2981  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: November 05, 2020, 06:45:25 PM
There is no way any team would want 34 million dollars on their books that could use him to a point it would actually worth 34 million dollars. Let's be honest he got that deal when he was a very good player, but he didn't really worth 34 million dollars any point in his career.

He was definitely a great player but we are talking about 15th biggest salary in the NBA and I could name at least 25 better players than Hayward right now, sure there are some who are young and there are some who didn't get the super max just yet because of accolades (I mean doncic gets rookie contract according to rules) but even at his height he didn't worth 15th best salary if you ask me.

His best season was like a 21 ppg year and I do not feel like that really worths a 34 million dollar contract, at best he deserves around 22 million or so. Which is why I believe nobody will take him, he stays one more year at Celtics and goes for a lower contract after next year never getting paid that much ever again.

I have no idea how any of this works so I am not going to say it is possible or not possible. If these defi exchanges are doing something that I am not aware of that creates over 5% profit per month for every dollar you put in, that would be return on your investment and it would be possible but looking at what they do I do not see how they could be making % profit per month without ever not making any profit, every business has great days and every business has bad days and guaranteeing return is not something I am very much in love with.

Sure it could be possible to provide your stablecoins and they could use it to become bigger and with the profits they make they could pay you back with interest however the only thing that bothers me is the fixed return, if it was "get back whatever we profit from" that would have been better.
2983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: November 04, 2020, 08:44:08 AM
Depends on the bet you are making and the teams you are betting for.

People love to talk about individual bets having a higher turn around for profit because you do not risk as much, if you wager on 10 games that week and 9 of them wins while one of them losses that means you are going to end up with a loss just because you did multi bet versus if you did each individually you will be making a profit thanks to that 9 game wins and that 1 loss won't be a big deal. However that is just one example, what about that 3 game almost guaranteed teams?

They are giving 3.9 even when you combine all three of them, it is that "guaranteed" that they will win, if you end up betting individually you are not going to make anything but if you lose one of them you are losing it all as well. Hence, why I think it all depends on the bet you make.
2984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Suggest the best strategy on: November 04, 2020, 06:57:15 AM
Being disciplined in your strategy could mean a lot of profit for many people. It is not about picking the right strategy, obviously some of them are better than the others and picking a good one over a bad one is vitally important but after picking a good one there is really no need to change anything. What you could do however would be to actually stay with that strategy through thin and thick.

If you could keep up the same strategy for a long period of time, it will definitely work more often than not and if you leave emotions (like not betting on your favorite team) you could probably lose some along the way and be down time to time but in the long run you could make a profit. However people do give up and switch and do different things sometimes to find a better angle which results with losses.
2985  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: US 2020 Elections data, polls and bets on: November 03, 2020, 05:20:12 PM
Knowing the winner on election night (or a day later) is not really a topic for anyone anyway. What we already know is "unofficial" results very quickly, when you get a result from few states that should be the important swing results, you get the idea, like do you really need to wait for California and New York to finish counting? We know who they voted for right? So at the end of the day we do get unofficial results very quickly and official one can come later on.

What the topic here that Trump is trying to make is the fact that if he wins, he wins and there is no story there, he could milk it even after he won (he complained about voter fraud after he won in 2016) but it is not a big deal. However if he loses, he will do everything in his power to make it look like he actually won but there was fraud that made him "look like he lost" instead of actually losing.
2986  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can IDENA price touch $1 ? on: November 02, 2020, 09:26:21 PM
I think having no utility at all was the reason why idena died so much in price. I got involved when it was 25 cents as well, I didn't buy idena at all I am just a user and I made around 400 or so idena so far all from being active and solving each 2 weeks, so I didn't spend any money.

However one thing is for sure, I was expecting a lot more money and not this little. When I got involved 400 idena meant 100 dollars, today it means less than 40 dollars, there is a huge drop like that. Main reason is that every two weeks there is more and more idena in the market and since there is no reason to buy it, people just do the tasks and sell them and get out, which causes it to drop every two weeks. You will see on next one the price will go down a bit more as well.
2987  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What is the Best Time to sell ? on: November 02, 2020, 06:00:12 PM
I am at a point in my life where I am thinking about selling and doing something else. I know you do not have to sell your bitcoin, I do not sell it neither, but maybe I could now focus on other things as well? This is more about "not buying" instead of selling but it could apply to people who want to sell as well.

I understand bitcoin, I get it, I have been here for over 7 years, and I can tell you that I got what I can out of bitcoin and maybe it is time to move on? Time to sell is something you can only decide yourself but when you feel emotionally done about bitcoin you could get out. Not everyone can understand this because not everyone gets this but the reality is bitcoin is a stressful job to some of us and sometimes we just want to get out and do something more traditional in order to have less stress.
2988  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin breached $14k today on: November 02, 2020, 04:46:53 PM
May not drop at all is not something we can guarantee, it is a big big big possibility that it will drop. The deal is, maybe it will reach to $20k before it starts to drop, maybe it will be $20k tomorrow or a month or 4 months later and meanwhile never drop, however I am almost guarantee that it will be under $13k one day, maybe tomorrow maybe a year from now but it will probably reach there.

