301  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: February 23, 2024, 02:19:37 PM
For someone like me to have thought of going for gambling alone is excitement on itself because i will feel like having fun with gambling as am more in disposition for that during my leisure time, gambling is all about being entertained, the excitement should not only comes in when we are winning while gambling, we should always remember the purpose for gambling and the reason why we are going for it in the first place, this will be our courage each time we are gambling whether wining or not, we will be so excited
That is the thought of many (having fun and excitement) but it is also the reason why many people become addicted. I understand why because I was in that situation when first tried gambling but I'd never let my excitement push me to exceed my limit and be able to control my gambling habits. I will not say I was doing this for fun because I also wanted to win but I never chase my losses cause I know this will lead to losing more.

I was excited before but now, I just feel like a normal activity in my life as I do this not every day, it is when have free time. Having some gap in gambling helps to control and even stop falling addiction which I recommend everyone, especially for beginners.

It is your choice buddy, do what you want in your life as we don't bother with what you are doing. And don't bother yourself then seeing people go to school, finish college, and land a good job with a high salary because they deserve it as well. If you feel enough of what you have now, then it is good because all of us have different goals in life and we all struggle to achieve them.

Money, you can't feel comfortable in your life if you don't have money now, maybe before. People are working hard and even have sleepless nights just for this and granted. Life isn't easy now as it is too difficult to live without money, so be it.

What worse case scenario given then fact I have only 14$ on this wallet and of course not intend to deposit anymore funds to that wallet
Did someone withdraw your funds already OP? If there is suspicious activity, it is good not to touch or make a deposit in that account as it was compromised already, abandon it is the best thing to do.

I'm not sure what really happened to your wallet or if it was hacked already but in that case, it is possible to no longer see your funds anymore.
Creating a new one is necessary but you should keep your keys/phrases safe and out of sight from others or else, that still be going to happen again and again. Don't get easily fooled by hackers and scammers, they will target greedy and innocent people. Think first and do research before making a decision.
304  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you make everybody to win in their crypto trading? on: February 22, 2024, 09:08:37 PM
Of course, no one can teach all novice traders how to win. It's simply physically impossible. You know, in the last century an experiment was carried out with the so-called “turtle traders”. This experiment tried to answer the question whether any person can be taught to become a successful trader or whether success is an innate trait. It turned out that both were true. But in general, in the market, everyone cannot win in principle, because someone must lose. Sometimes large funds, such as pension funds, lose money, but much more often it is newcomers who lose money in the market.
In trading, losing and winning are like inseparable from each other. Someone must lose in the process, in order for the other one to win, and vice versa. But we can’t expect that everyone will win or lose at a single time. Those who come out well-experienced in the market are most likely the most profitable traders while those who are still learning the process are most probably the one who endure consistent losses. However, there are no exception from losses as even those who have higher experience in the market still lose their trades at some point.
Otherwise, these trading platforms will never survive of all traders will win. Indeed, that is the reality, some will win while some will not, and sad to say that newbies have been suffering losses while old traders making money, and the cycle continues. That is why newbies should never think they can make money in trading easily or it is instant but instead, try to face the consequences first of possible losses and survive before they will taste success. Therefore, we have to make sure that we are strong enough and keep straight on our goal despite losses and struggles, or else, quitting may appear in our minds.

Mavericks vs Suns
The Phoenix Suns entered the All-Star break in top form. In the last matchup between these two teams, Phoenix won against Dallas despite being down in the first half. The games between these two teams usually end in Dallas' favor. Phoenix broke that resistance in the last matchup, but it wasn't easy. Dallas has led at halftime against Phoenix in each of the last eight matchups. In such a tough matchup, the trend seems worth betting on. I'm going with Dallas.

Tough loss by the Dallas that time as they loss by 23 points. 132-109 was the score.
However, Irving was out that time and this game later he is gonna play with his new crew as well. The line up will be tested but I believe Dallas are gonna avenge their loss and will beat the Suns.

Cavaliers vs Magic
Cleveland had a great streak before the All-Star break and was the best team coming into the break. They have escaped from the tough environment in the Eastern Conference and are chasing at the top Boston. The Cavaliers have been especially effective at home and although Donovan Mitchell's illness is a concern, the fact that he has started practicing is encouraging. Orlando, on the other hand, has finished 6 of its last 7 games with high scores. Paolo Banchero may miss a game for the first time this season. It will be good to check his status at game time. I believe that Cleveland will not be easily defeated at home and will come out victorious in this game.
Cleveland hasn't been playing well at home recently. On their first game from a road trip, 76ers beat them, and then in the 2nd, although they won but the Bulls made it a close game losing by 3 points only. Maybe they will win but will not cover the spread, so I'm gonna ride with the moneyline here.
306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in Bitcoin, for long time Holding on: February 21, 2024, 09:46:12 PM
There are many types of Bitcoin investors, some invest for long-term holdings, while others invest for short-term holdings. But one thing is true, those who invest in Bitcoin for short term are never able to achieve anything big.

