421  Economy / Economics / Re: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? on: March 01, 2024, 11:14:52 PM
Because the system is broken and not everyone can be rich unfortunately Roll Eyes!!

Btw, too many graduates of today depend on white collar jobs and few of them want to do the tough jobs such as engineering, being a specialised doctor and all that good stuff. Aa

There could be an element of laziness too which is another inhibitor to success, for those willing to work it's usually the job experience that sits on their success but it's all about time as their time to shine will come..just don't give up yet!!
422  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If everyone is holding their bitcoin, will there be a balance? on: March 01, 2024, 09:49:10 PM
I have read several posts encouraging people to hold their bitcoin for the greater good of bitcoin and probably more reward in the future. I have also been able to buy some for myself and also holding. But there is this concern that usually pop up in my head anytime I am meditating and that is what will happen if everyone is holding their bitcoin and no one is willing to sell.
I hate to break it to you mate, but we humans are in a habit of exhibiting some form of greed whenever it comes to valuable things and want everything to ourselves....and Bitcoin having early adopters means these will want to sell sooner or later at one point when everyone is preaching about holding they certainly won't be in on this..which means not possible for all to hold.

Btw, for a balance to happen buyers and sellers need to be at an equilibrium and not everyone being Hodlers...if everyone started to hodl the effect would push price up as this would create an artificial shortage on the market which would be bad for late investors.

If this question appear dumb, please pardon me, I just need clarifications. 
Not a dumb question btw, if you don't ask you will not get the answers you need Wink

Congratulations on your win buddy but your message doesn't sit right with me!!

 I don't know for how long you have been gambling, but hope you understand that there is what is called beginners luck and just because you won the first one doesn't mean you will always win ...and saying regardless of losses it still pays mean you are always going to be in profits.

And if I ask veteran gamblers they all say not everyday is a rainy day and we need to keep it at that.


Btw, those that can boast of being profitable are numbered and not everyone can say this proudly!

Event of the Year and Fail of the Year results show how much of an impact "the news" of the "ban" on the forum had..but what the heck we take the news with a pinch of salt and move on, maybe in the future this ban will be lifted !!

Otherwise great competition it was and some names proving to be undisputed in their categories and don't see this changing anytime soon.. all in all congratulations 💐🥳🎉 🎁 to all those that emerged has winners.
425  Other / Meta / Re: Should Merit-Sources send merit based on their feelings or quality of the post? on: March 01, 2024, 05:35:04 AM
Before anything, these are human beings you are dealing with & emotions are very much part of the biology!
So understanding the point raised means , if you choose a path that  will put you in bad books with merit sources and not get you these golden nuggets you have yourself to blame, and let's not forget this isn't an easy undertaking especially that this isn't a paid job for them to spend time going through threads looking for posts that qualify to be merited... otherwise naturally merit should be based on the quality of the most just like they do when making applications when trying to become merit sources.
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports that you don’t watch but you keep placing bets on: February 29, 2024, 08:36:19 PM
Do you have a sports that you keep betting on even though you don’t watch this sports live or you don’t know the full specifications of this game?
Funny thing is I do have several sports of this nature I bet on but never get to watch these sports ...but because I have some knowledge on how they are played I think I can get away with it as I check head to heads and past performance which gives me the edge on them and the math does add up, but I wouldn't advise someone else to do this as this could be betting blindly.

Although my case is different, maybe this will count: Betting on a different league that I don't follow but is still under my favorite sports.

To make it clear, for example, I always bet on basketball as my preferred sport, usually in the NBA and our local basketball league, PBA. But sometimes, when I'm feeling it, extending my betting to other basketball leagues which is not familiar to me, and my knowledge is lacking, like CBA, NCAA, NBL any other basketball league from different countries that was covered by the sportsbook.

My winning rate placing bets from unfamiliar leagues? Not good. Smiley

This NCAA league is one of my favorites btw, eye balling the rate at which baskets are made boom you have an average and can predict average totals being over or under... among those I don't watch but enjoy.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Interviews] with sport gamblers on: February 29, 2024, 04:40:24 PM
Take your time for answers to these questions, invite your friends to take part in this interview, leave a comment or a suggestion!!!

