So, it is not always some kind of scam.... but just some off-the-book strategy to hook high rollers for the casino.  Roll Eyes

This offer was used to scam people, and it happened in the Philippines, with millions of pesos being scammed. The promise of a 5% monthly return is undeniably attractive, and on the surface, it doesn't appear overly suspicious, as even legitimate lending businesses can offer interest rates in the range of 5% to 10% on a monthly basis, which is reasonable. However, what's truly dubious about the scammers who defrauded numerous investors is their tendency to flaunt substantial profits. These scammers often entice people to entrust their investments, and unfortunately, the victims fail to see it as a red flag. Consequently, they end up losing a significant amount of money. Their lack of knowledge and, perhaps, their greediness have led them into this unfortunate situation.

The outcome of the fight doesn't benefit him. It ended in a DRAW, but it's not just the outcome that concerns us; it's how he handled the fight and how he appeared to gas out early. It's not a good sign for him, and I think Inoue could decline his challenge, saying he's not on his level.

He was expected to win that fight convincingly, but we were surprised by his performance. If you watched that fight, you could really see how badly he wanted to knock out his opponent. It was evident right from the very first round of the fight that this was his intention. But we should never underestimate his opponent; after all, he was a former bantamweight champion, so he has some skills and the mindset of a champion.

I'm not sure what's next for Casimero, but the fact that he didn't lose still keeps him in a ranking that could potentially improve over time. I know he's very eager to fight Inoue, but I think he should let that opportunity pass for now. There's a time for everything, and what he needs to do is train well, get some more fights under his belt, and make sure he impress the fans. That's when the hype for their matchup will be created again.

For now, we can only speculate on the possible outcome of an Inoue vs. Tapales fight, as this is shaping up to be the most significant bout in the lower division so far.

Even I know there are betting agents who are so trusted, that they never meet you, and you just tell them your bet and deposit money in their accounts and all this correspondence is done through mobile or WhatsApp. It is always better to investigate the repute of the betting agent before transferring your money to him.


Even if such an agent has a good reputation, the fact that they hold the money for betting can be very risky. They might get tempted when facing financial problems – it's a very human trait. In comparison, when you deposit funds directly with a casino that has a reputation to uphold, they have a bigger interest in keeping your money secure and paying you when you win. Their reputation is their main asset in maintaining a profitable business.
684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 14, 2023, 02:26:03 PM
I'm usually not lucky in winning in gambling and that's why I have limited my engagement on gambling to the barest minimum. I know some group of people who are always making cool money from gambling but after making several attempts to win my gambles, I always find out that I'm not as lucky as others so I decided not to get involved in gambling again like others. But that doesn't mean that I've totally stopped gambling as I can only gamble on sports betting whenever I can do it without my basic income.
This is also one of my reason why I have limited gambling time, that is because my luck is not present always and its rarely to happen and if my luck is there, still the profit is not that high. I honestly feel jealous to some of my friends who got a lucky jackpot most of the time, I’m also hoping for that day to come. Gambling is a game of luck, if its not around better to have a limited exposure and just wait for your moment to get a win, patience is a virtue as well in gambling, better not to expect that much.
Luck seems not to be on us always, therefore, we have to accept the fact that we never win always as well.
Yes, I believe that some people got too lucky while some are not just like you. But it doesn't really matter if you are gambling just for fun but if you think about winning and hoping for luck, you'll gonna missed it. I would admit that never been so lucky in gambling but I was still doing this just because I was happy being on the platform even though I kept losing. And because I'm no lucky guy, I'd choose to gamble in sports betting which I think I have the chance of being in the lottery or those things that only luck is the way to win.

I never believe in luck.
Well I did because it already happen to me - is different place and situation.

Trading is not an easy thing to do because there is a lot of learning that has to be done beforehand and it takes a long process or time for us to learn, but that doesn't mean this is something that can't be done by everyone because basically trading is for people who want to learn.
I would agree that trading is not easy but not difficult to learn if we really want to know about it. Of course, it never happens too fast and quick but as we keep going, we can learn a lot of things. That is why those people who would think that they can make money is a short time, those who have never understood trading itself.
Quote
In my opinion, time is uncertain because people's capacity and learning will be different so there are some things that can be done quickly or vice versa, but what is certain is that if the person is willing to learn then I am sure they will be able to trade well and correctly, and this must be underlined. is that profit and loss are normal and normal things that happen, no matter how good a person is at trading, they will definitely experience these two things.
No instant, that was the fact and we can't change that. Before we become pro traders and reach our goal, we also have a lot of suffering and losses.
If we wanted to become a pro-trader then we should also have the courage and spirit, and of course, to become patient.
686  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can change lives on: October 14, 2023, 11:55:57 AM
This is no news, Bitcoin has the capacity to turn even the poor but well-informed people to be wealthy. It's all about the risk the person takes at that time that it's at low prices. It's still not late though. The regret I have about Bitcoin is that it wasn't as popular as this, if not, I don't think I would have missed out on being a millionaire in the USD through it.

