4561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Sport Has Many Gambling Supporters (State Your Opinion) on: September 04, 2019, 06:24:47 AM
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world, so I think more money are going to that kind of game.
Here's the list that I found.

https://sportsshow.net/top-10-most-popular-sports-in-the-world/

Top 3 are - Soccer / Association Football , Cricket, and Basketball.

Me, I bet on basketball most of the time as this is my favorite game, and I also played it.
Usually people bet on games that they really like as sports betting is really fun.

Don't sleep on the Denver team. They are silent but they are very deadly, they are up there with SA, Blazers, Lakers, Clippers, Warriors. Also, don't underestimate the one year experience added to Jokic and the whole team. 

I have my favorite team but I also like Denver, however, I don't see them beating the favorites this season.
Jokic alone can't give them success in the playoffs, we've seen enough in the last playoffs, Blazers were successful against them because they have a lot of scorers compared to Denver. Also, Jokic already scored his usual scoring, but not enough to help his team, he need someone who is reliable enough to help him score, Blazers had Damian Lillard, CJ, and Kanter (paying with injury), but they can't beat the team.

Binance Acquires Seychelles-Based Crypto-Asset Trading Platform JEX

https://cointelegraph.com/news/binance-acquires-seychelles-based-crypto-asset-trading-platform-jex

Binance, the world’s largest exchange by trading volume, has acquired JEX, a crypto-asset trading platform that offers spot and derivatives trading services.

Great news for Binance, and something to watch on the future effect of this acquisition.
It seems like they are very serious in dominating in the crypto exchange industry, they want to be in the number position consistently.

They want restrict US traders accets to exchange on 12th September as I heard. It seems they will lost a huge traffic. Why they are doing this if they are not based in USA?

This is for regulatory compliance, no company would restrict users when they can make huge profit from this, except for the reason mentioned.
And this is the full news.  https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/14/binance-begins-to-restrict-us-customers/

everyone has the ability in their respective fields, provided there is an intention to learn and keep trying can certainly know how to play gambling games techniques. all need process and experience, so there's no way we can win all the time there must be a time of loss.
Winning all the time can't happen. We can win for so many times but there would always be an ending for it. The learnings that you can get as you gamble can be applied in the future depending on how you'll take that lesson.

Other gamblers that can see the success of others think if there's a secret within their success but in reality there's none. We know in gambling, it's more of a hit and miss so if you are lucky, you'll hit it but it's not a secret.
We don't need to win all the time because that's impossible, but winning most of the time is doable, that's the gamblers needs to achieve if they want to be successful in their journey as a gambler. This requires a lot of planning, and this includes bankroll management which is the most important, and be consistent with the pick while continue to be discipline going forward as in that journey, you might face a lot of upsets and disappointment but when you are discipline, you'll be able to properly carry out the game plan, no matter what will happen.

Beverley and Iggy, what a combination in defense. It will be great if they acquire him.
Kawhi, Iggy and Beverly have a same quality of skills they are all a big threat both defensively and offensively, signing Iggy will be a good move for Clippers, they are aiming for much higher chances for this season together with Kawhi they also need a backup support with a star quality skills which
is entitled describing Iggy, with Zubac, Harrell,George, and Williams  it's an interesting team to watch out.

Doc Rivers needs to build good chemistry  and allow the team to form a solid teamwork  with good ball rotations.

Oh I almost forgot, I only pointed Iggy and Beverley as defensive players while their stars are really the best of it.
Yes, Kawhi and PG13 are one of the best defensive units in NBA and Kawhi already won the defensive player of the year.

The Clippers team will be like a wall to the Lakers but let us not forget also about Denver.
3 teams are now the crowd favorite. Clippers, Lakers and Bucks.
They are forgetting about what Denver Nuggets did last season.
Their defense is also one of the best and it will be great to see them head to head against the Clippers team.

