I mostly play skill-based games and if we are talking about fighting boredom skill-based game is the best choice you have since every game takes a lot of time compared
to chance-based games and will require your attention and is also enjoyable if you are playing to another competitive gambler.

I think it still depends on the game you played, dice is not a skilled base games but actually there are gamblers who even gamble hours on it.
Unlike in sports betting where I can certain consider a skilled based gambling, it does take me one hour to gamble, just analyze the game and put your bet, and you don't need to watch the game as you only need to look for the final result of the game to determine if you win or lose.

I know some gamblers who are addicted does not even admit that they are addicted to gambling, they feel what they are doing is just normal so they will not submit to anything that is called cure.  Also, this is online, I think if a gambler is in serious addiction, he should be treated in  facility where there's a face to face interaction between the patient and the doctor, and also the role of the family is very crucial in this process.

I have seen some new gambling betting sites comes out this past months and i assume that this is the effect of quarantine so the gambling lords are targetting boring people in their houses to enjoy betting i guess?though i have no concrete evidence that gambling community grows with Covid19.


We will never know I guess but in general I think the gambling industry has been affected a lot.
Like for example, a land based casino like Vegas, they are making billions of money in a yearly basis, so that is a big loss now that they are stopped from operating.
4364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING: Skill-based vs. Chance-based on: May 14, 2020, 11:33:50 AM
I'm happy to see this kind of discussion, gamblers should be able to differentiate a skilled based games from a luck based games as that would make them realistic on knowing their chances if they are seeking for a win.

I play both of these, but most of the time I put my focus on skilled based games particularly on sports betting, and I am happy to where I am now though I took a break for over two months already I guess.

he always get into the top 5. Smiley

He is in good ranking but remember that its his first fight in the US, while his opponent has been fighting in different part of the world.

I would say, this is a big challenge of Inoue to prove that he is a real deal.

Looking forward... altcoins season was the most awaited for altcoins investors who are still holding their altcoins they bought during the last bull run, and they know that the only chance for these altcoins to at least rise  a bit is to see a new bull run, hopefully bitcoin will rise even more so everything will just follow.

I might need to check on this thread from time to time, I am not opening my MEW anymore but I got a lot of tokens stored their, I am waiting for the bull run to come just like you guys. When I read the title, I thought OP loss his private key, so I was thinking no solution to that.  Grin

Why crypto casinos will grow is because people does not consider it as a form of entertainment, they gamble because they want to win, and these gamblers exists even if there is a crisis, the word entertainment seems like an expense for the gamblers, they are more concern on the income side, so they will gamble because they think they can earn.
4369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Betting this June? on: May 13, 2020, 12:31:38 PM
I think this would happen, he would not be too confident saying that if he cannot make it happen.
With all the necessary measures in place, a boxing event could be possible, if they did it with UFC, it could also be possible with boxing.

I will certainly look forward to this, I've been missing betting since NBA stopped or pause the season.
4370  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Tokens (Altcoins) / Re: UTRUST on: May 13, 2020, 12:00:55 PM
True, the Utrust team is still working well and the price of the UTK token is currently very cheap, I think we need to consider this project to be included in the list of long-term investments, in addition to the team that is still actively working, Utust also has many large and growing partnerships.

Yeah, very cheap but it has a good volume now.
At this moment, some project are struggling to get a good volume, but this project has at least $1 million trading volume in all exchange its trading.

Current price is only 100 sats, while its ATH was over 8k sats,... opportunity now?
4371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Enhanced restriction in gambling casinos is it possible on: May 10, 2020, 06:58:31 AM
Of course it's possible as the casinos are always in charge to implement the measures, but the have to ensure they will not violate their own rules and go greedy because with enhance restriction, we understand that it bring the usual income the casinos are making, due to the limit of number of gamblers but if they still have to operate, they can still do it.

Also, I am thinking that if the government will approve it, this will be mean a strong punishment for violators.
4372  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: BNB vs WRX on: May 10, 2020, 06:40:16 AM
Wazrix is hosted through Binance ecosystem, also they try to implement likes binance, in wazrix exchange 50% less trading fees which was Binance marketing strategy. Binance hits in the world, but wazrix is very new platform so it’s hard to find comparison. Wazrix is still represented as a local exchange.             
It will take time for this project to surpass Binance but to be safe, I don't want to think that it will happen.
In terms of investment, both are good investment but I'll always be more aggressive with holding BNB coin than WRX.

