7041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: March 10, 2021, 01:23:48 PM
Analyzing and finding accurate information about who is playing and who is the backup is also important, but we also need to know the strengths and weaknesses of a weak or strong team because most of the weak teams win because we don't really know the players.
and betting without doing anything is useless even if you only rely on luck but you will get more losses than winning if you continue like that.
If we can get a clue about each team, that will help us to decide which team we can select because that team will have a good performance than the other team. Sometimes, we need to know why the team is weak because sometimes the weak team can surprise us, especially if they can change their strategies from time to time. We are supposed to avoid the losses, although losses can come to every gambler without what we can expect. But at least, we can have more chances to win.

if you're talking about about betting brokers then some say using a betting broker is a good idea especially if you are dealing with limits of normal bookmakers. You also get the best odds and manage everything with use of only one account.

Possible issues of having one is they take commission of your winnings and they tend to have quite high minimum bets. Security of funds is also a glaring concern that shouldn't be overlooked.
If you knew a trusty betting broker, you do not have to worry if you want to deal with them. But if it's not, you will risk your money with them and get scam anytime. People tend not to search for the recommended betting brokers and they only follow what their friends suggest without searching for more. So if the betting brokers run away, they can not blame their friends but they will blame themselves. I think the betting brokers charge a high fee for the members, but they will not think much about that because they are winning the game.
Finding a legitimate and a trusted betting broker is somehow hard and especially if you have a huge connection on the gambling industry but once you do and have someone recommend you a trusted especially from a friend makes you more trust him. It isn't uncommon for a broker to be referred by his client's friend and relative. You can't blame them as it isn't easy to find a broker that isn't recommend by the casino.
Regarding the security of funds and fees, you're surely have more security on your funds if you took a recommended broker from the casino but you also have the security of your funds from brokers suggested by your friend as he might know him. Fees can always be negotiated depending on the amount that you'd like to gamble and mostly a percentage or a rate that has some room for negotiation.
Yeah, that is hard and needs time before we can get a legitimate and a trusted betting broker that we can use to gamble. If our friend can be trusted, we can follow their way to bet on the same website, but if we are not close to them, we need to search for more information to know that site is good enough for us.

I do not want to use too big money to gamble as the situation now is different. I prefer to save my bitcoin and sell it later when the price rises.

if my friend recomend it to me i will trust it because my friends are honest to me and they recomend it because they already use the service .
if not with my friends i can look for a recomendation in bitcointalk because i trust a few memebers in here .
 betting brokers are not fixed match service that they can surely win your bets but their specialty is to lift your limits and the charges will be depending on how high the restriction and on what will be the amount of your bets .
It will no problem if they give a recommended betting broker to us to use it like them. Some betting brokers have their limits and they will use charges, and maybe for some gamblers, the fee is too high, but not for other gamblers. So that will depend on us if we want to use that betting broker.

That's true, success stories are shared much than the losing history. Whether we are into gambling or we try to follow any of the gambler, it is our responsibility to have prior plans as well as set our limits. The same luck of the one who has succeeded out of gambling won't be with us, so we are supposed to have our own strategies and tricks to increase the winning probabilities. Moreover the right exit strategy could get you small profit.
You can only set your limits if you have a discipline though, addicts tend to not be able to control their urges to do the things that they are addicted. Yes you are right that we won't have the same luck as anyone but I don't think that strategies won't work in a game of chances, dice will land wherever it wants to land, no matter how good you are with tossing the dice, you won't be able to control the outcome once it is out of your hands.
I am following what you wrote. Having a strong discipline and the ability to control ourselves will be the things that every gambler must have before playing gambling. No matter how good your strategy, if you do not have those two things, I am afraid that you will end up losing your money. So before you use too much money to play gambling, you need to reflect yourself, is that money really worth being used for playing gambling, or just need to use a small amount of money to playing gambling.

