An interesting subject in itself, you can develop and optimize your idea, but in the end you always need luck to be profitable with betting on sports. You could also choose to look for the gray area so that you always have a big advantage, but bookmakers will act against that. And then I mean as an example a situation in which a goal is scored but the VAR then intervenes. Then you have odds that are initially based on the goal scored, you could quickly bet on that in the knowledge that a goal could be disallowed. But as I write, I think bookmakers can close your account because of this. So it's not worth the risk.
For me luck is another factor of sports betting. because before we bet, the first thing we have to know is, we know for sure what we are doing. in other words, in sports betting especially football. The first rule is that we must know very well about the leagues that will be part of the betting. second, we have to know, the system in betting regarding odds and so on. third, we must really understand about football itself. in this context, referring to the reference the OP's theme created this thread. from what I said at the top of this post, it's all related to the points the OP made a long list. btw, the VAR problem is part of the mechanism that occurs when a match is held or started. Well, like I said before, that luck is another factor. that means, someone who wants to be a sports gambler like the OP said. to get victory, there are mechanisms that we have to do some of which the OP has outlined in his thread. in short, to minimize defeat. someone who bets, must involve his insight, knowledge, as well as his skills in terms of analysis and research. after going through this mechanism, we will get a conclusion and that is what is considered in the bet. After that, we just leave it all to luck. In any gambling game, luck is always a factor that is in play for the final results. But in sportsbetting, the more you know about a specific sports, the higher your chance of winning. And coupled with luck, you can hit the winning streak. However, don't get too confident that you will win in every bet. You still have a lot of factors that you can't account for as those are like your blind spots such as actual performance in the field, or their strategies. However, the longer years you are following the sports, the more confident you will be in placing your bets, you can also bet on other betting lines for better results. |

I highly doubt that between 1.6 billion and 4.2 billion people around the world gamble. Those numbers are very far-fetched.
The number of active gamblers should be less than 500 million. The people, who gambled less than 5 times a year cannot be considered gamblers.
Lotteries might be more acceptable than casinos, but that doesn't mean that everyone accepts them. The lotteries are called "a tax for the stupid" for a reason.
OP, it seems that you have copied some generic article about gambling from somewhere. Can you at least post a link to the source of information?
You've answered yourself why the statistics are so high. People who gamble very little, like few times a year are counted as well as those who buy lottery tickets. I personally know a guy who gambles almost every single day buying lottery tickets and scratchcards. You may think there's less gamblers around the world, but with the easy access to online gambling people could be doing it while taking a dump. You may not even know that your partner is a gambler because he does it in the toilet. Talking about real gamblers, we can't determine the number of it, but we can say, the number is high. People who are into lotteries alone are quite big in population. But if we remove the lottery population, the number can decline fast. People have different approach towards gambling, because we have different financial status in life and priorities as well. Now, if you think you value your time and money, and don't want the risk, the less chance you will subject yourself into gambling. But I can agree that it is very easy for one person to be attracted in any gambling game, after all, you can at least fun and entertainment out of it. |

This topic can have various assumptions and points of view. The best answer and deeper understanding of womens opinions on gambling it would be better to question female users on Bitcointalk. In my personal view I have known many women that doesn’t accept losing or being wrong even when they may not be. Gambling on long term will always make you lose so we may not witness as many females engaging in online gambling or creating YouTube channels dedicated to gambling and live game streaming like we see many gamblers in YouTube are males.
On the other hand males like ourselves we tend to take more risks compared to women. This different mentality we have and how we think leading us to gamble more often, and unfortunately many men can become easily addicted to gambling as a result.
Because the fact is, a lot of women are also mothers. So as much as possible, they don't want to lose their hard-earned money. Instead of gambling, they will choose to buy other basic needs at home and not take the risk. For them, once they lost a good chunk of money, it means, they can't buy something for the table or their kids. Hence, that's a lot to take if she is a responsible mother. This is why a lot of them don't spend long time in gambling. |

