I am 15 years in betting (did almost everything in betting).
Other questions I already answered.
Btw, who cares how do I chose picks as long as I win long term ?
I will see in the next few days if interest will be low I will probably close this thread.
Today 3 out of 4 tennis picks were winners.
Thank you and GL.
15 years? Dang that's long and with that duration, no doubt that you already learned a lot of things but I think there are some who can't be convinced with that unless if you show some proof or some kind of certification at least? You said who will care if how you choose your bets?

The people who will use those bets of course. They are only making sure that those bets are well crafted and not just came from a random thought. You may not care about it because maybe you are not playing the actual game but you are only posting here if you think will win and maybe if some of those guesses were correct, you will ask for some donations or tips.   
502  Economy / Economics / Re: Are people really having the wrong concept of savings? on: February 21, 2023, 06:29:45 AM
Not a wrong concept in saving, but their goals are different. There are those who save for the short term, for example saving from spring to meet winter. Some are saving for the long term, for example they are preparing for their old age. It doesn't mean money can't be used, even if there is a emergency need, the savings will definitely be used if the monthly spending money is insufficient.
Whatever the term we choose, short or long term I think a saving will still define as a money that we set a side for a while, in use for later. Our primary goal on why we save is to secure our future so that we will have a peace of mind but life is unpredictable. We are living a healthy life right now but who knows we might experience a sudden pain which can be life threatening if not treated ASAP?

We are now forced to use a portion of our saving to treat it. The same goes if we get into accidents. It's useless if you will save but you won't still use it at the end because you are now gone in this world, unless if the saving is intended to your kids and other family members.
503  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How To Convert USDC to USD and Withdraw Monies on: February 20, 2023, 07:41:19 PM
I looked up Binance but they have loads of bad reviews with people saying they can access their monies for withdrawal.

I am based in Malaysia at present but am originally from the UK.
I don't know from where you saw those loads of bad reviews about Binance while it is the best centralized exchange of the world at the moment. Their P2P trading platform can easily let you convert your USDC to USD or any other currency without any issues if you do Level 1 identity verification which isn't much of a lengthy process and also doesn't take much time.

I've been using Binance for 2 years now and I've never faced any issues with it. You should give it a try and shouldn't listen to those false reviews which most probably are from their competitors to drag them down.
504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Give it a break. on: February 20, 2023, 06:52:00 PM
Give yourself a break.
This is one measure or strategy I use in my gambling technique to curtail losses upon more losses. Immediately I realize I have made many streaks like about 5 to 7 streaks for the week and I haven't made any win at least out of these numbers of streaks the next action is to give it a break for another new week to come. Believing that it's not my week and there's no need trying more as I will only end up break my bank for nothing at the end.
I do this for a long time now and it works for me by saving me from incurring wasteful losses and also having/saving me some money  for the next week to come. Indirectly this strategy also help to moderate my gambling habit and uncontrollable addiction tendency, and it also provide me the chance of having money for any winning opportunity that might come up for the new as I gamble.
Back in the days, when I used to gamble more regularly, I used to do almost the same thing but just in a different way. If I would have a lost streak of about 4 to 5, I would stop betting at that time or day. I would start afresh the next day or later same day and then continue playing until the same thing used to happen.

At first, I used to chase losses, though it used to work sometimes, but at times, it used to become the cause of losing all my money at a time. That is the when I started taking breaks after getting loss streaks which used to save me from getting totally liquidated. Though gambling is purely based on luck but such practices can reduce the chances of losing everything you have at one time and give you extra chances.
505  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Advantage of holding Bitcoin in time of crisis on: February 20, 2023, 04:49:29 PM
Unfortunately, in countries with a very low standard of living, people very often do not have the opportunity to worry that inflation will eat into their savings, because they barely have enough money to survive. But if we are talking in general about investing in bitcoin during a crisis, then yes it is a great tool, especially now that the price is at such a low level, and it will not only be a good way to keep our money from inflation, but it can also be excellent investment.

Well, inflation, regardless of the standard of living, does affect every individual who has a family to feed. Even if a person doesn't have any savings, but they do need to spend money on a daily basis to buy things to eat and stay alive, and inflation affects that greatly since such people don't earn enough. And, in countries where living of standard is low, companies or employers don't pay higher no matter how hard inflation hits the country. So things like grocery, vegetables etc. become expensive while flow of money becomes less, thus that creates problems for everyone.

