Betting on live matches is a bit more common 'coz for gamblers in sportsbetting given that they would have more basis of which team would be more likely to win however there's really not that much of assurance. Anything could happen in an instant.  It just so happened that betting prior to games could give you a  more valid bet. But my friend did experience such things before wherein he tried betting during the game and odds dramatically decreased in no time which caused him a lot. You could be lucky enough to win continuously which is also why it will never be advisable to put everything on a single bet no matter how confident you are of it. Anything could happen in a match and even underdogs are sometimes winning over the in favor.
782  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 23, 2023, 06:16:42 PM
Well yes, that's how advertisement works. They won't be called influencers in the first place for nothing.
Especially to non-gamblers and those who are already curious. Audiences could get their interest up bu watching the streams simply because they are getting idea of how things do really work and what it seems to be in such or particular gambling platform. Giving audiences insights is like giving them a tour of something. But on my end, I never based on streamers to why I am here. I did my own readings on which platform would be worthy of investing my time and money. Articles do helped me but streamers just gives me a biased impression given that they won't advertise it without any amount being involved. It also seems to be scripted seeing some of them winning continuously 'coz that's impossible on a normal basis especially to this activity. They are more likely showing how easy it is to win simply because they aim to persuade their audience towards their promotion.
783  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do casino owners benefit from creating multiple casinos? on: December 22, 2023, 08:35:31 PM
Thru scaling.
More sites means more gamblers to play. Why? If they had a bad impression with site number one, you can still regain them with site number two.  You could also be a sportsbook alone and another gambling casino alone. You may offer bigger rewards than with your other platforms for players to consider it more but in fact, things are still under your platform.
I have noticed that there are multiple casinos in the crypto space owned by the same person or company. I am curious about the reasons behind creating additional casinos when there is already a running and profitable one.

How does this practice contribute to their business? It seems illogical as it might increase operating expenses without an obvious benefit.

Gamblers, any thoughts on this?
There are many casinos, right? Thousands of them. There we have Stake, Sportsbet, LiveCasino, Freebitco and so on. Each of them have their own loyal customers despite the fact that some people think Stake is the best, some think Sportsbet is the best and so on. Paddy Power is a very good example, they own many casinos but these casinos, each of them, have unique UI, unique promotions, unique marketing, unique attitude towards customers. It's like, having 8 types of customers and creating 8 product for each of them because you can't create universal product that will fulfill the requirements of 8 different person.
Players most of the time are not sticking to a single site alone to bet. Some are having superstitions that they might be more lucky using other gambling sites and if you happen catch them with your other gambling site, then that's a win for the trade name. There's also a tendency for some gambling site owners who has multiple platforms to be using it as bait before he fly to other and more players.
784  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I ask for refund if casino game has bugs? on: December 22, 2023, 06:56:38 PM
all games in the casino are man-made which may have bugs that are beyond the expectations of the casino as the game provider. if we as gamblers find bugs that have caused us losses, we can report it to the casino and so they can provide a refund for the losses they have caused from these bugs.

the process is not too complicated if we provide a detailed explanation and strong evidence to support our statement. especially if the online casino is reputable and has many users, usually they will immediately give a refund or even a compensation bonus because we have found the bug and reported it to them.
Developers are indeed behind gambling sites and bugs would really appear as the website grows however, it shouldn't be normalized. Gambling providers and platforms are and should be responsible of overall user experience maintenance. However if it is with refund concerning transaction issue, it should be discussed with the team, and with proofs of course as expected to be asked. If you are in a good gambling site then there'll be a refund but in most instances it won't be in an instant; there'll be procedures of checking the transaction on both ends. But again, it depends to the platform 'coz in some instances they are unresponsive with such concerns. Quite unfortunate and really unfair for players who are just doing their thing. Gambling sites should be aware of such tendency and should have known the best thing to do with such cases.
785  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I'm after a gambling site for ufc betting that accepts bitcoin on: December 22, 2023, 12:05:51 PM
As far as I know, bcgames, stakes, cloudbet, winz.io, and sportsbet.io are crypto gambling companies that accept Bitcoin. But of course, this is all I know. However, it's better to do your own research to find out, right?