makes a lot of sense with this possibility...
create stricter rules with the aim of getting more money from the results of the negotiations. Well, it looks like the lawmakers will live as corrupt as long as possible.
When it comes ti sponsorship, its quite hard to control who will be able to get the priviledged who will get the sponsorship. Sometimes in may countrythe official or governments said to be there are the one who sponsor the events but in fact it can be came from the gambling activities, its hard to control whenmoneyinvolved and when some officials are covering them.
Both of you are right, especially with the internet available in many places, that sponsorship can continue without any regulators or government knows. They can make an agreement in below of hands without anyone know. Even without the internet, the corrupt official can handshake with the other people without the government know. But if the government seriously eradicates or reduces the corrupt, they can contact the club owner and the shirt sponsorships to discuss more the agreement.
7046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: March 09, 2021, 10:19:49 AM
@OP, I won't call myself as professional but yeah, there was a phase of my life that I remember when I used to live my life (mine alone and not the family) on gambling. Gambling was a love to me because of the fact that I used to learn the games and their required rules as well as basic skills quickly and loved to play different sort of games each day to try out something new. Now are not the same days as I'm married and I couldn't do it the same old way I did (as I was independent as well as alone, so no pressure was on me to do anything for my family or home, but now things have changed a lot).
I agree with you. When someone married, he needs to think about his family, not just for himself. He needs to have responsibility for the things that a person wants to do because, indirectly, that will always be related to his family. And if he has a habit of playing gambling, he needs to realize that the money will be too important for his family than just playing gambling. Everything will change, and that will not be the same as the old days since now we have other people who will always walk behind us in any circumstances, and we need to take care of them.
7047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does knowing your sport and teams really make you better at betting on them? on: March 09, 2021, 09:45:49 AM
If you're just blindly betting on a sport you know nothing about then of course you're going to do much worse. However, if you don't know much about a sport then you can just go by what the odds are telling you is favored to win and you should do reasonably well.
Definitely those who place sport bet without vividly knowing the team involved are blind bettors, they have no single chances of these games becasue they aren't aware about the team strengths against the opponent. Most of my bet are done on the ground that am conversant with the team and their play positions before make bet on them.
I agree that before betting you need to know every step of the game and use your experience to connect with each other and try to win. Blind betting always brings loss it is not possible to develop oneself here and it becomes very difficult to win depending on your luck you have to research everything before betting and then participate in the game.
If we can know which team has a big chance to win, we can use the right strategy to help us get the win. But we must remember that choosing a strong team can not guarantee us to win because the weak team can change their strategies in the middle of the play, which means we need to analyze deeper to find out about that. But sometimes, blind betting can give us lucky to win the games as we only choose random teams, and we do not have much info about them. That will be lucky to us Grin
7048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When is the right time to gamble on football. on: March 09, 2021, 06:47:50 AM
I am not really into football but for me the right time to bet is when My favorite team goes to play and the opponent is one of the weakest team.

I rather choose to bet in more assured chances than those high performing opponent .
That will be a good choice to know when the right time to gamble as your favorite team will play with the opponent. But if your favorite team does not have a chance to win, maybe you can select the opponent because your chance to win will be bigger than if you choose your favorite team. But before you choose the team, it will be recommended if you always search for more info to find out which team will have a bigger chance to win.

Hey everyone!

In this week's Crypto Gambling Weekly we show you:

- How you can get triple winnings on Israel Adesanya at UFC 259
- How you can win a share of $30k
- Three weekend bets to keep an eye on
- A sneaky way to get an edge on your Premier League soccer bets

If you're interested, feel free to take a look - https://bitedge.com/blog/crypto-betting-weekly-5-march-2021/
That is very tempted offers for us to get the way to winning the gambling games. That can attract people to follow your suggestion, but I remind them to be careful as to win in sports betting is not easy, and you should not use big money to bet.

Hmm, I am curious about winning a share of $30k because that is big money for people who can lead them to try to bet on that sports.
7050  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto trading signal work or not? on: March 09, 2021, 06:07:42 AM
I think that those who sell signals, why do they do it? If I am successful with my trades, why sell? Perhaps with the sale you get more than what you earn doing the trades?

One day they put me in telegram and I was careful about their signals, I saw that they only rely on technical analysis to give the signals, does this give security? I think no, most of the time these sign sites or groups end badly. I do not recommend it, the best thing is to study, look for books and learn.
I think that is because they want to make more money by providing the signal to many people, so they decide to offer the signals to people but need to pay for the services. If that is because of the money, and if that is related to money, people can be greedy to make more money. People need to be careful with that services because the signals can not always work, making you lose your money.
7051  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Harmony ONE can go to 1$ on: March 09, 2021, 05:28:30 AM
TBH, it's quite high as for now because harmony just made a new ATH yesterday. But it can make new ATH in the upcoming days as they recently updated their roadmap where we can see major updates are going to be done. If that's done within the timeframe, than harmony might hit $1 or more in the long run. Right now, we can focus for next ATH around $0.10 or more and as always , DYOR first.
It could happen if the big pump comes to that coin and make the price rise so high. But before that comes, we are hard to see Harmony hit $1 or more in a short time. The only hope for the low price coin to increase is getting a pump from many traders interested in the coin and buying at any price. If that can happens, the price will increase and break every big wall of the order buy. So @OP needs to prepare himself because the pump can come anytime without us knows.
ATH harmony is $ 0.04 if this coin goes past $ 0.2 it is likely that the pump will continue but will it happen in such a short time as we would like?

But the future harmony potential is quite good if they carry out the development according to what is seen in the road map then it is possible that the pumping will continue, but that is also how the market conditions are good so there can be another pumping but when it is bearish it will be more difficult normally. altcoins are not looking and are more fundamental in their decline.
I am not sure if the pump will continue as we expect, but who knows.