Forget about Denver, they are still the same team but we know what they are capable in the playoffs, they got beaten by the Blazers which was swept by the Warriors in the WCF, so they are not counted as one of the best team to have a chance to win in the NBA finals.
4566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Overall winning - Dice on: August 30, 2019, 04:08:23 AM
My dice stats = negative but not much since I dont play dice game too much. I play dice game when I get bored with other games that I like to play such as slots, poker and plinko.
I have once won big from dice game when I was hunting for 9900x as I hit it less than 1000 bets since I started hunting, at the end lose it all because I tried to hunt lower payout with bigger bet but unlucky I did not hit my target.
I guess this is not just about our luck because the longer we play the more our chance of winning decreases, well, this is gambling, regardless of the house edge, even if it's too small, there's no way we can win in the long run, and even if we use different strategy as no strategy would work in dice.

I can't deny that I also get hooked in this game when I was still a newbie, but later realize that if I want to take gambling seriously I need to choose a game that is not solely base on luck.

Unfortunately they don't have as they have limited players, they are sending their best players from the PBA which the recent conference just ended this month. Their lack of preparation could be one of the factors that will make them loss in this biggest teams in FIBA, but as long as they fight to win, that will already make Filipinos proud as they already understand they have a very slim chances to win against any team in their bracket.

And PH people not even expecting for a win so not a disappointment at all if ever they will fail on the run. A single win is already a big achievement.

Honestly, I want to put some at PH this upcoming Saturday against Italy. I hope odds will be @3 above lol. Not checking it yet.

You'll get better than that odds and hope you'll bet and good luck.
As mentioned by Distinctin , odds was x13 .. I'm trying to access the site now, but I can't, it seems like they are on a maintenance now.

A small bet would do, that x13 odds can still be increase if he will use a price boost in spotsbet. (checking now, I will get 14.20 with price boost)
here's the betting line, https://sportsbet.io/sports/event/basketball/international/fiba-world-cup/philippines-italy-5d5a95cbf2a829e6af592614
4568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guys started to gambling with cryptos or fiat money? on: August 30, 2019, 03:22:25 AM
I guess its fine gambling online using fiat only if youre using trusted and high ranked gambling websites. Gambling using crypto would be fine too, but there were also KYC verifications most specially if youre gambling with massive amount. Now, if you have high concern regarding the security of your idendtity, then use trusted and tested websites.

I think KYC doesn't depend on the amount you have.

There are a lot of gambling sites out there that don't really require KYC and even if you have a massive amount of money to gamble, you can do that without sending your information in their site. For me, it is better to gamble using cryptocurrency since you don't need to confirm it to the bank when you will be transacting it and no one will know that you are gambling your crypto.

Those sites who requires KYC suddenly when you win a big amount, they are a shady gambling sites, unless that's stated in their terms of service.
I know there are a lot of gambling in the space with big bankroll, and I haven't seen any scam accusation that was not solve on big and popular gambling sites, that means they are operating properly and they are keeping their reputation clean.
4569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PlanetOfBets Added More Games to the Virtual Sport Section on: August 29, 2019, 06:14:18 AM
One of my early gambling site outside crypto, though this site started to accept bitcoin but I was already playing in other sites.
I suggest they create an announcement thread in this forum so they can attract more gamblers in their platform.

Still the same old design, I miss this site, I might start trying this again.

