If we think about holding long-term, Bitcoin is the best choice. But if think about just playing the market volatility, altcoins are there is give us more profit than Bitcoin. It is really all about our preferences but the advantage of choosing Bitcoin is that we can assure that years from now it grow unlike holding altcoins.

There are so many coins to hold but yes, this will also matter on how we manage them. If we can play the market so well, we can really make money there but if not, even investing in Bitcoin will give us losses as well.
I still give a bigger portion to bitcoin than bitcoin because by investing in bitcoin, my profit can be bigger. But investing in altcoins can also provide benefits, but we have to really be able to analyze to get the right altcoins.

Before investing, it is important to manage how much money we use so it won't interfere with our finances. Even though there are many coins that we can make as investments, we have to really choose the coins and bitcoin is the best choice as a long-term investment.

Slot games are one of easiest games for anyone to play and to increase the number of bets, it better to consider your balance. If you have a small budget, it better to use the minimum bet amount or the smallest bet, but if you are using a larger budget, maybe you can slightly increase the bet amount. but always remember this easy game is very dependent on your luck and otherwise you will lose faster your balance will be sucked up in a short time.
But usually I use the method of raising the bet amount and returning a small amount to lure the scatter to come up for a bit of a big multiplier opportunity.
But all that is not a guarantee
There is no doubt that slot games are gambling games that are easy to play. But because it is an easy gambling game, many people like playing slots so much that they spend a lot of money just to get or hit the jackpot. And many people have lost a lot and spent a lot of money, but that still doesn't stop them from continuing to play slots. And it is not recommended to use a budget that is too large because it is feared that you can use it all just to win big wins. If we can limit the use of money, we don't need to run out of money after playing slots because we still have money to play slots another day.
2683  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: August 03, 2023, 01:11:56 PM
The more sad thing about this is that it became a tradition to almost every country, people who have talents in some sports should be helped so that they can give some help as well when they are already successful specially in Africa where not all are born leaders and talented. But the thing is, instead of helping them, they are charging them some ridiculous amounts just to be in a certain team and play to get the minutes. In the end, hatred will be passed on and not the other way around.
Even though that should not have happened because if people with talent in sports or other than that are assisted, it can trigger them to be able to give the best for their country. They will try hard because their country has allowed them to appear with their country's name. But yeah, that's what's happening in many countries, and they're deliberately hindering those who have talent by asking them to pay money so that those who hinder them can get a share. Hopefully, people like that can be dealt with soon and removed from the association so that the country can get talented people who can give the best for their country.

That's good for you, but what about the next day or week? Sure, you escaped losing everything all at once, but can you stop yourself from returning the next day? Not all gamblers, or even the majority, have the self-control to refrain from returning, and this is their problem. It seems easy for someone but not for others.
I always prepare my mind for the positive and negative results. Self-control is one of the crucial attributes to posses if you truly one to deal with the gambling system. Losing is unavoidable; you are able to escape it today, but what about tomorrow? Gambling is perilous, and I would urge newcomers to take the easy route, which is gambling to pass the time and probably not the other way around. It is simple to state that one would cease after collecting gains, but it is never an easy chore to trigger when the impulse to gamble arises. Some people do it for leisure, while others do it as a source of revenue.
Losing in gambling is unavoidable, but we can avoid losing huge amounts of money with good self-control. We can also prevent ourselves from continuing to play, especially when we have experienced a previous losing streak, so we can still have a balance in our account. And we should not immediately use all the money we have deposited to play gambling because if we use all the money and lose, we are forced to deposit some more money to play another day. And that is a waste, but maybe not for others. We must control the gambling game and not let us be controlled by lust which can cause us to lose all the money.
2685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Slot Streamers on: August 03, 2023, 12:13:27 PM
I think they can also be entertaining in their own way as you play slots yourself.

