401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - Nov 15 on: October 28, 2023, 11:11:32 PM
I also read the news, and it's really disappointing. The same thing happened to his brother during his fight against Stephen Fulton; he also suffered an injury, so the fight was postponed.

@Baofeng  You're right; it looks like it won't happen this year, probably early next year. Since it's a championship fight, Jerwin has no choice but to wait until it finally takes place. But don't worry, guys, there's still a fight between Inoue and Tapales before the year ends, so that should be enough to entertain us in the last month of the year.

I don't understand though that they are so sloppy to let this happen, I mean it's only sparring, and why his sparring partner targeted his body that much to cause any injury? Doesn't make sense. Of course, they train hard 100% every day in the gym, but if this kind of injuries can be avoided in preparation of the fight, the better.

In sparring, they are really going at it with full force, so it's maybe this is just a accident on the part of Inoue and his sparring partner. Inoue knows that Jerwin is a powerful puncher and so he tries to replicate it by getting a heavy handed sparring partner and this is the only reason why he got injured when his mate go for that body shot as they are expecting Ancajas to do that on Inoue. Unfortunately, this things do happen and Ancajas should stay focus and wait for Takuma as that is his target for this year and that belt.


If nothing else, we still have Inoue vs Tapales before this year ends.
And this postponement will give also Ancajas to prepare more on this fight.
Takuma is relatively young as compared to Ancajas, but the latter has the experience inside the ring.
So let's see who's gonna dominate on this match. We can't discard the fact that Takuma is the brother of Naoya.
He got a good source of tips here when it comes to boxing especially fighting with Filipinos.

I fully agree with your thorough analysis regarding Bitcoin as a smart investment choice. Criticisms, like those expressed by Charlie Munger, often seem to be the product of limited understanding or a reluctance to embrace innovation and change in the financial field.

No need to worry about people who don't want or are still very reluctant to accept innovations and changes in the financial field such as Bitcoin. Because people like that will eventually realize that Bitcoin is worthy of being called a smart investment choice for everyone who can continue to invest forever in the future.

So those of us who already believe in Bitcoin as a smart investment don't need to worry about other people who are still reluctant to believe in Bitcoin because it won't harm us as Bitcoin users either. Maybe they themselves will suffer losses because they don't know how to take advantage of Bitcoin during their lifetime because such people usually always believe more in ancient things so they always judge every innovation and change in any field wrongly.

We can't generalize this sentiment for all people as a lot are still not sold in this market.
It may be the smartest choice for those who are already into this market but for those who are not yet here, they have other choices that they prefer the most.

Welcome to the forum I've noticed quickly the coding languages that you're good at. You can use that to offer your skills in the Services[1] section and ask to get paid in Bitcoin. There are many projects that I have seen that they're looking for a coder but I am not sure if those that you've mentioned is what they look for as their PL.

For now, he can roam around this forum as he is lucky, he stumbled on this hidden gem.
He can offer his services once he got acquainted more about this market and the needs of the people working on this community.
Reading threads after threads in this forum will give him so much knowledge and he will soon find out what niche he wants to explore with.
So congratulations to OP for finding this forum. Don't rush as you can learn a lot from this forum.
404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not a casual fan but want to participate in sportsbetting on: October 27, 2023, 11:14:59 PM

Given that OP seems lazy to do some reading stuff, I doubt he will survive the discussion in the NBA discussion thread. He might also have a hard time understanding some of the discussions there as it was a general discussion. If only OP seems to be serious, I will definitely advise that thread on my first response. Smiley

Nothing really different from playing gambling games that require pure luck.

But the second thread given might help OP as he only needs to pick from those users' bet lists as a reference for his future bet.

Another suggestion, if OP really wants to do sports betting, choose the league that he really knows, not as a casual fan.

