Naturally lol. It's not even a matter of the bet being lost since in the first place the bet can be said to only be a sub part kind of thing only (if I described that right). The result matters the most naturally. It's also the same reason why I still feel the excitement if a match was a really good one even if the team I bet on lost because well, the match was that just good so you just can't help buy feel that they got a well-deserved win. I wouldn't describe it as "everything going wrong" though. Kind of over the top right there.

Periods like what we're experiencing right now should always be taken advantage of by people who trade since there are a lot more opportunities to profit due to the shorter time frame that the market does to jump from low to high and high to low. A lot harder when it's sideways since there are fewer opportunities to take profit from a trade. Wouldn't recommend it naturally if you're a bad trader though. Regardless of it being an opportunity, you still need to know how to take advantage of it (which I haven't when I tried in the past).

It was just any other day in the crypto market really lol. I guess a lot more people were simply impacted because of, well, the market going past ATH. If you've been in the market for the past decade heck, even the past couple of years you'd know this is something of the usual.

Well, wouldn't also blame late investors. It is kind of scary to see what you just bought at the peak dropdown after a couple of days but yea, rather than losing it permanently just wait a bit and see what happens. You're already at a loss anyway, might as well go all the way.

When their shitty ass support system suddenly starts asking questions yet takes frigging forever to answer. I'm not afraid of being investigated (I mean, I already applied to their KYC lol), I'm afraid of there having been no progress in terms of the investigation.

After that, the next fear is them using their random bs rules to take my money. I mean I sure as well would not be dumb enough to not know their rules so I'm not really scared prior to that, but they do have a clause that they can do whatever the hell they want if they found something suspicious and well, even though I'm confident there's nothing they can find from my transactions or documents, it doesn't change the fact that the final verdict lies on them.

True it can affect everyone, but it doesn't mean just anyone can bounce back from it. The guys you said could easily pay these stuff out really. It's easy to understand once you recognize the fact that casinos allowed them to take loans. A casino would never allow someone to take a loan if they know the person can't pay for it. Bruno Mars can (at least afaik). I reckon he has several lands or houses under his name that can easily pay this out or something.

As for Drake, well, same thing but a lot more transparent. Pretty sure we've all heard of him more than once or twice in the past year after all. While they may take a hit, it's pretty much just a temporary thing for these rich people.

If it's not open source or not from a trusted big company, I don't trust any bots. Telegram is known to be a hole filled with scammers so I generally wouldn't trust anything you'd find there till proven otherwise. If you have the spare money to test it out, then yea sure go ahead. If not then don't even bother really, just go on your way. If you really wanted a bot then hire someone to help you develop it. Might cost more but at least it's made specifically for your specifications.

I'm a dev myself so whenever I need one I just make one tbf so I'm pretty lucky with that.

Health should be a priority over anything else. It only becomes secondary if you don't have the financial capability to support you (even if you include various support systems that the government has) which means you're close to being truly fucked. Doesn't apply here to your friend so yea, he can pretty much take care of himself if he wants to. Most likely selling off a part of his portfolio would do the trick if he has spent all his money on investing.

Prevention is always 100% better than a cure.

Coinbase, Kraken. Binance would probably not be suitable for you since it has a separate exchange for US citizens (Binance US) which afaik, has lower market volume compared to the global Binance one. I think an alternative that has copy trading would be Bybit Gemini. Turns out Bybit isn't allowed in the US as well.

Anw good luck to you op!

2 days later? I'd probably go for $65,453. The hundreds to ones were just random, I'm really just voting for $65k lol.

Also, I suggest changing "exact to closest "instead"?

DePIN is a thing? Dang it honestly just sounds rather confusing to me really. Especially with how the economy is going to be affected by the token price itself, I don't think they'd be able to support the service in a constant and stable way in that case (if I understood what it does correctly).

Anyhow, I guess I'm mostly interested in Gaming? Though I guess if the narrative itself is pretty attractive I'd still take note of it. DePIN I'm more interested in general about how it actually works (A quick lookup didn't really answer much) and it'd still depend after if I'd ever actually take note of it.

Depends on how you think about it. If you see gambling as a place where only money is the process involved, then yeah, it's a place to lose it (it's not a joke when people say house always wins). However, if you look at gambling as a general activity, you can see money here as both a sort of entrance fee as well as a reward.

Losing money is still part of the process, but it isn't the end all be all of it. It's similar to how games work, you can still have fun even if you lose a game no? Same thing here. You can still have fun even if you lose money. Though I guess in general it isn't exactly fun to lose money . But hey, it's all about how you look at things.

