2621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [ BOXING POLL ADDED ] The Rematch - JOSHUA vs USYK II (updated thread) on: November 20, 2021, 06:12:13 AM
This fight turned out good with Usyk winning their fight on their first match via unanimous decision that lead him to win three titles which are WBO, WBA, and IBF. However, the two fighters can't move forward with another match because they are bound in their contract to have a rematch which is very okay with the side of Usyk. In fact, his promoter was very much agreed with it because it means more money and exposure. In addition, Usyk was confident enough to beat Joshua once again. He said it's in his favor because he would get to beat Josua the second time around. Their fight is assumed to be held in the early part of 2022, which probably would be around the late dates of March or early dates of April.

Joshua, as stated by his promoter would undergo training and more practice to enhance his playing style against Usyk. He said in an interview that he learned his lesson well and he would take the defeat as a chance to make himself fight and throw punches even better. He even claimed that Usyk's only advantage is being light and fast-paced, which lead him to win their previous match. Joshua mentioned in an interview to beat and get back the titles from Usyk once their rematch has begun. The rematch is going to be held at the same venue which is Ukraine despite Usyk being hopeful he would bring the upcoming big fight on his career to his hometown. Hopefully, we would witness another great battle once again. This fight would determine their next step in their career, whether they could fight with their supposedly next match once they bring home the titles.

For me, starting small from starting big is not different at all, I mean you all both starting however your point of view is still the same regardless of how much you have in the start. For example, you have a $100 as a starting fund and the other one has $1000, so if he bet $100 on his first trade while you bet $10 on yours, it's just the same.

You don't have to compare yourself from others, what's important is you know how to manage that starting capital of yours to make it big as the time passes.

The same way you learn about literally anything else. Read and do research a lot, and of course, nothing beats actually trying out indicators and strategies yourself hands-on. Of course, you don't necessarily need to risk money immediately. You can use platforms like eToro that has virtual trading features.

I totally agree.

Simply searching "How to start trading in cryptocurrency" is gonna help you out to start what to read or what to watch in order start your journey in Trading. There's a lot of way in making profits in Trading so for me, that's where you need a lot of time to figure our what will suits your style on what approach you're going to do, what type of trading you want, etc.

Also you need to expect that not every trades you're gonna make means you will gonna get profits instantly, mostly if you're just a beginner, losing will happen most often, but it's normal.

Life decisions is all about trial and error, to figure out the things you wanted the most and where your skills are fitted, because you won't grow if you keep doing what you don't want to do. There's the saying that goes "If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life.", same goes in Trading. If your friends makes fortune in Trading while you do not even though you started the same time with them and study the same thing, then the problem is your adaptation in that field.

Maybe you are suited to do something else and trading is not it. So don't be afraid to start again until you make profits just like what you wanted.
2625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A positive evaluation of gambling. on: November 19, 2021, 11:58:59 AM
I think it's better if people gamble socially or for fun but when they start to gamble with the money they need for things or for the future then there's a trap.
It doesn't stop there but they develop the habit of gambling in long run that's where the danger lies.

Didn't make any sense to me.

I mean, how would you basically just socialize and enjoy gambling for fun if you won't risk your money to call it gambling? No matter what reason you have in playing gambling, the point is you would still lose your money most of the time even if you're enjoying or making friends in casinos, so financially, it is still a trap as long as you're losing money on it while having the thing that you wanted from gambling, either entertainment or friends.

I'd always bet for Magnus Carlsen. I'm a fan since I watched his match against Kasparov (which is my idol) because Kasparov is just amazing. Magnus Carlsen is a very talented player who is continue growing even better. I always watch his matches and even videos in his youtube channel which is very entertaining and a lot of knowledge can be acquired while watching.

Betting on Carlsen whether he lose or win will be a win win decision for me.
2627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: First decentralized Gambling Platform? on: November 19, 2021, 10:19:13 AM
I recently came across this news where BetDEX apparently made a public statement about how they would be launching *world's first decentralized Gambling Platform*

Few things to note:
Integrating sports betting with blockchain technology.
They are going to launch it in early 2022.
This would be based in Scotland.

