~snip~
People that can thrivingly hide their gambling activity from family and it's never noticed all through the time of hiding, for this set of people it's very unlikely that they fall into addiction capitalizing on the premise that for anyone to be able to hide their gambling activity they should be responsible gamblers and a responsible gambler must be someone  of self-control and that's why the can't develop gambling addiction. It's not easy hiding something like gambling from close persons like family and if you're clever enough to hide it such cleverness should also extend to how you spend money on your gambling.
They should be responsible gamblers by choosing to hide their gambling activities. But perhaps the reality is that many gamblers cannot be responsible with their gambling because hiding their gambling activities means they can use their money without anyone knowing. And this can harm them, especially if they lose control of themselves in gambling. They can deposit their money to gamble because no one will know, and if they see that their money is gone, they can only regret it. If someone finds out their money has run out, it can cause problems and disrupt their relationships with other people.

The after effect is what will be noticeable once the person got addicted, a questionable expense that will lead to an undeniable gambling activities, unless the person is good in balancing his finances and the time that he's spending inside gambling, keeping it as secret as possible is possible and it can be un-noticeable as they can control and they can continue to live as normal as possible while enjoying the gambling game or sports betting that they are involved.

Different kind people and different kind of behaviors, more on how they can handle in terms of gambling participations and money managements.
If you do tend to hide something from your wife or into your family but spending or expenses turns out to be that something obvious because you are already compromising too much funds or money then this is where suspicions do come from on which it is really that impossible for your wife not to be able to notice out that there's something wrong specially on the income source or flow knowing that if she knows on how much you do earn but giving only a few parts or portion then that would really be giving out that hints that there's something wrong. This is where observations and trying out to check out on what are the things that you've been dealing with and the worst they would really be throwing up accusations or assumptions which would really be related on having some mistress or something that you have been supporting which it do really
sucks to have those kind of issues to be thrown out.

This is why on the  time that you are really that making some secret dealings or behaviors or activities then as long you arent that compromising something then it should really be just fine
specially when it comes or talks with income then it would really be just that right but if we do speak about having those noticeable spending then expect
that sooner or later you would really be on such situation or condition.

What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? Will you give up all your investments and get out of crypto because of this ? Or do you you have even more broader horizon and can wait longer to see the next bull run ?

Personally, I am very much positive with bitcoin future but we should also be prepared for all situations. Nothing can be guarantee in present times and we must also be prepared for worst situations.
The person that doesn't believe in bitcoin investment will give up according to what I have seeing in cryptocurrency business, so I believe that cryptocurrency investment is a mind and when you have the mindset to invest in cryptocurrency its when you can have the full encouragement to invest  in cryptocurrency as well, because not everyone will have the believe that definitely bitcoin will surely increase whenever you invest in him, bitcoin investment is good but it depends on your intentions over the investment.
Not only just that having that mindset or goals but also it would really be a test of patience on which this is also that mainly been tested considering that not all the time that the price would really be just simply moving up.
This is why if you dont really have that kind of patience then crypto investment isnt for you but if you could really be able to bare up on waiting for years specially when you are holding then it would really be just fine.
I do agree with those words above that 4 year cycle isnt something that could really be that removed in peoples mind yet we've been already to witness and experience different bull run moments and market
cycles on which it is really just that normal that people will really be expecting the same on upcoming years.

Its true that if ever the price wont really be having that bull run on next 4 years or upcoming bull run on next year or 2025 then there's something wrong within this market
on which people had already diverted its attention into. This is why it is really just that hard to tell on what would gonna happen in the future because there's no way that we could be able to
determine about the demand level and recognition that we could have on this market specially with Bitcoin.

Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ?

If my wife tells me to stop gambling then I will stop. Usually if a wife tells me to stop, she will definitely threaten divorce if I don't obey. I thought it was a heavy consequence and I chose my wife and children over gambling

I think in this life there are many things that must be prioritized rather than just the pleasure of gambling, family is one of the most valuable things in my life. So if my family or wife asks me to stop gambling then of course I will and maybe if I want to gamble again I will tell her and ask my wife for permission.
I dont really like that kind of set up or condition on which my wife is really that making up those kind of threats on divorcing me just because i havent obeyed on what she commanded? Dang, this isnt something that i dont really like on which those kind of threatening on where it turns out that you are really that being that too controlled by your wife. In that case then if she wants a divorce then just let her be.
Not all the times we would really be that too understanding women.Im not really that kind of man on whose really just that too simple on letting things pass away because on the time that someone is already that
getting that right for you to be happy or something that would really be controlling you then its not a healthy relationship anymore.

Well i might really be that strict to this part but this is my principle in life.If ever i do gamble and my wife to be would really be saying up something on quitting then i might
really be that not considering into those women who are really that stopping on things that i've been getting used to. Well, there might be something that needs to be changed
but we know that there are things which arent supposed or not really that necessary knowing that you could really be able to control yourself or make things just that normal
then its not right that you are really that being mandated on what to do.
664  Economy / Economics / Re: Dangers of combining company and personal funds in the same account on: October 19, 2023, 04:45:57 PM
The issue of holding organization funds by an individual, lets say the treasurer of the organization should be heavily discouraged as most times it does not end well and leads to the funds being utilized or stolen by the person in charge. organizations should plan their startup properly and that includes being properly registered with the government which enables them to open a company account with approved banks.
However, there are slim exceptions whereby the organization are not much financially stable and funds are not readily available to go through the process of company registration and they startup their activities with the motive of doing the needful later as they grow in finance. this now leads to the organization funds being held by trusted members for the time being. Another one and the one that prompted me to start this topic gave me a really big challenge and I learnt invaluable lessons from it. It is the issue of holding association funds temporarily pending the rectification of accounts and change of signatories with past leaders whom have relocated from the state.
.....


