521  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to expect this bull run? on: February 11, 2024, 04:03:53 PM
This question is like a spoiler but it seems you don't mind it? Okay, in a bull run, basically the price of cryptos are rallying. It's the period when we are selling are coins for a nice profit. So before it happens, make sure you already stock a lot of good cryptos. Okay? Good Luck!

On your other question, yes, a crash after a bull run is only normal and it is called a correction. We can also say that the bull run is over and then the bear season is now taking its place. If you have a plan for selling, you must also have a plan for buying and you should do that once the correction and bear season are happening. You still can do it now, since we aren't still in the bull.

It’s just so sad how people are so quick to write off Arsenal as title contenders maybe cause of what happened last season, but this season Arsenal is more of a threat than the Liverpool team, a win in the tomorrow game will not only boost their confidence it will also draw them closer to the cup. And mancity having a game in hand does not guarantee a win for them, they will be playing against Brentford with in form Ivan Toney, it not going to be an easy one for the city side if they approach the game with over confidence. Arsenal on the other hand if they can try and savage this remaining game and try and gain points like Liverpool and City, I don’t see a reason why they should be talked about as title contenders.
    Arsenal is being seen as the underdog in the race of the title. But people shouldn’t do the mistake of writing off the underdogs, I think they’ve got every chance they have the squad debt that caused them the trophy last season. With Trossard being a perfect super sub for the team and the fine dynamic they have in the midfield. I won’t be surprised to see Arsenal lift the cup cause they really play a very fine football.
I agree, we can't write off any team which is doing impressive, and now their firepower is also giving them best with in last 3 games they score 10 goals and have 9 points give them good advantage for the staying at the top, but we have 14 matches left, and any team can go through for the title race even Manchester City is superior but still they need to work on for their chances because Liverpool and Arsenal both are not going to allow them for taking this all easily.

We have interesting season with many teams touch the top spot and then slip badly now in last few weeks how things will be work predicting about his is never been easy because staying at the top with their quality and consistency is easy but if you are going to give chance then surely things can go against you quickly.
523  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 11, 2024, 06:05:06 AM
Inter stole full points at home to Roma and this might be the best match of the week. It's very rare to see Roma be this fierce and against Inter they didn't relax their attacks one bit. We know it's impossible for Roma to win against Inter, but with the many goals in this match, it makes the match very exciting to watch. Inter is getting stronger at the top of the standings and Roma must be patient to achieve victory in the next match.
This match is one of the best performance of Roma this season despite losing to the better team Inter Milan but they showed strength instead of weakness for a very solid team Inter Milan. Inter Milan had almost lost in the game but they realised the importance of the victory and got back in the game in the second half and they got two goals that made them very comfortable in the league standings, no doubt the game seems like a derby match and it's going to be one of the most interesting and entertaining game in the SeriaA this week and hopefully the loss to Inter Milan will not affect the performance of Roma in their next game.

Inter Milan is half way title winners 🏆
In the first half, we had good performance from AS Roma as they were doing good job in both defense and attack which give them good reward, and they ended with 2–1 lead but in second half we have no mercy from the Inter Milan, and they were in complete control which not allowed AS Roma to hit any shot on goal which is impressive from the leaders, and they score three goals which give them good win, and now they are going to be clearly leaders for the top until end of the season.

Roma needs to work on their defense which is not giving as they needed at this level and things are surely more difficult in coming weeks as we are heading for the end and most of the top teams trying to have good results and better chance of ending at the top spots now tomorrow we are going to have AC Milan hosting Napoli which is also trying to recover from early loses.
524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 10, 2024, 04:46:56 PM
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are the three teams people are mostly talking about to win the champions league competition and the other good teams in the league can come after them, those like Inter Milan, Arsenal, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. It is true that no team should be underestimated in the fight for the champions league title, but their success and strength as a team currently does not signify that they can go far in the league and couldn’t be eliminated before getting to the finals of the competition.

