621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has gambling ever whispered you with different strategic prediction measures? on: December 19, 2023, 02:00:59 PM
Since gambling is most based on luck, who else has ever wanted to set your eyes close while you hits the slot or taking your predictions with the believe that.... "Your eye sight has failed you in number of times at when believing that taking your time and plays according to your heart desired based on sights satisfactories was to be the best for you"
Then probably sometimes you want to try a new trick by closing your eyes while picking your predictions or hitting the slots.
Caused by frustration right? We gamble with analysis no matter what basis we are having but since nothing guarantees victory, we tend to be frustrated of the outcome which pushes us to go be superstitions and hearsays just to win. Nothing's wrong with it actually, but we should keep in mind that it won't determine a winning outcome therefore managing  your bankroll should still be prioritized.

I too have the same thing especially whenever I am closing continuously. I tend to toss a coin whenever I am confused. But most of the time I am taking a pause or break if odds aren't that worthy of taking the risk. Well, I'd prefer not to go against my fortune than to lose a huge amount.
Playing slots doesn't require closing your eyes. You just need to determine the bet amount, press the button and see the results. If you are lucky, you will win some money. But if not, you will lose. That's what will happen next.

Most gamblers who play slots will experience defeat. That will only trigger them to spend more money. Many gamblers still want to try to win slot games or recover their losses. And when we are close to hitting a big multiplier or a free spin, we will continue playing slots in the hope that, on the next spin, we will win some money.

However, the high hopes we have will not guarantee that we can win a certain amount of money from slot games. Luck-based slot games really make us forget about time and money, so we keep playing slots until all the money is gone. We can't try new tricks because slot games require luck. We can only hand it over and wait for the results. That's why we have to control ourselves when playing slots so we don't lose much money.
Yes, the distinction with pure luck based games. It is only luck a gambler could rely on. Likewise with lotteries, dice games, roulettes and more, in these kind of games you would be either using your luck alone or follow beliefs which could (but not assure) increase your chances.
622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one you are good at? on: December 19, 2023, 04:36:12 AM
Hello! I'd like to pose a question to my fellow gamblers here. Since the topic of sports betting has been gaining attention recently, allow me to ask:

So, the question is... Which are you better at: selecting the right bet or managing your bankroll?

And, how has it been going so far? Are you profitable or not, and why?
I've tried focusing on each of it one at a time. When I just started gambling, I was focused of knowing or determining the right bet but since no matter how good my analysis was, the thing is lack of assurance with the result. In the long run, it would be better to manage your bankroll well. You could win 8/10 bets today and by tomorrow you could be 0/10; it'll be a loss already. But if you have efficient betting strategy concerning the amount you would wager, your winnings yesterday won't be lessen by your losses today. It is a matter of securing your wins especially if you are not really getting a good series of bets.

So in the long run, anticipating the tendency of losing is way better than seeking for that jackpot. Just like with some sports; your defense is your best offense. The idea of being preventive of loss will eventually increase your winnings and that is simply efficiency with our bets.
I will select the right bet for the sake of managing my bankroll. There are times when I have to restrain my desire to bet if I am not sure I can win the bet. For example, in soccer betting, when strong teams such as Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid will fight on the field for victory, I will skip betting on the match for the sake of managing my bankroll.
Waiting is the best decision for me, this is what is called selecting the right bet. When I am sure I can win a bet, I will try to risk some of my money to win, I often do this habit to achieve my betting goals.
Indeed in some instances it is a combination of these two. Sometimes we are too eager to just place a bet even without confidence. It is our way of just seeking for profit (a normal assumption in gambling) but impulsive in a way.
623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Local Base Or International Based Online Casino on: December 18, 2023, 11:59:37 PM
Currently, I'm mostly using the service of a local online casino since funding my account there is just one click away and they are accepting almost all payment methods here in our country. When using a crypto-gambling site, I need first to fund my account on Binance and then from there, the deposit to the said crypto-gambling site.

