261  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 30, 2024, 02:49:43 PM
The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.
Same here, I undertand the risk of being addicted in gambling but it still happened to me. I got addicted, gambled money that I cannot afford to lose anymore (that's the bes sign) and have had countless regrets before I finally resolve my addiction problem. I didn't let people know about my addiction, they won't notice anyway since it's online gambling, and I'm lucky that I was able to resolve it my own.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

All they can do is ask us if we understand the TOS, and if we click yes, they are out.. They are in a business to make money, so the moment you click that yes, you are already expected to be responsible and understand the risk.. If there's any agency that would help gamblers, that the rehab, but they are their to help people who are addicted, not the prevent.
262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can we still truly achieve anonymous gambling in crypto? on: March 30, 2024, 01:29:59 PM
Achieving complete anonymity in cryptocurrency gambling is challenging due to the public nature of blockchain transactions. While some cryptocurrencies prioritize privacy features, achieving absolute anonymity depends on various factors including the specific cryptocurrency used, the platform's implementation of privacy measures, and external factors like regulatory scrutiny.
It was the regulatory factor that kills anonymity. Because even if the blockchain is public, no one would have an idea who are the users of the transactions in the blockchain, but once you got into the KYC requirement of either a casino or exchange, it would be easier for the government to link transactions to you as they have the power to inquire information and direct the platforms that they regulated to comply.

264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rolando Romero-Isaac Cruz to meet on March 30 in Las Vegas. on: March 30, 2024, 06:58:30 AM
The weigh-in,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6TlenFg6Mc

138 3/4 pounds for the challenger Pitbull Cruz. Romero at 139 1/2 pounds. And then Romero giving the middle finger to Pitbull, LOL.

Romero might be the champion here, but he is a big underdog against the pressure fighter in Pitbull Cruz. Do we see a new champion this weekend? Or Romero retaining his belt (this is first time defending the belt).

Of course we will see a new champion and Pitbull will have a big fight next because he will become a champion. It would be easier for him to get a rematch with Tank Davis in case he still like to be the underdog and try to beat the undefeated boxer.

Cruz is so focus, he is like a pitbull that continues to attack, so I wouldn't be surprise if we see a KO here and this fight will not go to distance.
Judging on the way these two fighters fight, people would choose Pitbull because he is a very aggressive fighter and he gave Tank Davis a very tough fight that some even think he had won. Now,  he is back again in a championship fight, being a challenger but listed as a favorites, bettors really know what they are doing as betting with Cruz is worth for our money even if he will not suceed because we will certainly see him working hard looking for that KO, in short, he is not boring.


What's the best rounge range for Pitbull Cruz to win by KO, 4-6 or 7-20?

How about 1-3? Kidding... well, if I would choose between the two, I'll take round 7-10... not 20..  Smiley

The Miami Heat beating the Portland Trail Blazers by sixty is crazy. The largest win in franchise history. A lot of the damage was done by their bench too. I guess you can say the Damian Lillard trade hasn’t quite paid off for the Trail Blazers, who have struggled pretty bad this year. Even Ayton who had been playing well didn’t do much tonight.
And that would also say a lot how strong the Miami Heat is, it's not only their dominant win because they also dominated the Cavaliers by 37 points. .. But them making a history for the franchise, that was insane. I am now convince that the Miami heat is still a championship team, though they might struggle in the NBA finals as they failed twice already (not even close) but in the East, the Celtics have to be prepared for them, or the Bucks.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? on: March 29, 2024, 02:11:55 PM
AI will not make anyone gain an upper hand over the house, that isn't possible, especially when it comes to gambling games, because an AI model cannot be used to change the algorithmic outcomes that are automatically generated using random number generators. So, games that we play on gambling platforms and their outcomes will always mostly rely on luck first and then the algorithms that they are built upon.
That would not be called as a house edge anymore if there's a system that could beat it. That house edge thing is has been there ever since, so no one could beat that, otherwise casinos will go bankrupt because of AI. Sometimes it's misunderstood, not because an AI can do a lot of things to make our job easier it will beat everything, maybe some but not the gambling industry.

If we can make an AI to work on our favor, I'm sure casinos are also exploring that possiblity to gain on their favor.

