701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 07, 2023, 03:31:33 PM
We don't know yet our future if we can still reach in 50+ ages or not but For me if I have given a chance to get older then for sure I will still gamble for fun. Actually here in my country like what other said there are many old people still gamble not just because they are addict but they will still gamble because they will feel happiness when they are in a world of gambling .

Even at 50+ one can still find gambling to be more interesting to play, but when you begin to reach age 70+ i don't think there's anything fun in gambling as you would have gotten while you're still younger, when we get to certain age limit, we will by ourselves adjust without anyone to tell us what to do, gambling is for fun, but when we are old enough then it will be our joy in seing the younger generations and our grandchildren playing it than we doing it ourselves, that is why we just have to enjoy it all while it last and we are still young in age.
The love of gambling makes someone play even though they are old already and retiring. As long as they still see gambling as their pastime, they will go and play just like in the old days when they were young and strong. Of course, with their age, they still have the chance to win but I don't think they are in after with that because what is in their mind is to enjoy their life while still alive.
If my father is a gambler and is still playing now, I don't stop him either but to let him go with what he wants.
702  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ban from a Casino for Nothing Other Than Winning Too Much Money on: October 07, 2023, 01:45:42 PM
I feel it's more about the casinos that issued this bans... Maybe they don't wanna be a victim of bankruptcy just by a single stake.. anyone can decide what they want for their establishments.
You see, alot of strategies to bypass 'em casino's systematic manipulation has surfed the internet and, anyone would wanna try them on different casinos to see Which one cuts,..that exactly might be the problem at this point.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰
- cheating is the reason they will say if asking them.

But the truth is that they don't want to see someone get this winning streak because if they still let this person win, that will drain their income, and banning a gambler could be their last option. To say it was too unfair, yes it is but we can't stop the casino operators from doing that. We could say that these casino operators have no way to give a gambler a chance to win but instead, they love us to keep losing.

703  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 07, 2023, 01:06:25 PM
Setting win limits is a very important task among gamblers. Some gamblers continue their gambling activities even after receiving more winnings or bigger wins.
In as much as gambling is concerns we shouldn't place all our focus on gambling, or using all our money on gambling with the hope that it will work for us and perhaps if it eventually fails it becomes a setback for us, but perhaps having a job could also help our mindset in times of gambling were as all the attentions will not be channel only on gambling but for other things too, also with that someone can easily control his method of gambling or perhaps just like you said it will also be good if we should set a target of wining or losing that whenever you losses or wings a certain amount you should call it a day instead of betting beyond that.
That’s how responsible gamblers should be. But unfortunately, when people are already winning, they also increase their winning expectations and continue to gamble all in. Until they realized that their profits are slowly coming back to the casino until they used up everything they have. Setting win limits is actually crucial, as every responsible gambler has its certain goal to achieve, and once it’s already happening, then that’s the time to stop gambling and go home and never get carried away with the urge to gamble more.
I think this effect of winning actually happens to every gambler and it only takes a well principled mind to avoid this effect. I have also encountered this effect before and the most annoying part is that you can even set a target for your withdrawal but that will actually depend on the way the winning actually comes because money and winning actually have a spirit that controls the gambler to want more winning and if you are not careful you will end up losing everything to this effect.
It is a mindset that wants to take control of our minds. And the more we think about winning, the more we lose control of ourselves, and the more lose money. In the end, we are the ones who suffer the consequences. If we are into gambling, we must know our limits and must know when to stop. If we lose today, it means that we are not lucky, and accept the fact that gambling does not come all in winning, sometimes we even lose more because the thing that comes out in our mind is to stop when we win until we lose everything.
704  Economy / Speculation / Re: September didn't follow its bear cycle on: October 07, 2023, 10:50:26 AM
After all, we can't expect either to see the market keep on bearing when there is a change in market demand. If we see that the month of August is in bearish condition, we can never expect this will happen the next month. Absolutely, it all depends on the situation and September is quite moving high a little as people are taking advantage of the situation. A sudden increase in buying demand will result to a price increase and that is what we experience. And also, this October, neither we experienced the same as in September - that is what we called market volatility.
705  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 07, 2023, 06:52:55 AM
@Baofeng, I didn't know that. I thought Embiid was all-American.

I did some quick research, and it seems like he has a few nationalities to choose from:

-American
-French
-Cameroonian

Well, he's got the freedom to choose which country he wants to play for, but I get why some folks might be disappointed. I mean, the USA already has an abundance of talent, and Embiid could have been a real asset if he chose to play for France.
I learned Embiid was from Cameroon when Paskal Siakam kicked him and I think that's one of the popular technical fouls that was called in the NBA. Embiid didn't even try to fight him and the commentator said they are both from Cameroon, that is why.
But this is the first time I discovered that he is also French.