I'd honestly want to pay someone to guide me to teach the fundamentals really since it can be rather daunting (and confusing) to enter something you were completely new with. Just the general gist of things I guess? Outside of that, I wouldn't really pay a dime. It just speeds things up imo and you can generally avoid dumb mistakes due to being in an unfamiliar environment. After that it's just a rinse and repeat of looking for sources of info and losing/profiting money from trading.

It also helps if said guide was an "actual" professional. Hard to say most of the time with how the internet is though, so I get the idea of learning everything on your own. It's what I also did at the start after all, hence why I'd much rather learn from someone since I do not want to go through that again lol.

I highly doubt it. If we ever go down, it'd be at most to around $55k or $50k. I'd probably expect to see a bounce back whenever we do reach those levels since a lot of people are still rather bullish. The current correction we have was honestly something I expected around when we went to $50 -55k, but probably went a lot higher due to the FOMO back then.

Still, again, I don't think we'd be seeing $40k so if you're thinking of waiting to buy, don't. Just DCA if you really want to. The halving still hasn't even happened, and I expect the effects of said halving to happen half a year to a year later anyway.

Nope. In the eyes of a businessman, whatever the hell is wrong with you isn't an issue as long as it isn't an issue that shows during work hours. I'd probably talk it out with them first beforehand to find out what's wrong or if there's an issue, but I highly doubt it's something I can fix as their employer in the first place.

If it starts affecting his performance, say more absences, more lapses in decision making, or dazing around in the middle of work, then yea I'd fire him without a doubt. But even those that don't gamble sometimes do those, so it isn't really a "gambling" problem per se, simply a work performance problem.

They're complaining but just not with prices. I've also seen a lot of people complain about how wages aren't exactly keeping up with inflation. You can technically grow with the times by finding a better job with a better salary, but with how things go, it's rather risky to leave your current job to find a better one in the current state already. That's in cases where you can afford or can find a better job. Some people just can't. They might even be littered with debts.

Even I've felt the change despite us already living with home-cooked meals instead of restaurant meals (which is a lot cheaper in most cases). I am glad that we're still pretty well off all things considered though.

Bitcoin and the top 10 altcoins in the market. After that I'll just let them be and if they ask for more advice, then I'd tell them to read up. Study the market, checkout what's trending to the investors, and about what news and announcements there are concerning crypto adoption and whatnot. They're their own person, and I'm my own after all. If they were all about trying to profit without thinking, I'd tell them to just check copytrading or something similar.

If they wanted to make like 100x gains though then I'd tell them to dyor since altcoins that can give you that much are usually new in the market, and well, most of said new coins are most often than not rugpull scams or just bad tokens in general.

Something similar to you OP, just a bit better though. Heck I think the worst idea we've had as friends was playing in the middle of the class. We were plenty known to the faculty staff to be that little group that plays cards all the time so whenever the teacher rolls down the hallway, they know to always check our classrooms to see whether we're playing or not. We've had like a dozen or two deck of cards that were confiscated due to that lmao.

After those instances though I've completely swapped to online gambling. A few instances of playing together with new friends in college, but nothing too crazy happened there.

Man, you need better time management. I don't think you playing quickly is the reason you're losing, you're just unlucky imo but playing like you're in a rush does affect your mentality. It's not only limited to gambling really, anything you want to enjoy and you rush it? That's not enjoyment anymore. That's labor.

It also seems like you're playing for too long since it lasts till midnight. You can try keeping it short imo. Maybe about an hour or an hour and a half every time you get home? Idk if it can work with gambling but it's usually my schedule to study after work (and it works). Or if you can't manage the time, manage the money instead. Make it so that your bets can only last you for that long.

I did this a couple of times... I was a blind fan back then lol but granted it's not really because they had a bad matchup or anything heck the matches afaik could've gone either way with how strong both teams were most of the time, so in those cases, I simply went for my favorite team.

In cases where they performed underwhelming and were against a pretty well-performing team, I'd mostly still go for them. In this context underperforming in that specific tournament, not in every tournament in general. If that happened, I'd stay away from stake on them until they get their stuff back together. Doesn't matter that I like them, I like them in the first place cause they were good anyway.

The game itself? I don't think so. All casino games rely on luck (or well, should rely on luck) so even if there was AI in play, they wouldn't necessarily do anything to the game itself. Even if people started relying on AI to check what the bets would result to, they'd just fire off numbers based on probability, statistics and whatnot, nothing too impossible for a human to do if given time. And even then, it's only just numbers, it's not a guarantee whatsoever.

There may be more varieties to be developed if AI can be implemented but I can't exactly see how it would be done so in the first place though. It's just a possibility at this point. Totally different thing with sports though since if given enough data, AI may have the capability to perform simulations, possibly thousands to hundreds of thousands to give out a probable result. I mean in those cases to hell be the history of the team, I can make the AI run that matches X amount of times and they'd give me the team that won the most matches.
