Snip
Giving deposit bonuses is a strategy of gambling sites that helps them attract gamblers. but when one accepts the bonus he must comply with the wagering requirements and as soon as he makes the deposit he will get the bonus but his balance will be frozen. So it is better to avoid bonus and gamble with break instead of panic is the best strategy to succeed in gambling. however, many people do not understand this issue and face many problems and lose a lot of money in gambling.
Yes, I didn't understand much about gambling at first. At first, a new gambling site gives you an unspecified bonus when you deposit. But now I'm a big fan of gambling.I lost a lot of money while playing gambling without understanding anything about gambling in the first stage. Now I don't have to face such problems. But I think gambling is a deadly addiction. We should stay away from gambling.
Many casino sites have the option to take deposit bonus or not and the user can choose it as per his wish. so note this while making a deposit and then skip the bonus option to avoid encountering the wagering requirement. Because the wagering requirement creates extra stress for a gambler. So you should always avoid bonuses whether you understand it or not
762  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Important Points to Learn from Your Worst Sports Betting Losses! on: June 20, 2023, 12:19:30 PM
The lesson I've learned from loosing sports bet is to take all bets serious. Probably every time I made a bet just for fun, just because odds seems to be like a easy win, just because "that team/player simply cant fail" - I've lost. I did not treat my money responsibly. Also a bet like "place a bet and forget" will probably lose. Every time I've placed a bet and watched sports, I end with more or less expected outcome. But when I place a bet, close browser and went for a lunch for example, it is always a loss for me. Play smart, focus, have cold head.
Of course, everyone's financial responsibility is their own.  But those who gamble only for fun do not panic and bet on sure matches with sports bets as they get more fun and also less chance of financial loss. But those who panic in the slightest always face problems and suffer financially.  So gambling should be taken as fun and should be done in a relaxed manner without panicking

Many people find it difficult to accept who they are and the bad habits that they have, accepting a habit is the first step that will determine if any help offered to you will work. As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
An addicted gambler can never control himself and his sense of right and wrong is diminished. So he doesn't realize that he is deeply addicted to gambling so he doesn't want to admit that he is addicted to gambling. So a person who does not gamble or gambles very rarely  will understand who is deeply addicted to gambling but an addicted person will never understand it.

Congratulations to Spain

It was very tough from beginning to the end and Spain have to win the day. There must be a winning in every finals. I really wished Modric would have lifted this cup but he tried his best but it didn't work for him
The hero of tonight was the Spanish keeper - Simon who saved 2 goals in the penalty shoot out.
I really love this season end. It is not boring, there are alot of matches to watch and to bet.
And again Modric failed in the final when he was in the national team, which is quite disappointing because it looks like it will be a trophy for Croatia, and their goalkeeper this time did not perform like in a good World Cup on penalties. Congratulations to Spain who finally became champions not as the favorite team to win but were able to overcome their opponents well, including in penalty shootouts,
I will not blame the Crotia goalkeeper for not saving penalty. When it comes to Penalty kicks,  there is not guarantee that any goalkeeper will save the shoots. That is why we blame the players for missing Pk and praise the goalkeeper for saving PK.
Having said the above, I will rather blame two Croatia players for missing Pk, unlike the Crotia I know too well in the world for being able to take excellent penalty kicks.
Sometimes too you drop your goalkeeper and take the second choice. Spain dropped Kepa for Simon and the result was great
There is always nothing for the goalkeeper to do but many times many penalties are missed due to the fault of the goalkeeper.  However, Croatia vs spain match was very hard fought and spain scored 5 goals in penalties but Croatia missed one, unfortunately they lost.  But Croatia's goalkeeper cannot be blamed for this. Both teams were very good and strong so the match was played like this. winning and losing matches in pk mostly depends on goalkeeper and luck

According to the articles shared, sports betting will have the highest market gain in the next few years.
What do you think?