Anyway, here is CBS projection of Team USA roster that will be going to Paris Olympics.
Stephen Curry
Kevin Durant
Devin Booker
Bradley Beal
LeBron James
Anthony Davis
Kawhi Leonard
Paul George
Jayson Tatum
Jaylen Brown
Bam Adebayo
Draymond Green
and more...
https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/2024-paris-olympics-projecting-team-usas-12-man-roster-with-joel-embiid-joining-lebron-james-stephen-curry/
Those are the players who committed they will play if asked or it's open. This is going to be a superstar roster that will be difficult to defeat. I don't actually like it because I want the Olympics to be more of a competitive event but I think this will boost other countries will to defeat them. We'll see.


With this lineup, it feels like the gold is pretty much assured. They can't afford to make the same mistake of underestimating other countries, especially after not even qualifying for the gold medal round in the FIBA World Cup. No more excuses; they need to correct that mistake and win at the Olympics.

Now, as for the betting odds, I'm also curious. I think they should be around 1.10 or even lower because this lineup seems unbeatable.
706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: October 07, 2023, 06:19:52 AM
The only issue is his shooting, but given the importance of defense, I think he's been a tremendous help for our success.

Yeah, that was pretty obvious, but we have to cut him some slack. I heard he was coming back from an injury, so maybe he was just getting back into his groove. But let's give credit where it's due – he was seriously impressive at the free-throw line. I can't even remember him missing a free throw in the finals.

Even during the game against China, if they hadn't substituted Fajardo with Kouame, China might have exploited Fajardo's slower defense. Kouame's presence made it tough for China to penetrate the paint, as our defense was ready to challenge them. Instead, they often had to resort to outside shots, which put them under a lot of pressure, especially with our quick guards closing out on them. That led to lower shooting percentages for them.
707  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you the spot/Future Trader Then this is the best tool for you. on: October 07, 2023, 05:24:19 AM
Hi everyone i am sharing the best upcoming project for the Traders where you can do spot trading , future trading with 125x leverage the name is 0xfutures.trade isn't it amazing.
No other project offers this much leverage and there is not restrictions for leverage also traders can do spot trading with limit orders.
and best part is everything will be automatically confused? They have a telegram bot where you have to provide the parameters for spot trading and future trading else their bot take care for your trading and i am sure easily maximize my profits. I am a full time traders and looking for this tool now I finally found one what's your opinion?
Website link are below: https://0xfutures.trade/


What will be the reason why traders would have to trust the site? Because I will tell you that people never just only look for the possible earning and offering high leverage but they/we are looking for a platform that can be fully trusted. Many get fooled by such offerings, now it is an old tactic that most traders already know and are aware of what will happen next. If you and the site will lower the leverage amount, maybe that will gain attention and confidence but with that 125x, that could be the reason why they will stay away.
708  Economy / Speculation / Re: Even Seasoned Analysts Can Get it Wrong on: October 06, 2023, 10:55:56 PM
...

So this is a great reminder to us investors to not just believe anything that a person, no matter how popular or knowledgeable they are, stated without doing any researches to verify their statement.  After all it was out money that is on line.
That is why we make decisions based on what we understand about the market situation, not these influencers or being called market experts because they still never know what gonna happen next. What they did is just pure speculation and none has been right, can be close but not really get the exact price. Indeed, performing research is advisable and we can do the same (speculate). The more we got into analyzing the market personally, the more we understood about the volatility of the market.
709  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading purely based on luck. on: October 06, 2023, 10:13:09 PM
I tried to trade without any analysis, relying only on luck, I was flipping a coin for each trade I entered.
During a three day period, I initiated three trades per day, each with a small profit target and a stop-loss order. Surprisingly, these results outperformed the trades I made based on speculation and trend analysis.
it is important to note that the long term outcome remains uncertain.
I considered this experiment a success mainly due to the fact that I was trading on a demo account with no emotional involvement, and the trades automatically closed when they reached their stop loss levels, and I did not make impulsive decisions to alter the stop loss orders.
In real trading scenarios, emotional factors, such as adjusting stop-loss levels and increasing leverage, often lead to losses.
What you did will simply tell us that having into a trade without any market analysis will end up getting lucky or not, and the chances in very slim. Considering the volatile nature of the market, you can't simply put your trade on the way, or else, you're making this for a loss.
That experiment will show something that every trader has different outcomes even though they are using the same strategy and this is because we all have different market approaches, understanding, and emotions.

