2781  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: September 08, 2023, 10:04:11 PM
This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue
This advice have been very helpful to me personally because since I started to apply some of the suggestions in ops I have started making better informed decisions in my gambling journey most especially in sportbook analyses and other few in house casino based games.

Most importantly in the area of taking a break in between the game session to free up your brain,  is very important to have that at the back pf your mind,  because having your brain congested can lead to a more drastic end most especially in the area of making decisions during the games.

Managing gambling addictions is a personal responsibility and those who already know the danger of addictions,  will possibly set mechanisms in place to protect themselves from sliding into addictions.

Aggressive buying is mostly during an overly discounted Bitcoin market period,  and do so should be done with funds that have no need for for as long as the time can take to make adequate profits in the long term, 
It seems a little normal as we are perceived to be able to afford much larger purchases and with our greed in mind, these thoughts will always be there.
But on the other hand, this kind of aggressiveness will actually disrupt your rhythm especially when doing DCA. because indeed when discussing consistent DCA, the emergence of thoughts of being too impulsive will cause our DCA to be disrupted which makes this a little risky.
I previously made mistakes like this especially when bitcoin was at the price of $20k at that time, even though it was still profitable from a calculation point of view but on the other hand my DCA was disrupted because of the impulsive nature that I did so I had to change from the beginning of the DCA concept that I did and it was actually a little troublesome.
When I say aggressive what I intend is that when the price of Bitcoin drops significantly to the point that the obvious is that you be at an advantage in buying at that time,  most especially when you make the buying out of cash that is left over.

Not with money that is already budgeted for something else,  at most we should not be under any form of pressure at whatever point since we ought to make our best decision free from any form of pressure in both short and long term.

Nice initiative you got here mate, This thread can serve as a decision ground for various leagues,  I believe this thread will go down well with other sports bet lovers,  I can't measure how helpful threads like the UEFA Champion thread and the premiere league and the other football discussion threads that we have on this board.

Such discussions are very much helpful in terms of analysis provision and other information that can help sports bettors make better-informed decisions as they stake the bet, More exciting it is that this thread is coming at a time when various football leagues are on,  this is just a start of a new season so we should expect to see comments.
2784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does an online Foodbetting site sound? on: September 08, 2023, 07:27:57 PM

I wouldn't call this a sport,instead it should be a competition. i have seen so many of this food eating contest down here in my country and it is always fun. i can't bet on such because you wouldn't be able to know who will win and it can also be manipulated. You can't find such game in the casino because it will be boring for gamblers to bet on. I have a friend that when we were young,he loves to partake in such competitions and he always win
That is it,  if the game is involving multiple people competing for who can consume the highest portion of food and that is more of a competition and not game that could be implemented into he casinos,  this form of games are more locally breed and this is why a lot of those that play it are found in the same locations.

I for once have taken part in a similar game like a food competition but the ultimate prize is always the portion of the hot food you consumed more than your opponen Wewe never bet with money anyways it was just for the fun and nothing else.
2785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: September 08, 2023, 07:05:14 PM


For these reasons we must always take something into Consideration , this time it was serious what they were able to violate in the casino , but this casino has security in everything , even so they were able to enter and do that, now in other casinos that are less recognized, that do not They pay so much to have such a high security system, because they can steal anything from money to the data of the players with their balances and having access to everything they can have and do, that is the dangerous thing, they can do a lot of KYC of whales that in other casinos can be compromised, this is something that no one has seen what they can do, however, I am one of those who think that as long as they are in casinos they are considered safe, if there is a hack the impact is Hard but not serious, But in a nascent casino , which has Relatively little security if they can do many other things , that is the fear of Many.

I wonder when the cyber space will be able to combat this notorious hacker called the Lazarus and if there was an insider in this job it certain that the security is not still safe since data could get licked in the future,  stake. com and a global leading casino will be the most targeted for hackers and for that, the team need to really step up their games, These hackers are bad and their network is caught across global space and possibly have an insider for any of their job.

It is not an easy task to break through the security wall of a casino unless the hacker is shown the door from the inside,  I know others may not have such a conviction-like mind but I am somehow convinced that the stake incident is an inside thing.

We have absolutely no connection to the owners of 999dice. We are completely different people, and we are newcomers to this sphere!!!

