Gambling is like a do or die games where you can win a lot or lost everything in a blink of a second.

If that's how to see gambling, then you are having a serious problem and gambling is not for you.
That will only happen for people who have lack of discipline or they failed to follow the game plan, of course losing is normal, but to loss everything is stupidity, we have the bankroll and we should learn how to manage it, you can loss if you got hot and you go all in, that's a suicide in gambling and no chance you will grow.
4182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Often Do you Bet on Politics? on: August 24, 2019, 08:23:25 AM
This is very interesting, but I'm not a fan of outside local politics as I don't know them and not interested with them.
I like to experience this with our local politics if possible, but only if the betting sites would display an odds for this, I know there's a betting happening especially in big countries like the USA, those trump days has made a lot of winners due to its very big betting odds.

Maybe next election though, I might change my mind if I see a candidate with a big odds like Trump had during the time he ran for president.
4183  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Favorite Dice Game Platform on: August 24, 2019, 08:15:39 AM
it could be the color or the design and the server.

All, but I like a fast server so it could roll fast.
There's a lot of dice sites in the forum and they are competing hard that's why we get the best service.

Also, the site reputation is very important, now, may favorite site is stake.com.
I also like a site where they have a fast withdrawal, although there's a fee, that's already as it's the standard.
4184  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: waiting for altcoin season might take time on: August 23, 2019, 10:33:01 PM
I believe it's coming very soon. That's why I'm accumulating more alts, mostly HOT, TOMO, OLT,...
I think that you should pay attention to coins that have low capitalization. I am buying coins with a capitalization of up to 60 million dollars.
That's a good range, altcoins dropped an average of 10 times from their highest marketcap, so they are undervalued now.
In the past, if I see a coin with at least 500 million usd marketcap, I also consider it a good coin as long as it has a good liquidity as well, but due to the bear market, most of them dropped significantly, so they are only holding now at 50 million usd and below.
4185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: August 23, 2019, 10:17:58 PM
Who do you see start for the Lakers, Howard or McGee?

Howard, that's a scary big 3 (Lebron, AD, and Howard) that would make them dominate the paint.
This season, if Lakers will improve in defense, they have a chance to dominate a team, even the Warriors, just imagine if none of these 3 will be injured after the end of the post season, I mean this is the line up I like to see, time for Howard to show up with Lebron that he can play like his old self again.
4186  Other / Archival / Re: Is KYC benefit to crypto people or not on: August 23, 2019, 11:19:05 AM
KYC is beneficial although crypto was created to be anonymous when it comes to its transactions. KYC helps projects to abide the legal laws of certain countries because it helps the government to track illegal activities. It also help the project to know their customers and to eliminate fake, bot and double entries.
This advantage is more on the government side, crypto is suppose to be anonymous but we can't grow without the government approving us, and unfortunately their approval comes with a condition that we have to comply with the KYC requirement.

They are treating crypto like banks and other financial institutional that under their monitoring, and we have to option but to comply if we want to use the service. Let's just say it benefits us also because a project that we like to invest will also undergo a process required by the government before they can launch.
4187  Economy / Economics / Re: Trade war Influences on cryptocurrency on: August 23, 2019, 10:20:05 AM
If you will ask the experts that are crypto enthusiast about this, they would always say that the trade war has a positive influence on bitcoin and the whole crypto market because altcoins also has the potential to grow in the future, however, majority of them will invest in BTC as it's the most powerful coin in the market.

With the trade war that of these two, it will only affect their economy, and I think USA under Trump leadership has made a wrong decision for this.
I know his intention is to benefit the americans, but the chinese products have already penetrated in the market.
The people will suffer if this will continue, and even other countries will be affected as well.
4188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: August 23, 2019, 10:05:56 AM

We can tell because those are not the top highest paid NBA players, they are still a rising star for me because they are still young.
They also don't have a solid scorer that is comparable to Kevin Durant, Anthony Davis, and Kyrie Irving, I guess they this team due to their popularity are just overvalued.
4189  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: New Exchange: Should I trade? on: August 23, 2019, 03:31:11 AM
Usually in new exchanges there are many offers to be able to attract traders to try out the features in their exchanges and there will be lots of bonuses. but indeed as a trader must really choose the exchage in terms of security and good volume to support trading in addition to existing bonuses and events
That's normal, but you should evaluate if you can take that bonus and sacrifice for the higher risk.

