Couldn't agree more, and been brought up countless times in this forum about how most "traders" are actually gamblers. And the truth is, most traders fail at one or two of those points, so start out doing the right things, but after a while become impatient, or greedy, and then switch into gambler mode. Could be interesting maybe to see if any gambler eventually turned trader!

Emotional point I think tough to overcome though, and that doesn't necessarily turn you into a gambler. Loads of wall street regular traders get emotional in black swan events.

What a game Saints! All the reports say they deserved to win and they were after all the least favorite team but they never stopped attacking and Spurs paid the price.

I'd like to thank Steve and Sportsbet. They have sent me these two very nice jerseys + 1.5mbtc free bet for finishing the AFCON pool at the 1st position. The jerseys have reached my home one day after Steve got my address.

Well done to you again! I finished very badly, I blame Algeria mainly as that was the team I picked and they did so badly I wonder what's the point of having so many global stars in their team when they played as if they could easily win.

Now, since the pandemic in 2020, we have been witnessing another bailout of banks. In this bailout, it happens globally, not only in the US.

The bailouts started a long time ago. Here in Asia before 2000s already a lot of banks were closed down, some after existing over 100 years. And others the corrupt governments bailed out. Then it happened in the US as you said giving birth to Bitcoin. I have a feeling compared to those, the banks and governments feel this time is not so bad. So we have to deal with another few decades of financial corruption. Bitcoin is a shining light but not yet is the time for it to come.

You can find a simple "table" rule for Blackjack here: https://blackjackdoc.com/blackjack-cheatsheet.htm
I would not really heed to teachings of other people as something that should be determining how you want to play. Obviously if you hit 20 and ask for another card then it is a bit weird, but at the same time if it is your decision and you want to do that then do that. That is what I have suggested to people at all times, and not just about blackjack neither it could be poker or it could be sportsbetting or it could be any casino game.

If you want to play different than any other person than you should do that, gambling supposed to be fun and if you just follow what other people are telling you then you might as well use a bot and not gamble yourself. Doesn't mean you shouldn't learn the "right" way, but you can choose to ignore it.

Man, guys like you.

This isn't about the teachings of other people, this is the cheat sheet, using odds and probability to determine the best probability to win. Which I can tell you is 100% more fun and enjoyable than setting yourself up to lose.

In case you never gambled before (it sounds like you never), Blackjack is famous for being the lowest edge game in casinos, BUT only if you follow the right "rules" of what to do with each hand, depending on the rules of the table and the dealer's up hand.

Hitting on 20 is not just "a bit weird". If it makes payout x100, sure even I would do that. But to risk a high chance of busting to win the same stakes that you already have a high chance of hitting? Madness. If you play live tables, people get pissed.

Of course, since your comment is weird itself, I assume you've never gambled anything significant on a Blackjack hand of 20.

I don't search for new coins anymore, since I don't buy or "invest" anymore.

I do still read up from time to time about interesting projects for sure, but as soon as it has something to do with buying, I'm no longer interested.

I like those projects where you can talk and build, and just do stuff for fun. And their tokens aren't even a big part of it. I find them usually by chance, by some interview somewhere or a great article they wrote. Anything else you find is paid efforts, so not worth it.

Why not ask those campaigns paying out in Bitcoin like for signature campaigns? They just bypass all those wallet problems and instead just have a loose agreement where you can consider the participants as freelancers.

People used to do it all the time with cash and Paypal, Bitcoin makes it even easier as here's no approval process for payments. Pay and it's paid.

The exact opposite on who I saw winning the matches today with New Castle winning over Everton and West Ham beating Watford.
For some reason I did see a Manchester United draw. Because just when you see them starting to get their team on a good run, they find a way to throw it all away. Can't be blaming the coach all the time so Ralf Rangnick wasn't the target the fans were looking at to this match.

I also never expected Newcastle to win against Everton,I thought maximum a draw would have been the best result for them but yet they got what it took to win the game.For me at least I got a correct score on West Ham which saved my day yesterday night and I also never expected Manchester United to draw against a team which in the latest games has a ton of lost games.Probably they took it easily after scoring the goal and wanted to keep the result but anytime you behave like this you get punished in the end,you need to attack to score more goals and secure the victory.

About half of us predicted this and Betwrong even got it exact!

Newcastle was the favorite though. 2.1 odds compared to Everton who was 2.8 or something like this? Which made sense if you looked at the new buys from January, which paid off immediately for Newcastle and yet not so much for Everton. I also only read now from match report that Donny de Beek moved there from Manchester United!

194.9 mbtc in #10 spot in daily wager competition and still 2.5 hours to go! $8000 in 21 hours and that's just the 10th place guy, what a show!

Man, this place is really heating up every time. Gone are the days when I felt I could challenge, but I guess this is just a signal to me to build up my balance very slowly and then when there's enough to maybe reach 200 mbtc with 10x wager, that's when I can go test the waters again.

Awesome stuff, players!
3591  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The bull is back? on: February 08, 2022, 01:08:01 PM
nothing like "bulls" or "bears" in Crypto. Just market makers swaying price action in the way it will profit them most. and swaying it to liquidate the greatest number of traders serves no profit purpose. It would be a strictly emotional/spiteful action.

Oh there are bulls and bears in crypto trust me. Market makers or takers can play both roles. If I'm a bear, for example, I'd come in and place sell orders all over the place as soon as I can. Buy up every available coin and place them all on sell orderbook.