In terms of gaming and experience, not that much difference. It's just that it's more convenient to top-up my account on a local gambling site.

These local online gambling sites in our country also finally give us the chance to play Pragmatic Play games which most international-based online gambling sites or crypto-gambling sites don't allow us to play games at that provider since a long time ago.
Difference is mode of payment. If you are a crypto enthusiast, then local gambling providers won't be an option. Fiat is most of the time, the medium in every transaction and that means taxes, and lack of anonymity with the activity. However if they would be able to make a way to adopt this technology then that would be better. With local and international gambling providers, the first distinction is accessibility; atleast with local providers you won't have that much of a problem with it, and that is included with better gambling experience.
624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 18, 2023, 11:54:38 PM
Is there a way to determine such number? We can only make a biased opinion about it. But if I would be naking my own, I guess there are more gambling "addicts" with pure luck based games such as slots, roulettes, and dice games. One reason is convenience of playing that in these games, they won't require an hour every game unlike with sportsbetting. To compare, you may get too huped with sportsbetting but atleast time would only allow you to play few times due to length of each game. Frequency of playing would more likely hook a gambler towards addiction especially if results are already there within minutes.
625  Economy / Speculation / Re: Btc dump to 39600 on: December 18, 2023, 11:47:12 PM
Does the CME Gap already filled aroun that price range? As we all know, those gaps are where sudden pull backs occur. The market price of Bitcoin will never be too consistent and continuous whenever it is increasing or decreasing. There will always be inconsistencies on smaller time frames but with a clear direction on bigger ones. I say there is still a chance for its price to fall 30 or under but with the slightest chance of taking place right now given that there is still a huge buying pressing.
626  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trading new listed coin/token on: December 18, 2023, 11:40:48 PM
Possibly market makers are the one open up a huge liqyidity on it. I like to buy ace too at lower price like 1 or 2$ but its just a split second to seen that price level and become two digits right away. If ever theres a bot that can operate on cex that would be better tool since the volatility is too high.
It did happen to some tokens but we just cannot guarantee that same thing will happen with the other tokens to be listed and introduced.
I know many investors are looking forward to hit gem token and to earn huge amount upon its listing but it just happened to not be guaranteed and that there are instances that new tokens' market value are falling upon its release.
627  Economy / Economics / Re: We need higher wages off course but goverment need to do one thing on: December 18, 2023, 06:45:34 PM
Opportunities should also be widened in order to diversify manpower and to be able to release bigger amount of money as their salary.  As others have mentioned, government is not the only factor to consider when choosing the 'right' wage on each profession? It also covers overall health of the economy. Yes they are a facor but things just don't work more than what it was as before. They could only approve proposal of meetings if they would want go explore more of it.
628  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The future of Bitcoin as digital currency on: December 18, 2023, 05:01:44 PM
I don't support such viewpoint concerning too much optimism towards this industry. Well, indeed we would be seeing its potential but as long as nothing is guaranteed, be careful of your actions at all times and at all instances.Bitcoin and crypto in general is a huge token industry. Bitcoin is sinpky a digital currency, how come it would change lives? How come it would save lives of families. There's more for this industry but we should know that things do take time and things won't happen in an instant. Let us all be patient of the progress itself.
629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins and other cryptos will never become mainstream before... on: December 18, 2023, 04:04:24 PM
Not all of the world's population needs to use Bitcoin, and if 5% of the population and 5% of companies use Bitcoin, I think we will reach an acceptable level of prediction such that there is no need to convert Bitcoin into dollars and the possibility of using it to make purchases for most needs due to the availability of the level of acceptance.

