521  Economy / Gambling / Re: Loophole in stopping Money Laundering through Wagering on: July 16, 2023, 10:29:24 PM
There are methods to fight against money laundering and there are KYC, and AML rules on many gambling platforms for obvious reasons. If the gambler uses wagering methods to launder money, it is easily detectable by the system after withdrawing big amounts. So I doubt it is a good idea to use gambling sites for this purpose. There are other methods they use mostly NFT industry, AFAIK. Just my 2 cents.
Amidst all these technical things money laundering still continues through the gambling industry. There are gambling sites in which the insiders help with it for a big commission. This is very rare to find, apart from that we were able to see huge deposits that are converted to gambling chips and used. Later the same gets withdrawn, which is the common form practised all around. Whatever the restrictions, people continue to find loopholes and get into these kind of activities.

All that OP have shared are the success stories. Same as the success story we were able to see good number of Store that are hidden as they followed the passion and failed in life leaving their comfort. This happens, and to my understanding when one have decided to follow the passion and grow high he/she should have the ability to withstand long term. Some might be lucky to succeed at the shortest and the same doesn't happen with everyone.
523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Let's find out which gambling game is the most played among our community... on: July 16, 2023, 10:18:00 PM
I am not very much surprised that sports betting is leading the pool, alot of gamblers only focus on sports betting, and I personally believe that sports betting is the actual game where the fun we seek lives..

Aside sports betting, other games I play most of the time is slot games, dice and keno, though I don't play dice so often, keno is my favorite casino game, each time I feel like playing a casino games, it's most keno, i only play dice, crash once in a long while.

as we can see, the casino classics are just secondary to sports betting. i believe this is owed to the fact that a lot are finding sports betting to have higher chance of winning if you know the sports very well. of course, we all do want to win, so if you have particular sports in mind and you feel that you have good bets to place with, of course, you will put more money into it. whereas, we know that if we play on luck-based games, very few are going all in because in the long run, the possibility of losing all your bank roll is high.

Well, one can argue with that as some of the bettors/gamblers are not that lucky when it comes to sports betting. Sure it will be more easy to bet on it especially if we know the sports/games very well, but it will be the same and will all boils down if the game is not really for you, that is why some are just inclined to play in luck-based games where they have more chances to win compared to sports betting.
Sports betting is much preferred for the reason of higher winning probability as the win/loss is much associated with the knowledge and information one have related to the particular sports. Even with the sports betting there is need of luck without which it is quite hard to win as more underdog wins were taking place these days. With the next in the voting is the slots and dice which were luck based and the preference is much upon its result that can be got whereas it takes time with sports betting.

It was a very interesting match, easy first win for Djokovic, Alcaraz comes back to win the
next 2 sets with a 19 minute game thrown into the mix, Djokovic comes back to take the
fourth to go the full distance, just like a true champion.

Djokovic REALLY wanted this one for many reasons, its all about records at this stage for him,
and he let his frustrations and emotions out.

Really great win from Alcaraz, winners mentality to never give up until its over.
This was a great miss for Djokovic. The win is marked as the beginning of new era.
Since 2002 it is the first time the winner of Wimbledon is other than Federer, Nadal,
Murray and Djokovic. 7 times Wimbledon title winner have fallen to the young one.
If this had been won by Djokovic he could've levelled the record with Federer winning
8 titles. Till the last moment the match went as a thriller and the service were at the
bullet speed from both.

The growth and spread of bitcoin have taken place through the word of mouth. If none have shared, even now this could've never reached such a huge user base. In recent years more promotion and advertising have come for bitcoin and were much on business making with bitcoin and not for the promotion of bitcoin. As said it is a continuous process and there is a need for the sharing of information relative to bitcoin in all possible means. This makes people to be on the safer side as well as help with more usage which is part of growth.