Bitcoin on the other side, can surely save the investments from inflation but unfortunately it only works for the rich to save their money from devaluation while the poor suffers in hard times of crisis.
506  Economy / Gambling / Re: PromoTout.com New Gambling & Sports Betting Tutorials & Promotions Site on: February 19, 2023, 08:31:00 PM
Hey everyone. I recently started a new site that posts gambling and sportsbetting guides, articles & promotions. Would you mind taking a quick look and letting me know what you think so far?

We’re at promotout.com

If you have any other ideas for how we can grow please let me know!
Start collecting feedback, testing websites/casinos, do some research and write review articles, which should be in depth and honest reviews about any service that you write them about, in this particular instance, gambling. There are a lot of platforms that you can review. You can start reviewing from the most popular one, that might also provide you with more traffic.

You can buy a domain and switch your blog later one once you start getting enough visits and when you realize that your website/blog is getting some organic views and visits.
507  Economy / Gambling / Re: BITDICE.ME ⭐ NEW EXCLUSIVE GAME "SNATCH!" ⭐ | Wager Competitions | Lottery on: February 19, 2023, 06:32:50 PM
Well just 0.01375 btc, it could had been worst, sadly because of past and good experience for years I didn't doubt the site but now I will look up a gambling site before depositing even if I played there before. Lesson learned I guess.  Smiley

Edit: Would be nice if someone can flag OP's account for future refference.
0.01375 BTC isn't just an amount but it's a decent amount already according on today's rate and how much more if the bullish momentum that we feel right now continues? But don't worry, we aren't blaming you for this because you already explain your side. It only becomes bad if you are totally a new player on this gambling site and you don't check reviews before depositing.

The blame is set to Bitdice this time because they aren't professional. They just end their site in a worst possible way because they don't warn their users in advance about this matter. Your suggestions it great because there are people who don't really like to back read.
508  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: can wallet to wallet transfer be hack on: February 19, 2023, 10:19:46 AM
There are certain ways where a transaction can be hacked or hijacked.  There are malware that can change the pasted address  so that is one of the proof that wallet tranfer can be hack or hijack.  The best way to avoid this is to always double check the address that we pasted.  Other than that, I do not think that there is another way of hacking or hijacking a transfer.
For the first one or about the malwares, make sure we already installed a strong anti-virus and then they must always be updated so that they can scan our devices for available malwares and other threats. Yet we must not be confident but we should always make it a practice to re-check the receivers address if it's a correct one or not.

To be able to do this in an efficient way, I check a few characters on the beginning and on the last part of a crypto wallet address. On the second one or about the private keys, make sure we avoid sites or transactions which requires us to paste our private keys because they are obviously a scam. We should also store our private keys offline. Transacting big amount is also fine as long as you know to your self that you are clean and free from illegal transactions in the past.
509  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Trustdice.win cancels winning bets on: February 18, 2023, 09:29:20 PM
In addition, Trustdyce support contacted the provider only on the 4th attempt (after my "manipulative words" that I will write on bitcointalk", I can attach screenshots, but there is a different language of communication with them (Russian)
They brazenly told me that the rate was returned, they didn’t give any reasons, and they didn’t care
What rate was return, I won't get you because you previously said that you were able to withdraw only $59 after you were forced to wager the total amount of $600 you deposited.
-do you mean your entire wagered balance was returned to you as a cashback when you complained or what do you mean by that, I will like to read youd reply so that I can know in detail what yoh really mean in your last statement.
He placed some bet on a game that he claims he won but cancelled by the casino. So he contacted support as shown in the pictures attached, the support guy told him that the bet was cancelled by the game provider and the initial bet amount was refunded to you. That's what he is referring to in his last statement.

Well, I think every casino have some condition for your first withdrawal, or maybe for every withdraw, but I'm not sure if wagering 5x the deposit amount is good or it's too much. Platforms should make these tasks easier, but again, I believe they do this to prevent their platforms from the large amount of scammers that are almost everywhere these days.
510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 18, 2023, 09:03:45 PM
If it's possible for this kind of competition for fraud to occur, how much more to much smaller competitions. There are local and regional competitions everywhere. Some games must be rigged. Some detected, some not.

Here, there was also a national basketball competition where a team was obviously throwing the game. It was Manny Pacquiao himself who filed the case against those who were involved in the fixing.