To be honest, I don’t understand the problem at all? Perhaps in your country business is conducted differently, but here, the company has a current account that is assigned to a business entity. There are several keys for electronic digital signatures, for different levels of confirmation, which complicates corrupt and illegal actions with the funds of a law firm. Moreover, many companies maintain additional control over payments, as do banks with accounts of legal entities. And they can, if suspicious payments are detected, pause the transfer of funds and contact the account owner for an explanation.
The issue of “frozen” funds is resolved in the same way at the request of business owners, in situations like the one you described. But I have never heard of anyone “withdrawing money, putting it in a suitcase and taking it to a friend for safekeeping.” These are unjustified risks

Or do you mean some other situation?
Nowdays on which technology and security features then it would really be that so hard to believe that there's really that kind of breach or unauthorize withdrawal of funds if ever a business does have that kind of corporation kind of system or simply that there are a couple of individuals who do own such business.It is really just that normal that whenever that there's funds to be that outgoing then it would really be that impossible that it would really be that allowed or would be approved without others permissions and since to the easy access that we do have today then those things wont really be that so hard to be detected or totally be on point on the time that there's things happening around. This is why it would really be that some sort of mind boggling on how things to be on work specially nowadays that it is really that easy to pass up information
and also with having that common sense then business agreements and terms shouldnt really be that allowing those kind of casual withdraws or outgoing transactions without being noticed or being fully allowed.
665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 19, 2023, 02:50:04 AM
I want to pose a question that I believe is quite expensive for many of us here, and it's a dilemma most of us can relate to. We all know that gambling is a game where we put our luck to the test. However, there's a crucial moment in every gambler's journey. the moment when you hit that big win. Do you cash out and savour your victory, or do you continue playing in hopes of even bigger winnings?

I've often wondered how many of us can truly stop playing when we are ahead. It's a challenge because the allure of winning more can be irresistible. I've witnessed situations where a friend deposited money into a casino, faced losses, and just when he was on the brink of frustration, he struck a significant win. Did he stop playing? No, he left his winnings in the casino, only to lose it all again.
So, I ask you all, what would you do when you finally make that big win? Would you cash out immediately to enjoy your winnings, or would you keep playing in the hopes of an even more substantial prize? Shocked
Without a doubt when a person has been doing badly during their current session and suddenly their luck changes for the better it is very difficult for that person to stop, and instead they will keep gambling hoping for their luck to remain the same, but this hardly happens and they lose all those profits and maybe a little bit more, so as hard as it may be gamblers need to learn to be happy when they get a big win and stop gambling for some time, otherwise they will regret their decision and instead of enjoying their time gambling they will be mad about what happened, and in that case why gamble at all? Since in that case you are not getting any kind of entertainment out of the activity and you are just getting frustrated because of it.
This is because such thing that it is better not to leave your already won balance in a casino to avoid the temptations of continuing gambling at some point,  this is because,  even the cash out that we are talking about is already assumed to be part of your winnings, even though there still be the possibility of you losing the entire amount if the result of the game changes against you on the long run.
So if you ask me, I will say, that the cashout feature is the best too to catch profits, even though the profits have not yet reached 100% to avoid losing all while trying to reach the maximum amount in winning.
If ever im on the situation on which i have won some significant amount then i would really be securing my capital or simply 50% withdrawal with the amount won then those amounts would be used whether it would be buying up something as a form of reward to myself like buying some gadget if ever the amount won is big so that if ever i do have lost the other 50% then i wont really be having that kind of regret because i have already secured something. So far i havent really that able to win up that big but when it comes to behavior then im always like this on which if ever there are some winnings then 50% would really be withdrawn and the other half would really be continue to play until it would bust up. It is really just that a matter of control and discipline because if you do let your greedy that pops out and tolerate it out then you would really be having that
kind of bad decisions which it would be causing for those winnings to be put or given back again in the house or casino itself.

Majority will fail but there are really people who could really be able to take control of themselves and this is why we would really be seeing different conditions and outcomes basing up into their personal choices.
If you dont like on messing up your life then you should really be wise on taking up the decision but if not then you do know on what you should gonna do. It isnt really that hard
to make out some decisions which you do see that it would really be that beneficial for you.
666  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What Reward for a Trading Mentor on: October 18, 2023, 07:30:41 PM
I have a fair knowledge about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency. I can hold down a good conversation in it however when it comes to trading, I have come to the point where I need to up my game. After using a mock trading app for some time, I stopped and tried the live environment. I lost money. Since then I have done some trading again. I feel I need to get back in the game. Right now I am coming in with a different strategy which is a mentor. Yes, I need a mentor in this renewed trading journey who would teach me the practical aspect of it. Because any of us can easily quote the theoretical knowledge of trading.
What is the best reward for mentorship? How do you think I should reward the mentor when I have one? And how often should this be?

If you guys can give me some ideas, it will help me to take charge of the conversation when I meet with the potential mentor.

