401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another question? Tell me your average amount per bet and your monthly income? on: February 11, 2024, 06:13:41 AM
Hello gamblers, this is a kind of survey aimed at getting to know my fellow gamblers better, particularly in the context of sports betting. I would like to know your average bet amount and your monthly income.

You don't need to provide exact figures; an estimate would suffice. Through this discussion, we can assess whether we are being too aggressive in our gambling habits or if we are playing it safe with our bets.

My average bet was around 10$-20$ which is actually not that high on just a normal day I never really do high bets since there are combo bets that I do to aim for a higher amount of return, for sure there was a lower chance of winning something like this but 10$-20$ bet wasn't really going to be a big deal even if I lose. Usually with a limit of around 100$ depending on when I'm winning or losing the bets but if I'm on a losing streak I usually just stop on the 3rd one. I dont really have a track of my monthly income, If you mean my monthly income on a full-time job that is around 400$ which is not that great but it is actually not that great of a country when it comes to salary If you mean the income on gambling I guess it could easily be around 0$-600$ depending on how lucky I am, but to be honest there is a really low chance of winning more than 200$. I mean personally you usually lose on bets and I probably lose more than win but when I win that is mostly where I recover the lost bets since it's usually a fair amount of bet already if you're going to ask me.

In my experience when I do gamble a lot there are for sure a lot of things that you can do to take a break from gambling unless you're a gambling addict its actually really simple, I just put my focus on other things, what I do is put my effort on learning other things since I wanted to be better something like 3D modeling, that is what I do and continue to learn that, I get rid of gambling pretty easy when you actually do some projects and then the result was kind great and you're satisfied with it you kinda want to continue learning it and just practice more eating a lot of your time.

It was actually simple right just to do other things something that you already wanted to do, you could easily divert your attention to gambling for sure, but much better if you're going to do things like exercise, sports, or learning new skills instead of just like watching movies, or playing games because maybe that new skills can be your assets that you can use in order to earn.

Ang ganda ng topic mo kabayan malaking tulong ito sa mga kaguhan na mga members naten dito sa forum, inaamin ko hindi ko rin alam ang mga ilang bagay dito at natutoto din ako sa sa mga CANDLESTICKS kaso lang noong mga panahon na nagtatrade pa ko talagang hindi ko lang kinakaya ang stress ng trading dahil madalas kelangan talaga bantayan ang galaw ng market dahil kahit mayroon tayong mga analysis o prediction ay unpredictable parin talaga ang galaw ng market dahil na rin mayroon talaga tayong mga hindi inaasahang balita na maaaring mangyare, bukod pa dun ay maraming mga factors ang nakakaapekto sa paggalaw ng Bitcoin sa market.

Para saken masmaganda na iwasan pa rin naten ang daily trading, lalo na sa mga kababayan naten na baguhan pa laman, masmaganda na magtrade lamang tulad ng ginagawa ko na minsanan lamang kung saan mayroon ka lamang prediction sa market na sa tingin mo ay siguradong magkakaroon ng paggalaw, madalas ang patay ang market at walang masyadong paggalaw pero kapag mayroong pumasok na major na balita ang siguradong magkakaroon ng mabilis na paggalaw ang volatile na market kung saan maaari mong gawing entry para sa quick profit, kung hindi naman ay magstick na lang tayo sa long term investment para iwas na rin sa stress.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling? on: February 10, 2024, 11:50:33 PM
If suddenly you went on a binge-gambling out of a lack of self-control or something else. For example, you deposit money in rapid succession after a series of losses and the casino management freezes your account. 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, will you feel furious, cuss out, sign out of your account and register on another casino and continue betting. Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling or betting addiction?

I mean even if you do gamble irresponsibly or something like that they dont really have the right to freeze someone's account to be honest because it is just your own money. Most of the casino and gambling websites probably like you to gamble irresponsibly because that is where they are going to earn since they are expecting you to lose money for sure if you are just gambling really frequently so I just dont get it, I guess they actually just wanted to freeze your account but then you appeal to them so they make some kind of expose for what they did.

This just means that at any moment you could lose your account on that gambling website since it's still a custodial thing you dont really have control over your money if it is on the website and even if you win there is no guarantee that you could withdraw that money, I know some cases where after they win a huge amount of money, which is a legitimate win or probably a bug in the system they win a huge amount but accidentally and then they freeze the account and banned him so easily because its a bug as they say, with just a quick one they banned the account and the owner cant open it anymore. That could happen for most of us on some gambling websites so its better to avoid gambling websites that have some of the cases, better to stick with the legitimate and trusted websites already here in the forum.