I also have a neighbor who was a pro DOTA II player. He and his team were involved in match fixing. They were banned by Valve itself.

Fraud is also rampant in sports.
Cheating in e-sports events and tournaments have been pretty high in the years 2020-2022 or maybe even in 2023, since I didn't hear any news about it so far so I didn't include it. People cheat in all sorts of ways, some using hack files in their systems and some misusing bugs and glitches to gain more exposure or advantages within a game.

Among all, fixing a match sounds to be the easiest way to me for an e-sports player since there is nothing else to make it suspicious unless a team or a player starts playing noticeably bad all of a sudden compared to their game quality from before. Even if things are investigated, one can easily say that it's just a game and anything can happen.
511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: what do you expect from cryptocurrency? on: February 18, 2023, 05:10:06 PM
I am one of those people who do not have much wealth, my hope from cryptocurrency is to multiply small capital into large capital, so that it can improve my household's economy. of course I have to be determined to set aside a small part of my remaining money to buy bitcoin, and I consider that as a replacement for my pocket money, so that even though there are high fluctuations in its movements, I remain calm, and later the money will double so I can open a business real estate or buying safer assets, as part of diversification
You have all the time to do your research and established your decision making in terms of investing your hard earned money in this market, there are many movements that might affects your position but make sure to learn more about this industry.

If youthink Bitcoin/crypto can give you that amount of profits, taking the risk is really something that
you needed to consider, knowing both sides, profits and losses all the possibilities should be taking into account.
We don't know the full status of his life. Maybe he is also busy grinding on his work and doing side hustles because he seems unfortunate right now, therefore, he could be lacking of time to make a research but he said he is buying Bitcoin so we shouldn't worry a lot. Bitcoin is a newbie-friendly coin and almost anyone can succeed with it, as long as they have a common sense to buy low and sell high.

There are movements or distractions that can affect us but if we are equipped with knowledge, we can endure all of those because we know that they are only a kind of test. Only those who can survive those are the ones that can succeed in this game.
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recommend your Favorite Slots on: February 18, 2023, 06:21:49 AM
I will only recommend one of my favorite slots to play where I managed to hit the maximum win 4-5 times in a week last year. It is a game by Pragmatic Play namely Gates of Olympus. I'm quite sure most slot lovers know about this game because it is very popular and played by so many gambler every day since Pragmatic released it till now. If there is a statistic combined from all casinos, I think this game will be on top places in the category of Most Played Slot.
I am curious if what is the max multiplier of this game? You should have included it for those who are new to this game but there are also people who are playing this already and haven't hit that max multiplier yet. You made it look easy hitting it because it happens 4 to t times per week as you said? IDK if your luck is at the roof or the max multiplier of this game is only small because if it's truly a big one then I think the odds of hitting hit are also unimaginable.

It's true that this was one of the famous slot games because I kept seeing this name anywhere and there are also casinos who copies the same theme but they don't have gaming providers.
513  Other / Archival / Re: Historical Data on Bitcoin Bullish/Bearish Cycles on: February 17, 2023, 08:52:54 PM
I assume that bitcoin's pullback is not only related to FTX and Luna collapse. Still, in recent years, various events have been taking place in the world that are not conducive to growth btc. For example, rising inflation and unemployment don't contribute to an increase in purchases. When people have extra money, they can invest in btc, but when their economic situation is very unstable, people simply may not have free money. Without money and their investments, as you know, bitcoin will not rise in price. Remember the times of the pandemic, when a lot of unsecured money was poured into the global economy and where this money went from people's pockets. Then not only crypto, but the stock market skyrocketed. There will be good times of prosperity and you will see how the bull trend returns to the market again.

We can speculate on how btc will perform in the next bullish cycle, but we will only know when it happens. I think we will never see x100 or even x10 again - it was possible at first, when the price was very low. x2 is quite possible if all factors converge, but I think that growth will slow down. Actually, it's logical. This is how much money is needed to make x10 from 25k or x10 from 10k.
Times 10 for BTC might still be possible but I am not sure about times 100 because like you said the price is already huge. This is also the reason on why there are new coins that has been released because there are also people who are looking for the next Bitcoin in terms of ROI. Times 2 for BTC is very possible even if other positive factors are not seen yet.

