This is a sad news, I know of Sportbet. If English Premier League clubs do not allowed betting sites to endorse them again, it may slightly affect the betting site to see increasing new customers, but there should be other ways they can advertise their products like livescores sites and many others.

According to the news, if 14 clubs can support the ban, that it would be adopted immediately. Top clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are not sponsoring any gambling site, such clubs may be in support of this.

Probably because people wish the government to regulate cryptocurrencies would have been the reason there are rumours that the US government want to ban cryptography/encryption but that is not going to happen. If it is banned, it means no cryptocurrencies  that would be created in US again, which is not possible. Regulating altcoins is different from banning encryption.

He would not be able to open both long and short position if the exchange does not allow that.

On the exchanges that I have used before:

On Binance, you can open long position and later open short position without closing the long position and vice versa if you use hedge mode, but you can not with one-way mode.

On OKX, you can use long/short position to do that also, but if changed to net mode, it is the same as one-way mode on Binance  and you will not be able to do that.

But the fault is from the script not the exchange.

I do not know much about other type of trading than trading on centralized exchanges, not arbitrage trading but spot trading and trading derivatives like USD-M perpetual for BTC. All I have known about trading is that it is very risky, it may not be gambling, but if i should be sincere, I consider it as gambling, especially for the newbies. Regardless of the the type of trading you are into, always know that trading is risky, do not use more than the amount you can not afford to lose, beginners should even use less than the amount they can afford to lose.

Yes.

As long as he is able to access Internet and his phone, as long as there are gambling sites that he can assess. Remember he can even still be able to access the gambling site he is using in his former environment even if he has changed his environment. So all he needs to gamble can be with him in just one room, so nothing changed.

That is just an issue with the bot that you are using, I have opened as many as possible long or short position on Binance countless number of times and no issue or problem of sort encountered. I am not a bot trader, I trade manually though. Also the bot is from you, not Binance.

I opened a short position with BTC 1x leverage on OKX like three days ago, bitcoin was around $20275 on the derivative market (which supposed to be the mark price) that time, when I opened the short (sell) position, I was surprised that the entry price was $20070. I was surprised and that could affect my trading because with $200 different in price down, I would have gained and close the position opened. I did not have any other option than to increase the leverage to 3x in order to let the price I will start making profit closer, it was closer though. I checked the history of position opened but I still noticed the price the 3x position was filled was just like what happened when I opened 1x. It was worrying.

It has not happened to me before until three days ago. What could have cuase it?

What did you mean by you have not close your position? Using leverage to hold? If you are not using leverage, it is secure to move your coins to a noncustododial wallet. If using leverage, know that the risks are higher than it no leverage is used.

Dollar cost average can help instead off buying all at ones. If you are losing 45% already, it will be better not to panic and sell, continue holding if you can do this for long term.

Be expecting a slight bull and bear market in 2023 but be expecting a massive bull market in 2024. You have said it already, no one knows when the next massive bull market will begin, we are only predicting based on analyses of past price volatility but which may be accurate because bitcoin has never failed in long term bull prediction before.

Gambling can be genetic and passed on to offspring, but I have noticed that females are not addicted as male when it comes to gambling and that gives me doubt about it, or maybe that is how it is in my region, men are most into gambling. Or maybe the gene is more concentrated in men than women.

No one can blame addicts, but any bad deeds done by them can be punished. The more fact we need is that addiction is not good, it can lead to a kind of life someone do not wish for himself, the reason we should use just the amount of money we can afford to lose and nothing more than that.

Which exchange are you using to trade?

Leverage trading makes it possible to use a lower amount below minimum trading amount to trade once the amount you leverage to exceed the minimum trading amount.

This may be different from exchange to exchange, but this is how it works on all the exchanges I have used and that I am currently using.

We do not even know if the price by the end of this year will be lesser than $15000, bear market can last like that of 2018 that started in January and lasted long all through the year, that is just it. I understand that it is a buying zone, because people that buy now and hold for like 3 years will make significant profit even if the price of bitcoin still decreases further this time. I agree with this.

Gambling sites are not only based on one type of gambling, even on a casino sites I have known that have just started to provide gambling services to users, they certainly start with more options and alternative to slot are available and slot can be included, they are just mixed together for users to choose their choice. To look for only slot gambling site, I think that would be hard and not necessary, people will just go for the one they want to play, casino users even prefer the gambling sites they are using to have variety of options, that is why they will have more customers as one do not affect the other.

I do not quite understand the kind of dirty games in multi-level marketing, can you explain about that. In multi-level marketing, it is not like ponzi or pyramidal scheme which I mentioned above, those hyip, ponzi, pyramidal and other promising high yield return on investment schemes are not the same as multi-level marketing. If comparing multi-level marketing, that means you only just want to compare legit business, normally all business are risky. But if talking about dirty games, that means it should be a ponzi, pyramidal scheme or other hyip, do not get it confused.

Business have risks, but gambling is far riskier than multi-level marketing if the multi-level marketing is legit. Even gambling is not related to business unless you are the owner the gambling platform.

Yes, OP was talking about Localbitcoins which is what I also meant, it's a mistake. Thanks.

I was thinking Localcryptos is a decentralized exchange, but out of all decentralized exchanges, only Bisq is most decentralized, that is true. I will look into localcryptos ToS and check if KYC can be requested for, if so, it means it is not decentralized but working like instant exchanges, I find this new and I will look into it.

What are you bringing up? Multi-level marketing is totally different from gambling. Some organizations legitimately use Multi-level marketing to sell a product, it is also different from pyramid scheme because in pyramidal scheme, no real product is sold. In gambling, you can use what you can afford to lose to gamble, mind yourself not to get addicted also.

Gambling is restricted in some countries and the person may ptefer to gamble on a no KYC casino. Gambling is not restricted in my country and I am not bothered and I do not avoid KYC on trustworthy casinos. KYC also even make me feel secure about my money on a casino than not having any documents to prove that I am the owner of the gambling account.

But some gamblers can be afraid of their KYC documents not to be sold to third party which is a valid reason.

No one is against swing trading, but it has to be learned and know how to avoid or minimize losses but maximize profit. I did not against swing trading, what my advice was about is that it is not good to hold fiat too long as described in the OP if you want to maximize profit. Multiple swing trading is not bad in 3 months, but just one swing trade in over 3 months or longer is what I am talking about, no one againsts swing trade here. The problem will be during bull market, the strategy will not help.

Bisq, localcryptos, hodlhodl and some exchanges are decentralized and they are bitcoin decentralized exchanges where you can exchange some altcoins to bitcoin, no kyc required. But OP is talking about Localbitcoins, it is a KYC P2P exchange and not decentralized, it is just like Paxful or Binance p2p, the reason I mentioned both instead.

I just know that it would be very costly and may not worth it, the cost is even beyond just lawyer.
