321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... on: November 28, 2023, 08:36:41 PM

If you're someone who doesn't believe anyone can be profitable in gambling, you might as well consider yourself not welcome in this thread. I'm looking for people who maintain optimism about their chances in gambling so they can share valuable insights.

I believe that I can be profitable in gambling which is why I Gamble. I have also gone the extra length to watch tons of YouTube videos on gambling by most gambling professionals. I am looking to develop or improve on my gambling strategies. I would want to learn  if there are new skills, tips and tricks that can help me to be better gambler. I have even considered buying their courses but that is a future plan . It is my optimism that keeps me going.
322  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not this guy on: November 28, 2023, 08:21:01 PM

I've get to know that not all gamblers need to be a responsible gambler, some knows, they are not hypnotized by gambling, they are fully awake and they still choose to be a reckless gambler.
Some gamblers have accepted their fate which is a responsible gambling. They know they do it, they know that they are addicted to it and you have accepted it. For them it is what is the worst that can happen. After all, they have lost everything and have nothing else to use. Trying to advise or tell them why they should gamble responsibly is veaste of time. When I meet these people, I leave them alone with whatever idealogy that's behind their gambling. It's live and let live.
323  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who should own a demo account? on: November 27, 2023, 09:08:06 PM
There is no restriction to who can own a Demo trading account, a new trader or an expert trader.
I want to think that there are three types of traders, beginner, intermediate and expert. An expert trader using a demo account is a huge eeg flag for me especially if I want to learn from the person.

Quote
I know many traders may feel like they are now bigger than demo accounts, and only new traders should have demo accounts for demo trades, but I think that to avoid losses still, expert traders should also have demo accounts for trying out new strategies before they try it live. What do you think?
There should be other ways to try out new strategies as an expert trader at that level. There should be tools that expert traders can use to test their strategies other than using a demo environment. Besides losing money is part of the learning curve. If you are afraid to lose money you are not ready for the reality of trading.
324  Economy / Economics / Re: strange indicators to know economy is bad on: November 27, 2023, 08:45:42 PM
<snip>
I did know that such indicators exist. They are not entirely strange bit I would call them less common indicators. From off the top of my head, some other less likely indicators include -
- cellular call index- people may make less call during a recession to save money on cal bills
- brothel index- people are less likely to visit brothels and strip clubs during a recession.
- shortlet index -hotels and rental businesses are affected. Less travels and sleepovers.
- gambling/casino index- people gamble less or restrict their gambling activities during an economic downturn.
325  Economy / Economics / Re: "I saw my salary on a bottle of perfume today" on: November 27, 2023, 08:10:44 PM

If you can't afford the perfume, then go for the one that you can afford. Let the people that can afford it buy it. With your little money, you're still going to get perfume, and you will be saint nice. So don't be disturbed by what you see, everyone is having his or her life to leave. If you can work hard, then you will also be able to afford it one day. But since one bottle of perfume is your one month salary, don't feel bad. Maybe your one month salary is what some people receive in 2-3 months. So you just have to be satisfied with what you have. Don't end up doing illegal things just because you want to buy expensive perfume, clothes, or cars. Just buy what you can afford at that particular time, and keep on working hard.
Well said.
Once we understand what what has been written here, out lives will be easier, simpler, better. We don't need to compare our lives and livelihood with others. For as long as we are hustling legitimately we need to take our eyes of social media comparison. That is not real life.
326  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is it difficult for people to get capital easily? on: November 27, 2023, 07:46:42 PM

How did you get your capital to start that business you are doing today? Or do you experience some things like this from your relatives, because to get capital these days is not easy for me, and there are some people all over the world looking for way to get this capital to start a good business but is not easy for them. Can you share your experience on how you get your capital.
I started the business that I'm doing today and the way I was able to get capital for it was through a loan. Not from your bank but from companies that give out loans with very high interest rates. Before I took out the loan though I already had a repayment plan set in place so as soon as I collected the loan I started to repair it immediately until I was done. This was how I raised capital to start my business. Prior to this time, I had asked family and friends for a loan but then everyone had their thing that they needed money to fix for them. When they refused, I didn't push further. I turned to the loan company. The interest rate was very high but I survived and my business is thriving.
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Got hacked, lost 11 BTC on: November 24, 2023, 08:35:36 PM
Sorry for the loss. But why have huge amount of coins on an online wallet? The safest wallets are offline/cold and multisig wallets. If you know you can not run your node with cold wallets or with multisig, do not have huge amount of coins on it.
This is such bad news.
Those who save their bitcoins in an online wallet is dancing tango with the devils. There is always a pains end to it. A thousand and one times it has been echoed that your best bet is to save your bitcoin in a multisignature or cold storage wallet.

