I don't care what these people say. They don't add anything to my budget nor they add anything to my gambling expenses. They can paint a bad image of me but I won't really say anything since I'm funding everything with my own pocket. Besides, they won't really hurt my reputation since my finances are always in check, and I know that I am not a troubled gambler. I know when to quit and I know when to stop. They can judge, but they can't really alter the truth.

It maximizes their platform to offer almost all of the gambling categories. It helps them to get all the customers they can get, and in turn, players don't have to go to other places if they want to play casino or bet on sports. For us gamblers, it reduces the need to transfer funds between different platforms. We simply have to switch within the games in that casino and everything is done for us.

Sometime along the way, I'm sure that a lot of other casinos will soon convert into a full-on gambling house with sports betting being offered. It's the way forward and for them to maximize their profits as well.

Being banned in the casino is the least of your concern here. Public wifis have become inherently dangerous due to a multitude of possible exploits and attacks malicious people can employ while you are using the said network. Also, I think you are good if you hop into a different IP, so long as the IP is in the same country. As for IP sharing, they simply just disallow any subsequent connections or just disconnect the first connection once they detect that players are using the same IP.

He's certainly lucky that he has someone that he knows by his side when that thing happened. I mean, I wouldn't want that to happen to me that's for sure, but given that I'm always alone, I think it's time for me to have regular check-ups to ensure that I'm not at risk of being at that situation. Everyone should, it's just that people aren't prioritizing health that much thinking that doctors can magically cure them of any disease when the time comes.

You degenerates should also consider getting physical and medical check-ups every once in a while. Gambling is fun, sure, but you can't have fun when you're crippled or you're dead.

Lots of ETFs have been presented and rejected over the years and we are still posting good gains year over year. ETFs are not the only ones defining the trend on bitcoin prices as there are always other factors entailed to it. Also, with lots of approval in the past years, I'm pretty sure those who applied recently have checked the boxes that other applicants prior have failed to check. As I see it, there isn't anything that is getting in the way of ETFs to be approved, just the SEC or their counterparts on other countries.

I have built budget trackers for years, and one thing I love doing is overestimating how much my expenses will be so that I will be holding on to it religiously and not dare overspend. Whatever's left by the end of the month gets carried over to the next month or straight down to my savings. If my budget for the month is $3000, I make sure that I put in $2800 in there and just leave $200 'extra' that goes directly into savings. I try to envision the 'worst-case scenario' for my utilities and bills, and honestly that saves me a lot of money as it prevents me from spending extra money and thinking that I still have a lot to work with.


I agree with this. I used online trackers and created notion templates or used mobile apps but it didn't do well for me. Spreadsheets, however, made me have a huge control over tracking and made me really dig deeper into how much I'm saving, and over time I added some more cool features to it like getting the percentage of how I spent month-on-month and see whether I'm saving more or saving less as the year progresses. It helps you get extra aware of how your money is flowing and where is it heading compared to apps that gives you pre-defined templates and cannot edit it based on what features you are thinking to add.

Answer: neither.

Physical casinos are a lot more dangerous to your budget than you think. ATMs are widely accessible, and there are people out there who offer to buy your gadgets or even your car if you get desperate to get some funds. In online casinos, only your debit card is at stake, as most of the gambling platforms out there have already stopped accepting credit cards for deposits. At the end of the day, it is your capacity to avoid the temptation of going over your budget. The sensation of needing to get back your loss is always strong no matter which platform you play on.

Owning real estate properties is only good if you are swimming in cash and are looking for properties to buy that can hold its value for a long time. If you aren't really that much of a deep pocket, buying real estate is not for you, and so REIT was introduced. This removes all the liabilities and risk from you and passes it over to a company that manages these properties and are looking for investors to develop these properties. In turn, whatever profit they generated, they share with you depending on your share of the pot. Lots of middle-class people can easily be a part of this but chooses not to as they choose spending over investing, unfortunately.

Even with the overall positive gain from REITs, it still can't outperform bitcoin or crypto for that matter. The only difference is, you carry 100% of the risk, and you don't have other people guiding you with your investments. It's just you and you alone. This isn't so bad after all, considering that even if you encountered crashes while holding your bitcoin, there is a high possibility that you will regain the value of your coins eventually.

It's good to follow how the rich generates money. Then again, these people are already loaded and have a lot of freedom to choose whichever income-generating asset they want to hold, unlike us people who are looking to get something out of our meager salaries or savings.

Lotteries are a no-go in the crypto gambling scene. A lot of people will argue that the game will be rigged and there is no way to confirm its legality, nor the authenticity and integrity of every draw. There had been lots of similar ideas in the past that simply didn't work out because the community understands that this is not something that is going to work nor win them money.

People will certainly stick to casino games though, as they think that these platforms are legitimate enough to not on them of their money due to their licensing and all those kinds of stuff. There are no guarantees of winning on casinos either, but the odds of people winning on them is kinda high compared to lotteries.

