601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use bitcoin when gambling? on: November 12, 2023, 12:00:54 PM
Even before the fee is this high I always feel somehow using Bitcoin to gamble, I think I like using stable coin to gamble more because I will know how much I am risking on a game, I don't want to use calculating worth of Sats and few online casinos don't show value in dollars too.

If you are making money in Bitcoin and you are also a gambler it will be difficult for you to keep using Bitcoin to gamble, because you understand the worth of Bitcoin, instead of storing your Bitcoin for long term hold you are risking it and losing it, so it's possible to feel bad about this.

But you have a choice to avoid Bitcoin when gambling, there are many options like LTC or USDT, most new and old online casinos are now accepting different type of payment options on their platform, it makes things easier for all gamblers.
602  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A tip for staying resposible while gambling. on: November 12, 2023, 11:10:29 AM
While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.
Sticking a paper money to your PC or the wall does nothing, in fact someone can look at as a reminder to keep putting more efforts in gambling, because they have to make money? Do not expect people to all think the same way.

The only way to become a responsible gambler is to understand yourself, everything we do financially is all about calculations, always apply calculations to your spending and make sure you are using the smallest money to gamble, because it's sure that the result gambling will give every time is losses.

Know your worth, know your limit, other things should always come first before gambling, make sure you invest in real stock, and Bitcoin, make sure you have a job that pays and make sure you take care of your family, this is how to be responsible, then what you have left can be risk on gambling.
603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 12, 2023, 09:43:06 AM
Nothing is within my reach, luck comes when it feels like and skills can't be apply to gambling, the only thing I can rely on is how I risk money on gambling, I use up to 2% of my income on gambling and I am satisfied with this, because I have other things going on in my life that's fetching me more money, gambling is for fun to me and yes I some times make money from it but I have never lose my sense to gambling only, I believe in my hardworking, what you work for is where you will make money and feed yourself, gambling is not created to make you rich, you need to be luck enough to get rich through gambling.

There is no way to know when you will be lucky next, and you don't want to believe that you will always be lucky, there are gamblers that are no more gambling today because they believe that they have run out of luck for life, because since they have been trying so hard to make money they haven't get lucky, gambling is really not for everyone.

Know how to manage your hard earned money, that's the right place to apply some skills, you are free to gamble anyway you want or take risk on any game but know what you are right money on, be sure you can be ok after you lose the amount after, this is the most important part of gambling.
604  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What impact does the BTC price have on your gambling habits? on: November 10, 2023, 08:08:40 AM
I've stopped using BTC to gamble since it start recovering from it's 15k dips, my plan is to accumulate many BTC and when it comes to gambling I like using USDT for gambling, few times with Doge coin too, another reason why I don't want to use Bitcoin to gamble lately is the increase in Bitcoin transaction fee, but 1 BTC is still 1BTC anyway, depositing only what a gambler can afford to lose is still the same to me, like buying $20 worth of BTC right now, it's still $20 for the day.

Yet my mind is always on what the value of this $20 BTC will be tomorrow,  so to erase this thoughts out of my mind I now prefer to use other crypto coins for my gambling, Doge coin seem to suit my feelings way better than using Bitcoin.

I doubt that I will be changing my gambling habit for any reasons, when I feel like gambling I will always use what I can afford to lose but what I will never do is expecting to win a very high amount from gambling, I have not much hope in gambling because it's not my company that gives me daily source of income, gambling is not a safe bet for anyone.
605  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Lost of my capital has made me to have a change of mind about Bitcoin . on: November 09, 2023, 10:30:08 AM
The higher the reward you pursue in crypto space the bigger the risk, if you are a beginner for real and you have interest in trading why not start with spot trading? The chances of losing money in spot trading is very low, you just have to buy low and sell high, it takes time and it's less profitable unlike futures and leverage trading where you can use multipliers to make insane amount and this multiplier is also the problem because you can also get wiped out in a second.

Too risky for a newbie, and that is why investing your money in Bitcoin and holding is the most relaxing thing you can do for yourself, the hard part of holding is...