There are just times where the growth speed is slow especially if we are on a time like this. We are still in the bear market. You didn't state if you much money needed before the price can rise up to 10x but I think this one can still be calculated easily for those who are good in maths Cheesy.
514  Economy / Economics / Re: Cheap food: can you beat this price in your country? on: February 17, 2023, 07:42:23 PM
Meal composed by rice, toasted cassava flour and black bean stew with few pieces of pork meats
Lack of vitamin and nutrition because it's full of carbohydrate and protein, you can't eat for everyday because you will suffer obesity and heart problem. You need to compare it apple by apple, not the unhealthy dish. I read on an article where minimum wage in Brazil is 2265 BRL/Month or $440/Month [1], how it's possible you're saying the minimum wage is only $25/Month.

Anyway, if you want to have a frugal lifestyle, it's stupid to save your money by eating cheap unhealthy food, health is the most important, so make sure you eat a healthy food even it's will cost a little bit more.


[1] https://take-profit.org/en/statistics/wages/brazil/
I research if there's any vitamins in those type of foods and to my surprise there is, especially the black beans because this one is a kind of vegetables. I think casava too is a kind of vegetables so there must be vitamins found on this food. Rice and pork/meat on the other hand is also essential for the body to help us give energy.

Overall, I see no problems with the food that the OP featured. What is only good is that those foods are very affordable. He is lucky to have that kind of meal on his place but I think is possible because he is living on a country where the cost of living is only minimal but if you aren't from those country then I don't think you can find any restaurant that serve those kind of food at a cheaper costs.
515  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Favorite Play’n Go Games and Experience on: February 17, 2023, 07:05:05 PM
so i decided next week i will come back to Tome Of Madness and i hope to share another good experience like that time.
Do not play Tome of Madness if you want to hunt for big multiplier, it has 2,000x max multiplier only if I remember it correctly. If you look for more bonus rounds, it is good game because the the bonus round comes out more than other games, based on my experience. However, easy to catch bonus round but it is really hard to hit big multiplier. Maybe you'll only get 100x-300x in average for the bonus round in Tome of Madness.
What if he/she only wants to play the game for fun? And this was the real essence of gambling anyway so we shouldn't restrict him/her but anyways, I think 2kx multi is already huge but if this was its max multi then hitting it can be a pain in the ass while I don't mind getting 100x and 300x more often because for me, those multis are still decent even on a minimal bet.

What is good with tome of madness is like you said, bonus rounds can come more often. Me personally, I love the feeling when I hit a bonus rounds in any of the slot game that I play and I like the longer ones because that also means that the more the chance I will find a better multiplier.
516  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can help all nations. on: February 16, 2023, 05:36:01 PM
Bitcoin was created with the intention of making trading and owning it profitable for the average person. Due to the rigorous regulations set on cryptocurrencies that carry a fine for breaking them, not all nations can buy bitcoin. Bitcoin is welcomed in industrialized nations, but underdeveloped nations are wary of the initiative for fear that it could replace their fiat money. Existence of bitcoin is beneficial, since it will simplify operations and payment methods worldwide. Although it won't be adopted everywhere, the bulk of European nations are already familiar with it and are reaping significant financial benefits.
I don't think it was intentional or the developer of BTC expected that his invention can be used for trading and investing. What he only know is that he created a kind of currency which are opposed to fiats. I wouldn't wonder any more if industrialized nations are like that, it's because they embrace every opportunity, not like to the undeveloped nations who are scared of many things.

This is the main thing that limits them to improve as a nation. BTC can indeed simplify the payment operation because there will be no need for a third party when we use it but some people might think BTC is too complex so they will still stick to what they already know.
517  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 16, 2023, 04:45:39 PM
The Series B are a good league in Brazil also after the Serie A the main league and I find it surprising that some players were bribed to commit penalties for just 29.000 dollars,I am assuming the pay of the players in this Serie B is not that good if the players agreed to fix things.I have always known that game fixing exists but not in such a big manner in the bigger leagues,for example what I thought to be a league that fixing game would be easy is 7th or 8th division in Denmark and Norway,they have a lot of such divisions and the players there are amateurs.

I think FIFA should start an investigation and make the teams and players who have done this responsible by giving them big penalties like moving the team to the lowest division with 10 years staying there no matter if they win that league.
The amount of time and effort they spend only to reach that rank is unimaginable and it's crazy on how they trade it for some quick buck. I don't think their pay is small but maybe those players are only confident that their acting skills are good enough for them to not get caught by the officials but you are right that games like this can be rare on a bigger league because most players still value their reputation much more than the bribes that they could possibly get and besides, they can still earn some cash reward I think?

