It's great to see that you have a positive attitude towards Bitcoin and its potential for the future [SO AM I]. It's true that Bitcoin and blockchain technology have come a long way, and there's still a lot of potential for growth and innovation. With each day, more and more people are beginning to see the potential benefits of using Bitcoin, and this trend is likely to continue in the years to come. So, if you believe in the potential of Bitcoin, and you have a possibility to invest, in my opinion, it's certainly worth considering investing in it and holding on for the long term, but don't do this bluntly, please research first.
It is advisable before anyone venture into bitcoin investment or cryptocurrency investment should go for a sensitization ( knowledge and orientation) before taking the final decision to venture into investment otherwise it would be too hard and disappointing haven invested their hard earn money and it went sideways without yielding to what they thought it could be. As a matter of consideration as a new comer you should know what you need in bitcoin investment or cryptocurrency investment, for one to be stressed free he needs to look into long term investment by taking bitcoin as the only currency that would survive for long run maybe somehow taken Altcoin for short time investment with this he may have the full control of his or her investments. One more thing to take care is that when anyone invest in bitcoin they should not think that they will become rich in a day or overnight. Just like any other investment in property, land, houses, gold, stocks, the investment in bitcoin is similar and will take time to give good returns. However the return in bitcoin is far far greater than any other asset or commodity. You can check the history for yourself that ever since the bitcoin is there from 2011 , 2012 to till now the ROI of bitcoin is the highest. |

We might not know what these artificial intelligence is capable of during until we wait for few years from now to see how things are going to go like. This AI is going to be used more for evil and we need to be prepared for the worse because the time is coming to us as soon as possible. Even the government may not be able to control it themselves.
Few years is a long time, the way things are moving, we will probably know the impact of AI on gambling and Poker in a year or two. Artificial Intelligence is growing fast and almost every field of life is affected by it. In most of the cases, it is used in a good sense but we should not forget that people will also try to use it in a negative manner. Someone posted a link for free ChatGPT in forum so I had some time to experiment and talk with ''him'' and I am not impressed with answers I was getting.
If this conversation was taking place in forum I would most likely report this user for plagiarism, he is just copy-pasting bunch of stuff all the time.
There is only one official chatGPT which is free to use (although you can buy the premium version of it). The purpose of this AI is that you can get a lot of data and information from it and then use it. It's not meant to just copy paste the stuff only. There are many use cases of AI and chatGPT and people are using it cleverly for saving time and achieving other purposes. |

many gambling addicts have lost their minds because their desire to continue gambling overpowers their common sense, hence the importance of "gambling responsibly"
-cut-
That's why it's called addiction and should be taken seriously. For many people it's not something you can shake off but as addictive as drugs. If you could add possibility of financial gains to drugs, that instantly becomes more addictive as well. There's really no common sense in addictions in general and addicted people are acting very much against their best judgement because they don't get that same kind of dopamine rush from anywhere else. Addiction to gambling is a serious thing that many people fail to realize. When anyone is addicted to gambling, he or she is out of his mind and he/she fails to distinguish between right and wrong. They have the urge and need to gamble for that they will sell their things, take loans, and do whatever they can for gambling. Even though they are losing in gambling yet they still want to take more risks with the hope to win. Such people are a burden to their families as their families have to suffer a lot of financial issues because of this bad habit of addicted gamblers. |

If RR wins then I may have a point today.
Mumbai players gave an unexpected performance winning against Rajasthan Royals chasing 212 runs.
I guess every one of us was hoping Rajasthan Royals will win the match against Mumbai Indians. For the very first time, we all were on the same page and predicted Rajasthan Royals wins but MI ruined our dreams   |