Op have realised it, but he missed better opportunity. Then also we'll get similar opportunities and we should be good enough to understand the reality and invest into it. The big mistake is the fear on scams and the down market he came across. He should have entered our forum and requested the suggestions and he could've got the right suggestions to stay away from scams and how to keep his holdings secure. Anyhow past is past, let him start new and enjoy the goodness then onwards.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 15, 2023, 11:56:41 PM
When a person hits 18, they started to develop their thinking abilities but then it is not yet sure that they can handle any emotions that is regarding to gambling , when they lose can they manage their anger? their patience? and other things. So I do agree that gambling age should maybe at least 21 , 18yo nowadays are very indecisive and they are hardly control their emotions.
Special laws regarding gambling and the minimum age at which people should be able to engage on the activity do not see like something possible for me, once you are considered legally an adult in your country that is the moment a great deal of rights and responsibilities are pushed upon you, like being able to drive, join the army, drink alcohol, to vote and gamble, if we were to somehow not allow a person to gamble until later on then we are saying they are not responsible enough to do so, and in that case that opens the question about whether or not they are ready to take on the rest of the responsibilities and rights they get once they reach adulthood.
When a person is given with the right to vote, he is considered a grown person to take his own decision. Different countries have got difference in the age bracket for th right to vote. Based on the same age can be the gambling access. Restrictions can be seen everywhere and the casinos have begun to request KYC which assure only the right aged person get into gambling. The voting rights give more responsibility and then onwards it is his own choice and there should be law that he/she should use their own money and not their parents money into gambling.
528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 15, 2023, 11:45:34 PM
Right Wi playing very bad cricket even though he does not qualify for Word Cup 2023. What a shocking display of cricket by India They secured a remarkable victory against West Indies winning by an innings and 141 runs. The Indian team show amazing performance and teamwork especially the bowling performance by Ravichandran Ashwin exceptional  picking 12 wickets played a crucial role in this victory but the batting performance of Yashasvi Jaiswal is outstanding scored 171 runs get the well deserved title Player of the Match.
I am confused as to whether I should appreciate the tremendous performance of the Indian team or I should blame the poor cricket by the West Indies team and their decline in the international arena.
The only thing that I can debate in this test match is who should have been the Player of the match. Either it should be Yashasvi Jaiswal
with 171 runs (who is the actual player of the match) or it should have been Ravichandran Ashwin who took a total of 12 wickets in both the innings.
I think Ashwin made more sense, considering it was bowling of India which was exceptional the batting wasn't that extraordinary. I know 171 was very crucial, but very less things come close to 12 wickets for one bowler in a match, also when he took 7 wickets in the very last innings where India won th match.

noormcs5, the performance of the West Indies cricket team in all formats has dropped a lot. The quality of the team is not as good as it was before. Not being able to qualify for the World Cup was a huge reality check for the West Indies cricket team. I just hope that they do not become irrelevant. I also hope that what happened with Zimbabwe does not happen with them. But at this moment things are not looking good for them at all.

India performed really well. This was an almost flawless performance from India. Probably the fast bowlers of India could have done a little better. Other than that it was pretty much flawless.

The match turned to be flawless from India, and it is all because of the opponent. If the opponent is strong enough surely the Indian team could've struggled. Just think of the WTC match against Australia. India was at its best, but they weren't able to win the match. West Indies have dropped performance and to understand the performance progress of India we need to watch its matches against the top teams with the same squad.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What could make you get into a fight with your fellow gambler? on: July 15, 2023, 11:37:19 PM
This doesn't make sense, just because the account belongs to a person he can't take the major share of the winning. Maybe if the two have got difference of opinion on the pick and the account owner have opted for the right choice, then he could have a bit more than the friend who agreed to go with his choice.

In these days these kind of situations won't happen, because opening an account for the purpose of gambling is very simple and tutorials were available on how to make deposits, withdrawal and play.

Everytime the market experience downfall there'll be some kind of fud, panic waves and fake news circulating around. When it comes to halving, it is much about the cyclic movement than the reactive move in the market. For this reason the price always tries to reach the ath for the season after a bearish movement in the market. This is the right time to make an entry to experience the best of the halving, hut majority get into fear when such scenario happens close around the days of halving.
531  Economy / Economics / Re: SPENDING MORE THAN YOU EARN on: July 15, 2023, 11:15:14 PM

Good tips, the temptation to spend money at this time is very large compared to when I was in college or at the start of work, namely 10 years ago, now malls are designed to be very attractive so that it makes us want to shop, restaurants are also designed to make us able to last a long time and try all the available menus so as to make finances we can get screwed.

