Well, higher risk = higher reward so wagering more will have higher chances of winning compare to a gambler who is wagering less amount of money.
Obviously, but as gambler, I notice that not all people are wiling to risk big to win big, most of the people just willing to risk small to win big.
That alone makes them being unrealistic in their approach, they can also win but the chance will be very low.

Waging higher give you higher chances of winning but still the chances of losing is still there so if you can handle the risks and consequences that you may face whenever you are gambling then yeah use huge amounts of money in gambling and vice versa.
Therefore just go with your range, or what you can afford only.
Winning in gambling does not need to be instant, if you are really good or you have the skills, you can use an approach that is slowly but surely.
3242  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is a Store of Value on: May 10, 2020, 10:34:37 AM
Not gonna panic for short term as a dump and a pump is quite normal for an asset that most of the volume are own by the whales.
It remains a store of value as long as we have its price on the rise or at a stable price, of which increasing price is always possible in the long term. So it becomes a good store of value provided you know the risks.
I think one of the key factors we should take into account to answer this question is how Bitcoin is used. If people use it to buy stuff, it's money. If they hodl during the hard times, it's a store of value (even if Bitcoin is going down but people keep holding it). Here we encounter the problem of 'people' as different humans use Bitcoin in different ways. For me, Bitcoin is something I'd like to be money, but effectively is a store of value. For a person who was about to lose a fortune because of holding stock that went rapidly down due to the pandemic, it can be a save haven. For people who bought some BTC with the stimulus money from the US it's an investment opportunity. Bitcoin is certainly many things, and perhaps we should look at how it's used rather than argue how it's supposed to be used.
If we like to see bitcoin as a good store of value, then we should hope for a massive adoption as only the real demand will appreciate its value.
Right now, it's still controlled by the whales, but in the future, quantity of users will beat them as they can't have this kind of power forever, so for now its not a good store of value but if you believe on its future, you should start holding now.

What is your observation on this  and do you prefer other gambling games over the crash games ?
The same as you,
I prefer other gambling games over crash games because playing crash games is really irritating. The game will give you the feeling of they are being unfair to you, which leads to being greedy.

lol, how can it be unfair when you are the one making a decision? this game is popular because its fun, only those who can't control themselves are complaining because when they play they want to get big profit until it crash, there are other kinds of games of course and personally I would not recommend to focus this kind of game, unless you are just playing it for fun.

legendary NBA center Shaquille O'Neal says league leadership should cancel current nba season and prepare new nby season.
He believes that player safety is the most important.
Also, the disruption of the competition has disrupted everything and many players have fallen out of the competitive rhythm so the continuation of the competition could result in unexpected results.
Source: https://www.index.hr/sport/clanak/shaq-treba-otkazati-nba-sezonu-sto-ako-pobijedi-netko-tko-nije-trebao/2181759.aspx

Easier to said that actually, but in the part of the owner, they are now thinking to survive or to at least get their loses. If the Vaccine will not be produce for at least a year, then is it safe to assume that there's no NBA for a year? I mean, Shaquille O'Neal is already talking about the next season, how sure he is that the vaccine will be available by that time?
3245  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Extremely low bounty rewards on: May 09, 2020, 11:59:04 PM
There is a lot of good bounty's rewards here. We'll check the accurate bounty that allocates the right coins. I agree with you. Many new platforms offer low coins allocation. That is really unethical. We should avoid these types of bounty.

But if such project is almost guaranteed to be a success, then maybe you can't blame people to join on it.
As a bounty hunter, we are looking for better reward but we have to choose at the current situation, whether we will waste our time chasing for big bounty campaign that in the end will just fail, or just accept a low bounty reward that gives a better chance that we can sell right after we receive it.

That's life, we should adjust.
3246  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: High rewards still possible in bounties? on: May 09, 2020, 11:32:31 PM
Is high rewards like 350,000$ for bounty hunters still possible this days? I know it's all down to the success of the project but is this still achievable? How many successful projects with such reward paid hunters since 2018 that you know?
I think so, I was thinking that it was depends on the CEO of a project if they will be given the huge amount but for this time they are basing on the current market situation also the investor is having a doubt if they are going to invest on not existing platform or the investor invest if they run an IEO on the top exchange.

I guess nowadays it's hard to find a bounty that is giving a high reward and will be successful at the same time.