Thanks.
While finding a mentor is probably the fastest and the most convenient way to improve your trading skills, they are hard to find, and this is because they know that information too, so for the most part they only share their knowledge with those that are close to them, so any monetary offer that you make to them will fall on deaf ears as they can generate that amount of money on the markets, so I think your best shot is simply to become their friend and then ask nicely about the possibility of being mentored by them.
If you do have a friend which is a good trader then offering money or some sort of fee then it would really be that important since they could really be able to make easy money out of their trades.Its true that you would really be that lucky if ever you would really be taught by someone who does have that right knowledge and would really be able to guide you on the right way on learning things specially on trading.
Honestly we wont really be that needing a mentor since we could really be able to learn by ourselves without the need of someone but it is really that normal that there would really be people who are really just that too lazy on learning things by themselves and this is why they do much prefer on having someone that would really be able to guide them because if your not then for sure you would really be that needing to do by yourself
on which it isnt a bad option either.

Be careful on trying out to join some groups and have those so called experts on which having those kind of offering that needing to pay up something for you to be able to access the group or being mentored
simply with trading. Im not saying that its bad but most of them are shit and useless. Information and analysis been made arent really that spectacular or something that would really be
worth on what you had paid for.
667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 18, 2023, 06:40:34 PM
This is how she deal with losses, and it's not a bad thing though since this also serve as an awareness for other gamblers on what can happen if you use your money in gambling. Her money won't come back even after crying but if this can somehow help her accept the reality then let her be.

Anyway, just a perfect example of don't use the money that you can't afford to lose and clearly this is the case for this woman. She made a mistake, but at least she learned a lesson that gambling is not for people who can't accept losses. If the result of her bet turned the other way, for sure she will continue what she used to.
She should not show her sadness due to her loss at gambling and instead, keep it to herself and realize her mistake and not repeat it. But maybe showing her sadness to the public could show that she was truly sorry about everything and warn everyone she knew not to gamble or they would suffer the same fate.

Yes, that is an example of not using much money to gamble, especially when they cannot afford to see the loss later. And those of us who may still frequently gamble must be able to learn from what has happened to us so that it doesn't happen to us. And we also have to remember to always use the money we can afford to gamble.
Isn't that the story of sore losers. I mean we have seen a ton of people in our life that lost something because of their own mistakes and instead of learning from it as a response, they end up crying about it. I have seen even people who cheated their spouse and then cry about being divorced, dude you shouldn't have cheated then, not like this was a shocking response to it, you made it yourself.

I believe that we are going to end up with a lot of people who lose at gambling and cry over it, this lady wasn't the last one and I am guessing that it wasn't the first one neither, it's just the way some people are. I have lost and cried before as well, to be fair I was in my room all alone, but I did, nothing like big scene type, just some drops from my eye type, because I was scared and made a stupid childish mistake of losing a lot of money that I shouldn't have, but I learned from it and never made that mistake ever again in my life at all.
Crying would really be that a result of extreme frustation and disappointment or something that in result in losing too much money and somewhat we do know that women are really that just too sensitve on things.
Even if the said situation isnt really that too severe or simply had just lost some amounts on doing gambling but ended up with that kind of reaction which it is most likely that women would really be having this kind of reaction on which i could say that it is really that normal since losing money is never been pleasing or something a good thing. This is why its really that important that you should really assess the situation because if you do find yourself not really that tolerant when it comes on losing money then it would really be just that right that you shouldnt really be engaging on gambling.

Some people who do really just make dealing with some things just for the sake of curiosity and on the time that they had spend out that much and wasnt expecting to be like that then they would really be
that in state of shock and the worst you would really be ending up on crying. Gambling isnt for those faint heart on which they dont really like to experience some losses
specially into their funds but of course having your first experience on things would determine whether you do get interest or not.
668  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is doubling your investment more probable than we think? on: October 18, 2023, 05:47:24 PM
With halving less than a year from now, the majority of us are speculating a major increase in price and possibly the start of another bull market after 4 years. Some are expecting to surpass the previous ATH of almost $70,000 and possibly reach $100,000. Although this scenario sounds great and all, I'm not quite confident that it'll happen in the upcoming year or so. The current economic condition in the world isn't too promising and, in my opinion, will set back investments in general, including bonds and the stock market. I hope I'm proven wrong, though.

However, I tend to have a more pessimistic and down-to-earth approach to this matter. Bitcoin's current price is ranging from $27,000 to $28,000 as we speak, while we will also occasionally see it as low as $25,000. With that being said, in my opinion, sometime after the halving, the scenario of Bitcoin surpassing $50,000 doesn't sound too impossible to me. Thus, if we suppose that someone purchases Bitcoin now, approximately within a year, he or she may be capable of doubling their initial investment.

I know that these are all pure assumptions, but instead of speculating massive ATH and 3x or 4x returns, which are way too common in the forum, why not expect something that is more probable to happen in the near future? And to be honest, doubling your investment is a great yield that cannot easily be found in other forms of investment.
Just let people on thinking on what are the things that they do have in mind on which we do have our own price targets and if they are hoping for 3x or more then so be it. You cant really just blame them considering on
how this crypto moves on random and surprising way basing up on what happened back in the past where hitting up huge multipliers but its true that lets really be that realistic considering  that we are already on high
price already on which reaching out 2x or 3x is already a struggle. We would really be needing more funds on pushing up the price even on $100k a piece. This is why i do agree with some points that you had elaborated on which setting up some realistic approach or goals which it wont really be thinking on hitting 500k or 1M per coin which it is really just that too impossible.