I do not see bitcoin staying under $15k forever, I know that it will go over $15k for sure and have no doubt in my mind, at the same time I think bitcoin will also go under $13k as well, I have no doubt in my mind for that neither. This is the bitcoin world we are in, if you want to buy you could buy and still make a profit and if you want to sell you could sell and buy cheaper, both will happen, we just don't know when.
2989  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC can reach $ 20000 after PayPal, Venmo accept payments in BTC, ETH? on: November 02, 2020, 11:58:24 AM
What type of world did we became that bitcoin was a currency that was considered a payment option and not it is a currency that payment options use as an investment.

We are finally reaching to a point where satoshi was talking about why bitcoin is important, instead of thinking bitcoin like a thing that you use for sending money, we are finally seeing it as literally money itself. Don't get me wrong that method wasn't wrong neither, I have send and received tons of bitcoin in my time calculating everything in dollar before I do it, but that doesn't change the fact that bitcoin is money itself as well, you can say "10 dollars worth of bitcoin" but you could always say "selling it for 0.0004 bitcoin" as well and this is what paypal will be helping us with as well.
2990  Economy / Economics / Re: The pandemic did push the world towards a more digital age. on: November 02, 2020, 11:20:05 AM
Online education could be a huge improvement but it could also be a huge problem at the same time as well. I can't explain to you how it could be both of those things at the same time as well as having a child could explain it to you, if you have a kid and they do online education you could totally see it yourself why it could be wonderful and bad at the same time.

But, the shortest way I could explain would be the fact that kids these days care about what is on screen more often than what their teacher says and when their teacher is on screen it is easier to focus as well, plus there is less commotion between friends during class since you are physically not there so you can focus easier, this is the good part.

Bad part is, kids should be kids and meet and play and have fun, when they are stuck at home that is bad personal development, plus you could always mute and cheat your way out and watch netflix meanwhile, those are bad.
2991  Economy / Economics / Re: Will the Digital Yuan makes China even more powerful? on: November 02, 2020, 10:49:59 AM
It would make Chinese crypto people more powerful but that's about it, people are overreacting to it and I think this is not going to change a lot. For example, there are tons of miners in china and they will continue to mine bitcoin and other coins which is definitely a great business if you can pull it off, but right now they have to deal with mining bitcoin, going to an exchange and exchange it locally into fiat to withdraw to bank which all becomes a bit of a deal.

Here it would be easier with digital yuan where they could just switch bitcoin to digital yuan anywhere online, even binance will probably have it eventually when its official, so it would be easy to handle changes when it is not just local exchange but more like a whole new currency that will be global.
2992  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: November 01, 2020, 09:36:17 PM
^Casinos do not charge as much as some of the exchanges, exchanges have a guaranteed profit with the trading fee yet they still charge more than the casinos that you could get in, bet 10 bitcoin on 2x on dice and see if you are lucky, maybe win and withdraw 20 bitcoin in return. Definitely we all know there are not that many of them around and usually you end up losing money but at least there is a "possibility" of casino losing money whereas exchanges do not have that possibility, exchanges do not risk any money, yet they still end up with higher withdraw rates.

In the end we are talking about something important on blockchain tech here and not on roobet, when blockchain is so clogged that you have to pay 5 or more dollars to get your money before 1 hour, that is something bad on blockchain itself and not on any casino.
The reason why there is so much difference between some other business' that wants you to pay for the fee is not only blockchain it is also because they do not see you as a returning customer all that well and they are not going to suddenly make 30+ bucks from you, you are going to have to pay that for those companies. However do you know why casinos try their best to keep you?

It is the same logic as why bread is usually something big supermarkets lose money from, they want you to get in and buy stuff like bread and egg and they lose money on that because it is so cheap, but you also end up buying other stuff there that makes them a lot more profit than the money they lost on bread.

Same with casinos, they want to give you as many things for free as they can, as long as you stay and end up losing money in the long run.
2993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: November 01, 2020, 09:09:29 PM
There is no team, no manager, no president. Only Messi.

Barcelona = Messi, now.

Messi should direct the team, buy the new players, manage the club's bank accounts and do everything else. Good luck It will work wonderfully.
You are saying this like it is a joke but it has been a while like that. I mean sure it is technically not like that and as we have seen from the last president if you do not do what Messi says you have that right, he sent Suarez away, so you can actually do what you want but if you do not get great results that mistake of going against Messi will be end of your job. Which is why Messi has been the owner and everything of Barcelona for a while now.

However even if it hurts the team right now or not, Messi being everything to this club makes sense, this is the same person that took Barcelona from a regular good team into sextuple in a season type of team, he brought in sooooo many cups and I think he deserves to have this much influence over the team he brought in so much.
2994  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Even huawei refused to be left out on: November 01, 2020, 08:03:48 PM
Huawei is not doing something Samsung is not doing, it is totally understandable that new phones will have wallets that are more advanced than the previous ones, specially with how metamask now has over a million active users it would be very smart for phone companies to build wallets into phones to make it more interesting to sell.

