321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: April 19, 2023, 05:26:55 PM
On one hand I think that only fools play the lottery, but on the other, you can't win if you don't play.  I used to get in to big state lotteries when it would get up in to the hundreds of millions or over a billion dollars during a work "pool", where say 10 of us at work would pool our money to buy as many tickets as we decided and if any of the numbers hit we would of course split that.  Since we had a better chance at winning that way, I would play...but I don't think I've ever played just by myself.  I feel the same for lotto tickets.  I'd rather spend $1-5 on some shitcoin that might pump over wasting my money on a lotto ticket that has a .00001% chance of hitting even a decent win.
You are probably right that the probability of winning a lottery is basically too low unless you buy a lot of tickets and manage to get some percentage of the total sold tickets, that might give you some chances of winning but that might not even be worth it since you've already spent a lot of money on it and since your spent money doesn't cover a very high percentage, the chances are you will lose the money more than to win a prize.

So it's definitely not a good practice to spend a lot of money on lotteries where your chances of winning are too low, but some people just always tend to believe in trying their luck in almost everything, I personally wouldn't mind participating but only if I'm getting free tickets some way, lol.
322  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Alt coins in the next century on: April 19, 2023, 04:34:40 PM
The term altcoin refers to tens of thousands of coins which are independent from each other so it is not possible to give a general answer regarding their future, some will fail and some will succeed, however the majority of the altcoins will fail for two simple reasons, the first reason is that even if an altcoin is any good there could always appear a new coin which is even better and make the first coin to disappear
I don't think so that they are independent, alts value can be influenced by other bigger alts and alts can also be influenced by BTC. As long as the altcoin has a better purpose, it can get a demand and it can survive for a long time. New coins can have a new function but old alts shouldn't allow to be overtaken by them. They must do something if they want to remain in the crypto world. See ETH? It was among the old alts but its devs are always updating the coin to ensure that it can keep up with the competition. There are so many new alts but they are not successful to overtake ETH.

while the second reason altcoins fail is that they were simply a money grab by the developers and they do not care about the long term prospects of their project at all.
They are lucky to grab money but most of them just fail because investors nowadays are now wise. Some can earn money but these are only limited. If only their devs make a serious and useful project, they will have a bigger chance to be recognized and they can earn long term profits.

Well in my part as long as there is no emergency reason i will not borrow money, because borrowing money is easy but paying the interest of it is very hard, it is better that as long as we can afford our basic needs we will not borrow money because borrowing money will not help us to become rich it will only bring us more down and it will make us poor.
If only people like you save money or have a savings with them, this is the one that you will be using when you are in for emergency and not going to borrow money from someone else. Borrowing money in the past is hard. There are different process and most importantly they require a good collateral but nowadays it's now easy and you can even borrow without any collateral but it doesn't mean you can now run away and plan to not pay the loan because they still have your personal details and you can be reported to the authorities.

It's crazy if there are people who thinks that borrowing money can make them rich but how or in what way? Maybe they are planning to use this money in gambling, trading or in business but still, there are risks in them. Indeed that the opposite can in fact to them.
324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 18, 2023, 03:42:31 PM
I will tell you what limits you from losing at slot machines and the only thing is to stop playing them.I have been playing them for several years and I have won just a couple of times while I have lost in a consistent way in the long term and no RTP,or weekly budget will save you,maybe they will do in the beginning but once you hit a bad,really bad session the rage will get the best of you and you will continue playing,sometimes even increasing your bet which will lead to really bad consequences and the losing of all your balance.

I have more than 3 weeks now without touching a slot a machine and I can tell you that the feeling is great,I just play some sport bets and watch the games,entertaining myself.
Well slots is the most deadly game along with the dice.

You can lose half of the bankroll you hold in just a couple of spins only and you can do that over and over again especially if the machine or the playform give you a huge winning on a small bets .. thats how slots sucking our money , cheap tricks but it works.
Dice is actually not as deadly as slots but it becomes more deadly when people apply Martingale strategy on it trying to recover their losses by increasing their initial bet by 2x for every loss. One would do fine if they keep the initial bet when playing Dice and shuffling the roll type, odds, and other settings that are changeable.

