4941  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Criteria of a good gambler on: January 16, 2023, 12:39:08 PM
Not blaming others for what happens in your life is a great thing. Many people love to complain about their life to others as if they didn't create the situation themselves.

Anyway, I think a good gambler is the one that uses exactly the amount of money they figured it good to be destined for gambling, and nothing more.

Note that in some cases that amount might be zero, making a good gambler a non-gambler, paradoxically.
This is an accurate definition of a good gambler. Someone who takes responsability for their acts and won't cause any prejudice to others because of his own actions. Besides gamblers who blame others for bad situations they face in life, there are also those gamblers who steal money from close people or even strangers on the street in order to maintain their gambling routine. This gambler's category is the worst in my opinion, because they can completely screw up someone else's life, especially if the person is emotionally connected to the gambler and can't take severe action against him.
I agree with this argument. Some people are very addicted to gambling like its some illness. They cant stop themselves gambling their wealth away. It is very unhealthy for that specific person and also their surroundings. Good gambler must be a person with self control. Otherwise what is the point of making money even?
In my humble opinion people should calculate how much money they will use and how much money will return back to gambling. By this way they can limit themselves pretty nicely.

I can say from personal experience that a good gambler is a person when is capable of quitting when he sees that a strike of bad luck has hit him,if a gambler cannot do this then he really is not a good gambler and all other criteria that follows are irrelevant if you don't have this which is also called self control.

In my last session I saw that I got the bonus round in my favorite slot machine three times after losing (getting bonus round once every 220-300 spins) and not winning anything from it,since three times the bonus round did not gave me anything I took the force to quit despite this being a painful action for me,that is what decisive action is called.

For tonight sounds like an easy game for Cadiz which is playing at home against Elche,an opponent who has clearly lost all reasons why they should continue to fight as a team with many consecutive lost games which is most likely going to relegation during this year.The odd is great for Cadiz at 1.95 which is playing at home and is in much better shape lately with much better results with their culmination in achieving to beat Valencia and getting some other draws so vital to fight to get out of relegation,these are three extremely important points for them to leave without getting.

Of course the second computer which is a beast is better but I think depending on what is inside that HP desktop it can sure be a great PC which can run what you are asking for,if that HP has an Intel Core i7 of 3rd or 4th generation coupled with a 16 GB of Ram and a fast SSD I think there is nothing that it can't run from the nodes.

I would go for the recommended specifics but if something below those specifics can do the job then there is no sense in the extra spending for doing the same job.

Roma made a great win yesterday night and Dybala was the star of that game by scoring 2 goals and dominating the game completely.Of course their job was made easy when the defender of Fiorentina got a red card early in the game which completely impacted Fiorentina way of playing.

Atalanta made a tennis result game yesterday night by scoring 8 goals for them and conceding 2 which is a game with 10 goals in the Serie A and I as a long follower of it for many years I don't remember when it was the last time this kind of result happened.

I also did bet on Benfica vs Sporting on both teams to score but I did so because I saw the majority of the bets for this game in the Stake newly added feature which allows you to see how other people have bet and there everyone had both teams to score this game in their parlays,I placed it a single bet and won.

Unfortunately that Braga vs Boavista both teams to score didn't come through as Boavista really could not play well and was confined while Braga completely dominated the game,Braga I think are the most in form team in this league and they are becoming a real threat now to Benfica.

Finally yesterday I was happy to see someone with over 24 million lottery tickets winning the first prize,I am very happy about this because I have been saying this a lot of times here,the people with the more number of tickets should be in advantage compared to the number of people with low number of tickets and up until now people with the low number of tickets have been taking the first prize here most of the weeks.

I know that it has been explained to me several times why the people with low number have higher chances because they are more in number than those with huge amount of tickets but don't you just love it when some with a huge amount wins the first prize,this to me is an inspiration  Grin.
4947  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: January 16, 2023, 08:07:58 AM
I bought a small amount of FUN tokens when Freebitco.in launched this back in the day, but I have not kept track of it's progress and I have never continued using the wheel spin feature, because I did it a lot of times ...and constantly hit about 50 Sat/spin.  Roll Eyes

I was glad, when I heard that the FUN token could be used at other casinos too, which gives it more utility and a reason to buy more. At this stage, it is less effort for me to have a fixed deposit at a Bank at a higher ROI... than investing in FUN tokens and having to spin a wheel of fortune for 1000s of spins to get a few Satoshis.  Roll Eyes

That is an added benefit as a Premium member which you become as soon as you get 2500 FUN in the balance at Freebitco.in and I think FUN has other benefits also,you can lock them for one year to get 25% APY for them and since you don't care much about following how they are doing I think it would be a very good idea to lock them as once the lock period ends you get a nice additional amount of FUN tokens for free (of course depending on your number of FUN) held in the site.