Such a very big investment success might not be possible again, but in the long run, the person that consistently invest in Bitcoin will never regret their bet on it.

Not all the poor tho, since privilege is what we're talking here. No matter how much they wanted to invest, if they don't have the capability of buying because of their salary and responsibilities in their lives, or if they can't make a loan because of their financial status, then there's nothing they can do to change their lives unless someone would help them to arrange things for them to make their lives a little bit more easier.
It can change life if we invest in the right way. But talking about poor people seems to be a challenge for them in terms of capital. They are really unfortunate and has little chance to make their life better with Bitcoin but those in the middle class and rich people will get their way to improve more.

I don't encourage someone to take a loan for this investment or even sell their valuable asset for this. In fact, many people got this idea but sadly, they'll turn to nothing and empty because they fail. The consequences are harsh which is why we have to be careful as this will not just make our life better but also can ruin our finances as well.
687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can’t cope on my own. What do you think I should do? on: October 14, 2023, 11:23:46 AM
Then after some time I decided to try my luck again so I played one of his games and i won i was so happy and it was as though the curse placed on me has been lifted and I tried some more games and i won again and again and since the beginning of the new season i only lost twice and i am now proud of my gambling achievements.

According to the channel free games are limited and we can only enjoy for a month and now the month is almost over and only VIPs will be entitled to games when the month elapses. I have been having doubts whether to join the VIP zone because I don’t want to be scammed that’s why i want to know your opinions.

 What do you all think i should do?
Believe me, it is not a curse that makes you win, but you could say that the victory you get is a temptation to not be able to stop gambling. Casinos apply stimuli and measure your response after being awarded a win. Then you will be interested and increasingly confident in playing at this casino that you consider very promising. We know that this channel has succeeded in bringing you into its circle of fraud. So would you believe that it is a blessing that playing at other casinos is not profitable and then finding a gambling house that is willing to lose money on you? Of course not, from the start you started to enter the group's channel and until now you are still interested, meaning you have succeeded in being deceived by them.
Winning at first is a bait where you're encouraged to gamble more and enjoy your early days in gambling. Indeed, not a surprise that is why we should be careful in those groups that we join and of course, the platform. Many sites looked good and would give us a favor at first but later on, we found out that they were just playing us while they saw us as having interest. They just observe how we gamble as that will give them an idea who we are. That is manipulation and many gamblers have fallen to such a trick.

Better to know other projects rather than hoping for them to rise again as it was impossible. Though I won't say they are worthless, however, with their performance after bullish, it is not really convincing enough to trust and think for a profit. That will tell us that investors are quite losing their interest and demand is declining. Honestly, they're out of the trend already and investors nowadays are watching AI projects and meme coins. These gaming projects seem to be going to decline more rather than seeing them recover, the chance is very slim.
689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 13, 2023, 09:59:56 PM
I'd like to hear from those of you who have experienced this or are still dealing with it. Please share your testimonies.

I don't have direct experience like that. However, it cannot be denied that this could happen to some people who really like gambling. Especially for those who are addicted, it will be difficult to escape the memories and shadows of their gambling activities. In this case, initially it might just be for fun in between work so that you don't get bored, don't get bored, or don't get stressed. Maybe it also started from playing regular games. However, over time, this will actually backfire on the perpetrator. Because if you lose when gambling at work, this will definitely affect your mood. I'm not sure if someone spoke it wouldn't have an effect. However, defeat and losing money will definitely affect our focus at work, especially when we are working, plus the pressure of the workload at that time.

That's why you should be professional, when you're at work you should just focus on your work. Do gambling at home or outside working hours so you can focus on the gambling you are doing.
As long as we can manage our time correctly and it never affects our performances that is still okay provided that we are doing this during break time, not during office hours. There is a perfect time for gambling which is I don't understand why some gamblers will gamble at work when we have time for a break and after work. In fact, management won't allow them to do other stuff during their working time. And more often, the results are not good, and possibly we just lose our mode which certainly affects our performance.

