3401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why most of us are losing money in sports betting? on: November 13, 2020, 10:48:18 AM
It seems that almost all gamblers have experienced losing money in sports betting, because indeed for sports betting requires luck to win.
So no matter how good your knowledge of sports is, it still cannot guarantee success in sports betting. Experience and knowledge in sports
betting only minimizes our loss, but it does not prevent us from avoiding losses. So no effective way has been found to avoid losing in sports
betting. Most importantly, the number of victories we have must be more than the number of defeats we experience. And if we have managed
to get profit from sports betting, stop immediately, if it continues will suffer defeat in the end.

Even though in sport betting many people and gamblers say that it is 75% skill and 25% luck that luck factor together with the referee who always impact a game a certain away determines how the game will end and that is why most of us lose money in sport betting.

I don't mind that kind of principle actually, no way I would just rely on luck, i will go with 99% skills and 1% luck, as that is I believe the recipe for success, when you have a big percentage of luck, well, you will really just gambling and most likely you will just lose in the long run.

Altcoins market is always struggling, I'm not seeing it will be more in trouble once bitcoin continues to rise, I think it will become a wake up call for altcoins to have their own run which we called an altcoins season.

Remember, it happened before when bitcoin achieved it's ATH, so who knows if history will repeat itself.
3403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Multi bets vs single bets on: November 12, 2020, 01:04:01 PM
I would be rather curious to know how you guys bet and how you make use of singles. Do you really believe in minimizing risk when placing single bets? It's like going all-in, you basically flip a coin, either you win or you lose. If you like that, keep on playing. That's not for me. Wink

The risk is always there, you are right on that, but after following this thread for some time, I've come to the conclusion that multi bets are riskier than single ones. And it's not like, the more risky your bet, the higher multiplier you get, no. You are more likely to win a single bet with 1.9 odds, than a multi bet of 3 that gives you the same outcome odds. And the main reason for that is that you can't research as thoroughly about 3 events, as you can about 1 event.
Man, betting is not like science. The amount of effort you put into researching what the possible outcome of an event could be will never be enough. There are always unexpected circumstances that will blow away your conclusions. Really anything can happen that you couldn't foresee. And, also, how much money do you bet @1.90? Again, better to flip a coin.
Every pick we make is coming from our conclusion based on our research, there's no guarantee to win but at least we always try our best to win. Every gambler has our own style of analyzing the game, but the only thing that would measure our success is our gambling record, if we boost we are a winner, we should back that up with proof.

No one can talk about the right security measures when it comes to betting there are risks but it requires sufficient knowledge and experience no one can tell when the game will turn so you have to start with a small amount of capital. The site must be well monitored before joining without making any bets if you have any experience in the world of online gambling you can choose any type of bonus based on your own betting style and preferences.

Looking for a site is just an easy task for anyone who has knowledge since it's a basic requirement.

The only difficult thing is to find consistency in winning which most of us does not achieve, therefore we should aim this and in order to be safe, we need to ensure that we go with our plan and that includes betting with limitations and knowing when to stop in any situation.
well, what you explain is very reasonable and I strongly agree because at some gambling places there is no guarantee whatsoever when you have gambled everything can be affected and it doesn't feel like you have spent a lot of money used for gambling capital. therefore it is necessary to remain aware and not be affected by the conditions at the gambling venue.

Being a gambler, I'm sure people will understand how it feels when you lose control in the game, most likely it will result to a bad loss because you are getting heated and you can't focus anymore, and you'll begin chasing loses until you end up losing your entire bankroll.

Been in that situation many times in my life, so I know the feeling.  Cheesy

and it is very likely that the main goal of this man is just for fame and maybe to be recorded in history..

No, I wouldn't believe on that, pulling the trigger for a $5 million bet is not easy, one should be fully convince that his pick will win, and that is his main goal which is to win, getting listed in the history is just another thing, he maybe even not aware on that.
3406  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Defi project like game pump and dump on: November 11, 2020, 10:31:32 PM
What do you think of defi projects, most of them are only good for the short term.To make a big profit, we must enter at the right moment, if we are wrong we will lose very deeply.

If that's their classification then we can compare them to Ponzi scheme, this is how Ponzi scheme works, you have to enter at the right time, if you failed to do so, you will end up losing it's an early bird thing, the early bird catches the early worms, but unfortunately on this kind of project, you never know when the scheme will end it could be the day after you invest or week.

Ponzi are automatic scam while De-Fi projects are not, at least some of them are not scam, the pump and dump situation was only brought by the hype of the De-Fi projects, but it will be stable overtime IMO.
3407  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO, IEO! Which one do you want to return again? on: November 11, 2020, 10:20:34 PM
if I have to choose then I will choose IEO but it is done in large eexchange, why do I choose IEO? because it is safer in investment, ICO is too many scammers and bear in mind that ICO will not be as beautiful as 2017

The question is when they return, if ICO would return in a different way, the better ICO then I guess ICO would still be better.