We got used to maybe in the past, but we are in different situation now, most of the IEO are still struggling to collect their target amount so the more they will struggle when it's already listed in exchange, based on what I notice, only few IEO projects are successfully selling higher than their original price and most of them are from IEO listed in Binance.
3247  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I invest in this new IEO on: May 09, 2020, 12:17:47 PM
IEO is only profitable when you engage in large exchanges and have a lot of users. For small exchanges like Latoken, I believe they will not be able to make you a profit. So you need to consider carefully before making investment decisions
That's given considering investors now would trust a bigger exchange than a smaller exchange.
Binance for example is the leading exchange now for the IEO, and people are hoping they can invest because as what the trends are showing, the coin will pump when the trading will start, which is also why other exchanges are faking their volume so they can attract investors to participate in the IEO.
3248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Crash game more risky ? on: May 09, 2020, 11:42:10 AM
The reason why crash game make people lose money is because they are greedy and thats is why they have come to the casino. In other words greed kills but I guess it is not needed to be said since the player is a gambler.


I think we can't say people are losing because they are greedy, that's part of the game, you want to get bigger multiplier then the chance will be lesser, since this game is a luck based game, it's just normal for some people who will chase a high multiplier.

just like playing in a dice with high multiplier, or sports betting with parlay bets, now, if you win and you still gamble, maybe that is considered greediness IMO.
3249  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Don't hate long term promotions on: May 09, 2020, 11:20:34 AM
I never look at time. I study only the project. The team is important to me, what contribution the project makes. In general, all the important aspects as an investor. Time = money. They say this for a reason.
Yes, time is like money, because for anyone that time is a very valuable capital, so who has never seen time is a person who is royal and extravagant and stupid, because if someone does not value his time, then he will not appreciate anything else.
I value the time that we promote the project, what if we have to promote for a year and the project is guaranteed a success, can we still promote that long? We are losing a lot of opportunity especially if the reward is not that high, that is why we want it short so we can try to promote other projects and earn more, actually, we don't want to be bounty hunters all the time, if we consider this as a job, we also hope soon we will retire with enough money to enjoy our retirement, so we are looking and hoping to hit something big.
3250  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency can not replace fiat currency. on: May 09, 2020, 10:47:32 AM
It seems to me that you are confusing a decentralized cryptocurrency with a national digital currency) The national digital currency will not be subject to volatility and will be fully centralized. And this is the main goal for any government - control over its citizens.

That's right and compared to bitcoin or cryptocurrency, our fiat or national digital currency is more useful in terms of payment for the fact that it's faster and regulated at the same time, however, if people think of holding their fiat, then they should think wisely as we know how the government are handling our financial system, the economy is struggling and fiat's inflation will increase.
3251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Gambling Life During Quarantine on: May 08, 2020, 10:35:30 AM
Gamblers would still not be affected I guess, they'll find a way to gamble, just like when the taxes are raise on liquor and cigarettes, people are still buying it, so it should not be different with gambling as usually people who consume the aforementioned are gamblers as well.
Depends on 2 factors mainly during this time:

1- Sports Betting: Because of the complete shutdown of almost all sports there is frustration among gamblers because those simulated reality games are nothing but HIGH HOUSE EDGE casino in my opinion.

2- Money Problem: Since a large portion of the society has been influenced by the covid-19 pandemic there are people who are not able to spend as much as they would in normal days and hence struggling to gamble.

Overall I believe gambling has increased in general because people have nothing to do but to sit at home and pass their time and gambling is one good way to do so.

The poor will not be able to gambler because they need money at this time but we have people who are still making money at the moment and they want to entertain themselves, just like the people who are going into a land based casino, they love to risk big money but since it's not possible to go in a land based casino, they might find the online gambling as the best alternative, so the crypto casino or online casino will still live and remain profitable despite of the pandemic.
3252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health 🤕symptoms on: May 08, 2020, 10:21:53 AM
Moderate is good but the higher it is the more dangerous they are. People become addicted to drugs and drink when they constantly have the high adrenaline level in their body.


That's likely the effect of gambling addiction as no gambler would just gamble all day, sometimes this addiction would not allow us to sleep since we don't have a peace of mind, therefore these addicts will try do drugs and drink so they can be calm and they'll be able to sleep when they are too drunk.

You talk like all gamblers are also alcoholics. While this may be true for most of them, I think not all are like this. There are also gamblers that know what they are doing and not losing control on anything. Not on their health, not on their finances.

It is possible to be a responsible gambler. You don't need to lose your health.

It's true that its possible to be a responsible gambler that's why not all gamblers are addicted as majority of the gamblers are responsible, however, if a gambler will be addicted, it's possible also that he can be addicted with alcohol and drugs, not in many cases but the possibility is still there.
3253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mobile Legends Gambling [Part II] on: May 05, 2020, 12:32:17 PM
Wow this one is exciting and one question OP is there any live video for the match? Since I believe there are people who love to watch the game and to see what the outcome of the match.
We will wait for the response of OP, I hope he will be able to read all the suggestions and request in this thread.

