Yeah, i've made profit from them, but i've also lost with them. But if you need to ask it they are legit, i would say that you should ignore them, as whole premise of your question is too broad. There are legit icos, as there are legit private sales, idos and ieos and what not, but over 99% of them are not legit. And the way you ask your question makes me think you most likely wouldn't find the legit ones. Even if you would find legit one, even if you did everything right, some scam most likely moons way better then your investment. 

There are so many things that can be red flags, that you would need lots of experience to DYOR.

I think in bitcointalk too, there are some good threads on how to find good icos, but frankly you might be better of investing something that's currently undervalued. Icos can be overvaluated as well.

It's psychologically healthy to stop, when losing is gettin to you, it doesn't help with the outcome of winning or losing, except you'll make risks that you wouldn't otherwise. That can be either profitable or the opposite.
But otherwise your advices seem to be basically that we should stop gambling. Which is counterproductive, as we don't win without gambling.

Strategizing might work in some cases. But i would summarize your advices to: "Take a break when it's not fun anymore, or you have doubts that you should". Also if you are going over your budget is a good time to take a breath.

If you are not talking about parlay, i would like to see links on these claims and who exactly these experts are saying so. Because mathematically you have same changes winning every single time.

Parley i would get, because if that would be for tossing a coin for example, guessing 10 throws with 50/50 changes would give you 1/1024 change of guessing every one of them. But if you take them seperately you have a 50/50 change of winning every time, minus the house edge. In fact you probably have better change on guessing winners of sport events correctly, even though you wouldn't have 2x multiplier minus house edge with every bet like with coin.

I have heard something along these lines from my dad. That it keeps him active and social. I personally think that he didn't accept the idea, that he was poor. And gambling would somehow be his way out of the poor life that he was so ashamed of. He didn't want to seem like a poor man so he kept quite a good car. When he smoked cigarettes, he refused to roll them as it would make him seem like a poor man.

So when he won a bunch of money he lived like a rich man for a week or a day, and it was immediately back to being ascetic.

Another reasoning i've heard is from my friend was that he felt it with such a passion that this day would be his lucky day in casino. So he bought a beer in a casino, converted everything he had on wallet to chips. It was couple hundred euros or something like that. He put all the chips to one specific number (i can't remember which one), and lost. Right after he drank his beer and left to home. Even though it was over in a moment, i admit, it was a rush to watch. He just said to me that it wasn't such a good idea, and maybe he shouldn't trust his guts on matters like that.

This reminded me that as this was a third party poker site, i wanted to ask if you have plans in the future to breach out and build poker events inside your casino?
I understand that it's a whole another beast to build, but one can dream.

Poker tournaments are more intense past time to me then regular casino and sports, as it requires constant awareness.
But i would happily do it from time to time for money especially if it would happen in the casino i liked and if i might get an airdrop from it with shfl .

I've been wondering if these people would ever be happy. Because being satisfied and thankful for what ever i have, has been pretty major reason for my happiness in life. I am not kicking walls not selling one of my altcoin at the top for 20 bitcoins that i would have got at the time when bitcoin was cheap, or selling my eth when it was $12. Or not choosing that next scratch card with the top prize.

Because looking what i could have done more, or better, choosing otherwise, betting more or investing more in hindsight and being bitter over that is literally throwing my time and happiness away for nothing.   

And not focusing on loss has been in my thoughts for a while, especially when ever i hear people saying they can make money short term with with martingale strategy. Because they don't seem to get that even though they are not starting by risking a lot of money There's a change that they are risking their whole budget in one chain of bets.

piebeyb, Blaming a scam for $22 is understandable if you realize that all these people who i've seen here yelling scam have entitlement mentality. They are center of the universe that require special treatment. ToS doesn't seem to apply to them, or even mathematical laws of probability, because their 20 bucks or whatever is what's it's all about. These people keep making ridiculous amount of noise, because during their childhood they got what they wanted by keeping shouting even more. But they don't seem to get the difference of abusing someone close to them and yelling towards helpdesk. So i guess they just need to get that out of their system. Reasoning with them haven't seem to be working.

babygun. I am pretty sure that majority of the people but are watching ufc for example because they like the sport, not the gambling, but as they are a perfect target group, it makes sense to put logos everywhere. Even though some people might not want to gamble, that logo will stick on their mind as they have been looking at it for big part of the fight. This creates a positive link in their mind to the sport, and it might work way better than tv ad for example.