It can be found if we can look for it carefully because with so many casinos nowadays, not all casinos will allow gamblers not to do KYC. Casinos today are different than they were a few years ago, and with government interference, they have to keep up if they want to continue doing business. And if we have found a casino that really can be trusted, we should also be able to be calm about doing KYC because the casino will try to protect the important data of its customers.
Most of the casinos do look at what country you are from and base their regulations on their judgment as to whether they will require you to undergo KYC or not. I have friends who are into sports betting or gambling in casinos, but they are not required to go through KYC, just like me. Therefore, we enjoy the full liberty of gambling anonymously. But you should not forget to check their ToS in terms of KYC requirements. Even if they are not requiring you to submit one, you need to remind yourself that if it is stated on their terms, you should always prepare your KYC docs, and should correspond to the details you entered to the site to avoid trouble. We can't be so sure that these casinos won't ask KYC from you. They can easily do random checks and ask your credentials. |

That title confused me to be honest with you op. I thought you meant ear deafness in the literal sense here. Anyway, I don't have any friends who cannot control their gambling addictions since they don't really wager much.
However, I know how difficult it is to control your gambling addiction based on my personal experience. It can get really, really scary sometimes.
Also thought this way but it turns out to be different. Well, gambling addiction can cause a lot of stress and might trigger sickness as well. If your friend are more responsible in gambling then its good but if you have a friend who are still struggling and their situation slowly becoming worst, better to help them as early as possible. Addiction is not a joke, and you should treat this seriously at all cost. Just like many types of addiction, a person who is an addict usually doesn't want to hear an advise. They think they know what they are doing and they don't want to hear anything about what they need to do. But if you have a close friend, or family who needs help, as much as possible, try to assist them to see what is really going on with their life. Most of the time, they are blind to see what gambling is doing to their self or to their family. This is why you need long patience when you deal to a person with such problem. Try to look for the root cause why he went that way. |

litecoin price will just follow the path of bitcoin regardless whether its gonna have some halving or not.
after all seeing the chart of litecoin from the past few years it's always following bitcoin, so I don't really agree with the idea that with halving it will somehow sky rocket in value.
It may not give a sky rocket value but the possibility of jumping up a lil bit is always possible. However, it will only be short lived as the anticipation will go down especially if the litecoin team doesn't have much news for this old alt. But if they will launch good news about what they are planning to do and some of them are already in the pipeline, it may sustain the price increase, if there's any. Only few months left and we haven't heard any big news from the team, so I also don't think that there will be big changes when it comes to its price level. |

1. The most important step is to Research and analyzes before placing your bets: It is imperative that you gather relevant information about teams, players, statistics, and recent performances. This information would enable you to make more informed decisions.
Doing research before making a bet is really necessary so that we can consider it from various sides, as well as the chance. However, in betting, this does not guarantee that we will win. Because in betting, there are several challenges where sometimes the reality or the results really don't match our predictions and research. Especially if it's sports betting, slots or other things where sometimes there are other factors that have an effect. But at least, we have tried and understand what the risks are from the betting itself. Because in actual situation, there are still some blind spots that we can't cover like the current health status of the player, their preparation, weather conditions, planned strategies, coaching skills and others. This is why even if you know their history, you can't guarantee yourself that your bets will win. But of course, doing your due diligence will give you better edge when it comes to choosing your bets. |

How much ,as you think , is 1 bitcoin in 2025?
I didn't participate in the poll simply because my Bitcoin prediction price is not among the price list for the poll and this made me avoid the prediction because I am sure Bitcoin is going to surpass that price and we are looking at having above 100k price by the year 2025 because by then we may have hard our next bull market and also 2024 halves may have gone for long and the block size already reduced and enhance price and scarcity of the commodity. But look at the date when the OP created this thread, it is almost 10 years ago already. And we are about 2 years shy from his target year. And when the poll was created, the bitcoin's price was only about $130. Hence, I highly believe that at that time, the $10k level is like impossible to happen. But of course, that has been change in today's market situation. The possibility of reaching more than that is very high. As we are already in the 25k level, we are aiming now in the range of 50k to 100k. For sure, 10 years ago, those amount would be crazy to think about. I guess most of them didn't even think that bitcoin will surpass $1k. |