Better to make yourself that prepare and make out some realistic numbers rather than expecting something big which it is that non realistic at all. You would really be finding yourself
that getting disappointed on the time that the price wont really be moving on the way that you are anticipating. This is why it would really be always that recommended
that you should be sticking onto those probabilities which it is likely to happen rather than on being too optimistic but way too unrealistic. Well we do have our own
hopes and expectations but just like been said that dont hope too much.

Depends on the situation in my part on which if i do make some huge hit on luck based type of games then i do immediately stop and call it a day. If i do make out some huge wins on sports betting then continuation would really be that varying basing up if there are still some games which are really that worth to take risks or i do really that being knowledgeable on, but if there's none then i would call it a day. This is why gambling industry is really that becoming too big and profitable just because of those people who do keep on playing despite of those huge wins because they would eventually be losing all of those money or winning back into the casino which this had been always that typical scenario on speaking about playing more after a win. Human beings are naturally greedy on which it cant really be removed on someones mind to play more to have more winnings.

Even myself cant really be that so sure when it comes to actions to be made specially on the time that you are in a verge on having huge wins. You would really be definitely be thinking on playing more on trying to make
more winning and this is something that really that too hard to be control and to resist specially if you do see that your gambling account balance does have that huge number then most likely you would
be playing more because of that kind of having that intent and belief towards your luck which we know that we cant really be lucky all the time and this is why it would be ideal that having that disciplne
and control would really be that relevant.
670  Economy / Economics / Re: No petrol/diesel car sales by 2035/ Reality or dream? on: October 17, 2023, 10:38:43 PM
Low range is the most annoying thing about EVs. And no it can't recharge while you're drinking coffee. Fast charging takes about 30-40 minutes on most EVs. If you drive a lot on a highway you lose too much time (and also it's not particularly good for the battery). The only viable solution would be swappable battery packs like you could leave your battery at the charging station and plug another one instead but that would also require complete redesign of the EVs to make batteries swappable etc.  

Yesterday, the first Aion LX (PLUS Qianli package) car from the Chinese manufacturer GAC (Guangzhou Automobile Corp.) was spotted in Kyiv. The car can be supplied with batteries of various capacities, front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The single-wheel drive version is equipped with one electric motor with a power of 144 kW, and the 4x4 version has two, delivering a total of 290 kW.

With a 93 kWh battery, the range reaches 650 km (NEDC), and with the top-end 144 kWh battery – up to 1008 km. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h ranges from 3.9 s to 7.9. The maximum speed reaches 180 km/h. GAC crossovers are supplied to Ukraine mainly on order - at a price of 35 thousand dollars. In the most top-end configuration - up to 70 thousand dollars. Those. The price and range are very reasonable. The car cannot be called “exclusive” in terms of price; the price is quite reasonable considering its characteristics. The question of quality and durability remains... Although now, in my opinion, no one is considering a purchase for more than 5 years Smiley

PS and about charging speed:
Battery capacity: 93.3 kWh = 0.7 hours (fast charge)
Battery capacity: 144.4 kWh = 0.85 hours (fast charge)

I am 100% sure that those 650km and 1008km range were calculated under perfect weather conditions, when the car drove unstoppable with constant speed with only 1 driver and empty trunk. Manufacturers always do that and call it as average and default. These results are only on the paper. Real life tests are always different. I did not have much cars, but those 4 I've had during my drivers career never showed same numbers that were in the users manual.

However, charging speed remains the bottle neck of all electric cars. With 0.7h charge time, you are bond to the car. Leaving it and going away most probably would increase queue time for other drivers that wants to charge. That would be disrespectful. With high probability, the driver will get bored by waiting and would go to gas station to get snacks. That is a "+" for petrol companies, and less effective economy in electric vs fuel expenses battle.
Totally that a marketing strategy kind of stuff on showing those fuel economy numbers on which we cant really be able to deny that this is one of the most important thing that buyers would really be that in concern before buying a car which is on its fuel economy or efficiency on which the higher the number the better but its true that those are really just that on paper and not really that based up on real time or real life situation
which tons of factors and things that could really affect in overall. So dont expect that it would really be that on point but rather it is really that way more lesser. In speaking about EV charging speeds then we do have those fast chargers. The only issue on here is that it isnt really that available on any places just like with those gasoline stations which it is almost on everywhere on which anxiety would really be there on the time  that you've been cruising with your EV on a particular trip.

Its really that hard to believe that petrol/diesel would cease to exist because of that EV's existence. They might exist but not on the point that would be totally replacing those traditional stuffs.
When it comes to performance and features then there's still things which EV cant really be able to replace or match up with those diesel/petrol powered cars
and some application on which needed up this thing which it would really be  that always relevant and much needed.
671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sustainable Approach For Your Earnings in Gambling on: October 17, 2023, 09:18:20 PM
When it comes to gambling; only one thing sets apart gamblers from one another and this is the next step after winning. For me, i follow this simple strategy.

  • I have a go to plans, budget and i bet accordingly to that budget and plan
  • Immediately i win a bet; i go on a 3-4 days betting strike, why? I use this time to spend my earnings as already scheduled
  • For every bet earnings, i immediately withdraw 80% to my account for my scheduled plans; 5% for personal flaunts (You can call it enjoyment haha) and then i leave the remaining 15% to continue gambling into the next win.

