Does stating gambling means overall gambling including sports betting?

5% is quite low but could be possible since gambling sites are ripping lots of money from us, but if you are gambling and you are optimistic you can win in the long run, at least that 5% is enough to convince you that nothing is impossible in gambling, i mean you can make money in gambling.

It's a challenging task but it's doable, I'd bet on that.


Regardless of what gambling types you're playing, winning is not guaranteed, only desperate fools would believe there's such thing as guaranteed, and even if some games are rig, it could not guarantee us a win as things could turn not on our expectation. This is the beauty of gambling, particularly sports betting, it's totally unpredictable.

I'm optimistic to see a consistent price increase in the market, but it does not lost the fact that this volatile market is not free from any market correction or price decline for bitcoin. That's why I'm also open that this current price will suddenly drop again but I don't think it will drop below $30k again, most probably it will only range between $30k to $33k and then it might recover after couple of days.

However, we don't really hold the future for bitcoin. But one thing is certain, bitcoin will not frustrate us of its price most especially that we are looking forward for big events by early next year.

Selling would not be a bad idea though if he'll do it with a purpose, to buy a new project or to enter into another profitable and secured investment. He can sell one or two of his bitcoins to cater the amount he needs. But if his purpose is for only leisure and fun, think twice if you really want to sell. When you sell, that means you will lost the opportunity to make future profits.

However, selling just a small portion is fine if he wants to live his life at the moment. Of course, it's still a good feeling if you have time to reward yourself after a long effort from long term hodling.

I find it not unique since it's the most popular type of gambling IMO. About your knowledge, it could increase your chances of winning but as to the odds... are you referring to odds set by bookmakers? If so, I think we see the odds as the same regardless on how we analyze it, and with a huge market available, it's always up to us on how to choose the odds that could result to a win.

We all know that, it doesn't need to be repeated from time to time. As a responsible gamble, we understand the risk very well.


It could be fun and financial strategy at the same time, at least for me. Since we are discussing about sports betting here, it's quite different than other casinos where house edge are gonna rip us in the edge, in sports betting, we can take that away with our skills to analyze in choosing the winner.

Yeah, if he were to face a champion or even a fighter with a good rank, he would probably suffer another knockout. It appears that he was truly exposed, not the same guy as when he lost to Tank Davis. I wouldn't be surprised if his camp finds it challenging to secure a championship match due to his recent performance.

I guess he's done for this year; we can't expect to see him in another fight. Hopefully, next year, even in the second half, we will witness him in a championship match again. While Tank Davis is enjoying his champion status as one of the best now, Ryan Garcia is in the process of rebuilding his career, climbing the ladder once more. I now understand why boxers with undefeated records may be hesitant to risk fighting against a champion who has a real chance of beating them.

I got a W here, it was fun and easy, thinking that Warriors would also win the game as they had a very comfortable lead. However, like we witness in the past, their opponents could comeback against them despite being down big time because of their lack of size and defense, and the Clippers were able to do that with a one point win, courtesy of PG13 step back 3 point shot.

Anyway, I still win with the handicap, but no games tomorrow, so let's take a break for a while.

There's no left for regretting as you did not sell without its purpose, and  since you decide to sell your bitcoin early, then you have now your own laptop without any hussle. Still, that is a big blessing that you have obtained from bitcoin, enough to be thankful for it instead of feeling depressed because you fail to maximize your profits. Bitcoin investment is not all the time for long term, most especially if you face sudden emergency cases that only selling bitcoin would make the best solution.

You see, there's actually nothing to regret. But work on your funds first so you can invest before the bitcoin halving. That way, you can still ride the bullish season where everyone else celebrates with their huge profits.

Find a stable job first outside crypto. This forum does not provide a steady source of income, but a consistent flow of legit information and valid experiences rather. And to make it clear to you, investing and trading do not guarantee stable and steady source of income. Yes, you can make decent profits from them at some point but you will experience more losses than wins, most especially if you are still in the learning process.

However, if you're looking for a good side hustle, then this forum will be a lot helpful to you. You can join in a signature campaign, invest or trade, but all of these require experience. So start learning the forum first to increase your knowledge and learn from other members experiences. But make sure to never rely in the forum for consistent profits because that will only frustrate you later on.

I don't have issues with crypto signals. Some are actually benefiting from them. But since I trade on my own and does not rely from other traders to trade, so using crypto signals from other people are not my thing. Yes, I have read some of them but let's say I'm not totally convinced on their signals so I end up using my own developed signals based on how I analyze the market as well as with the coins  I am going to trade.

I think it's actually an individual's choice to use it or not. But I suggest if you have better analysis on trading signals, then trust on your own signals because to be a good and successful trader, one should be more capable to trade on their own based on how they understand trading  and the market itself.

Won on Magic but you lose on Dallas.