A quote from the article:
Quote
The trio will offer a fully decentralised protocol built on the public blockchain, Solana, providing customers with fast and low-cost trades. It will allow third parties to build their own innovations and applications on top of the platform


-They are even allowing third parties to build innovations and applications on the top of the platform.

**It's largest ever seeded investment by any uk startup**

Source: https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/13914/betdex-raise-21m-to-launch-first-decentralised-betting-platform

What do you think the whole hype is about, how would they be any different from the already existing gambling platforms working with Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies?

Sports betting is much popular than the crypto gambling sites that we know. A decentralized sports betting would be revolutionary and a lot of people would instantly adopt it especially those cryptocurrency enthusiast. Betting in such platform with the latest blockchain technology surely assures the player for its anonymity (of course if they'll require KYC verification then they are the only ones who'll know you) but if the concern is a certain player will know your information, I think that's almost impossible.
2628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bovada removing bitcoin as payment option on: November 18, 2021, 12:58:02 PM
Logged in to my bovada account yesterday to find some unfortunate news ( as seen below ). This is very unfortunate and I just don’t understand the move at all. Allowing other crypto coins to be continued to use is what’s really puzzling to me. Anyone familiar with this situation?



This is shocking news most especially to those bovada users. I don't really see any reasons other than regulation or business issues that lead them to remove bitcoin as a payment option. I don't really think it would be because of transaction fees, because if so, then they should also remove ETH, right? Given the high transaction fee ETH has right now, being one of the top coins alongside bitcoin, this is just pure gibberish if it was the reason, but I doubt it. Maybe they have problems with bitcoin regulation? Or maybe they have personal issues they are attending to right now, and one of the possible ways they see to deal with it is to remove bitcoin temporarily.

Let's just hope it's just for the meantime only. Otherwise, users who find conflict in such sudden moves will have no choice but to change a betting site. After all, there are so many platforms to engage with. I must say that the competition amongst the betting sites is strong and close. Hence, gambling sites should always think of all the possible repercussions of their planned action before doing so, because there are customers that would be affected. If they would disregard the welfare of their customers, they might end up losing so much. A notice would surely be much appreciated most especially since this industry is connected with money.
2629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Uncovering the secret of making hop bets on: November 18, 2021, 12:12:01 PM
Hey everybody,

Dice games have entertained us for centuries. They are fun, exciting and easy to play.
And you don't need a huge bankroll because a small amount is all it takes to enjoy dice games.

But did you know that there’s a secret bet that can be used to double your dice game rewards?
Unlike making a bet before the game begins, a hop bet is placed while the game is ongoing.

Hop bets: How do craps hop bets work?

If a player thinks that a certain combination will appear on the next dice roll, he/she will tell the dealer that
they would like to bet on that particular number on the crap hop bet layout. For example, if a player thinks a 5-5
will appear on the dice, he will say ‘5 and 5 hopping’. If the same number appears, the player will take home crap hop bet payouts.

In some instances, players can wager on a hard pair that can generate higher payouts.
For example, you can tell the dealer to wager on a 4-4 or a similar number as long as it's a pair.

However, you should note that there are different payouts for this type of wager. Additionally, double-check with your casino
because usually a hard hop is only allowed to be placed once every round.

Different dice hop bets you can wager on

Hop bets have several wagers that you can take advantage of. Depending on your skill and confidence, you can try out these
crap hop bets while playing craps. Here are some of them:












Tips to make your hop bets count

Check the percentage before making a bet

Before placing your wager on dice hop bets, make sure you check the percentage of the combinations since there are
certain payout percentages you can receive. Additionally, look for combinations that will likely appear when the dealer throws the dice.

Try hard hops if you want bigger prizes

Hard hops are high-risk wagers but they can give you higher payouts if the combination you choose lands on the table.
Despite the risks being higher, trying hard hops once in a while can yield some nice returns.

Just make sure you don’t become careless by placing high wagers you can’t afford to lose. Additionally, don’t forget to check
the percentage value you can receive because each combination has a different hop bet payouts and probability.