Why bitcoin? Is this the one you want to use to compare, so that if you get lucky, you will also be paid in bitcoin for playing the betting games on the platforms I mentioned? Good luck to you anyway Wink
There are many reputable sportsbook in this industry and it is just us who will be making a choice which one should we engage ourselves with. In terms of mode of payment whether it is BTC or not, Bitcoin has its advantage indeed 'coz its market price is currently pushing upward but it also has its downsides; higher fees for sure and risk of course if ever a dump would take place. UFC fights is one of the common sports being offered to a gambling site or sportsbook which means that if that's only the criteria he's looking for then it would be easy. When it comes to overall trustworthiness, we don't really have the assurance 'coz if it is general definition of tendency, then there are trusted platforms which eventually became a fraud even those which are being advertised by some influencers. So never let your guard down; you may still engage to ones with great reputation but never go all in just to avoid the slightest chance of being scammed and be left with nothing at the end of the day.
786  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: December 21, 2023, 06:18:41 PM
Here are two things to take note of before gambling
1.have a budget:it's very crucial to set a budget, decide how much money you are comfortable spending on gambling
Always stake what you can afford to lose. Have a limit and stick to it, doing it this way wouldn't put you under
Pressure and anxiety
2.Take breaks:This is a very important point..gambling can be very addicting especially when we start excepting a lot from it
From the first point I made I said you should always stake what you can afford to lose but it's important to
Take regular breaks especially when your losses are more than your wins.give yourself time to recover cause it's all about maintaining a healthy balance...I hope this helps someone out there
Should be in gambling discussion board.
Well, basically being responsible to anything won't do you any harm. Being responsible means you are aware of what you are doing and that will give you a prior solution to a problem which is addiction. Determining your allotted budget and taking a pause, are two baseline knowledge to be used on things which involve risk. Would be helpful indeed however, it won't be easy as it sounds. These things require self discipline and as we all know, not all people have it; if we do have it, then all people should be rich by now. Self-discipline means one's initiative should be present. You can name all the ideal characteristic a gambler should have but not all people has the initiative to set such limit to themselves.
787  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Michael Jordan a gambling addict ? on: December 21, 2023, 04:53:44 PM
Did he admit he is an addict?

If not, then he isn't a gambling addict. I don't know if gambling addiction could also be a positive thing, because we can be on a scenario that we are making a lot of money in gambling and we are getting addicted to it, and people who sees us that we are going to the casinos all the time believe we are addict, but personally I feel like I'm okay being judge and called as gambling addict.

In the case of MJ (The GOAT), I'm sure he isn't addict in gambling, he just have a lot of money that he wants to throw to get entetained, that's it, nothing more, nothing less.