There's risk involved in all of man's endeavors, not just related to trading.
But I quite agree with you that you need knowledge before getting involved in trading. Moreso, you also need to trade with what you can afford to lose, because the market can turn south.

no one in this world can escape from risk, so risk when trading is a very natural thing that can be experienced by everyone who tries to become a trader, currently there are many videos or tutorials that explain the best steps to reduce risk when trading.  trading, and knowledge like that is something that every trader must have, especially beginner traders, remember that trading is an activity that requires intelligence, a lot of capital is not that important, if you have good skills then you can make profits quickly.
It is a mere fact that a trader must understand how trading works. We can earn profit from trading but we also suffer losses if we get wrong especially if we have no knowledge about this. A reason why we did not rush to enter trading nor we would think about earning fast but instead, make it a priority to learn it first. Many people got a huge mistake from thinking that trading will be a way to becoming rich because it was not that easy, you may be earning today but can't be sure of the next day.
691  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will reach all-time-high before halving. - BitQuant on: October 12, 2023, 09:54:38 PM
Now is the time that determines the conditions for the halving day that will occur in early 2024. If this year's price closes still as it is now then you can be sure that the halving day will be difficult to create a new ATH, and of course we have to be prepared for all conditions and if things go bad happens then holding on and being patient is a better thing.
Regarding the issue of surviving and being patient, I think there is no need to be warned because everyone also has their own way of surviving and being patient when facing conditions that are not as usual. But if we focus on the closing price which is still below $30K for this year, it could indeed be very possible for Bitcoin to reach a new ATH even though this is not impossible for Bitcoin. It's just that there are more levels for Bitcoin to pass through so it will be a little difficult to see a new ATH if the price of Bitcoin does not return to above $30K within this year.
The problem is that we still believe in things that it was not possible. We could think about ATH and we are certain that it comes but we never know when it comes exactly. Therefore, we can assume that we are bullish this year or before halving but based on my experience, the price of Bitcoin skyrockets after halving. Of course, we believe that is in our mind and with our experience but still, we can't assume that what will happen in the past will be happening again at the same time. Perhaps, everyone can make their own speculation but we don't have to wonder why it fails because nobody was able to predict the market right.
692  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie Don't be afraid of buying Bitcoin on: October 12, 2023, 09:33:14 PM
Rich people can never be afraid of taking risks as they are not afraid to lose their money as well, unlike those who are in the middle class or poor class.
As we can see, wealthy people mostly get into making business and investments because they have enough capital to start with.
These are the most common reasons why people are afraid to buy Bitcoin
 - lack of funds
 - lack of knowledge
 - hearing negative feedback/scam issues

It was hard to convince someone to get into buying when we were already influenced by negativity.
693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: October 12, 2023, 12:30:37 PM
You've got a point there; it seems the hype around Casimero wasn't matched by his performance, and it's hard to see him matching up against Inoue successfully. It's pretty funny that he jokingly called Inoue his best friend in an interview before the fight.

A rematch might be possible, but it doesn't look all that likely. It's not exactly a high-profile bout, and I think Casimero might be better off moving up to face a tougher challenger, like Nery. However, beating Nery could be a tougher nut to crack than Oguni, for sure.

Casimero is self-destructing, or he is deteriorating. His promoters are spending a lot of money only to give that kind of performance for is not acceptable. He was training hard but i think he needs a legit trainer now, not just rely on his brother as this might end his career abruptly.

He was supposed to look good in this fight but it seems he was revealed, i mean how can he call out Inoue if he kept on getting that kind of sub-par performance? A rematch is unlikely because the aim here is to get higher ranking in every fight won so i think Nery could be a good fight if his promoters can secure that.

Right from the get-go, it seemed like Casimero was off-balance, and he lost some of his speed. It appeared as if he was eager to finish the fight early with a knockout, which might have caused him to tire out. This strategy didn't work out so well, especially since his opponent had a strong chin and absorbed many good counter punches while continuing the fight.

It's definitely a draw, and I'm sure quite a few of us were hoping for a KO or a clear win by decision for Casimero.