The round of 16 this season, is not full of competitive matches and most matches can easily be identified who the winner will be and can advance to the next round of the competition. The three teams with high probability of winning the trophy all stands at a very good position to as well advance to the round of 16 without any trouble. The league is very much wide open, but teams that can go far can be seen from here.
You're right about Real Madrid, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich being favourites. Recent form and history make them hard to bet against. I'm not ready to write Barcelona off yet. They may not be in their prime, but football history is full with comebacks and underdog stories that prove anything is possible

This season seems to favour the heavyweights, but the Champions League is unpredictable. After repeated close calls, Manchester City won the title last season. It shows that while favourites exist, the trophy isn't won on paper. The competition and whether any team can topple the hierarchy thrill me
Now we are having few days left in knock out round with too much talk about few favorite due to their superior quality and performance but still we can expect surprises because it's part of the game and match-day performance is also having good impact for all teams no doubt we are having Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid as hot favorite but still few teams which are having good players can create problems, and we can expect changes in coming matches.

Inter Milan, Arsenal and Atlético Madrid are also good teams which are having good players and their results are also not bad with they are surely having not enough quality like we have in top three, but things can go positive for them so who is going to win we have to wait for the result of round of 16 because then some better predictions can go for the all about this season.
525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Selling a property to play gamble on: February 10, 2024, 02:21:03 PM
We should never let gambling take over our lives. It's a big mistake. Selling things is easy but it's not easy to replace what you have lost.
Gambling or any other things that are overly done are not healthy anymore, so it's important to set a limit in every thing that we do. In gambling, we can lose money and if the lost amount is not that big enough, we can easily replace it either by selling a thing, via our jobs salary, earnings in our business, or through any other activities. Depending on a thing, they can be hard or easy to sell.

In our subject here, we are talking about a property. Now if this property was only excess and there is no sentimental value attached to it, selling it is going to be just fine although it does not mean that we can now use all or most of the money in gambling.
526  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How's problem gambling different from compulsive gambling. on: February 10, 2024, 12:03:42 PM
They are different words but they are one with one word which is "problem".. Yes, this type of gambling is a problem if we are on the situation, when you are a compulsive gambling it's the same as you are addicted in gambling, and I haven't heard a testimony from someone who were addicted with gambling being proud and shared a success story. Most of the success story are from being a compulsive gambler to getting out of gambling, so it short it's a problem.

We should not be in the situation where we experience this, as might not be worst to some but on some gamblers this resulted to huge problem like losing their job, even their home and worse destroying the family they build.
Compulsive is when it's frequently occurring and we know that too much is not good anymore. It can cause a problem, so what you said is true that both have the same meaning. Yes, getting out of addiction is a kind of success. They are proud because the journey that they have been through is not easy. Other than getting out of addiction, some gamblers even became a pro and profitable gamblers.

By this, we can say that being addicted is not always or totally a bad thing because it can enhance our ability on that same thing we are doing. It's not always a happy ending though and then it is still possible to be successful even without going through that phase.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you invest on this kind of offer? on: February 09, 2024, 06:11:24 PM
I've never done a bankroll investment before so I don't know how it works, but what OP suggested isn't a risky way as long as the person collecting investments is trusted or there is a way for them to provide some security for the investors because he is saying that if the investment is lost, he will repay the amount in full and if he manages to win something with it, the investor gets a share of the profits because of the investment.

So, as said by some other users, I wouldn't mind testing it out with an amount that I can afford to lose even if it won't be lost based on OP's promise, but only if I'm sure that the guy collecting investments is completely trusted and we get to see and experience how he gambles with the money to also enjoy the adventure and see how it works.
You don't need to try it to know how it works but there are always search engines that you can use to learn it and by only reading its name " Bankroll Investment " one might already know what it is all about. There is a risk in any thing, most especially in investing. Anyone can be trusted at first and they can make promises easily but there is no assurance that they can remain like that or it will be followed strictly.