At the current price of BNB, I can still see that there's still plenty of room to grow, BNB going to $100 is not even impossible or unlikely to happen.
4373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vaccine against Covid-19 should be made before sports events will take place? on: May 09, 2020, 12:43:49 PM
Also, the medicine to cure the infected individuals is still on trial, so it is really not smart to hold the sports event in the next coming months. If possible, wait for the health authorities to at least identify the effective set of medicines that can cure the mild-severe infected patients.
And if the cure is found or the vaccine will be discovered, do you think they will be able to reproduce it right away?
No, therefore the sports organizers or promoters can't wait until the vaccine is created for them to resume, they will have to or their business will die.
4374  Economy / Speculation / Re: Reason behind the Bitcoin price could reach $50,000 in 2020 on: May 09, 2020, 10:21:04 AM
This is normal to the crypto space, once the market is bullish, we will again see a lot of bullish prediction but what we have to do here is just to remain realistic all the time, I am not saying $50,000 isn't realistic but IMO, it's chance of being achieve is unlikely this year, I am okay with $20,000, that would be a new ATH I guess.
4375  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy every dip! on: May 09, 2020, 09:52:43 AM
My non-Bitcoin friends have started to ask me if now, "is it a good time to invest/HODL in Bitcoins". Believe it, or not, I didn't have an answer.

What should I tell them, Bitcointalk? Undecided

Tell them yes, and tell them not to panic if there is a big correction after this.
They are interested to hold so they hold make sure they can hold for a longer period of time and will not panic when the price will dump.

Also, tell them do some research, the reason why most newbie fail is because of their timing, their wrong timing instead, suppose to be this time is the time to sell not to accumulate, but they come it, they like to play the FOMO, and actually that's aright as long as they are ready to hold.
4376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is the main purpose in gambling, always to make more money? on: May 09, 2020, 08:49:27 AM
People always have the wrong expression to gambling that they always think that it is all about earning money, but it is actually not because gambling was made for fun and entertainment. People just started to spend a lot of money in gambling because they are always expexting to gain or double their profit in gambling, but it all turns out you could lose all of it.
You said it yourself,

It is actually made for fun but people tend to use it to earn money. Therefore, the main purpose of it is all about making more money and not to have fun. That is something that we can't change because it is already in the nature of a person, we tend to do easy ways to earn.

The only reason why a person wanna make it fun is because he is happy. But  try gambling when you are not happy, and have no job in times of crisis and you will find it not entertaining at all. People try their luck and so they gamble because they wanna see if their luck gives them money.

I agree with the first part. Indeed when you are broke you shouldn't gamble at all, and most of all because it simply can't be fun. If you play with small amounts, your possible wins are small too, and while it could be entertaining to win $10 in times when you were well, it's not entertaining at all in times when you need to find much more than that somewhere to survive. And, of course, gambling with big amounts when you are broke is absolutely out of the question.

When you don't have the feel to gamble, you are just like throwing your money, so it's better not to do it, don't be desperate in gambling.
The reason why we are gambling is because we like to have fun, and that is trying to win as well, without that urge, gambling will never be interesting.
4377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vaccine against Covid-19 should be made before sports events will take place? on: May 08, 2020, 11:24:28 PM
The answer depends on your situation like if a country is heavily infected by coronavirus or there aren't much covid-19 infected person in your country then the sports can be continued since the country have less infected people. Even if creating the vaccine will take months or year but the blood of the infected people who recovered from the virus can ve used to create plasma and will help those who got infected to recover.
Maybe we can just based on what will be the reaction of the US in this crisis we are at now.

For sure they are also thinking of the ways to resume boxing events despite of the pandemic that is going on, if the US which has been heavily affected by the virus will be able to host a boxing event, then other countries can certainly do the same,  provided they have some safety measures too.
4378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: WBC Explores Possibility Of Remote Scoring For Upcoming Fights on: May 08, 2020, 11:03:22 PM
Let's see how they will overcome this kind of scoring if ever they stage a fight during his pandemic.
I don't see any problem with scoring even if its online as long as people understands and accept the new system being in place.
This is just to give fights for the people during this pandemic, so I don't think people would still ask more or the normal one because this better than not being able to watch boxing at all, what the promoter has to ensure is the safety of the boxers and people involve, and this fight could take place.
4379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Play? on: May 08, 2020, 06:36:17 AM
PS: instead I'll go gamble somewhere else and hopefully after making enough profit, I'll decide on how many percentage I intend donating to not just some charity organization but the helpless fellow on the street where I reside.

That's a hard job to do, unless you are a winner in gambling,.. the reality is most of us are losing in gambling, and the casinos always wins so they are the ones who should be giving donation as they make a lot of money, whatever their system is the main intention of the gambler is just to win and if we are lucky that's the time we can think of donating our money, but like I said, it's a hard job to do.
4380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Vaccine against Covid-19 should be made before sports events will take place? on: May 08, 2020, 06:26:40 AM
I think they can resume but they have to follow a strict measures, if we are waiting for the vaccine to be produce, it will take a very long time before a sporting even will take place, if other country were able to do that, therefore it's possible to resume the event,...

I like to watch it live even if there is no fans at all if that is the only option for them to resume.