I agree with you that when a gambler doesn't have the right idea about investing in Bitcoin he puts the investment in the same category as gambling. That is, gambling and investing may seem the same to those gamblers. But in reality two different things. A gambler has to invest in a platform where he/she is exposed to huge profit or loss due to Bitcoin volatility. But if it is held then it can give big returns. But gambling does not expect anything like this. The main tool of gambling is luck. If the luck is good then you can win but there is no chance of getting any fixed money on the investment.
One sentence in your comment that I really like is that gambling is totally about luck. If luck favors you will get profit and if luck doesn't favor you will face loss. But Bitcoin investment is completely different because if you save the digits by investing in Bitcoin, it will give you huge profits in the future but you may not face losses. Yes, but many people want to completely abstain from gambling because if you become strongly addicted to it, you will never be able to get out of it. Many people become destitute due to this gambling addiction and many students are ruined from their main objective of education. So those who wish to take this gambling as a career must take the step carefully. Anyone who is not addicted to gambling, only he can gamble less and therefore knows his limitation and will not lose his money. Many people are too addicted to gambling that they never think of ways that may lead them to better money management and less loss through gambling. Regardless if you have an extraordinary skills in gambling, like most of those games you have mentioned, LUCK would still be a huge factor to win
Do you know that sometimes a person is lucky and he gambles less and still ends up making more money than the one who gambles all day, stays unlucky, and ends up losing? This can be the other way around too like a person gamble less and win nothing because of bad luck while another person is lucky, he gamble more and also win more. |

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians
Such a exciting match to watch, A round of applause for majestic Yashasvi Jaiswal for Thier sunsational century in crutial situation where no big names can hold Thier wickets. Rajasthan Royals some how manage 212 target for Mumbai indian which look easy for them in start but after few dismissal things were totally out of hand from Mumbai and I taught they gonna lose it, but later the power hitting of Middle order batter Tim.David safe them from defeat and snatch the win from the mouth of Rajasthan.. This was an upset where Mumbai Indians win the match against the strong Rajasthan Royals. With this win, Mumbai Indians moved up on the table on the 7th position with 8 points. This was a very crucial win for Mumbai Indians and they are back in the race for the top 4. It was a team effort by MI where everyone contributed to chase the target mainly Suryakumar Yadav who scored 55 runs. Also, we can't forget the innings by Tim David who made 45 runs in only 14 balls and he really helped MI get this win. |

I started this lucky prediction just for fun. i was sure 100% that i cannot be among top 3 because Umer, Alone and one other user points was more than 15 when i started. I have been awarded wooden spoon because of worst performance in last round  . This is my first ever prediction contest i joined here in Bitcointalk. I will still play and will predict till the kast round to see how much point i can collect. Keeping on trying and not losing hope is the order of the day. Even if you do not win anything from this tournament, it is fun to predict the team and then see if your team wins or loses. I am also regularly choosing the team in this pool and my performance is around 50%. Some of the matches I predicted correctly while some go against my prediction. I am currently at number 4 on Leaderboard with 22 points. |

No method works 100% and winning is never a guarantee in casino games. But with little odds you can make $100 with $2k. But i will still ask why risk all $2k on a single stake when gambling is not a game of certainty. The worst loss is when you stake so much for little profit only to lose everything.I will rather prefer you split the amount into four equal halves then make stakes at different times on the same game.
As the community said and I previously had no other method to be consistent, I also don't think it would be possible to spend $2k to make a consistent profit of $100, most people lose more often than win consistently playing in casinos, but if they gamble to I think sports betting can get more profit, it's just that you need insight about that sport too, even though it's not consistent every day, but at least playing sports betting is better than playing gambling against gambling machines. There have been many casinos that I have used in the end I just lost in many casino games and how many strategies did I use when playing still in fact it will never really work, so it's better if my advice is betting on sports betting to ensure fairness from cheating rather than gambling playing casino games. There is no such thing as consistency in gambling. No one can win consistently in gambling and getting regular income from gambling is just not possible. Some people think that they can do betting and win regularly as they know the sports very well, still, no one is able to make a fixed regular income from betting also. For regular income, we need to find other sources and not gamble. Gambling is not made for this purpose to get you constant money to bear your day to day expenses. |

