381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling? on: February 10, 2024, 01:57:27 PM
And when you call their customer support, they tell you that your account has been frozen for 3 weeks and the reason why they carried out that measure was because they suspected that you were gambling irresponsibly and decided to take that measure so that you can call yourself back to order,....
I would feel furious on that, who are they to judge me, as long as I'm not making trouble on their casino, they should still allow me to gamble and let me manage myself. A gambler would only be called irresponsible when he make an action that could destroy other people's properly or worst hurt them. They don't know me, what if I'm just trying to burn my money because I am having fun, and I could lose as much as I want since I am earning a lot of money.

They (casino) should not cross the line, they have rules, that's the only thing they are focus on implementing it, not "suspecting" someone of being irresponsible.

I got the Wizards on live betting +8.5 @1.95 when the score is 74-76. I love the ML on Wizards but it's a big risk so I just took them on the +8.5.

And I thought that it's a bad bet as the Celtics takes a double digit lead already after I place my bet.

But in the 4th quarter the Wizards comes back, 42-33 but it's not enough for them to win, but at least they close the gap and covered the spread for me.

Great catch. Mine, I had Celtics -6.5 during halftime break, I was thinking it will hit since Celtics had a big 3rd quarter run, but in the 4th quarter they calm down a bit and just allowed the Wizards to came back, resulted to a disappointing loss of my parlay.

My parlay was . Hawks -4.5 + Bucks -20.5 + Celtics -6.5...

So, in the right way, that last sentence  should be, "users who can not access the casinos without the use of VPN are likely inside a restricted area" and not outside it, those  outside a restricted area should easily and effortlessly access the casino, whether they use VPN or not.
There are some people who don't like accessing any casino or sites without making use of a VPN, not because they are in a restricted area, but because they just don't like it.
 
There are also times when I have tried accessing sites from my location, which I'm very sure I'm not restricted or banned from, but whenever I use a VPN, I browse on them freely.
 

If they will do that, at least they should be aware of the risk as getting an account locked due to a violation is not the fault of the gambling site. They have a regulators, and a set of rules coming from them has to be enforce by the gambling sites. It's fine to use VPN but it's not 100% safe IMO, so it would be "Do it on your own Risk".

Maybe before other people take a decision regarding on their like to use VPN for whatever reason they have much better if they ask their representative if they are allowed since I guess nothing wrong to use VPN if you are not in restricted country also the IP/country you use is also not have any issue with them.

But as been said nothing is safe unless they verify it and once they allowed then get word from them that they are VPN friendly then from that they can use it since they have the assurance of casino representative that they are fine with their clients to use that tool.

That's right, at least you can get some evidence (screenshot it) that you are allowed to use a VPN. However, you stil have to verify that on their TOS, there should not be any policy that is contradicting to what you are doing, as that would only put you on a safe situation. VPN exist for a reason, it help us keep our privacy masking our real IP, but it comes with risk on some too, so it has to be properly done to avoid those kinds of risk.

Never think that those who earn lots of merits have gained it in just a short period of time. They’ve worked hard for it since from the beginning and have waited for long before they start receiving merits. Never lost your hope but increase your motivation instead. If you think you’re not good enough, then improve your posting habits and learn from the legendary and reputable posters in the forum.

Reading can do a lot of myth. If you are patient while reading their posts, then you will learn a lot from them also and apply it when you make your own. Increase your knowledge so you that you can also share a lot of reliable facts in the forum.

If you are a disciplined trader in general, you will not worry other things because you know how to be a responsible and a successful trader in the process. The only thing you will focus is to increase and widen your experience in the market so that if every you decide to trade at a unfavorable market condition, you will still end up making a positive outcome.

Trading covers different aspects, be it mentally, emotionally and physically. As long as you are a disciplined one, all good things will easily follow.

So there could be a possibility that some people have any of the above issues but are not necessarily restricted from the casino, so there might not be any problem for them to use the casino with VPN unless the casino is against the use of VPN.
This is fine if a casino will stand on their words... some will use this to the gambler's disadvantage, and will say you broke the TOS, your account will be subject for investigation...
387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another question? Tell me your average amount per bet and your monthly income? on: February 09, 2024, 12:33:50 PM
Specifically for sports betting, my monthly budget is 5-10% of my income, and sometimes I also use income from signatures for gambling. Around $50-$100 is my weekly budget (I always limit it to not exceed $100 for each bet), and if it wins, then next week's sports betting will use the winnings from this week's bet. This means I can save expenses for gambling for the next week.