Those threads mentioned are actually good discussion boards to catch up on how things are going with NBA.
Some inputs on those threads are actually good insights and you can check it on the respected teams involved.
If you want high probability of winning, better get acquainted with the actual players on the team and their current performances.
You will be more comfortable with your bets also if you know what are your chances with the game.
405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think if you have a lot of money its hard to satisfy your ego in gambling on: October 27, 2023, 10:41:08 PM

Having a lot of money does not really determine how well you would be with your gambling habit, because sometimes these money you see to be really big might be what these rich people see as as small enough for them to just throw at the casino and if it doubles up they go happy but if doesn't they have no problem with it.

I think what really causes this has to be self control, if you have good self control, you wouldn't have to moderate yourself if you have got enough self control and a lesser greed, but then I don't think these people Play with such big amount because of greed rather it's basically because it's what they can comfortable afford to loose.

These high rollers have different approach with their bets because they can afford to place big ones.
And they won't stop up until they have funds to supply their gambling activities and satisfy their desires.
Most of them don't care about losing those big amount of money, so no one should follow their footsteps if you can't afford such gambling lifestyle.
And some of them are popular personalities where they are bragging those high bets on their social media, so we also don't know the true story why they are publishing it on their social media. Who knows some of them are also being paid the casino itself?
406  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs usdt (Tether) on: October 26, 2023, 11:53:18 PM
I would suggest for the OP to check other discussion threads in this forum, as his question has been answered many times over.
But do remember that USDT is a centralized stablecoin, whereas btc is a decentralized coin.
In time, he would understand more about the pros and cons of these 2 coins, and will utilize them accordingly.
As USDT is pegged with USD, then, it is self-explanatory why it is under stablecoin category and less volatile with BTC.
@OP, you can also read this below thread for further discussion regarding tether -

407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "Mattress Mack" loses nearly 10 million dollars on Astros Loss on: October 26, 2023, 11:22:48 PM
( could you ever bet millions if you had it? )

If have hundreds of millions then I do not mind betting 1 million into the sports that I am very familiar with especially when I believe that my favorite team have the upper hand.  The question actually depends on the capability of a person to finance such bet without affecting his financial status.  Those who got some millions won't bet with the stated amount but for those who have hundreds to thousands of it won't mind because they have the capability to lose such amount without flinching.

According to the replies, that guy is still on the green after losing those amount.  So I think he would not mind the losses and will continue to bet with such huge amount until he found out and realized that his finance can't support such huge amount.

If you are talking about high rollers, such amount is no big deal for them.
It may be our lifetime's savings but for them, it is just a loose change that they can play with.
So they have no qualms if they lost these million-dollars today and win the next day.
But on this note, regular gambler should not imitate their lifestyle because you can go broke in one bet ruining your life as well as your family.
408  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will $BTC soar beyond 35K or dip below? 🚀📉 on: October 26, 2023, 10:15:03 PM
Most people here believe that it will go to 35k+ and I am very happy about that. I have told people that 35k+ was possible this year for months and because it didn't look like that, people didn't believe me but I am happy that finally we are all on the same page. I get that it may not look like it is that easy to handle, but I think the best thing to do would be reaching to a point where we could see it grow a lot.

I understand it is not that easy at this current moment, but it could grow a lot better with time. Just hold, if you could just hold during this period, even if there is a dip coming right after this because people want to sell and get out, that doesn't mean that we can't go higher and that might happen eventually. This is why I suggest holding as long as possible and should probably have some sort of different result when the time comes. We need to realize things happen fast, but the time between them could go slow and makes you feel like nothing is happening.