405  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Psychology of Investing in Bitcoin on: February 10, 2024, 11:40:29 PM
Well Hello from the other side ~

Ever felt that rush when Bitcoin hits a new high? Or the sinking feeling when it takes a nosedive? Let's talk about the rollercoaster ride that is Bitcoin investing.Are we in it for the tech, the profits, or just the thrill? Whether you're a HODLer for life or a day-trading.Let's dissect the highs, the lows, and everything in between. After all, the Bitcoin market isn't just about charts and numbers.

What are your thoughts on this ~ Let's discuss

I mean that's a normal thing right it's the FOMO that is gonna hit every time the market price starts to skyrocket and we always feel like we need to buy but more so that we could make a possible profit in the future, For sure the thrill is a part of it already I mean if you make a profit with just trading your kinda proud of that, the up and downs is just part of the game, probably that's what makes the movement exciting for most of the trading because it makes us happy when we make the right decision and at the same time it's not always winning because you could lose as well for the most part.

But for sure having the feeling of rush in investing is just part of your emotion, and if you let your emotions decide you might lose money, In my years of investing in Bitcoin I learned to hold for the long term and it's not really easy since you need to ignore the market for the most part, that is going to be difficult for some people who really just relay on Bitcoin and doesnt have a financial foundation.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is addiction bad only when it is a problem? on: February 10, 2024, 06:24:29 PM
Addiction to gambling is not a problem for some gamblers because there are some gamblers who are addicted to gambling, but it doesn't affect the other activities of their life. They take care of their families, wear good clothes, smell nice, meet up with appointments but still cannot control the urge to gamble. It doesn't affect their life because they can afford to gamble and manage the loses they make. So, to these people addiction is not a problem. They are addicts, but because they are successful, their addiction is ignored or excused as it is not a problem.
So I am need to know, is addiction only bad when it is a problem?


For sure addiction is a bad thing, I dont really get it since you said that he is addicted, and then you said that he manages the losses, if you are addicted you want to gamble and dont really manage anything, it is for sure going to be a problem, in the long run, they might not feel it at the moment but it is for sure going to affect his life, everything that is excessive is bad for sure. I kinda not get it, I mean if he can afford to gamble that just means that he is managing his finances I guess, and not actually an addict to gambling, I mean you dont really know right maybe you could see him gamble a lot but only gamble a controlled amount. Or probably his just one of the small percentage that is just lucky on gamble, I mean there are for sure people who is addicted to gambling but very lucky to keep on winning and able to make it to a success

407  Economy / Economics / Re: The savings problem on: February 09, 2024, 11:57:43 PM
The important thing here is financial education I guess, most of the banks these days are just designed for you to spend on things that you dont really need, banks are surely going to send you a lot of credit cards for sure if they know that you have money on your account, making you spend on expensive things that you dont really needed, they are opening this opportunity for you to use allowing you to buy cars, smartphone, etc. easily.

I mean there is inflation as well affecting how we manage our salary but the main thing is just the spending, we just really want to spend if we have money not having that financial knowledge and discipline, It was actually really simple just dont spend on anything that you can't really afford to buy if you can't afford a car just dont buy one yet until you can, Is it a high percentage of your salary already then dont buy one it, do you have other sources of income something like that. If you're not going to buy something that you can't afford it is actually really easy for you to have a good saving, in my experience, we just really desire something easily since we just have the power to do it, with only one swipe we can easily buy something like an iPhone without even realizing how it is going to affect us on the long term.

I dont really recommend using a loan or using a credit card, especially on things that you really need, credit cards aren't really that bad if you just use them wisely, I could easily recommend saving up to 50% of your salary depending on how many percentages you can but the higher the better for sure, make sure as well that you already have a financial foundation already something like insurance, emergency funds, savings, before even investing on something like Bitcoin or stocks.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Selling a property to play gamble on: February 09, 2024, 03:23:54 PM
For sure, it is not a great idea to sell something like property, I mean that should be the aim of earning anyway since the property is a tangible asset so when you probably earn on your investment or even in gambling you're going to buy an asset probably like a property or real estate where your money is safe from inflation something like that. If you did something like that selling your property not for investment but just going to do it so that you could use the money for gambling, I mean you just out of your mind, and you surely made the wrong move here risking that money on gambling, maybe there was a chance for you to win, but still the risk is not worth it.