Some winnings sometimes make me play slot games with a small deposit of only around $10-$20. I still lack confidence in slots until now. So, I only use winnings from sports betting to learn how to play slots. Or perhaps it can't be called learning, but more like testing my luck.
If you will be able to stay discipline as that, you'll likely succeed in sports betting if you have found a method to win. The most important for becoming a successful one is on managing the bankroll effectively, and that requires a lot of discipline. If you could manage a small amount, I'm sure you can also do it with big amount. As long as the size of our bets or total bankroll exposure is only a small percentage of our monthly income, everything should be fine.

Both are risky if you don’t have the necessary knowledge and experience that will make your investment works. Even if you are knowledgeable on your chosen investment but that is your first time to manage it, then the chances to lose is high and inevitable.

However, each type of investment can be learned in time if we have the patience and interest to study the investment. The problem with a lot of people is that they expect immediate profits when in reality, it takes time to see any business grows and prospers.

What are the chances of bitcoin going extinct?
For now, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Bitcoin is still at its peak of being the most secured investment in the crypto market, so the chances to become extinct is still very low and uncertain. However, if one day bitcoin will be replace with another highly potential crypto that has bigger advantage than bitcoin, then most likely we will come to see bitcoin becoming extinct. But that is still too far to happen as we are still excited to see the improvements of bitcoin that will make it more developed and more reliable source of investment.
390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 08, 2024, 11:50:37 AM
Sixers have been struggling. What they created with Joel Embiid has been slowly diminishing.

3 consecutive losses at home via blowout, this team are sure not gonna qualify in the playoffs. Embiid's contribution are just too huge that the Sixers can't afford to lose, unfortunately Embiid hasn't been so healthy in every season he played, so every effort they made to start with a good standing will just be wasted. I'm thinking now if they'll continue to keep Embiid, they can't expect a championship team, and maybe Embiid will be traded in the future.

IMO, Embiid is like the Davis of Pelicans, when got traded, he won a championship because he doesn't have to carry the team by himself.

Well, I am pretty sure that this is not the fault of only one player. Yes, one player not playing as well as he should definitely is going to affect the team a lot. Especially if he is as important as Embiid.

I am honestly also not confident that this team will be able to qualify for the qualifiers. And that is surly going to be a slap in the face for them. Because almost everyone expects them to do so. Or maybe it is just me I don't know. But I actually expected them to qualify for the playoffs.  If they don't it is really going to be a surprise for me at least.

Embiid had a knee surgery, expect that he'll miss the remainder of the season.

NBA MVP and 76ers center Joel Embiid had knee surgery. His injury could affect the US Olympic team

Well, obviously this team will struggle as I haven't remembered in the past that they reach the playoffs without Joel Embiid. And that time, they were stronger as they had Harden on the team, but now there's no other superstar that are on the level of Harden who had a lot of playoffs experience and had played in the NBA Finals. The only one I see that could lead the team is Maxey, but he is still young and lack of experience.
391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rolando Romero-Isaac Cruz to meet on March 30 in Las Vegas. on: February 08, 2024, 11:14:45 AM
Here's the records of these two boxers. Looks like Isaac Cruz has more experience here but what I like about Ronaldo Romero is undefeated, for sure he will defend it.
The odds really look good to bet here, for the odds, I will bet small with Rolando Romero here.
Stance and height are for Rolando Romero.

I don't know mate if you have followed boxing, but Rolly Romero is not undefeated, both of this boxers have lost to Tank Davis. Here is the video of Tank Davis knocking out Romero, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De4Q32fiUxQ&t=47s.

Isaac Cruz on the other hand, go full distance, but Tank won unanimously, 116-112 115-113, 115-113. And later we found out that Tank injured his hand and said that Cruz head cause that injury. Goodluck to your bet if ever, Rolly is the underdog in this fight so that is a attractive bet already.

Rolly Romero needs to improve his boxing skills to win the fight since Isaac Cruz isn't a very technical fighter, he just like to attack and pressure his opponent, so if Romero gets tired, that will be his end in the fight. Tank Davis was just to technical the reason why he won the fight, but he could not knock out Cruz because he has some solid chin and Tank Davis knows if he gets careless, he might make a mistake and will lose.

I didn't actually know that he was injured during the fight, but if that was true, then I'm impressed with how he handles that injury that he was still able to grab a victory.

Ignore this kind of concept. You know your investment well and you know exactly what coin will bring you huge profits so focus on it and don’t mind people like him. Bitcoin is the most profitable investment in the crypto market and the most secured one, so if you want to take the risk, just stick to bitcoin. At the end of the day, if ever you get wrong with your decision making, at least you learn and there’s always another chance to invest again.