Winning one multibet isn't really a strategy, or proof of anything but the fact that you can win with gambling as surely as you can lose with gambling.
But only place really where you can have strategies are blackjack, poker and betting in sports. Everything else has too high house edge and probability is against you in a long run on those. And you can win only with luck.

In fact casinos are trusting the math of the edge so much, it's only strategy they need to profit.

But when it comes to sports, i am currently trying out new strategies. I don't have a clue if they work in a long run and i have tried them such a short time that i couldn't make any conclusions of it.
If i am in profit after half year with same tactic, i am sticking with it. And i probably won't share it, as if it makes me money in a long run, it's the only proof i need.

I am sure you have good intentions on this but i am not sure if you realize how patronizing this sounds to any people living in a region where women have (almost) equal rights. Maybe you'll see it better if you reverse the genders and talk how some women allow husbands to have allowance for their business of their own.

My ex wife is way more educated than me and had a higher paying job. It never was an issue. My current partner has her own firm that's doing more than well. Neither of them needed my help for it, but obviously everyone needs support for their ideas, and people to believe in them. Talking down and telling what your partner should do with their life, or trying to crush dreams isn't healthy in any kind of relationship

Yeah, i am doing this, i have a monthly bankroll, i am just calling it a gambling budget. And i won't go $1 over monthly budgeted money.

Pondering if it's enough is a matter of attitude, because if you don't believe 10% of your income ($50) wouldn't be enough, then 10% of your income from what ever income wouldn't be enough, as it's all relative, and if you think the wins would need to radically change your life. So it wouldn't be enough compared to your life expenses and salary.

As in statistically speaking, that $50 wouldn't make you any richer then that $10k, because percentually you would win the same. It's not as easy to grasp when you have only that 50 dollars in month to spend. When you are poor, it seems obvious that you would settle wanting less when you have money, but it's often not like that. When your salary rises, so rises your spendings.

Well you still didn't remove them. But what exactly is the "trust" you are wishing to get? That you don't exit scam or that people would be confident enough to buy your token?

In case it's the latter: people don't buy tokens just because they trust you. If your token isn't offering anything new, and it's a generic token why would the trust even matter?
Your web page tries to sell it as becoming part of the innovation, but where's the innovation? It's not in your white paper. It doesn't have any development progress. It just has a roadmap that promises to release a detailed whitepaper, and some generic promises about adoption and holder growth. So have you asked yourself why would anyone be interested about this. Because people can just do their own generic tokens if they need to.

I am waiting to get more money to buy the dip or even enough to dca, and i am kinda frustrated that i don't have it, as this is most likely last dip before new ath and ath after that.
So in a word i am bullish and wish i could afford to buy the dip. If there's going to be a dip after halving i don't think it will go as low as where we are now. Not in bitcoin or most of the altcoins.
Low caps might drop at first as all the money goes to huge marketcap coins and while after that mid caps. And only after that to low and micro caps, if ever. At least if history is repeating itself.

As i probably don't have enough money for entering with meaningful sum, i might go in with a leverage when i do.

But right now only thing i can do is to watch the market.

Well that's a lie. Or what's bullrun to you exactly? This has risen 1775% since October 2023 and it's currently ATH. So if you are trying to sell us something, at least stick speaking truth. so that rest of your text won't be skipped.

Not even going to the fact that proof of work only works if there's enough distributed mining power that prevents 51% attack, so certain pow low cap coins are often very much vulnerable to that. Or that this thread is obvious marketing attempt where you shiill it with all your newb accounts.