I never really do something like that, when I gamble I only gamble a very small percentage of my money or just excess money and do not really expect anything in return so that I can easily recover when I lose, and if I win then that just means that I am just lucky.
409  Other / Meta / Re: USE OF CHAT GPT-RULES on: February 08, 2024, 05:24:01 PM
I know that there are probably rules, somewhere that I haven't looked. In general I feel like noboby has really posted Rules to Chat GPT. Of course I know its foolish to use it direcly as if you are the one who created the text/thought but what about quoting? And What about as a research tool? Chat GPT really helps to you skip the learning curve if you know how to use it correctly. It has helped me loads with simply understanding complex thought that I didn't undertand. I just made a post quoting Chat GPT and I don't even know if that was following the rules. If we can't avoid it which we definitely can't, that means that Chat GPT is veriy similar to BTC in this aspect lol. What do you guys think about Chat GPT? I'd love a Btalk Bot that has kind of like a chat GPT engine but geared direclty towards helping the users/ newbies with literally anything. Would love to see this THEYMOS! I wonder if this has been discussed? Huh

Quoting for sure is going to work and you're not going to have any issue with it, just to be safe you could quote Chat GPT directly as the writer of the quote so that the members know, Your not actually going to be in trouble if you are using it the right way, as a research tool for sure is for sure allowed, if you think about it that was actually convenient to learn something so easily or have an idea about something, what we just avoiding it is completely not doing anything using CHAT GPT directly and using it as an answer here in the forum, since that could just mean that you're not the one posting on your account, its the AI that is doing the work which is going to be plagiarism and use of bot, I mean this is an advancement in technology so they are not really going to disappear probably they are going to get better and better in the coming years for sure, what we need to do is just use it correctly.

I dont know about Btalk Bot, I just can't see the point of having it since this is the forum that is already what we do, helping each other directly by creating a thread or a topic and then replying on it as a direct answer to the question if we are going to have one, some BOT that answers questions about cryptocurrency or Bitcoin so we just replace the forum with a BOT just ask the BOT then no need to create topic anymore.
410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you beleive in the concept of "Luck"? on: February 08, 2024, 04:30:55 PM
I mean I do believe in luck for sure because there are for sure times that you are lucky, and yes maybe it just really happened, or probably it is just what was intended to happen maybe it is just what it is called it luck right? If for a long time, you just didn't win anything then suddenly you just did it 10 straight times in a row that is for sure luck right? how are you then going to explain that if it wasn't luck?

There are for sure times that I'm lucky but I would say I'm just average like a 5 when it comes to luck because I didn't really have any kind of luck when it comes to life-changing things, If I win the lottery I would probably say that I'm a 10 when it comes to luck.

Its kinda of different in gambling and in your regular life, when gambling it would actually feel like real luck because the chances probably are just really low, on regular life things could really just happen unexpectedly most of the time.

I dont believe in things that cause luck but if someone is going to give me something and say that it's a lucky charm I would probably use it and keep it, because maybe it is going to actually work.
411  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A student investing in bitcoin? on: February 07, 2024, 07:28:51 PM
When I started in Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency I was just a student as well, I dont really have any idea of what Bitcoin is at that time, and the price of Bitcoin was around 400$ I think, I just learned about it when one of my classmates actually tell me about it and share his earnings, at that age, he already earns a decent amount of money on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, he was actually a hustler since he has a lot of ways on earning money so when they told us about this thing we easily get interested and trust him on this one. In my mind being able to earn a fair amount of money which is probably huge already considering my age, I mean as a student I had already earned thousands of dollars cash straight in my wallet at that time, and I could pretty much buy all the food that I wanted so I was really grateful that he shares his knowledge to us.

Still, even though you are not a student anymore for sure it is still a good opportunity to invest your money in cryptocurrency not necessarily all of your savings since even though Bitcoin was huge it was still a very risky investment compared to other assets that are tangible, Bitcoin doesnt really have a physical form so your for sure not sure if it has some kind of value because the value of it is just depending on how the market moves. For me, there is always opportunity that is going to come in the market so it is never too late actually to invest that's for sure, DCA for sure is a good strategy to minimize the risk by just investing or accumulating Bitcoin monthly. But it might be better to have a solid financial foundation first before even starting to actually investment, make sure you have insurance, savings, emergency funds etc. before starting to investment so that you have backup plan in the future because Bitcoin is not guarantee, after a few years Bitcoin might not exist anymore.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: February 07, 2024, 07:12:11 PM
If the son actually won for sure the parents wouldn't really be so mad, probably still mad but not to the point where they need to punish him, they might probably just do a sermon in order for their child to realize that what he do is not good. That is probably what I would do as well if I were the parents, depending on how much he took, if he takes a huge amount of money like thousands of dollars he's probably going to be kicked out of the house for sure, but if it was just he's first for sure a warning would be enough, since they are still a child they probably not aware of it .

