Can't believe that Multi Magic dies on the first leg again. United should have won that game at 2-0 and then even at 3-2 but this is the Premier League I guess. Everton can lose to Newcastle and then draw away to Manchester United.

Anything interesting today besides of course the crazy Super Bowl final everyone is talking about online?
6162  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: February 07, 2021, 09:20:26 AM
I actually thought Real would lose once they went behind. No Ramos, really not Real but a scrappy win puts them in contention. Not sure how they're going to pull through the rest of the season without their talisman but Atletico will be licking their chops. Barca, come on, show us what a revival looks like!
6163  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading bot vs. you -> who's better? on: February 06, 2021, 06:42:36 PM
Why do people keep making the mistake of comparison?

The bot is only as good as the software programming it. The strategy it uses is only as good as you the trader specifies it. The execution performance is only as good as the API and server running it.

You should always be better than the bot by itself. But of course, automation is always better than manual.

So, I do gamble on black market because places that are legit and allowed screws you over with the odds and do not pay you great deal of profit, which is why I think it is obvious that we are in a situation where black markets are a better option to gamble than real sportsbooks. Even if a place that we all love in black market ends up getting a legit license, they turn to being worse, so basically being licensed and legit makes a place worse.

I think the tradeoff in black market is you can also get screwed over by no payouts, or arbitrary rules that you can't complain over. I know you're probably in Asia like most of us, so actually before bitcoin came along we all had to use black market bookies;)

It's cost saving and time saving, but I never feel comfortable paying a lot in case something goes wrong.
6165  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin hits $40k on: February 06, 2021, 02:53:30 PM
40k again, but still a small distance to go for a new ATH, which probably on the momentum of everything else will happen within the weekend. I wonder if people will hope for a 10% hike from there to go to 45k after that. This time this is carried on from ETH momentum I believe. Guess we're all dreaming now again.
6166  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 06, 2021, 12:36:41 PM
Bit of a drag not having any football today but this gives me more time to research my picks  Cool

As it stands, I'm currently in 10th place so if the competition were to end today I'd barely get a piece of the prize.

I'm not one to settle for 10th place though so hoping for a few "exact" picks this weekend.


I have never yet been in a winning spot but I do remember being very near the bottom and every week seemingly climbing one or two spots up, so I guess I should see myself as a relegation struggler turned midtable hopeful. Maybe even a surprise Europe spot if I keep being diligent;)

I see the rounds are getting fewer points, so more upsets (or more draws at least). I picked United to lose, even though they're fresh from 9-0. These things happen all the time.

No need to talk about polluting industries at least they are running economy like oil and all that cobalt mining (we love our smartphones and touch screens right?). But there are so many other industries that are just for entertainment and hundred millions of devices running for games and leisure and nothing else. Why not shut those down? At least Bitcoin is running transactions and finance and store of value!
6168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: February 06, 2021, 09:26:12 AM
I don't think only the top 3 teams will get 3 points for this weekend's match, because the top 6 looks like it will win and it's a win on paper. If there is a mistake it looks like I only consider Barcelona and Sevilla because in my view these two teams have bad luck sometimes but yes, this is a game which obliges the top team to get 3 points because their position will be very easy to replace, except for Atletico.
I don't think Barcelona and Sevilla have any chance of losing. I agree with you that Barcelona's fortunes are sometimes bad. In this season they have lost against easy opponents. But now they are stable enough. I almost forgot when they last lost a match. Barcelona can easily score 3 points in this match.

Then you haven't been watching La Liga haha it isn't just bad fortune that Barca have been losing, they did very poorly without Messi when they gave him the extended break and those "easy" opponents actually played very well. The Copa game was a blessing hopefully though, they showed the great character we were familiar with to break down Granada, who's a very very good team too. It won't be easy.
6169  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: February 05, 2021, 04:02:55 PM
I think there will be no change in the position of these 3 teams tomorrow. They will against small teams and I predict all the top teams will get 3 points to secure their current position, especially for Atletico Madrid that will play at home tomorrow. Well, all the supporters of Atletico, Real, And Barce should be satisfied with the current result and don't expect much for the change.  Smiley


Game to game I find it really useless to predict positions,,, especially with games in hands and some clubs having stronger lineups against weaker opponents. But the pressure is on Atletico for sure after all these seasons chasing the pack, now they are the ones on top. Their games in hand also will psychologically test them to be complacent with the safety net!
6170  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price correction btc 6-12 months on: February 05, 2021, 02:26:31 PM
There's no guarantee that bitcoin or the whole crypto market gonna do the same as the cycle you pictured. Things different right now, institutional investors, adoption by large corporation, some government opens up to bitcoin and a lot more.
The crypto market is utterly unpredictable and no one know for sure, relying on past chart is just a no go for me because it could all go differently. Like how many of us never predicted for bitcoin to go up this far just within months.
You should just realize that the market could move at any direction regardless of your analyzation and prepare for that instead.

There is no guarantee of anything indeed,,, and the funny thing about people who talk a lot about cycles is they are the ones in general who get afraid when unexpected dips or crashes happen. They talk about being smart and selling near the top, but they always fall for it and get weak hands when people start dumping.

Easier analyzing than actually acting!
6171  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Some important tips about the bitcoin market on: February 05, 2021, 01:01:12 PM
As long as you’re a long term HODL’er you’re going to be trying to buy Bitcoin when there is correction or when there is a fall, and that’s because you know that you’re going to be holding for years and that will benefit you when the time comes for the market to move to the highest point. But from what we have seen so far you’re going to always recover your losses and make big profit in the future. People who bought Bitcoin at 20,000 USD never believed that there will be a time like this when they will all recover the money they have lost.

