It's always the casino that are winning. It's true that when someone wins, on the other hand, there's someone who's losing.

And all the money that's inside the casino is what we call cashflow and they're just like the mediator of it and taking commissions out of our bets everytime we lose.

So, as a gambler we win sometimes but there are more moment that we're losing so take that in mind that we're not lucky at all times. And when is in luck, do not waste that opportunity for you to enjoy and take that money.

You are correct but most times they lose heavily as well let say when someone hit more than the total percentage they have received from the casino they will have to pay from their personal pocket to those groups of people that win such sets of games, and again what you must consider about casino is that in everyday people wins it may not from your region or being you that wins but someone wins.

Therefore all this couples together, they pays out their commissions to people who are winning so what we must find out is to know how many percentage they are taking from people in every single bets and how much in total for the months / year then you would know how lucrative gambling business or not maybe to know if they are losing or gaining in the business.
Yeah, that's one thing for this business. When someone hits big, they have to pay that of course and that's going to be out of their budget which is already allotted for big wins.

They're a casino and they've got money for that matter and that's the reason why it is normal that we see them pay big because that's part of the business.

There is no need to know the metrics and numbers about commissions or winnings that they're getting, it's a common knowledge that the actually are winning at most times.

It's an open secret about the gambling industry, so it's nothing new or surprising. We don't even need to argue about who wins and who loses between casinos and gamblers, that's because the answer is already known. It is true that some casinos go bankrupt because they don't have enough budget to pay their customers' winnings, but this rarely happens in thriving casinos where web traffic is very dense with thousands of players every day.

Casinos are the winners in the gambling industry, that's true and it's an undeniable reality. The logic presented by the OP is correct, so there is no debate on my part because all gamblers know it too.
Yeah right.

Everybody knows that it's always the casino that wins at the end. And those winners that have bagholding profits might just go back to the casino and let them lose all of it. I haven't seen an established casino that went bankrupt because of their customers winning. They always have backup plans.

But I've seen casinos that went out of business because it's a corporate decision and they can no longer cope up with the competition in the market as this industry is thriving and too many new big players coming in.

Even when the DCA method has never been bad to use just so we can accumulate crypto assets that will give us profit, Any cryptocurrency will help, to be honest. Until now, there have been many people using it, including me.
At this season of the market, I'd say the same thing that it is applicable to almost every cryptocurrency that you might feel of DCAing. But of course, this is more helpful and usable if you'll do it with Bitcoin.

dca also teaches us how we can use discipline on ourselves to accumulate savings that we think will help us in the future. And this DAC has been proven and tested.
It is proven and tested, without a doubt. And I agree that when someone has learned how to DCA, it's not just all about the practice of accumulating and saving crypto.

But it's also about the thought that you're saving money and keeping it for your future. You'll develop that character and it will help you grow your finances in the right time.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has this ever happened to you as a gambler? on: March 07, 2024, 12:42:15 PM
Addiction, greed and desperation of chasing the losses.

You'd see this normally in the physical betting shop when someone who still want to gamble but has lost everything that he brought. You'd be surprise that someone is going to approach you and will sell the gadgets that he's got and even watches that they wear.

At much worse case scenario, even the branded things that they have like clothes, bags, and all of those material things. That's why it's not shocking when someone goes to that point of losing everything but just can't accept defeat and want to stay longer through means of selling their stuff.
426  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What do you think are the best crypto to invest in today before the halving? on: March 07, 2024, 11:23:32 AM
Many will tell you to invest into low cap altcoins because investing in Bitcoin and/or Ethereum will only give you just around 2x-3x of your gain. And another thing is that they're already expensive. If you believe what they say, you're likely to choose those altcoins that you have no idea if they'll gain or not on this bull run.

I'll just the slow gain and quite expensive one but with the assurance that I am on the safe hand on this market through choosing the ones that I've mentioned.

There's no need for me to exert that much effort into finding out the best low cap altcoins to invest because it is associated with risk and you'll never know if you happen to bump into a good or bad one.
427  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Here is why people make money from Airdrops on: March 06, 2024, 11:37:13 PM
I think airdrops are also a way for the team to attract more investors. Some people tend to associate legitimacy to those projects who give off if benefits for free. However some you might find that the airdrops they are willing to give are so huge so we still must stay alert at all times. Airdrops are a good source of money but don’t be too blinded that you don’t see carlos anymore.
It does because it's a way to market their project through these airdrops and giveaways. That's the strategy that many project have discovered for them to have more attraction in the market.

Once they've got that reputation that many have seen that they've provided successful airdrop and with decent amounts. Most investors will think that project has got a lot of money in the circulation and that's why they can provide such airdrops.