You are right with this. This is part of their advertising means to attract customers but one can still avoid most of this temptation if one make a good plan for his money and lifestyles. I'm not expecting a hustler to visit restaurants for all day meal, this may be so expensive for him/her. Shopping with list and making a budget for your monthly income can save you from any attractive design place on any goods and services.
For marketing big money is used than for the development of the product. This is why people were in a force to spend more than what they earn. Another reason, the lifestyle have got a transition to status based one. Here people have started to own things based on status and not by reason or by need. This makes people spend much on unwanted things. Spending more than what you earn is really bad and this is the root cause for all the financial problem in one's life.
532  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it Advisable joining Bitcoin signal group? on: July 15, 2023, 11:07:23 PM
A Bitcoin signal group is just like any crypto community on the internet with thousands of members from all backgrounds who do not know themselves. It's risky. You could learn alot from these strangers and you could also get scammed by the bad eggs. That's is why any offer they are making to you, just remember that if it is too good to be true then it is not what it is.

A Bitcoin signal group is no different. You have the internet to do your own research on whatever offers they are making you. Don't be too stupid ask the right questions.
Yeah, it is kind of data sharing. There are free as well as paid signal providers. Everywhere you'll be provided with suggestions and it is upto us whether to make a trade or not. According to me, being part of the group will let you know about crypto currencies in demand. Apart, it can be considered as a reference data for a trade. Further we need to analyse and make the trade or leave it. With paid signals it is much of money focused than support, because the winning credit taken by the signal providers and the loss on our mistake.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: July 15, 2023, 10:57:24 PM
An amazing journey of Saudi football by bringing in quality players and coaches. Yes, all their efforts are aimed at orbiting young stars to strengthen the National Team in the future. Their best moment as i can remember was when the Saudis beat Argentina 2-1 in the 2022 World Cup. Second after the game was over, Ronaldo made a new milestone by joining Al Nassr in the SPL.

I think these two things are the benchmark for us discussing the SPL today, the step to strengthen the SPL by recruiting former European players and former European coaches should be appreciated. Considering that besides making the League more competitive the Saudi State also gets various other benefits in various forms, such as increasing visitors to the country to watch their League.
Obviously the SPL will be a more competitive league next season because it's not just one team that has managed to get European players, several teams have even done this so there will be more interesting competition for us to see next season. So, in my opinion, Ronaldo and Benzeman are two players who have quite a big influence on the progress of the SPL next season.

In fact i think ronaldo and benzema will probably attract a large number of companies to join the SPL to do promotions as these two players are quite influential for now. Besides that, big profits will definitely come to them where they get it in terms of ticket sales or the broadcasting rights they get. Al-Ittihad is one of the most favored teams for next season and Al-Nassr is a pretty strong competitor for Al-Ittihad Club in the race for the trophy next season.
Yeah, Ronaldo was the first player that attracted the other European players to have that mindset on playing in SPL. Benzema did a sharp move and I know that he will bring more people to stay more focus on SPL. Ronaldo and Benzema are two world great players that have won good amount of trophies,this will even attract more professional players to see SPL and a league that will be a honour for them to play in. One beautiful thing is that they will appreciate your quality with a huge sum of money that most players will be tempted of.
Teams will never mind to pay good sum of money to the popular ones. It is all through them big business gets rolled. I don't have stats, but I'm sure that the business before the involvement of Ronaldo into Saudi Arabia Pro League and after his participation have very big difference. When more popular players make their participation this gonna make big business. Everything have got a calculation and based on the same will be the amount spent on players.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 15, 2023, 10:52:40 PM
Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?