Slots, on the other hand, are most of the time a nightmare for your bankroll since it's pretty difficult to hit a multiplier and you wouldn't even realize it and you will soon be out of money, that is how engaging yet deadly it is.
325  Economy / Gambling / Re: List of crypto casinos with high wagering requirements on: April 18, 2023, 02:56:34 PM
So, next time you're choosing between a bonus or not, remember: it's not just cash. It's the experience, the thrill, and maybe striking it rich. Who knows? You might even learn to navigate the casino seas like a pro
It is the ease of depositing and withdrawing your funds afterwards that matters. As always there are no hitches to deposit in most of the casinos but the conditions begin during the time of withdrawal. So it is better for a gambler to do a review on the withdrawal pattern of casino that they want to bet on. If a casino has clearly stated KYC in their ToS and you don't like that,it is better to avoid it. Worse is a casino stating 5x wager before withdrawal of your money, that is out of it because there is no way you can learn to navigate the casino seas like a pro.  Grin
Lol, the part about the wagering requirement is so true, no matter how professional you consider yourself to be, you are probably going to lose everything before you meet the 5x wagering requirement if that's a requirement before you can withdraw, since gambling is mainly based on your luck and not your professionalism and how you surf the casino and its games.

A casino with such a requirement is simply stealing money from its gamblers in the name of a requirement that is nearly impossible to be met, it is understandable to have multiple x wagering requirements for bonuses but not for the deposited money itself.
326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 18, 2023, 01:31:03 PM
In the match between the two teams, I did not think that Pakistan would play so badly in batting. I thought that Pakistan could easily score the runs that New Zealand had given as the target. But the words of the New Zealand team put the batsmen of the Pakistan team under pressure. The batsmen of Pakistan  Babar Azam was out for 1 run off 6 balls. I didn't think that a good batsman like Babar Azam would score only 1 run.
I agree that Pakistan is always unpredictable team, so we can expect performance like this from them even they lost few early wickets but still done better job while they were chasing 163 reached 159 just because of aggressive approach from Iftikhar Ahmad who was hero for Pakistan in this fail chase but still we have a match which have good entertainment for fans and quality cricket as well.

New Zealand bowlers who have no enough experience doing good job in this series and not allowing Pakistan for having any big target in these three early matches now they are heading for the Rawalpindi for the last two T20i and first two ODI's of this series.
327  Economy / Speculation / Re: I missed the bottom or i have time to invest on: April 18, 2023, 04:33:09 AM
It is very difficult to correctly identify the bottom or top  of any trade able asset even for experienced individuals in technical analysis. The primary function of technical analysis is provide insight about a particular asset or market such as Bullish, bear or sideways trends, and predict potential price movement of any specific asset based on its previous patterns. The most effective and workable strategy is to accumulate Bitcoin or any other asset on every significant dip and continue doing so until your trade becomes profitable and at this point it is up to you to decide whether to book profit or hold onto asset until your trade reaches your target profit.
We will only know that the price was at the bottom or at the top once we pass through it, or if we already end the year and check the price history. The only thing that we can do is to trust our instincts and buy when we feel that this was the bottom or sell when we feel that it was the top but other than instincts, of course we must do an analysis first.

We can buy BTC even the price isn't at the bottom but it's risky to do it on other coins. If other coins are dumping, it doesn't mean that they are now good to buy but we must research these coins first if they have a potential to recover and rise or they are dumping because their mission is over.
328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What are Meme Coins? on: April 17, 2023, 04:23:01 PM
It's a risk to invest in meme coins, and I suggest that you put money that you are willing to risk because it will be a problem if you risk everything. You need to know that you are getting into something that is not predictable and more volatile than Bitcoin because it needs to be established. Be careful with that for sure.

It's the first time I read of FMCpay. Any reviews anyone?
Even as the name implies, as Meme coin. It is not what someone will invest huge money and expect profits. It is a coin for opportunists and risk takers and what characteristics of this coin is that its success largely depends in the community's ability to hype the project.
Another thing about meme coins is their ability to be easily manipulated. For instance, dodge is at the mercy of Elon Musk and twitter. I don't actually know the hype that drives Shiba and how it will be able to redeem it from the button of the bear.
In the early days of the meme coins, people are overwhelmed about their potential that they are risking a huge amount of money because they think its a short cut to becoming a billionaire or trillionaire. Some got lucky but later on, almost all meme coins are not pumping anymore.