With this approach, you will lead a successful gambling life, you will not spend all your winnings on "betting" and you will be able to point to one or two things in your life that you got with betting or gambling proceeds.

Do you think this is a good idea? Do you have a better idea?
Lets have it!
Dealing with gambling doesnt really mean that you would really be needing to be successful.The only thing that you should really be minding is on how you would really be making yourself not get addicted or becoming that impulsive towards it because this is always been the main issue on the time that you would really be needing to deal up yourself something like this or with this activity. We do win some or lose some and this would really be the only outcome on which we could really be able to experience. Proper money management would be the key so that you wont really be ending up on spending like a madman just because you had made yourself that becoming impulsive on which it would really be just that right that having proper financial allocation will really be just that recommended.

Its good that you could already make out those kind of allocation on which this one do simply shows that you are really that having that discipline and control towards self and this is something
that not all people could be able to do once they do really be able to deal up with gambling.If you do find yourself that dealing up with something like this
then control and discipline is really that necessary.
672  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do You Use Crypto Signals? on: October 17, 2023, 08:50:44 PM
I don't think that's the foundation and key to success. What's key to success is your skill being a trader and your ability to gather information, analyze and read the market and its charts.
Relying on these signals won't do good to you, believe me. Just look how many people are telling that someone shouldn't get into these signals. Maybe you're right but as long as they're for free and you're not obliged to pay a premium or any membership fee then enjoy that perk.
But still, you are you on this one and when you trade, you're the one that should continuously learn on this market.
Even the most successful signal channels can fall on hard times. Imagine that while they were free everything was fine, but as soon as you pay for the subscription they have a series of unsuccessful transactions, what to do in this case? Probably not everyone will be ready to continue trading using their signals after this.

We should learn to trade without any signals, so not to depend on anyone else. I don’t know a single successful trader who would trade only using free signals and make a profit from trading, unless someone found such a group and kept silent about it so that no one would know about it.  Grin
That's normal and legit. But if they don't lose, I don't think they will offer their service anymore because that alone can print them unlimited money already and the program can only be threatened if someone are aware with it. Free signals are supposed to not perform really well but I understand why some enhance it, it is because to encourage people join them if they are meant as a paid group. Of course, if we are not happy with the results they are providing, there is no point on continuing it anymore.

We can either move on to the other or just learn to trade properly on our own. That way we will never get scammed anymore. Obviously, successful traders don't need signals anymore but maybe they are the ones who can offer their ability to others.
And having those words and assurances would really be that not right at all and first time you do encounter on having those kind of sayings and wordings then it would really be just that wise that you do stay away on which they are just obviously trying out to hook people to believe on them with those kind of sweet talkings as if there's like some assurance that to those who do follow would really be making money. They are really that indeed making money but only into those subs fees on which those newbie traders or investors are really that blindly following them but if you are to those someones who do really be able to mind off that well
on whats the real deal, then it would really be impossible that you cant really be able to assess on which is right and which is wrong.

Crypto signals are everywhere on which there are paid ones and there are free ones but actually you could really be able to make your own if you are really that just
mindful on doing so. Come in mind that we are all speculators on here on which it would really be just that so normal that you would really be that you could
also make your own without trying out to be reliant with others sources.

Your experience is valuable and something many confront but don't talk about. Link sharing, forum spam, and social networking don't work, right? Not working

You must think big, wise, and ahead. Creating a blog or casino review site is a great idea. Sharing experiences, benefits, and downsides, not simply links, is important. Truth and transparency are desired. They want good and bad information. Give them the truth, and they'll trust you. Your links will be clicked because people trust you

Always prefer a few good men and active referrals over a big army of inactive ones. It's quality over quantity, every single time. So keep sharing, being honest, and being yourself. Referrals will come. They will visit and stay
You are correct, however like with any other business idea the issue is if you can survive for long enough to get those referrals? Because as we know this is not going to happen soon and it is going to take some time for a person to gain the necessary reputation and trust by the use of their own website before they can attract the referrals they are looking for, so unless a person can hold out for at least a year before enjoying the success they want then maybe they should not embark on this adventure.
Well, you are very correct, at least, we can apply this to our day-to-day life and make use of planting a seed as an example, building a casino reviewing website can turn out to be a very lucrative business and investment, but it's one that require time, anybody embarking on a project like this must have something else doing, and treat; building the reviewing site as a side project or hobby, which is like planting a seed, that will have to germinate, grow and bear fruits, all this processes is something that does and will never happen in a day, but will require some time.

So, building a system through which a person could refer people to a casino; like i mentioned before could end up becoming a very serious and lucrative business, but like you have said, seriousness, time and patience are the qualities such a person must not lack, if the project must become a successful one in the future.
Online gaming is undoubtedly a potential goldmine, especially when it comes to evaluating casino websites. People behave in predictable ways. When done correctly, a review website has the power to attract users like a magnet since they are drawn to reliability and positive feedback. However, and this is a major though, patience and time are essential. It is unrealistic to anticipate that a review site set up now would prosper tomorrow. This investment, this process, is a complex dance involving commitment and hard work.