Plus crypto is something getting a bit more hype nowadays and if you look crypto supporter as a company you will get a lot more interest whereas there won't be any downside, it is just few lines of codes extra for the CEO to dish out and after that all the hard work is on workers anyway. I feel like we are going to see a standard "crypto wallet" app in every single phone from now on, not something you download from the app store but like a feature of the phone.
2995  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: I guess bounty hunters really kill projects on: November 01, 2020, 07:09:59 PM
That is not bounty hunters killing the project, if a token worths 300 of it worths 10 dollars and reaches to as low as under half a dollar, that is not the problem of the people who dump their tokens, it is the problem of not having enough buyers to cover that difference. If a project is not good enough there won't be too many people who try to keep buying it constantly, look at bitcoin for example, I know it is a bad example and it is the biggest one but you can sell 10 million dollars worth of bitcoin today and it won't go down more than 1% at the very worst.

I know new tokens can't be expected to be like bitcoin that is understandable, but if a token has NO buyers at all and everyone sells, obviously it is going to fall. Why should bounty hunters be responsible for not selling? It should be teams responsibility to find buyers to cover that difference.
2996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 01, 2020, 06:36:43 PM
It is not really that easy to build a team for cheap, specially not when you are fighting for a spot in Bundesliga which is one of the biggest leagues in the world. Of course you should be careful about who you are buying and how much you are paying but let's be honest when you want to build a team for Bundesliga you are going to spend a lot of money and sometimes you could find a player that is good and buy him and pay him and at the end that player could start playing bad as soon as they come to you.

It could be a chemistry issue, it could be a tactical issue, it could be any reason and that money is now gone and since you offered him few years with the same amount now you are stuck with him. This is not the first time a team made a bad financial decision, and it will probably not be the last one neither.
2997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: During Bitcoin Block Halving Cryptocurrency Prices are expected to be.. on: November 01, 2020, 04:58:46 PM
We are talking about the next 4 year halving
Don't you feel it is too early to speculate about the next halving which may happen by end of 2023 or by the first quarter of 2024? If you are ready to agree that bitcoin is following 4 years cycle then we are yet to finish off the current 4 years run and then we need to get ready for the next halving. In my perception, halving is the trigger which happens at the mid of that four-years-cycle.

Basically you are emphasizing about the downfall of altcoins in coming years because of higher bitcoin's prices. This is highly expected one because all the altcoins are getting their value just from bitcoins and when bitcoin will be doing good, altcoins may face big dumps.
2998  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 3 myths about crypto trading tools on: October 31, 2020, 08:22:56 PM
I have seen some people that said that the stop loss tool is not compulsory that you’re going to make use of it, it’s all about choice, and matters most when you’re not going to be there in front of your computer to watch the market. They said if you’re going to be there to be watching it, then the stop-loss tool is of no use. I don’t know for those people, but all these tools are very important.

Anyone that wants to be a trader should always read about it and know every necessary tools so that they are not going to be making any mistakes at all. If you’re going to be there, you can decide when to take profit and not make use of the tool that will automatically take profit and end the trade, that’s if the market would continue going up.
Nobody says stop-loss is not a needed tool? Who says that? Everyone knows that stop loss has a very very important part in a trade and you have to have it if you are going to be there for longer than you look at the screen. Sure maybe day trader who scalp may not need it because he is literally looking at the screen constantly to see where he should sell, so he doesn't need a stop loss because he is already there, but all the other people needs it and I have never faced anyone who has ever said stop loss is not needed ever, even people who do not use it say it is important.

The other two ones are true, I have seen people argue over TA or FA and I believe they are both equally important as well and I have seen people who disregard take profit approach as well and I think it is quite important.
2999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊[Boxing] Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Junior [PPV on Nov. 28] on: October 30, 2020, 08:22:09 PM
This doesn't look like a real fight to me at all, I know many people are excited and there is also a lot of people who think like me as well, all I care about is being able to wager on this or not.

First of all Mike Tyson wasn't even that amazing anymore the moment he retired, he was obviously still decent but he wasn't all that great yet he fought against amazing and best so it was understandable that he wasn't looking like the boxer we knew him to be, Roy is not that he is older and he retired as well but he retired very recently, yet I believe he won't be that great neither.

At the end of the day, neither of the boxers have the stamina anymore, they could have the technique or anything else they want, they can practice too, but around second round they will both be gassed and turn it into just a show and nobody will get hurt.

I understand that Milan is in a good form and they are doing everything in their power to keep the momentum going and I am sure they are going to end up with a very high finish at the end of the season as well, and 40 year old Ibra is playing so well that like I have said before I would sell him at the end of the season to make the last amount of money off him if I could, not like he can play until 50 so time to use him and sell him and he could totally worth something.

However one thing is forgotten, Ronaldo is not around and I am sure he will come back, Juventus is not great with the roster right now and having a bit of a problem every position, yet I am 100% sure that they will get back on the horse and will become the Juventus we know very soon, so Milan has to watch out about the impending Juventus back to back wins for a long time, if that happens Milan needs to keep winning as well.
