561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The best game with a cryptocurrency deposit? on: November 28, 2023, 09:05:10 AM
I think that best game is Aviator. Ever tried it? It's like a thrilling crypto rollercoaster where your bet takes a flight, and the multiplier soars as the plane zooms through the skies. The catch? Any moment it can nose-dive, and poof, there goes your bet.  Trust me, the adrenaline rush is real!

What sets Aviator apart, though, is that you can test your wings in demo mode without risking real coins.  Playing with crypto has its cool perks, especially if you dig the whole anonymity vibe. Aviator, though, has this unique charm – besides the crypto angle, you can go on a test flight without spending a dime.

With so many online casinos jumping on the crypto bandwagon, it's refreshing to find a game that lets you experience the excitement without emptying your wallet. Check out more about the Aviator demo mode and maybe find your go-to casino right here: https://westerncapebirding.co.za/aviator-demo-mode . I would also like to hear about your favourites
Nice try to promote that website mate, but I guess this is not the first time that we have seen this kind of shilling for a newbie member. And this is not something new as others have pointed out, this is similar to crash game, maybe they just put a spin on it's name to sounds like this is new. Of course, we can try it with the demo mode, enjoy it and think that we can beat the system.

However, when we play real money or crypto, it will not be the same with the demo mode. Most likely the demo mode is set to give players a win, to give them false hope in my opinion. But when you deposit, chances are going to be low playing this exciting game, go can even lost at 1.01 odds.

The Spurs experienced another defeat, previously they also lost to the Warriors but now to stronger team, namely the Nuggets with difference of 12 points.
But in today match against the Nuggets they performed quite well and indeed the Spurs are not balanced opponent when faced with the Nuggets.
Currently, Spurs are at the bottom of the western region and whether they will be better or not in the future is uncertain.

Spurs is still a very young and raw team for me. Yes, they have the number 1 draft pick in Wemby, but he still not enough for the Spurs because they keep on losing and struggling in every game. I think the problem is that many wanted to be the guy in this team, the alpha and the leader. So there could be power struggle inside, you don't know who will be the go to guy.

Sometimes it will be Wemby, and there are games that Johnson is playing good and doing the damage for the team but there were no support. Or it could be Branham or Hasell. They are still trying to figure out everything at this point.
563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Subriel Matias vs. S. Ergashev (IBF jr. welterweight title) Nov. 4: Las Vegas on: November 27, 2023, 05:38:17 AM


Yes, he is still with a perfect record and he shows in this fight that he can take punishment too and has a good chin. It was test for his early as Ergashev is coming strong with power. But he wasn't able to sustain that kind of pace and maybe when he realized that his power doesn't have any effect on Matias, he started to doubt himself as the round goes and so he quit.

I do agree, Prograis, Romero and Lopez will be a good matchup for him. His style is definitely makes the fights very difficult for this fighter. But let's see if they are willing to fight a pressure fighter like Matias.
Ergashev has solid punches but unfortunately for him, Matias can take those punches and he has a good defense, he alluded to and blocked those hard punches while Ergashev was having a hard time with his defense, and Matias kept pressuring him, Matias proved to be a better fighter between the two this is his biggest opponent so far with a very good record and he made it so easy.
With the way he fights, he can take other popular champions in his division like Romero and Lopez, and can beat these guys.
Ergashev has a explanation though, he said that he can't move his legs in the last 2 rounds. Not sure what is that all about, it could be that he was hit by the power of Matias or we all know that leg cramps in boxing is a sign that the fighter is not rehydrate or at least someone messed it up, like a massage or something that's why he was affected by it. I remember Manny Pacquiao has the same reasons, forget about who's opponent it was, it could be in his last fight against Ugas.

Nevertheless, we can't deny Matias here, the guy has power and solid chin and now a champion that others in the 140 lbs shouldn't take lightly as he seems to be not well known amongst the latest champion that we have right now.
564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: From Mining to Gambling: A Rollercoaster Ride in the Crypto World on: November 27, 2023, 04:28:25 AM
Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience diving into the world of mining and crypto. I purchased three L3+ machines and enjoyed a nice profit from hashing on Nicehash for Bitcoin mining. However, with minimal knowledge, I delved into futures trading, following a paid signal WhatsApp group with just $500. I would enter trades with $200, experiencing some quick wins, making $50 or $100, but ultimately losing it all. Despite earning around $3,000 worth in BTC from mining, I lost it all in futures trading.