Warriors might trade Wiggins.

Warriors Should Move Andrew Wiggins Before NBA Trade Deadline amid Latest Rumors

Is it good for the Warriors or not? Wiggins has been part of the team that won a championship against the Celtics, and he was one of the main reason why they won because he played hard but just he can't be consistent all the time. Currently, the Warriors standing does not guarantee them a playoff spot, if Wiggins will be traded, will their chances to be in the playoffs will improve?

Who they should trade is Klay. Wiggins has been bad before but then suddenly had a huge upswing, maybe that can happen again.  He is just 28 and at the pick of his physical abilities.
Klay on the other hand, also because of all the injuries, is on a strong decline. Also he doesn't really show commitment to the team be declining a more than fair extension offer, seeking a max deal.  Grin
Sure he did a lot for the franchise but why would they give him a deal he doesn't deserve.

The only thing speaking for a AW deal is contracts. Klay's is running out (finally) but Wiggins just started his new 4 year deal for a "moderate" 109 million. Compared to Klay's silly deal that's a bargain. He earns 43 mil this season. Remember, he played 101 games in 3 years earning 105 million in these 3 season. That's like 1 million per game.  Roll Eyes And now he is declining 48 mil for 2 years. Ungrateful.

I don't know if it's a wise idea to put Klay on the trading block. Maybe no teams will deal with the Warriors if that is the case, and the Warriors management also value the contribution of Klay because before his production decline, Klay is a big part of the Warriors championship run, that's why they still want him to sign with the team but a lower contract. Maybe they will just wait until the contract is over and see if Klay will choose to stay or not.

However, for Wiggins, there will be a lot of team that will be interested with him since he is still the same and has already won a championship, it would be easier for the Warriors to get a possible star player caliber as well that they could use to improve their record after the trade.

If you have sufficient funds that you can afford to lose, just buy now so you can also have the chance to reap some decent profits when bull run comes. Nevertheless, if you stay hesitant and keep thinking that the price isn’t a good buy, you will never have the chance to enter the market and benefit in the future. It’s now or never, so you always chose to make a wise decision every time.
396  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: As a trader never settle for less on: February 06, 2024, 09:59:42 PM
Definitely not. Traders regardless of its status, will always want the best and reasonable trading results, because that’s certainly his goal to maximize his profits. So never trade just to prove to others that you’re good and capable about trading, but always be the most reliable and successful trader you can be.

However, there are really times in a life of a trader wherein you will get upset because of some inevitable losses but that’s part of trading, and it will certainly happen no matter how good or expert you are in trading. But never get easily discouraged and decides to quit, but always be the best version of a trader you can be, that way you can  always make you trading career successful and profitable in time.
397  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What's the view of an average citizen About crypto currencies on: February 04, 2024, 10:59:06 PM
Average citizens do not dwell much on cryptocurrency or most likely bitcoin knowing it’s still not completely accepted by the government, which means it’s under observation by the government itself. And regardless if the price of bitcoin will surge high or resort into an instant decline, that will not leave an impact to these average citizens because at the end of the day, all they think is that bitcoin is nothing but a big scam.

However, not all average citizens have that mindset. There are also few who are open to bitcoin success in the future. But since these citizens are still following what the government commands them, it’s still hard for them to submit theirselves into bitcoin.

As per sportsbet, SMB is -1.5, but for Duelbets it's -3. So since I'm backing the Magnolia Hotspots here which is the underdog in the series, I'll choose the sportsbook with a better handicap for Magnolia, and that is duelbets. I'm also thinking of betting on the moneyline during live, if SMB will start strong and Mangolia will have x3, that's an automatic grab for me.

I hope you didn't push that through as it was a one sided beat down again. It was just like a replay of what happen in game 1 but Magnolia were not able to have their run in the 4th quarter. I smell a sweep in this series, as long as Magnolia could not defend the outside shooting of SMB, they have no chance of winning as they can't hit at outside shot, they are too unselfish that sometimes would result to turnover since no one would want to take a shot.

The game has just ended, SMB dominate with a 24 points victory, Final score 85-109.

Good luck in game 3. Stay with SMB!

I was trying to find the betting odds of this fight since it's not yet included in the OP but I could not find one.

I landed on this website, https://box.live/boxing-betting/bivol-vs-beterbiev-odds/.. .and it says that the chances of winning is 50/50. This is good, it's a strong competition between these two warriors, but I will vote for Bivol to win as I was more familiar with him since he beaten Canelo which is a strong and a very popular champion.

I am also not expecting that this fight will be a long one, so my vote goes to Bivol  winning a KO.