Try different combinations

One of the best ways to take advantage of hard hops is trying out different dice combinations. If you’re feeling a little bold,
you can try hard hops. Meanwhile, if you want to stay on the safe side, you can try easy hop combinations.

Each hop bet has its own payout percentages you can experiment with to potentially increase your winnings. If you’re still a beginner,
you can try out easy hops. There are also double bets, any seven bets and field bets.

Start with small wagers

If you’re a beginner in hop bets, you can start small and work your way up until you achieve your desired wager amount.
This way, you can avoid unforeseen losses.

While dice games are easy forms of entertainment, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn a few new tricks to increase your
leverage while playing. With your new-found knowledge, you can confidently try out different dice games.


Your comments and thoughts are highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Karl from Bitcasino

This is post contains a lot of information. I appreciate your time putting it up here so that other people can take some suggestions to make their betting even more effective. However, despite the good motive behind this post, I must say that this kind of playing strategy would be very risky most especially to the newbies, so I don't really suggest those people who are still new to playing dice games to do this. By just relying on the game of chance, it would really be hard to predict what your next bet would be to guarantee a win, most especially if you'll try this strat that is based on luck alone and not skills or strategies. This type of playing could cost you a lot later instead of actually gaining, you could lose so much. Like what they say, high risk, high reward. Bet at your own risk. Consider setting limitations still to avoid regrets.

Hello. Can you know what are bookmakers give free bet on sport betting?

Free bets are often useful when you just want to try how the game works and how friendly the website is. It is a great opportunity to strategize and make gameplay for free, as a practice. However, I don't think there are bookmakers that still give free bets generously. Most free bets are offered to loyal clients and in promotions, so I think you'll have a hard time finding one now. But it's still possible, you just have to keep on looking. Although surely the winning prizes would be hard to withdraw. You'll have to undergo several processes and they will ask you requirements to be able to withdraw your prize such as undergoing KYC, which you can opt to do or not depending on if you are comfortable with it or not. So still, play at your own risk. If you plan to play for the sake of the prize alone, prepare yourself to be asked with various information. Otherwise, your time and efforts would all just be put to waste.

Obviously, that's how it works. If there's a lot of money, there's also corruption. Easy money is in the politics, that's why a lot of rich people with connections wants that power in able to steal anything they want while staying not guilty at the same time since they are the law. This kind of situation, especially now that we are just getting up from the pandemic, people are being greedy about the money, that's why they take this opportunity to get those sport betting freebies.

  I live in INDIANA. It is now totally legal and legitimate to gamble on sports on some of the best sports looks on the web now, here in good ole Indiana.
You should bet for yourself, why do you bet on someone's application, this is gambling, no one guarantees you can make more than $ 10 of your capital and no one guarantees honesty in the world of gambling.

After all, there are many gambling sites (Indiana), such as: indianafarfarm.com, indiana jaya bet, indianahauntedhouses.com etc., so what name indiana do you mean, I don't know your motives and goals for placing bets on other people's gambling sites.

My advice if you are good at sports betting games, you should bet for yourself without involving other people's applications.

I agree.

Also, OP's account is just a newbie which means everyone who's thinking about availing OP's offer have to be careful before proceeding to a transaction. Another thing is not only in Indiana has a legal sports betting, so I don't think this kind of scheme won't work to anybody here in this forum who likes sports betting. For me, this is too fishy to be accepted by anyone who wants to try it out.
2633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nebraska, Gambling might be too expensive for casinos on: November 17, 2021, 11:44:07 AM
Well, 1 million for a 20 years gambling license is no big deal for a casino owner, because he could make even more than that in 20 years of his gambling business. The only risk their is if the casino he is going to start will not going to be successful, then the license price would be indeed expensive and it will be devastating for any casino owner if their business will failed. Take note about the taxes you're going to pay per year that will cost you a lot as well.
2634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A positive evaluation of gambling. on: November 17, 2021, 10:42:30 AM
I agree to this.