It looks like the Philadelphia 76ers have finally caved to Harden’s pressure and will be shipping him to the Clippers. The Clippers are said to be doing everything in their power to make it happen. After all the offseason drama it seems like Harden is going to end up getting what he wants, while Dame didn’t get the trade he wanted, but might get himself a ring.

The latest rumor I've seen is that the Clippers offered the 76ers an unprotected first-round pick and a swap pick. But the 76ers want more and seem to be interested in Terance Mann. So, I think if the Clippers offer Mann and at least one first-round draft pick, the 76ers will probably take it and send Harden to LA. It's time for this drama to end.
I get it that they want as many key players available since PG and Kahwi are often injured but adding Harden would make the team out of balance. I cannot imagine these four guys all healthy and playing on the court at the same time. This doesn't look good on the Clipper side unless they can replace Mann but they probably know better so let's wait

Let them figure out what they will do later. Right now, they need to focus on improving their lineup. Obviously, with James Harden also being a superstar, this should result in an improvement in the team's performance. If they continue to struggle after acquiring James Harden, I believe the problem runs deeper, and it might be time for the Clippers to consider a coaching change.
711  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is a 20% Annual Return good ? on: October 06, 2023, 12:12:18 PM
With my experience in the cryptocurrency market, I decided to develop a short-term Bitcoin spot trading strategy using the TradingView platform and its strategy programming tool. I managed to create a strategy that yields an average annual return of 20% according to backtesting. My question is, is this return acceptable, or in your opinion, what would be an acceptable or good return?
Well, for me, that was big enough. If that strategy assures such a return, you can really be making rich in trading, and that is absolutely what people are looking for. But the question is if that will happen in real life. It might be working in your backtesting but was not sure it would work in real trade and you probably know why, it is because of emotional dealing and decision-making. These are some factors that cause a different result, until then, at least earning a 10% return is already satisfying.

Hey, thanks for the heads-up, buddy. That poster looks pretty slick, right? Brownlee looks all calm, while RHJ's wearing his heart on his sleeve. You know, we always prefer a cool and collected Brownlee; he's a beast that way.

Some folks are saying it was a lucky comeback, but honestly, who cares? What really matters is that we came out on top and showed the world our basketball brand still kicks it. I'm stoked to catch the game. And no worries about the streams; our Facebook vloggers are already gearing up for this massive event in our basketball fan lives
713  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I invest in new projects. on: October 05, 2023, 10:05:36 PM
the risk is very big and the profit you can get can also be a lot if the project is successful, but of course at this time I don't really recommend you to investing in new projects, because market conditions are very bad, so instead of investing in new projects, it's better for you to invest in projects that are already popular (BTC, ETH, BNB and XRP), because it's safer and will definitely give you a profit when the bull run comes.
Honestly, there is no wrong about investing in new projects as long as it has a use case but yes, the risk is too high compared to those old projects that have already been established well. In fact, we're giving some room for these new projects but I'm suggesting spending just a small amount and never holding it for long because many new projects are just good in their early days but they change and start to decline after a while. In the end, a better choice seems to be a working idea especially if we plan for long-term investment.
714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Hardwork pays not luck! on: October 05, 2023, 09:43:32 PM
I am a person who never won any lottery but when dedicated to working on something, I get an ample amount of money. In 2018 when I started working as a Bounty hunter(as the secondary job of course), After two three years I came to know how much money I had earned which I would not have earned doing an office job for 10 years. Here the game turned. Seeing so much money in my hand, suddenly I saw everywhere when traders were earning thousands of dollars doing cryptocurrency trading. It was like the grass is always green on the other side. As mentioned earlier, due to overconfidence and not following risk management, lost some portion of the money that I earned through bounties. Now I have realized that I must work hard and that too with dedication, then only I can have a good earning status. Just to iterate, working as a bounty hunter or trading in cryptocurrency was never my primary source. Still, I am working in a tech company and getting monthly salaries.
I have no question that many bounty hunters got a lot of money in the previous years as I experienced as well (that was 5-6 years ago). But now, I'm not sure still be like that knowing that most of the bounties these days turn to scams and receiving shitcoins as rewards. Joining them could be an earning opportunity but if you think that they are reliable enough, I doubt it.
Well, good job you didn't quit your job because some did it as they are now full-time in crypto trading and some succeeded while the others are in regrets.

Time flies so fast that this Casimero vs Oguni would be happening next week but have not seen odds yet for this fight, hopefully they would cover this early.

