If the addiction gives too many negative effects, he should try harder to stop his younger brother but with a better way.
Hear to heart talk is the best way in this case, so there wont be any anger from both side.
If heart to heart talk does not work well, there should be an alternative way to make his brother stop gambling which is with professional help.
Yeah, gaming addiction requires treatment based on its severity. I guess professional treatment would be the best one because even it will be expensive you can be sure about getting cured in short period of time. I am not underestimating other methods but experts based approach will always work better as per what I have experienced with gambling addicted people.

Honestly we should not teach or introduce gambling to anyone. It will work negatively one day or other even what we teach is only for fun based. So, not at all knowing about gambling will help anyone to live better IMO.

A lot of people have knowledge about Bitcoin but they failed to enter and take advantage of Bitcoin volatility. Just 2 years ago Bitcoin dropped to $3K. Even I was well aware Bitcoin would pump at any time I failed to accumulate during that time due to financial limitations. Earning wasn't very good and the priority was to feed the family. In that situation very hard to make the decision. Because we all are unaware of the Bitcoin future. We should be able to hold for a quite long time when we decide to enter on Bitcoin. Shouldn't be forced to sell for feeding family. So of course financial capability is quite important to invest in Bitcoin. That's how actually rich become a more rich and poor struggle to feed the family.
Yes that is true, the funny part of all these is that I even invested at that time when the market was that low and ended up selling it within a short time without having to wait at all, because I was in serious need of the money that I have invested back then. I knew very well that the market was going to make a come back, but due to the fact that I don’t have enough to hold it for that long, I wasn’t able to keep on with the Hodl, so I sold what I had. It’s usually not very easy, because you would have a pressing need and you’re very aware that the market would go up, but still no option.

Indian selectors are not at all bothered with Ajinkya Rahane or Pujara it seems. They still get a berth in the team  regardless of their performance. Pujara still played well yesterday but Rahane has been scoring single digit for a long time now and he needs to go out of the team. There are others like you suggested who can replace this guy.
India team selections are always player oriented and not just performance oriented in my opinion.

For example, the triple centurion Karun Nair never gets another chance since his 303 not out score. I am not expecting such a thing from CA or any other board.

The players who contributed to win the series against Australia in last year treated very poorly. In my opinion India won that series just because of new players and if Virat and same players played that Gabba match, then India might not have got chances to break the Australia's 32 year glory in Gabba.

It's not good to get used to listening to others without being able to make decisions for yourself,
living like that is just a waste of time,
Don't rely too much on others, better learn to improve yourself
When traders are not profitable with their own signal generations then they start relying on other's signal for their each and every decisions of buy/sell of crypto trading and in my opinion, it may not be a bad thing as long as you are able to make profits. Instead of losing all the capital within the process of testing own technical analysis, I also believe it would be better to buy signals from third parties. If you are able to take a break from trading for the reason of enhancing your trading skills and to practice in paper trading then you may not need to go buying signals.

the beginning of starting new things is usually not always easy, but as time goes on, they will surely learn and know more about Crypto Investment.
You are mentioning about newbie's new investments but for a new year, even experienced crypto user also may start a new investment to maximize their returns Cheesy.

But, unfortunately both new and experienced crypto users are not always making right investments as mostly people do prefer shitcoins over proven investment opportunities like bitcoin.

must get used to that it is never too late to start something new if indeed what is new will make it more advanced and can produce something for self-interest.
Yeah, due to higher value of bitcoin, people do consider it is late to accumulate bitcoins but for all the investors who are into DCA, never need to bother about the price of bitcoin but must need to keep investing to enjoy big returns after years of holding.

Oh really? I have a friend whose massively into Esports - super nerd and he has some great multi picks. You're probably right to be honest, if you arent massively into the sport and understand how teams perform, single sports bets are most likely better in the long run.
Don't get me wrong, you can still win some nice money when you win multiples and maybe betting esports is different; but I still think in the long end it is better to only bet on singles. How much multiples have you not placed, where always 1 pick (and a lot the pick would the lowest odd) fails.
I feel like it depends on the games and the odds. I mean if you are wagering on a single game and betting on the underdog and the odds are like 12.00 or something versus playing on 2-3 games for heavy favorites where the whole slip is like under 3.00 odds, then I would say you have a better chance with that multiple games. Parlay has been around for like many many years and I believe that it would definitely not be that much of a difference if you wager on a single game or a whole 15 game parlay, it all comes down to the odds.