The daily spins can increase your Satoshis,Reward points and lottery tickets to better prepare you for the weekly lottery let's say as an example.

I don't know where you bet on this but I was scrolling through all participants and they were all beautiful so I would not know how to place odds for such beautiful women.Secondly as already mentioned here this event can easily be rigged by judges if there were only judges votes to be taken into consideration and even if they would involve public from all over the world to vote,this can also be influenced with the right tools so I would never bet on any of such events,maybe just little money for fun but never would I bet a serious amount in any of such contests.
4949  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who's your biggest gainer so far ? ( Last 7 days ) on: January 15, 2023, 10:10:18 PM
My biggest gainers were also the coins that I am mining,of course when a coin is mineable and is being mined by many people there are a lot of fluctuations but since the increase in price of Bitcoin to over 21.000 at a certain point it also increased all coins,and personally for me Zilliqa got an 24% increase and near the same amount of percentage increase got also EtherereumPoW,these coins I am dual mining them and I love the ability to get "free" Zilliqa coins by dual mining,they are just an added bonus.

For other alts I only have Litecoin and Shiba Inu which also both got a nice increase in value.I don't have any other alts right now,well I have FUN tokens but that stays stable and did not move much.

I don't know what PSG is doing lately but losing 2 games in 3 played does not look that well and even in the game at home against Angers,a team in the end of the standings they had difficulties scoring more goals comparing the team quality of PSG.Don't get me wrong,I am sorry for the people who bet on PSG but I am also happy for the Ligue 1 which is slow-slow gradually being open again,many of the following teams like Lens,Marseille,Lille,Monaco and Rennes are showing somewhat of a good consistency which in turn can help this league to become interesting again after being lately dominated by PSG.

Congratulations to Barcelona for winning the Spanish cup this season, we all know how devastating the early stage of this competition was for Barcelona.

But they managed to finish strong and also winning the trophy this season Madrid tried all their possible best to equalize the goal but Barcelona players already build up a strong defence.

They fully deserved it as they were in a much better day than Real Madrid was.They crushed Real Madrid early in the first half and that gave them the needed boost in confidence to continue playing that good and going up to 0-3 at a certain point while Real Madrid only managed to score in the 90th minute of the game.

I think this also shows that is going to be very difficult for Real Madrid this year in the title fight against Barcelona,Barcelona is clearly in a much better shape and consistency in their games.This makes more value when we think that when Barcelona started this La Liga they did not start in the right way.

Another rumor for F1
The intent for the next season is to reduce the usage of tires.
They want to give fewer tires to drivers over the weekend.

And a change in the usage of tires.


The intention is to change the qualify with 3 the normal session but.

Q1 must be with the hard compound
Q2 must be with the medium compound
Q3 must be with the soft compound

I think a good regulation would be the good old times when they were using different type of tires,I think most of us here who are old F1 fans remember the days of the fight between Michelline and Bridgestone,where in cold weather Michelline behaved better and come earlier to temperature while in hot weather was Bridgestone doing so,the rule back then was that the teams should choose the tire at the beginning of the season and stick to it for the whole season no matter how bad this tire would impact the races of the team.

I think I have had enough of tire monopoly from Pirelli or any other brand,they should let the teams choose from 2-3 providers and let the competition rise,it looks like FIA does not give a damn about competition anymore.
4953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: betting against the Public, is this strategy working? on: January 15, 2023, 08:13:14 PM
I heard this strategy working but I like to know based on your experience if this is working.

For those who don't know about this strategy, you can read here to educate yourself.
https://www.wsn.com/betting-guide/betting-against-public/

Also, this website is providing details about public bets, I'm not sure how accurate it is, but we can use this as a reference since I haven't found another one. You can also comment if you some reliable sites.

https://www.actionnetwork.com/nba/public-betting

Lately Hhampuz a user here and one of the well known campaign managers won near 100k in dollars or almost 6 Bitcoins with just a mere 0.02 Bitcoin as a bet in this thread here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4479837.msg61595068#msg61595068

He got completely against the majority of people,he choose Man.United against City,he choose Brighton over Liverpool and he choose Southampton over Everton in a Premier League parlay that he played.It looks like going against the public is a strategy working but most of the time it doesn't and these are isolated cases,I have been a member of this forum for many years and that recent win I only saw now,which means not many people win going against what most other people bet on but when they do they hit it big.