Then, I stumbled upon a crypto casino online. I deposited $20 and started playing various original casino games, winning about $350, all in USDT, only to lose it shortly after. Despite winning and losing amounts like $500 or $1,000 from subsequent deposits, I eventually found myself with just $50. I decided to play keno, choosing 10 out of 40 numbers. Luck seemed to be on my side as I made over $100,000 in 14 days. That night, I moved $85,000 to a cold wallet and left $7,000 in the casino to make a daily profit of $200. Additionally, I had $5,000 in Binance. The following morning, I eagerly joined the casino only to watch in dismay as I lost $7,000 in just 10 seconds. Frustrated, I deposited $10,000 from the cold wallet, only to lose it in less than a minute. I continued with a deposit of $20,000, experiencing the same outcome. Observing my substantial losses adding up to over $48,000, I then withdrew the remaining $43,000 from the cold wallet and wagered it all in the casino, losing it. Binance also suffered, and in the span of 3 minutes, I lost over $100,000.

That's my story, and I apologize if it was lengthy. I went to bed wealthy and woke up poor again.
It was a nice read, unfortunately, it had a sad ending. And yes it was a roller coaster ride, as a fellow gambler, I know how you feel when you win that big and thought that you can continue to win or at least manage your own capital. But lo and behold, just like most of the gamblers here, most of the time we lost control of ourselves, our decisions behind clouded and all we want is to get back what we lost initially and chase it.

So hopefully, this could be a very expensive lessons for you and to other gamblers as well. I know it's hard to control our emotions, but just imagine what you could have done with that money that you already won without any sweat.
565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte (December 2) on: November 25, 2023, 04:17:25 AM
It's less than 2 weeks already and we'll see if Ryan Garcia has improved since joining Derrick James. But still, it is hard to make this fight a basis if Ryan is ready for a title fight because Duarte is only a 135-fighter. Sometimes it is sad when Ryan complains as to how Davis made him drop in weight and not fight his confident weight. But here he is exploiting a 135 fighter to move up in weight. So this time, I am hoping the underdog to score an upset. Ryan has already been dropped after getting hit in the chin and was stopped by a body shot so somehow Duarte has a clue on how things should be done. But it won't be easy since Ryan is fighting in his comfortable weight so he will definitely come out strong and Duarte might appear slower and needs to acclimatize due to the added weight which he is not used to.

Ryan was the good boxer compared with Oscar from their past game history.But we can't sure the history will be repeated again,So we may have a match to the Oscar.But the skilled person like the Ryan can't be beated with the less skills.The Oscar should check the previous game of the Ryan and do improve of the skills basd on the previous game.Even though the boxer keep increase of the new skills,the weakness will survive for the longer period.The boxer will  increase or decrease of the weight based on the game and the title.Mostly the boxer will reduce their weight to play for the title of the less weight boxer.If the boxer want to play the game of more weight compared to his weight,it's not easy for the gambler to win after increased weight.
I think what he says that Ryan Garcia went into another coaching changes, he went from Eddy Reynos->Goosen-> and now Derrick James. And so we need to look if Garcia has improved with his new trainer or not. Specially on how he throws and generate power on his signature left hook. It didn't land significant against Tank Davis though, as Tank is expecting that Ryan will throw that so once he dock, he throws a body shot.

But Duarte is not short so it will be a different strategy and different fight for Ryan Garcia. And as I have said, what new techniques did he learn from James? We can only find out the answers during the fight and see if Ryan can still fight and still a good boxer.
566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: David Benavidez Vs Demetrius Andrade Interim WBC Super Middleweight title fight on: November 25, 2023, 04:06:11 AM
However, Charlo came in overweight, 3.4 pounds against Benavidez Jr. This fight is at a catchweight of 163 pounds, and yet Charlo came in still close to the super middleweight at 166.4 pounds.