You've mentioned something crucial: approaching it as a side project. This is about understanding the evolution of human behavior, entertainment, and the digital environment, not just about hedging bets. A pastime or side enterprise allows for research without the crippling pressure of quick profits. However, as you correctly note, there can be no half-hearted effort or patience. To genuinely benefit from it, one must fully immerse themselves, and thats where the true difficulty resides.
If we do talk or speak about review sites then it would really be that entirely that not that easy if you are really that aiming or relying about  sign ups or referral hunting or affiliation.Yes, it could really be that popular but it wont really be that something that make out guarantees that you would really be getting referrals out of that. Lets say for example on that known review site that we do have on this forum which is Btcgosu or gamblingbro
on which even if they are really that been recognized on this forum but it wont really be that an assured thing that they would really be able to hook up players to register under their links.
This is why its always been a tough challenge in speaking about referral hunting but it doesnt mean that iwould be a waste of time yet there are really people who are really that good when it comes to marketing
their links or speading it out and could really be able to make people sign under their links. It wont really be that something guaranteed or worth on doing so but you cant really be able to tell
if there would be someone who would really be signing up under you.

It is really nice advice!
But i have few moment to correct or discuss - it is from my experience and possible it would be interesting to someone.

7. Try to "play for free" as much as possible. Example: if you make a bet and put $20 on it and you win and you win up to example $50. Then I would still continue for another round, if that also turns out as winning and I then  got $100-$150. I will cash out a part of the money and then continue, then the pressure is gone and if you lose it wont hurt as much.
Quote
I call it "bank". I have special debt card for gambling.
I make the same bet every time. $10 in the beginning until i have $200. After it i increase bet to $20, $30, etc. The main rule - i must have deposit between 10 and 20 bets. It i lose - i decrease bet, if i win - i increase it. It is money management

Yeah that's right. I will make some changes to get it fit in when I have time thanks.
Seems like we almost play the same. I start with all form $15-$35 then I get it to $200-$400 then I cash out a bit, and still continue.
I "farm" my way up with games I really make good research on and i often win then lose these days and I am happy with the profit.
I think that it is standard way. Long ago my friend taught me play poker and the first thing he told was money management. Increase the bank, increase the bet, cash out, repeat.
It helps to get stable profit from gambling. Of course, if you making research before bets.
The good thing or advantageous thing on gambling which are strategic based ones is that you could really be able to apply some analysis into it unlike on luck based games on which you would really be that purely be relying with luck literally.As for Sportsbetting whatever type it would be then you could really be able to apply such analysis on which you would really be able to take advantage if you do really know on what you are doing comparing into those people who do just make out some blind bets without any basis. Speaking about money management then it would really be that crucial since you are the ones would really be that trying out to allocate a certain bet amount on a specific match on which you could really be able to take cherish out of those amount for you to get entertained at the same time you could really be able to bet more if you do
wanted to do so which it is unlike or not possible on the time that you do make out some all in bets and ending up a loss in one go.

When it comes to sportsbetting then it would really be that truly that interesting and entertaining if you do simply stick on the sports on which you are really that getting used to or simply does have that awareness
or knowledge about it. Sports betting isnt really just that possibly could make out some profits but at the same time it would really be bringing out that enjoyment aside on betting that you had made.
Just only spend out on the amount that you can afford to lose which this had been always the golden rule when it comes to gambling or betting.

Well that one hell of a freak show this time Cheesy What was the story behind Dillon Dannis and Logan Paul? Why they decided to fight? One is supposed to be boxer, other is bjj guy. It was so stupid that a youtuber that claim to be a boxer can not knock out a guy who suck at bjj so much, that even club bouncer managed to choke him. Lol, DD did not even manage to close lock on those last seconds of fight.

Dannis trainer is Connor that probably leads him to this kind of arrangement for easy money. This kind of matches is already a trend. I wonder how this shit show still gets so much of support despite the poor performance in terms of boxing skills. The twitter barking is much more entertaining to watch rather than the real fight.

This kind of match might be staged to deliver entertainment to all the viewers. I will say that this is true if the fight will be on octagon instead of boxing that is very hard to fake.
Not totally that shocked anymore that these kind of fights that had been arranged do really gain up that much interest despite of shitty performance and we've seen these things on exhibition matches too which they are really that making arrangement of a non-fighter for a specific sports vs into a fighter which is specialized on it or both doesnt have experience on it but they would really be needing to follow up with boxing rules.
Its true that things is really that too nasty if it would really be that be seen on X/Twitter with those words but inside the ring then its a huge mehhh. Performance are really that childish but surprisingly lots or ton
of people do really get entertained on whatever that they are doing inside even it is really just that too shit to look at. hehe

There are even some local influencers type of boxing too here in our country on which both influencers would be the ones will really be fighting inside the ring even if they would really be
making look like a fool of themselves on which it would really be just that normal that they would really be doing something like this to make more exposure
or make themselves more popular or having that kind of attention seeking fellas.
676  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Flip or Trade? What’s The Bigger Gamble? on: October 15, 2023, 09:44:44 PM
Lost in the whirlwind world of day trading? It often feels like a maze with big folks and their flashy tools, leaving us hoping for a stroke of luck. Imagine ditching the tricky charts for a simple, real coin flip, person vs person, with a fair 50/50 chance. No gimmicks, no house edge, just a clear, honest game.