Luka didn't play on that game but it was suppose to be a winnable game by Dallas since they are at home hosting a struggling less-Morant Memphis. This was unexpected as not only Dallas loss, but they loss like they don't have inspiration to play hard. 108-94, tough loss.

@freedomgo, sorry but seems like you had a tough day. Most of your picks didn't go your way, you only hit one which was Philly +6.5.

Anyway, these are just normal day on the office for us bettors, so let's focus on bouncing back on the upcoming games.

Speaking of upcoming games, I also like to share some bets to bettors here.
Warriors vs LAC rematch, this time in LA. I have the Warriors here +4.5 and to win SU. 

This team is really unpredictable, however, just like last season, they entered the playoffs not on the top spot, they are even the underdog on each rounds before they got eliminated, so this team is still very dangerous if you'll ask me.

Lebron's favorite time are the playoffs moments, they excel on that with Davis, so as long as they'll qualify the playoffs, consider them as a threat and has the potential to win a championship.


These guys are good defensively, the Lakers really needed them, being back gives more boost on the Lakers defense, so can we expect them to turn themselves from inconsistent to consistent now?

Selling your property is like losing your own advantage to your own property, which means you are not capable anymore to enjoy its future profits since you are already selling it for a cause. And for me, that is not an ideal strategy. It's still best to work on it to achieve or acquire a new investment, not selling your previous property and trade for a new one.

However, that is only from my own point of view. We all have different concepts about selling properties, and for me thats not my nature of doing.

It's not bitcoin or altcoins that should take the blame, but the kind of investor who decides to take the risk from investing in crypto. If you lose on them, simply because you don't have the qualities that suit for a good and reputable investor. And not that you blame altcoins for your losses and made people hate bitcoin in general.

However, if you are being hacked or scammed, still the blame should not only for those criminals but also you need to take charge of the responsibility you have by doing initial research first before you jump into a conclusion of investing into altcoins or any project that is making too good to be true promises.

I think there's no problem risking with $18 for a bet that you are confident with, even if the odds is very high, like x1000 in this case. Normally, this parlay and bet builder bets are only done for fun (no high expectation), meaning, you don't do this on a daily basis due to its slim chances of winning, and it's still good to stick with the single bet odds as that gives at least 50/50 chance or higher if you are good at sports you are betting.

I know he was a heavy dog that fight against Akhmadaliev, but comparing Akhmadaliev to Inoue, there's a big difference here as Inoue is a superstar, included in the top 3 pound for pound ranking, so this is more like a real definition of a miracle, his win against Akhmadaliev was just a mere upset.


Tapales' name is  not popular in the boxing community, so they'll be surprise if Tapales will win here. However, if we try to look back on the previous fights of Inoue, it's easy to tell that Tapales has a very slim chance of winning despite people say that Tapales have train hard for this fight.

But like I stated, I would be happy if Tapales would win.

If trading is exclusive for rich people only, then why do we see such poor individuals experience life's big changes because of successful trading. That only proves that trading has no limits or distinctions. Successful trading can both happen to rich or poor traders.

While trading can be a lot more risky most especially to those who only trade with limited amount of money, but if those traders have also developed working skills and strategies for successful trading, then risking in trading is always worth the efforts and risks.

Me, I don't care if Tapales winning the fight is called a miracle as long as he wins. It's pretty much obvious how fans sees this fight, there was a survey I read before and 80% believe Inoue will win this fight, so Tapales being the heavy underdog winning is already a big miracle.

You're right there, supporting our own is good, but you can't force someone who he would support as we have our own right especially if you are not only a sports enthusiast but a gambler as well. As a gambler you don't follow your heart when choosing the winner as that's a complete bias which will likely result in a lose.

I can't believe Booker could only score 8 points. He's a start who always bring at least 20 points per game but this game it looks like he was lock down by the defense of the Raptors. But then, I think it's justifiable though as they were travelling and winning games, possibly the fatigue factor for Booker took a hit on him that game, you can never tell though.

I chose not to own a demo account because I still think that even if you have a demo account but your skills and strategies are not sufficient enough, you will never be a successful trader. So I'll just focus more on honing my skills and best working strategies through trading most often, that way I will gain more confidence to trade. Having a demo account is never a guarantee that you will never lose again with trading, as there will always be trading losses and mistakes no matter how proficient you are as a trader.

However, owning a demo account is always a choice, regardless of your position in the market. The essential thing here is you got to learn from your demo account in preparation for your live trading account, otherwise, demo trading account will end up  useless.

This is the reason why it's still best to do your own research and educate yourself first before you will enter investing in the crypto market. Otherwise, if you rely on other people's say or ideas, they will find some ways on how to manipulate your way of thinking until you end up believing that bitcoin is actually a get rich quick. When that happens, your obsession for bitcoin grows that lead you to wrong decision making that will eventually put you at the losing end.

There's no real investment that is certainly a get rich quick. You have to put a lot of effort to make it work, but if you don't have the patience to wait, your success will definitely be put at risk.