I have done parlays on NBA before, many times, and I have probably broke even or lost a smudge whole season this year, maybe even earned a small amount I am not sure, it is definitely somewhere around where I started. I have done singles, I have done parlays, I have done many different combinations and it all comes down to luck if you ask me.
307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 11, 2022, 09:34:22 PM
Inter are playing really well, they are a great team this year, you're right. I thought the Lazio game would be tough, but they weren't too hard. They did not give Lazio many positions. The clearly superior team was inter. I believe that the team that will enjoy the championship this year is Inter. The Atalanta match may be difficult, but they will beat them.
I have to say the greatness of a team comes out when they win the games they suppose to win. I understand that it doesn't look like a much deal, but as long as they lose to like only 3-4 teams and not each time (since they play twice) then it means you are going to end the season with 30 wins or so at the very least, because let's face it they are better than AT LEAST 15 teams, it is clear difference.

However, even the good teams in most leagues end up losing points to teams they should not lose to, and that resulted with the leagues being more competitive most of the time, Inter is not doing that, they take every single game seriously and that allowed them to be this good.

I can personally attest to the changes because I was part of their initial signature campaign, and what I would like to add is the admin has been actively adding suggestions from this ANN, so if you feel something should be added just suggest it here and it might just be added to the site. Lastly a VIP Club is a great step for the site, and looks like the Blackjack whales may just find themselves a new home courtesy of this VIP Club.
I honestly had no idea you were part of the early campaign guys, but you're a very familiar name around these parts. Even better to see you still around here.

Definitely waiting for VIP Club to come about, just curious to see what they got going for those wagering stats and what benefits come along with it.
I have been gambling here time to time ever since they first started and didn't even have crypto yet, they just had fake tokens and they have changed so much since those days. Loading times are a bit more heavy compared to those days and even that tells us a whole story, I mean imagine a "problem" that derived from the fact that they have added so much to their website and it resulted with them getting a bigger loading time, it wasn't just like some picture or something, it was because of the improvements.

This is why I keep feeling like there must be some sort of realization for all the people who have been here that blackjack.fun actually reads what people say and they change things accordingly, it could be about the website, the methods, the design, the campaign, anything at all. This is why they have so many customers with just one game.
309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Reasons why I prefer Bitcoin over any other assets and dips don't panic me.... on: January 11, 2022, 08:32:26 PM
Whether you own one Bitcoin or a fraction,, it is still worth it.

Moreover it’s not really necessary that you are going to hold your Bitcoin forever, everyone has what works for them and the strategy they try to follow.

As for me I’m not the type that always has plans to keep on hold without even selling, because that doesn’t suit me at all.
Yeah, whenever I invest in cryptocurrency I try to sell whenever I have the chance to sell, as long as the profit seems good enough for me, then I am going to sell and take my profit. The only time that I don’t sell is when I feel that the profit doesn’t seem good enough for me, then I can decide to keep on holding period and of course sometimes I even hold for years without selling.I have HODL’ed Bitcoin for like 3 1/2 years once.

And it did work out for me because there was a bull run that took place next. Whatever strategy you know would help you to keep on growing, then you should apply that strategy, And not trying to do what others are doing.
310  Economy / Economics / Re: Digital asset is for holding on: January 09, 2022, 09:17:26 PM
Moving from the era of Real estate to stocks to metals to oil blocks and now digital assets we would agree those who made it big in all this investment options were those who had the patience to hold.
From the history only ponzis are profitable in short holding and all other real potential based opportunities are proven to provide big returns in long term holding hence digital assets cannot be an exception here. If you find any opportunity is profitable in long run then that must be categorized as legit and at the same time if short time profiting opportunities which are providing realistic returns like 2% to 10% then that also might be legit.
Short holding may not be profitable in fair stuff, but day trading could be. Imagine a person who puts up 1000 dollars on a 100x leverage and opens a long, and the price goes up 10% the very same hour he does that, sounds unlikely I know but definitely possible. This is how you make a lot of money in a very short amount of time without it being a scam.

Now, would I suggest doing that? Of course not, you are going to lose 90% of the time and that 10% of the time doesn't really worth it and instead of losing "some" of your investment like spot trading, you are going to lose it all so it definitely doesn't worth it at all. I just wanted to show you that it is "possible", although it is definitely not worthy to take that risk.
311  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: how to trade btc without kyc on: January 08, 2022, 09:08:49 PM
I've tried trading with Kucoin and so far, they don't ask for KYC but as for me, KYC shouldn't be a problem because most exchange as it for our own good as well. Most reputable and trusted exchanges these days are asking for KYC which is acceptable and reasonable. I guess the best thing that we should look for in exchange is their reputation and not those who don't ask for KYC.
It depends on the country you are residing for KYC requirements. Maybe your country is not that strict in terms of online exchange regulation. Sooner or later everyone will be required to undergo KYC as it a must for an exchange to maintain there license and business permit. KYC serves as protection too in case someone hack your account so that you can recover it.