If the team is still working hard for their project and reach every phase on their schedule, that can give a chance for the coin/token increase in the short term because people will see that the project has an opportunity to grow in the future. But that will depend on how bitcoin price moves later, and if bitcoin can not increase, I think that can make the coin price hard to grow in the short term.
7052  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People die from heart attack when they hit the jackpot. on: March 09, 2021, 05:12:58 AM
You can say that but if our destiny is to die because of winning the jackpot, we can not do anything. People can die in any situation without us knowing how long our life, so I think it is not surprising if that person dies because of getting a heart attack.

You can try to be fit, but you should remember, dead will take our life without knowing we are fit or not. The only one that we can do is trying to healthy.
I guess that means you believe in predestination. I don't. Our life is not written when we're born, there's no higher power pulling the strings, there's no fate.
If you die of a heart attack after winning, it means you had a weak heart that you did not take care of. You should work out, eat healthy and if it's already too late for that, medicate and visit a cardiologist once a year. That person who dies killed by a train is not predestined to die but not careful enough.
I believe that our life is written when we're born. We can only do our life with the best thing that we can, even if we make a mistake already written in that book.

Many ways that we can do to have a strong heart which can help us to have a healthy life. I agree that eat healthy food and doing a good thing can give us a healthy life too. But when we die because of a heart attack, no one will know for sure, not because of anything. Sometimes we hear about a person who has a healthy life, but he dies suddenly without any cause.
7053  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin after the pandemic on: March 08, 2021, 02:40:03 PM
Is bitcoin good at the moment? I think that's right, after the pandemic perhaps many people, or countries, will re-raise the issue of the importance of bitcoin to the economy. The pandemic is rebuilding for a better future, all the dread is over, and I think we are heading to the era of technology.
Yes, bitcoin is good because, at least, we can still earn money from bitcoin in many ways. When people do not have a job, they will search for other jobs to give them money to survive. Bitcoin gives them hope to make money, especially if they want to get involved in the bitcoin world. Maybe they need the courage to use bitcoin, so they will know how bitcoin can give benefits to them. When the pandemic is ended, they will have money and they can still survive.
7054  Economy / Economics / Re: Big test for Bitcoin during the next Economic Collapse. on: March 08, 2021, 01:53:48 PM
I am starting to believe that Satoshi created Bitcoin for what’s coming next, or might come next. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I’m not sure about the rest of the countries, but the United Stated Federal Reserve prrrrinted inordinate amounts of U.S. Dollars to stimulate the economy, with plans to print trillions more under President Biden. All the prrrrinting and a falling GDP MIGHT be the seeds for the worst situation of an Economic Crisis. HYPERINFLATION.

Bitcoin has been criticized as a medium “for speculation”. Big test. Is it just merely “for speculation”, or an actual “safe haven”? Will Bitcoin crash together with the rest of the economy, or will everyone run to it as a Store of Value?

We had big test in March last year when covid crash happened. Bitcoin went from $9000 to $5000 in a week. So value of Bitcoin almost halved. At same time Gold went from $1680 to $1480. So a 12% drop. This is huge difference. And it matters a lot to people that want to hedge against economic crashes. It i s much better to lose 12% then 45%


You’re merely talking about volatility. If that’s your main concern, then as a hedge, place a smaller portion of your capital in Bitcoin, and a larger portion in Gold. BUT, here’s the real risk of Gold as a true hedge, who controls the vaults? Not your vault, not your Gold. Cool


It is better to have the same portion in bitcoin and gold Grin


As a personal choice, I believe it’s definitely better to, as a hedge, place 100% in Bitcoin, and zoom out. Bitcoin is censorship-resistant, self-sovereign, easy to store, and can’t be confiscated from you. How can you store a substantial amount of Gold without trusting a third party? A big vault on your house? How will you spend it? Carry a heavy bag and a weighing scale?
That will be my secret to store my gold if I do not want to store it in the bank or the other third party. I am sure I will figure out how I can use that gold to buy something. I do not have to carry a heavy bag because there will be some ways that I can use to sell the gold.

But that will be no problem if you want to place 100% in bitcoin to store your money.

I don't believe its destiny since that situation is avoidable provably those bettors who win big pot money are neglect to have a healthy life style that's why when they win they suddenly got an heart attack and unfortunately die.

We need to be fit not for just gambling but for other activities so when those lucky moments come we and our family enjoy it for long vacation.
You can say that but if our destiny is to die because of winning the jackpot, we can not do anything. People can die in any situation without us knowing how long our life, so I think it is not surprising if that person dies because of getting a heart attack.

You can try to be fit, but you should remember, dead will take our life without knowing we are fit or not. The only one that we can do is trying to healthy.