But why are you shilling or posting for them including their website address when you know you're having no connection with them, isn't it better if they can come onboard by themselves and create their ANN thread for discussion, i think if you should onky be limited to sharing your experience in playing with them on their website than going this far with what they didn't request from you to do, this clearly shows that there may be something more hidden to us about your intentions for doing this.
The ops already exhibited some behaviour that raised a lot of questioning and he is still not ready to do anything about that,  I guess is now important for us to seat back and see where this activities will lead the ops to,  because even me myself was shocked to see ops denying his involvement with the casino but he is yet here promoting them.

I wanted placing the ops in ignore but as a matter of fact and discussion I will still follow the thread to see if we're settled to, I guess the up game will be clear as time goes on,  and for the same reason that ops is avoiding getting involved in discussions also shows how unready he is.

X is quite alright for the name but twitter already a trade mark and signature it already built for years so you should not be bothered if they still call it twitter. Any one who hears the name knows what you are talking about and will easily connect to your conversations with asking for clarification or getting lost.

So referring x to twitter while making a post or comment will make it easier for connection so that those who are still yet to grab will understand.
Yeah that the same point I was talking about,  the mentioning of both names make it easier for the reader to know about the change in the brand name even though the name twitter seem to be very popular with the social media already and it going to take such a long time to take it off absolutely from the site.


I may try this casino sports book out in the coming days since I will have some free time in the coming weeks to lag around with and test out some cool games.
2788  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does an online Foodbetting site sound? on: September 08, 2023, 05:46:08 PM
We have so many types of bet that can not be included in a casino and these local games are found in different geographical locations that differs in setting and kind from place to place,  I have taken part in food betting before way back as an undergraduate student,  and even water battle seating betting also.

We have so many of such locally played games that are not possibly listed on casinos and that can be because casinos already have their hand full with so many other games that take their attention away from developing such games and implementing them in their casinos.

OK, JayJuanGee
I deleted the post, delete you too!

There is no reason for me to delete the post since even my post clarified the text and since you were providing topic relevant information.. and I don't even have any problem with you citing text from the article in your post.. it just was not made clear regarding that the text was coming from the article rather than from you, and even my above description clarifies that you had only authored the first sentence of that post and the other parts of the text in the post came from the article..

I am not even blaming you for anything beyond being sloppy... even though it could have had been misread by some readers. which was why I said anything at all.
Thanks to JayJuanGee for being such an active experienced member on this thread always pointing out some obvious avoidable mistakes as they come along with individual contributions on this thread as regards the discussions related to El Salvador Bitcoin project which have come along in many phases that allows divergence opinions and discussions while some are informative,  other could be off the topics and is the responsibility of members to react to comments on this thread which is why you reply prompted the mate to delete the post.

But that been said, I will like to see more development in the area of payment gateways that are out of the coffers of the government,  and also making records of El Salvadorians that are making use of custodial wallet vs those who choose the cex approved wallets.
2790  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: September 08, 2023, 08:34:29 AM


They will be tracking your IP related to your VPN and if it comes from the strict country like US and verifying KYC is a must. The casino was just trying to deal with the regulation. Better for them to avoid having trouble with the regulators.

Changing DNS or using WARP are always become the best method to bypass it. I do understand if sometimes ISP could also block the access to the casino as well.
Some casino were also very strict on their users.
Aside from the regulatory compliance,  there are other form of practices by the gambler that can warrant the casino to demand for kyc and this can be pointed out veg the conduct of the gambler while playing on the site,  there have been cases of gamblers abuses of casinos to exploit the bonus system and some other features,  VPN come as a victim and more of regulatory demands and that is why some time the casino never demand for KYC verification if the gambler operates within the laws and doesn't violates the terms and conditions of the casino.
2791  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals!|ARGENTINA & AVFC on: September 08, 2023, 08:18:32 AM
We have our own free choice and free will , if we dont wanna deal with KYC then dont play with it simple as that , I don't know why does others making it complicated when the site is not forcing them to play with them?
they should respect the rules or play no more.
On the other perspective, casinos are a business and they have owners and those owners have their own free will as well. So while we do have the right to play somewhere with KYC or not play there if we do not want to, it's all our own decision, these casinos also have an option to either follow the rules and have KYC if they want to or they may disagree and not have KYC if they do not want to.
wrong mate, they need to comply in laws depending in which country they are operating according to licensing .
so either the owner will comply to  KYC or they will be sued in the future.
Quote
We just have to accept their decision, it's their casino and they can do whatever they want with it and that should be the only important part of it. Without that, we are not going to end up with anything shocking like people pressuring a casino into removing KYC, that's not right and should not be happening at the moment.
don't compare the decisioning from casino owners to the players , because the players has their option to choose but the site needs to comply by the law and rules mate.
Very well right there,  the casino must have to comply with regulatory requirements and if their mus have license it then means that the operates within the stipulated laws that establishes them and for the fact that many of the cex casino have stated fully in their terms and conditions of services that whenever their notice any wrong behaviour or the player passed his threshold their can demand for kyc and for that their stand the chances of implementing that law on the long run.