Sportsbetting is a very seasonal business, during times of big tournaments we are also seeing a lot of people betting on it. Now with the covid pandemic being over and no more restrictions on international travel I think that all the big tournaments are coming. Which definitely means that we are seeing a rise of sports betting. Against this trend is the rising inflation, which makes living cost so much more expensive and leaves us less money to spend on gambling. Also casinos and sports books don't need to report their revenues publicly as most of them are private companies. This makes it harder to compare the numbers of traditional casinos against sportsbetting. Among my friends I have more people betting on sports then going to casinos, so the statement could definitely be true.
Sports betting has indeed been very popular in online gambling for a long time and this type of bet is very easy to do with some predictive strategies for profit and is very easy for so many novice gamblers to do so that online gambling is developing very quickly in this very fast era of advanced technology.
Many people have made huge profits from sports betting, which can be seen in the news from time to time. when it comes to sports betting, if you know the team or player and know the performance of the players, predicting the result is easy and potential. and the industry of sports betting is now very big and there are huge amount of gamblers for sportsbet.

Personally, I respect and approve of your approach and believe that if more people acted like you, the cryptocurrency market would be much safer. A conscious investment is very important, of course it does not mean that it will always be profitable, but it shows a mature approach to investment and I believe that in the long run it will guarantee you profit. Do not give up further learning economics and technical analysis, and it will certainly pay off in the future. I wish you every success.
If everyone had the same mindset, everything would have gone well. so more than half of the crypto users panic and when they hear any negative market news or see the market dump, they quickly start selling their crypto so the market gets worse. But they don't understand that the market will pump again and they can get more profit.  So, everyone should keep this in mind and not panic, but be patient

It may be for his own security. Because Bitcoin is a currency where one can hold large sums of money at once in a completely anonymous manner, many people do not want to publicize their financial status and hold large sums of money in secret. because of this, many people want to hide their Bitcoin usage or holdings. the best formula is for those who happily use Bitcoin to let everyone know about it, but those who use Bitcoin to hold large amounts of money try to keep themselves a secret.

Nepal set a target of 290 runs but Zimbabwe managed to overcome it and Zimbabwe won by 8 wickets it was a very good performance. Only 4 players from Zimbabwe crossed this run target by playing, out of which 2 players Ervine and Williams scored more than 100 runs each.  These two deserve high credit for Zimbabwe's win. Nepal did not play badly, they also kept the target in good runs against Zimbabwe

Personally, I thought Nepal is going to have good confidence going into the second innings. They had a good total on board for sure. But the performance of the Zimbabwe team was beyond exceptional. Winning a match with eight wickets and more than 30 balls in hand is not an easy task when the target is more than 290.

And I expected better performance from the bowling side of Nepal. Craig Ervine and Sean Williams both of them, got their individual milestones of a century. Nepal was also fortunate that Zimbabwe conceded 22 extra runs. Otherwise, the match was going to be over far earlier. I think Nepal actually underestimated the capability of Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe can keep this type of performance going, I think they might have a chance to qualify for the World Cup.
The way Zimbabwe played, it would have been possible for them to complete the target of more than 300 runs. Because they beat the target of 290 runs in just 44 overs and only 4 players played for Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe's preparation was good while Nepal also tried hard to set a high run target to their opponents Zimbabwe but failed to set a target of more than 300 runs so Nepal lost the match.

Last season was indeed a bad one for the Old Ladies of Turin because of the court decisions that went against them and that is also why they'll not be playing in the UEFA Champions League competition come next season.
The point deduction is now a thing of the past but the club's management needs to be careful in involving themselves in similar dealings that led to the point deduction and also the players of the club must step up and take the club to where they belong once again
Juventus experienced ups and downs last season and I really applaud their fortitude in dealing with these problems. Actually, deducting points isn't entirely bad, but it can't be said to be good either, because there is something even scarier, namely having to go down to Serie B if the problem proves to be so severe. Luckily Juventus don't lose their chance in Serie A next season and they can still compete again with other top teams to fight for the Scudetto. The only thing they regret is of course the Champions League place next season and they must be willing to play in Europe's lowest competition, namely the Conference League.
We can say that this year has been very difficult for Juventus. If they had not lost points, they could have finished the league in second place, but they lost points. Due to these points losses, they could not focus on the league after a while. Of course they wanted to be in UCL next year, but now they have to settle for the tournament they go to.
Juventus went ahead in the points table with a good number of points but again fell far behind.  Whether they can do better this year is doubtful. Juventus is not a bad team but because of their poor performance this year Napoli, Lazio, Inter, Milan have become challenging teams for them. this weakness they will not be able to overcome this year, so the chances of Napoli becoming champions this year are high