Filipino first-time bettor wins 15 million Dirhams in Dubai lottery
This is what we called luck and destined to win the jackpot, imagine the emotion of many bettors after reading this, I'm sure many will be very envois about this one. Personally, I'm not since I'm not betting it lottery that much and I'm not expecting to win as well, its like a million of probability for me to beat the system. This is not the first time that a Filipino won the lottery in other countries, its good that they are finding their luck there and living a good life too, hope they will spend the money correctly.
Life change in a single lottery win. It is time for him to act wise and use it in the right way to make his life better. Some people easily get into the ease of life and spend lavishly and finds it hard to live after some time period. Same time he should also keep it secure as he can receive threats. In my country a person who won lottery hide himself for weeks and later the reason behind was the relatives who kept disturbing him with money request. Winning a lottery is enjoyable and only with our activities we can make it the best.
535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Signs that indicate you are not addicted to gambling on: July 14, 2023, 11:59:50 PM
Gambling addiction can't be identified easily, because most of the gamblers keep it as a secret and never reveal it to the outer world.
A person who have the ability to understand his/her position at gambling is not addicted to gambling. Simply when a person is in loss, he should know to take a break than making the bet value high to recover the loss. This is kind of addiction to have the wallet balance same as the start of the wager.
536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: July 14, 2023, 11:59:14 PM
First, you think suicide is never an option, regardless of depression. This shows courage but ignores the hardships some people suffer. I agree that gambling addiction ensnares many. To claim it's unavoidable? That's like saying a poor hair day is lifelong! Even the most stubborn addictions can be overcome. Sorry about your online betting issues. Like a leaky ship, right? You can win if you realize you're more than your losses. Like a duck, let losses slide off your back and paddle hard under the surface!

I still don't know how manipulative it is for one to gamble with their school fee.
Now my question is; Is the bettor upto the minimal age requirement to gamble?
Because I know too well that responsible gambler would never gamble with his or their school fee after knowing too well about the principles of gambling, and of one gambling with what they could be able to lose instead of using a whole lots of school fees to gamble thinking they would strike a harder winning maybe doubling their school fees.
Being responsible will never have the thoughts of gambling with the tuition fees, but everytime things won't be the same. There will be difference of mindset based on the win and loss experienced by the gambler during his wager. Everyone have the feeling of winning good money and settling all the debts and enjoy life. The reality will be understood only while experimenting it in real time.

My first gambling experience was really nice and it was on sports betting. I want to try it and it was something unplanned and I'm not sure of the odds and all. Just placed the bet and I was able to win. It was on directbet where we need to send the bet amount to a specific wallet and we'll receive it on our wallet if won. I won the bet and it was really nice to see the winning amount in thr wallet.
538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: July 13, 2023, 11:52:14 PM
There is 229 runs opening partnership between both openers. West Indies got first break through at score of 229. Yashasvi Jaiswal is having ideal start of his test career, you won't get better start then that. West Indies really need to do something about there team as time is running out of there hands. This West indies are no way near India team and it looks like India is playing with some associate team.
West Indies have gone completely down. I don't know when this team will get back to form. It is the team that is full of legendary players and now everything have gone upside down. I don't know how things could change. There needs to be some arrangements to overcome the scenario. If this isn't addressed at the right time, even they could drop down from the better position in the T20 cricket format.

Gambling is something completely different from cryptocurrency, but the usage of bitcoin into gambling in its beginning days makes it more related. Some believes that cryptocurrency is developed to fulfill the gambling industry as people expected anonymity with their gambling activities. This isn't true, because the reason behind the innovation is to fulfill things that weren't got perfect with the banking system and to eliminate the third man involvement.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Healthy mindset to save earnings from gambling on: July 13, 2023, 11:47:13 PM
Mindsets were just a myth. Everything related to gambling is connected to luck. Some form of gambling is much associated with skills. At times even the skills doesn't bring us winning moment. It is all the luck that favour us when we go for with some random choice. Mindset plays a role when we're gambling. Personally whenever I feel frustrated I do gambling and this leads to loss which is a known fact, but being lucky at the moment have the opposite reaction happening. This even calms down and makes us come out of the frustration.