Such price level is very possible as we are not aiming for hundred thousands dollars increase.
So it is only a matter of time to increase by 5-10k. Good news after good news will make this possible.
However, before reaching such level, you should have your own plans on how to take advantage of this opportunity.
Because most people are only in talks but lacking the actual plan on how to gain from this market.
409  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Give Bitcoin investment time on: October 26, 2023, 09:18:05 PM
We can never expect extra profit in a short period of time. At the time of opening a business, we don't assume that initially we may lose money in this business and accepting those losses, but we build a business and maintain the business after the losses occur for a period of time. Why do we expect huge returns in a short period of time when investing in Bitcoin where we accept losses to build a business. Be it business or investment, it is possible to earn a lot of profit in a short period of time. We think now is a good time to invest in bitcoin but if we expect huge amount of profit while investing in bitcoin then it would be foolish for us to think. Even if we invest now, we may have to wait a long time before that. After a long period of time if the market changes enough we will see a return on our investment.

Actually, that's where most newcomers in this market are getting this wrong.
Because they thought this market will be their savior and will give them huge profits once they enter in this market.
And this is why a lot are getting disappointed after learning that there's more than meets the eyes before you can really earn something.
The good time to invest in this market is whenever you have your extra funds, you should not feel pressure  from people around you because it is your funds that are on the line.
410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to build a career with bitcoin? on: October 26, 2023, 08:17:11 PM
There are only two career options in Bitcoin that in my opinion are both the best, and both must be done for the long term and also have sufficient knowledge and develop over time, so that you can do it well and wisely, disciplined and calm.
And as most people say, buy low, sell high, and also the DCA way. Both are good choices in terms of profit and should be done for the long term, as well as always increasing purchases when prices fall and normalizing them again when prices start to rise.
And Bitcoin can also realize your career in the job or business you have long dreamed of, by using the profits from Bitcoin to make your career a reality.

But users who will venture in this market should take note that the gain will always not be a part of their journey.
This is why they should always use funds that are not for emergency purposes or savings that they don't want to touch.
As the market is still very volatile, getting profits depends on when will you cash out,  and you don't know if the market is up or down at such time.
The example of the OP is a good one as they bought btc at a lower price and now, the price is more than 30k. But you can never be sure in such trend.
It is not always that you will have such luck when you decide to sell. Also, if the OP is not selling yet, it means, he doesn't have the profit yet from his investments.
411  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Something dangerous we do when using Binance P2P platform on: October 25, 2023, 11:59:39 PM
I think converting Bitcoin or crypto currency to fiat currency always involves some privacy violation.

I think I would agree with you in this particular aspect. When making payment, definitely one would make payment with buyer and seller account names revealed which one can easily trace them from. P2P can only be okay when it comes to the buyer and seller location from different places for which they have no contact but their names revealed which means their identity been revealed. This alone tells that p2p have some privacy violation too.

I am not seeing any problem with the P2P service Binance providing even though you can not see your buyers or sellers name or identity. If the seller doesn't want to release the funds after you make the payments then appeal to the exchange with proof they will take a look at it and if your data is correct they will hand over the funds to you not to the seller. So I think it's simple and secure to use this kind of service on an exchange like binance.

That's the good thing with binance p2p, if you have complaints, you can easily file as they have buttons to report your tx.
And if you happen to use their p2p services, it means, you agree with the terms and conditions attached to it.
This is why if you have privacy issues, then, don't use this type of trading. However, it is hard to find trustworthy p2p services these days.
You can't avoid such privacy concern because it is hard to send funds to someone if you don't know their name and acct number, if you opt to send it to your bank account for instance.
412  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it better to invest or trade Bitcoin? on: October 25, 2023, 11:26:45 PM
If you are someone who has the patience to wait and invest for the long term, then I suggest you to investing in Bitcoin and holding it for the long term, because I am sure that the price of Bitcoin will definitely continue to increase and will give you profits in the future, so you will not lose or be disappointed to invest in Bitcoin for the long term, therefore I suggest you to invest and DCA Bitcoin at this time, so that you will definitely get a lot of profit from investing in Bitcoin, because I think Bitcoin is a good investment for the long term.