An AI model can be useful for a sports bettor for doing research and analysis because it can grab and bring data and statistics from all around the internet in a matter of seconds and the bettor then can evaluate those results and reach a conclusion for their bets.
True that would help, if we use the information effectively, that will increase our chances of winning but will never guarantee a win.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 29, 2024, 01:20:13 PM

For me it's a combination of factors, like you said, Ime Udoka bring his experience in this organization coming from Celtics (which he brought them to the Finals but lost eventually). And then Brooks, who could lead and probably this is what he is doing right now and doesn't want to create anymore distractions. And Jalen Green, highly touted coming in the NBA and supposedly should win the Rookie of the Year. But now everything is working out with them. The experience of Fred VanFleet and Dillon Brooks to lead the not so experience team right now.

Yes, the experienced of both Fred and Dillion gives them that matured approach on how coach Ime wants the system to work for the entire teams, we seen respect and trust with all the players who are inside the court, with that good development, this young team might continue to developed and their quest for being a playoff contender might be shaping now, I like the way they are bringing the competition and with all the players are contributing with the roles that they are being assigned, we will see more good games from this team, and maybe the chance of taking the last spot for the play-in still on the process.

I'd say it's more on the coach, because before coach Ime Udoka got kicked out from Celtics, he was already building a championship team and that's what the Rockets have probably using, I mean the system. They figure out how to win and now they can't lose, this streak I believe will continue and the Warriors are a high risk of getting replace.

Even with experience players but without a great coach, nothing will happen to a team, that's why when a coach is not delivering as expected, it will likely replace the sooner but Ime Udoka is still with the team and might get an extension due to what he has achieved for this young team so far.
268  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: March 28, 2024, 10:47:44 PM
Risk is when a person is exposing him/her self to dangers, possibility of incurring loss or misfortune
So many people run away from business opportunities just because they fear they will run into loose and didn't want to take such risk
I have come to the realization that the word risk is part of life and that it is better you take part in it than not
From history it has been said that the great entrepreneur and business men/woman where all risk takers when you take risk you throw your self to the real of possibilities
Risks are inevitable. In life, there are possible risks that could lead to success if you are aware on how to overcome those risks, but if you are being fearful taking all those risks, then most likely you will not achieve something significant in your life. While risks can be powerful, but it can also mess up your life if you are not smart enough to beat them.

All businesses have certainly its risks. But as long as these businessmen learn to take calculated risks and never gets fearful in dealing them, expect that the business will progress and eventually create its target profits, but for those who never gets to deal with risks, they will never experience being productive in their business.
269  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies take bitcoin as long term Choice to get the best out of bitcoin on: March 28, 2024, 09:59:16 PM
Bitcoin is never an easy investment, but full of flaws and risks and if you are not wise enough, you will only maximize your losses if you continue to invest in bitcoin blindly. However, if you chose to invest in it for long term, there’s always bigger chances to lessen the risk of losing, as long as you never get tempted to sell at a lower price everytime the market crash or there’s a price correction happening in the market. Patience is certainly the key, and the more you become patient with your long term investment, the bigger the amount of profits you will reap in the future once you decide to sell your coins.
270  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We should be looking only at the brighter side on: March 28, 2024, 09:37:03 PM
Normally the red flags during investing should also be acknowledged.Factors that could hinder the investment process ranging from volatility,risks,market liquidity,budget,inflation rate and ecetera
These things can also be considered too in order to successfully achieve your financial aim.

However,making a good investment decision should also be considered as important to make the right choices today whenever you intend to invest because it can have a big impact in your financial situation.There are good things to achieve when you take and make the right investment choices.
Of course, we must always pay attention to the risks that we will face in the investments we make and if we are able to face the risks that will occur when carrying out investments, of course we will be able to carry out these investments well and be able to solve problems when carrying out investments. To be able to make the right decisions on the investments we make, we must be able to analyze the market in order to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in the market and if possible, we will be able to make a profit from the investments we make.
Risks will definitely be there, but we can always lessen those risks if we are are completely aware what we are investing about most especially if we are hodling it for long term. However, when it comes to bitcoin, its profits is certainly bigger than its risks so if we can always overcome those risks and lessen them, we will continue to make decent profits from our investment. And while opportunities are limitless in bitcoin, then we should learn to take advantage of them so we can end up maximizing its potential profits.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the #1 rule you live by in sports betting? on: March 28, 2024, 08:31:16 AM
It's always gamble what you can afford to lose. it does not only goes with sports betting but on other type of gambling as well.