I hope that it is not only you who have learned from this experience but others who are making the same mistake as you currently can learn and preventing the impending disaster.

Assuming that I have a business and one of the methods of payment is through bitcoin, do you think that this your logic will be correct or it applies that in this case. Nobody wants to pay anything extra high fees after making a purchase. It makes no sense especially with high fees. And it has nothing to do with affordability or not. Did you know that this is one of the issues that critics points out when talk against bitcoin and it is call scalability.
330  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this a good advice? on: November 24, 2023, 06:55:19 PM
I keep seeing gamblers advising themselves that you are one step closer to winning the jackpot when you quit too early,  it's sad that they strongly believe this.
Any gambler whose friend gives this sort of bad advice should be unfriended because it means that such as person doesn't have the best interest of his friend at heart. A good friend should be the wing man of his gambler friend. Advising when he is going on the extreme with his bets. That friend should be able to chip in words of encouragement when their friend loses and wants to chase the loss due to irrational thinking at that time. He should be able to say "We leave to fight another day." There is no joy in seeing a gambler friend loses and still losing . Or in debts because of gambling habit.
331  Economy / Economics / Re: No Correlation Between Academic Success and Financial Success on: November 24, 2023, 06:24:25 PM
Sometimes it is not about the financial success. At the end of the day, it boils down to success at home, health, friendship and good relationships. Some of the A students actually look at making impact in the world in whatever field they find themselves in. These A students don't care about who they work for as long as they are making impact. These A students are the Nobel Prize winners, Canada Gairdner Award, Fresenius Research Prize, The Laskers, Life Sciences Breakthrough Prize, MacArthur Fellowships, Tang Prize, Crafoord Prizes, The Fields Medal. This is what is important to them.
332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: November 24, 2023, 06:06:27 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this.
Most rich people who gamble do not play slots, they play table games which are more of games of skills. And as you may have know when the rich gamble they do it for socialization and for business purposes.

Quote
Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.

I think that when the rich gamble particularly those who are business people and entrepreneurs . Maybe the funds they use for gamble has been budgeted from the company funds. And of course the ROI on this is huge. Because when they win, they close the deal with the client.

Very cool!  If I had to criticize anything it would be the dings are a bit loud imo.
That correct and instead of a ding sound can it be like a swoosh sound. The ding sound makes it look like we are expecting digits but it is not what comes up.
Albeit, great job test the designing the bitcoin logo.

334  Economy / Economics / Re: this makes a huge impact on the economy. on: November 23, 2023, 09:29:57 PM

Do you also find yourself spending more on you payday?, or you approach your expenses differently?
This goes to show you how we as humans plan our lives around our salary. It is almost as if we are leaving to work for our salary and spend it the moment we are paid. And most of these expenses made when your salary has been received is impulse buying. Which is why it Is not bad of you wait it out for a few days before making any expenses. You will have more clear and logical thinking if you do so.
335  Economy / Economics / Re: You are the product. Corporations spying on us deeper than we thought? on: November 23, 2023, 08:36:44 PM
I guess this is what the world and tech has turned into right now. It is all about data data and data. Humans or consumers of tech products are just participants in a huge experiments going on and the data is being gathered and analysed by the research and development department of these corporations who have paid big money for this. While it is true that you can turn off permissions to camera and microphone on your phone when downloading an app it may not be possible for those who live in smart houses , or use cars that my have internet connectivity.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The love in football on: November 23, 2023, 08:19:00 PM
Which football are you referring to? Real football like NFL American football or soccer? I personally cannot stand soccer, but i'm only 1 person. My dislike is mainly related to the betting of the sport, it's just not my favorite. Now if you are talking NFL football, I LOVE THAT!!! Big hits, awesome celebrations after scores, many betting options it's just a great sport.
I think he is referring to football (soccer in United States). I do not like sport generally again too because the odds are low but some bettors prefer it saying they can analyze it more than casinos games but I prefer casinos now because of the better odds to chances of winning or losing.
If you are referring to American football, then I am outta here. I try to understand the game but it is too complicated unlike basketball that is without much complications. I may watch it but I do not bet on it because what I do not understand, I do not bet on.