Not sure if this fight is going to continue, but there are talks that Charlo will have to pay Benavidez as penalty for going over the catchweight so that they can just proceed with the fight.

It is also reported that the weigh in was done behind close doors with no media around.

This is unprofessional behavior from a fighter who's been coddled by his promoter and the WBC who allowed him to keep his title despite not defending it in over two years. This was supposed to be a showcase that would lead to bigger fights. This will tarnish his image and makes it seem like he isn't serious about his career anymore.

Quote
It is also reported that the weigh in was done behind close doors with no media around.
The official weight-in is always behind closed doors and the ceremonial weigh-in is the one that is open to the public. It should be happening right now so we will see if there is any update on this situation.
I do agree, this is very unprofessional on the side of Charlo and his trainer, how then they let this one slip? Maybe we if this is just 1 lbs over then it might be cool, but more than 3 lbs? His trainers and handlers knows better, what's their reason? they uses and calibrated wrong scale? Sr says that's they will penalized Charlo $75,000 per pound that he is overweight.

So let's see who the fight will go, this is going to be heated from round 1. Jr says that he is going to "fuck up" Charlo real bad because he looks it as they intentionally going overweight in this fight.
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblin with crypto because taxation makes no sense? on: November 25, 2023, 12:05:06 AM
This made me curious. Is there anybody here who actually pays taxes for his/her gambling wins whether from a crypto platform or not? While I'm aware that any form of income is subject to taxes in my country, I cannot remember of a single instance in which I paid for my gambling wins. I'm not sure how strict this kind of taxation is being implemented in other countries, but it isn't strictly done here.

Anyway, I guess crypto gambling isn't actually designed to shirk tax responsibilities. After all, most of these gambling platforms are duly registered and have KYC terms.
Not me, not that I don't want to pay taxes, but to be honest, gambling taxes here are lax, specially online or even in traditional based casinos. Maybe if you win the lotto or something you will be tax, but playing on casinos? I don't think that everyone is paying taxes or even declaring it in their tax returns.

Yeah, I think in the beginning, this is not what crypto based platform wanted to see, or even exchanges (but right now they are heavily tax specially in the US if I'm not mistaken). Hopefully there will still be some leniency as far as online crypto platform for tax purposes, otherwise it's going to be huge for us players.

And we have an upset as the Magic defeated the Boston Celtics at their home court. It was really close in the first 2 quarters, Celtics taking a 10 point lead by the Magic keeps themselves in the game with the 2 Wagner and Banchero.

But in the 3rd quarter, when the Magic took the lead, they never look back. Although the Celtics is a good team, they try to mount a rally and put pressure on the Magic. But they responded with good defense, ball rotation and finding the right men.

Also even if they have the lead and already winning, they keep on scoring as the they need to score more to be able to make it in the next round for this in-season tournament format.
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is this a good advice? on: November 24, 2023, 11:23:15 PM
When people gamble too much but don’t win, I assume that they are just contributing money and one day they’ll just win it back.
Not sure where you got this idea mate, but I don't think it's safe to assume that what you lost in gambling, you can simply win it back, if this is what you are trying to say. Of course, there could be cases that people won, but majority like me, playing all year, will be in the negative by this time unless we win big like a jackpot or a lotto or something.

My advice is that when you’re playing these games and you’re losing, you may want to take some time off. If you later come back and the losses continue, then stop and try to play a different type of game. Don’t let the one step closer advice make you go broke. You may be lucky and it happens like that for you, but it’s also possible you’re just giving away your money for nothing but some believe.
Yes, take some time off, like breaking the curse if you are in a losing streak. And even if you are winning form, you don't know that in a blink of an eye, you are going to lose all the money that you have win and then the worst is that it could include your initial capital. If this happens, gonna be hard mentally as you have already the money in your hand and yet you continue because you think that you can double it up again.
570  Economy / Gambling / Re: YoCa.sh Multichain Casino | No Deposits, Decentralized, No Kyc, Instant Payouts on: November 24, 2023, 05:30:11 AM
First of all, I wish to welcome YoCash casino unto one of the biggest community of crypto lovers here on the face of the planet, and it's really also nice to know that your decentralized casino plans to launch a p2p kind of game, which I have always long to experience how gambling on a p2p casino looks like or work, because this is not the first we hearing several new casinos promising to offer a p2p feature and claim to offer no kyc but never did, of which if your casino can be sincere and transparent enough, I'm sure they will be able to build reputation here on this forum. While secondly, it seems nobody have suggested you launching a signature campaign here on this forum, because as a new casino, launching of a signature campaign is one best way to expose your brand to the millions of people who come visiting regularly here on this forum.
Hopefully a p2p casino can be launched soon without any issues or problems, because that's what started here, gambling is the first use case of bitcoin and it's p2p, just a simply deposit and withdrawal address, nothing more, nothing less.

