I don't think there will be any strategy for such high volatility games as obviously it's luck based. But for me, I will try to used the buy bonus for such high volatility games, instead of playing it like normal wherein I need to spend big money or for how many spins I have to make just to get the bonus rounds.

Buying bonus is like a short-cut and testing your luck for that day without putting too much pressure on your end. I mean, what if you win big? then maybe you can just exit and logout and withdraw and for sure you will be happy. Same with losing, just think of it as not your lucky day.

And at the end, the best strategy is to just play with the money that you can afford to lose.

Yes, I don't think that we should trust this tools, it might help us in other aspects in life, but to say that we are going to rely on it to say what the price will be at least at the end of the year? doesn't make sense at all.

Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the prediction of what will be the price at the end of the year is around $40,000-50,000. It might coincide with what the AI might say, but we have this at the middle of the year already. The data that the AI might be getting is what we have been seeing all alone.

So with or without AI, I will stick with my personal prediction. It could be a hit or miss though, but I didn't rely on some bots or AI tools to make that prediction for me.

Yeah, there are gamblers who play for fun and to be entertained, and there are to win money. But this is based on my experienced, I suddenly stop gambling when many years ago, I suddenly lost my job and I don't have enough money to save in the bank to survived. So obviously, I will have to prioritized things with the little money I got in my pocket that time.

So I just quit gambling because of that circumstances, and then I try to apply as soon as I can to have money so that I can bring food in the table for my family. That is the only thing in my mind that time. It was a learning experienced for me though. When I was able to get back and start working, I suddenly lose my enthusiasm to play or at least minimized the budget for my gambling activities.

Not sure how long your friend is trading though, maybe he doesn't have that experienced, or maybe he is just unlucky on what altcoins he is trading. Maybe he should stick to Bitcoin though as we all know that altcoins is more volatile so it's hard to make money out of it as in just matter of hours, it could flip.


Yeah, just stick to couple of them and see how it goes. Bitcoin could be a good practice for him specially if he is a beginner in trading. And just like what I said previously, trading is not for everyone. It might take years for others to make great money as it will take a lot of time in your part to learn this craft. So he might reset everything and see where his mistakes.

Yeah, maybe we have read success stories here, like winning big or let's say in sports betting wherein you hit a good parlay and x100 or higher. But there are also horror stories wherein someone could have lost a big amount of money that is supposedly to be used for something important but the gambler chooses to take a big risk. So it's really up to us whether to listen from that stories and then learn a thing or two.


Of course you should learn how to mitigate risk as well and not just bet all your money. That's why the advise is just play with the money that you can afford to lose and just enjoy and be entertained. If you are lucky then good for you. But gambling is not something that you can really depend or rely upon as far as making like money to bring food in the table for your family. You need self control and not be carried away, and on worst case scenario, be a gambling addict.

It could still be considered as bullish though if we reach around $40,000 at the end of the year. The lowest price that we got is $15,500 last year. So that is a big increased in the price already if we touch based like $35,000-$40,000.


It's really difficult if we look at the start of the November, for the start of the week though, it seems that there are selling already as we fall from mids $34,000 when we thought that the price will continue to go up and breach at least $36,000.

So many things can still happen in the next week or so at least this November, others say that this could a bull trap. And there are speculations that we might go down to $32,000 before we can go up to $40,000. So many scenarios and we really don't know where the price will move at the end of this month or even this 2023.

It's very difficult to see how it will affect addicted gamblers though, I mean in gambling there could be a lot of reasons why individuals became addicted though and that should be the point of attack to make them quit. It could be that in the beginning, this individuals just wanted to feel what gambling is, and so we say that we gamble for fun and entertainment. But it can go backfire in the long run and become addicted gamblers. There are also who want to escape from their depression, thus gambling for hours just to forgot their problems.

So it might not be an effective method to have this graphic content and images to show what will be the effect of gambling as everyone has his and her reasons to gamble. So there's no one size fits all strategy. Still up to the person to quit and stop gambling and it could be better if they are going to seek professional help to stop.

I don't know, but as a boxing fan, I wouldn't cash out early though, I wanted to see the upset being completed by the boxer, in this case, Prograis and then earlier we have a good fight in Ngannou vs Fury and we always got the win if not for those controversial score by the judges, (but it has been discussed already on it's own thread and it's very highly contested subject.)

So for me and to make the fight more exciting as we watch it, no early cashing out, if I lose my bet, that's it, no regrets whatsoever. At least you can see that the fight is really that good and you have a chance to win big money and that is the risk that you understand when you bet on the underdog.

I guess it is to be expected, specially when a new technology like Bitcoin comes along as it is the first time that we have witnessed crypto (although we have something prior and it gave Satoshi his inspiration). And with that, it's human nature to be afraid of what's new as we resists change, specially the fiat and the banking system. They see crypto more of a threat, but for us it's a alternative.

And Bitcoin is still fairly young to begin with, so there is going to be a learning curved, and there will be negative things that we will here from it's detractors specially in 2017 when it was one of the best year for Bitcoin as people around the world was very curious at the same time there are a lot of attacks. Nevertheless, we will continue to march in the next 10 years or so and I don't think that those misinformation will be enough to stop this revolution.

I think not only TV subscriptions, but there could be ways not just for you but for others to cut their cost as we all know that everything now is very expensive. Even going to cinema or going out to eat or even gambling habits could be eliminated or at least be minimized to a certain extend and then put that money to invest in Bitcoin or any other assets for that matter.

And I think it's no secret though, we have heard this from successful investors, first they pay off their debts, and not cut their living cost and they call it delayed gratification. So you have to take a lot of sacrifices if you want to be a investor and doesn't have that big capital to begin with.

It's going to be boring for the majority of us, but we should prioritized thing and make the right decision, not just for us, but for our families as well.