Yes, they are worth watching only when you have no balance left in your account and wish these influencers to make a raffle of balance vouchers or free spins for viewers, lol. But they still have the power of influence, it is evident that most streamers have an abundant number of referrals than normal gamblers. Watching them excessively of course will bring bad effects.
It feels uncomfortable watching streamers if we don't have a balance in our account because we can't immediately follow and have fun with the streamer hahaha Grin

But it's better for us just to watch the streamer and not watch it for too long, so we don't have the desire to follow him in gambling. After all, watching streaming gambling shows will definitely affect our psychology. And sooner or later, we will deposit some money to play gambling immediately. But that only happens to gamblers who don't have good self-control.
2686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: August 03, 2023, 11:43:09 AM
After losing a few times using Martingale strategy I have not made such a big mistake again. I would rather play it safe than lose big. The downside of playing it safe is that you also won't have very big wins. There's been a few times where I chose a huge underdog, like Holly Holm against Ronda Rousey, but I was too scared of losing that I chose not to place a bet. The next day there was stories of people winning thousands of dollars from that event and I kind of regretted my choice.

You don't need to regret about it. You will get another opportunity. When you get it take your time and reason about it with a cool head. Any decision taken with a hasty mindset will not help you. Sports betting is all about data and how you use it deduce a conclusion. Yes you would need a bit of luck but mostly your mind to get to the desired result. Mixed martial art has been getting some serious attention from bettors. It is a good choice for sports betting as per my understanding.
It's better to play it safe and get a normal win than to risk a big loss, especially if we place a bet we don't know or we are in doubt. Every decision we make is better analyzed and thought about in advance so that we are really firm in making that decision and will not regret that decision. Sports betting requires collecting data and research about the teams that will compete. I don't know much about martial arts, so I've never bet on that sport, and even though I'm very curious, I still don't look for supporting information, so it's better for me to bet on other gambling games.

In my opinion, everyone who plays gambling will definitely chase victory, no one wants to gamble just for entertainment, of course they want to win in their gambling. It would be quite naive to say that gambling is not the pursuit of victory, that's wrong, we are all gamblers chasing victory. All that needs to be changed is our perception of it, we should be able to think rationally and not go crazy when we lose. Emotional mastery and logical thinking like this is what gamblers need so they don't go crazy in their gambling.
I think it depends on each gambler because some gamblers don't chase victory but just want to have fun and get entertainment while playing gambling. They know that getting a win from gambling is very difficult, so they feel they just need to enjoy gambling. Winning or losing was the last thing, and they didn't need to think about it because if they were lucky, they would win one day. So instead of just thinking about how to win at gambling, they should enjoy their gambling game to their fullest and stop while they can.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: August 03, 2023, 10:23:16 AM
Although currently using ChatGPT can make some predictions and some of them are accurate but most of them are not. However, if ChatGPT could predict the casino platform with AI, then the online casinos would definitely be destroyed. If AI could make it so that a person placed a bet and a team would win, maybe people would use this GPT all the time. But if everything was possible by AI then this AI would be called world's smartest but it is never possible. And since the prediction of online casinos cannot be done by ChatGPT AI, the casinos will not end.
The casino will anticipate this by banning ChatGPT or something else. We may not yet know what the casinos will do regarding this ChatGPT as developments continue to find the most suitable one. And even though this ChatGPT development could be more popular, not all gamblers will use it because some don't like ChatGPT and prefer to analyze each match with their own abilities. Online casinos will continue to run even though AI is coming to help gamblers win gambling games.
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Playing Slot Games On Demo/Free mode Vs Live/Paid Mode on: August 03, 2023, 09:54:57 AM
~snip~
Though this mistake i bolded in your comment caused a bit of confusion, but i think i understand what you mean at the end..
From all I've read here, one thing ive learnt is that casinos, or rather, game providers are cheating players with this whole provably fair stuff, i personally used to believe that the same mechanics that powers playing slot in demo mode is same mechanics that powers playing the same game in its live/paid mode, but then, what i understand by this now is that, the demo mode have been programmed to make gamblers win more and easily since its not real money in play, but for the live/paid mode, the game is programmed to make the player lose more then he or she can ever win, where then does the provably fair come in ?
We will also never know if the casino cheated us in the end or if they were proven fair, but so far, that is the result we will get. We also cannot expect big wins in playing slots, especially in the live/paid mode. Perhaps we can get a big win in the demo/free mode to attract novice gamblers or anyone who wants to experience the live/paid mode. They will think playing slots using the live/paid mode can bring them big wins, but the reality will not be as they imagine. Proven justice may come from comparing gamblers who play slots using the live/paid mode, and from there, they can see that not all of them can win because of luck. But even though it's hard to win, the truth is that someone has managed to win big.
2690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: August 03, 2023, 09:20:22 AM
Most gamblers are seeking the lucky shot to earn a lot from gambling by hitting the jackpot. However, I also know some gamblers who go to casinos just to have fun. They don't risk much money but they try multiple games and enjoy themselves especially when they are with a group of gamblers (like a group of friends i meant). Everyone can make time for something,so it doesn't matter if you have time or not; it depends on whether you're in the mood to spend two hours in the casino weekly or not, that's just my opinion.
That's true because every gambler wants to win but forgets that they can't always get a win. And often, they have to feel satisfied after getting a small victory and stop playing gambling immediately rather than running out of money after several rounds of gambling. And if gamblers go to the casinos just for fun, they are really lucky because they can keep themselves from losing a lot of money. But most people will gamble to try to win from various gambling games so that they forget their original goal of just wanting to have fun from gambling games.
2691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: August 03, 2023, 08:49:15 AM
~snip~
You are right, but unfortunately, as a newbie, its very hard to know this things, except for newbies that are really smart from the onset, and again is that, there are times when the game is already going on, for the fear of missing out, some of us tend to find it unnecessary to carry out any form of research before placing the bet, we just go ahead guessing, this has happened to me many times and it still do even till now, it happens to me mostly on games i never had any intention of betting on, but suddenly developed interest just as the game is just starting to play.