But in reality, that's just part of the marketing and that money allotted for the airdrop have been calculated and the return is greater because of the exposure that they'll get from the airdrop receivers and that's like words of mouth that will scatter in many crypto communities.
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indirect victims of gambling addiction on: March 06, 2024, 10:04:47 PM
That's irresponsible gambling when an addicted gambler disturb that are not gambling addicts and they don't have money to gamble and they keep disturbing those relatives of theirs that they're depending too.

It is a crazy thing and shameful act of a gambler when he does it and then don't have his/her own pocket to pick money for gambling activities.

Those type of gamblers should just be ashamed of themselves when they're finding some fault of themselves and wanting people that surrounds them to feel pity about them.
429  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does any meme coin has the ability to challenge bitcoin dominance ? on: March 06, 2024, 08:51:33 PM
In last one week, coins like pepe rose by 400% or more. There were other meme coins like dogecoin and shiba inu also growing fast.
This section is for Bitcoin Discussion while you've mentioned meme coins, I'd believe that this thread belongs to the Altcoin Discussion.

Lot of bitcoin users would now feel tempted to move their funds to these meme coins for higher profit.
How can you be sure with that? I am not even tempted to jump into the bandwagon of meme coins with my Bitcoin.

At such, do you think that any meme coin has the capacity to challenge bitcoin dominance ?
Nope.

It's unlikely to happen as these meme coins are more with the hype and that's why you can see that it's always Bitcoin consistently have the most dominance in the market.
430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 06, 2024, 07:49:55 PM
Overconfidence: Emotions can also lead to overconfidence, where we believe that our abilities and knowledge are superior to what they actually are. When we are in a positive emotional state, such as feeling confident or happy, we tend to overestimate our chances of success and underestimate the risks involved. This can lead to excessive betting and poor decision making. For example, if you are on a winning streak and feeling overconfident, you may ignore important information or ignore warning signs that indicate a potential loss.
This is one thing to remove by most gamblers. When you're too overconfident and as you gamble, you'll bring that up and will make you want to gamble some more because you're overconfident.

Which means that by having that kind of feat is gonna make you to gamble as much as you can without having the need to stop because, you're having that feeling.

So for you to control it, you need to remove first that overconfidence and that will give you the scare to gamble continuously when you're on a brink of having a losing streak.
431  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: We might just have experienced the start of Bullrun on: March 06, 2024, 06:52:06 PM
We're on the bull run, for Bitcoin not entirely for the crypto market. I saw that meme coins have also increased yesterday and that's making everybody that we're on the bull run.

We see a crash that just happened this day and another normal day on this highly volatile market. I've been telling my friends that they should buy before the halving or even after that as long as it's not yet skyrocketing.

But it seems that Bitcoin breaking its former ATH would have discouraged them. It's just them and not me, I'm waiting for some more.  Tongue
But based on the bitcoin halving countdown there's still almost 40+ days before the actual bitcoin bull run, so we are not sure of which is to believe but imagine this bitcoin pump is not because of bull run, maybe caused by bitcoins ETF approval and people halving too much bitcoins for the preparation of bitcoin bull run, imagine the price will bitcoin reach if the actual bull run comes, that's why I believe that bitcoin will not only surpass its previous ATH but it will set another record breaking price in the market that will open the door of bitcoin becoming the most powerful currency in the market including fiat currencies, can't wait for the bull run, no matter what I will not sell my holding until the bull run comes, I don't have much of holdings but I want to see it through until the end, goodluck for the other holders like me we may be blessed.
Won't you believe yet that we're not yet in the bull run? I also believe that bull run should come after the halving but with all of the stuff that we're seeing right now.

It's more than enough to believe that we're actually on it. We had a crash one day ago and the price plummeted from $69k to $61k and now it's back to $67k.

Isn't this a sign of the market that we're already on a bull run? Being resilient and recovery less than a day is a sign.

It's always different per experience of each gambler. I am not shocked to see that I am having a smooth experience and the others don't.

Too many factors to consider and we don't have different situation coming from the source of funds that we use for gambling and also the area that they're in.

To say the least, I have never experienced anything terrible with my gambling experience or I just don't care about some small slips that I've noticed as I'm satisfied at most times. If there are some complains on my end, it's always been addressed and solved eventually.
434  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Playing crypto for many years without holding Bitcoin. on: March 05, 2024, 07:59:12 PM
When I've said sell, I think it is normal for each and everyone of us to have a pinch of it and sell if you ever need it. I'm not saying that those that are firm in holding should sell if they don't have to. But those that have to sell at those times if they need to, are free to do so.