Or you do like most normal people do who put money aside in savings every month with their salary. Buy a fixed amount in dollars, no matter the price. Every time we reach a rally, the statistics prove,,, 90% of people who bought are in profit. No need to think and worry about dips and when to buy, just keep buying regularly.
6172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it wise to set nightly stop limit sell orders before you go to bed? on: February 05, 2021, 12:23:45 PM
My friend stop limits are always wise in trading. Stop loss and Take Profit. It doesn't matter if you're offline or not, you shouldn't be having open ended orders. Always have a target for entry, and for exit. In fact, even if you're online you shouldn't be sitting and watching charts and waiting to pull the trigger manually!
6173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The gambling black market thrives in Britain on: February 05, 2021, 09:47:13 AM
We sort of do it all the time in Asia I guess. But it is not like in movies where you go place bets with dirty guys smoking and all that, it is usually just sms to a number, they take your bet and you just pay with mobile money:)

Small time people do it part time all the time. Offer better odds or no fees (gambling here takes 15% entertainment tax).
6174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: $60+ in fees for a single withdraw. Could exchanges survive this? on: February 05, 2021, 09:09:02 AM
I think people are getting smart now. They're exchanging into USDT or some other stablecoins and then moving it out for a few dollars, then exchanging back. They still lose on fees but it's faster and not as painful as $50 and still waiting for confirmations.

I think Layer 2 is also going to be more popular in future.
6175  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀 Sportsbet.io - Official betting partner of ARSENAL FC 🚀 on: February 05, 2021, 07:55:36 AM
Good call DarkStar_! Actually I only recently found out you can find not only the specials but SuperBoosts if you just check Rewards > Price Boosts tab.

Thanks, I had no idea there was such a tab, I looked today and it's a Super Boost on Bayern Match. Odds are mostly towards Bayern, of course, and if you see the stats, it's difficult to see anything but an outright win. Could be tight, or could be another goal party but I picked a Serge Gnabry to assist 1+ at 5.42, very good odds with Super Boost to me:)

Opted in to Superbowl. What a huge prize! Anyone dare to bet on no TDs?Wink
6176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ BitcoinPRBuzz.com's ⚽ Spanish La Liga ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 05, 2021, 07:04:08 AM
Don't forget to make your picks! Alaves and Valladolid are the first games for Friday. I actually am going to start following the odds again now and maybe pick draws if the odds are too tight. Let's see if this makes a difference to my predictions scores. Or if luck again plays around with the scores. I give up on strategy:)
6177  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cryptos are coming to physical Slot Machines - IGT received the patent! on: February 04, 2021, 02:02:51 PM
Interesting how this project is gonna turns out in the future and how it is going to affect bitcoin.
-snip-
I honestly don't think it has much of an impact. People who play games in classic casinos are probably not the ones who are heavily invested and/or interested in the crytpo space. Especially with crypto casinos, everything happens online, starting from the deposit to the communication with the community (chats, ...) to the games themselves.

In my opinion, the whole thing only has potential when crypto is so mainstream that virtually everyone uses it. But we are certainly still a few years away from that Smiley

I mentioned earlier I think it's big news. But not so much about affecting Bitcoin price or anything. But maybe a start to marrying offline and online gambling. See, people who gamble with crypto online let's say don't go to real casinos. But, if they happen to pass by casinos or are visiting countries for tourism and there are casinos with crypto machines. I don't know, I'd be very curious to at least try:)

Like you said though, many more years.
6178  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are people still buying XRP? on: February 04, 2021, 12:55:03 PM
Seems people still believe in XRP. Also seems there is no big deal for them with the current lawsuit. Another point that many traders and investors think that since its price is very less, it can be accumulated in huge numbers, and in the future, it may give good returns.
Let's see how it goes.


Speculators are speculators. Crypto people were investing in scam tokens knowing they were scams. Investing in ICOs they had no clue about. IEOs just because they were promoted everywhere.

Defi because they know they can get in early and make a killing.

XRP looks like that. Something cheap to buy to make a killing when the lawsuit is forgotten.
6179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: February 04, 2021, 12:04:41 PM
The Barcelona team is reducing its reliance on Messi by this I mean that Griezmann was not in the form before, if Messi had not scored or assisted, it would have been very difficult to win against the small team of Barcelona. But now Barcelona seems stable enough. De Jong, Pedri, Griezmann are all able to score now.

But clearly from the highlights, Messi was still involved in everything! Which is nice to see of course but it keeps me worried that the successor is yet to be identified. I mean, that magic feet and brain my god.

Still, they did really well to come back from 2 goals down though but I wonder if the extra 30 minutes will not be helpful for them to stay fresh.

6180  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you deal with 'Selling early' regrets? on: February 04, 2021, 10:55:35 AM
You have nailed it excellently; and to even add few words; it is not even selling early; it is selling in profit; for example, if i buy a coin at 5$ and then in 100 days, it worth's 50$; i have sold in profit; after another 100 days, it worth's 100$; why then should i worry or have regrets ?

Crytpo currency investment is all about taking profits and moving to the next token or wait for the bear; never attach emotions

Actually, it's not even about the profit. Selling simply means realizing your capital. $100 in orderbooks is still $100 in imaginary numbers. You only have it in hand available to withdraw when you sell.

Sometimes the regret is about making losses, but the important thing is to keep to stop loss and TP. Not to dream and never realize p/l. Easy to forget for most traders that they came and traded using strategy to make consistent gains, not to make X amount of money.