Below a series of questions, feel free to answer all or only part ...

1. When and why did you become interested in gambling // gambling with crypto currency?
When..let's just say can't remember but why I got into crypto gambling was because I wanted to grow my crypto portfolio faster, but gambling being gambling things don't go as expected.

2. What is your opinion about this forum section (gambling / gambling discussion)?
Compared to what I have seen on other forums, I honestly think we are far much better than most forums and the best part is most major sports have a dedicated thread and knowledgeable users on these sports too.

3. Are you still gambling with FIAT money? What are the pros/cons for gambling with crypto/bitcoin?
Once in a while I do play with fiat but having gone crypto the benefits are major...I don't get to pay high processing fees from the card processor, no prying eyes of transactions on bank statements etc

4. What is your best and your worst result from gambling activity?
Best results is winning a bet that I wanted to wager on from a small odd to a big odd and this turned out to be a Winner.

Worst result is betting on 1.05 odds and got to lose and ever since I don't like such low odds.

5. Did you feel craving for betting? Have you ever had a gambling addiction? What is your maximum tipe without bet?
I do read alot of gambling stories  from success, failures, addiction etc and knowing the negative effects of gambling I always find ways to break any possibilities of me getting hooked.

6. What is your favorite field for betting? What is your "common bet" (likewise over 2.5, both team score... etc)
Hate betting on football but favourite field has to be the overs and unders because they are highly rewarding. Common bet- Odd or Even.

7. Did you will recommend anyone to gamble?
If you aren't gambling don't start!

8. Have you ever bet against your "favorite team"?
Several times, a good gambler doesn't use emotions if  winning is the agenda.

9. Did you think gambling is an hobby or a job?
Hobby....

10. Would you have the same commitment even without the signatures?
IRL whatever I make that's for my personal use for family and friends, for crypto this is where I have asome breathing room to play with the funds.

11. Tell me something that you would see in gambling forum section or a new option that is still missing from bookmakers

12. What you think are the most useful gambling topics and why
Let's just say didn't users will find different threads to be useful, for this I say all are useful.
428  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does Technical Analysis Really Work? on: February 29, 2024, 11:47:24 AM
I am seeking the opinion of the experienced and voicing my opinion.

I think if a training is 100% for learning, 1% of it is technical analysis and the rest 99% is psychological games..Because I have been learning and trading technical analysis for a long time but mostly I lose.
Retail trading is a whole different ball game especially that most traders want to be overnight millionaires, and btw there is a whole lot of stuff that goes on to be a profitable trader!
Are you trading with money you can afford to lose?? There is a saying " if you can't buy it twice then you can't afford it" and I believe in this saying because if you are trading and you are always thinking about where you will need to get your next funds to fund your account then it will negatively affect your psychological...so to be  profitable it's actually 1% Skill and 99% Patience.. reason for this is that people have the skill but what fails them mostly is the FOMO---lack of patience!!! If traders can work on their patience, I believe everything will be okay.



I don't have any psychological knowledge about trading. Looking for expert opinion on psychological mind set.
For a change of mindset, practice more to have more confidence in your strategy and know how to manage your trades.

430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: February 28, 2024, 09:29:51 PM
Manchester United failing to break down a Nottingham forest side that looks determined to spoil the Red devils night,and from what am seeing they are actually looking more dangerous than the visitors...not sure if them playing away has a psychological effect but not impressed with what am seeing tbh... could this be because they don't have Hojlund as their top man to make things happen in the goal scoring department, otherwise United not impressive without him. Btw today Onana does look sharp and credit should go where it's due Wink

Superb game for Haaland and De Bruyne yestarday.
The opponent was weak for sure but they did great.

When De Bruyne is having a good day and providing for the strikers, be assured goals will be produced and we saw this happen for Halaad who we thought was still finding his form and yesterday could have unlocked that missing piece.