As of now there are only two meme coins left who are alive and that is none other than Doge coin and Shiba Inu but they are rarely pumping as well so I don't think people are still attracted on them. As of now, the hype is on Arbitrum, Optimism, Space Id, and Zksync who also did an airdrop. They are not meme coins so they are a better investment for the long term.
329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 16, 2023, 07:21:12 PM
This match was very important for Lens. Because they were fighting for PSG's title. And if PSG manages to defeat the team in this match, Lens' points gap with PSG will decrease. And the road to the title would have been a little easier for Lens. But Lens failed completely. PSG's attack performed well in this match. Messi and Mbappe both managed to score. Mbappe even had an assist. If PSG can continue this kind of performance, then their performance will be more stable in the future. And the PSG team will definitely win the Ligue 1 title.
Actualy in this match against Monaco, Lens is near to even lose their position in the table because in the last game against PSG, they lost important three points and decrease their chance for first place in the table they currently have 63 points and played one game more than Marseille while if they lose points in the next week against Monaco there is a high chance for them to lose their place.
After losing against PSG now situation is not easy for the Lens to stay at the second spot most chances they will give tough challenge to Monaco for the third spot because they have done good work throughout season and losing from here for the lower than three spots could be big setback for all players and management as well.

Against PSG they were completely down and out of the game early with red card play vital role Messi and Mbappé duo was also on rampage and now allow them to have any easy time on ground now difference is 9 points from Lens and possibly 8 points from Marseille which is going to play against troyes in tonight match.

I am interested in the https://bithound.io/de/casino/national-casino/ and would like more information about it. I wonder how reliable and safe this online casino site is. Are there any independent reviews or verifications that confirm its legitimacy
Nobody will guarantee a casino for you, we can only give our take on them base on our personal experience or how we feels about these casinos, but that doesn't mean it's the final jurge because we have gamblers giving different reviews on casinos base on the level of their satisfaction, i will advise you conduct your own research by yourself and make comparisons together with what others have given about the casino.
Why not? There are casinos which are verified to be legit and we can always recommend them to him. All of us has their own different experience. Some will like the ambiance, the games, the rules, and so on.. but we will all unite and say that it's better to play on a legit gambling site because if the site is a scam, all other features will still be useless.

If he is new in these things, he may not know how to make his own research so all he can do is to trust the people in the forum but he must not worry. He is on the right place as most of the users here are helpful to the newbies and won't recommend something that will be risky for them.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 16, 2023, 11:55:00 AM
What Bayern Munich is expecting from Tuchel won't be easy and they might not get it from him. In the second leg game against  Manchester City in the champions league  I doubt if Bayern Munich can score Manchester City with this amount of goals, even if Bayern Munich succeeds in beating Manchester City the goals won't be much.
I agree with you about it, Bayern Munich even at home can not do so, At least Pep Guardiola knows how to play them very well
Thomas Tuchel might lot of faith from Bayern Munich but he is not the coach to win them the next Champions League he is too defensive
As for the bundesliga it is possible but the Champions League is a big no no
This is my personal statement, but I have to say that change of coach is surely happened on wrong time which is now having big impact on their performance with most chances they will face exit from Champions League in second leg after conceding three goals in first leg match, and they have to done hard work for the Bundesliga title because just 2 points difference can bring any change in any game with Borussia Dortmund already lost their chance but still things could be interested in remaining matches for the title race.

As they play against Hoffenheim, this performance can bring problems for their chances into Bundesliga as well because just six matches and any poor result they could be out of the competition.
332  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 15, 2023, 06:14:41 PM
Looking at how Memphis is growing and how they are doing decently, I would guess that Lakers will not have an easy time. Many people think that because Lakers have Lebron and Lebron plays differently on playoffs, they will end up with a win. However, lets realize that Lebron is in his 20th year and he can't just carry the whole team anymore, he hasn't done that in a long time, they barely got into the playoffs this season thanks to that trade, without that trade they might have even lost it as well.