And bears do this at times. Just like bulls can also just take all the top prices off the orders no matter how high it goes.

Never imagined Adama Traore getting plaudits but happy if he continues in this form.
looks like Xavi wants to integrate the well-known Barca dna with the more physical and fast-paced style of football we see in other leagues.

Back in the old days (just 10years ago lol), it was all about tiki-taka and a slower-tempo football and just having a bunch world-class skilled playmakers playing together up front (Xavi, Messi, Busquets, Iniesta, Fabregas), someone like Adama traore wouldn't would fit that style of play (it's literally the reason the club let him go a few years ago), but now it seems like Xavi realized they needed to adapt to the new ways and try something new, hell, they even have the typical tall guy to throw a bunch of crosses to like Luuk de jong (not a Xavi signing but still). It's very refreshing to see, ngl

It could be a really good idea too. Pep's tiki taka cannot really be implemented if the entire team isn't on the same level or the same capability, but if you keep the passing and patience surrounding the physicality of someone like Adama, it could really work, especially because La Liga doesn't really have the means to cope with this.

Refreshing true.

I want to learn a lot about the game of blackjack where playing cards with an existing pair, but I don't really understand with card pairs having a high or low win rate, where can I read for the perfect card pair? I'm bored with the dice game

You can find a simple "table" rule for Blackjack here: https://blackjackdoc.com/blackjack-cheatsheet.htm

This is external I am only sharing, you can find plenty of other similar "cheat sheets". Be wary you have to account for a lot of things like "dealer stands on 16/17" or BJ payout or even number of decks used. But in general you can use this to help you decide what to do on splits.

As you can see, never split pair of 5 or 10

So it seems they're not going to learn lessons from China. First you ask people to come and use your power, offer them cheap rates etc Then you ask them to pay more just because your industry is making more money?

If the tax laws already ask for more contributions from higher income bracket why should they need to target crypto?

Another Russian "invasion"?
3596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 07, 2022, 02:28:40 PM
In 1st half today I felt like watching old good Barca. Dani Alves bring back these good vibes. But that red card was stupid and not needed at all. Anyway, after it Atletico failed to make something dangerous. Also, I liked how Adama played today.
It's good point about Atletico defence - they conceded 13 goals in 5 recent games. It's 2.6 goals per game in average. performance like bottom table team.

Really really makes me wish I could stay up and watch. Replays are nice but all the fun is gone when you know what happened already from the reports. Just makes me really happy to read and hear about Barca being old Barca, so this serves to reinstate the feelings from the previous games that things were looking better.

Red cards has been a problem for 2 seasons already I felt, like we were playing with pressure and let it get to us. But like Trofo says, I prefer heart than no heart. This is why Real played Ramos every time no matter the sending offs. But still, we need a balance. A whole team of hotheads is also just like harakiri football.

Never imagined Adama Traore getting plaudits but happy if he continues in this form.

Yes, nice win Betwrong, you really have a knack for these wins I keep an eye on you now Wink

Nice win Betwrong, this is not the first time you hit nice multipliers here  Cool
You must send some of your good luck this way. I am going through a dry spell at the moment. LFC_Bitcoin needs to drink champagne  Grin Cheesy

Don't worry I have a feeling LFC will be spraying champagne at least once this season. And since Barca won't be, I will throw all of my support to Liverpool, Sportsbet, and Bitcasino to be celebrating big wins for them and their partners in a few months. Who knows, in 20 days you will already be popping the bubbles if you know what I mean Wink

Crazy to see people expect to buy a shitcoin and then hope it all goes up and makes them happy. If only life was this easy.

It went up to $40 right? And this was all during the time when IDO and Defi staking crap were big, plenty of projects folded and rugpulled and still people bought it.

Then you have the famous burn mechanism to say it would make it more scarce. Hasn't worked has it?

Hello Futuur , any chance of you adding new currencies like NFT tokens? sorry to ask because i have hold some of them and don't wanna convert to other coins but instead love to use for predictions.

Actually, you've just mentioned the main thing I've always seen what NFTs should be used for! Say if I wanted to pawn off my watch or some jewelry, and which is what people back home do a lot anyway, there's only a way now to visit a pawnshop, get the cash, keep the receipt, and then buy crypto.

But I have to go back within 3 months, which doesn't let me hodl and forces me to speculate short term.

NFT used like this would be perfect use case, Futuur could work with those "NFT loan" platform to integrate and show people NFTs aren't just for hodling.

Although Real Madrid beat Granada 1-0, they had a hard time scoring goals. Granada is one of the weakest defense teams in La Liga. If it is difficult to score against them, it is easy to assume that the Real Madrid forward was not strong in this match. Real Madrid has made a total of 24 shots. Even after making so many shots, they managed to score only one goal. So I would say Isco, Rodrygo and Asensio are not experienced enough yet. After Benzema's retirement, Real Madrid will need an experienced striker.

So it would seem yes, as right now the only thing I'm annoyed at with Real Madrid is that they didn't take the lead before half time. Just made a bet on them but with other requirements, met the yellow card and corner count, and even under 2.5 goals but I thought they would take the lead early lol

Benzema injured and they lost Copa, and almost couldn't win this one. But just wait, they already got plans for some big guns. We'll see.