endless supply, as you say. In other words, it means a crypto currency that has no end and will constantly increase as it increases in the market. In general, all products gain value as they are limited. How valuable can something that is in continuous production be because its circulation will never stop? After a while, it will fall even lower than the prices you bought, and eventually it will inevitably end up as garbage. I am in favor of not investing.
even if the coin have limited supply, if it's too much it's also the same as infinite supply, in the case of meme coin in general, they have so much supply that their value each valued like next to zero. investing in these infinite supply coins just like massive big red flag that instantly makes me hesitant in investing in the coin any further. heck even with so many vested coins locked up waiting for it to just dump the market right away gives me hesitation of investing in those, after all, we aren't lacking coins for investment. but finding the coin with prospect is of essence. Price growth is hard if you have infinite supply. You need to find a very valuable reason why you need to use such alt. And think about the reason why they have infinite supply, normally, it is for the developers' pockets. A coin with limited supply is the same as well, if there's no valid use case, it can easily go down the drain. If you want to see if the coin is promising, don't only look for its supply, but will it be used by many or just selected few? |

But we have often experienced defeat when playing gambling. And instead of reducing the money or time we use, we increase the money because we think we can win soon. And because gambling depends on luck, we cannot expect luck to always come to us every time we gamble because luck only comes to the right people.
Because you are treating gambling as source of income which is why you have a feeling that you need to play more to win more. You will be chill win or lose if you are gambling for entertainment without a string attached on your profit or losses. Let go if you lose, celebrate if you win but you should not consider your previous game result to your current game because they are not connected so that you can avoid chasing losses or profit. Stop gambling not because we lose but because we want to use that money to gamble another day because, who knows, we can be luckier than today.
This way, you will just lose because you are thinking to gambling. You will never stop if you have that kind of goal. Stop gambling if you are not getting any entertainment on it like when you are already tired or you don’t get any progress anymore. Unfortunately, most gamblers are aiming to win and won't stop up until they have no more funds to play with. A lot of gamblers are getting into trouble because they have one target, which is to hit big. And they not only use their extra money, but sometimes they stake their money that is allotted for their basic expenses. Hence, they won't stop because they need to recover their losses. And sadly, you won't recover such losses. |

It's not much different between Crash and Limbo, but I prefer to play Limbo, maybe I'd be happy to discuss other casino games like Limbo, but occasionally I often play Crash, maybe this site promotes and recommends some Crash games. It's also interesting to follow this. and wait for your website to finish. i will come again to see it. I also just tried the simulator game provided by your site using fake money, but unfortunately the page view loads 4 demo games at once so that it makes my browser so heavy to load it, besides that it doesn't include a link to load and try it in another tab to make it lighter, but I understand this is still in beta stage, nice to hear updates from you again later  Crash game is a good start to have this comparison table. Yes, if they can add other games, that would be very nice. But for the moment, they have a lot to review as the list is long. But the provably fair column alone is a very good info to the players. Because a simple question from this, do you really want to bet high amounts on a crash game which is not provably fair? I don't think so. Also, since the OP found a way to post this thread on the gambling board of the forum, can he also add a column where he can put the bitcointalk thread link of the site itself? This will give us idea if we can easily ask for help if anything goes wrong with our game. Because an active thread in this forum will give us a bit peace of mind that their team is reachable by forum players. |

Since you say you are still a beginner here, I can only advise you to look at the market conditions and surroundings before you buy Bitcoin, because buying at any price is not always better even if it is Bitcoin. In fact, this is not a hard blow for everyone, including for yourself because currently many investors prefer stable coins when they see that the SEC is handling two large exchanges that are often used by investors and traders.
So that the decline still occurs, but believe that you and your friends will never lose if you still want to be patient to save the Bitcoin that you bought earlier for a much better price. Because Bitcoin is always more likely to get a price recovery when the big exchange conditions are better and the panic on the part of traders and investors starts to go away.
Being a beginner in this market has a lot to worry as they don't know yet what bitcoin needs to go thru to sustain its position in this new market. Let alone experiencing a lot of ups and downs, which for many, can create confusion if they are right about investing in this very volatile market. They don't know if the decline is good as they have no idea when will it go up again. So quite difficult to know when will they need to sell to get profits. If you are long enough to witness this market, you will take advantage of the price fall as you know that at some point in the future, it will rise and you will reap your rewards. However, if you have urgent needs of your money, this is a challenge as you may need to sell your crypto below your buying price. Hence, the dilemma in this market. With such worry, the advice of investing what you can afford to lose will come in handy. Don't invest if you think you are staking your hard-earned money for nothing. |

