741  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 07, 2023, 12:55:54 PM
I wouldn't say "addict" because it didn't take that long, in order for me to consider someone an addict I need to see that person gambling for a very long period of time without being able to stop, so I wasn't an addict because it didn't take that long.

However, I did acted like an addict and couldn't stop for a short period of time, it was like just 3 months of my life, and I did lost some money there too, wish I didn't had that period but at least it was a smaller amount compared to past and it wasn't something that changed my life, and I was capable of stopping quite easily at the end, took me only 3 months to have something like that and I would say when you gamble for 3 months, unless you bet your house and lose, that doesn't feel like a big deal at all. I think it's clear that we are not going to end up with a huge loss that quickly neither. I learned my lesson from those days and I have not done the same thing ever again, which was really helpful.
742  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips to Follow traders/scalpers (who use Stop Loss) on: November 07, 2023, 04:24:50 AM
Signal providers who uses stop loss are still signal providers, and yes using stop loss is better and it's good idea to follow those then the ones who doesn't use it, but that's like comparing shit with shittier, I do not think that it would make sense. It would be smarter to arrange something that would be better, and for that to happen we are talking about something that could make a lot less sense.

I believe that the best thing to do at this case would be just let the personal trading that you do take care of it and you could use stop loss on them and you will get better results. I understand that life is not simple and you may not have the time, but you need to spend some time learning how to trade, and use stop loss while you are doing it.
743  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you guys believe in other people luck and try to copy them? on: November 06, 2023, 05:14:06 PM
Not really, just because I saw someone else make a good profit at some game doesn't mean that I will be making the same thing neither, I think it's clear that we are not going to end up with a result that would change anything.

I think it is clear that we are going to end up with a resolution that should be a bit more personalized and if you think that just because someone gambled at slot in a certain way and won which could mean that you could play the same way and win, that is just fooling yourself. Even that person can't repeat the same luck twice, because it's just pure luck and nothing more and we shouldn't really have any type of addiction towards it. Ignore what others do, and look at the math that the game is giving you.
744  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Pro-trend or Counter-trend? on: November 06, 2023, 04:49:03 PM
This depends on what the trend is. If it is a trend that is getting lower, then I would like to buy more, I will definitely end up buying more and the result will be better for me too, I like it because it means that I get to do something that will make sense, it will profit me a lot. I understand that we are not going to end up with anything that would be risky, it will not be all that simple, and we should be considering that as important as it could get.

I am not really in support of it, and I get that we may not see something changing. Hopefully, it will not be all that quick, and opposite is possible. If the trend is going up, in that case I become pro trend instead and start to consider it going higher and higher, and I will continue to buy and hope that it will go up even more. Basically in bot h cases, when it goes down and when it goes up, I buy either way, and that is why sometimes I am pro trend and sometimes I am counter trend.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction on: November 06, 2023, 03:56:46 PM
Honestly, we do not expect other business models to handle all these, like mcdonalds dealing with diabetes? Or obesity? I do not see them do that at all, or cigarettes are the ones that find cure for lung cancer? Not really. Whatever the cause is, the company doesn't pressure you into using them, you are the one that does it and you should be aware of what your free will brings you with and should be something that matters. I understand that it is not going to end up being all that easy, and could be considered a little different.

I think it should be not all that weird if you end up with a situation that can't be considered easy to handle, we need to handle something that needs to be a lot more important for casinos, which is trying to convince more and more people to be addicts to be fair. I get that it feels like they shouldn't, but that's just how the reality works, they do want you to be addicts and they want you to lose your money to their business as well.
746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: November 05, 2023, 06:53:41 PM
Lakers lost in dramatic fashion, nearly 20 point difference. They really need other players to step up, Lebron and AD alone can't do that much, Austin tried a bit this time around but that didn't really worked out that well for him neither considering they still lost. Inefficiency of the players when Lebron is not around could be their biggest problem, when he is on the floor, even if he doesn't play that well (although he plays well) at least he gets the defenders on him, 35 points just last game, 24 here, and I think the point is that when defenders are on him, others have easier shot selection.

But when he is not around, everyone plays terrible, because they are not aware of what they should do, and end up shooting contested terrible shots. I think it should be noted down that the yare not careful about what they are doing without him, and the coach needs to figure out a way to make them understand how they should play when he is not on the floor.
747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 05, 2023, 06:02:39 PM
Newcastle had one good game at least, it was weird to see it against Arsenal and them not having any response to anything but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about Newcastle playing better, and that's a big deal. I think Arsenal is basically throwing the towel early in the season this time, last year they tried their best and still failed, this year the yare just aware that top four is all they can hope for, a second place would be lovely, third wouldn't be end of the world and that's it, they are just happy with what's going on.