Controlling our emotions can be really hard especially when you win a jackpot that can change your life in a a positive manner, and this is even more true when we gamble, many people like to gamble to get some excitement so to limit your excitement under those circumstances will not be easy for them at all, but it still needs to be done, after all it is a waste of good luck, you were lucky enough to win a big jackpot and then it is wasted by getting incredibly unlucky during the very next minutes.
It needs time for us to control our emotions because that is not easy to do. Many people fail to control their emotions and make them lose something in their life. So when we can win the jackpot, we can control the emotions that become bigger, and we can stay calm when we receive the money. We can enjoy the money, and we can be still healthy with people who celebrate our winning. But if it's not, we can get a heart attack like that person.

Good news! I got my withdraw! But still, be careful!
In any gambling site, you should be careful, and if you do not want to see a big loss or getting scam by the site, you must not use too big money because that is a way to prevent scam sites. Good if you already got your withdrawal, so next time, you should not use bigger funds to gamble. Gambling is a way to enjoy the games and spend our time, so that will not necessary to use bigger funds.

Even reputable gambling sites also offer a deposit bonus and 50% is already a good amount. However, that could be a reason enough for us to be extra skeptical and keen before depositing. It's still important to do a background check and feedback about the site first so we'll never have regrets.
Checking on the site and reading the feedback from the members will help us get more information about the site. We can feel safe if we know that the site is good enough to play gambling because the site will know trying to scam us. But you should know that playing gambling still dangerous if you do not be careful to take care of your money. So no matter what gambling games you play, you must know when to stop gambling.

If their signals made you some profits then you are in the right group but in my opinion, this is just a pump and dump group that will make a fool of anyone who joins their group, also worth mentioning that these groups are pay to join which is fishy at best.
It will not be easy to follow their signals as what I know, the pump and dump will happen without we can detect unless they tell the right time. Even if you can follow their signals, you will hard to buy, hold, and sell at the right time because that means you need to watch the market closely and have a target price to sell. Without having that, I am afraid that you can buy at a high price and make you in the trap at the market. So I hope he can be careful if he joins in the signal trading groups.

7059  Other / Off-topic / Re: Corruption and Sports on: March 07, 2021, 09:56:10 AM
Well generally they say that they will eliminate corruption but mostly in the government but not in sports.
I think sports corruption in your country is sever since it's been discussed in the election campaign and one of the things to consider solving.
Well corruption is everywhere and no surprise that even in sports there's a corruption.

The fact that removing corruption from sports is an election issue means the country takes the spirit and goal of sports seriously, which many countries doesn't have such system. I guess, these are real issues, sports, development, income, education, on which a country should look into. Corruption is indeed everywhere but so does its remedy. Just rising the pay check of the sportsmen can reduce such corruption to a lot of level.
It is hard to removing corruption which already rooted in the country, and that needs time to have a clean government and in many aspects. We can not deny that corruption will continue to happen in that aspect, but we have a chance to limit their access by having clean officers. Rising the sportsmen's paycheck can be a solution, but do not forget that even if they have a high paycheck, that will not guarantee they will not corrupt because that will be related to the sportsmen and other people mentality.
7060  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: March 07, 2021, 07:03:09 AM
Gambling is a profession, I know.  But this job is not long, and it cannot sustain you for life.  Consistency needs training, but is it possible to deny the threshold of ambition?  Very few people have success with gambling in both calculation and luck.  So, entertain and stop at the right time.  Gamblers are often rooted in nature. Grin
There are always both sides of the story. We know that it cannot sustain for life but you should ask someone who's been gambling all of his life and remains to be a gambler up to this time. There are ways that they can sustain their lives and if it's already their life, they can make a living from it and won't just give up when they lose. As you said, there are few people that are successful in making it a living so if they are, they are sustaining their lives through it.
They can only sustain if they themselves are making money in gambling.

No one can last long in gambling if he is risking a decent amount and not making money at all since the reality will bite us which is we lose in the long run, good thing for some people this is not a threat to them as in the long run they become more consistent and they are making money.
Even if we say that no one can last long in gambling, many people still play gambling and hope to make money from gambling. No matter how much money they already lose and will lose, they will come back and play the other gambling games. If they can not realize that, sooner or later, they can become addicted to gambling, and once they addicted to gambling, it is hard to stop their habit and solve the problem.

Gambling really attempts to attract and seduce people to come back over and over. And that will depend on how strong that person to stop gambling and not thinking gambling as a source of income.

The word "if" is a difference making, few will last because they are profitable, and that's the real definition of gamblers making a living or they call themselves professional but some are really professional but they are hiding their real identity, for them winning is what matters, they don't need to brag their success.
Yes, I am sure the pro gamblers do not want to be known as pro gamblers as they want to enjoy their normal lives as human beings like other people. They will consider that what they did in gambling is their secret and not spread to many people. Only a few people around them will know for sure about that, and those people will not tell other people about his secret.