1. If you fail to keep your recovery seed and someone steal your bitcoin, you can avoid this by getting a hardware wallet instead which is more secured than other crypto wallets.

2. If you use the money that you will be needing very soon to invest in Bitcoin you might end up selling at a loss, because when the real time comes because might already be lower than the price you bought it and you just have to sell because you need the money.

Do not invest with money that you will need in some months later, we don't know what the price of Bitcoin will be then, it can be higher and it can be lower, so always invest with money that you can ignore for a very long time, like a year or two from this moment.

Investing in Bitcoin is better than trading, lack of knowledge is what's trying to make you quit from Bitcoin, trading is another thing entirely, and you need to learn to understand trading.
606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: November 09, 2023, 09:38:03 AM
It's all about taking risks, accepted, if the gambler is ready to face the consequences, or let's say that he can afford the lose then it's not greediness, to me it depends on the gambler, if he his worth millions in his local currencies then he can simply afford to risk this much, stop comparing yourself to others, if you can't afford to lose this amount OP it's because you don't have much, and if it's you I bet you wouldn't have risk this much.

Everyone should know their limits and capacity when gambling, over doing it is what leads to unwanted results, if I can afford to lose $1000 in every rounds on slots game then I must worth millions of dollars in my bank account, some will say this is too much but this is how I do my own things.

Before I started using things that costs be $150 I already have like $2000 in my bank account, before I purchased my $400 dollars laptop I already have over $10,000, this is what we should call been able to afford something, now in gambling, I am able to risk few dollars like $20-$50 and that's because I can comfortably afford losing this amount.

All gamblers need to wager only what they can afford, risk acceptance should be based on your whole income and your worth, don't just say that because you want to take risks or because gambling is all about risks then you should use all you have, you will likely go broke fast and start begging people for money.
607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: November 09, 2023, 08:30:09 AM
There is more to gambling than the two warnings you dropped OP but they still counts, so many things are happening around gambling and here are few things that I am seeing happening to gamblers that I know.

1. Borrowing money to gamble puts you in shame and problem faster than anything, I have been wake up by noises in the neighborhood about debtors who refuse to pay their debt and words got out that they borrow money to gambles, like who does that? I don't see anything more stupid than this, because what you are about to use the money for is not assuring.

2. Turning into a gambler because people around won a good amount of money, there are people like this that are moved by what's happening around them, but it's possible that a gambler who made all his money from gambling will remain a gambler for life, because they have nothing else they are doing with their lives than to gamble, once they spend all the money they will always be back, for more.

3. When you are in a very bad mood stay away from gambling, this is the emotional time and they make you do things you don't have in plan to do, also I heard from a old gambler that when your spirit isn't in a good mood it attracts bad luck, if you gamble on such days you will likely lose all your money.

4. Do not gamble like your life depends on it, if you are like this it's because you don't believe in anything else, most people who do this don't have any source of income and they believe in that slim luck they have, what happens if such people lose money? They get worried and do stupid things like taking loan that will also end up in debts.

Gambling is not something we should depend on, it's not your small invention, it's not your company or your business, casinos is not stupid for bringing this business out for people, they are doing it to make money from people who like buying their fantasies, gamble like a responsible person.
608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You on: November 09, 2023, 07:16:22 AM
There is nothing scary about gambling, it's the gamblers that make gambling to be scary because of what they expect and how they risk their money, what should be your target when gambling is learning how to minimize your risks, because oh boy, gambling is full of risks.

If you can minimize your risks with gambling you won't get pulled under by casinos, learn to manage the money you choose to risk on gambling, many gamblers don't do this and it's the perfect way to handle gambling, I have risked some money on new crypto projects that turned scam and few turned into big money, you can't win anything if you aren't ready to risk anything, but make sure that what you are risking is not meant to be your life saver e.g your savings.