I mean to be honest when I was just a child I stole money from my parents as well so that I have money to use to play computer games at a computer shop after school it actually got worst since I stole money as well for buying items on the game, it was an FPS game and I bought some ecoin on the game to buy good items, that was actually the worst thing that I do because it was money from our small business so when someone bought something I took a small amount on it. My parents found out of the course and got mad at me, I mean I already had it in my for a long time that I dont want to steal money anymore that doesnt really work it was only stopped when I found out how to make money on myself when I do some work as well as finding out about cryptocurrency that is when I stop doing it.

413  Economy / Gambling / Re: MetaMask Crypto Casinos on: February 07, 2024, 09:00:53 AM
Most of the time on some of the gambling websites that I've played all you need is email in order to register and start playing, But recently I came across somewhere you can use your MetaMask wallet in order to log in to their website, For sure I don't really going to recommend that especially because it is just way too risky to put your personal wallet to some suspicious website, especially on a gambling website where there is a lot of phishing that is happened most of the time.

If I have a huge amount in my Metamask money I would really connect it to a lot of websites that is not really secure or trusted, I would just use it for safe transactions where I wouldn't risk my account getting drained, It was just very scarry since there are a lot of cases of it where metamask wallet get drain pretty easily probably phising or some other method, there are lot of method that they might use in order to hack our wallet to its already better to avoid it and be safe from it than having regret in the end when you get hack, Also it wouldn't really hurt if your going to just make a other metamask account that doesn't have big funds, or just an account that you use for playing, or else just use other ways like email.
414  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What does BTC mean to you? on: February 06, 2024, 09:29:38 AM
Looking at Bitcoin as a digital gold or coin, we could probably say that it is just digital money but in my opinion, Bitcoin is great as an investment, for right now Bitcoin just means an investment because this is probably the best investment in my opinion that you could do even though for most people it is actually really risky for the most part. With the volatile market price in the market, I believe that it is really suitable as an investment not just something as digital money that we could use, It might be even better at this rate to use it only as an investment compared to what we are going to use it as actual money because there are still a lot of problem with it like networks, fees, etc.

Also, it might be a good way for freedom what I mean here is comparing it to fiat where it is controlled by the government, we have to deal with inflation where the government actually is just the one that causing it since they could easily just print money whenever they want to. Bitcoin could be a way to escape inflation in a way. As an investment, this is probably the best thing that happened when I just learned about Bitcoin I learned to manage my financial, save, and invest.



415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who says you can't be a millionaire in sports betting? on: February 06, 2024, 08:04:40 AM
Just like what I've always said before even though someone is able to do it on gambling, it doesn't really mean that it is going to happen to you as well, No body says that no one can be a millionaire on sports betting or gambling, I mean there only a few people for sure but there are people who win a lot of gambling and betting, as well as sport betting for sure.

The combo multiplier was surely popular and I do this kind of bet as well most of the time 1000pesos could easily be x10 or x20 you could make it up to 20kpesos or even more depending on how lucky you are, but a million for sure was really difficult to do and it's going to be a huge bet or risk aiming that kind of money, for sure it was just a lot of luck and little skill needed. This was probably a good bet since there is only very low risk here.

I've gonna say that is actually really lucky to win that kind of amount, It wasn't that big for someone but it might be life-changing for some people.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: February 06, 2024, 02:45:28 AM
As gamblers, we love more action, so we tend to make more bets on a regular basis. However, experts say that when we make too many picks regularly, our chances of winning decrease. This is due to the fact that we won't be able to analyze all the games carefully that are in our ticket and won't have the advantage needed to win. So instead, it's recommended that we should value quality over quantity if we want to succeed in sports betting.

Share your opinion regarding this matter.



Edit : I see that some replies are talking about parlay. FYI, this is not about parlay, it's about making many single picks on a regular basis. Please avoid using parlay when sharing your opinion.