Yeah, Reputation is the most  important things to be considered when dealing on exchange but honestly most of the CEX especially those well known are less risky compared before.
Yes exchanges that are offering KYC are offering better protection for their clients in case that things should go wrong, such as hack. But, it all depends on what you  really want, there are some of us who prefers to maintain their privacy all the time and they don’t want to be giving out information to just any exchange. Of course, KYC is not a problem to me, as long as the exchange that I am making use of is a reputable exchange, such as Binance.com, Coinbase.com, etc. So, it’s not really a problem at all, it’s just preferences, whatever works for you is what you should choose.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 06, 2022, 09:19:29 PM
I think that Messi will be able to play against Lyon this Sunday. In this case, PSG will be even much stronger in this game. Lyon are already in a bad shape this season and they have a very difficult game ahead. If we were able to see the Lyon's version in last season, then I would have thought that they could even win this game. But this is not the situation obviously. But they might still not let PSG win very easily.
In this season most of the top ranked French clubs are struggling into French League, but surprisingly they are having some good record in European Leagues like Lille are in knock out stage and here they are struggling very badly same happening with Lyon and Monaco and Marseille is only club with PSG which is doing very good in both Leagues for match Lyon vs PSG all things going into favour of PSG but with current form both clubs are not good and PSG having some good players in injury list which can hurt them for win in this match Lyon having 3 draws out of 5 and same is going with PSG but still odds are also in very good favour of PSG.
313  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Play2earn games on: January 06, 2022, 08:25:38 PM
I don’t think it is a wise decision to rely fully with play2earn games as a source of income. Perhaps, it could be taken as a side hustle, or even a hobby that is chosen because it has more purpose other than the fun, it provide money as well. For instance, Axie infinity requires a huge capital before it can be played, which can also be the same with other games, even more some games might be rewarding tokens that are challenging to invest or sell.
It is definitely bad idea to focus on just one stream of income, no matter what it is. This is why if you are going to play play2earn games and try to make money from them, you should make sure that you have other investments as well. For example, if you invested 900 dollars for a team a few months back, like 2-3 months back, you would have made about 200-300 back right now and you would have a team worth 250-300 dollars at most and you would be at a loss.

So, by literally spending 2 hours a day at minimum, you have spent around 7-8 full days of your life playing a game and lose money because of it. This is actual reality for axie infinity. So definitely have other investments while playing, that way you could have diversification, even if you do not play, even if you invest, always do it for many multiple stuff just to make sure you are doing fine.

England bad days are yet to over as they have to chase mighty 417 runs today. Best they can do in this series is to draw at least one game so that they avoid whitewash. Aus have got a good start and it will be difficult to defeat Aus from this start. Haseeb Hameed is included once again despite repeated failures, this shows England don't have any replacement.
English bad days are not going to end in this series they need overhaul in their batting line-up because currently Just Root is having some better record all others average or below average with very crap record in this series.

Hopefully we will have some better technique from them in this fourth test which is still a big doubt with bowling is still giving them very good response, but they can't give them all with no batsman is giving any positive response. Australia done 417 in first inning now it's might task for them to save this test even weather is also helping them but tomorrow is very crucial because if they are able to done 300+ then surely they will be in safe heaven otherwise It's going to be 4 - 0 in Australian favor without any big problem.
315  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Nayib Bukele prediction: 2 more countries will adopt Bitcoin as legal tender on: January 06, 2022, 12:19:17 PM
things will remain unpredictable until we see them already happening. I understand how bullish Bukele is when it comes to bitcoin as he leads the first country who had made bitcoin a legal tender. And if by chance he has met other leaders and talk all about this, then no wonder he has come up with this predictions. But if he is just making a hype, i don't think its still necessary for bitcoin as we all know that bitcoin will always have its own time to recover and surge its price again.
Yes you are right, the only way that he would be able to know whether there would be countries that are going to adopt Bitcoin at all is if he has really spoken with the leaders of these countries and they actually said that they have such plans of making their countries adopt Bitcoin this year. If not, then he’s just making a speculation, which I think is not right at all.

Moreover he’s not the first person saying such a thing, there has been other people who has made this same prediction that there would be countries that would adopt Bitcoin, but they are just speculating what they think would be happening, and they are not sure it is really going to happen.
316  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investors desire on meme coins are insane on: January 06, 2022, 09:28:23 AM
This is probably what many don't want to hear right now but I'm just trying to share what I've achieved so far since the last three months, I'm made more money from meme coins than every other bigger coins I have in my portfolio, not even BTC and ETH where able to give me that much insane profits in a short term, since I've been here on this forum I've never seen my portfolio surging high like this, meme coins are dangerous but their rewards are insane
Why there are millions of people who like to invest into memecoins? We may never know, it is in human nature to jump into things that are hyped and they are doing the same thing. If we were to look at things in another perspective, we could say that crypto is a lot like television shows. When a show gets too much attention, you end up watching it too, even if you do not do it for one of them you may do it for another.