So for the player, you still have options to choose from,  because if you as a player don't want to play in a kyc casino,  you can decide to stick to only decentralized casinos that do not require kyc to operate.

Edited out

I don't understand how this is a good news when the league is suppose to kick off at a particular date and the next thing is the postponement of the start of the season.
If other teams or let me some teams are not ready to me is not suppose to be a problem for organizers, a date is a date and is killing to performance of the league in a way that is some how not giving our league a good standard to even compete with other African leagues, to me is not a welcome development at all.
My point is that,  for the team that did not start well in their pre season matches,
 before the postponement will have the chances of making extra efforts to addressing their lapses just like I mentioned before,  and what motivated my comment is the fact that some clubs were already riding on a bad spot in the pre season games, before this postponements and if you look closely at this clubs,  not that their lack players but what you can see is that,  there is no proper integration of those players with each other and that was affecting their coordination during their friendly matches.

So the postponement will give the clubs enough time,  even though this development may not be favourable to all football fans but then this is not the first time games have been postponed so we must leave up with that.

What's up with rivers united this season,  I have not being following up with the Kate's inn the local leagues but from the public commentaries that I hard over the radio sometime last week,  the season doesn't look favourable to Rivers United who seems to have dominated the league in previous seasons.

Just seeking to get an update about the current standing or if you anyone has a link to point me to where I can get the current updates on happenings in the Nigeria local leagues.
The game has been postponed till further notice, here is the letter of it.

When the new date of the season comes out then there will be new fixtures of the tournament .
Ohh great I guess this postponement came after I hard that commentary that cut my attention to this discussion and this is a good one for the clubs that seem to be underperforming before the postponement of matches because this will give them extra time to train well and also to be able to work on their lapses before the resumption of the league.

Good luck to all the team and we look forward to seeing them in good faith and with the best performances when the league resumes.
2794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: September 07, 2023, 11:41:04 PM
There are somethings that are easy to say but to put it into action is the problem. To quit something that has been installed into the bone is not easy to do but easy to talk. And gambling is not only for fun but also for income. There are some gamblers that went to the sportsbook center or casino hall to play game because of income and not fun. So gambling is for the both side of the coin.

As others have said, quiting gambling need strong mindset because at that stage the gambler might be an addicted one. But if he wants he can still stop gambling.
Well, I agree with all you have said aside from that which you said about gambling being for income, gambling was never meant to serve as a source of income for any body, gambling for income is just an abuse of gambling, but then, it's really not surprising that many gamblers today see gambling for income as a normal thing and even encourage it, gambling for income is one of the major reason or driver and cause of gambling addiction , and for anyone who wishes to gamble peacefully with little to no chance of getting addicted , such gambler must do away with gambling for income, chasing income through gambling drive gamblers into wagering money they can't afford to lose, and when they lose the money, they start looking for all means to win the money back which often results in more and more losses, before they probably realize what is happening, gambling has become a major part of their lives, something they can no longer do without , this is addiction .
That is very correct and that is what gave birth to the popular saying that ( it is easier said than done) with that I believe we should know what hell of a hard job it is to get out of gambling addictions or any form of addictions at all,  this is why we always encourage ourselves to always try as much as possible to avoid falling into gambling addictions.

Because to get out of it is very hard,  and one of the many reasons that cause addictions in society today is lack of self-control allowing yourself to become overly excessive on some things that you should have ordinarily managed to avoid it happening.
2795  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 07, 2023, 11:29:25 PM
I have no doubt in Real Madrid ability this season even as the club faces some early challenges in this season,  what most of the speculators and football analysts failed to know is that just because a perceive big players in out of the team doesn't mean they team will not have a better replacement,  just as mentioned even though Benzema is out of the team because of injury there will be another replacement for him that will deliver for the club in coming matches.

Let's see how Real Madrid handles all of this,  and from the result of their upcoming matches, we will know what awaits the club going forward.
In fact, Real Madrid still has no top striker who can replace Benzema, right? Although they have Bellingham, he can't play as a striker, he is an attacking midfielder. So, we can understand if people doubt with Real Madrid. However, I appreciate if you never feel doubt, it is a good attitude if you are a real fan. But when we must think realistically, we must admit that Real Madrid may get a problem when they must play against strong teams.