What’s your take? Does day trading seem more of a gamble compared to a straight-up coin flip
When I first read your title, I thought you meant flip trading, where you buy low and sell it quickly in a short period of time as soon as the price is higher instead of holding it for long term. But it looks like you are talking about games like coin flipping. Then in this case, the bigger gambling is flipping a coin. It totally depends on your luck and requires no skill. You have no control over your profit/loss. On other hand, flipping requires you to understand the market and some skills to execute the trades properly. Both has risks associated, but the risks with trading is much lesser than that of gambling with a coin.

Indeed, if trading is largely about skill and understanding the market, then why do many traders struggle to consistently outperform the market average? Isn't that indicative of an element of unpredictability and chance, much like gambling?
There is unpredictability in the cryptocurrency market, there is no doubt of that, but that doesn't really make it just like gambling where there is no chart, there are no movement patterns, there is no rule of supply and demand, and there is definitely no indicator that gives you a general idea of where the market might move next. That's why, despite the market being highly unpredictable at times, one can still be able to make more successful trades than failed ones if one studies the market very well.

So, when we talk about gambling, we know that there is nothing like knowledge or experience or anything that can give a person any idea about what the outcome of the next bet can be, that can be said about sports betting but it's again different than gambling games because sports betting also requires knowledge and experience from bettors.
Have you heard "Knowledge is power"? It applies to many parts of our lives, including crypto. Every market—crypto, stocks, even beanie babies—has wild coasters. But its beauty is in the rhythms, ebb and flow, and small indications that say, "Hey, maybe it's time to hodl." A. "Dude, sell!" Gambling? Thats random. No doubt, I enjoy poker. Theres still strategy and bluffing. Similar to sports betting, where the informed have an edge. Finally, learn, be curious, and enjoy the ride. The crypto-fueled rocket ride is what matters, not the destination.
As it should be but majority of us would really be focusing much about on the destination and not on that ride because we are really that making ourselves that optimistic on ending up on positive without even trying out to realize on whats the real thing when it comes to gambling and when it comes to things that do talks about trading. Everything would really be that random and there would really be factors on which it would really be affecting out the outcome on which this is something that you should really need to look upon. We do know that dealing up with neither trading or gambling then it is really just that obvious on what are the things that would really be needed. You cant really just purely rely on luck everytime you would really be deciding on dealing on something that needs analysis and this is something that would really be needed.

Majority of us would really be just that minding about on the things that we do have in our brains. If whether you do like on playing something risky or you would really be dealing on things
which you do have that kind of interest. Going for some investment or going for something that do talks about entertainment. Bigger gamble doesnt matter because of both risks then
you do really could be able to put up yourself on a condition which you might be losing up your money big time. It does depend on how you would be dealing with things.
677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 15, 2023, 08:48:14 PM
Well, what a great scheme - you work at work and earn money to spend this money on gambling right at work, then you work again and so on in a circle. Smiley Wonderful, isn't it? You don’t even have to go home, start a family and try to secure a decent future for yourself.

Okay, let's put the stupid jokes aside.

I am absolutely sure that gambling at work will negatively affect the productivity of one’s work tasks, and if we add to this the possible losses in online casino, then this will already be double damage.

Many here claim that they perceive gambling as entertainment, but work processes are in no way comparable to entertainment and therefore, it is necessary to clearly separate these two types of activity. Work at work, and have fun like gambling in your free time.

That kind of behavior will obviously end up how it has many times in the pass, likely the person Lossing their job and trying to continue to fuel their gambling addiction through other less legitimate means.
Losing ones job because of gambling is supposed to be one of most important and earliest wake up calls for gamblers to realize their are going down a dangerous path, if they realize and correct their course on time, then there won't be reasons for them to suffer much further.

It is similar when someone is arrested for a small crime and won't change their ways, to further progress onto commiting felonies.

Depends on how the situation would really be that severe in terms of engagement with gambling yet there are still people who would really be able to retain their control despite of playing while at work on which they could really be still able to do their job and able to play at the same time whenever they do have the opportunity. Not all people who do play gambling at work would definitely be ending up on losing their job. It would really be always that depend on how you would really be making those actions because if you dont make out such control and discipline towards yourself and werent really that sensible on what actions you would really be making
then pretty sure you would really beending up on having that kind of problem on which it isnt really that something that you could be able to avoid if you do tolerate your addiction.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible or else you would definitely really be that experiencing on things which arent supposed you would really gonna need to experience.
It would really be all depending on how you would really be making yourself that aware on the actions that you are making.
678  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Know When to Stop. Lesson for Everyone, Particularly Investors on: October 14, 2023, 11:21:45 PM
One of the advantages of the Dual Investment Strategy, which I've discussed before, is that it doesn't demand constant attention. You can set up your portfolio, step back, and live your life, checking on your investments when it's convenient for you. Let your life schedule when you review your portfolio, rather than letting the market dictate your life. There's nothing in this strategy that necessitates an immediate reaction to market movements. Just because the market is moving rapidly doesn't mean you have to follow the crowd blindly. The same holds true for the Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) method.

There is no problem for a trader who is not going to take entry in a trade, when he takes an entry in a trade it would be the start of his profit or loss. After starting trading there must be some profit or some loss, while in rare cases there are some situations in which the trader is not in loss or profit. And I think a small profit can be good for a trader. But looking at the market conditions is very necessary, and taking care of the market condition is also important. A trader must be aware of the market, and he must have his strategies to get to some profit, If he didn't set some situations/strategies for himself then it would be really difficult for the trader to go smooth at trading in some aspect he may face problems.