So all in all I would guess that it is not going to be easy, Memphis on the other hand has been playing well all season long and should be able to defend Lebron very well, if Lebron still can manage to win it, then it would be something amazing without a doubt.
333  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bitcoin is a light on: April 14, 2023, 07:08:50 PM
When you put on a light it shines and everyone sees how goad it is, you don't need to convince anyone light is good, you need a light. In several articles I come across I see people talking about how can they convince people about bitcoin, convincing people about bitcoin is just a waste of time, it is like trying to convince someone why they should need a light.

Bitcoin have gone too far and too big for you to keep convincing people about bitcoin. Their is nothing wrong introducing bitcoin to people who don't have knowledge about it, but it is wrong to convince people to accept it, bitcoin is too real and too good to waste energy convincing people of it.
It is probably true that convincing a person who has known and seen Bitcoin for all these years and is still doubtful is truly a waste of time and energy, though there is nothing wrong in providing information and knowledge to someone who doesn't know anything about it because that is not called convincing, it is called educating, and if they aren't convinced, just leave them, they will surely regret it someday in the future.

Your responsibility should only be to convey the knowledge and leave everything else to them to decide whether they want to get in on the ride toward a better future or they want to stay out of it and regret it later.
334  Economy / Speculation / Re: 30k Bitch!!! on: April 14, 2023, 06:32:01 PM
I really wish that the price goes up to $35k from this point, but somewhere from the inside, I feel it isn't going to happen. I just wish and hope that the market proves me wrong and touches that milestone before the end of this month.
It's just your feeling, you don't have any proof to prove it won't happen. If you are waiting for bitcoin to move higher, then be optimistic because investing requires optimism. Pessimism is not profitable for you. The market is unpredictable, as long as you always have a plan for your investment, it doesn't matter if bitcoin goes up or down, there is always a way to cope when the market drops.
Yeah, the market is too unpredictable, and that is the reason why it feels like it is going to get a correction from this point. It couldn't hold it strong after testing the $31k mark and went down shortly after that, which can either be a signal that $30k is going to be the next resistance, or it was just a fractional correction.

Either way, I'm still positive that we will see another jump pretty soon, and that's when I would like to start doing DCA, I wouldn't buy all-in on a single price point considering how unpredictable it has become lately.

Since they have experienced being jailed, they should have taken a lesson from it. It is important that we'll know the gambling regulations in each country so we will not experience trouble. Regarding his gambling addiction, it is not your responsibility anymore but as a friend, you must still put an effort to convince him to know his limitations. Even if he doesn't follow your advice, at least you have done your part to remind him of the risks.
That's probably the most that he can do at this point, considering his friend has already become an addict and definitely needs help to get out of that, whatever has happened to him is obviously not because of OP but he was only trying to be of help since they were facing difficulties to gamble and he thought he would suggest him something that might be useful for them.

Little he knew that one of them will soon start ruining their life only because they are now able to gamble without any limits or threats from the authorities, now it's their own responsibility to get out of it and if one helps them they should be thankful.
336  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Any resources to do your own on-chain analysis? on: April 13, 2023, 06:50:21 PM
So, since the data is available from the chain, can we do our analysis?
Blockchain data are stored on public ledgers and if you have skills to program your tools to retrieve data from blockchains or call APIs to download data from some blockchain explorer services, you can have completed blockchain data which can be used for your on-chain analysis.

However, you must learn how to code for retrieving data and analyzing data.

You can do it with R, Python and some other languages.

https://github.com/topics/on-chain-analysis
Coding seems like too hard for an average Joe and it takes time to learn it. Most importantly is, this isn't the one the OP wants to learn but he is more concerned of trading or investing. If he have some cash with him, he can just pay some coders to gather the data's for him. That should save him from the hassle.