So far, they won all the first 4 matches and Bellingham could score in each match. Let's see if he can do it again when Real Madrid plays against Atletico Madrid in matchday 6 and Barcelona in matchday 11. If Real Madrid won all these matches and Bellingham still can contribute well, we can ensure that Real Madrid is no problem without a top striker.


If we start looking at all the many disabilty with Real Madrid or any other clubs in this season then it means we are not open up to possibilities from the younger players that are on the line up,  and what we must know is that,  be for Benzema or all the other top players got to the level where they are they were given chances to prove themselves and this is an opportunity to the young players who will be taking their position to show case the stuffs their made of and if luck be on their side to create any record it will be to their own advantage even more than for the club..

But even no matter how Real Madrid lacks strikers, they are still very much grounded to be able to take on any possible opposition in this season.

I've had the best luck, the fastest withdrawal and deposits from https://www.bitcoincasino.us/ they do require a 3x wager of amount deposit but the cash out immediately. What do any of you think?
Gamblers luck differs and sometime it doesn't necessary have to depend on the luck to be able to win some rewards from a casino,  you may have an early loss in a casino and think that your luck is not there,  but if you persist further,  you will know that what it takes is just not to give up easily and try as much as possible to always be consistent and calculative.

If you found your luck on the mentioned casino,  so be it but also we have some much exciting and good rewarding casinos that you can try out too.
2799  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: September 07, 2023, 10:39:32 PM
[edited out]
When we aggressively buy bitcoins, we may have various concerns about the price of bitcoins. If Bitcoin falls during that time we may lose our spiritual speed we had. Not only the speed even if I need the money which I invested in bitcoin if the price reduce drastically at that moment definitely I have to loss. I would  be forced to sell the bitcoins and have to share the loss.

There is nothing wrong with being aggressive and even over aggessive in terms of your buying bitcoin, but you should not be so aggressive and/or overly aggressive that at any time you would be forced to sell bitcoin at a loss or even when bitcoin is at down prices.  Your having to sell bitcoin at a loss is likely a sign that you had not properly planned and prepared, and the default, prior to even getting to selling would be to stop buying, and then the fall back on that would be to HODL. .until your cashflow sufficiently returns, which means funding whatever expenses that you had from other funding sources, and the fact that you are saying that you had to sell, means that you likely were not even in a position to buy as many BTC as you had bought and you did not have an adequate and sufficient emergency fund and other adequate and sufficient funds to draw from (including varying cashflows and/or debt).

So why do we walk on that road if we have directions to reach our desired goal without taking risks?

taking risks should not mean engaging in gambling tactics that involve potentially putting you in a position in which you are going to have to sell your bitcoin if the price drops lower than you had expected... that is not called risk management, but instead it is called dumb.

Hence the DCA strategy is a golden opportunity for Bitcoin holders. Especially those who want to gift a secure financial environment to their next generation.

Even a DCA strategy requires appropriate sizing in terms of being aggressive and even being overly aggressive, but not so aggressive that we end up having to sell at a loss rather than just holding to zero, if need be.
Aggressive buying is mostly during an overly discounted Bitcoin market period,  and do so should be done with funds that have no need for for as long as the time can take to make adequate profits in the long term,  I agree with what JayJuanGee said that you shouldn  be over aggressive with your Bitcoin buying but doing so on a calculated risk and buying with spare cash that you don't have need for,  as against some greedy investors who because they want to take advantage of market gall going all in with money that they can't afford to do without for a while and putting themselves in a position that make them to be in a rush to sell off at any given chances or even selling of the btc at lose when they can't continue to hold since the bought the Bitcoin at a time financial conditions.

Buying the dip for the long term is best done when you have put all the possibility of any future pressure to sell have been settled,  DCA approach is best when you are buying all the way down,  leaving the Bitcoin for a long period and getting back to check whahasve become of the bitcoin investment on the long run.

Got attracted to this thread thinking that ops already got evidence to support the claims that both casino and related and according to the thread title,  was meant to be so but reading through the entire text I discovered that ops were just emphasizing on what we are already discussing on the 0xbet ANN thread.

The truth of the matter is that time will prove everything and not going to take long before the true identity behind the 0xbet will come out, Consistency is what will reveal their true identity since there is no evidence and the 0xbet is still very well in business haven't defended themselves.