As for the signature campaign, yes it's a good suggestion as well, but it's up to them on how they wanted to promote this casinos here. But having a signature campaign and not just review campaign, it might bring more traffic to their site and will have a big boost as they will be exposed all throughout this community. So let's see, I would have imagine that maybe some reputable campaign managers might have reach out to them already and most likely discussion is going on behind as far as signature campaign goes.
571  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bye Bye Bear Market :) on: November 24, 2023, 05:19:44 AM
New all time high this December? I doubt that it's going to happen, we will not be having that kind of spike though, we have to make a gain of more of more than 100% at the current price of Bitcoin. Not saying that it might not happen, but the probability is not there as it will take a lot of money from investors. So it's better that we remain with the pattern, we will have to wait for the block halving to happen and then in the next 2 years, new all time high can be reach.

That's how the market's ecosystem is, we don't want a artificial pump because Bitcoin is not known to be that market, that kind of movement is more on the altcoin side. As I have explain in other thread, it's a pump and dump scheme, nothing more.

I agree with you, before the halving Bitcoin will reach a fairly deep decline again, maybe we will see a range below 30k$, and after that it will rise slowly.
but everyone of course expects a very high rise, and in a short time, but it is the patient people who will get their reward.
The lowest low that has been predicted is at least $32k, that is if we ever see that decline that we are talking about before the halving. But so far though, the market is really holding up good for now, no new dip or at least the sentiments is very positive that we might not see another decline, but on the other hand, we very bullish that we might see $40k at the end of the year.

So obviously, that's what we see right now,

a) a decline to $32k, to which another great opportunity to accumulate
b) price going towards > $40k in December, and as high as $50k.
572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 9 Years Before He finally claim his lotto rewards on: November 24, 2023, 03:54:56 AM
-nip-
My questions are :
Do you think it's worth the wait, he's getting 6% interest per annum but he still has to pay a lot of money and suffers a lot even to the point of having a rift with his daughter
Will you do the same thing and fight for your rights to claim the prize
$217k is not a small amount of money in the US not to mention the Philippines, so I believe the wait and the effort given to it are all worth it. This is an example of a determined heart to get justice and it's justifiable since what he pursued justice for is worth it. For the daughter, it's a mere familiar issue which will easily get resolved and I am sure with the final result, the daughter would be very proud and happy for her father.

However, the only painful part is the value of the money which would have greatly decreased over the course of the legal battle. The 6% annual interest is nothing that can quantify the decreased value of the money due to inflation in the country within the past 9 years.

Well, the waiting made by the winner is not a joke; he still applied his patience because he knew what he was fighting for in the office. The fact that you kept going back and forth to the office as if showing him not to rely on you didn't stop him from following up.
Yeah, and it I have to guess, that will be what 2 set of Presidents of the country of the Philippines to be able to get justice and all the money that he has deserved. That's some fighting spirit and patience of the winning ticket. Not sure what justice looks like in the country, but it's been that long then it's a slow process there.

The fighting spirit he showed there was intense. His persistence paid off just so he could achieve what he knew was his. He didn't really stop it; that's why I'm impressed with his determination, and everything still paid off as he expected.
And so everything in the end, has paid off, he can now live luxuriously with the family and hopefully the daughter will also have forgiveness in her heart so that there is a cinderella and moral lessons that everyone can learn from what the man has experienced.
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 24, 2023, 12:58:58 AM

Yes, he was given the exposure, perhaps the team expects something big from Chet or he is just a player that really wanted to help his team, and so far we have noticed his performance and it's scary his potential will be in the future.