Those positive outcome you get in gambling despite all of your losses doesn't mean that you can't use it or apply it in your everyday living. Regret after trying is always better rather than not trying at all and keep wondering the what ifs afterwards. Gambling might not be for everyone who tried it but at least they learned something in life that could help them to grow and try something else to make profits and earn huge amount of money.

Failing doesn't mean you're gonna failed every time you try. Failing means learning, and learning means profit.
2635  Economy / Economics / Re: How is financial stability defined for you? on: November 16, 2021, 11:00:41 AM
How do you define financial stability for yourself? Do you believe that there's a thing as too much money? With what kind of income would you be satisfied and felt successful, at least in the sector of finances. Is it the more, the better?

The subject of money in particular is controversial, speaking for myself, I'm working a regular job, getting paid above average each month, while also doing some online work such as signature campaigns and staking coins on various platforms. I'm making enough money to make ends up and on the plus side, setting aside a decent sum of money from my salary, as well as any other amount earned online, is set aside as savings.

While in particular, I'm pretty satisfied with the amount of money I'm earning, I definitely wouldn't mind earning 10% or 20% more, I'm not sure though, if I'd say the same even if I supposedly received the previously mentioned raise, which is falling to the category of, the more, the better.

However, the general idea is that I'm currently okay, if I were to pursue something in life, in terms of money and finances, it'd be to make enough money to make ends meet and have a decent amount of purchasing power, while at the same time, having a savings account. This is something that as a 23-year-old student I've managed, but I have a pretty long way to go.

What's your take on this?

For me, being financially stable is when you are already financially independent - no more debt, can survive a daily basis without the need to work for it, and has a secured amount for the future.

Personally, I don't want to spend most of my life working in a company I don't own. I want to achieve financial stability with help of my skills, ability, and strategy. I know it won't be an easy task though. Surely, this would take a lot of effort, time, and resources to achieve, but definitely, it won't be impossible. Nowadays, it's really hard to earn money, hence we should not be complacent about our current earning status. It's not bad to look for additional side hustles that could generate you more income as long as you can still balance your time and give quality works to each of your hustles. We need to prioritize needs over wants. This is one of the keys to being financially stable - self-discipline. We must learn to restrain ourselves from buying the things that we don't really need, and instead allocate the money to our savings or investment so it could profit as time passes by.

Being financially stable for me also means securing my retirement fund. I want to fulfill it as early as possible so that I won't be thinking about it later when I have a family of my own. I want to have it to secure my future and to not rely on my children for money when the time comes that I'm of old age, I can still buy and do what I want.
2636  Economy / Economics / Re: Mindset game for the skilled and unskilled. on: November 16, 2021, 09:54:51 AM
Mindset can play a great role in one's success. In the industry, there are skilled and unskilled people. There are naturally talented people and we must know that talent differs from skills. To define, skills can be learned and acquired during any stage of someone's life. There is no person who is naturally skilled, but there are people who are already born talented.

When you arrive at the age of being aware of how the world works and how harsh reality is, you will feel the need to find something to generate income from in order to survive. For some, studying is their ladder to reach the top. Some people feel the need to study in order to achieve what they want to become in life. The process of studying gives them the opportunity to be skilled in the field they want to pursue in the future. Skilled people usually have a wider opportunity to choose from the moment they finish their degree. It also gives them the chance to choose what position they want and the rate of salary they receive is par ahead compared to those unskilled that are working with blue-collar jobs. If you have this kind of mindset, it's a good thing because it clearly implies that you have a goal and dream that you aspire to reach one day. However, this shouldn't make you complacent in life. Just because you are skilled, doesn't really guarantee you a spot at the top. In fact, most of the time, skilled people are the ones who are working in the company, and not the company owner because they were too fixated on their job, not aiming more.