How about the withdrawal processing of this site, Is it already instant now?
4570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Overall winning - Dice on: August 29, 2019, 05:54:50 AM
Overall winning means consistency, I think we can only win this if we are lucky enough and once in our journey as a gambler, we all have our lucky days, so let's use our luck in that situation to maximize our profit. Since this type of game has a house edge, I would not expect to win actually, and although I have some winning moments in the past, it's not too big that excites me, I just enjoyed my winnings spending it and then back again to losing moments, in short I have more losing moments than winning moments and therefore my overall performance is negative.
The case will go more worse in the long term because the losses keep compounding and the total loss in long term will be very huge for a common gambler.So OP you are not anything differ from the gamblers and only you have to decide whether to continue gambling with the losses or just skip and look for other way to make money.
Dice is definitely not the best game if you are looking for an overall profit, this is a luck based game, it's hard to win consistently in the long run.
I enjoyed a lot of gambling type in the space but dice is not a game I like to focus, I play and just enjoy, I have some lucky times but that's lesser compared to the times I loss, so I learn a lesson to not focus on this site, instead I look for games that I can develop my skills, and games like sports betting, poker falls under that category.
4571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What withdrawal fee do you consider as fair in gambling sites? on: August 29, 2019, 04:55:54 AM
I think, withdrawal fee should be based on the amount you want to withdraw and shouldn't be fixed.
That's not fair for those who have big withdrawals as well, the blockchain process transaction regardless of the amount and you just choose the fee you want to pay, the site knows that, usually they pay a fix blockchain fee that's why they also charge a fix fee regardless of the amount of withdrawal but they charge higher because they also make money on people who like to regularly withdraw.

Andy Ruiz Jr vows to retire Anthony Joshua with victory in rematch


Now this guy talks like Thurman, I don't like the way he underestimated his opponent, he beat him once but I don't think he will still have the same luck in the rematch. I don't know if fans will buy his comment, I know he is just trying to sell the fight, but this one is a big fight already and I believe this rematch is a better one compared to the last since we will have a different winner in this fight.
4573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I don't know how to trust a gambling site nowadays! on: August 23, 2019, 07:14:48 PM
They have some gambling sites who are giving bonus with the first deposit of their players and only small amount of dollars and that is ñegit and if you hear something is they giving big bonus it is something not good so don't try to make any deposit to avoid losing your capital in gambling. More gambling sites are legit and they did not require KYC personally I did not play who implementing KYC.
KYC is only happening now and not really practiced before. There are a lot of gambling sites that are still not requiring KYC but still considered as a legit one. And there are really newly launched gambling sites today that are even offering big bonuses which is something that we should doubt about. I think with all this newly sites coming out, it would be better to study first the said gambling sites and know its background before you decide gambling to it.
4574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the best gambling games originally from Asia? on: August 23, 2019, 07:04:17 PM
I feel Asians are better with awkward games, so you should not compare a country that deals with technology, and almost all games are online based to a country that keeps on promoting weird games. I am always surprised on how a game like cock fighting can be so celebrated among the Asians and this is really funny.

I am a great fan of adventure and I like to try out things but cock fighting is one thing I would never do, it seems to me like an abuse on the animals and in my country it’s an offense. Knowing that is a country’s most famous and most celebrated game is something that pisses me off and I will not be wrong to say that Asians have the worst kind of games.
I am sure you are not very familiar with Asian games, you probably only heard of cockfight and it gave you reasons to dislike them, the game is actually very interesting, though I have never been where it is played but I have seen a video clip and I found it quite interesting. No wonder they say, one man’s food is another man’s poison.

It might not be suitable for you because of your cultural believe but that is not a good reason to write it off, or speak ill of the game. The players and those from the region enjoy their game and that is the most important thing.

Moreover, Asians are blessed with so many beautiful and interesting games both online and offline and the best of them all is Baccarat and paigow.
There are huge number of other games as well as you said Asia has good name in gambling all over that world. Cockfight is good and famous game that people use to bet on and most of the time it used to happen in village areas in my village once i saw a cockfight and it was so amazing I really enjoyed watching it live.
Yes cockfighting is a good example of it. Not just in villages but even in city areas its also played by most of the people. This game is really fun and has also good chances to make profits especially if you are the one holding a braver cock. Mahjong is also a famous game played by most of the asians and even when i was young, i have really experienced playing this one which is also very fun.
4575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did you ever won a huge amount on gambling? on: August 22, 2019, 08:48:45 AM
My biggest win was at Bitstarz Casino 3 or 4 years ago.
I deposited 0.2 BTC and won 11BTC.
The BTC price at this time was arround 450$.
I played in the following weeks and months at the same casino and lost all of my winnings. Roll Eyes