Today the 40th Match of Indian Premier League has already started. Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad these two teams came to the field to play. Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and came to bat. Scored 76 runs in 8 overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost 2 wickets so far. But Delhi Capitals team is playing very well. Sunrisers Hyderabad team batsmen are under a lot of pressure. Sunrisers Hyderabad may not be able to score 150 runs today.
Sunrisers Hyderabad is done batting and has set a target of 198 runs for Delhi capitals which is a good target. Delhi Capitals were more into taking wickets and didn't pay more attention on the runs. Let's see if they hit the target and beats Hyderabad to win the match. Sunrisers Hyderabad won this match. They proved to be a better team than the Delhi Capitals. Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 197 run batting first and it was the highest total on this ground. The opener Abhishek Sharma scored 67 runs in only 36 balls. Later in the innings Heinrich Klaasen also scored quick 50+ runs which helped Sunrisers Hyderabad to get a good defendable score. Delhi Capitals batted well to reach to 188 runs on this wicket but failed to chase the total of 198 runs. At one moment i thought that Delhi Capitals may take this game but when Phil Salt and Mitchell Marsh was out, the chances were less for the DC. |

What you say is true, because buying lots of lottery tickets is also not recommended because we have to risk a lot of money to be the winner. Well, but we must admit that maybe some people will buy 80% of the total tickets because they hope to win the grand prize or the jackpot from the lottery.
Gambling really depends on luck, especially for luck-based gambling games. We can't expect to be able to get the top prize or win a lot of money. And that is why we can only enjoy gambling games without thinking about winning.
Buying a lot of lottery tickets still does not guarantee that you will win a lottery but it only increases the probability of winning. Since Lottery is luck based, it can be a situation where you got let's suppose 100 lottery tickets and another person got only one lottery ticket, and when results are announced the person with only one lottery wicket wins. This is why i never recommend anyone to gather lottery tickets because you still can end up empty handed. Yes, if there are any free lottery tickets, i may participate but I won't spend much money on the lotteries. |

What's wrong with Pakistan balling why they can't take any wicket ? No a single ballers is stopping Newzealand from scoring runs .
On other hand Newzealand is batting brilliantly they are close to touching 300 runs and they still have 7 overs left so this time they are definitely going to score 350 .
Before criticizing the Pakistan bowling, please check why NZ was not able to take wickets either Pakistan still managed to take 5 of the New Zealand wickets while NZ only took 3 Pakistan's wckets.  Yes that's right. If we compare only this match so the bowling of the Pakistan was better than the New Zealand. And overall performance Pakistan again impressed me. New Zealand made good score but Pakistan batting was really good. And Fakhar Zaman played amazingly. Surprised everyone. And he has made 3000 runs in total too. Actually, it was Fakhar Zaman who single handedly won the match for the Pakistan team. He alone scored 180 runs which made this target look easy. Also, he was supported by Babar Azam who scored 65 runs and Muhammad Rizwan who made 54 runs. I am impressed by thie performance of their batting line up but can they keep up the same performance in the coming matches, it is a big question. This is a series of 5 ODIs and Pakistan have won the first two of them. Now Pakistan only need one more win and they will take the series away from the NZ. The NZ team needs to rethink on how to control this batting lineup and try to win the next matches. |

I belong to a highly superstitious culture where gambling is also prevalent. Superstition and gambling shouldn't go together, but they seem to be deeply intertwined in my culture that things are getting both funny and unreasonable.
Patterns form part of this superstition. I sometimes bet on cockfighting. This brutal form of gambling is also deeply cultural. And this is also where bettors look for patterns everywhere including the color of the fighting cocks' feathers, the color of their legs, the phase of the moon, and so on.
At the end of the day, many go home bringing nothing. LOL!
Are you serious? Do people bet on cocks based on the colors of their feet and feathers instead of their fighting abilities?  That's hilarious, no wonder why they go home with nothing at the end of the day. Superstition should never be taken seriously when it comes to gambling because it's purely a game of luck and none of these things have anything to do with winning or losing. People who look at patterns and believe they might have an influence on their games and luck are basically living in a world full of dreams and are not able to see things practically. Nothing other than luck can make you win in gambling unless the game is skill-based. There is no cure for Superstitions. People believe in something which makes no logical sense but still, they will feel comfortable betting based on their Superstitions beliefs. Sometimes they will win the bets and this will make their Superstition belief more strong. Such people will never listen to you if you say that they are emotional and these Superstitions do not make any difference in the result of the game. I would suggest leaving those people to their beliefs as they are happy with what they are doing, meaning not make fun of them or spend time proving them wrong. |