Blockchain data's are free though and anyone can see it. If you have a basic understanding on how crypto works, I am sure that you can analyze the data that you see in the blockchain on your own but it was still up to you if you want to complicate things further. I rarely heard this on-chain analysis but we can add it on the current analysis that we are using (e.g technical and fundamental) in order to have a better winning rate.
337  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Investing against 2024 on: April 13, 2023, 06:16:30 PM
2024 is only next year from now while the bitcoin opportunity is still long with the user population still minimal, and it is possible that it will grow all over the world. although digital money appears in the future and bitcoin for example is not mentioned. then investing next year still has a good chance, considering bitcoin is a decentralized system that is the opposite of the banking system, so freedom seems to be fully guaranteed
2024 is a few months away and people are not scared with it but rather they are excited because this is the date for another Bitcoin halving and that should greatly improved Bitcoin. Users population is not tiny but if it grows big, that should increase the BTC adoption. There are already digital money before Bitcoin came but Bitcoin is the only one that is given a title to be the future of money. That is how great Bitcoin was.

This is why many hates it and the banks are creating a counter to it but I don't think they can destroy BTC. They can request to ban BTC but they can not force the people to use their own digital currency as it's not in the level of Bitcoin.

1xbet refused to pay more than 20k euros to me, also to my friends, They are scam site. IF you winning, they will refuse to pay you even if you ask all documents.
Very dogy people and site https://www.casino.org/news/1xbet-reportedly-bankrupt-following-case-in-front-of-the-european-court/
So sorry abut your experience with 1xbet. They are a scam casino infamous for their scam activities on their casino. They have scammed so many of their members and their reputation here is dented and account flagged for scamming people of their hard earned resources. They are also running a campaign here and virtually all the campaigners and promoters have been flagged for dealing and helping them to promote their scam site.  @Alisha you are advising to make use of 1xbet after fully aware of the state of 1xbet presence here . Do you want him to be scammed.  Do well to do your own research before engaging 1xbet so that " had i known" will not be your thoughts after being scammed by them.
The user who is referring them to 1xbet or 1xbit is one of their signature campaign participants and they are paid to promote the website, so it's obvious that they will suggest that casino but it's a gamblers own responsibility to choose a platform that they know is trusted and will not scam them out of their money.

For OP's case, he is already tagged himself to be a violator since he is limited in almost every bookie or gambling platform out there, so I'm not sure if he would get any help from anyone unless he is proven not guilty.
339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 13, 2023, 10:29:30 AM
Will there come a time when online casinos will implement that you upload a responsible gambler certificate before you continue to play because of too many government restrictions it's not necessary for newly registered gamblers but for gamblers who lose a lot of money and their activity is they are suspected to be addicted to gambling.
The reason why the government will implement this, as a precaution, is to protect people from losing their wealth and their health from too much gambling because of addiction, it's a way of protection.
This is one thing that is impossible for online casino.
Casino's can't  control who want to gamble and who dont want to gamble, responsible or irresponsible. Even the addicted gambler will claim a responsible gambler because he want to gamble. Who looses his wealth or health as a result of gambling addiction is not casino's issues.
For instance in the case of a drunkered, the seller will never stop selling alcohol to a drunkerd as long as he pays for his alcohol. In the case of online casino, they can't predict who is an addict or who has lost his wealth as a reault of gambling addiction.
So for an online casino to upload a responsible gambler certificate before continue gambling is almost impossible.
The harsh reality is, that a person who is addicted to something will find a way to do that no matter what, whether you restrict them, or do whatever you want to prevent them from doing that, but there will be a place or a person that they will find to fulfill the needs of their addiction because it is something that one cannot control.

Even if most casinos apply something like that, there will always be a platform that will allow everyone to gamble, and after such a scenario, such a casino will earn a lot of profits and get a lot of customers that will be restricted from other platforms.

Trading is a job that requires precision, patience and analysis, and most of these things are mastered by women than men, the simple thing is when a woman wants to buy goods, she can be patient in bidding so she can get the best price, it is only natural that the trading competition between women and men will be won by women .
Not sure about precision or analysis, but they are probably better than men when it comes to patience. You can hardly find a man who is patient enough to have a strong grip on their emotions, on the other side, it is very difficult to find a woman who is impatient, it's like they were born patient and it is not only about trading but about everything in general.

Patience in trading is a very crucial element since it is what makes you take the best decisions and stops you from making quick and uncertain decisions when the market isn't in it's best condition, that is the main reason why men lose money in trading.
