Trading can give us bigger profits but the process is harder and riskier, and with a single mistake, you will end up ruining all your funds instantly that’s why never trade when you think you are not ready to risk your money and you don’t have sufficient skills to trade.

 However, investing and long term hodling can also give you decent profits but the waiting time to profit is longer as it could take years before you can see possible profits. Patience is a must so if you think you’re not that highly patient, then never enter investing and long term hodling because you will only lose your money since you can’t stand the pressure of market volatility.

When you talk about parlay, you know you'll only win it with luck, without it, it's not gonna happen.
However, since parlay offers a slim chance of winning, then expect that you have to be so lucky to win, as only few will experience a win, especially with a huge payout like x1000.


The guy got beaten up by the system, you know, casinos win in the long run, so as long as that winner you knew will continue to gamble, eventually he'll lose his money, it's just a matter of time. And it will be shorten as he gets more aggressive.

You forgot to mention the Magnolia Hotspots who is currently the number 1 in standing.

Actually, 3 (SMB teams) and 1 (MVP team) only that will reach to the semis, if Meralco will advance in the Finals, this would make a finals more interesting. And to make the PBA to generate more money again, most likely Ginebra will advance, I don't know how they'll do it, but if JMF isn't 100%, that could happen.

Magnolia is good though, no underestimating them but they don't attract the crowd, it's only Ginebra that could help the PBA to make big money during the Finals.

I would also advise the same, use Bitcoin Lightning Network for instant payments plus lower transaction fees compared to what we experienced using Blockchain transactions. That way, users will feel more convenient to pay bitcoin.

However, having discounts is a good option but it should also be limited. Let’s say the first 20-30 customers per day will get a 15% off so that everyone will be encourage to buy at your shop using bitcoin payment.

The last tip has the most appeal to me. No need to rush, always take your time to gain knowledge about how to secure your crypto and protect them from all types of scam. Unplanned decisions will only put you into a worst situation, such as making you fall for the scammer’s trap since your greed is bigger than your own knowledge in crypto.

A lot of crypto investors who end up in failure are those whose actions and decisions are motivated by greed, thus if you want to stay safe and protected at all times, follow the basics and get rid of greed.

Yes, it’s the reality but we know definitely that it won’t be good for us in the long run. It’s better to still live in balance, give enough time to work to earn, and do not forget to rest for a while and enjoy your current life. That’s how it should be, but unfortunately people focus more on earning money and never get contented and still find other means for additional income, until the body decides to quit and end up stop working on its own.

Although it’s a requirement for us to work and earn adequate income, but we all know there’s no enough for us. We still work hard no matter what, even in times that we’re supposed to rest and enjoy what we’ve got.

This is the most effective strategy to attract scammers since you chose to announce it than to find pro traders in silence. Just expect after that there will be numerous self-claimed professional traders who will try to deceive you so you can entrust to them your funds. If you are not wise enough, you will end up falling on their trap and certainly get scammed.

However, my point is if you think trading is profitable, then you should learn it as well. You have all the funds and resources to trade, you just need to find confidence in yourself to start learning trading so you can grow your funds while maximizing your trading profits.

Any hard-earned bitcoin or money is never meant to be burned, regardless of how much its value as long as the owner works hard for it, then it’s odd to consider burning bitcoin, unless if the transaction made becomes an erroneous one. And I’d say this is obviously not intentional either, 26 btc is certainly huge, no one would dare simply throwing it away without valid purpose.

Burning bitcoin in the past might not be an issue since the value is still absolutely low, but hey with its current value, anyone would be throwing even 1 btc is not on his proper thinking, except if the transaction goes wrong, then it’s hard to retrieve it again.

Joshua has a decent chance of winning this fight compared to fighting Fury or Usyk again which are legit champions. And those two are in a unification fight, so Joshua must have to be busy looking for a fight and this came on time. Most of you might be thinking that Ngannou will beat Joshua because the latter has a weak chip, but let's just watch and see as the gambling experts does not say the same.

And we can confim that on the betting odds.

That's for sure, but he has to win first. I hope he isn't hype because of what he did to Fury. This one is different though because Joshua sure gonna prepare hard for this.