I may try my hands one betting on one or two games if I feel the odds is rights after I get a hang of the game but for now, I am still learning about the sport.
337  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: unnecessarily quoting by members of the forum. on: November 23, 2023, 08:09:05 PM
Since joining this forum, I've always been keen on learning new things from the more experienced members. This approach has taken me a long way. learning from them the right way on how to navigate the forum.

Along the way, I've noticed that some members might not be learning the correct way to do various activities on the forum, particularly when it comes to quoting. Some members struggle to understand the proper way to quote, often making the mistake of quoting the wrong person. The forum's quote button is designed to mention the specific member you've added to your quote. I've come across many discussions on how to quote properly to avoid mistakes like this.
This is one of the earliest mistakes and most common mistakes that most users without a forum experience make in their earlier days on the forum. It is a conscious unconscious mistake that requires serious effort to avoid. And as you get better or older on the forum you divert to other quoting formats such as "~snip~", <...>. These are the commonest variants that I have seen. Another common mistake is quote without removing the picture or pictures from the quote.
338  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Someone just paid 83BTC for transaction fee, on: November 23, 2023, 03:35:01 PM
I heard a few cases like this which is a very costly mistake, I didn't know if this is a newbie or not.
A similar error occurred in September when Paxos paid around $500,000 transaction fee on a Bitcoin (BTC) transfer. It was an overpayment. Well, they were lucky that the miner who verified the transaction returned it. The best news on the internet will be if we read out the miner who would verify this overpayment return it. It is just some very silly mistake either made in the moment when the sender wasn't paying attention to details. That is why is it good to be in the moment when making transactions as this. Between overpaying transaction fees and sending bitcoin to the wrong bitcoin address, I wonder which is worse.


339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: November 23, 2023, 03:14:23 PM

I was telling someone that if I'm the one to have such a slip and the game is already showing me to cash out such an amount of money, which is equal to $865 based on our local exchange rate, seeing such an amount as cash out available and leaving it will make me appear like someone who is too greedy, but the guy was telling me it's not being greedy but it's all about taking risks. The debate didn't end well, so I decided to bring this up here to see the responses from experienced gamblers.

Your decision to cash out is based on economic factor from what I can predict. It is not based on greed or risk. At that point in time you are choosing to do what is best for you. There is no right or wrong motive here. The decision we take here will be based on our economic and financial situations.

Who knows what how much $865 would go in solving a need for you. So no shame in it. And if anyone says its greed accept it cash out. Maybe use 20% out of it for your next bet.
340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: November 23, 2023, 03:02:33 PM
Hello everyone,

I'm new here and trying to get an overview. However, it is not that easy, as there are a lot of crypto casinos and betting providers. I came across DEX Sports and after some research here on the forum I decided not to deposit any money there. My question now would be, at which crypto bookies can i deposit without hesitation? I am only interested in sports betting, so all bets should be settled correctly and payouts should be carried out without any problems. Also, maybe someone can comment on betting limits and bans/limits if you're a successful punter. I already know stake and am really very satisfied. Can you name bookies that act in a similarly serious and uncomplicated manner?
Common man, you gotta follow up with the conversations here. There are so many great sports books online. Some of which are being promoted here to know the best sports books here, just look at the sports book with the longest running signature campaign that you give you an idea of who the best of the best is. About the betting limits, I don't really know about that but whatever sports book catches your attention, visit their webpage and read their terms of services. The information you need would be right there and if peradventure it is not there, then you chat the customer support on the website, they will answer your questions correctly.