432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling on: February 28, 2024, 06:54:00 PM
Has gambling been set illegal in your place and due to how much you and friends love to gamble, you would just think of a unique activity that you can play even in the public and people would never suspect it that there is stake placed in the game?
I would probably have found crypto to gamble with 👌

Re: Have you & friends thought of engaging on any unfamiliar activity for gambling

The closest thing I could think of... is playing card games among friends and because our team wanted to win so badly we could find ways to make ourselves win by drawing the needed card for a teammate to guarantee  the win, but away from a friendly table game... definitely don't do this as the consequences could be bad to the extent of losing deposits and the alike.



433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Support, do not criticize. on: February 28, 2024, 02:34:23 PM
If you know anybody trying to stop the addiction of gambling to become better for themselves and their family, try and show them support by not criticizing them.
Trying to snap out of this vice of gambling addiction is a long process which relies on support from family & friends, but as humans I honestly think criticism will always be there and what counts is it being positive and not negative...besides there is always going to be that person that wants to be negative about everything and it's these people you want to avoid.


If you observe that they experience some kind of relapse and go back to gamble even when they said they were not going to gamble, try to encourage them to remember why they wanted to stop gambling for the time.
Fighting gambling addiction has to start with you first, if we are going to expect others to do it for us but don't want to put in the effort then am afraid all this will be for nothing!! And AFAIK for as long as the will power is there, not even the negative critiques can stop this as change begins with you.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: February 28, 2024, 12:53:06 PM
Intoxication, full of emotions, frustrations etc are a proven recipe for failure and this isn't exclusive to gambling!! And these named factors above and in the OP can negatively affect your daily lives, be it at work, driving , trading etcetera and you don't want to be stubborn to try to prove a point that you can do it, buddy swallow your pride before you lose your money 💰.

CONCLUSION
Gambling should be fun, it's better to stay away when it has started to become a problem.
Agreed, which why they say winners know when to stop and when to stop... once you crack the edge to stay off gambling then you will be fine.

435  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: betcoin.ag - can`t log in can`t withdraw deposit on: February 28, 2024, 07:34:20 AM
they are crooks and will continue to cheat as there is no control. Curacao is the wild west Grin
If you followed this conversation going on here, this case was resolved in favour of OP who got his BTC and never changed thread to [Resolved] after getting his coins.

But since I see you call them crooks, if you have an issue you could open a scam accusation of your own to try get things resolved, good luck.

@holydarkness great moderating of this case 👌 , you deserve an applause  Cool
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BC.Game 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: February 27, 2024, 09:32:06 PM
Fuck you Haaland, i play the freehit when you play against Luton for Premeir LEague and you do nothing, and now for FA you score 5!!!!!! goals, incredible.

Halaad at this point is a risky asset to own especially that he hasn't got his confidence back in the EPL and this is usually what happens after a player gets a knock...but with that 5 goals on his tab, it will be interesting to see how the next games go, and Manchester United are next in line and I fear for them for what's to come Roll Eyes

Btw, I think missing  out on best points using the freehit is better than missing out on maximising on getting more points after many team managers  used the triple captain which didn't get the best results..but the next games will be interesting for this lad.

Hi Megapari, am currently enjoying the markets you have on the sportsbook but I run into a problem of waiting for betslips to be processed which seems to take for ever to be settled... Thought this affected smaller competitions(leagues) but unfortunately this goes as far as the big competitions such as the premier League which I believe we have room to do better...tried to speak with support and response not pleasing to read!! Hope something can be done about this...





@admin - this is a Bitcoin forum and every other bookies here uses $BTC (fiat exchange rate is making it difficult for non-europeans. )  Grin
Not an admin, but there is a loophole here, they could easily say €20 worth of BTC or other cryptocurrencies  Grin Hope this works Sherrif 🚨👮🚔

440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: February 26, 2024, 09:43:34 PM
Let's just say when it comes to influencers, generally their following is of mixed followers from newbie's to pro gamblers..
 and the fact that some users aren't influenced by these streamers could mean you aren't the target market simple as that .

But personally considering am still learning my slot game, so once in a while I do enjoy seeing how these guys handle their bad and good runs , otherwise I treat all this strictly for entertainment purposes!!
If am not mistaken,these guys do put disclaimers to their content which tells you to do your due diligence and not follow them blindly.
