponent, so the team's chances of winning will be greater. This is a psychological game against the opposing team because they will think that the team with star players will perform better. Usually, the opposing team will pressure this star player so he can't move as agile as usual, and the coach is aware of this. But that doesn't affect the other players because they will help the star player.

For a team that has star players it is kind of a good strategy to implement. Star players serve as bait so that opposing players focus on star players and other players can freely arrange strategies to attack. In fact, star players on a team will have a good effect on a bet, but also look at the condition of all the players, what strategies are used. It's useless to have star players if you don't have the right strategy.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 03, 2023, 05:50:04 PM
What I do hate is when a gambler acts like he knows it all on how to bet on games, like his own prediction on bet is the best, and final. Whatever correction or suggestions you bring to his notice, he would counter it, making you feel less of yourself that you don't know what you are doing concerning betting on games.

That kind of attitude display pains me to the bone marrow

Absolutely agree with you. I also do not like overconfident people when it comes to gambling as luck plays a very big role in this area. That's why you can never rule out that even a professional's bet may not play out. But I am very amused to see these overconfident gamblers at the moment when they lose their last money. The faces of these guys perfectly convey the resentment they feel.

In fact, the probability of losing has nothing to do with self-confidence. Rather, self-confidence in gambling as in everything else depends on a person's outlook on life - an optimist always thinks about only good while the pessimist is always ready for the worst case scenario. It is likely that these self-confident gamblers are optimists in life, so we observe such behavior.

It's like there is no doubt in him when gambling, even though every gamble will give results that we cannot predict. Being too optimistic is not good for a person's mentality when in the end he experiences disappointment in his beliefs. The effect is that the psychology will not be stable, such a gambler will become a gambler who believes too much that he will always win. There are times to win and there are times to lose, it's just an opportunity and each opportunity will give a different result.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 02, 2023, 09:14:36 PM
As for me I dislike when gamblers complain of their losses, meanwhile you hear them complain when they are getting winnings.
I also hate the gamblers who blames us because they get losses. Moreover, if they ask for help or they follow the same way with their own intentions. They know that there will be always no guarantee for wins. But when they really get losses, they don't want to accept it and blame us. It is like the lazy gamblers who always want instant wins but they never accept the risks. To be honest, I will never to share anything again with the typical gamblers like this.

I believe no gamblers will complain when they win. Why they complain? All gamblers expect for winning every gambling game, but it is always not easy because no exact way to determine the wins.  Grin




The attitude of a gambler that I hated the most is that when that gambler loss their bet and then we you talk and shared your experience on that game suddenly he rise his voice and get angry because he will not able to cash out because all his money will gone. And then when he light up you are the one who is being victim cause of his attitude. Then that's the reason why I dislike that kind of gamblers.

Such gamblers are temperamental gamblers who take out their frustrations on other people regardless of who that person is. They tend to get out of control and go crazy when they are angry. Losing a bet is certainly a very annoying cause. Many gamblers have bad attitudes when they lose, but being crazy and temperamental is an attitude that cannot be forgiven.
276  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Are some cryptos decentralized while some are not? on: September 02, 2023, 07:48:04 PM
Honestly, the term decentralized is being used and abused by many project developers. They tend to mention that they're a decentralized project but lies behind that, they're not. Bitcoin is decentralized and that's what the meaning of it. And don't buy onto those projects that have been labelling themselves as a decentralized project. Another thing, DeFis are no longer a thing today.

What was originally decentralized then changed to centralized because of several changes made. Related to the ecosystem is the POW consensus Network change to POS and Bitcoin stays with POW and ETH changes from POW to POS. However, when it comes to exchange platforms, exchanges such as Binance, Coinbase, etc. are centralized, and there will be many obstacles and risks that could occur. Not your keys not your coins. and projects that claim they are decentralized must certainly prove it by the consensus network they use

There's a lot you can do to become a crypto influencer, but it's not easy. It takes persistence to build your own brand, build your network with lots of followers and provide useful things for others. It's not easy to build your own brand, you also need a partnership with a well-known influencer and there will be a price for it all.
The ability to discuss crypto, provide your own analysis, create quality content and explain what is happening in crypto, all really have to be mastered. Influencers will be role models and they should know about everything related to crypto.

The faces of these guys perfectly convey the resentment they feel.

There is a very popular saying that- it is good to be confident but it is very self-destructive to be overconfident, I find that to be true almost all the time. First of all, no one actually should gamble with the money that they worked really hard to earn. Secondly winning money by gambling is definitely not going to be a regular thing for anyone. But the thing is once you are winning, you are already hooked. You are going to gamble even if you keep losing, in the hope that one day you will earn so much that the losses are not going to mean anything, but sadly for most people that day never comes. So it is better not to gamble the money that you can't afford to lose.


Addiction and becoming a gambling addict, it is a problem that will be complicated and be the beginning of all destruction. When gambling has reached the level of addiction and is never satisfied with the winnings that have been obtained initially, gambling will always be carried out without any further management. Hoping to get a bigger jackpot.
I played slots without any strategy, kept playing and playing even though at first I won and made a profit, but playing continuously without a break made all profits and capital run out in the game.

Actually believing is good, but not good in some ways that must be forced when gambling. Too confident that they will win and get lots of jackpots. Even though it was just luck. Many make big bets and confidently laugh and belittle those who place small bets, even though every moment in betting such as football or horse racing can change, luck is the first. Feeling too confident will make anyone mentally down when they lose in the end.