If a newbie ask me about how they can be a good gambler I will tell them to go online and find gambling reviews, they need to feel the pain that those who gamble like their lives depends on gambling also felt, bad experience in gambling is a good warning for those who are about to start gambling.
609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For Newbies Interested in Gambling on: November 08, 2023, 12:04:42 PM
Being patient and consistently involved in healthy gambling habits will surely make you a successful gambler. If you are newbie who is interested in gambling and has been following the gambling community here or any where online or offline, your purpose should be to learn as much as possible from the shared experiences of others such that you can eventually branch out independently, allowing you to operate without dependence on others.

Note that the most important thing in gambling is bankroll management and finding value. What messes people up is poor bankroll management.  Personally, I limit my bets to no more than 10 percent of my bankroll per day, I stop once that limit is reached.  Also don't get discouraged if variance comes in and you have a losing day, week, month, etc. Value is value and it will catch up.  Goodluck on your gambling journey.

Gambling oldies can throw in their 2 sats on this.
The most important thing about gambling starts with your own business or job, make sure you are making money every month at least, then you can start working on how to manage your bankroll to avoid getting addicted to gambling.

I know that many gamblers are jobless and they still choose to gamble with whatever amount they can get their hands on, but this is why they get furious and mad once they lose money in gambling, as if gambling is risk free, something that is very high risk, it's sure that you will lose money more than you will win.

So make sure you secured a job and gamble with what's left after paying your bills, you must take your survival very serious, don't reduce your food so that you can gamble, risk whatever you have left even if it's a dollar, it's way better than going to work from 9-5 every day and wasting all the money away on gambling every month.

It will get to a point that you will feel tired, that you keep losing all the money and you still go to work every day, some will reason this very well at the end and they will lower the money they are risking, still way better than not having anything that brings you money.

This is why people go for loans or get involved with crimes, lack if money is the root of all evil, so make sure you have a paying job first.

I have a concern though, you are a newbie and you want to start using a PC wallet to store your crypto? I think it's not safe, because you using a PC for storing your assets and also using that same PC for something else like browsing and possible doing airdrops will get your PC compromised.

This was how my cousin lost all his assets to keyboard malware, he never told he that he is using the PC for Airdrops and I don't worry because he always hate Airdrops, until he fucked up and I detected that a malware is also switching is address to another when he copy to paste.

All his solana tokens and Eth tokens were drained, this happened somewhere in 2022, he had to format the PC before he start using again, PC is very vulnerable to attacks if you are using it for browsing, I trust running Electrum wallet on a smartphone for beginners than running it on a PC unless you won't do any other thing on that PC.

611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What’s your strategy on high volatility slot game? on: November 08, 2023, 10:11:16 AM
I play slot games but I always avoid high volatility slot games such as hacksaw and nolimit because this provider often gives more lose bets without hitting anything big even with bonus round. I’m not how did some players manage to become successful hitting huge multiplier from this provider.

Are betting fixed amount of spin on each game then move on to the next slot game after the you reach your target spin count or you wait to hit something big before you switch games.

In an event that you hit early huge multiplier, do you still play using same game or you immediately switch different game?
How much are you risking on every rounds? I don't bother losing all my money on Slots in a day, I have constantly lose money like you and one day I won good amount, that's the trick, you don't have to give up and if you are feeling like giving up check the amount you are risking, it is more than you can afford to lose, so lower the amount.

After I reach my target spin I quit for that day, I don't have to win on that day, and I don't put my mind on winning, because that's the way casino is programmed, like I've said, if you are feeling like you aren't getting anywhere with gambling, you have less understanding about gambling it is and also you are risking more than you can afford to lose.

If you win you aren't suppose to keep playing, it doesn't cost a thing to get brainwashed at that moment, thinking you will win the next round again and if you lose guide you can even risk all the amount on playing again and that's how you will lose everything again.

My gambling rules is simple, take your win out and quiet gambling, it's not the end it's just the beginning, but luck works like a karma sometimes,  you have won but you aren't satisfied, it's greed.
612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What conditions might cause you to stop gambling? on: November 08, 2023, 09:04:59 AM
I can see few replies saying if they keep losing for a long period of time they will stop gambling, but there are other thing that's most important to me and should be very important to people too.