Pacquiao has been wanting to get a fight for years, and it's only in Mayweather that he wants to get that itch scratched. If it's an exhibition game, I'm pretty sure these two will still not hold back and just get it done with. My money is on Pacquiao with this one, even though we know Floyd is just so good in defense. Hopefully this materializes and we have something to watch in the summer.

A noble suggestion, but as someone who has used altcoins during these congestions and still get to convert my coins to btc afterwards, I think it wouldn't be necessary. Not that I'm against LN or layer 2 in general, but if altcoins work quite well when btc is having a lot of problems due to network congestion, the effort to add LN functionality in the deposit/withdrawals will just be wasted. That resource could have been funneled elsewhere that helps the whole player base experience rather than catering to a select few that wants this to get done.

Also, even with the high fees, there's not a lot of people who are using LN anyways.

Gamblers are seen as someone who have deep pockets. This is so because most of the influencers that stream their games often win, hence the connotation that there are a lot of gamblers that also win a lot on their games. There are still some negative connotations when it comes to gamblers, but currently our communities hold them as somewhat 'financially capable' because they have the money to blow on such things. It's pretty weird, but that's what it is here.

Casimero should not aim for another Inoue fight any time soon but rather just get a lot more experience in his current weight division. Get matched with different prime fighters, be comfortable with the weight division, then challenge Inoue. The Japanese seemed to be staying in this weight class, too, although there aren't many fighters left for him to conquer. Hopefully Casimero and his team gets level-headed and not change for revenge immediately but rather, strengthen their fighter further. An Inoue fight is a big paycheck, but certainly not a good record if you are on the losing side.

It's a very subjective question. No one can answer that on your behalf, and you can't answer that on other's behalf as well. Other people might feel the euphoria for days or even weeks, and others might feel that same feeling for only a few minutes. It's just entirely different for different people, and there's not a definitive way to know or measure that exactly.

It's still a gambling game through and through. You are risking something in the hopes of gaining something in return. You are playing with chances to get the profit, and the odds are also always in favor of the house which are always stacked against you. You can't categorize it any other way, as you cannot treat this as an investment because you are always guaranteed to lose, and you are not owning a piece of something to get the return. It's a simple gambling game, and I guess that's just it.

That Rolls-Royce car can be an investment in itself. Those cars can fetch to millions of dollars more than their original value if kept properly for a long time. I'm sure your friend (if he really exists) is well-off, enough to purchase that car without regard with his future. Also, most of the younger generations right now are impulsive and based their purchase decisions with their emotions. If you made your move in giving him some advice, I think that's enough already. If he moves forward with these decisions, you have no liability with the consequences at all.

I guess at this point, if college is a no-go for most people, the funds that they could have used to that route could be diverted to them learning skills or trades that will further their careers. While a degree may not always be necessary to apply for jobs in the future, some classes are still needed in order to 'formally' learn the techniques of a certain skill. This pushes your skill level a bit which makes you hireable than the others, and it wouldn't happen if you haven't taken those classes.

Keeping some bitcoin funds is a good way to potentially secure your future. Then again, it is not free from volatility and crashes so you shouldn't bet your 100% to it. At least, diversify your savings and keep a bulk of bitcoin if that's how you want to play your game.

Played with them before and even joined their signature campaign at some point. If they locked their thread, that just means that they are going inactive or have an active scam accusation that they are trying to avoid. Best to do at this point is not try to play with them at all. Better save your money and play elsewhere that has an active discussion thread here with real individuals discussing the site.

With an enemy like Inoue, I don't think Tapales can afford himself being open and getting that knockout punch early in the round. Throwing punches means you are leaving yourself temporarily open to any counters, and it's just the right decision for him to take his time and wait for the perfect punch. I just think that he kind of overdid it and became very defensive which ultimately led to his demise. Inoue just studied him for a few rounds on how he defends and how he tries to get that distance, but man Inoue is just something else.

I'm pretty sure Tapales is okay with the result going so far as taking the bout to the distance. 10 rounds with someone who's deemed to be the best boxer in the division is no easy feat AT ALL.


Exactly. Inoue is on another level, while Tapales still needs to grind to be there but I'm pretty sure he's on his way to it. It's not a bad fight either! I enjoyed watching it live even though I know what the outcome will be. I expected worse from Tapales, but man he has the power but just not the speed that Inoue all carries.

Well, you surely have to work for it. Unfortunately, money doesn't just fall from the sky or magically appear in our bank accounts. So, if we take away all of the things you have stated then what would be left is to offer your talent or services or sell products. Essentially, you have to still invest your own work, time, and a bit of money to gain money. With how the world is going today, if you're not willing to do that then it'll either be really difficult or just straight impossible. You also have to be smart, just because you already have the money in your possession it doesn't really mean you already gained as you can only say you have gained if it is a profit meaning you are getting a positive balance and not negatives. Gaining money doesn't simply mean you have the money one day then it'll be gone the next day. Gaining means securing or increasing the amount of rate of something which in this context is money.