New exchange is high risk because they haven't proven themselves yet, the trading industry is big, we have a lot of exchanges here, so it's better if we only trade on exchange that we believe it's reputable and we have been using it for several years, also old exchanges have bonuses as well for new sign ups and a good exchange do that to stay in the competition.
4190  Economy / Economics / Re: Crimes involving crypto have risen on: August 23, 2019, 02:52:38 AM
Without regulation, this issue cannot be resolved. As we can see, the SEC continues its movement on cryptocurrency projects by filing a lawsuit for those who have committed crimes,
which means the figure announced above may well turn out to be less because some of the funds can be returned after some time.

Funds to be return, that's less likely to happen, maybe this people will go to jail but the money will not be return.
What the SEC are doing now is they are cracking the old scams, that is a good solution but there is a better solution to that, which is the prevention.

They should set a strict rules especially on crowd funding as most victims in the past came from that kind of fund raising, and hopefully it's not only the US who are strict when it comes to crypto regulation, but also the other countries.
4191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Poloniex Delisting 23 Trading Pairs, Whats The Effect? on: August 23, 2019, 02:41:36 AM
There's no big effect on the market, but those coins that are delisted loss their chance to gain investors.
Poloniex is not a big exchange anymore, if it's Binance, it could be a big loss, but we know when the exchange started to delist coins, that means those coins are not giving their profit anymore, they will open that slots for the new coins.

For me, if those coin's devs are still active, they should look for an exchange with better volume. .
Currently, Poloniex only has 17 million usd of trading volume, that's too small compared to the volume of some trading sites.
4192  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Investors are impatient and too quick to judge projects on: August 22, 2019, 10:24:06 PM
There is no assurance that a coin will make you profitable in a short term, that's why it's necessary to be realistic so you can condition your mind that crypto are long term assets and it will take time to develop and increase its value.

Those altcoins that rises quickly are only due to hype, even if it's an extraordinary project, at the early stage, it cannot be so valuable, after the hype it will eventually dump and stable, so you are lucky if you know how to sell at the right timing, but remember these does not happen in most coins you are investing.
4193  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: can exchange services sell my personal data? on: August 22, 2019, 11:15:03 AM
Decentralized exchange is the future of exchange of cryptocurrency, I hope we have more dex for crypto asset as time goes on!

I think that future is not bright anymore, some popular decentralized exchange now are already requiring their user to pass the KYC.
Binance DEX and IDEX are not anymore a fully decentralized exchange, it seems like the purpose of DEX has been defeated due to the strong regulation of the government which is to require a KYC so they can combat illegal activities such as money laundering.
4194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I don't know how to trust a gambling site nowadays! on: August 22, 2019, 11:04:40 AM
Gambling sites would do everything just to attract gamblers, but once they break their promise they will loss their reputation and you will know if they are scamming people if you will put some time to research before gambling.

Honestly, I am not too aggressive by a deposit bonus or whatsoever as normally they have a high roll over requirement, and every time there is a new site that pops up, I don't usually mind them as I'm loyal to the betting sites I am using now, for me, reputation matters more than the bonuses they offered.
4195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: your patience is being tested on: August 22, 2019, 07:20:25 AM
I have very little patience and therefore it is difficult for me to invest in new projects that are just entering the cryptocurrency market. Therefore, I invest in projects that have already shown themselves and in which I am sure that their price will not fall ten times over time. Invest in coins from the top 20 and your patience will not suffer.
There is no guarantee that you won't be tested, what if you invested at the wrong time, like during the bull run?
Let's say for example, you bought ETH last January 2018 because you believe it's a strong asset and it will not dump, of course it's in the top 2, so that qualified on your choices.