The reason why I keep gambling is not because I only want to make money, it's because I can afford to lose money for few gains if they ever come, so assuming I lost my job today, you think I will go gambling the next day? Never, it can never happen, because it's my job that's bringing in good amount of money monthly.

For me to take risks with gambling, trading and investment, my life must be in shape first, get a job and start making money, then I will be able to afford taking some risks, if no way to make money right now gambling is not the solution, remember that gambling is good at taking money away from you, now imagine that all you have as a solution when no new money is coming in is gambling, you will regret your decision.

There you have it, it makes no sense to take risks when there is no income coming from somewhere else for you, how are you going to feel when you lose money? Those who have no jobs are not fit to take any risk in investment and in gambling.

613  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to invest 8k for passive income. on: November 07, 2023, 01:14:56 PM
Don't look for passive income, if you already have this 8k in Bitcoin you are in safer hands compare to other digital currencies out there, you can make 10x of this money by 2025 but you need another source of income and I get it, my question is how did you make this 8k in the first place? I will advice you to go back and keep making more money from there and keep living your life as if nothing interesting is happening, endure all the pain and stress of work till 2025, it's not that far away anymore and I believe by the third quarter of next year Bitcoin will already be skyrocketing.

What people can't do is having patience for a long term, they always get tired on the long run when the wait is almost over, I don't recommend buying Bitcoin miners, because it costs to run them too, your electricity bill must be lower for your mining operation to be profitable.

Holding Bitcoin at this stage of time is going to be way more profitable than starting to mine right now, also miners comes with few disadvantages, what happens if something breaks in the miner? You will have to spend more to get it fix, it also depend on the user, are you familiar with any crypto miner in the past? Can you monitor the miner very closely at home? Do you work miles away from your home? There are other things to put into account before making this decision.
614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice for new comers on: November 07, 2023, 12:07:20 PM
What advice do you have for newcomers diving into the world of crypto gambling? Any lessons you learned the hard way that you'd like to share?

1. Do it use your MasterCard or credit card to gambling online, it only fuel your desire to gamble even more and it open door to getting addicted faster, people who do this ends up in debt and most can't even pay the debt back.

2. If you want to be a gambler make sure you don't use money that doesn't belong to you, don't go out and take loans or borrow money from people to gamble, people hardly get lucky using money that beings to someone else to gamble.

3. Only use money you are willing to lose, and if it's not a lucky day for you do not try to chase your losses, you will easily empty your balance chasing your losses, that's why in the first place you must always risk money you can afford to lose.

I don't have a lot of bad experience in gambling, because I am someone who learn really fast from their mistake, it doesn't take long for me to understand that as a gambler you will make the house to get richer than making yourself get rich, the house always win so that's why I don't take gambling extremely important, I just do it for fun.
615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: November 07, 2023, 11:06:52 AM
You can't do two things at the same time, and also it depend on the type of work you are doing, some work place are mostly boring and workers just have to hang around until something new happens, it's possible to gamble in such times but I still don't recommend it.

Imagine operating a big machine at work, how can you gamble at the same time without cutting off part of your body or someone's else? This is why I believe that you won't date toy with your concentration at some work just because you feel like gambling at the time.

Even for someone who have all the time to gamble, like someone who only works online or those involved in day trading, they still don't gamble everyday, as in, gambling isn't something you want to be doing everyday, there is time to gamble and there is time to get serious with your work or jobs, one must not affect the other if you want to progress in life.

Gambling is no joke, it's something that you must not be too attach with, it could affect your way of thinking, it could make you to be desperate with making money, it's not advisable to gamble everyday, fix few days in a week and that's enough, judging with the risks involved in gambling, this is the best thing to do.
616  Economy / Gambling / Re: Guide for newcomers Start a fun and profitable gambling entertainment journey o on: November 07, 2023, 09:59:19 AM
Using the term, profitable in gambling is wrong because it's only after you win that you really make money, how much you've lost in the past doesn't mean anything, even if you use $20000 to gamble and when you finally win all you get is $5000 it's still a big loss for you, gambling isn't a a business venture or an investment, so how come you can be expecting to be profitable in gambling?