Five percent is too small, this means you will hardly finds a place or an organization that accepts bitcoin before you can be able to spend it, bitcoin is already getting to that stage, very gradually we are moving to be the mainstream of making payments, we many still have to use them both for now till that time arrived whereby we don't need any other means of making payments than bitcoin and exchange of this same digital currency into fiat may not be needed as before since it would have turned the mainstream global currency.
Difference is with the way we are using it. If it is with mode of payment, then there's only a small percentage where it is being used as it is. Bitcoin and other cryptos are widely used as an asset or an investment and there's nothing really bad about it. With its wide acceptance, there'll be more years to come before its total acceptance. It is now known by many but there is a mix of impression towards this technology and we should wait further for improvements on such viewpoint. Global currency on the other hand is something.
630  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Risk only what you can afford to lose on: December 18, 2023, 02:49:56 PM
If you are generating your own seed phrases, stamping into metal, and storing it somewhere safe, you have the highest level of security that an average person can reasonably have.
As far as storing things in a safe lace goes, getting to stamp your seed phrase on metals and all that, it doesn’t really seem like the best of ideas to security for me. Yeah, it might ensure that it never gets lost, washed up, have some wear and tear taking it’s strolls on it but, you might end up presenting it’s importance to just anyone that could come across it at first glance. That’s in the event of any invading of your safe spot of course.