Don't get me wrong because some short-term investors earn more than long-term. Just imagine if they could make a profit of 3-5% monthly, it would be huge compared to those who have waited for many years and just earned x2 of their capital. It won't just matter on time but also how much you invested. If we can invest more, the more possibility that we earn more as well.
Quote
On the contrary, they face more losses.

Nobody loses as long as they won't sell at a losing price. Buy Bitcoin at $30,000 and then sell at $52,000, you could imagine good earnings in just a short period than waiting for 1 year and just selling at $60,000.
307  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you feel about high-profile traders making wrong calls ? on: February 21, 2024, 08:54:41 PM
Remember that there is no such perfection in trading. Though they are experts and have been in trading for many years this never gives an assurance that they will be perfectly right as the market is volatile. Therefore, it was not a surprise but seems accepted knowing that this is what really happens in trading.

If these high-profile traders make wrong calls, that much more it happens to the beginners. But this is not bad as nobody makes a perfect decision, well commits mistakes even though we don't like it. Otherwise, all traders are rich and wealthy people

I never really know the whole story, and for all we know he could be telling lies, or she could be avoiding the truth. Anyhow, knowing they don't have conjugal responsibilities to each other, they should have went for the 50/50 split before actually leaving each other. Imagine winning that kind of amount, only to pay taxes and legal fees afterwards just because one is greedy enough to take it all instead of splitting the bill evenly. That's a clean $950k for each of them if they just went for the split, no lawsuits or publicity of their names involved!

Accoriding to the article shared by OP.

Quote
He said: “I am in shock. I can openly admit that we wouldn’t have got that ticket without Charlotte, but she wouldn’t have got it without me either.

“I know it was her bank account that paid for it, but it should go 50-50 morally.”

However, Charlotte hit back at his “rubbish” claims last night.

And sources close to her insisted her former boyfriend has “no right” to the money as she paid for the winning ticket.

They are not married, so there's no conjugal properly. And they are just dating for 3 months, so that's a short period of time to create a bond in the relationship. I think the guy trying to force his right to get the half of the winning, he said "morally",but if it's the law that will be followed, whoever paid fo for the winning ticket should have the right of the winning, and it was the woman.
309  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: February 21, 2024, 01:35:39 PM
risking your job just to gamble during working hours is quite a stupid act. because gambling can be done whenever he wants, there is no need to do it during working hours. supposedly if he is smart, he can do it when he gets home from work or on the weekend, he can gamble all day until he gets tired. so there is no reason that a person is justified in gambling during working hours just because he cannot control his urge to gamble or is too bored at work.

This is doable if you are playing a casino game. However, if you are betting on sports and the schedule coincides with your working hours, you might be tempted to gamble to avoid missing the action. Additionally, since you are gambling, you may need to check the scores or watch a live stream, which typically consumes a significant amount of time. This is clearly taking time away from your work, making you less effective and you'll likely get fired anytime soon.
310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and its impact on my life: A journey to a better tomorrow. on: February 20, 2024, 09:45:19 PM

During my initial purchase, I was not familiar with the DCA method, and I made a mistake by investing more than I could afford due to the fear of missing out. However, I felt incredible when it went a few percent into profit. Subsequently, it dropped by more than 50%, only to surpass the previous all-time high shortly after, and then the market finally flushed it out. At that point, I felt less fantastic. Fortunately, I did not withdraw the money at a loss., held onto it, and continued to HODL and gradually accumulate, thanks to information from the internet and gaining familiarity with Bitcoin.

You hold because you have faith in Bitcoin and that even proves that it helps a lot to save losses.
If not always but most of the time we learn many things from committing mistakes in the past. FOMO is very influential and certainly affects our minds and is a common reason why people lose control of their emotions and make wrong decisions.

But I see no sweet success, it comes with hardships and a difficult journey. But as long as we trust our investment and keep thinking positively despite losses and mistakes, it is not impossible to reach our goal. Indeed, it takes a longer time but it was worth it.
311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the rules for finding wallets on: February 20, 2024, 09:03:35 PM
You can have the wallet since you find it but you can never own the money/coins inside since you don't have the keys that will open it. Therefore, it was useless to find it, you don't have any benefits as you can never use that wallet. If I were you, better make your own wallet to have full access rather than claiming that the found wallet is yours. You can legally claim it was yours when you have the keys that is the way to prove ownership. Otherwise, cour claim id invalid and just a waste of time as we can never get anything that is inside.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Devin Haney vs Ryan Garcia on April 20 on: February 20, 2024, 02:47:47 PM
This must have a great  offer as both sides come to agree while people are looking for their different opponent so lets see what is the response of the fans and what is the response of the gamblers.
But in this one I am for Haney no matter how advantageous Garcia here.
A large portion of the fans will support Ryan Garcia because he delivers knockouts and is fun to watch. But the gamblers will wager money for the more outstanding boxer and it is Devin Haney the champion.