Well, one thing ive come to terms with in betting is that, no matter how good we are, we can never have 100 win ratio, there will still be games that will be lost after everything, but then, its still better to go to war prepared and well armed, let it be that your opponent overpowered you, than going unprepared and unarmed  Grin.
It could happen because we don't want to be left behind in placing bets, so we will immediately place bets based on our guesses. But that doesn't guarantee we can win because by not doing analysis or research on each team that competes, we might not be able to find a team with a high chance of winning. But sometimes I just guess who will win Grin

Getting such a high ratio is very difficult because most of us can probably only achieve half or even less than half. So maybe we can only continue placing bets for the next game, and this time, we can hope we can win.
2692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Legality of Online Gambling in Different Countries on: August 03, 2023, 08:18:49 AM
I have always wondered why one country dont allow gambling, and there is always a neighbor country that fully allow gambling. Dont that country that does not allow feels pity when other country get more income tax? And I dont understand those countries who ban gambling. Like they get enough funds in budget to cover all their country needs. Licenses can be costly, but often gambling brings good profit to casino owners, so getting licenses isnt a problem. And speaking about gambling as a business, it shouldnt bring profit from very moment casino is opened.
Perhaps the country's government doesn't want its citizens to rely on gambling to get money, so they ban gambling activities. But gambling can indeed provide income tax for the state because there must be many people who want to gamble in legal or illegal casinos. But usually, the prohibition of gambling is caused by prohibitions from the majority religion in the country, so the government prohibits gambling.

And if legal casinos operate in a country, maybe they contribute to the state's income taxes, so the government allows them to operate. And the government will also grant licenses to casinos to operate so casino owners can rest easy in running their businesses.
2693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lets Discuss All Casino/Gambling Related Movies Here on: August 03, 2023, 07:46:01 AM
I don't know much about gambling movies. But before, there were newer gambling movies, I've seen the God of the Gambler movie, but I forgot which one because there are several movies about the God of the Gambler. I only know that there is Chow Yun Fat, the main star of that film.

In the meantime, I did a bit of a search on gambling movies and found several lists of sites with movies about gambling. I have never watched many of these films, but maybe my friends here have seen those films.