During that time, ETH was valued at its highest which was almost $1,400, so you held until the end of the year which the value that time was only over $100. Now, let me ask you, will you loss your patience that time or not?
4196  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scammers ruin ICO fund raising on: August 22, 2019, 06:54:58 AM
Let's accept that it happens, and ICO is gone and replace by IEO.
During its popularity, there's a lot of scams in the market, it is believed that majority of the ICO are scams and that's one of the big reasons why the market dump after the bull run. Now, people have learn, and the reputation of the ICO now is really bad as even good project does not get anymore the success which they can easily do during the popularity of ICO.
4197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 on: August 22, 2019, 06:16:59 AM
The United States is ahead of the rest of them by a huge margin, and unfortunately this gap is increasing with every passing year. 

I agree with most of your statement except this one. Their roster this year is not that far ahead of Serbia. If they ever lock horns later in the competition, I think Serbia will win.

If you also gamble in this competition, you might win bigger with the good odds of serbia, they are the 2nd best team based on the ranking from the betting odds so that makes them a tough competitor for the USA.

Serbia is  Serbia +350, meaning if you bet 1000 usd for serbia, you will get 2500 as your winning, that's a good odds right?
4198  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I Sold 2BTC at $3,000 and BTC Bumped to $10,000 on: August 22, 2019, 06:03:06 AM
You should not consider investing if you will allow yourself to get affected by your personal problem.
In business team, business are separate from the owner, hence as a owner, you should have a job or business so you can use your income for your daily expenses, but if that BTC was not mean for long term investment, there's nothing wrong with that, you should your problem and you benefited on it.

What you could do best is not to sell it right away, maybe you sell 1 BTC then hold the other 1 BTC, that might have give you good value now, but you things happen already, you can't change that.
4199  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Sometimes its always the investors fault on: August 21, 2019, 10:48:13 PM
It is us who make our decision, hence we can't blame anyone if we failed in choosing the right investment.
Making a research is just a basic requirement, and actually it's not hard since we have a good community where we can read their feed back and that could help us distinguish which projects are bad or good.

As for me, I will choose IEO now, but like I said, I would always do a research because once the money is invested, there's a already a risk of losing to that and as an investor, our goal is to multiply our money as much as possible and we to have a short ROI which is possible with IEO.
4200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Inoue vs. Donaire WBSS Bantamweight Final on: August 21, 2019, 10:29:34 PM
It is not the popularity that make the boxer becoming famous but it was from their ability and capacity,and yes you are right if they will be compared in same years starting career Mannys popularity is lessen you know why.becaue manny came from the Philippines in which poorer than Japan and the local media cannot make noise like what japans media can.and also that one when Pacquiao was started social media wasn’t that famous and used compared as what we have today,today in just one Post from Facebook million people may watch or comment but not 20 years ago
Lol, when you are popular you are also famous as they are synonymous. Manny became famous/popular in the US because of his fighting style. He is of a brawler and all of his fights in the US were action packed and Americans greatly appreciated it. With regards to Inoue, even with social media, still he is not that popular worldwide though he is popular in Japan. With this fight with Donaire, his presence is starting to be noticed in the boxing community and it would be boasted if he beat Donaire.
We know Inoue is a good fighter too, but we can't compare him to Manny yet in terms of accomplishment.
I believe what made Manny more popular is because he is a beast inside the ring but he had a good attitude outside,  he also proven that a boxer can have a lot accomplishment outside boxing because he became a congressman and now a senator.

We will see if how fans will accept Inoue when he fight in the US, there's a lot of things he needs to prove and he need to be nice like Manny if he wants to be popular not only in the US but all over the world.

Mayweather is good, actually better than Manny and he fights in the US but who has the biggest no. of fans when Manny and Mayweather fight, of course obviously Manny as we bear boos for Mayweathers while cheers for Manny.