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.
Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue
All the points mentioned by you are true and effective and if you don't follow these strategies it can lead to gambling losses also big losses. When drinking alcohol, a person has no control over himself, so it is not possible for him to focus on gambling at that time. And if you don't take a break from gambling, people's brains become confused, so you can't win anything good from gambling
772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: June 18, 2023, 05:30:00 PM
The World Cup Qualifiers are going to start from today in Zimbabwe with ten teams. The ten teams are divided into two groups. Sri Lanka, Ireland, Oman, Scotland and United Arab Emirates are in Group 'B'. Group 'A' includes West Indies, Nepal, Netherlands, USA and Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe will face Nepal in the first match today. Nepal is currently having a great time in cricket, they qualified for the Asia Cup Qualifiers a few days back and now their mission is to qualify for the World Cup Qualifiers. In today's match, I want to put Zimbabwe slightly ahead. Because the World Cup qualifiers are being held in Zimbabwe, the conditions will be in favor of Zimbabwe.
First match of CWC qualifier between Nepal and Zimbabwe just started at Harare. Zimbabwe decided to field first after winning the toss. Its a big game for Nepal as they for the first time playing CWC. Nepal are haven't cored any run so far in 2 over that are bowled. I would rate Nepal higher then Zimbabwe since they have done good in there recent matches.
The second match is also in progress between USA and WI, it will be very much in WI favour unless USA do some upet.

Zimbabwe vs Nepal

Things are not looking good for Zimbabwe right now. Nepal is actually performing really well. They have scored 279 at the loss of five wickets. 48 overs have been bowled. It looks like an apple might actually reach 300. This is already a very hard task for Zimbabwe.

I do not think that Zimbabwe will be able to win this match if Nepal does end up reaching 300. Because I trust Nepal to defend 300 with the bowling lineup that they have. But at the same time, it is looking like a good pitch to bat on. So, if Zimbabwe can keep up with the run rate and keep wickets in hand, they might be able to win. but still, it is going to be really hard.

Nepal set a target of 290 runs but Zimbabwe managed to overcome it and Zimbabwe won by 8 wickets it was a very good performance. Only 4 players from Zimbabwe crossed this run target by playing, out of which 2 players Ervine and Williams scored more than 100 runs each.  These two deserve high credit for Zimbabwe's win. Nepal did not play badly, they also kept the target in good runs against Zimbabwe

And we can say that bitcoin based gambling platform is one of the used case for bitcoin itself. When we have just a couple of crypto platforms early and only accepts bitcoin as form of deposits and withdrawals. And then it grow every year, other cryptocurrencies has been accepted as well and so gamblers have a lot of options and it equate to the growth of this business. And with the pandemic wherein gamblers are just inside their home, they found online gambling as the only form of entertainment or shall I say the only way to continue with their gambling activity, hence it blow up and it continues till this day.
And maybe in the next few years, we will see the gambling business in crypto growing, especially if the government gives permission for crypto to the public. That will definitely make a lot of people know crypto and learn about it and they will find that crypto can also be used for gambling even though, for now, people have seen that since the pandemic took place in the last few years. So people might go to online crypto casinos more than offline ones because online casinos provide more facilities for gamblers.
Crypto has so far been legalized in almost all countries  but illegal in handful of countries. So crypto is not a problem but gambling is still illegal in many countries be it physical or virtual. However, online gambling has now spread to such an extent that it is widely used in illegal countries as well.  And even if online gambling sites are restricted in some countries, many people are gambling using vpn. So it can be said that the online gambling industries have grown in size now and will grow bigger in the future because gambling is very popular among the youth as a place where some go for fun and some use it for income.
The presence of crypto can allow many people to play gambling without needing to provide their personal documents to the casino. And crypto casinos understand the desire of people who want to gamble anonymously, so they provide gamblers with the best options.