A lot of people and company are like that before just in case you don't know. I'm not saying they are one of it but there is only a possibility, so we must be careful and always stay vigilant just in case we already accepted their offer.
528  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you spent $500-$1000 on bitcoin in 2009-2010 on: February 09, 2024, 04:15:32 PM
Why won't they mine it anymore when they know that there is a person who is interested on acquiring it? And maybe some of them will try to increase the selling value of BTC because the demand of it is too strong. So tell me, will you still buy it? BTC is not hard to mine in the past, so BTC miners can always profit. You should rather say that investors will be afraid of buying it because it might only get dumped by you.

Well, I doubt it either because why will they continue supporting BTC when they are also aware that Satoshi Nakamoto owns a lot of BTC and there is also a possibility that he will sold all his BTC's? BTW, your thread is cool as it has a plot twist. I really thought we will be a millionaire if we start with that but it turns out the opposite is what can happen Cheesy.
529  Economy / Speculation / Re: BitcoinETF approval will possibly cause much bigger jump than most people expect on: February 09, 2024, 08:08:53 AM
BlackRock and similar institutions have a lot of money to do whatever they want.
They have their clients' money that they can't just throw around - and all those trillions of $ they manage were never meant to end up in Bitcoin as some imagined. Especially not in BTC mining, which will become less and less profitable, considering that after the next halving, only about 450 BTC will be mined per day, which is literally just dust compared to the 19.6 million BTC that are already in circulation.

In addition, in less than 10 years, 99% of all coins will be mined, and I believe that even before that, many miners will move to some new, more profitable projects.
I would say "mining becomes less profitable" was a thought before every halving, but the reality is that if the price of bitcoin goes up, then mining it still stays profitable. So, if you mine 1 bitcoin per day at 40k dollars per bitcoin, and if you mine 0.5 bitcoins per day when it is 100k, you are making more money with the second one, while you mine less bitcoins.

This is why after every halving the price usually goes up, to make sure that miners keep going strong and protect the integrity of blockchain. I am not saying blackrock made a great decision, nor will they just make a mistake, they are just diversifying their portfolio and if people are fine with every single stock they get into, they should be fine with this one as well, not riskier than some other investments.

So, is it safe for me to store my coin there or is there any other wallet I can use to store my coins? I know of electron but apart from the electron is there any other wallet which is safe?.
What do you mean by "there"? Do you mean that you have used a third-party service to buy Bitcoin and have your Bitcoin stored on their platform? If yes, then I would suggest you take them out and store them privately in a non-custodial wallet.

What's wrong with Electron? If your bought amount isn't that high, you can use Electron without any issues as long as you make it secure with a password and keep your seed phrase and private keys safe and secure.

My profile shows that I am still new on Bitcointalk and I would say with my actions I am very interested in learning more about the accumulation process so I can gain more Bitcoin.
It's simple, you earn money and then use that money to accumulate Bitcoin, but make sure that you are only using the money that isn't supposed to be used for something else so that you don't have to worry if the market doesn't go in your desired direction.

Super Bowl will definitely get a lot of betting, it is one of the most wagered games in history, and the fact that it happens every single year, and a single game makes it very fun. I guess maybe world cup could be a bit higher, not entirely sure about that one I need data to be fair, but even if it is, the fact that it's once every four years makes it less wagered I assume (unless it is 4x more than super bowl which I doubt).

These promotions that sportsbet.io is doing feels good, thirty bucks is not a lot of money and picking something crazy like 15 options would be insane, it would be worth betting that much just for the fun of it, you could have some different bet to win later on, but this should be quite fun.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 08, 2024, 07:21:25 PM
I think City will be champions this season. The deciding match will be against Liverpool in March. I bet City will win the EPL competition this season. Their performance is very good and we can see that with the recovery of Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne, City will be very strong. I hope City will return with a complete squad in the match against Everton later.
I don't think Pep will jeopardize any game in the EPL henceforth. He will be playing with his full squad against Everton provided that his key players are fit. Everton are desperately looking for points and they will be playing with a determined spirit and hope they do City some damage. Pep knows what's involved so I don think he will play this game without his full squad.
Now we are heading for the 24th round with no relaxation time for any team with Pepe is surely now having his full team which is ready to give his best because due to injuries they already suffered, and now two opponents are ready to challenge them for the top spot so most chances which team will try to do any experiment will face consequences which are surely lost of the title because things are not easy for any team just 2 points difference and any poor performance can bring them down.

Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne are ready for giving their best, and they are having enough sources which can give them good results which will make things easier for them in coming matches as well in Premier League and Champions League as well.
533  Other / Off-topic / Re: Having a regular/steady income is important as a gambler. on: February 08, 2024, 01:31:01 PM
Simply put, when you have a stable income, your gambling psychology will be more comfortable and less volatile. Because if you lose all your current money, you still have a job to make up for it. But there is a key point here, provided you don't let your gambling affect your current job. For example, after losing all your money one night, you don't want to go to work tomorrow morning, and gradually it will drag your work down, then it will be a problem. Therefore, I think having a stable income is just a necessary condition, but not enough, you need to control your gambling, it must be under control so as not to affect your current job. If you can do it, you can play however you want. Maybe you won't be rich, but you won't have to go into debt or become unemployed because of gambling, right? Grin
Right!
A lot of people don't understand this logic, and they think that a person who has a source of income won't have issues being a gambler but it's not true. You will have problems even if you have a job if you are an irresponsible and reckless gambler because you won't get paid in one day from your job but you can lose everything you have in a single day if you are gambling compulsively, so it depends on how you carry out your gambling activities and nothing else.

That's why, people who have stable incomes should keep in mind that they won't be able to make it with their income if they don't have any control over their emotions when it comes to gambling. You become mentally unstable when you lose a lot of money, and when that happens, you will barely be able to work hence you risk losing your job doing that.
534  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betting without losing your money/no need for deposit on: February 08, 2024, 10:36:01 AM
Faucets are pretty useless these days which is why I am surprised to see op trying to lure people in through one.

Initially, I felt that he was advertising ridiculous stuff since you cannot bet without losing money in the long-term, but his reasoning made sense thanks to faucet usage which is still useless though for most gamblers. Pointless!
He is providing a link to a casino that provides a small amount of faucets so that users can try the games and then make deposits to gamble once they are into the games which is a basic marketing tactic and no faucet is integrated so that users can win and withdraw large amounts of money.

I first thought that OP was promoting a casino of himself and trying to get users to his platform by using this tactic of providing small amounts of Bitcoin Cash but after visiting the link, I realized that he has created a website that redirects you to BCH.games where you can claim faucet and play.

I also believe, that even though it's not generally possible if someone manages to win something from faucet claims, they can't withdraw it before making a deposit.

After your last two predictions posts, here's the result
10 latest predictions:
8 right guesses
2 wrong

In these last two predictions, there were only 2 mistakes, congratulations

Total
29 - right guesses
8 - wrong guesses
Total = 37 predictions
The stats are quite impressive, I must say. It's difficult to find people with such accuracy providing tips and predictions publicly for free so that everyone can make use of them whereas people with a little over 50% winning percentage open their paid group chats and charge money for those who want to be a part of their group.

OP is doing great so far and I appreciate what he is doing for this community it is truly commendable how he is making most predictions correctly. Guessing 29 out of 37 predictions correctly is not a joke and someone using a good enough bankroll can make great profits with these numbers.
536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 08, 2024, 06:23:31 AM
This is the mistake when you make gambling as an alternative to making money with the aim of paying off debts, what will happen is just the opposite, as experienced by the person you mean where instead of getting money but instead losing money and certainly cannot pay debts. As you said, gambling is not a job because there is no certainty for anyone to be able to win, and that means it really doesn't make sense to make gambling a place to earn, especially if your needs are urgent such as paying debts or other things.