I think some of the ideas to making something relatively safe is by making it as common as it would seem to anyone. In a way, it could be something that would be less attractive and can be handled anyone by someone who wouldn’t even know the value attached to that which is before them on in their possession.
This doesn’t mean you don’t keep it in a safe place, of course you would put it away in some place safe but, I don’t think you have to make it look so important.
That is why there is not method that is absolutely perfect to secure our coins, if that was the case then every single one of us will be using that method already, we need need to take into account a lot of factors when deciding which solution is the best for us, and while stamping our seed words on a piece of metal to secure it against many dangers, it is also true that it makes our seed words more susceptible to be thought as important to any thief that may enter our house, and if they know anything about this market they could easily steal our coins.
We do get the idea of putting our seed phrases safe but there are just instances wherein in some instances even if you avoid the don'ts you'd be still a victim by chance. Point here is to be more vigilant of your wallets. On the other hand, there are many users here in this industry for years who haven't encountered any problem with such concern. I too myself, fortunately never experienced problems with wallet private keys. So maybe, being preventive could guarantee securitu over your funds. FOMOs just take place which causes panic to some users. At the end of the day, isolated cases of hacking related stories won't give us assurance of the details on which should be specifically avoided unless it happened to us on the actual.
631  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How exactly do you find new tokens before they blow up. on: December 18, 2023, 02:04:50 PM
Communities, this forum, exchanges, and more. You just have to be patient reading articles and to be linked with them thru various social media platforms. Point here is that, you'd be able to find various tokens to be released or projects to be introduced to us but we cannot invest to all of it at once. This is where our 'work' would matter the most. On which one to blow up is another thing simply because no one will have the assurance. This is why it would be better to just ride the tide; follow popularity and noise of those projects and not solely with concept or roadmap. We just see how those tokens blew up but not the fact that most are not even making an impression.
632  Economy / Economics / Re: Pay discrimination on: December 18, 2023, 01:31:24 PM
Well it is not because of manpower alone. Knowledge with higher positions do usually cost more than with studying skill based jobs. Will this ever change? Depends on the demand. There are countries wherein Blue collar jobs are being paid higher than with what's usual. It also depends on the economy of a country on which would be more appreciated and be more in demand. With corporate jobs, they generate more money which enables them to be paid higher as well, does makes sense. Life simply works in such way and life was never fair. You need to stand out in order to be appreciated in any industry. If you have the same set of skills as with the majority then how come you'd be paid with huge amount.
633  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The risk and reward of having Bitcoin on: December 18, 2023, 12:54:14 PM
Just a normal set of things for Bitcoin investors. Actually those things mentioned by OP is also present with other assets and investments; it is just that volatility and risk are higher with Bitcoin and other cryptos.
Risk is when you invest without knowing anything. Knowing all the right strategies and using a secure wallet to hold bitcoins will reduce the risk and keep the money safe. Bitcoin investment is more profitable with less risk of halving. The rate at which bitcoin investment volumes are growing has guaranteed a huge upside rather than a halving. Everyone has high expectations for bitcoin investment.
No matter how knowledgeable you are, as long as there's no assurance of profit then there would be risk. Knowledge can only lessen the risk present but will never make it vanish to any investment.Expectations toward Bitcoin investment on the other hand, is due to what we have witnessed over years.
634  Economy / Gambling / Re: tell me the best online casino on: December 17, 2023, 11:59:20 PM
I want to play online casino which has the following criteria,
1. of course not a scam online casino
2. there are slots, roulette and versus (player vs player) games
3. there are deposit bonuses and free spins for new players
4. there is a daily bonus (points or free spins)
5. easy and fast withdrawal process (doesn't have many rules)
Best ones are the reputable ones in this industry. You can name many as others have mentioned already however, there is no perfect gambling site or platform. On my end what makes a gambling site better than any other sites, is their way of solving player related concerns. Perhaps with your preferred easy and fast withdrawal, there are just times rules will be implemented to avoid issues such as laundering. And most of the time, there is a reviewing process especially if the amount is big for withdrawal. We just have to accept some of the flaws.
635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does match fixing concern you often? on: December 17, 2023, 11:51:11 PM
Well, basically yes. It is unfair to gamblers who are betting on their luck. Not all gamblers in the first place can afford a VIP Signal group to also be able to know the fixed matches and outcomes. However, from being here for years, I have never encountered problems related to it probably because of the sports I am engaging myself with which is in NBA. Match fixing is less evident to bigger leagues which quite lessen my worries.
What have your experiences about this been? Is match fixing considered a common occurrence in leagues you place bets at?
I believe match-fixing still occurs, regardless of whether it happens in a league that is not very popular or one that is very popular in Europe.
but for me, it doesn't affect my betting. because I bet on the league that I follow. I am not saying that the EPL cannot be separated from match-fixing. if there is a report, there will be an inspection, and I don't care about that. I only bet on teams that I like and whose league developments I follow.
Match fixing may be more visible in leagues that people don't pay much attention to or are not major leagues.
but it might be quite annoying when we bet on a match where there is already match-fixing, so the results may be very visible and not according to what was predicted.
As others have mentioned, it still occurs with smaller leagues such as local mobile game tournaments to just name one. It would be frustrating to lose and know that even before the match starts, there are already players who know which team would win.
636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 17, 2023, 04:38:06 PM
For sure most of us are too lazy to do so. Outcome, there are people who are suprised with sudden changes of rules and to be more specific, implication of KYC procedures. If you are concerned of something, then it would make sense putting more time into it and that includes reading stuff necessary and relevant to where would you be putting your money in.
If you managed to read the terms and conditions until the end, then you're definitely not an average person. Who wants to read that lengthy and boring text when all you want is to sign up for entertainment like an online casino? You only become concerned about the terms and conditions if you encounter an issue after agreeing to them. While these conditions may include many of the complaints that users have, it's understandable that people don't often take the time to read them.
Terms are not what gamblers pay attention to, more precisely, casinos also need players to stay out of trouble and the process to be extremely simple, register to deposit, withdraw and transfer money in just a few minutes is the introduction and guidance I received, although sometimes there are some more complicated cases, the casino team still shows their sophistication and agility. In general, terms and conditions are not equal to actual experience, reading a lot will not help us win, determined to have fun, we should avoid wasting time with such platitudes.
Terms and condition are far from your tendencies of winning your bets. It speaks to your overall experience and services to avail during your stay on their platform. It is not a waste of time unless you don't care about possible changes perhaps with wagering requirements, deposit and withdraw amounts, maintainances and more.
637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading! on: December 17, 2023, 03:31:46 PM
Has something to do with visuals, basically. Is there something exciting with price charts in red or green? Also these two has different idea. Perhaps with statistics in both concepts. The pnly way trading will be associated in gambling is when you are having no plans for your trade; without any pattern to follow and without any strategy being used. With gambling, you may base on player's stats or team composition to help you create a decision. Gambling is more enjoyed as well simply because even without money involved, perhaps with sports, it is already entertaining. While with trading, most of the time, those who enjoy doing it are ones which are profitable or often having winning trades unlike with gambling wherein you would still be able to somehow enjoy despite of the outcome.
638  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 02:37:01 PM
Don't we all have it? We just tend to control it which helps us avoid addiction. Mine is with frustration of losses wherein I struggled for months when I started gambling. Eventually I managed to control it by setting limits on the amount I would be betting on each day. Emotions are innevitable to take place gigen that we have expectations on our every bet especially that it involves money; something which is necessary in our daily lives.
Let's start with the simple choice: Do you consider yourself to have a gambling problem affecting your happiness, security, relationships, finances, etc? (Yes or No)
No, I gamble regardless of any problems be it family, finances, happiness and so on, which make me miserable, I have reasons for all of that.