Obviously you could pick and watch a show that very little amount of people watch, even get cancelled because of lack of viewership, but at the end of the day if Game of Thrones hype made you watch it, then you understand the point. Same goes for memecoins, so many people jumped into them that eventually people got into it and they jumped into it making it bigger and this created a cycle of people who join because it is growing bigger.
317  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin first week price speculation on: January 05, 2022, 09:36:07 PM
I think the first week of 2022 bitcoin has not shown any bullish signs because since the end of 2021, the Bitcoin price is still dropping below $50,000. The decline in the price of bitcoin is also likely to continue until the end of January 2022.
Agree with your view, I don't see bitcoin pumping in January, the previous year's correction was not able to restore bitcoin at this time, so the chance for bitcoin to reach a high price in January is quite difficult, but I see in early March the possibility of bitcoin pumping, rising January and February are a total recovery for bitcoin, let's wait until that month, hopefully bitcoin can provide maximum selling value.
January is usually not the year we end up with a huge increase, it takes a while before we increase. I am guessing that spring could be the real increase, march will be the month where we slowly see some waking up, not a lot, just a small bit, then by the time April comes around we are going to see the peak, I am expecting a new ATH around those periods, and then during May it will have a small tiny correction, like maybe back to 70k or something and during summer there is a good chance we could have a crash and then try to recover that during September or October. This is usually how it is in crypto world and I do not see a reason why it should change.
318  Economy / Speculation / Re: How do you manage Bitcoin price now on: January 05, 2022, 09:09:31 PM
In conditions of a falling bitcoin price, the best thing that can be done right now is to hold bitcoin and wait for a reversal point to appear. I myself continue to buy bitcoin again with the remaining funds I have because I believe the price of bitcoin will rise soon.
I am not buying bitcoin anymore because I already have a lot of it, well not a lot I have a tiny amount of course but the % bitcoin has in my portfolio is big enough. So, I am trying to buy stuff that has passive income this year, and I believe it is the same idea. In the end if you are going to increase the amount you own, these are the great months before the increase happens.

If you buy now and wait enough then I am sure that we are going to have a huge increase in the prices. We just need to wait for it to happen, going to take a while but it will definitely happen. This period we are in as of right now is usually called accumulation phase, it is the moment when everyone just holds and buys and waits.

Since the disciplinary violation committed by Aubameyang, Arsenal have removed his name from the list of players in the 6 has matches played, and as a player who is still under contract with the club, Aubameyang should obey the rules that exist within the club, I think by violating discipline, of course as a captain, aubameyang will set a bad example for other players in arsenal, as an arsenal fan to be honest I want aubameyang out of arsenal now and indeed it is better for him to look for another club in the current transfer market.
Truly, he is a leader on the field and is indeed a very bad example when a captain does something that is detrimental to team activities.
I think Arsenal's decision is indeed reasonable and it is a very wise choice to let him go at this time because his presence in the squad only adds to the salary cost because it will no longer be used.
when there is a club that dares to bid on this player, why not just let it go
Recently there were few rumors about him that few clubs are interested to have him in their team, but negotiations are going ahead which is not coming openly due to his attitude without from team disciplinary violation is terrible impact about this great player with good skills and having leadership qualities.

Most chances Arsenal management allow him to leave club because now they are having some good number of players for their better future in target in next transfer window, so it's important for them to allow him for joining his next desired club for better play and in case off loading this salary cost which is having on Arsenal for some time now.

Cricket has become a business and there is no denying it whatsoever. With the business in mind, ICC will always try to make IPL better rather than the bilateral series as IPL generates way more revenue and viewership compared to any bilateral series.

And you are right. Having internal issues in boards is their personal problem. Yes the ICC might be able to eradicate some of it, but at the end of the day, it was them who started the downfall of them.
Cricket was already a big business but now with the introduction of franchise system it is taking some better and more profitable shape which is helping all parties in good way like players have enough money with managements are also taking very good profit and many other parties are also having very good change with this all as we already have in European Soccer where many countries going with much luxury style and few have small models but still very helpful for them as they can handle all things in better way now we need this spirit into cricket as well which is not happening due to some political reasons but still many countries can do take some good advantage and enjoy their markets with this all which will more grow in future with time and better experience.