Meanwhile, there are unskilled people who are unskilled by choice or because of a lack of opportunity and privilege. Most of the time it is because of the latter. There are many people who belong to the poverty line, hence, they lack the opportunity to study to become skilled based on their dream profession. But being unskilled doesn't stop these people to dream and achieve their aspirations in life. Most of the unskilled people that I have met will surely shock you for they have a great mindset one has to have. Since these people lack opportunity because of being unprivileged, instead of sulking, they make an opportunity of their own. These kinds of people are usually one of the hard-working and smart people you've ever met and they apply it by working in blue-collar jobs such as doing labor and the likes as a starting point. From there, they condition themselves to rise from the top. By applying the lessons they learned from experience and with the help of their upheld values, beliefs, and principles in life.
2637  Economy / Economics / Re: Possible market crash in the near future? on: November 16, 2021, 08:23:34 AM
There are (as of  now) 14029 cryptocurrencies listed in coinmarketcap.com.
A case has been made (repeatedly) for  the existence of a bubble in the cryptocurrency market.
Yeah, I understand cryptocurrencies are volatile, high risk investments. But, are you guys expecting a market crash anytime soon?


I don't really expect a market crash anytime soon but I am well aware of how crypto works, hence I think we will see some price corrections and adjustments depending on their specific positions. It's totally normal for price corrections to happen in crypto because as we all know, crypto is volatile and it's really unpredictable. The trend and movement of the market could either pump or dump depending on the market demand and some external factors such as projects, news announcements, and updates, so it's advisable to always be on your guard if ever you are trading because a very short span of time could either make or break what you risked.

Perhaps, just like what you always hear or read, I also advise you to only invest what you can afford to lose and diversify as much as you can so that when things go bad, you won't be regretting big time. You should do risk assessment and management every time you want to enter some coin. In addition, you must do your own background checking to know if the coin is worth it, so you won't be crying if ever a sudden dump happens. Know when to take profit and when to cut loss. Study technical analysis and other strategies to gain from crypto and do not only rely on hearsays.
2638  Economy / Economics / Re: Credit cards | A scam or a tool? on: November 16, 2021, 07:50:27 AM
What's your thought about credit cards? Do you consider them a banking fraud, just to trick you to spend money you don't have, or a useful tool if used correctly? Do you have one yourself? In my case, as a student, I was issued a university card, which features a low yearly fee but also a considerably low credit limit. However, I often use it to pay bills in interest free installments (Car insurance for instance) and my gas expenses, which provide a decent cashback (I'll fill up my car once or twice a year for free).

On the other hand, there are quite a few shops here that also offer interest free installments, that way, I was able to purchase a bicycle for my girlfriend, when the budget was quite limited.

The trick on credit cards is to use them wisely, not spending more than you can afford, always pay in time, otherwise you'll get a huge interest on your balance, while at the same time, you're building a credit score.

What's your take on this? Are you against credit card usage?

This is a good question. For me, a credit card can either be a form of trick (not really a scam) or a tool depending on how you will use it and how you will view it.

Most people particularly those who are working have credit card/s. This is often issued when you have a good record in financial aspects such as having no records of deferred credit loans, having a stable and high-paying job, or having a good amount in your bank account. The credit limit increases as often as you use it and if you pay diligently. For other people, it is a form of scam from the banks to gain more profit because people are too blinded with what they seem a good offer. But actually, this is just like any other business there is. Of course, they still have to make a profit out of their capital, hence the justification of interest rates that they have for every loan you make.

I must say that this is a very good business idea from the central organization because they address the demands and needs of their clients in order to benefit from it. You see, people need and love money. Some are even blinded by it, that is why it is a good business strategy to offer something you know they can't resist. The time people would give in is the moment of winning for the banks (most especially if the person to who they offered credit cards is not really wise in handling the financial aspect). People who are too carried away with the benefit of having a credit card mostly end up spending it on nonsense matters, hence as a result they end up having huge debts to pay for.