I don't know this case, but maybe someone could make this clear, because I'm confused... You guys bought cold wallets from someone who made the keys for you, not thinking about whether he still holds the private keys for these wallets, then deposited bitcoin to these addresses and got them stolen?
It's like buying a used trezor or ledger and depositing to the existing addresses. Did the pandemic brainwash you or something?

This is not a gambling problem. This is a scammer exploiting an opportunity by simply picking up money some people sent his way!

Who wants to buy a wallet from me? I'll make you guys some nice addresses to use and they're going to be free! Any takers? Cheesy

The person who created these collectibles was once a trusted member of this forum. He had a good reputation right before someone who owned his collectible noticed that his funds from those collectibles were swiped. As per the creator of this collectible, all of the files/keys from the collectibles he sells, he destroy immediately. But unfortunately, there is one collectible set to which he didn't delete all of the files which he then used to get money from and gamble it all away (as for owlcatz who came in contact with him).

I think this may not be a gambling discussion per se, but it's a textbook example of how gamblers can throw everything away just to get their fill of their gambling hunger. Mind you, his reputation is years in the making, but because of his gambling itch he just threw it all away.

Exactly.That is compulsive gambling,it can destroy anyone,including trusted members of this forum and not only,we have seen people doing much worse things than this.When a person becomes addicted to such levels the only thing who can help him is the professional help,the fact that he didn't show any sign that he wanted to recover says a lot about gambling addiction which distorts one person's reality and this person no matter who this is cannot think clearly or cold headed.Gamblers have thrown away their families,wives,jobs and this is just another such story unfortunately.

Newcastle just got what they wanted,the three points and stopped Fulham from making history if they had won this game,it would have been the 5th consecutive for Fulham,something never before done in their history,I wonder if it is 17 or 18 games without a loss for Newcastle,something along these lines.
Did you guys see a "missed" penalty from Mitrović? I have put missed in quotation marks since he actually scored it and it was overruled. You don't see that every day but he slipped and managed to hit himself in his other foot and still scored  Grin Newcastle won today but they weren't that good and Fulham could have taken a point or even all three today.

Arsenal was great in first half but Spurs started the second much better. We could see some more goals here, Tottenham is famous for late come backs this season. I am writing this in min 75. and it is still 2:0 for Arsenal, need at least one goal for Spurs for my both to score to pass.

Arsenal for me is already the Champion of Premier League,having won today game that easy against Tottenham and having 8 points distance from Manchester City I think they are very calm now and will take any game with serenity and caution,they should do well to not underestimate even a single game even when they are playing against the bottom of the table otherwise they put their title win at big risk.

City lately has not been consistent at all,they have lost that touch that made them win every game with ease,apparently Haaland is a great player but he cannot add to the team part of his personal qualities so Manchester City to do  well overall and being consistent in their wins,they are lacking this.
4956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 15, 2023, 07:03:44 PM
Arsenal are getting close to the Premier League championship more and more every week. This week was amazing for them as they opened the point gap with Manchester City three more points. Manchester City's position is even under the threat of Newcastle and Manchester United now. It is very interesting to see Manchester City this much struggling. But I enjoy watching this situation anyway.  Grin

Because I'm really fed up with seeing Manchester City dominance in the league. It is time for some other teams to put on a good show. The matches between Arsenal and Manchester City will be very important for the championship.

This was a really great move by Arsenal.They are now again 8 points distance and with a huge psychological advantage,they look now perfectly fine toward their goal,I think that no one can stop them now,the only team which has the consistency which is Newcastle is low on points and the difference with them is even bigger than 8 points,it will be difficult for any team including Manchester City to fight for the title this year,the only ones who can lose this Premier League title is Arsenal themselves if they become arrogant and underestimate their opponents,something which for me is highly unlikely to happen.
4957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What are your plans for the coming year? on: January 15, 2023, 05:45:18 PM
merge mining ltc +doge

I have 37gh pulling in 111 usd in ltc and doge

about .4 ltc and 800 doge  every day.

How many GPUs do you have mining those coins?
What is your kw cost?

Right now it looks like only the Asics who can perform scrypt which is the hash algorithm of Dogecoin and Litecoin seems profitable but only when you have them like this in large scale and on cheap electricity.I think that is the best thing to do which philipma is doing mining a lot of Litecon and Doge daily,he can of course exchange it to any coin he wish with an exchange or in a wallet with the exchange function built in like Atomic wallet.