There's no betting odds yet on sportsbooks, however, I've seen a website that could give us an idea about the possible betting odds of the fight.

https://champinon.info/schedule/casimero-vs-oguni/#iw-modal

Latest Odds
FavoriteCasimero to win: 1/2
UnderdogOguni to win: 2/1

As we can see, Casimero is a slight favorite with 1.50 odds if converted on decimal, I think it's already worth taking.
716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: October 05, 2023, 01:07:17 PM

They had an impressive win, coming back from a 20-point deficit is hard, but Gilas made it and won by a single point. Brownlee is still the key to Gilas' success tomorrow evening. Jordan, although very confident as they are undefeated, should be a bit worried since China was ranked top 1, yet Gilas defeated them.

With the Philippines at 3.30 odds, that's a good deal already, like getting more than a 50% discount. Betting $100 would win you $230, a good deal indeed.
Not trying to become negative but it’s better to bet on handicap instead of ML just to make sure since the performance yesterday is not happening in regular basis. Brownlee shooting skills is not typically like that so we need that kind of luck in able to beat Jordan which has taller and stronger player naturally due to their genes.

I really hope that PH manage to win tomorrow but that 3.3 odds speak to itself on how PH players has disadvantage in terms of stats. We need more of Brownlee accurate shots to win this game, double than what he shows on China. Betting +10.5 to PH is a safe bet with still good odds imho.

Brownlee makes things possible; when he's hot, his shooting is very accurate. Maybe Jordan will put more pressure on him, but mate, don't forget that this is a championship match. Personally, I wouldn't bother looking at the handicap anymore; I'd just like to bet on the Philippines to win. So, I would go for the Moneyline as well.
717  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: October 04, 2023, 09:59:29 PM
An academic pursuit sure increases ones ability to earn and broadens their thinking scope to explore other options beyond ones boundaries.
You know academic pursuit could even be on the subject of expansion of ones knowledge on BTC and the cryptocurrencies market or based on cyber security for all things relating to decentralized wallets or systems for those who need to be secure from hackers.
It is way better to pursue academy qualifications in an area where one is more passionate about than in other areas because people are doing so or as directed by anyone who's someone to us.
Perhaps, if we are seeking a better job, this was a way to get a higher position and salary. Sometimes I would say that without a better education background, companies will never let you in and work with them. In fact, even in our country, they consider this academic performance as a metric to get a spot with them. It is something that urges us to go to school and enroll in known universities to gain a huge opportunity to have a job after graduation.
Well, we can say now that education is a huge asset which makes those people who can't afford to send their kids to school become hopeless and choose to live the life that they have now.
718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 04, 2023, 03:00:23 PM
Yes, I think the Warriors can adjust without Draymond in the early part of the next season, they have recently acquired Dario Saric. So this is a big test for him to somewhat be in the position that Draymond used.

As for Kuminga, him and Andrew Wiggins should take part of the PF to SF position. Either can have a night wherein they are going to be the biggest contributor in Warriors offense. And Kuminga is very athletic indeed that's why the Warriors chooses to still be in team as he can improved a lot and not just like Poole who complains a lot and seems the be the fame gets into his head last season.

Draymond Green improves ball movement on the court, so not having him early in the season might not give them a good start as expected. The good news is that they have CP3, who is known for his playmaking; he can certainly fill the loss of Draymond. With new players who have helped improve their interior defense, I think the Warriors will be okay.
719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte (December 2) on: October 04, 2023, 01:57:55 PM
So I kind of agree with the odds although I was also expecting something like 1.22 for Kingry earlier.

Most likely, the odds will be like that, probably not higher than 1.30.

Ryan Garcia is trying to redeem himself after a devastating loss to Tank. With a decent opponent, I'm sure he will be tested to see if he is really back in boxing. He isn't undefeated anymore, but his one loss could be the best learning experience for him. Who knows, he might have a rematch with Tank Davis in the future. For now, he has to focus on coming back strong.
720  Economy / Speculation / Re: Does bitcoin price increase after halving? on: October 03, 2023, 11:30:54 AM
Halving events have frequently been associated with increase in price of bitcoin with significant upward momentum both before and after halving. Bitcoin halving often generate increased market attention and hype. Expectation of lower supply and likely price increase may fuel positive feelings amongst investors and traders.
Well I can boldly tell you that no one actually knows the correct answer to that question and answers you will get are speculation on stats gather from previous halving event which if you ask can be close to the desired answer. The halving period comes with so many drama and so many investor are currently waiting for the halving to come and go and to see if there is actually going to be a significant rise to the price.
If you already experienced the previous halving, you will know that there is a sudden change in its price trend and it is incredibly increasing. There is no drama to see other than people are expecting bullish after halving.
Investors are holding and are excited for the next halving because they believe that they could see Bullrun and ATH. Experienced investors and traders already know and have that kind of insight because that is what happened in the past, and this will happen again and again.