If we look though at the past history of Bitcoin, it seems that you are correct, last quarter of the year is very big for us as maybe one reason is that everyone is preparing for the block halving and so we think that they are buying as the price is still very cheap at this point. Halving is still next year, but it's better if we are going to invest like 5 - 6 months before the actual date.

So for know I think that is the mentality of most investors, specially long term, they look past this year and wanted to be ready for the next bull run in the next 2 years. But for shor term investors, they might want to sell some when the price reaches $40k-$50k at the end of the year to make profits.

Definitely, win-win situation for everyone, regardless of what is their goal in the market. They have just to be smart on when to sell and then when to reinvest.

I think that's what the OP is trying to say here, in Stake you will see the bet of others gamblers, unless they want to make their account private. Buti in any case, you might want to try this strategy and see how it fits you. Yes there is risk, but what are the chances that you suddenly copy a gambler with a huge bet odds like 500x-1000x and then won? That will be the best feeling of a gambler and you will have to thank that individual for giving you that win.

But then again, it's not always going to work your way, still base on luck. So yeah, maybe for some at least try it once and see how it goes for you. Just a little money wouldn't hurt us, IMHO.

Maybe as a senior and widowed, perhaps he is just enjoying his life? And it seems from the way you portray him, he is rich with just a house helper with him all the time. So he can pay that house helper to be with him and so maybe he has nothing to do in his everyday life. His children are no longer with him, so just imagine you were like in the 70's and you are alone then of course you will think of some ways and maybe gambling is his escape in the last remaining days of his life.


Very hard to advise mate, it's really up to you. Maybe you can tell his children in a nice way about their parents playing and that your concern is that he might turn into a gambling addict, simply as that. So it's really up to them on how they are going to react, if they are professionals already maybe they know what is up already or perhaps they have an idea that their father is already on gambling.

Not sure though if these casinos are willing because it's going to affect them, business wise. I think for me the initiative should come from the government themselves. But in any case, maybe there are also some well known casinos who are directly giving money to the government to create those sites to help their population. It might not be known to us, but with the casinos making huge money and government somewhat putting pressures on them and work hand in hand, yeah there might a good way for the casinos to show their support.

They've already have this kind of "gambling responsible" program or self-exclusion, I see this from online and traditional based casinos already.

You can put it that way, it's kinda giving back to the community and help those who become addicted to gambling. But then again, it's going to be cyclical as gamblers are born like every minute or at least someone is trying to get their hands on gambling.

We did have a fight this weekends with Cordina vs Edward Vazquez. I wouldn't say it's a good fight but Cordina is the huge favorite here and I thought that he is going to knockout Vazquez. However, the fight lasted the full 12 rounds and won on a majority decision and retained his IBF super featherweight.

This is Cordina's second reign as he was stripped in 2022 because he had a injury and can't defend his belt.

And this is good because next we will see Navarette fighting Conceição in the undercard of Stevenson vs Delos Santos. Most likely the winner could face Cordina for the unification fight and it could be very exciting.

I guess there's no difference at all in my opinion, everyone connects spirituality with religion because we can't discuss one without mentioning the others. So in this context, I believed that the OP is talking about a supreme being regardless of what religion we have and asking everyone if there is such a connection.

Of course some of us here might not believed in God so it's a moot point for them. There is no cause and effect, everything happen to us because of the result of what we do in life including gambling. But for those who are into religion and let's say a practicing Christian or Catholic, of course, it's a sin and we should get God involved in our gambling and ask for his divine assistance because it will not happen. Gambling is still base on luck and risk.

Times has really change isn't it, I remember way back when we can't watch the fight live and it's always delayed in our country. The only way to known the score is to tune in in the old and traditional way, radio.

As for this fight, yeah, it's a bit controversial as many have thought that Ngannou won the fight specially he scored that knockdown to make the score 10-8. But it was just one round and there are a lot of rounds that is very close hard to score. But as we all know, usually if that is the case, the judges are going to award the score to the champion, so here, that is why the score or at least 2 of the judges saw it for Fury.

But if Ngannou wanted to proved himself, he just have to wait, for sure there are boxers that is willing to fight him, not just those in the top, but maybe in the top 5-10 because it's a win-win situation, they will get to test how good Francis really is, and obviously the money that they are going to get fighting one of the most hype boxers right now.

True, I mean in the pandemic, we have seen a lot of crypto based gambling suddenly popping out in our community and up to this day they are still in the mix and the competition are very tough as they wanted to take a big slice on this billion dollar industry. So once in a while we will see new casinos, unlike land base wherein we haven't heard any new one because just the cost of establishing one is billion dollar and it might take years before they can get a decent ROI.

So definitely competition is here and I will not be surprised if crypto based will be on the top of the game right now. Maybe the OP is right that crypto gamblers are not that easily trick because of the way we wanted to play in this casinos, we looks for trust and reputation before we will deposit some money and play with.

The sentiments has really shifted, and now we are in a bullish state, and so just recently we have seen the price going above $35,000 so that is a good sign that this November, we might see the continuation of the bullishness that we have in October. Just imagine the spike, from $28k-$35.

And then from the lowest low last year same time, of $15,500 to the current price. And if I'm not mistaken that is a big $127% spike already.

So this is just the beginning, this November might be another great month for us, and we might see $40,000 for the first time this cycle.

Not to burst the bubble to the OP, but that's how everyone here started, from small capital and low budget and we say that we are in control of everything and that we will not get addicted. But years later, down the road, we become addicted to it, regardless if you are a sports bettor or play any other games like slot machines etc.

Of course everyone will be affected in real life, specially as I have said, if you become addicted to it. But we can't advise you not to gamble as we all have gambling signatures here. The best thing to do is just have control and that is the only advise that we can give to you.