The choice is indeed dependent on the financial status and preference of the user.
Some can withstand the stress brought by trading, whereas, some are just happy waiting for the right time to sell.
But before you buy some for yourself, you need to assess if you do believe on this market, and the reasons why you are accumulating your stash.
Because if your reasonings are too weak, you can easily sell at a loss when fud comes.
413  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do Not Lose Everything Youve Gained in One day, or One Trade on: October 25, 2023, 09:21:06 PM
Risk management was what your friend failed to apply on his trade before going to sleep. Which trader that understands how risky that trading has and didn't use stop loss on his trade and he went to sleep, it means that he was the one that was the cause of his loss.

What makes a trader successful is not by his experience of skill in trading but it is how he can manage his risks when trading to avoid excess loss. When trading, we shouldn't allow our emotions to control our trading activities to prevent us from greed.

Success for me is the combination of those factors - experience, skill, knowing how to manage risk among other things.
And every situation you are in will be unique as you need to apply different sets of techniques each time you trade.
Every project has their own features and so the strategies change. Sometimes you can't apply what you've learned because they have different movement or reasons why they are behaving such way in the market.
Thus, it is always best to be knowledgeable about the market you want to participate with, because it will limit your potential losses.
414  Economy / Gambling / Re: Greetings from Bets.io on: October 24, 2023, 11:55:33 PM
We are glad to have you here on the forum platform with a casino that you would like to share with us. As mentioned by those who previously posted here in the announcement you made, do the correct procedure and show us here the complete Bets.io that you mentioned.

I hope that in the future you will be like other casinos that can establish a lot of community gamblers who will support your casino, and I hope that the offers and promotions that you will offer to our gamblers will also be good.

Everyone has the chance to get their niche in the gambling industry, so it will depend on them how they will build their place on this community.
They can always improve how they market themselves and of course, every issue or complaint should be resolved accordingly.
They also need to listen some of the valid suggestions as these can help them in improving their services offered to the gamblers.
Remember, they have competitors which are already doing great, so it is hard to get those gamblers away from their turf.
415  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Need advice on getting merits on: October 24, 2023, 11:29:45 PM
Their is something I notice that is a major concern of a newbie, the concerns of a newbie is to earn a merit, and when they don't earn a merit they disappointed whereas is something that is not supposed to be in that form, so you don't need to create a thread before you can earn a merit, your response will fetch you merit you are answerable to a question that is asked, so what matters most is your intelligence,  because if you not intelligent I don't think you will have anything good to respond in cryptocurrency question and precisely bitcoin, that is why you have to expand your knowledge so that you will know things you don't know and you can be answerable to a question people is not familiar with, so such questions will fetch a merit in quantum

If you will post without thinking of getting merit/s, it will come without a doubt.
But make sure you are contributing something significant to the community.
Also, not all merit sources can see your quality post. There are some threads dedicated where you can submit quality post links so that person can get a merit.
But should not force one to give you merit, because it should be voluntary.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: October 24, 2023, 09:43:34 PM
There have been many studies that demonstrate that people have a lot of problems to judge themselves and they are incredibly partial when it comes to their actions, basically, they can easily find fault in others but they cannot do the same when it comes to themselves, so it is not surprising that a person could be obviously addicted and anyone around them saw this but the person which is suffering through this problem does not realize it, even if the signs this is the case could not be more clear.
The inability of people to judge themselves and their actions accordingly and fairly without biased judgement is what drag many into the possible situation they experience sometimes and that is what most of us must have to come to term with and being able to stand in the right position to make the right decision and to place ourselves in a position where our actions will not push us into something that we may not likely be comfortable with it outcome at some point.

First thing first since we know that sometimes we allow ourselves to be carried away by our inability to refrain from excessive action so for that we have to make a pre-plan of what we follow and how we manage to follow them fairly.

I believe the first point of the OP is what we need to abide and be firm with ourself.
Because if we will set the funds that we can use for gambling and stick with it, we won't have much problems.
But the dilemma of most gamblers is that they keep on going even if they exceeded their set limits.
Hoping that they will recover such losses up until it is already too late to get out of.
417  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top Halloween Online Casino Bonus or Promo on: October 24, 2023, 08:36:54 PM
Gambling on Halloween seems like a boring way to enjoy such an awesome festival frankly speaking. It's better to just save money and use it on partying, watching movies and shows etc in my opinion.