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans showed a good game. Kolkata Knight Riders finished the game with 179 runs and 7 wickets in 20 overs. Calcutta batsman Gurbaz did a great batting performance today thanks to his runs Kolkata scored 179 runs. Gurbaz scored 81 runs from 39 balls. He took the target to score a century from his bat but luckily got out. But currently Gujarat Titans are doing well in batting performance and their There are enough wickets in hand. Of course Gujarat Titans won't need too many runs to win at this point. If they can keep the game going like this without losing a wicket then GT will surely win. Currently GT 148 runs 3 wickets now they need to score 32 runs in 23 balls to win Gujarat Titans it's not much runs.
In the end, it was an easy win for Gujarat Titans as they won by 7 wickets with almost 2 overs remaining. Harshit Rana, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine took one wicket each and Kolkata Knight Riders were able to take only three wickets. Due to this the pressure never came on Gujarat Titans and they made this chase easily. With this win, Gujarat Titans reached the top of the point table with 12 runs. For sure, Gujarat Titans are looking to be one of the best teams in this year's Indian Premier League. They will surely qualify for the top 4 but will they make it to the winner of IPL, this is yet to be seen. |

We all suffer from gambling losses because this is how things are you win some lose a lot and we have to be responsible for all our actions while we are playing
But Do You Have losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day like you could have bought a new car with that loss
I will not ask how you overcome or deal with it but the year and amount or a figure and on what game
If gambling loss still haunts you then gambling is not made for you. When you gamble, you should bear in mind that you can lose your money and you should gamble with the money for which the loss do not make you sad. Although no money is extra for us, but this is how the experienced gamblers tell us. In gambling, we have to face big losses just like we get some big wins in gambling. If your old gambling loss is in the back of your mind, you will never be able to enjoy gambling, and also your gamble will be driven more towards the emotions of recovering the losses. |

KKR kept the qualifier dream alive by winning the last match. They have a match against Gujarat Titans today, if they win today's match, Kolkata will go a long way in qualifying for IPL. But no matter how the team performs I think any four teams out of these five teams Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Gujarat Titans, LSG, and Bengaluru will qualify in this IPL.
I would not call it a good batting performance by Kolkata Knight Riders today however in the end they end up with a reasonable score of 179. Except for Rahmanullah Gurbaz who scored 81 runs in only 39 balls, no other batsmen scored any big runs. As a result, they ended up under 200 runs. When your opponent is as strong as Gujarat Titans, then it is extremely hard for KKR to defend this moderate total. GT has already scored 78 runs and lost only one wicket. If they do not lose some quick wickets, they will easily win this match. Andre Russell took one wicket. Kolkata Knight Riders needs more wickets from their bowlers right now else match will slip away from them. |

Second ODI between Pakistan and Newzealand.
Pakistan after winning the toss decided to bowl first. Pakistanis are normally not a good chasers but seeing the Rawalpindi pitch conditions it's best decision to bowl first. After completion of 9 overs New Zealand are 52 for the loss of opener WILL YOUNG. New Zealand gave a target of 288 runs in first ODI which was easily chased by Pakistan. Today new zealand need to score over 300 to give there bowlers a chance to win the game.
Look like New Zealand is all set to take revenge for the first ODI and today they are aiming to get 300+ runs and hope Pakistan will become under pressure and may not be able to chase the big total. 150 for 2 in 25 overs is all set for 300+ in 50 overs. Right? Daryl Mitchell is playing at 58, still not out, with 8 wickets still in hand, I will bet that NZ will win this 2nd ODI and keep the series alive Pakistan Bowlers are unable to show any resistance to the NZ batting. |