Hmmm.. I'm not getting specific here so let me point one thing that is really connected to sports betting.
Well, I think the most important is "learn how to manage your bankroll effectively"... By saying that, I mean you need to raise a decent amount of bankroll for you to be able to manage it well, and that means you also need to ensure that your bankroll is intender for long term gambling as sports betting especially in basketball, it has a whole season (less than a year) that we can consistently bet.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 28, 2024, 07:13:09 AM
This may be the last time we will see a game like this before the playoffs. The teams that have already secured their spots wouldn't have to work too hard in the remaining games. It's important for the teams to stay healthy before playoffs.
In the East, the most secured team is the Boston Celtics. The top 2 down who will likely make it to the playoffs will still have to play hard if they want to gain the home court advantage. There are still plenty of remaining games, if Bucks will not play hard, they might fall to top 5 or 6 and that will still give them a ranking to qualify in the playoffs but they don't want to be playing not gaining the home court advantage, so I think they'll still take every game seriously.
273  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Quick way to learn bitcoin trading on: March 27, 2024, 10:31:28 PM
The funny thing is, I see many of my friends kept saying Bitcoin is a scam for years and maintained their view from 2014 until 2019. Then, when Bitcoin reached its ATH, they experienced super FOMO and bought it without any knowledge about crypto because they were so vehemently against it. But then, when the Bitcoin price suddenly dropped, they reverted back to being anti-crypto people. Lol, it makes me think why they don't accept that they need to learn about crypto carefully first.

You will find such people very often in the world, they would oppose something all the time when they are not supposed to do that, and then when they see that thing gaining a lot of success and attention, they start supporting it but if it faces a temporary decline, they start opposing it again. People have been doing this with Bitcoin for a very long time, even when Bitcoin was priced very low, they never supported or adopted it, and they realize their mistakes now.

Those who thought Bitcoin is useless and it is going to end when it crashed from $69k to $16k are now regretting why they didn't think positive and bought Bitcoin when it dropped so significantly, they could earn a lot of profit if they did that but unfortunately, their ego was bigger and more important for them.
This is not surprising anymore. Majority are still hesitant when it comes to bitcoin, it’s like they come to appreciate it when the price is high and eventually dump it when the price declines. That only proves that their lack of knowledge and experience with bitcoin makes them responsible of their own actions. In the end, they will only gain nothing but regrets while seeing those who have made excellent profits with bitcoin because of their patience and determination to keep investing in bitcoin despite of such unpredictable price.
274  Economy / Speculation / Re: My instincts on the value of bitcoin from now to halving on: March 27, 2024, 09:58:22 PM
The price is regulary going up and down so its not a bad thing but we are getting opportunity to collect even more coins according to our target. Bitcoin once again touched the value of 71k$ but suddenly it returned back to 69k$ but it is not the last increase.

People have targeted the value of bitcoin to attain 100k$ and they will not sell their bitcoin before that value and if selling remains down then very soon we will see this targeted value. When bitcoin was down to 61k$ after 73k$ then people thought in similar way that Bull season become end but you can see that still we are in Bull season and once again bitcoin hit 70k$.
Expect that when the market turns bullish, price fluctuations become more visible as there are times that bitcoin price suddenly rise or make a sudden price decline. I guess that’s part of the trend having a bullish market. But as long as you keep your faith in hodling and expect that there will be more price increase that’s about to happen, then you will never be at loss. I can see that $70k or $71k is not the last price but we will see more price increase before bitcoin halving and bull run.
275  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What's your next step if you experience a Great BEAR MARKET ? on: March 27, 2024, 08:59:35 PM
Currently Bitcoin is expected to have a bull run and halving in coming time as we all know it.

Now if you were to make an investment of $100 as a beginner regardless of your country and as it stands Bitcoin is experiencing a bear market (an example) after you made 5% capital.