Trick or treating during my childhood days will always be some of my fondest memories ever.

Such preference depends on the gambler himself, some are on the hunt of these halloween promos as some are indeed interesting.
There's no problem in chasing these promos, so long you know your limits and you are not in debt because of this.
This is also one of the marketing promotions that the casino can offer, to spark again the interest of their patrons.
Hence, they have their own race or contests to offer with having competitive prizes on the line.
418  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: First bull run - how to not sell too early? on: October 23, 2023, 11:59:41 PM
Next year will hopefully be the start of the bull run and it will be first for me so just wondering if anyone has any advice/tips on how avoid the temptation and not sell too early?
Self-control, discipline, patience.

Do you think that there's some kind of tips that we can share to you, and you'll just follow it? No it's all learning how to make yourself better. Being discipline enough will make you more patient, and that will also make you stick to the plan that you made... that is you have plan with regards to selling during the bull market.

Any advice or individual plan when it comes to selling in bull run?
Having a selling targets would be a good strategy, and since I will also sharing it when bull run starts, might as well share it with you.

Put prices where whenever it reaches that price, you will sell a portion of your holdings. I think there's no need to further explain it. Just have 3 or 5 selling targets, and don't sell it at once or else, you might lose the opportunity to earn more profits if Bitcoin's price goes up even further. If there's DCA in buying, there's also DCA in selling. That'll do especially if you're a newbie.

Know your targets well and the reasons why you are aiming such price level and assess if you can afford waiting for such period.
The very reason why most are selling and breaking their goals is that they are being left behind when fud attacks or they have urgent needs with their funds.  
People panic and so they sell because of their worries about what will happen to the market. Not remembering why they are here in the first place.
Every once in a while, evaluate your financial situation, this will help you decide whether you need to sell early or not, or follow your targets.
419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: October 23, 2023, 11:43:41 PM
in our time today, if there are more streamers, it's because there's a lot of money to be made here, in short, it's a business where you can only be promoted depending on what class you're promoting, it can be any kind of games online , or gambling depending.

In this era that we live in, the in demand for streamers is that they promote online gambling, and the gambling owner pays them a lot every time they open a live stream, and most live streamers really don't can refuse the offer, even if what they do in promotion is true or not bad or good as long as they can promote it according to the number of their followers. And everybody they can see their promoting gambling apps.

It all comes down to the fact that most of them are paid by those casinos they are promoting with.
If they are not being paid, I don't think they will promote it for free, and lost a lot as well.
The problem lies the fact that a lot are still gullible these days, hoping that they will also hit big.
We don't know all the behind the scenes of those videos, as they can easily edit it and show only those wins and not losses.
420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. on: October 23, 2023, 11:16:20 PM
The gambler wish to win the game in the gambling,but it need of some time for the winning in the gambling compared to the other game.The gambler should control the emotion in the gambling sites betting,only the emotion control people can win the good win.Because with the nerves the gambler will made the wrong bet in the gambling site.Some gamblers using the coin to bet in the gambling site,but this is the purest form of the random betting in the gambling sites.
When you say emotions, do you also mean adrenaline? If so, then mostly players play for the adrenaline, and for the sake of winning too, but mostly they like the way they feel when they play. I’m talking about betting because it’s closer to me, even before the start of the event I understand what I can bet on, and if I haven’t made it before the start of the event, I can do it in live, it will depend on how the game develops, but If I feel a lot of adrenaline, then I will most likely refrain from betting, because I understand that in such a state it is possible to make a mistake.

You will be totally hooked if the sports you are betting with has the players you are rooting for.
It is like you are already part of the game, and you can feel the sentiments. This is why some are being emotional about it especially if they are very familiar with the athletes.