On the other hand, this incident can be used as an example that it is indeed a fact that gambling cannot be used as a place to earn considering that there is absolutely no guarantee or certainty that can make you win at the end of the session, and what happens instead is that the situation will get worse where you lose some money and of course you will feel unusual pressure due to the urgent situation of debt plus losing money from gambling. Gambling should be a fun activity to occupy your leisure time without placing any expectations on winning because it is not easy to get lucky.
This has to be one of the most common ways to lose money as well, people keep talking about how they are going to end up making money from it but we all know that mathematically it is impossible for someone to make money forever, even if you get some money quickly by getting a very lucky win, that just means that you are going to end up losing it all back if you keep gambling.

There are situations where people get super lucky, like get the jackpot, and those are lucky but those are one in a million and there is no way that we know you are going to be one of those people and you will probably end up losing it. This is why it should be important that we are checking what we are looking at, and we should find some other way to pay the debt off.

Erik Ten Hag should be grateful that he's team is beginning to fall back to action this season. Westham United suffered huge defeats against Manchester United at Old Trafford. David Moyes was highly dissapointed because the results he recorded wasn't the expectations he had with his team when they visited the Red Devils. Lisandro Martinez injury is a lengthy one because there's no specific results for thr Argentine. He just recover and now we're seeing him on the trends, he's going to be out for 8 weeks, one of the bad news that the Red Devils wouldn't welcome.
Well, at least Manchester United managed to take revenge on West Ham, because previously West Ham managed to beat Manchester United 2-0 but yes, the proof is that Manchester United managed to win better because Manchester United beat West Ham with a score of 3-0. But indeed, at least at this moment West Ham are in a bad trend because after all, in their last three matches in the Premier League that West Ham only got a draw . So yes, it looks like Manchester United success in beating West Ham also happened at a very opportune moment, because at this moment West Ham experienced a decline in performance. But even worse, the defeat made West Ham finally overtaken by Manchester United in the current Premier League standings.
Unpredictable Manchester United doing good job to keeping themselves in the race for fourth spot and their recent wins surely improving their confidence and chances as well now they are going to visit Aston Villa which is surely team to watch in this season and if they are able to have something positive then surely we can expect them to stay in good position until end of this season.

Injuries are surely going to have problem but their fighting spirit and quality players which are now giving good performance surely can bring another surprising end of the season for them because in last few weeks we have some changes which are doing good favour for the interesting end of this season and many teams are in good shape which will make this season good.

"Should" is a strong word and I would say it may take a while. I get that some people may have some doubts but that is not really the case, I do not suggest anyone to have these kinds of musts and have to's, because that would only hurt you. Be more dynamic when it comes to asset management, and yes Bitcoin is by far the best investment anyone can ever make, but that doesn't mean that you should never even look at other things, just look at them and if you think that they are not good enough then you would not do it at all.

I personally believe that the best thing to do at the moment would be just realizing you are not going to end up with a strict mind, sometimes you will test stuff, and just let yourself have the chance to test things sometimes.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another health benefit of online gambling on: February 07, 2024, 04:50:01 PM
I think that is an unintelligent conclusion. Of course, many indoor activities like gaming or watching videos could also minimize infection risk.  However, the phrasing of health benefits is misleading given the actual content focused only on reduced contagion exposure from staying isolated rather than any advantages intrinsically tied to gambling itself.  Online gambling has no actual health benefits to speak of.
Science and medical personnel say that playing video games increases your thinking abilities and your overall reflexes, and since gambling also has games that require critical thinking, I believe it can be a benefit for a gambler if they play gambling games unless they take it too seriously and cause health issues for themselves. I'm also not sure if we can consider this a health benefit or not but it is at least some benefit that we get from playing games.

That being said, I do agree with what some other users said that gambling generally causes more problems than solving existing ones or providing extra benefits, especially if someone already has health issues such as a weak heart, painful eyes, and any other condition that might get severe at certain points when gambling.