Now, it makes me curious what was the odds for draw, isn't it x100?
694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: October 12, 2023, 11:52:49 AM
The fight ended not as we wanted it seems the referee ruled it a draw because of the cut on Oguni's head the rule is if there's a cut because of the headbut before round 4 it is considered a draw, I noticed that Casimero lost sting on his punches, but he deserves this win because the cut results from punches and not from headbut there's a possibility of a draw but with this fight we have seen that Casimero is easily losing steam he caught Oguni with big punches but failed to bring him down, could be Oguni has a solid chin or Casimero losses in his punches.
I don't think he stands a chance against Inoue if they ever meet.

You've got a point there; it seems the hype around Casimero wasn't matched by his performance, and it's hard to see him matching up against Inoue successfully. It's pretty funny that he jokingly called Inoue his best friend in an interview before the fight.

9 years ago when Bitcoin was not yet known globally, people never thought about if the price would increase and that person is a big example. It was not a mistake IMO because if we are also having Bitcoin at that time, we probably sell them cheaply. Just because of the current of Bitcoin, we could really say that was a big mistake and regrettable event that happened to his life and for sure, he couldn't imagine what he did as well. But it was 9 years ago and all of us have no idea what will happen next, and even now.
696  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Elon Musk keep what he said or not? on: October 11, 2023, 09:42:13 PM
Nobody knows if he will keep his word or not. Besides being a businessman, he is a speculator. This kind of person is very likely to lie in order to reach his personal goals. Don't put faith on him or on any other whale. When you do this, you are expecting Bitcoin to become an hostage of those people, so when it's interesting for them, BTC skyrockets, and when they don't want anymore, BTC crashes. Bitcoin has to be independent and non-manipulable by figures like Musk.
Well, Elon Musk is a very influential person and whatever he has said on any social media platform can influence the mindset of the readers. Maybe we could say that this won't affect the price of Bitcoin but can't deny the fact that the number of followers who have been in the crypto space will also give impact the market trend.

Anyway, we're not sure if he is lying or not but he could do nothing to manipulate the price but for Doge, still he can.

He didn't liked being sandwiched by Theis in the previous play so he took his revenge on the next play. It's a well disguised hit on the nuts and it honestly doesn't look like a "dirty" foul without the replay. Appreciate the refs for sending a strong message as early as preseason and hopefully they apply the same rules to players like Draymond.

He's already a marked man; everyone is aware of his reputation. Even if a player slightly exaggerates contact, the referees will blow the whistle right away. He's familiar with that kind of scrutiny, so he shouldn't keep adding to his bad reputation, as it could potentially come back to haunt him in a significant way one day. I recall back when he was still with Memphis, they used to label Draymond as a dirty player. So, what are they calling Brook now?
698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Oguni - October 12 on: October 11, 2023, 12:44:28 PM
I'm pretty confident I won't miss that one. With plenty of streamers online, there's no issue catching that fight. Casimero taking on a relatively unknown fighter might not be the best matchup, but the fact that it's happening in Japan could set the stage for some serious hype around a potential Inoue vs. Casimero showdown.

They say Casimero should secure a win by KO, so it's a smart move to bet on him for a KO victory.

Unfortunately, there aren't any betting odds available yet for Casimero winning by KO. Right now, it's just the moneyline, and the odds are only at 1.15.
699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 10, 2023, 10:37:12 AM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?


This seems like a deceptive scheme, and it's likely that only individuals lacking in critical judgment would fall for it. The promotion appears to emphasize the potential gains while conveniently overlooking the associated risks. In reality, such offers are typically skewed against your favor. You, as the participant, bear the primary risk, and even if successful, you might only receive a fraction of the winnings, not cool.

My takeaway after watching a recap of the Lakers vs Nets matchup was that Ben Simmons looked really good. He was even attacking the basket. A completely different player from last year. We’ll see how his season goes… Anthony Davis also looked great on both ends. LeBron is still LeBron and Austin Reeves is going to be getting a lot of shots this year…

No doubt, Austin Reeves was a massive surprise! If he hadn't been discovered, he might have remained the Lakers' hidden gem. What's fantastic about the Lakers right now is their arsenal of offensive weapons. Reeves has already proven himself in the playoffs and seems to thrive on the big stage. Plus, with his recent contract signing, I'm sure that will motivate him to take his game to new heights. Also, being part of the USA basketball team in the FIBA World Cup is another experience that could skyrocket his confidence. So, I can only expect him to deliver some outstanding performances this season.

The Lakers' roster is looking exciting, but do you think they have what it takes to secure a championship this year?