That is why the gambling business can grow because people can choose their coins and are not dependent on fiat anymore. This makes it even easier for them and provides a wide choice of coins as the casino gives a lot of coins as deposit coins. And the crypto gambling business can develop even more in the future if the government opens up more and more to accept the presence of crypto.
Just like gambling is risky without personal documents, doing kyc on all sites is also very risky. So we need to be careful in all cases  If not, problem is certain. It is not possible to do anything good in negligence. So it is foolish to think that we can be completely safe in any case. it is impossible to be completely safe especially when it comes to gambling
I agree with you Gambling can never be safe.  Because gambling is something in which a person can never win regularly. and it would be foolish to think that a gambling site would maintain the security of users' documents where the likes of Google and Facebook sell users data. Meanwhile, gambling sites are constantly coming in the market so it is difficult to understand which site is trustworthy and which site is unreliable

Gambling have been made very easy now, with the help of your mobile phone and internet connection, we can all gamble it’s not necessary you visit any casino house before you can gamble, in the process of visiting casino house, people will see you and you will be exposed that you are a gambler, but when you gamble with your mobile devices, if you don’t inform anyone that you are gambling, no one will know about it, gambling have been made very easy now and their are lots of online gambling.
of course we should play all the gambling games with which we are familiar. So we should not go to play those games where we have no experience as it may lead to financial loss. now that gambling is possible at home with just a smartphone, Internet connection and digital currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRX, USDT, people's attraction towards it is increasing day by day and the number of gambling addicts is increasing day by day.

As a young person, I am overwhelmed by my curiosity in trading Bitcoin, but I'm not sure if it is appropriate for me to resign my white collar work and return to trading exclusively Bitcoin.

This was a conversation a buddy of mine and I had yesterday, and I felt compelled to bring it to this illustrious platform for the best types of advice and counsel.

Is it safe for a Bitcoin trader to quit their jobs and focus solely on Bitcoin trading if they can devote their time and attention to maximize the benefits in the Bitcoin world?
By trading Bitcoin, it is possible to make a living. However, I don't think it will be possible to make daily profit from trading so it cannot be considered as a source of passive income. So you definitely need a fixed job or business to lead a happy life. And besides that you can trade bitcoins which will bring you extra income. and if you hold Bitcoin for a long time instead of short term trading, you can make better profit and in this case the risk will be less.

There are no rules for success or loss in gambling, the more you can control yourself and relax, the better you will be at gambling. But if you want to avoid losing something big in gambling, you must choose gambling as a place of entertainment. And at all times it should be avoided thinking that gambling can be one's profession. If you are into gambling for fun and if you have good luck and can make accurate predictions you can win big then this will act as a big bonus for you.

Yes. Only scammer can sell ‘100% win’ strategy. Take the win like a bonus in life is a very good point.
Not only in gambling but in every field a person wants to be the best so no one will share his 100% strategy with anyone.  If someone is seen sharing a potential strategy, then there must be an interest in it for them. So trusting someone blindly is the greatest folly.  So always control yourself and research yourself then do any work if there is finance involved. Otherwise of course you will be in danger at some point and will never be able to acquire good skills if you are dependent on others

Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by a huge margin of 546 runs to achieve the biggest win of the 21st century. The 546-run win in Test cricket is the third-highest in history, with two wins in 1928 and another in 1934. However, in today's match, the Afghanistan team looked completely lifeless and they ended their innings by scoring 146 and 115 runs in the first and second innings respectively. In two innings together, Afghanistan could not collect runs equal to one innings of Bangladesh.

See largest Victories: https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/largest-margin-of-victory-by-runs-283901
It was understood that Bangladesh would win after watching their first innings play.  Because Bangladesh's quality of play was very good and Afghanistan performed poorly both in bowling and batting. Winning the match by a margin of 546 runs is a huge achievement as it is not common for a team to win by such a big margin. Bangladesh is really gaining a great reputation in cricket.  The way Bangladesh are playing feels like they are playing a T20 or ODI match.

Everyone is free to give his own interpretation on women interaction with gambling but what we will all arrived at is that we cannot compare the rate of women participation to that of men in gambling, maybe we can give some reasons like how women were believed to be weaker vessels unlike men in most cases, their dedication and commitments to the house and the family especially in taking care of the children at home, lastly maybe our women may not have that boldness of taking risk associated to gambling because some depends on their earnings to take care of the family.
Women gamble less than men because women love money more than men and don't like to waste money. But nowadays women have also progressed a lot and women are working extensively as an alternative to men, so women are gradually getting involved in gambling as well too. But while women have gambled less than men so far, it doesn't seem like such a difference will exist in the future days