I guess it was just a high-risk reward thing having multiple bets on a regular basis might be great for sure if you're winning but on the other way around that could easily be a double-edged sword since you could as well lose multiple bets. To be honest I would probably prefer doing multiple bets since it has higher chances of winning for sure at some point, even though I might lose for the other bet it increases the chance of winning and that could easily make up for the loss if I win the bet, kinda like high-risk high reward thing so, in my opinion, its kinda worth it.

In sports betting we prefer players that we think we might think is going to win or even have some kind of analysis on what we think is going to win, depending on how you are going to play since there are combos where you could multiply your winning. It is just going to involve luck on your prediction, I might just have a favorite player or team just to make it interesting and make it fun but with a high chance of winning if I really wanted to make money I would do multiple picks.

Grabe nakakatawa na talaga itong Pilipinas sobrang laki naman ng budget at for sure naman may budget tayo pero bakit ganon parang hindi talaga mabigyan ng magandang security and mga government website, sa madalas pa mapapansin naten na sobrang sloppy talaga ng mga website lalo na kapag government kahit UI design man lang ay masmaganda pa yung mga gawang website ng iba jan. Nakakalungkot lang isipin dahil data nateng mga Filipino ang nandudoon pero ganun ganun lang mawawala lang ang makakanaw lang agad, if im not mistaken may government website na nahack at nagtrending not sure if PAGIBIG ata yun or DOH may mga nagleak na data noong nakaraan lang noong nahack ang website nila at pinalitan yung home page nila then sa FB naman nileak nila yung data.

I mean naniniwala ako na kayang kaya nateng pagtibayin ang security naten, ang dami kung kilalang magagaling to the point na bilib talaga ko sa kanila dahil parang sobrang lalim na ng utak nila pagdating sa mga ganitong bagay programs, codes, hacking at marami pang iba hindi tayo mawawalan ng tao para jan, siguro ang nangyayari lang talaga ay under paid talaga ang mga empleyado sa government kaya hindi maisaayos ayos ang mga ganitong bagay.
419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: February 05, 2024, 03:55:41 PM
I often run out of funds due to gambling that is too blind in terms of placing $$ on every bet I make and ends up losing. I do multi-bets and single-bets, every time I win, sometimes I forget myself and use all my $$ on the next bet. This sometimes gives me big wins, but if I'm unlucky I can lose all my funds and this has happened many times.

I started to realize and change my habits. Now I use $$ from the profits from the previous bet to place the next bet and save my initial capital.

What do you think, is this good and can help me overcome losses that will occur so that $$ remains safe and can be used in future betting? Are there other unique ways that you can use to grow your money in gambling? feel free to comment. Thanks

I mean you're probably getting kinda of greedy considering you're betting though winning or losing it wouldn't really matter since you just let your emotions win at this time which is what the casino likes you to do and that just means that you fall on their trap.  Personally, I dont really think that it is possible to earn a good amount of profit, especially on gambling because it is just way to risky for someone to actually think that it is a good idea or good source of income, it is for sure might be a way to make a profit and there are a lot of people probably that get lucky who is able to make a good amount of money on it but it doesnt actually mean that you could do it as well. Lets be honest most of the games are rigged and probably designed for you to lose your money so I dont really think that we could actually make a good income on that, Personally, I would prefer sports betting since it might be fair in the most part and kinda fun also in my experience, the winning is as well big for the multiplier.

The thing is if we want to actually want to minimize the loss just dont gamble and put your funds on something that could actually make a good income as an investment, for sure your funds are going to be safe as an asset.
420  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My first Bitcoin on: February 05, 2024, 02:12:40 PM
Well, congratulations on your first Bitcoin purchase looks like you finally made a decision to start investing and accumulating Bitcoin, First of all just want to share with you the Dollar cost average which is the best strategy in my opinion that you could do when investing in cryptocurrency on long term investment, that is basically just buying Bitcoin like weekly or monthly depends on your preference what even the market price as long as your accumulating Bitcoin, you could as well modify it with increasing or decreasing your buying power depends on the movement of the market, as long as you have a target price or going to sell only on the Bullrun you could easily guarantee a profit every time.

As I can see you're putting your Bitcoin on Binance which is an exchange, I dont really recommend putting such an investment, especially on an exchange since you dont really have complete control over your funds, find an open-source and noncustodial wallet, I could easily recommend Electrum for sure since that is as well what I'm using its easy to install and secure compared to other wallets. You could download the wallet here [GUIDE] How to Safely Download and Verify Electrum [Guide] . Its better to be safe I had an experience where my funds were frozen on a custodial wallet and I wasn't able to recover it anymore because they thought that I had some kind of suspicious transactions.