It's obvious, Haney is by far a huge favorite in this fight, so smart money will be on this side. But for those Ryan Garcia fans, they will definitely support him
Haney is the huge favorite, we can't argue to that as the betting odds will prove it.

Quote
Haney vs Garcia Odds
Boxer   Odds
Devin Haney   -500
Ryan Garcia   +370
https://bettinginsiderjournal.com/boxing/haney-vs-garcia-odds-props-betting-prediction/

As I see it, the two boxers enjoy a benefit. Garcia has power in his hands and Devin is intelligent. This is a great match and this is game seven for them after having three triumphs over one another after battling six times when they were amateurs.

Up until this point, the gambling odds are not close but is juicy for the wagering fans of Ryan Garcia.

I think Devin Haney is no feather fisted in this weight class, perhaps in the 135 lbs because he had to squeeze his frame at that weight. But here at 140 lbs, and against Prograis in which he knock him down, I think Haney could have somewhat had more power as compare of him competing at lower classes before. Maybe even his chin has improved a lot as well because of the added weight.

Well, we will see if Ryan could give him some competitive fight. This fight based on the experts is just one-sided, and despite the popularity of Ryan Garcia, he was given +370 to win. That's a huge insult to his capabilities. However, as you said, for Ryan Garcia's supporters, they'll take it as an opportunity.
313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 20, 2024, 02:00:27 PM
Rare double double though for Dame, winning the 3 point competition and then the MVP, we've seen for the first time 200 points were surpassed.

And I read that there is a teas for next year 3 point, it could be the splash brothers, Steph Curry + Klay Thompson, vs Sabrina Ionescu + Caitlin Clark. This 3 point shoot up is the saving grace for this year's All Star, everyone wanted to watch how Steph will do against Sabrina, and Steph shows who is the greatest shooter in the planet right now, although Dame as well could be in the discussion.

The all star game was a dud.  Dame earned his points with so.e half court shots but for the most part it was layups and dunks with no one around.  It's turned into a glorified layup line.  KAT had 50 points and ypu would barely know that because he was driving the lane every time down 30.  Didn't pass etc.  Game turned into a joke.  They need to do so.ething lime put home court advantage in the finals to the winning side like baseball does.

Dame was really aiming for that MVP as he was trying so hard. He could have given that to Brown since he had already won the 3-point contest. LOL... but maybe that was his first time winning an MVP award in an all-star game, and he grabbed the opportunity. With lots of dissatisfaction from the fans, I hope the NBA will be able to see and make some changes in the next all-star game so it will not end up being another boring game.

The entertainment will only be possible if they play some defense, but no, they seem to be enjoying the game without being competitive. They make shots and do some layups with opponents not defending; they just trade baskets, and whoever gets the best shooting percentage wins. Every all-star game gets boring and boring; this is already alarming.
314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Making informed decisions is our responsibility on: February 17, 2024, 03:55:57 PM
With level of exposure in our age and stories of what had happen in the past and still happening, I think anyone that is scammed in this present era has some form of greed for money . Imagine buying a crypto that worth just a dollar at 5cent even when you can see it everywhere that , this is 1dollar worth.
If a person sees an offer of crypto whose worth is up to 100 dollars and the buyer wants to pay 500 dollar without using exchange p2p platform, such a seller is also greed.
They are not greedy but less fortunate because how these people believe in something unreal. It was hard to buy promises that were impossible to happen, I should have declined it. But what mostly happens is that the majority had thing impossible offers become possible, they remain uninformed despite the fact that many people already describe what a scam looks like.

Quote
A person who sees a link leading a claim of money not worked for is also greed.