And it's hard not to compare him with Wemby, both are running for a rookie of the year and it looks like Chet might have a slight advantage if we will see today's voting.

Nevertheless, it's a long season and we will see more of them and we will see how the Spurs will break from their losing streak or Chet really becoming a solid OKC player.


Chet before his injury has been expected to perform and now OKC gives him all that time to bring everything in, and he's not disappointing anyone, though it's too early for concluding but if Chet will continue and will play without any injury this season winning ROY is possible.


On the other hand, Wemby is also doing his best, but support is not theirs for him, unlike Chet who got SGA who can really help him to establish his

skills, someone that can carry him and win games alongside with him.

I think Victor Wembanyama also have a great supporting cast that could help get into his best form and reach highest potential, but unlike OKC, the San Antonio Spurs is a complete work in progress and Gregg Popovich doesn't even have a definitively role for Wembanyama yet, he's play currently playing as either a forward or center, with Zach Collins still occupying the center role more, while the Spurs best play makers have not been always available too, speaking of Tre Jones, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson. OKC have taken the last entire season with Chet out injured to figured out how he would slot perfectly into the team, and regardless of all these neither Chet nor Wembanyama have underperformed so far this season, and I believe they can only get better to be very honest!

Yeah somehow he have good and understanding teammates that can play with the role the coach set. But that's not enough since they also need to step up because nothing gonna happen with them if they continue to lose and it mentally distract Wemby especially all fans are watching him play and follow his progress. But I believe that Chet willl win the ROTY this season since between two comparison he is much consistent player than Wemby and OKC is doing so good this season.
If there is a improvement, I think it will be more on Wemby as it's obvious that he is a work in progress and being experiment by the great coach Pop. And if I'm not mistaken, in the first 5-6 games he was just used sparingly, maybe trying to avoid the kid from getting injured.

And although he is great, he is still raw as you watch him play. That's one advantage of him though, he can and will developed in the next couple of years and he will really be look scary. Both Chet and Wemby has a lot of potential but it will be a very close race for the ROY.

Is BTC technology a failing/failed technology because it has no referrals, but rely on an exchanges' program which aims for users to earn some dollars by referral codes?

Would referral codes even be a necessary initiative for the BTC investors and customers who intend to not only earn substantially by trading or HoDling, but by sharing their referral codes/links?

Is it even worth it to focus on earning by sharing referral codes?

Your thoughts are welcomed!
Not sure where you get this idea of referral codes and then you say that it's a failed technology. Referral codes are only for business, obviously, Bitcoin is not business as it was designed to be a payment scheme. You can argue that right now it is a assets to make money, but still though, it's very far to have that kind of referral codes just to keep it going.

In the last 10 years, it has continue to market, and if you are not yet here during the last bull run, it goes as high as $69k without those "referral codes" that you somewhat incentives others to look for more bitcoin investors.

Lol, this is what boxing nowadays offers to its fans. If Garcia couldn't knockout this 135-fighter in Duarte then I think he is a bum who gets his hype through social media. As I've said in my previous post that Duarte is a cherry-picked opponent to somehow make Garcia look good on his comeback fight after that devastating loss to Tank Davis. The pressure is on him to KO or at least give a very impressive 12-round fight.

I hope Garcia's got the winning formula this time because if he stumbles in this fight, he might have to grind through more bouts before he can snatch a convincing victory and revive the hype. Gotta keep in mind, the Garcia vs. Davis showdown was a massive PPV hit. It'd be a bummer if Garcia's next big bout tanks in terms of PPV views.
He's always have that winning formula, I mean it was his first lost against a very tough Tank Davis, and as we have seen, he seems to be weight drain, before and after the fight (rehydration clause). So it make sense to move up to jr welterweight as his body is maturing. And I think even at 140 lbs, he looks to be small and he could go up as high as 147 lbs., but let's not get ahead of our selves for Ryan.

First he really need to win this one and so his name will be in the ranking. And with that, and with Ryan's popularity, he can make a fight and go for the belt for either or anyone that has the current belt. Going to be a win-win for them as the money that Ryan can bring in the table is potentially huge.