Cutting your losses will create an advantage if you are trading using leverage, that is to limit your losses so you won't lose a huge amount that you can't afford losing. However, if you only trade just a small amount, I think cutting your losses is not that essential. You can trade and lose your small capital, and that's okay. You can still trade again when you're able and capable enough, as despite of your losses, you are also learning as well.

We don't own enough bitcoin but even in the future, if you keep thinking your bitcoin won't be enough, then you will lost control of other matters in your life because you are too focused on bitcoin which I think is already not good. Bitcoin is not all what it takes, and is not all what we need in life.

To be honest, bitcoin is just a portion of our life's happiness, we can still be happy even if we don't gain majority of it.

I usually bet on favorites, and when I'm very confident in my bet, I tend to place it early as soon as the line is available.

Based on what I've noticed, favorite lines often move as the game time approaches. For instance, if I bet on the favorite at -3.5, and the line moves to -4.5 nearing the game, it could mean I'm getting value. This adjustment could provide me with an additional point, which would be beneficial if the favorite only wins by 4. However, please do note that this strategy is not guaranteed to work all the time. There are instances when significant line movement only occurs due to a sudden announcement, such as a star player not playing for whatever reasons, or changing from a previously listed doubtful status to active. Such scenarios are typically outliers, making them special cases.

We are wrong with our expectation, they are actually playing with an import and I can see on the boxscore now.

RHJ with 6 points already, 2nd to Oftana, so it's safe to assume that he is fully healthy in this game.
The odds seems telling us that TNT will be playing without an import as they were -2 before this game. I think I'm gonna take this chance to do some live betting action now and I will be betting on the TNT with 2.25 ML odds.

Edit : sorry, the new import is still RHJ, but he is a different guy, he is Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson the brother of the old import of TNT.

On the poll quetion that goes "Should I expand the list to add crypto sportsbooks that arent on bitcointalk??".. my vote was not necessary.

This forum has a wide list of sportsbook already, so I like to see only sportsbook that are listed here because they have their ANN thread and we can see their updates easily. Additionally, since for us feedback  is very important, with their account here, we will see how reputable they are as a casino or sportsbook.

I think your list will increase since for sure more sportsbook will come to the forum this year to gain exposure.

Futures trading is gambling if you lack the experience to make it work. But if you are a professional trader, futures trading will give you more chances to acquire profits because you have the knowledge and skills to make it work and happen.

However, for newbies who decide to resort into futures trading, the risk to lose is high compared to spot trading. My advise is, don’t rush into futures trading just because of its high promising profits but gain learning experience and skills first before you decide to take bigger risks when trading.

I think the fear of failure or the fear to lose is a big issue when you aim for financial success in the future. It’s hard to see and gain profits without losing in the first place, as most those who are in the peak of success these days have experienced losing a lot before.

Having the fear to failure will certainly put limits to your own potentials to succeed in the future. So do not keep with this kind of mindset because that will obviously won’t help you in the long run.

I'm not a gambling addict mate but it's not good for me. I think we can only talk about percentage like that here if we are earning a significant amount of money, regardless on where it's coming from. Man, most of the gamblers I think are just in the middle class, so let's say the average they are making is only $500, 1% of $500 is only $5.... Does anyone here enjoy gambling with a budget of $5 per month?

No gambling site would run a review campaign reading negative comments from reviewers. Maybe those that are constructive criticisms could be acceptable, but anything that are destroying the reputation of the business is not good. Although it might not be written in the rules but it's already understood that once you are hired, your review must have content that will help the company to grow.

I think this is the only very brave website that despite knowing they have a bad reputation in the forum, probably outside too, they still run an honest review campain .

I guess Bitcoin volatility is more important rather than bitcoin stability. We don't want to see bitcoin price stops surging high just to encourage stability on its price. Hence, the more volatility, the bigger chances that bitcoin price will reach new all time high every year. However, stability can only happen if bitcoin stops being volatile, which means it's price will never be susceptible anymore to price change or increase.

Great decision picking the Pacers on their home court. On the last 3 games they played, it was on the home court of Bucks, and Indiana won of them, so playing at home infront of a huge crowd, this should inspire them more. I am gonna tail with you on this pick mate. About the OKC, I think I'll pass, I just bet bigger on Indiana, and this is just probably my bet for tomorrow.