Falling for scammers begins from greed covetousness
A very common thing happens is we experience of getting scams first before we realize that we are a fool in believing their sweet promises.
We just suffer losses first before we know how to research.
315  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Jason Moloney vs Reymart Gaballo WBO Bantamweight Title (May 12) on: February 17, 2024, 02:47:01 PM
Great chance for Reymart to become a champion again after falling to Donaire. I think he can beat Moloney as the latter is not so technical. Moloney was KO by Naoya Inoue, so he is not on the level of Inoue which I think Gaballo can also KO him. I'm interested on the betting odds of this fight, perhaps Gaballo will be the underdog, and I'm sure will bet on him to win by KO.
It looks like Reymart will have big chance of getting the championship belt again by defeating Moloney and this is Reymart opportunity to take revenge for his failure when he was defeated by Donaire.
In this fight, Moloney will be under pressure from Reymart because it is certain that Reymart is more careful and he is also boxer who has managed to win 90% by knockout.
Only one who managed to beat him was Donaire and it was truly surprising fight.
I think the reason why Moloney will feel the pressure is not because Gaballo is more careful but due to the aggressiveness of Gaballo. That is his trademark, he always go for a knockout, that's why he loss to Donaire because Donaire was able to predict him and uses his counter punching trademark as well. Moloney here doesn't have the skills of Donaire, so I'm sure it's not hard for Gaballo to win.


But I wouldn't be surprised if the Filipino will be the underdog.
of course he will be.
Of course he will really be the favorite in this fight, he has also been able to prove his prowess in the ring with the various wins and titles he has previously achieved.
Maybe just a slight favorite, but I would be happy to take an odds of +110 for Gaballo to win the fight.
316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: February 17, 2024, 01:37:05 PM
Without MVP and SMB, this league might also not be able to give a decent salary to its players, because I believe that once a player sign with the SMB or MVP team, they are given bigger salalry compared to other teams. They say there's a salary cap but it was only on paper, it was not implemented.
It's hard to deny that, as it reflects reality. A league would only succeed if it garners a lot of endorsements, and people watch it with reasonable ticket prices. Regarding the PBA, since most of the games are in MOA, it becomes too expensive if people are not attending to watch. Based on my observation, there haven't been many people watching the games during the regular season or conference. This means they are generating money from their budget with less return.
317  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can we understand market going to be Bear? on: February 17, 2024, 12:30:11 PM
For old-timers, that seems too easy but I don't think a newbie can't determine the market situation because even by visiting the exchanges or checking on the https://coinmarketcap.com/ we can see the movement of the price where it was enough for a trader or investor to think the current situation. The market direction doesn't change instantly so we can at least predict what will happen a few days from our base date. Although we can't exactly get the actual price at least, we have some ideas as to where it goes whether it will be going up or down. It is very important to rely on the chart for further analysis and our base of predictions.
318  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: February 17, 2024, 10:36:51 AM
I don't see any problem there. Its true that we shouldn't gambling in front of children as it may effect them badly. But when its comes to mature people like you and your wife, there's nothing wrong until both of you guys can control yourselves, follow the discipline as well as able to manage economical status and become so responsible as gambler. Nobody need to quit, just mainly focus on primary income source and do gambling less or stay within limit. Don't spoil family moments , only gambling when get free time or children aren't around you.if you guys can't handle and worry about Ensure the healthy environment for children, then both can quit gambling together, otherwise there'll be a quarrel between you about this matter. So that is my suggestion
Even to say they can control their gambling habits but I don't think it was good to see both of them gambling. One of them must stop and I say that it was the wife. Besides, we are not talking about finances but we are talking about time spent with the family and bonding which is needed when you have a family or if you are building a family. Good relationships and communication between parents and kids are very important which they don't have to ignore for this will have negative results in the future. They should value their time with their kids as this will guide them on how to handle their family soon, or I'm worried they will get involved in gambling at a young age.
319  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just hold in patience, nothing can stop the raging bull when it comes on: February 17, 2024, 06:48:19 AM
Patience is the key here, but people usually don't have it. We will see a lot of sellers right after next dip
Not all because not all are also willing to understand the volatile condition of the market. Because what is in their mind is that it is all in the pump and when the dip comes, they are in panic selling and assume that it will be the end of crypto and sell despite losses.

FUDs are an influencing factor for someone who is also in doubt and will think about selling during the correction. But those who have faith will take their breath and hold until the bull season comes. It was not wrong about selling but at least we made some profit, not with loss. It is necessary to stay strong and keep in mind that we are investing for the sake of making money, not just wasting it. 

Bitcoin is a profitable investment, so no need to doubt it and think negatively when the price drops as it eventually recovers after.
Patience, yes, that is what we are supposed to do.
320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What contributes to a casual gambler becoming an addicted gambler? on: February 16, 2024, 11:41:05 PM
When they become jobless and desperate. So they spend more time gambling thinking that it would be the solution and making them earn money without realizing that this will make them fall into addiction and lose more.

It is a very usual thing to happen when you have nothing to do in your life, we make gambling a gateway to our problems (sometimes getting drunk) and I did this several times to help calm down my mind but yes, the result is somewhat terrible, and it is too late to realize all the thing I've done are wrong. I know some gamblers are doing the same but despite the mess I made, I still manage to control my gambling habits. It is an individual thinking why we fall into that kind of trap when we have the chance to control it.