But to others, like me, I view it as a tool. An important tool that could help you get by and even make you a profit. It just boils down to how you will use it. You see, there is a thing called good and bad debt. Bad debt is something that you took a loan for but won't make you a profit. In short, bad debt is a luxury. Meanwhile, good debt is something that if you take a loan for it, could benefit you and could possibly generate you an additional income. For an instance, when you pay your bills using your credit cards. The act of paying your bills is your responsibility, hence you used your credit card right because after all, paying bills is inevitable and you have to do it to avoid cutting of services. In this scenario, you have avoided the inconvenience of paying thru service centers at the mall and at the same time the inconvenience of possibly having a disconnection. In addition, you also earn a credit limit here for paying your bills. It's a win-win scenario for you - you have paid what needs to be paid and earned points that you could use to reward yourself or pay for anything important in the future.

Another example would be buying and selling using a credit card. This is so far one of the best ways on how you could utilize your credit card. You can buy anything which is in demand like gadgets or appliances and then sell it with a little additional price as your profit. This could really generate you money because most of the time, purchases made using credit cards have discounts and have 0% installment fees/ interest rate (depending on the company of your credit card). This way, you could earn and you could earn points again which is an advantage on your part. Or if the risk of buying first without a sure customer scares you, you can do a pre-order of items so that you already have a sure customer and sure sales.

The bottom line is that people are in charge of how things will work in their favor. If you aren't disciplined enough, then I guess you will paint credit cards as something so bad because it brought you "hell", not focusing that it was actually your own doing. Or you could view it as a tool that could give you additional income and convenience because you use it right and not impulsively. The answer is in your very own hands, so decide accordingly. Just a friendly reminder though, if you really want something but you can't afford it yet, and you know it won't really be a money-maker to you, then just save until you can buy it. You wouldn't want to be bothered and anxious about unpaid balances that keep on generating interest, do you? Spend responsibly, everyone.
2639  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where to store your keys? on: November 16, 2021, 07:17:38 AM
Crypto investors are turning to Military grade vaults to safeguard their Keys. While some prefer to know the Keys by heart, some have their crypto stash in physical dedicated crypto wallets like Trezor and pay big money to have them stored in Nuclear sheltered safe vaults. Take for instance Swiss Crypto Vault who offers Nuclear sheltered vaults to crypto investors. if you had 2000 bitcoins what options would you pick?



For a small to an average amount of bitcoin, I think a hard wallet as storage would be enough. Although anyone should still be careful despite having this because after all, it doesn't really guarantee a 100% safeness of your fund most especially if it involves human error. It just prevents hacking but the owner is still the one responsible for how to maintain his funds safe (e.g from inside job, phishing, and other forms of scams).

But if I were to have 2000 bitcoin, I would diversify it as much as possible to be sure just in case things go haywire in my one account, not everything will be compromised. I would use cold storage to safeguard my seed phrases or probably I will do the traditional way of securing them which is writing them down on a piece of paper and hiding it in a safe spot where no one else knows about. Or I would make some sort of cryptic messages or riddles to indirectly store it without other people noticing that it is an important thing if they would happen to see it, but definitely, I would still hide the book where I would write it down to.

Nowadays, bitcoin is growing more and more popular and is being widely used. The introduction of bitcoin helped most of us to be open to the things we usually overlook because we think it's totally normal, to begin with. For instance, way back most people trust the central organizations so much because they seem "reliable" to be the storage of their funds. But little did they know that the banks are just using them to gain more profit, but only give a little in return. As an example, you put a huge amount of money there for 5 years, yet you will only gain a very small interest that can hardly be noticeable and used. They even tax your funds for the period you store your funds to them. In addition, it isn't safe to inflation so if you'll think about it, you are on the losing end here. Back then, people have no other choice but to put their funds in it despite all the possible repercussions. But today, people have the opportunity to ditch the banks and just invest in bitcoin or other crypto coins that they think will be good for the long term.

Bitcoin brought us true freedom of thought by allowing us to think of anything and act in accordance with what we think is right and beneficial for us. Freedom to do with our very own funds without being limited to any transaction is one of the nice things I like about bitcoin. You could decide on your own. You can risk whatever you want, but of course, this freedom has also its limitation. You have to be totally responsible to your actions and decision-making because you have no one to blame but yourself if ever you fucked up. We have the liberty to do whatever we want to our portfolio but it comes with great responsibility too.