I still think everyone expecting a steep fall from Tottenham, and the best thing to do in this regard would be just winning games and staying close until they start to lose their games. Newcastle spent so much money with the new owner as well, so they need to get a lot better results, they were in UCL for the first time in long time, so it is important for them to keep this streak going now and get higher.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 05, 2023, 03:29:23 PM
Barcelona should be glad that they got away with a win there, they are already a bit behind, it's early in the season yet so it's too early to say anything but they are not looking all that great and got three points at the last minutes a few times, this time it was defensive player Araujo ending up at the head place right time and that is very lucky for them.

The offside situation was just a few centimeters away from as well so it could have been easily offside with just a smaller amount of step, and they got lucky and it wasn't offside and won at 90+2 so it's really a very tough three points that they won. I think if they keep this up, the yare going to get worse and worse results, they need to dominate a lot more during the games.
749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: November 04, 2023, 02:30:05 PM
I think it is not, not really, gambling is something we see and learn from and then do. We wouldn't be inventing gambling when we are kids, we are not doing that, betting your livelihood on a game is not something that would make sense for a kid, they would ask why would they do that, it wouldn't make sense. It's something that grown ups do to have fun, we do not have a fun life, we work all day, and relax at night then wake up and work all day again, so we want to watch some games and to enhance the fun we are getting from the game we would like to end up with some betting so that the game would be more fun to watch, because there is something down to that.

I believe that we need to arrange something that could make some sense for adults to just basically have like some game just back when we were kids. However, kids do not need that, they just go out and play, that's all they have, and they could just have fun with anything, even an empty box could be a spaceship, so they do not gamble and it is not inbuilt.
750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: November 03, 2023, 08:32:50 PM
Another race week, this time at Brazil. Looks like it's going to be a pretty tough week, there are some warnings regarding weather situation as well. Telemetry system is one of the most important on weeks like this. Lets see how ferrari and Mercedes will do and if Mclaren can bounce back again. Max is the winner as always even before the week starts I can say that, unless there is like some crash or something.

However, the fun part is that Mclaren is trying to get that third place but Mercedes is not letting them, and the second place is a big fight between ferrari and Mercedes, Mercedes has done very well lately and got the second place, and Mclaren is less than 100 points away from ferrari for third place and very very few races left. I think this is how the first five will finish, but it's fun to see it.
751  Economy / Economics / Re: Are You Sticking to Your Plan or Has Life Made You Pause or Modify It? on: November 03, 2023, 07:41:51 PM
Well, life has changed a million times along the way for sure. I have never made any calculations regarding crypto neither, when I was growing up there was no crypto, bitcoin wasn't invented, so I never really assumed this would be possible and suddenly it is, that's a very important part of it.

I think it should be noted that things are not that easy for a lot of people and we should be avoiding it as much as we possibly could. I believe that we are not going to end up with anything that could be a little bit riskier. So long story short we should note down the fact that we can't really make anything bigger change, but sometimes life changes it for us and we need to accept the ride and go with it with whatever we are given.
752  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Must Read: Scams disguised as premium signal groups/channel on: November 03, 2023, 07:18:15 PM
ALL signal groups are scams, do not trust them, the ones that are obvious scams are the ones where the creator is aware that he is scamming you and they are asking for money and trying to just make as much profit as they can while trying to scam others and convince them. The ones that do act like they are not scams are the ones the creator is actually trying to help you but it's just a signal and the signal is tied to indicators and those indicators can't be all right so you are going to lose anyway.

If it was that simple we would all use those indicators and we would all be getting richer, don't you think that if a single could be made for bitcoin wealth, we would all be aware of it today and get rich thanks to it, we would all be millionaires by now. So all in all, the idea of a signal group itself is a scam, you can't make profit via signals, nobody could give you signals that could make you rich, it is impossible and you should stay away from them all.
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you an educated Sports Bettor? Please give me your opinion here. on: November 03, 2023, 06:52:44 PM
I would say this belongs a little bit to scam accusations topic and not gambling discussions. The problem is that we should definitely be not ignoring the current situation and yet we are not really caring about it enough to make any deductions at this topic, I could say that OP is right, I could say that Stake is right and nothing would change here.

However, if there is a topic about this at scam accusations, that would be a serious allegation and in that regard we are going to end up with seeing what the result will be and all the situation and responses will matter. This should be important because we are going to end up with a much better result eventually. Life is not that simple and we can't just assume some strangers online could help us, plus Stake is a 100+ million dollar company, and they would rather not have any accusations as well, so if there is actually something wrong, a proper topic would help OP get attention enough for a response.

Mane doesn't need to really get that much attention, he is playing for the money just like all the other players that came to this league, he is making more money than he probably did all his life, and he is winning, that is all a player would ever want for. He is making so much money that he doesn't need even any endorsement or sponsorship deals neither, just his salary is enough to be the highest he has ever earned, in fact more than all his salaries combined so far in his life.

