If things were that easy

You can't alleviate poverty by giving out money as that will only make the situation with poverty worse. In fact, it will only aggravate it dramatically. The companies don't sit on their wealth as many seem to implicitly assume. All this wealth exists in the form of capital which creates added value, and that makes people's lives better. Now you basically suggest to take part of this newly created value and redistribute it in some way. Sounds familiar, huh? If not, what makes you think that this redistribution is actually going to help people or help them better if it didn't happen and companies would be free to use all of their income as they see most appropriate (read, most effective)?

Things are a bit different in this day and age. Your assumption would be 100% correct for the pre-Internet era, but today it is a completely different story. As even this forum clearly shows, you can foster useful connections and build solid reputation from ground up without having to be born into wealth

This is in striking contrast with what we had before the Internet came when you really couldn't lift yourself out of poverty if you didn't have proper connections which you obviously hadn't for being born into poverty. Though I agree that you should rather work smart instead of working hard (that kinda goes without saying)

But isn't it exactly what the Internet is about, i.e. about being smart?

Okay, I've been testing Autobet for about an hour, and I can confirm that it no longer freezes (as before). But the experience is still far from perfect as the overall behavior feels somewhat erratic after running Autobet for a while, with the visual elements seemingly not following actual rolls on time. Personally, that's fine with me as I'm running Autobet in the background anyway, and as long as it doesn't hog CPU, it is no bother to me (mostly because I prefer faster rolls with less visual animation). But for some it may be unacceptable

I think you can add the speed slider for the autobet mode with the range like 1-3 rolls per second

That's exactly my story

Autobet is in fact working but not for long. After some time its tab in the browser starts eating CPU cycles hungrily, and watching rolls becomes a nuisance really so that I have to close the tab and then reopen it (and restart Autobet). As it also lags for you, we can safely conclude it's the site's issue. I haven't seen the rep here for a while, so is this thread followed? I hope the issue with Autobet will get fixed soon (just in case, my account name with the casino is same as here). I'm particularly curious how long it will take till I finally bust with my "custom" martingale setup


I guess you can check it out in the opening post

One shouldn't let external emotions affect his trading, be they good or bad

It is a lot easier when you follow a certain strategy as in that case you can bravely ignore bad or good moods, dangers as well as pleasures, and do your thing (in this case trading) as good as ever. Otherwise, your trades will still be negatively affected regardless of your mental state, whether you are in a good mood or shape. Your "best time" may easily turn out overconfidence, resulting in as bad results (if not worse at all)

Don't take the words of Trump and his likes at their face value

Today they can say one thing and tomorrow they say the exact opposite like they have always said (and thought) so. These people don't give a slightest fuck about Bitcoin (and most other things, for that matter) as they are only interested in gaining more power (and not losing it in the process). In case of Trump specifically, he is going to run for POTUS next year, so anything he says (and more importantly, what he does) should be considered from this angle

Regarding the questions raised in the OP, cryptocurrency operations are not bound to any specific area (apart from their client base), so if it means moving out of the US jurisdiction, they will do that without any second thought. Technically, the American government is shooting themselves in the foot with such acts, but more power to them if they choose so. Really, who are we to stop them and why? Let them dig their own grave

It seems there is some misunderstanding here

I just reread the opening post, and OP obviously refers to martingale with presumably safe settings allowing for very long losing streaks. His idea consists in earning 1% daily through a number of bets and then stopping till the next day. So it is definitely not about risking 1% of his balance as he is in fact risking his whole balance at each bet. I'd venture to say that his idea is quite feasible conceptually but the catch is that he can't go for 1% daily and not lose his balance pretty fast (in a matter of days). Technically, it is a losing strategy with so high a daily target


It is about martingale which assumes a lot of bets till you hit your daily target (1% in this case)

Hi, I have some issues with Autobet at wolf.bet

I've been running Autobet for around a couple of weeks with free doges, and now this feature seems to have stopped working properly. It starts to run as smooth as it should, but after some time it almost freezes with very ragged performance and uncomfortable experience until finally I can't even open a browser tab with wolf.bet in it

I'm mostly using Opera on Linux but I also tried other browsers (Firefox and Chrome, to be exact) and even different operating systems (Windows 7, more specifically), and I can say that the problem persists and it is on the server side. Maybe, it is a little too many people autobetting like me there. Technically, Autobet is not very usable at the moment

It is just human nature

No one should in fact be surprised at this or go too harsh on other people in such cases and under such circumstances. People rarely admit to owning their mistakes. They simply can't come to terms with the fact that most of their problems actually stem from their own bad behavior and misjudged actions. So they have to find someone or something to blame (e.g. their emotions or whatever). But there's an interesting consequence or sequel to refusing to own up one's mistakes and misdeeds. Ironically, refusing to accept responsibility for one's actions leads to making the same mistakes over and over again. In gambling (as well as in trading), it means losing money until there's nothing to lose


If it works for you, go for it. But a better alternative is to harness the power of your emotions and channel their energy in the direction of your conscious and deliberate choice. Thus, you will get more for a buck of your time and effort

In most cases that has nothing to do with posts deleted

It is a well-known forum bug which has existed there since times immemorial. The forum engine re-counts posts every few weeks, and if there are some discrepancies in your post count (e.g. it can actually show more posts than you have made), they get fixed. So it may look like some of your posts got deleted while none in fact were. Your post count was just incorrect for some time (probably greater than it should have been)