IEO is no doubt better than IEO due to the fact that it's done in exchanges where exchanges doing their part to evaluate the IEO project they'll accept, so the risk is lesser but the market is already big, more projects are always welcome so we can choose a quality projects, which some projects although quality failed to succeed since they lack budget to get listed in big exchanges.
3408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Defi project like game pump and dump on: November 11, 2020, 12:24:56 PM
I agree, defi is like a casino game, someone is lucky and someone is not, those who came first in the project win, and those who came before the price fell lose.

We should be aware with that, it does normally happen when it was popular due to the word "HYPE".

The risk is high, but the reward is also high if you succeed, so just play the game if you want.
IMO, investing in a more established project is still more advisable, but it's really up to investors if they want to take this high risk investments.

Every platform has its hype, it's just that it's time for DeFi hypes now.

Nothing's gonna change with those opinions but nevertheless, nba will stay with positive or negative opinion.

No big sports league that has not received any negative opinion from the people, we have millions or billions of watchers and some of that has a kind of different mind, trying to spot the abnormalities of the game and make a conspiracy theory, it will never grow old my friend, in the next generation we will still see a lot of content about rigged games but the league will still continue.
3411  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ICO, IEO! Which one do you want to return again? on: November 11, 2020, 10:48:03 AM
Return, was IEO already gone?

If I would choose, of course I would like to see ICO but a more regulated one because with ICO, there's no limitation of projects created in the market, unlike IEO where mostly the exchange dictate the future of the project, which is not good because it would also limit the creation of projects as investors will just likely invest on projects that has IEO in big exchanges, which not every project can afford to get listed.
3412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler living in England makes a $5M bet on Trump on: November 09, 2020, 11:25:26 PM
Or maybe he had bet another few bets for Joe Biden to hedge with better courses.. So as you say looking only at a dry facts is not enought to judge about whole situation

Not enough time to hedge, and Biden when he was leading only had a betting odds of 1.20 or 1.10, if I'm with Trump who knows from the very beginning that I bet on the underdog, I would not hedge anymore as it's not a good idea to spend more money just to get back a little amount and still resulted with a big loss.

Snoop Dogg just said that Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr. is the biggest fight of the year.
They may not be in their prime time, but everyone is talking about them, and they are taking this fight seriously.
The reason for the hyped interest even at their advanced age is because Mike Tyson and Roy Jones Junior were the idols of many of that generations and everyone tried to imitate them in one way shape or form and they dominated the world of boxing and everyone was in awe of their performances and now we have a video game scenario, two boxers who competed in different weight class but elite legendary fighters facing each other and that is the interest you will get and it will be a sell out PPV just to see both compete.

True, but it was more on Tyson who bring this fight into popularity since he was the more popular and not everyone know Roy Jones Jr., but if you ask people about Mike Tyson, they know about him even in the 3rd world country.

Somehow it's still the chemistry that needed in order to make a better team, if the deal will proceed it's also needs for the players to
adjust up from one another.

If harden being paired to Embiid and they both shared the ball properly the threat of both inside and outside are very dangerous for
the opposing team.

Knowing how good the percentages of this two stars, but again, it's going to depends from how
they'll blend together and how their supporting teammates will paly along with them.

When it comes to chemistry then it will surely be needed of some time which is usual specially when new players is blended up with the team with its old players.

I dont see any problem for Harden to go with Sixers and being paired with Embid which it would really be a good duo i can say.



Chemistry is what they are going to build when 2 superstars are playing in one team, Embiid had some chemistry problem with Ben Simmons therefore one of them should go, and it should be Simmons for sure as Embiid is more valuable than him.


Quote
For Rockets i dont see for this thing to be a good one and they will surely be crippled on losing one of their best players.

We will never know, maybe at the start they will, but once they were able to rebuild their team, in time they will surely improve.
3415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Manny Pacquiao vs. Conor McGregor on: November 06, 2020, 01:32:51 PM
Mayweather his right, the idea was originated by him so he got the people to interest the fight, and people who have already watch the Mayweather vs Conor fight might not be interested in this fight as they have already seen what's going to happen.

Conor will just be a punching bag for this legendary fighters, maybe if Manny will fight him, he will just play him so the game would last but Conor does not really have a chance here.
yeah I agree, Conor is not being know for being a boxer but I'm mma, I think the opponent that has more experience and well trained in this particular sports, these sports has a lot of common but the thing is boxing is different in throwing punches I mean forgive me guys if I am saying a wrong thing but in boxing it is continuous punches in mma they can make punches but not consistently and they can use legs, thigh, side kick etc. I am in favor of course to the boxer rather than Conor.
Conor has no win on his professional boxing, but he get big fights due to this popularity, if I'm not mistaken, he first fight was only Mayweather, the best in boxing in his time and now he likes to face Manny. Look, he has no intention to win, all he will do in the ring is just to survive and avoid not getting hurt, then he will enjoy the big reward.