Wow!
11BTC! That's a lot of Bitcoin.
I doubt if it's possible to win this amount in recent gambling sites. I guess its because BTC price was low them.  One will be damn lucky if they are able to win 2BTC in one game at a stretch.
I would have given it a long break before playing again if I were you; they indirectly collected back the winnings  Grin


That's a lot of BTC but just a small amount since that was 4 years ago.
Now, it's different, I don't even a typical gambler would be willing to risk a whole BTC for gambling because that's equivalent to $10,000 already.

Things are different in the past, if he was able to keep his BTC until now, that 11 BTC might change his life, well, for me, it will change for sure since 11 BTC is equivalent to $110,000, and I'll become a millionaire if converted in our local currency.

The betting industry is growing
I agree with that, we can see the improvement as there's  a lot of gambling sites that are operating in the space now.

and people now bring many opportunities for people to gamble and make money.
But I would definitely disagree with you on this, gambling is an opportunity to earn but not for us, only for those who own a gambling site, our opportunity here is not to make money but to get the entertainment, that's the reality.
4577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling habits that will cost you on: August 22, 2019, 07:13:48 AM
He has but I don't agree with all, in fact I only agree the first advice which is not to chase our loses because I have experience many times that every time I loss control and got emotional, I always do chase but it also end up losing most of the time.

Discipline is really the most important thing, without it, we will never be safe in gambling.

Actually for me its just a facts, though you can always set back once again and start all over again you don't have to agree with those in the first place,... Besides it is up to you whether you'll follow necessary things to avoid losing or set your goals and head for your goal even it has so many risks.

The thing is when you chase your loses, you are probably losing control in gambling, and once you loss control, you for sure will not be able to properly initiate your strategy, and that's not gonna bring much success. Of course you can start again, but what if you already loss your total bankroll, get aggressive, deposit again, and risk the money that you aren't suppose to gamble, that's what chasing your loses can do sometimes.
4578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is parlay an effective betting strategy? on: August 19, 2019, 07:00:38 AM
I've never won any bet using parlay  Grin, I stopped and it's much better to focus on single bets that have a good ratio and you have a knowledge about the game
LOL, in gambling, you will only prove a thing until you try it, parlay offers great return but it's not as easy as we think.
As for me, I still find it fun, because I have won many times but I don't want to compare my loses betting in parlay as I'm pretty sure i'll end up negative.
This strategy is good for fun only, so let's just keep it that way, if we want to have consistency to fulfill our long term mission, avoid this method.
4579  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Almost all the altcoins in red again! on: August 16, 2019, 05:01:31 AM
Altcoins along with bitcoin has been experiencing a massive fall in the value with the entire market turning red. This is much an expected fall, and it doesn't seem to be a manipulated or just because of the whales Play. There will be price crashes before big price pumping. I see the current market completely red as an indication of bigger growth.
There was, but bitcoin now is slowly recovering and unfortunately it was not able to influence the movement of altcoins to follow.
During the last correction, bitcoin dropped 80% of its price from its ATH price but this year, BTC started a consistent recovery, reducing the dropped to now at 48% only, this is good though this will not everyone happy as BTC needs to have a new ATH to satisfy everyone who both at any price.

Altcoins is not recovering yet but it does not mean it will not in the long run, this is the nature of the market, it's very unpredictable and sometimes our expectation fails, but we don't have to loss patience here, we just continue to hold until the right time  will come.

Bad news for cousins and the Lakers, we've seen his value when his healthy and the more he experience more injuries, that will slowly take his confidence from him which he might not give his full potential.

The market value of a player depends on the overall performance in the past, but the management also considers if a player is prone to injury and cousins is, because he was already injured many times, but even wit that said, I'm also hoping for his fast recovery so he can do his passion again.