I am not sure how it would differ from you being a woman or a man, at least not where i live. If you are married, and not telling everything how you spend your money, i guess it goes both ways and your husband doesn't need to tell how he spends his money either. And it's totally ok if you want that kind of relationship and you want to keep your secrets. But if you have a strict budget and money is for both of you, and you want to plan it together, you might want to come clean. And then there's the question of why are you keeping those secrets? Don't you think that your husband would accept (or allow) gambling? Or are there some other reasons for it?

That being said, you seem to have a good grasp on how to avoid getting addicted and you are allowed to keep secrets. But if i can suggest that you might want to spend only your own money.

I don't judge him for it but, mathematically they are just risking more money for the win. From the point of winning it doesn't matter how you are gambling (aside from sports), because the mathematical possibility for the win stays the same tomorrow.

Gambling every day because it's fun on the other hand doesn't need justification, and i find it weird when people think they need to justify it with some pseudo math of winning.

Your friend's logic is flawed, and i guess he needs to make up stories for himself to justify it financially. Imho that's a dangerous road. Just admitting that gambling is fun, even if he is losing would be more healthy way for him to look at it.

Just because he tried to fund it by gambling how would gambling be the issue here? If that guy worked at the building site to fund his drug habits, would we blame building sites for it?

Irresponsibility and drug addiction is the problem here, the fact he thought he could fund it by gambling is either him lying or he doesn't know how income works, or he was just addicted to gambling as well. But let's not be that fast to judge his decisions, because some of them might not be "decisions", but just acts one does in withdrawal.

Gambling of course can ruin some lifes as it's not for everyone. Almost anything that you get hooked to and when you lose control is bad for you. Doubly so when there's so much monetary responsibilities involved.

But from what you write, it sounds like your country needs their gambling laws fixed.

They might have started as such, but escaping regulations wasn't their sole purpose. They just happened to be outside of any regulatory framework, but only because regulators were just catching up.
Compared to current huge exchanges, they were relatively small, and there were way more exit scams on them.

These days crypto exchanges or "neobanks" are obligated to follow same regulations as every company that deals with people's finances. Also profits and losses from neobanks don't happen because of evading regulations. Gains and losses are huge because you can basically trade any volatile token in them. At least in DeXes.

I sleep with earplugs on and top of that i keep my noise cancelling headphones. I don't listen to brown / white noise at all as that makes my tinnitus worse. But i might listen to 10 hours of sound of raining with a black screen from youtube. But that's just for protecting me.

And what i do for reducing noise from my apartment? I don't play music from loud speakers, i am silent after 11pm as walls in here aren't that thick. I don't use washing machine or loud machinery of any kind after 11om but i go to shower and live my life otherwise normally. I don't speak loudly or yell, or listen to music or watch videos from a phone speaker while on public transit and i don't get the people who do. I don't party in my house, but i party where ever it's allowed. That's enough for me imho.

I don't know why that would even be a question. Watching at home maybe with friends if you have friends that love sports. Or alone. Alone is way better then with a people you can't stand. They are arguing in the watching centre most likely because their friends don't wan't to hang out with people that are arguing and  tries to pick up a fight, just because his views on the sport are so heated.

So they lash out in public to someone because they have a need for that. But why would you want to spend time in same space with someone that annoys you that much? I would understand if that was an only option to watch the sports but it most likely isn't, and you pointed out the alternative too.

I would see it getting more support than bitcoin, especially if it scales. PoW is just harder to sell. But i see a lot of issues with it. Bitcoin as a pure currency is an easier concept to explain and adopt than explaining smart contracts, why L2s exist and why wallets are getting hacked left and right and why cross bridges are dangerous.

In short: i would trust bitcoin to my 80 year old mom, but i wouldn't let her use a metamask. She would totally didn't understand where it's safe to connect and where it's currently connected. Also explaining dexes to her would be near impossible. And she would lose everything if she ever needed to use it.