Initially you want to hold for a very long time but as a result of the bear market you loose your capital and half your investment yet the market is showing no sign for you to recover.
What's your next step as a first timer in Bitcoin /Altcoin trading?
Note that you will only lose if you decide to sell your coins, but if you continue to hold it until its price recovers and skyrocket, I think you will never end up losing. The best thing you can do is accumulate more coins while the market is bearish so you can maximize your bitcoin portfolio and only sell them when the market turns bullish. However, on part of altcoins, it’s risky to invest on them so always chose to invest in highly potential altcoins and only limit your investments with them as you can’t be sure if their value will certainly recover or stuck in there.
276  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Has BTC really become more attractive than gold? on: March 27, 2024, 01:46:46 PM
Or better be the question is,

It's already 2024, and why are still people comparing Bitcoin to Gold? I don't understand it, yeah maybe we can call Bitcoin as digital Gold, but the comparison stops there. And no, I don't invest on Gold, maybe just a couple of jewelries, that's it.

Peter Schiff is anti-Bitcoin, he is already late in the party. He says he rejected it in 2010 when he has the chance. So most likely he might be regretting his decision and that's why he attacks it, like comparing Bitcoin to a bubble and that doesn't believed on its long term effect.
I guess the comparison between bitcoin and gold will be endless. And as long as bitcoin is now considered as a digital gold, then most likely those gold enthusiasts will definitely make their voice out. However, it won’t be a problem if we accumulate both bitcoin and gold, although we assure bigger allocation for bitcoin, at least we will generate multi profits.

I’m not actually a gold investor but I also believe with the high potentials of gold, but if we come to compare it with bitcoin profits, then it’s undeniable that bitcoin got the highest ROI more than any potential investments.
277  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: advice for a beginner on: March 27, 2024, 11:23:37 AM
as you said, you just started a month ago, this timeframe is quite short, better to learn more and seek a strategy that is suitable to your trading habit. Those traders you are looking at are the traders who are making a token sniping which means they are waiting to make a trade with the new release coins, newly paired coins etc. If you deal with the same thing of course you need to put additional effort to hunt those coins which has the potential to trade. Don't get carried away with the other's journey take your path and keep learning.
Always know that beginners often lose on their trades, the reason why you should not invest on the amount you can’t afford to lose. Trading is a lot different from merely investing, so develop your skills and strategies first, improve your knowledge, and certainly learn from those early traders you have been following in the market. While trading can bring decent profits, but it can also bring us quick losses if we rush to trade without taking our time learning the trading process.

My advice is, don’t start trading if you are still learning its own process. Much better learn to invest and hold first, before you start taking a bigger risk like trading.
278  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who can you trust more to handle your business, man or woman? on: March 26, 2024, 11:22:04 PM
I don’t think its gender matters well on the choice of manager. Based on my experience, it greatly depends on your overall performance and capabilities to perform the position. Otherwise, you will not be qualified for such managerial position if you have less experience on managing a business. Also, attitude matters most when you are managing a business. If you are not patient and resilient, you will never be an asset to that business.

If given a chance better to choose that route, they know by fact that the managements are not aiming to win a title or even become a competitive squad, having another offer like that may be the best option to continue with their passions.
Unfortunately we only have one league in the Philippines that pays well, so their best opportunity is to improve and have a chance to play overseas. It's just sad that it seems like PBA has now becoming a training ground only and good that bastketball leagues in Asia are getting Filipino imports, Japan and Korea is very consistent on this.

Converge is not gonna win a title I guess, it's too early for this team to become a trash team as it's not even 5 years yet before they were acquired from Alaska and now they are already showing their true colors.
280  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: March 26, 2024, 05:18:03 AM
And it looks like the Houston Rockets are going to continue with their winning streak as they lead by double digits against the Portland Trailblazers. And with this win, they are now just half a game behind the Warriors. And it's time for the Warriors to win in their next game, but it's tough as they will have to travel to Miami. We all know that they are not a road team. Although they are a slim favorite here, not sure why, perhaps there are a lot of injured players in the Miami roster. But still we can't discount the fact that the Warriors have been choking when they are in the road. Despite that, I think the Warriors are going to fight like this is a do or die for game in a game 7 series and the championship is on the line.  Smiley

Yes sir, they are now tied with the Warriors in wins, if Warriors will lose on their next game (which is likely) vs the Heat, they'll drop to number 11 and the Rockets will replace them. And the consistency of Green continues as once again he led this team to win with 27 points. His game has really matured, thanks to the new coach that was able to utilize the talent of this young team.

Warriors have to work their way hard just to be in the play-in, just uncharacteristics for the Warriors as they usually dominate, things have changed really fast...fast... fast.....!