Dont make yourself on making rush decisions on which on the time that you would deciding on having some entry because having rush decisions would certainly be ending up on having that kind of mistake or errors just because you are really that making yourself that in a rush then its impossible that you have made out some good analysis out of it but rather it would really be that opposite. As for learning then its something a never ending thing on which majority of us would really be that continue to learn as far as we do engage and learning or getting experience basing up on what we are doing. Learning on how to stop?
This is something that would really be part of our intuition yet there would really be moments on which we would really be able to notice out that its better to stop and sit idle rather than on making yourself
making action without even thinking on which is better.

Investing or whatever you are dealing with as long it do involves money then it would really be just that normal that you should really be knowing on what to do or on what are the
measures that you would really be needing to do as long it would be giving out that advantage then this what matter the most.
679  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: October 14, 2023, 08:43:36 PM
Should we first of all waited for the casino registration before reading up the requirements for the KYC if they are conditions we can afford to bear or not, we can't just continue making registration on wasted efforts to later discover that we cannot cope with their laid down conditions, the only condition i can accept this kind of suggestion is when the casino is not a KYC gambling platform entirely, then I will know that after my registration, i have nothing to worry about.
Sometimes casino can decide to leave KYC verification so that gamblers would not have any problem that will hinder them from using the casino to relief them of the stress they would have to understand if KYC is required immediately.

 I think this will help the gambler to focus on something else especially on there bets and when they wan to withdraw, KYC can be necessary. Some persons could see this kind of tactics as a deceit not knowing thay their KYC verification will be needed when they are not asked from the beginning. This is why it is very important for us to do some diligent findings before using any casino.
We can't blame the casino or a platform for what we expected on our own without them saying anything about it. Their only responsibility is to present the terms and conditions to us and they do that when we are creating an account and we agree with them without even reading them, so if there is anyone to blamed for that, it's us and not them. If we really care about KYC or any other rule and regulation, we should go ahead and read the terms and conditions before we create our account and start gambling.

We become lazy when we join a platform, and then we blame the platform for not letting us know about a certain thing when they have it written in the terms and conditions that we agreed to when creating our account, so I don't see why we should blame them when they didn't even say anything about it.
The only time that people would really be checking out those terms and conditions is on the time that they are experiencing some issues and its true that most of us are really that too lazy on reading up sites terms and conditions on which this is something that should have been done on the time that we do make out registration on the site but well even myself is really that guilty to this on which it is really that too tiring on reading up that whole pile of text on the time that you do play or make some registration on which we do know that most terms and conditions are really that mimic to each other or really just that the same on which having that assumption that most of them really just the same but to know that there would really be certain conditions might be changed up basing on the site that you are dealing with.

In most casinos that we do have today in the market which verification or kyc is really that possibly be asked specially if you have violated their terms. Only a few would really be asking
for some verification on the time that you do reach out some withdrawal amount threshold but there are still some places who would really be that having no questions asked
whenever you do request out some withdrawal on which it is really just that they could easily released without questions asked out.
680  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: October 14, 2023, 07:56:16 PM
this story is the same as what my cousin experienced, he retired early (at the age of around 35 years) now he is around 45 years old but there is an illness he is suffering from and he has to get proper treatment which quite expensive, so he sold some of his valuables and also withdrew his investment in shares.
as long as you can still make money, don't even think about retiring early, I know early retirement is everyone's dream but who knows what will happen next, you have to maintain your grades and productivity so that you stay healthy and respected by people.
I have also a friend that has aged 30+ and he got early retirement from the Armed Forces, he has a total of 12+ years of his job. But he took retirement very early, now he doesn't have any job and the pension which is issued by the government to him is very less and he cannot afford even his children's school fees. So, I have taken a lesson from his early retirement that early retirement is not a good idea, but If a person has some other business then it would be better for him. Otherwise without any other way of earning, taking retirement may lead to economic problems.

Wow! the cases you are describing are quite hardcore, and I agree that the thirties are not a good age to retire early. But I don't think the same for other ranges of age.

In my work there is a colleague that is in his sixties and just decided to quit early. That will suppose a big discount in his retirement pension, and many told him that he is mad, but he wants to enjoy the good years left, and I respect that. In Spain the retirement age is 67, and increasing, and some of us won't get to that age, so early retirement can be a wise decision in some cases.
Here in out country on which on the time that you do able to hit up that age of 60 specially when you are working on a government agency or some big private companies then you could really be having that kind of optional
retirement on which neither you would completely be taking those retirement funds @60 or would really be that opting out for working even more until 65 on which it is already the maximum. There's no way that you could really be able to get some retirement on just having that few years when it comes to your service or work, not unless if you have really just simply quit and retire on your own will just because you've seen
that you are already that financially capable on which you could really be able to sustain and survive without relying on any work or having that day job.

We know that there are different or various circumstances or conditions on which you would really be making yourself that able to make out decisions on which it is really something that you do wish for.
There are people who are really that preferring on cherishing out their lives without needing to be shackled with that 8-5 thing or being an employee for the rest of their lives. Although some becomes that successful but majority would really be having no choice considering that not all would really be able to achieve their goals and targets in life on which it would really be resulting on just simply staying
on where they current are and this is in fact the reality.