Kinda weird how we're basing the strength of a team based on the best placed by bookmakers on them, and not how bookmakers base their odds based on the strength of the teams themselves. I've never really tried this (or ever will) really, just doesn't make sense to me. Has anyone actually tried this and made work of it? Preferably in cases where you ignored the teams themselves, just the odds.
Granted I've rarely bet on underdogs though. They're called underdogs for a reason after all, they may have made a significant one or two matches, but it doesn't mean it's a solid display of their strength. Can't exactly forget their past records ofc.
But if you know very well the sports, you have the insights on why bookies are making them as underdogs. Because if you follow a specific sports closely, you can get the idea about their weaknesses and strengths. And if you still prefer to bet on a losing team, it means, you are seeing some advantage that you think can play out during the game. A good example is in the boxing sports, even if the boxer is the underdog, he has the chance to win and get an upset as there are some blind factors that bookies and bettors can't see. Like the preparation, their strategies, actual power during the fight, coaching and many others. Now, when it comes to football, a lot of factors are in play as well, the actual line-up during the match, weather, coach, strategies among many others. So for the bookies to identify the favorite, will be considering a lot of factors as well. But most bookies have the same favorite as they will have offering of similar odds. |

Already everything bitcoin related is banned in our country still we are using bitcoin but recently government of our country may be more strict about using bitcoin. NAGAD, the popular mobile banking service of our country, is currently conducting a cautionary campaign in various ways to transact through Bitcoin in our country. They are using social media and leaflets as part of the campaign. Since we are involved with Bitcoin, these things seem scary to us. I already have some investment in Bitcoin and I am thinking of investing some more but at this time news like this is making me weak mentally.
I don't know what we should do at this point.
In my point of view, you can still invest in bitcoin as long as you invest bitcoin in foreign platform. Buy and store your bitcoin on a platform which is not tracked by your finance regulator of your country. Then when you want to sell your bitcoin, you can sell it on b*nance (as one of the largest trading platform) or any trading platform which supports a withdrawal into USD or into your FIAT directly. He can always store his bitcoin for the moment in noncustodial wallets. I am positive that sooner or later, his government will change their stance towards the bitcoin market. Upon searching the Nagad website, I assume the OP is from Bangladesh. However, as you said, they can use binance to convert their crypto to their fiat, Bangladeshi (BDT). But with more and more countries accepting crypto, I believe this country will loosen their approach towards crypto. There are also a lot of Bangladeshis here in the forum, it means, they have their means of using crypto or converting crypto to their fiat. |

Must successful businesses are not run by high certificate holders indeed but then being certified in a particular field gives you an insight into the theoretical framework for the business and how to administer the day to day running of the company and thos could result into whether or not the company succeed or not.
But to guarantee success of a business, the owner needs to have a long-term experience in the business in other to effectively manage the business and place it on track for success.
The certificate is only an additional confirmation of the level of knowledge (if it is not acquired on the black market). But, again, it is one thing to have a certificate, and another thing to successfully apply knowledge in practice. Very often the reality is different from what is taught in the institutes. When a person comes to work (for example, on a construction site), he is honestly told to forget what he was taught at the institute. The same applies to certificates The certificate is just additional paper to gain credibility in your field. However, the actual work is quite different. Just do take note that a lot of successful businessmen are drop-outs. But for sure, they gained experiences thru time and they studied on their own about their field of industry. Thus, it is a continuous effort to learn everyday about their craft. It is not just by holding certificate that can guarantee you have the edge on your field. So either you have your MBA or not before you start your own company, for me, is not a big factor to attain success. But your perseverance to educate yourself on what needs to be done to get ahead of your competitors. And you can learn that as you go thru your journey in any business you want to get involve with. |