I have myself ready to sell some and have a part that will be held for a very long time, no time span when I'll sell. I'm actually both, a trader and an investor and you're right about increasing fiat because I've got some needs to address and that's why I have plans of selling but not all that I hold.
When we say take something as a pinch of it/salt, it means we shouldn't totally believe on it but what you said there is not unbelievable. Hodling is not easy and we all know the people, we are always greedy about money or earning a profit. In fact, many of us can't HODL their Bitcoin even on the beginning of the bull run, like what we are experiencing now. They can't help but to sell it earlier or before it. Other than greed, there is also doubt and fear that what if Bitcoin will not recover and rise anymore? For those who only sell whenever they need money, these people are already treating their Bitcoin's like a saving more than an investment.
That's true.

Those that sell whenever they need to have some cash, it's their life savings as treated like their bank savings. When people say that they don't sell, I doubt it that they don't really do.

We're all selling at the right time when we think it's the satisfying moment and price that we have to. Because whether we like it or not, someone has got to sell for their own needs and wants that they want to purchase.
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules on: March 05, 2024, 12:17:11 PM
There is no punishment for yourself when you break your own gambling rules.

Not because you are winning meaning this will be forever because we knew how gambling fool us for making us win for a while and when we are starting to become more aggressive then this is a payback time and they will take all those winning and even your capital.
They won't literally take back our winnings. But it is us that we're sending it back to them when we're not contented with the profit that we've made as we gamble.

Instead of taking care of that profit, it is what we do and gamble again because we thought that we'd win more than the amount that we already have.
436  Economy / Economics / Re: Beginner questions on: March 05, 2024, 10:36:00 AM
I just wonder, since im completely new to the stock exchange
This is not stock exchange but this is cryptocurrency market.

If I invest 250 dollars, can I loose them if the price goes down? Or do I still hold my share.
You still have it and just have to hold it until its back to its the same value or more. You only lose if you're going to sell at losses and that's what you have to remember. Whether you trade in centralized exchanges, or with the etfs or decentralized exchanges.

As long as you won't sell and it is projecting you lost value, you still have the chance to recover with that.
437  Economy / Economics / Re: Hard times in the average Nigerian society on: March 04, 2024, 08:15:53 PM
It's not only Nigeria that experiences this. Many developing countries can't move forward because of these factors, destabilization, corrupt officials, economic sabotage and many more. Even if the citizens are patriotric and peaceful loving people.

If those factors are stopping the progress of them, they're not able to make any country they are in great. You'd see rally left and right just for these people to send their message to the government.

But people do see that these are nonsense, those that are okay with the standard of governance by any reigning government. It's hard to have these problems solved, it will take time to forever.
438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler on: March 04, 2024, 05:39:14 PM
Cash out is only for the weak, since I'm not a weak person, I never cash out my bet even though things doesn't looks good.
It is not for the weak but he just did it on the wrong time when he's not yet in profit but just felt that he's scared and want to cash it out.

As he said, there are times that we have to follow our instincts and if we think of pulling and cashing out our bets, that's okay and put that into priority without thinking of the what ifs that shall come next.

Don't let your emotion to control your decision because it's just temporary. Probably you're not think twice before make a bet, so you're still not completely sure if you won't make any change in your prediction.
I agree, think twice before you make a bet and if you have already made a decision that there's no stopping after you cast a bet. But that option is there and made by the casino for someone who changes his mind every now and then.
439  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Playing crypto for many years without holding Bitcoin. on: March 04, 2024, 04:05:56 PM
Everyone is striving to own Bitcoin and does everything in their capacity so that they can hold Bitcoin and sell when the bull run comes on the peak or even the closest price from there.
I can't leave your sentence as it stands. Many of us, especially the old hands, have no interest in selling our Bitcoin and will certainly not do so. Bitcoin is so much more than an object of speculation that you can easily sell for a few dollars. The following article is very good and highlights the main points why Bitcoin is so important: Why Bitcoin is Not a Speculative Asset

Quote

Since we are also in the trading section of the forum, it has to be said quite clearly that it makes no difference to a trader whether he trades Bitcoin, shares, gold or precious stones. The asset itself hardly plays a role, the market movements are important. However, the goal of a trader is usually to increase FIAT and not the asset he is trading.
When I've said sell, I think it is normal for each and everyone of us to have a pinch of it and sell if you ever need it. I'm not saying that those that are firm in holding should sell if they don't have to. But those that have to sell at those times if they need to, are free to do so.

I do try to follow patterns that seem to work for the games that I play. But I know that they have limitation and they're not going to last forever.

So, if they're working currently and you're winning some bets with these patterns and strategies. That's okay to continue them as you enjoy them to do such strategies.

But remind yourself that they're not going to last a life time and there will be more times of you losing with those patterns so, it's just basically luck if you've win and lose some.