Here goes the list:

I apologize if there are similarities in film names between one site and another.
2694  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down? on: August 02, 2023, 03:25:58 PM
it is possible, actually it is not only bitcoin. youtube, tiktok and etc was proof that people can earn money from internet which will also improve country economy. there is no limitation of money velocity in bitcoin, google adsense, tiktok gifts and etc. money from all around the world can come to us, what we only need is internet connection. although a country don't have enough natural resource but as long as they have money they can buy that from other country.
Surely it will improve the economy of each person trying to get money from the Internet. Many people have tried to make money from the Internet, but most have tried it in the usual ways other people have used, so they have to look for different ways. If every citizen's economy can increase by providing jobs or their citizens can find a new income resource, the government can increase the country's economy because people's purchasing power will definitely increase and eventually, the wheels of the economy will run as well. And it will speed up the recovery of the country's economy so that the country can develop better. And if the citizens can invest in bitcoin while the economy is down, they can make a good profit in the future, and that means their citizens can also increase their economy because they will have money at that time.
2695  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Spot trading or future trading which trading is best for beginers? on: August 02, 2023, 02:51:18 PM
I advise beginners to learn spot trading instead of futures trading because it's safer. But they must study before starting to trade, and using a demo account is highly recommended to study indicators or something else. If they are used to spot trading and can get profits as often as possible, they can try futures trading.

But futures trading is more difficult because you have to know or be able to predict where the market will go. Otherwise, you will only lose and lose the money.
2696  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How are your exchange tokens performing at the moment? on: August 02, 2023, 02:27:18 PM
I have some exchange tokens, but until now, the price still hasn't increased. But I'm grateful to be able to buy it at such a low price that this situation doesn't affect me too much. I'm just still waiting for the price to rise until it reaches its highest ATH. Then I will sell it. But before the highest ATH price is reached, I'm fine to keep waiting and holding the exchange token. Current market conditions are still difficult to predict, so exchange tokens also cannot move. So just waiting is all we can do.

I don't know how it works or the calculations because I don't work in a casino. But as far as I know, the game you mentioned requires luck. So even if you tweak the strategy, you might still be out of luck if you don't have luck.

You can ask the people working in the casino to find the method. But I'm not sure that person wants to tell you because it's a company secret. When I play craps or plinko, I'm not thinking about how to win but only how much money I can use. That's it, nothing else because it depends on your luck.

It's legit if you have luck Grin

But it's true because without luck, you can't win it as we know, the casino owns the business. Meanwhile, we are just players who often play gambling at the casino. We cannot expect that in slot games Enhanced RTP games can provide greater luck. Everything depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you can even win a lot of money on the regular one.

If you only think about winning and the win rate is higher in Enhanced RTP games, you should prepare yourself if you lose.
2699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 40 Twitch accounts for gambling advertising on: August 02, 2023, 12:56:55 PM
It is very hard to check the influencers account Because you didn’t add there profile link. Those who constantly promote gambling sites have a very low ROI because gamblers do not change gambling sites frequently.  But influencers who promote only good and trusted sites over a long period of time get much better ROI.  So targeting regular gambling site influencers for promotion is unwise.  A new site needs to adopt a different marketing strategy if they want to be able to move into a better position in the market
And those experienced influencers already know how to promote new sites, so they will use different ways than the ones they are used to promoting. Influencers can give their followers what they want so that influencers can get referrals from their followers, especially if the influencer doesn't give fake reviews so that his followers will follow the influencer to play gambling. Here there is reciprocity between the influencer and his followers where the influencer provides a trusted casino site while his followers register for the trusted casino site using the referral link provided by the influencer.
2700  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is to be blamed, the gambler or the betting agent on: August 02, 2023, 12:36:00 PM
~snip~
Yes because for gamblers, it is take the risk and have the chance to some profit and if you are not taking the risk then you are not preventing anything. You are only preventing something by avoiding it and that is the reason I have said it is not for a gambler to prevent it, be it the risk or something else. If you are a gambler and you have come to gamble, all you have to do is to gamble as you can bear and in order words you are gambling anyway and you are not preventing it only to reduce your risk.
If you don't reduce the risk, you will only see the risk of losing money getting bigger, and if that happens, you should immediately stop gambling and rest. It's not good to continue gambling because we can lose even more, especially if we deposit more money into the gambling account. It will only make us want to recover our losses even though we know that it will not guarantee that we can recover losses but provide other losses. Here it is better for us to prevent that loss than get other losses so we will not lose much money.