I wouldn't call him a marketing officer for Bitcoin though, if you want to, you can also call that title to Michael Saylor as he is extremely bullish about bitcoin. You just have to understand what are the narratives from behind his entities like BlackRock and why he made that statement and why they are looking for a Bitcoin Spot ETF approval for their clients.

It's because the massive profits that they are going to make if SEC will allow it. And with that kind of influence they have as they are trillion asset company, we should not be surprised of their positive support to BTC.
577  Economy / Speculation / Re: The low support level may still be tested during 2023. on: November 23, 2023, 11:18:22 AM
I really wouldn't be surprised or disappointed if bitcoin price tests the low support below $20k again in 2023 (but I'm sure it won't). Even though bitcoin is still trading above $24k at the moment, the possibility of a drop cannot be ignored. I don't think prices will hold well over the next few months, so of course I need to set up a budget to plan my purchases and build a strong portfolio.

Don't panic, do some analysis and collect some bitcoins if you have more budget. I will be doing this for the rest of the year and hope it will benefit me for years to come. Don't sell at loss, that's good advice for anyone holding it so far.
I think low support levels and the possibility of a drop in Bitcoin price below $20k in the remainder of 2023 are unlikely to occur again. Especially now that Bitcoin is trading above $37k, and even has the potential for price increases to continue.
Yeah, I do agree, I'm not seeing a huge drop to $20k because it will be a disaster at this point. Last year, we can understand it as we are in the bear market. But now we are closing on the bearish sentiments and in the last couple of months, we have gain a lot, no more sideways pattern, but price increased as high as $39k.

And with that, December is just knocking on the corner, and if I will play guessing game, we might see the price going to $40k'ish or even higher. Usually December seems to be a good month to us and hopefully the pattern will continue.

The main event though is still very interesting, David Benavidez and Andrade knows what is on the line here.

A win may result in a fight against the cash cow in Canelo Alvarez, so for sure, this is going to be a great fight. And if Charlo vs Jr turns out to be also a entertaining fight then we got our money's worth.

Some things don't have to be taught but one can learn by imitation if he wants. Gambling is one of them. A common trait in human nature is that they love to earn money without any effort. When a gambler conducts his gambling in front of a non-gambling person, he quickly becomes addicted to gambling. In gambling A person can learn gambling through friends or relatives. There is no doubt that if the parents of a family are gambling regularly then their children will be gamblers. Even if there is no person gambling within the family these days, it can be easily influenced by others.
Children can imitate what adults do easily because somehow, they can do it. If adults are gambling near them, the children can see it in a way that the adults don't, so the children can see and remember it so they can try it themselves. This is why we have to be careful in carrying out activities if there are children around us, and we shouldn't do anything that could make them curious, for example, gambling on a cellphone. We have to be able to divert their attention to other things so they won't ask about gambling or other things they don't need to know. Parents must keep their children away from gambling or other negative things so that they do not try to do it.
That is true, even a slight discussion of gambling or if the children heard about it, they will be curious and who knows, maybe they will research about it. That's why as a parents, we should stay away from gambling in front of our children. And most likely since we are in the stage that it is acceptable with online gambling, we really need to be very careful in front of them.

We as parents should set a good example. Of course, not everyone is a good parent, but at least we should try to avoid this kind of slip specially if we are a gambling addicts. It will really denote that gambling is good if our children are exposed early.

Coach Pop grabbing the mic to tell the crowd in San Antonio to quit booing Kawhi was pretty crazy. Even the announcers commented that they’d never seen anything like that before. Good on coach Pop to have the crowd show some class. Also nice to see the Clippers putting together a winning streak after their rough start.
Yes, you have to commend coach Pop for calling a spade a spade, it's already been years since Kawhi has left the Spurs and coach Pop has nothing ill about Leonard living them. On the other hand, Kawhi became one of the best after his stint with San Antonio and won a ring with the Raptors.

It seems that the Clippers have settled down, after a rant by their announcer. They have responded already. But I guess, we will have to see them against the best team in either conference, not saying that Spurs is bad, but they are now in the cellar even though they have the best Rookie so far.