So he could just ignore all the lack of media attention, not like it would bring in anything fun for him neither, why would anyone want some unnecessary media attention, it's good that he is doing fine right now and should be happy that he is at a club that allows him to play very well against weaker opponents and just have fun. This is basically football back to basics, just having fun, no pressure, no trouble, just like how kids are playing at the streets, for fun.
755  Economy / Economics / Re: US GDP growth beats WS estimates, grows at 4.9% , and this is good for Bitcoin on: November 03, 2023, 06:04:59 PM
Not entirely sure how legit this number is, but if the growth is like this, then we need to realize would this equally be good for the nation as well. People talking about growth, but if the rich grew 20% and the poor grew 1% and that averaged to 5%, then it means it is not good for the nation anyway. Doesn't mean that we shouldn't grow, we should keep on growing whenever we can, but we need to make sure that life is better. Do we not have homeless people issue in USA? Not have riot issues? Meth issues? Insurance issues? Healthcare issues? We still have a lot of these issues at the "biggest and strongest nation in the world".

USA loves to boost about how amazing their nation is, while there are people dying on the street from starvation and drug abuse. I am sorry but what kind of great nation would have that, I would very much prefer EU over USA, the "freedom" of USA became "freedom to die of drug abuse on the street" and I rather not have that, thanks.
756  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Binance is Rolling Out Copy Trading? on: November 03, 2023, 05:24:30 PM
Any additional feature that they do which people would like to use is a very welcomed one if you ask me. You have to remember that Binance is a business at heart, sometimes people think that it is there to help them, like was created out of some sort of idealistic point of view to enhance bitcoins power on the world, but that is not the case at all, they couldn't care less about it, if demise of bitcoin made them more money they would support that but the hype and FOMO of bitcoin market is a lot more profitable for them so they try to make sure that bitcoin is loved by all.

So, whatever they are adding new is not the benefit for you, it's benefit for them and a way for them to make more profit, but along the way if their profit means more money for you then that's a good thing and we shall use it. I personally do not use this feature so far, but I would never say never, maybe one day someone would convince me enough to make me use this feature in the future.
757  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your take on CEX platforms integrating DEX capabilities like swapping? on: November 03, 2023, 04:09:41 PM
There are some places that are taking whatever features that people liked with DEX, but that doesn't mean that it's actually decentralized, plus not like we really need it to be like that neither, we are fine with as it is and shouldn't really approach it any differently.

I personally believe that the best thing we could do at this moment is to make sure that CEX we use will not scam us and take all our money and leave, there has been a lot of places like that, so do not invest into some small cap exchange just because it has your favorite new meme shit token, there are a lot of people who lost millions combined just because of things like that.

Real centralized exchanges, ones like coinbase, binance and so forth are real places that people like to keep their money in, and those places are much better than any decentralized exchange you can think of, it's really making a big deal out of the situation and should be used a lot more on the long run whenever you can.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use multiple platforms for betting? on: November 02, 2023, 08:42:55 PM
I definitely do. The odds are not always same everywhere and it is not like everywhere has the same amount of results neither, not like "it's always better odds at this X place" type of thing, it is good for some sports here, and some sports there, some games here, some marketing stuff makes it better over there etc etc. So at the end you look at what game you want to bet on first, and then try to find the best odds anywhere you can play, and I have like 5-6 different places where I have an account and a little bit of money in them.

This means whenever I want to make a bet, I just look at each of them and see which one is giving me better odds and if I get the best result then I would be able to actually get a much better result.
759  Economy / Economics / Re: Does Using a Credit Card Demonstrate Financial Literacy? on: November 02, 2023, 08:25:14 PM
We are talking about "preference" here but forgetting that there are people who have no other choice. Yes, it is obvious that if you spend debt on things that you do not need that's bad, but that's already obvious, doing drugs is also bad, should we tell that too? Some things are just way too obvious and should go without stating.

However, if we are talking about something more serious, like how credit card could be used, then we need to realize that some people are so much in trouble, even without spending on luxury or useless stuff, they just do not make enough to pay for their life misery, and they just find themselves forced to use credit card. That's why credit cards exists, there are things you HAVE TO pay, and maybe you do not have money, so you end up using your credit card for it. That should be something important to note and shouldn't really be a big deal. I think it shouldn't be important on the long run at all and need to be fixed.
760  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for November on: November 02, 2023, 08:14:10 PM
This time it's not really prices but the bull or trap type of question, nice change of pace to be fair I like it. I believe that we are in a bull period right now but also I believe that it's just the start of it and nothing major, we shouldn't really approach it like it is going to be something special right away, that is not the case most of the time.

For example we may not keep on rising for a while longer, the halving is still some time to go and not right now, so we need to take our time. I hope that people do not put all their money right away, or maybe they rather should but do not put any money in expecting a profit daily, because it may go up in the future, looks like it will, but maybe not right away this week.