I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more, it all started when we got into an argument that investing in Bitcoin is not the same as gambling, my friends who are gamblers, not full-time but more of a gambler than I am, are claiming that there is no difference between investing and gambling, they said if all you doing is investing money on Bitcoin you are no different to those who are gambling in a casino.
Still, I refuse this because I believe they are wrong, Bitcoin market has charts and I am playing with charts even if I am a full-time Bitcoin trader, all I need to do is read charts, and if I am good at it I will win vs gambling, where it's you vs a company which we can never tell if their games are completely fair or not.
Furthermore, I told them that Bitcoin investors tend to get positive results, while online casino gamblers tend to get negative results more than positive result, true or false?
I asked them to show me prove that they make more from gambling than they lose, none of them showed me, but I prove to them that I hardly have losses investing in Bitcoin lol .
Famz, drop your opinion on this, would you categorize these two as gambling? Because the only winning factor from Bitcoin investment is to just buy low and wait for a high price, it's not the same with casinos. Am I not making sense? I will like to hear from you.
Gambling less make you lose less money, so if you do not gamble at all, you will lose nothing. Also, trading is risky too and people lose money in trading too. So what if they do not gamble, they will not lose money at all. I think you are talking this discussion in a wrong way. There are gamblers who will gamble no matter they lose or win. People have passion for gambling and they even enjoy and have fun while gambling. Secondly, risk is involved in everything. If you gamble, and take risk, there is a little probability that you will earn big money as oppose to taking no risk and earning nothing. |

Pakistani team is unpredictable at any format of cricket, they will lose match against a weak time but at the same time they has ability to brutally punished any big team like Australia, India, england etc, so underestimating Pakistan team will worth too expensive.
This unpredictable nature of the Pakistan team may be good for the team itself as it can beat any strong team on a given day but they can also lose to any small team anytime. This is why betting on cricket matches in which Pakistan is playing is very risky and sometimes the unpredictable nature of the Pakistan team becomes a nightmare for the gamblers betting on the match. For example, based on the Pakistan performance in this match, we can bet on the Pakistan team in the next match to be the favorites but then the risk is too high as the Pakistan team is unpredictable and if they lose, we shall lose our money  . Taking this into account, if we bet on NZ, then what if Pakistan played their naturally good game and did not lose, and we again lose money |

Lsg settles for 257, I was hoping highest ipl target of 263 from RCB was going to break today but nope. Stoinis got out on stupid shot, his and Pooran's partnership would have broke it.
Forget about the highest IPL total, tell me can Punjab Kings chase this score? I think this is an almost impossible task for the Punjab Kings to chase when they are 50-2 in almost 5 overs. The required run rate is 14.4 and they need to maintain it for the next 15 overs which is next to impossible. Coming back to the highest totals in IPL, here is something interesting.  |
|
|

Currently, they are trailing by 135 runs which mean we need 35 to 40 overs for covering this difference and then surely another 40 to 50 overs for having 200+ target which can give them good chance to home side, but now all things depend on weather which is not good for the last two days of play.
Sri Lanka has declared their first innings with a lead of 212 runs, then they managed to take all the wickets of Ireland within the first two sessions of the final day. I didn't expect Ireland to lose this match as they played well in the first innings. I had placed a small bet on draw after the day 3, The outcome odds were 1.02× only . Ireland players have to practice a lot to do better in Test format. Maybe Ireland did not expect to be 212 runs behind after making 492 runs in the first innings. In the 2nd innings, they took the pressure and lost the wickets quickly resulting in losing the match. See the Srilankan innings for a while and you will see Nishan Madushka making 205 runs, Kusal Mendis making 245 runs along with a couple of hundreds by the other two batsmen. Srilankan team dominated the match and eventually, the team Ireland with less experience fail to save this match. |