The way you promoting this casino is not fine by me, because I can see how unprofessional your manner of advertising the casino is, where is the link to the casino to check if it really meet up to the standard that you are saying.

Also your past post on this forum has a lot to say about you, it seems you are chasing after a goal, your account has different related topics about same casino promotion, what the hell is wrong with you?
617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: November 06, 2023, 02:58:06 PM
Streamers are just doing their jobs, they get paid doing this and they don't even need to invest in whatever they are feeding the public and they don't have to gamble on any exchange to make them drop their true experience, when money is involved they will talk good things about the platform, you should never take their words very serious because they are getting paid.

You will never come across any casino spending money on their advertisement and telling the audience that they need to gamble once in a while or when they have the money they can afford to lose, that's why in their adverts it's always about someone hitting the jackpot and winning, people need to wake up, that's just for the advert purpose, it's possible to win but the chances of getting the same experience you saw in streamers is very low.

They all know this but telling the world will make many people to reconsider gambling, or probably limit the amount that they are risking on gambling, it has to look like glittering heaven so that people can give it a try, but not all that glitters are made of gold, be careful with gambling, there is no real shortcut to make life changing money.
618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Out of curiosity, how much you wagered recently? on: November 06, 2023, 12:21:11 PM
Till this day it's hard for me to believe that how much you wager is what will determine if you will win it not, someone told me this is the case, that if you risk higher money you will likely get lucky instead of using small amount, but those who are still using small amount still have their lucky days isn't it?

Hearing this makes me believe that every gamblers have different mindset when gambling, imagine what this fella told me, it's nothing but another good reason to get addicted to gambling and end up hurting your life in the process,

Back to the question that OP is asking, I don't wager less than $20 and when there is enough money to use then I have use a little over a 40 to gamble, I still end up losing on every rounds that I played, if you are not ready to lose money do not gamble, it seems losing is far more certain to happen than to win, the last time I won last was last week, since then it's nothing so far, the hard thing we got to life with as a gambler.

Create a boundary between your life and your gambling habit, you will know if you are already crossing the line and you will immediately correct yourself, it helped a lot of time.
619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if there was only one cryptocurrency, which is Bitcoin? on: November 06, 2023, 11:04:38 AM
Crypto space will not exists, because having other coins with Bitcoin is what makes this space a possibility,  if it's all Bitcoin then we will get to talk only about Bitcoin, invest only in Bitcoin and it will be less fun, there will be no LTC, no Dogecoin and others, it will be more boring.

The existence of other crypto project is even why we have loads of people in crypto space today, do not forget that every Bitcoin holders have other coins too, they make money off other coins and buy Bitcoin with their profits, I might be wrong but people care more about making bigger return of investment, the only thing that's possible with other altcoins.

As for the value

Bitcoin will likely worth even more because some coins that are not even up to top 10 on coinmarketcap are still having millions of marketcap and liquidity, if all that are moved into Bitcoin it will pump the value even higher.

But the truth is the crypto space is now full of people because of altcoins, they are here for the moon shots, if people can be crazy enough to invest their money into the likes of Dogecoin and Shiba inu which is meme then this backed up my thoughts, it's always about how much more they can make out of something new and cheap rather than the old.
620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 06, 2023, 09:53:59 AM
Yes and No, it's all about trying to see what you will get and not all results will be the same, even if you are luck once you won't be lucky next time, I have not do this before and I don't think I will do such because to me it feels like a desperation to win.

The only thing that comes to my mind when gambling is if I don't have the money then I am not going to gamble, as little as I risk on gambling, sometimes I still find it hard to gamble, that's because I understand it very well, I am probably going to lose the money, so I always make sure that I have that amount that I am willing to lose before I start gambling.

Since the money I am risking is small I don't mind taking the risk myself, you don't even know how good those you copied are, and moreover gambling isn't about been good at it, this is about how well you can manage losing your money.