With the sale of Manchester United imminent, who do you think would be the preferred bidder between, British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Qatar billionaire Sheikh Jassim?
My odds are that Sheikh would win the bid and take fully control of Manchester United.
However i feel the glaziers are reluctant to sell, due to the prolonged rounds of bidding and they're doing so to avoid much spending in the upcoming transfer window.
If it should be done base on highest bidder the Arab money will be the one to own it,because we have seen how much these Arab investors now have passion for football and can pay any amount to get what they want. On the other hand if it comes to been biased,I think that the English man will have an upper hand in buying Manchester united,because the English men might never want to foreigner to buy the club since the royal family has a connection with the club. Time will tell who will become the new CEO of Manchester united. If they are only considering about the amount of money here, the Arab money is a tough competitor on this field. However, it seems that they want the Brit billionaire to be the next owner of this team. Rumors said that Qataris are making a 100% bid, whereas, the Brit is offering only a majority control. https://www.espn.ph/football/story/_/id/37811103/sources-qatari-sheikh-submits-final-man-utd-bidBut up until this date, there's no one in papers who is to be the new owner. Seems that they are not very interested with Jassim's very lucrative offer. The deadline was last Friday from Jassim's camp, and we haven't heard any news afterwards. |

Your trading strategy involves allocating a certain percentage of your capital to buy a coin when it falls in price. The percentage is determined by the extent of the coin's price drop in the last 24 hours. Your approach aims to take advantage of market fluctuations and capitalize on potential rebounds. By purchasing at discounted prices and waiting for the coin's value to increase, you aim to sell it for a profit. Think it is a very good strategy which can help make you decent profits.
The dilemma of this strategy is what if the price will continue to decline and there is no sign of going up? Remember, most alts have such trend because they already got their peak at the start. And once the team got their money out of this project, they don't care anymore about its remaining life in the market. So such strategy of the OP is not true or work in most alts. That will only work if you are seeing that the coin has the chance of reviving itself. You can only see it happen in most old alts where you have the confidence that they will not disappear in the trading market. Most new alts will just be abandoned after quite some time without a warning. And so the strategy won't work because the decline is continuous. |

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?
A gambler may regret when he loses a large amount in gambling. people regret in gambling less or more after losing a bet . But those who do more definitely lack of proper knowledge about gambling. A gambler must know some basic knowledge before getting into gambling. Nothing is guaranteed in gambling. After placing a bet there is no guarantee of winning. As a result, a gambler must come out from the idea of getting his money back on the bet until he wins. In gambling one should spend some money that he will not regret after losing the bet. But there are many gamblers who gamble with their daily spending money. For them, regret after gambling loss is more. If a gambler conducts gambling systematically with a separate budget for gambling, he does not regret after losing rather they make plan how to win in the next bet. A gambler will only regret if the money spent was not for gambling but for his other needs. Because he will only feel wasted if it is allotted for gambling, but blaming himself is another story. So to avoid the feeling of being remorseful, use the money that you allocate for your gambling activities. Stick to your budget and don't follow your desire of chasing losses because we all know its consequences, it won't do any good on you. If it is according to your budget, you won't feel so much regret but just a lil bit of pity that some of your funds went for nothing. |

Everything happens for some reason. With gambling, self realisation is the one that makes a person stop gambling. Today I lost what I earned last week, which is really bad. I make myself strong not to gamble anymore for the month as I've spend what I can afford. If I wasn't able to keep myself in control and keep on gambling and losing more it is addiction and shows that I was out of self control and needs support to stop my gambling activities.
And that means, we always need to check ourself when it comes to this activity. Are we doing good, or in the brink of addiction? If you think you are in deep trouble, change your habits as soon as you can. Also, to minimize the trouble that you are in, as much as possible allot certain amount that you can use to gamble. In that manner, you only know how much you can spend with your games, and if you go beyond such amount, you know for yourself, you are about to get in trouble. Rectify your situation as early as you can, otherwise, once you go deep, would be hard to contain. Self-discipline is your enemy here, not the casino nor other players, but yourself. So look after yourself, because, no one will. |