It's part 2 as stated by OP so that means the part 1 is already successful so there's no reason for the part 2 to get a success to, anyways I can't partake on this game since I don't trust my skills  Grin I always play on survival since playing solo in rank is so stressfull.
Why not participate?, as OP stated, this is just for fun, a small amount of bet is good enough, I think IIRC he was talking about a certain amount like $10 to $15, that's just a small amount but the amount of entertain you will get here is gonna be huge.
3254  Economy / Economics / Re: Mining: Halving will destroy the half of us. on: May 05, 2020, 12:21:18 PM
But, that possibly will happen because of the increase in difficulty. I think the small miners understand this even before they've started mining.
I agree with that, those early miners if they were able to get a good amount of bitcoin and they manage it properly, they'll be able to buy good mining equipment now to prepare for every halving, this time its for the big company that will play the game, they will because they can and small miners will just not gonna survive, so instead of mining, it's better to invest our money in bitcoin and learn how to trade, still the same result if we will be successful as we will still make bitcoin in the crypto space.

if you manage to create your own tournament can you make a live video stream for the game play so we can watch .
Fine for me, cause we are all here for the fun. Smiley
Sure thing this will be fun, but we will be having more fun if we will also put a little bet on a team that we think would win.
How about that? Can OP facilitate the bettor as well? Since there is no sports to bet on right now, maybe this one would give at least a little entertainment.

the question is who will be interested to bet for players. Both team need to have their own persons/beter to get the same amount of bet for each team before the game start.

They can do it also in this thread and make only a deal in public and there should be an escrow who will hold all the money of both team bet.

They have an escrow in the part one,  it was listed by OP.

Escrow List:

Escrow List:

BlockEye

This happened last 2018 but I guess these people are still active, what I understand is this game is there will be a competition and the players will have to pay like a registration, winner takes all, so what I am requesting is just an additional job by OP but it will make this competition more fun especially if they will do a live streaming.
3256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this period killed your desire or exited it on: May 05, 2020, 09:48:22 AM
I wonder if everything would go back to normal as how it was. Our country is actually starting to adjust to what they call the "new normal", they started making divisions for all transportation, business establishments, sidewalks and etc. Experts say that CORONA will just like be any other disease and it will not vanish. So, I wonder how will people adjust in terms of casino and sports. Let's hope that there will be a vaccine for CORONA soon, because if what experts predicted is true, it will take time and it will be difficult to adapt.
The new normal would be bad for other business like the casino as the new normal means we will have to wear mask and must do the social distancing. For now this is the new normal but I think it is only temporary, we will be back to our old normal once the vaccine is ready, that's the only key.
Even if the new normal is happens, I am sure that the "normal" things will be different than before. Maybe we will see a new mask that will design for the social distancing because we are already experiencing with the corona. Sooner or later, the vaccine will be released to help people from the Coronavirus, and we hope that the Coronavirus will leave us forever.
Of course it will never be the same because the new normal is not the old normal and it is the old normal that we like to get back and it's not possible until the vaccine is out. There might be more protective gears for people not to get infected but you'll have to wear that which is most people are not comfortable, but they have no choice, they have to pick between their health and inconvenience.

He also had a similar average this season in his previous season with the Mavericks, the 2016-17 season.
They let him go and then they take it back, so I think Curry will stay with the Mavericks for awhile since his role is not really a starter and he provide good minutes.

I think that is because he proved something to the Dallas Mavericks management.
Some management tend to make errors like this.

IMO, it is not the stats of Seth for me. It is how he moves on that floor whenever there is a call for defense.
That cannot be seen on records but scouts do take note of that.
Keep him, that is all I wish. Make them the new generation of splash brothers.  Grin

You are right, we cannot see his defense on the stats but we who are watching him play, we will see it, I've seen how Seth Played and I like how he does his defense on his opponent, we can trust him and he is a cold blooded shooter as well.

you might be unlucky from that time but im sure you are lucky on other times too or on other stuffs not just on crypto  and besides you are not the only one that bought btc that time but there are many people too  . hope you learn a good lesson with it that we must not buy at a high price because the price can usually dump after that and we wont know if when will the price recover again   . so if you are not patient enough you could end up selling your coins at a low price that leads you to loose and regret later on  . stellar is already good to and should not be converted to ripple imo
Patience will reward us success if we can hold enough in a long period of time.

You definitely has to learn more, study the market its past trend so you'll understand that investing in crypto is not a waste of time, eventually the time that we are all waiting for will come, it doesn't matter if we bought at the peak as for sure, bitcoin will rise again and will make a new ATH, and that is the time we should all be waiting for.
3259  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC breaks 9k, are we on bull run? on: May 05, 2020, 06:42:58 AM
Only time would tell and I like to believe that bitcoin will remain bullish throughout this year.
Bitcoin pumped to $9k and we know based on its trend that once it's bullish, nothing could stop bitcoin easily if its close to its ATH already.

For now, let's remain hopefully and bullish, the world is in global crisis now but crypto does not care, it's making a profitable movement that we all like to see, of course except those who bet on the short.