You may have a point on that mate, just like what happened to timothy bradley if you remember, where Bradley's did only was avoid Manny's
attack until the last round round ended up, so this will possible to happen again via Conor, it could also be that Conor is only after for popularity to connect His name to those boxer who are popular in boxing career only, am I right?

Honestly, Conor here is not a boxer, he only fight to get easy money, can't compare it with Bradley or any boxer which has a chance of beating Pacquiao, this one is going to be a one sided beat down if Pacquiao will take this seriously, Conor's career could be affected if he will allow himself to be seriously injured in this fight like what happen to Margarito.

Here's the thing, if Manny can beat a legit boxer easily, so Conor is just a piece of cake, just to be frank, no offense intended.

Today the ETH began its flight. I can't wait for the full launch of Network 2.0 anymore. It will be a breakthrough.

They are clever, they are making the launch at the right timing when the market is bullish, I can already sense that once bitcoin will continue it's bullish run, ETH would eventually follow to the moon.
3417  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Good news for ETH on: November 06, 2020, 12:09:26 PM
They are not the only bank who are in partner with the Ethereum, there's some bank I know but a small bank though.
"The Reserve Bank of Australia" is a huge bank, so it's a huge success for Ethereum, and I can expect that more and more bank will follow with this news.

More banks will used the Ethereum network will give more confident to other bank as well, bank going blockchain is a big success not only in Ethereum but in the entire crypto space.
3418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know what bankroll management is in sports betting? on: November 06, 2020, 11:58:34 AM
It was exciting to feel that moment, but if we lose, only regret that we will felt.

This kind of feeling should be eliminated because it will affect your future decision.
When you put emotion in gambling, you'll never be consistent in the long run as eventually you will lose your focus.

Believe me, I've been there.

I do support a team but I don't just let my emotion run free.

It is true that you are supporting a team but that doesn't mean that you can risk your money with them without doing any analysis or anything that could increase your chances of winning. We are talking about your money here, so you don't need to always just go with that team always, you need to use your head first before your heart as they said it.

That's good to hear, your emotion is the one killing our plan, every gambler who knows how to analyze games makes his own analysis before putting his bet, he only got some trouble if he got caught up with his emotion while in the middle of the session. Maybe we can start trying on our own experiment, what we do is to gamble consistently and learn how and when to stop when we are in winning or losing situation.
3419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Indian boy committed suicide after losing money by Betting in IPL on: November 06, 2020, 10:42:30 AM
This is one of the examples of having to play high risk, high reward games.
Gambling by general definition is already called a high risk game, hence you'll get high reward in return.


This should be one of the ultimate example to not bet money, you can't afford to lose. Betting high amount, once started will only lead to many mistakes because you'll start to tilt and loss more money than win. That's why, you need discipline to not chase loses if in a lose streak.
Exactly, it will create an addiction since not every gambler can afford to lose what they are betting and are good in accepting defeat.
sometimes, a gambler thinks he is invincible so he keep betting and would not give up until he recovers his loses, which is wrong as we see in this example.
If they like to win instantly and recover their loses instantly, that's a wrong mentality, made it more risky.
3420  Economy / Economics / Re: Not enough Corona Virus Vaccine until 2024, at earliest on: November 06, 2020, 10:07:53 AM
Even if there is a vaccine by 2022 or 2023, the virus will certainly have changed, so the vaccine will no longer be correct, just as flu viruses change every year. In Norway, there have recently been the first reports that a new strain of the virus has been discovered, which is said to be less deadly but even more infectious. We will be dealing with this virus for years to come. Thanks to the Chinese, who missed this epedemic for many weeks and did not inform the world. Otherwise others could have intervened much earlier.
We can't blame anyone here because it will not end, they themselves also have suffered against the virus, so maybe let's just hope and pray that those who are task to find the vaccine will make it available soon. Until now we still can't figure out how to kill this virus, it seems like we are just living with the fear that one day we might get infected and we can't last long in that situation, we demand our normal life to be back so our struggle will be solve.

Some sources said China already have the vaccine and they just keep it their own, but that are just speculations, it's not proven.
Those are just conspiracies but basing of that no. of infected hadnt increased then i cant blame off people not to think that they are having indeed some cure or somewhat that do get rid of the virus.
Its just impossible that there would be no numbers that will be added up since theres still no cure and the virus is highly contagious.As in talks for the vaccine then its understandable
that pharmaceutical companies would really be giving out their best to find the cure or vaccine since once they would able to hit it up then that means a multi billion profits in the making.
So its just normal for them to hasten up but for sure it will still takes time for us to get the final cure.
If greediness or the interest of money is what they value over the health of the people, this is what will happen, we need to wait until the demand will increase which is at the expense of people getting ill and some have died before they will release the virus.

if there's a conspiracy between the government and private institution, there's no way we have a fight in here.