For the GPU mining you can still try to mine or dual mine ETHW+ZIL or ETHF+ZIL as some of the best option which of course now you only mine them at a loss but in a longer term like from 1-2 years from now this is a sure move to make you profit,patience is key in the GPU mining right now.

of course it takes expertise to be able to analyze the market usually experience in crypto for so long can make someone an expert to analyze prices, after all everyone knows that bitcoin is the father of all crypto but sometimes tokens and other crypto always want to replace bitcoin while they are just a child kid and just born yesterday bitcoin has been around for so long that nothing can replace it so everyone has to follow the price of bitcoin because most crypto markets have pairs on BTC

There is no expert that can accurately predict the bitcoin or crypto price all the time. Yes some people can get lucky with their predictions but I have seen no one who has done it consistently. Yes, bitcoin will also be the "father" of all cryptos but there is also place besides BTC for other coins.

It is true that the price of Bitcoin keeps dragging other alt coins most of the time and if we check coinmarketcap,when Bitcoin is in green almost all other alts are in green and when Bitcoin is in red all other alts are in red.This new upside from a couple of days is due to Samsung investing in some ETF securities and opting to use Bitcoin,one of the very few positive news after all the negative that came from big exchanges scamming people and filing for bankruptcy.For the price prediction though no one could have predicted it would have increased except someone who is an insider at Samsung and knew that they would do this move.

~snip

Manchester City almost 2x, that's the best bet of the day isn't it?

not so sure about it, I am going with United today, it is unpopular opinion, but United should be good to take at least point today

but, most important match for me today is Everton vs Southampton, we need a win over relegation rival to leave last three position, but that will be hard as hell - good news that Iwobi could be available today

Good that you did. I lost a lot of money, and I was supposed to just stay put because of it today but I decided to pour in all my Livecasino campaign satoshi sofar into SB and try win it back today with Arsenal (which is looking great at 2.3x).

If that loses, then I decide what to do, wanted Chelsea or Newcastle but I don't really know if they were good choices.

Sorry about Everton.

Finally a day without a single surprise result in the Premier League,Chelsea had that absolute needed victory in order to find the missing serenity in the team from quite some time now although they need to keep going like that because a single victory won't do any good to them in the long term.

Newcastle just got what they wanted,the three points and stopped Fulham from making history if they had won this game,it would have been the 5th consecutive for Fulham,something never before done in their history,I wonder if it is 17 or 18 games without a loss for Newcastle,something along these lines.

Arsenal so far is dominating the game and winning comfortably but since this is a derby anything can happen but most likely Arsenal is going to win this.
4960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 15, 2023, 07:23:35 AM
AC Milan's draw with Lecce was unexpected as I thought AC Milan would get a win to make things interesting with Napoli. Yes, what can make if Napoli are now more comfortable sitting at the top of Serie A with a difference of 9 points.
Competition now is no longer with Napoli, but with Juventus and Inter Milan who occupy positions 3 and 4 with a difference of 1 point.

For a while we can say that Napoli will end this season by winning the Scudetto even though there are still about 18 matches left.
Milan managed to save his face from black ink after scoring two goals in the second half while making the match a draw. An additional point makes it more difficult for Milan to catch Napoli, Milan are now 9 points behind Napoli.
As a result of failing to win at home to Lecce, Milan position is even more threatened if they fail to win in their next match. Juventus and Inter, who are in third and fourth positions, are only one point away from Milan, a negative result in the next match will make Milan drop to fourth if Juventus and Inter manage to win the game.
AC Milan will next face Lazio who are fifth. It will be a tough match. Juventus who are below AC Milan will also face Atalanta who is an opponent that is not easy to beat. But there is a slight difference as Juventus face Atalanta in the next match at their own stadium which will give a little ease to Juventus.

Hence the competition in Seria A this season from the results of yesterday's match will be more interesting in order 2, 3 and 4.

I agree.Here despite being only 18 games played and we have still a bit more than half of the Championship games to be played Napoli is on fire.That lost game against Inter was just a coincidence as they are already 10 points ahead after winning big,really big yesterday night against Juventus at 5-1 result which is rarely seen from Juventus to suffer such a heavy loss.

The places 2,3 and 4 are only competing for a place in the Champions League this year and I doubt any of such teams will have the consistency to keep winning while Napoli to lose games,looks totally impossible for Napoli to lose the title of the Serie A this year.