No matter if they win or lose. The penalty that you suggested there is I think not big enough. Big is when they ban the players forever from playing but I like this better so that the rates of this cases might be lessened drastically.
518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pakistan Super League #PSL Discussion Thread on: February 16, 2023, 01:16:06 PM
I think you are an experienced guy and you have a good idea in T20 matches. The match happened exactly as you thought. Multan Sultans bowled brilliantly and bowled out Quetta Gladiators for 110 runs. Multan Sultans gave a brilliant performance in bowling as well as batting. 13.3  The match was won by 111 runs in the over. All the fans of Multan Sultans were shocked to see the game. Bowling of Multan Sultans Ihsanullah took the highest wicket in this match.
Ihsanullah has not played any T20 International match for Pakistan side but if he gave few performances like this in current season of PSL then it's very likely he will get a chance to play T20 International for Pakistan. Quetta has some good names in batting like Roy, Guptill, Hafeez but none clicked yesterday. Quetta need to learn from this match if they wanna stay in competition  otherwise they will be eliminated quite easily.
Ihsanullah is young and exciting bowler and doing good work on his early days of cricket if he keeps going like this surely having a good career with Pakistan national team as well I watch his bowling in last match against Quetta Gladiators he completely destroys them and having very impressive figures in his first match of this season which give his team a big win as well.

Quetta Gladiators lost their first match badly but still we have long way to go and things could be changed as well because they have few exciting and renewed T20i specialist players which can change the game very quickly specially Roy and Guptill both are good and can do good under the captaincy of Sarfraz in coming matches.

Anything that has to do with Korea in general has a ring of strictness tied to it. I have never been there but thank God for the power of media. The ageing population is their fault following their restrictions on child birth ratio.
The plan for crypto innovative adoption would help the masses if they intend to earn from either remote work or any service related to crypto which they do and moreso have enough jobs to offer foreigners who came for livelihood, trade, migration.
The AI initiative may pose a threat to take over most of the jobs humans do, thereby creating more unemployment and suffering. Although, it could be a leading effect on influx of students, professionals, tourists, who love everything about AI and want to either know more or invest in its advancement.
More crypto hubs are being developed around the world and statistically, countries who are open to crypto trade and have made it or in the process of making it a legal tender, is witnessing more tourism and investment.
Crypto adoption can help not only in terms of earning or for providing a career but it also helps act as a medium of exchange. With crypto, there is no need to use local fiats but they can just use it directly for paying or for purchasing. As for the AI, it will be better if they take things slowly in regards with it if they think it will affect us negatively.

I am not sure if it's true that there are now more crypto hubs when there is only a few that has been reported. I know the first crypto hub started on El Salvador but it can indeed attract tourists because this wasn't a common thing yet. Not all that goes with it are doing a business or wants to invest but they only want to experience to spend their cryptos directly on some services.
520  Economy / Gambling / Re: Any Casino Android software on: February 15, 2023, 10:29:59 AM
Is there any gambling/casino website that owns a android application? I noticed that all gambling websites are good for PC/Computers but not phones, I believe an android application will be flawless and way easier to access..
All the Gambling, Casino & Betting sites I have used so far have no Android application. However, websites have been made mobile-friendly through different browsers. I usually use betting and gambling sites with chrome browser. But lately I'm having more fun using websites on my PC than on my mobile phone. Because betting and gambling sites do not work fast on mobile phone but this problem does not exist through PC. However, even if there is no mobile application at present, gambling and betting sites have been able to create various extensions on the Chrome browser suitable for mobile phones.
With the emergence of mobile phones, every websites right now are forced to create their own mobile version so that they can gain a wider audience because there are so many mobile phone users nowadays. It's no surprise because they have gotten cheaper now and then there are certain benefits of using them.

If you are experiencing a slowness then it might be because your internet connection is slow while for me, I don't experience it even I am using my mobile phone at most times. Another advantage of using a phone is that I can just switch on my mobile data if there are problems with my wifi. Chrome extensions on the other hand are like plugins, so I am not sure if they can create a casino through it but AFAIK chrome extension doesn't work on mobile.