1. My family never knows about gambling.
2. I placed a bet not with my salary.
3. I gamble just to look for challenges and experience.
4. I gamble for myself, I also use the money I win from gambling for myself, my family doesn't take part.

So, for the reasons above, of course you understand how I gamble, of course it doesn't hinder any action I take, including happiness.
Where are you getting your money then if it is not from your salary? Actually it is not a bad thing using a portion of your salary, just avoid using that much. But good thing you are not problematic in any aspect in this activity.
639  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you confident betting on handicap for heavy favorites or heavy underdog? on: December 17, 2023, 11:12:58 AM
I'll tell you . Whenever I look at my game and see that I have more bet on the favorites than the underdog, I know immediately that if I don't have a rethink I am going to lose. Over time betting on the underdogs is a crucial ingredient to winning. There was a club recently that beat Barcelona even though they ended up crashing out of the league. They were the underdogs and many people including myself would have bet on the favorites to win but they didn't. It happens in all sports and I learned the hard way to not underestimate the underdogs and over estimate the favorites.
Betting on the underdog will give you bigger profit but with bigger risk as well. On the other hand, crowd favorite does not guarantee winning so better manage your funds well and avoid going all out. Just make a bet; no one could tell other than the result. I say depend on your analysis and not with the pulse of majority in order to avoid regrets no matter the outcome is at the same time it is where we would be confident of.
Since this is more like a survey I can give my little experiences. I'm a newbie in sport betting I don't go to the underdogs, I only bet on my favorites, and the odds are not usually high so basically go to top leagues and place my bet.

I don't even know what the handicap and underdogs mean because I'm never interested on such I just focus on the tops leagues especially basketball and football hence I bet on straight winning or any side can win that where usually win. so since I'm always winning with that any side can strategy I just stick to it and keep it going.
For sure we all have that experience.Most of the time I am going with my favorite as well simply because I'm betting for excitement and no longer solely for profit. Quite silly to think that when you are having gut feelingof winning big, that is the time you are losing. So I'll say just enjoy it.
640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Type of gambling and Intelligence on: December 15, 2023, 06:29:10 PM
Gambling is purely played based on luck. There is no secrets to ensure winnings. While you are correct in a way, one needs to have certain level of intelligence to play certain games but it is not required for all of them. If you talk about sports gambling then if the person had much knowledge of sports then he could easily bet multiple time and win. Yes he has to be lucky enough. But having knowledge certainly has it's benefits.
In sportsbetting, we could only increase the chance of winning by creating a good analysis of teams, players, and overall stats but will never guarantee a win, therefore avoid betting that much no matter how confident you are. Anything could happen within or during the game; even fighters which are least expected to win could still pull it out if things would happen in accordance to him. Intelligence in gambling speaks for the way you manage your funds and handle consequences of your bet. Even if you are a genius, if you are unlucky for that day, then expect nothing less than losing. Being aware of chances is simply a show of intelligence already for us gamblers.