What is suspicious about this casino? It is obviously a new kid on the block and let's hope it will evolve into a bigger project with time

You seem to be missing my point

Basically, there are two types of games. The first type, which is properly and rightfully referred to as gambling, involves only luck. In this type of the game, it is impossible to win if only through luck, but the longer you play, the higher are your odds of losing all simple because the house edge starts to prevail over luck. Indeed you can use martingale in the way described in this thread but most casinos won't let you do that thing as they are no fools, so we are back to square one, i.e. losing eventually

The second type of games, which poker is the most well-known example of, involves both luck and skill. You can't change your luck as it is beyond your powers and control (since otherwise it wouldn't be luck), but you can develop your skills and through that change the odds in your favor. It is the lack of enough skill that prevents people who are playing this kind of games from being successful. So with these games it is your knowledge and expertise combined that determine your success, but these are also what turns you into a pro

Purely physiologically, it is six of one and half a dozen of the other

That is, it is the same thing under different names and conventions. When you gamble, you become addicted to it because the process becomes a form of a powerful drug. You feel euphoric and ecstatic, for some time. When you are deprived of it, you feel typical withdrawal symptoms and want a new dose, time and again. In this manner, you can get addicted to trading in essentially the same way as you get addicted to gambling. And while we are at it, the process is very much like love, with the bottom line being that anything can potentially become an addictive agent if it can work as a mighty stimulator for both your brain and your body

It is not so much an event as a process, which will take time to develop

Though I understand that a 15% rise within a few hours is nothing out of the ordinary. Regardless, the reward has been halved and now we just have to wait patiently for a few months to see whether Litecoin halving is meaningless or not for its price. However, to claim that it won't have any effect on price is equal to claiming that supply doesn't affect it. For what it's worth, I don't think this is a valid assumption. But let's wait and see

In fact, I don't doubt there are a lot of games involving not just luck alone but a certain set of skills as well

As this is what I meant by professional poker players and their likes. I don't know what these likes might be, but I know it for certain that you can beat the odds in some games and activities (like sports betting). This essentially means your result depends not only on luck but also on your skill which you can develop given enough time and practice. Poker just happens to be one of the most familiar and well-known examples of this kind

Well, I can't say I'm fluent on how natural selection in particular and evolution in general work

And yes, I generally agree that from an economic point of view being healthy and motivated is better than ill and depressed. That goes without saying. However, death itself is actually an indispensable tool that evolution created as a way of getting rid of those who aren't of any use to it anymore (thereby freeing resources for those who are)

Note that I don't say whether it is right or wrong as the idea of righteousness simply doesn't belong here (only fitness and procreation reign supreme). Further, that was not actually my point. I meant you could look at it in a more personalized sort of natural selection. If your buddies don't care about their health, look at it as your advantage if you do

I don't particularly believe in that myself

But did anyone believe in the WWI on the eve of it? No one actually did or wanted that war (well, mostly) but it still happened. I mean things may escalate quickly and get out of control pretty fast. But even if major economies just go deep into recession in a semi-controllable way, the rest of the world will be writhing in pain and agony, as always. How and to what degree Bitcoin will be affected is largely unknown as we haven't yet been there. We have yet to find out how things are going to play out with cryptocurrencies if a new 2008 is to come

1% daily is actually a huge amount

For starters, that is 30% monthly (without compounding). If it was in fact possible to earn so much without busting in less than no time, casinos would be ruined as quick (as there would be no lack of people trying to exploit this strategy). The truth is, if you are going for that target, your bets will be risky as hell, and the possibility of running it for years is really minuscule. More likely, you are going to lose your balance in a couple of weeks if not days

But that's the thing with the older generation

They want all the credit for what the younger generation is currently using (pretty much like "new timers merely find ways to innovate on tech"). But how much these old-timers actually did and how much the new-timers don't? Such story is truly lost in centuries as all generations contribute more or less equally to the progress, while each one pretending to be the most helpful and valuable since the beginning of times, ever. In reality, though, there's no one particular generation that did all the dirty job for the entire history of humankind


They were standing on the shoulders of giants

I'm not sure there are so many active Facebook users

This figure is greatly exaggerated, while the real number is likely closer to a few hundred million users throughout the world. And I'm not sure about the world either as in many countries there are much better alternatives to Facebook (like VKontakte in Russia and Russian-speaking countries)

Regardless, we will likely see a few million Libra users at most, most of which will be amused and somewhat interested cryptocurrency users looking into this thing out of idle interest (and a quick buck profit opportunity). It took Bitcoin long 4 years to get some traction, so I wouldn't expect too much from this wannabe fiat killer


I think the whole shebang is fake through and through

That reminds me of early 2017

At first Bitcoin was able to crash below 900 dollars (yes, such were prices back in the day) on rumors of the Chinese Central bank banning Bitcoin (it was likely the first time that rumor emerged). Then the price quickly recovered and went above 1k again. After that, there were a few occasions when Bitcoin closed just short of 900 dollars all over again but never actually went below that mark. Now we see that the history repeats itself, though on an entirely new level of prices. So let's hope that 9k will turn out as impenetrable as 900 dollars had been two and a half years ago as we all know what happened soon thereafter