I knew a retired NBA player which which reportedly addicted to gambling, and that is Charles Barkley, but never heard MJ gets reported before.
Not admit but diagnosed with such condition. Addiction is not something which usually comes to the awareness of the gambler or an individual. Not because a gambler is betting unbelievably huge amount means that he's addicted in an instant. There are criteria to consider when determining whether a person is addicted to something also with how the individual is affected with that obsession. Some people are just betting huge amount simply because that's their financial capacity of doing so. Likewise with Drake's betting habit if you guys are familiar. That man is also losing huge amount of money in a singlet bet but did we see him cry over it? Not because he is gambling for a long time means he's addicted to this activity.I view it more as an activity which he enjoys. It even seem that he's managing his bankroll in a better manner, 'coz it's been so long since he engaged with gambling activities.
788  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: December 20, 2023, 12:56:56 PM
I have never really been a person who cares about the design aspect of software as much as I favor a fully functional, easy-to-use, and bug-free platform. An online casino that looks good but functions badly is of no use to me. I am interested in sports betting, and if the odds are higher than what I can find locally in my neighborhood, that's all I care about. I am not that into casino games, but they are all basically the same, no matter how the site looks.   
Yes but how the site would be presented, could reflect to how well they give importance to their users. If they are giving efforts to smallest details, then they're more likely to put effort as well with concerns in the long run for their platform. Being minimalist is different from being uninspired. Aside from its appearance, another thing that matters is their credibility to be trusted given that money is involved and it is not solely experience and time which will be wasted if things will get out of hand. There are many platforms to choose from; with different designs and with different offers. Appearance of the platform might be disregarded by some but it is the first thing to give us an impression, therefore it should be also considered.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 20, 2023, 11:24:53 AM
Will be more frustrating first than addictive. Addiction origins from satisfaction however, the idea is to keep on staking or betting until you win. Once you experience winning and realizing that loss is still bigger or even if his journey became profitable already, there will be a sensation to again bet endlessly, then that would be the time it will be a cycle. Not advisable but works to some people especially those who have large bankroll with proper management. As long as bets are controlled, this strategy could be pulled fine. But if greed will take place along with each bets, you'd be blown by loss and huge debt first before hitting that win and without assurance of a bigger amount than what you have lost.

Quite with the same idea of martingale strategy, but more of a 'free' approach. But I will never agree on taking a loan and just continue betting. You'd be in huge debt for sure and if luck will not still be there, you'd be forced to stop by financial capacity. Nothing's assured no matter how hard you wish of winning and getting back with the money you have lost. Which is why focusing how to manage your bankroll and limit your bets, will be more helpful in the long run that pushing our lucks 'til luck take place.
790  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you remember when Twitch banned gambling? Now they allow nudity! on: December 19, 2023, 08:13:37 PM
Not a long time ago, we had a lot of news and discussions on this forum about Twitch platform censoring gambling lives and content, due to their decision to keep the social media "family friendly".

Ironically, now artistic nudity is allowed (And who is going to define the limit between what is artistic and what is pornography?)!

Shame on those who think that gambling is what will mislead the people from being responsible in life and shift their focus on concentrating on what is important to their lives, many have castigated gambling for the past and now allow for the worst which is nudity, in life, we sometimes create time for the less important things leaving the most important ones behind because we loosed focus along the way forgetting that no one is perfect in life, these same people fighting against gambling and now watching their children doing it and also paving way for immoralities which is worst than gambling.
Well, exposure is the root cause of those problems. We cannot do anything from people who negatively views this industry with terminologies and such. Indeed it is not gambling which pushes a gambler to go all out but the gambler's emotion. However, self-discipline does not take place in a single instance and there should be still a learning procedures which contributes to the negative outcome. Problem only is that gambling industry;wherein there are people who negatively views crypto and gambling investments. Same with platforms wherein they tend to agree with what's mainstream.

Quite unfair also with the platforms.they are sometimes too selective on which one should be promoted or shown to daty.
791  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has gambling ever whispered you with different strategic prediction measures? on: December 19, 2023, 02:00:59 PM
Since gambling is most based on luck, who else has ever wanted to set your eyes close while you hits the slot or taking your predictions with the believe that.... "Your eye sight has failed you in number of times at when believing that taking your time and plays according to your heart desired based on sights satisfactories was to be the best for you"
Then probably sometimes you want to try a new trick by closing your eyes while picking your predictions or hitting the slots.
Caused by frustration right? We gamble with analysis no matter what basis we are having but since nothing guarantees victory, we tend to be frustrated of the outcome which pushes us to go be superstitions and hearsays just to win. Nothing's wrong with it actually, but we should keep in mind that it won't determine a winning outcome therefore managing  your bankroll should still be prioritized.

I too have the same thing especially whenever I am closing continuously. I tend to toss a coin whenever I am confused. But most of the time I am taking a pause or break if odds aren't that worthy of taking the risk. Well, I'd prefer not to go against my fortune than to lose a huge amount.
Playing slots doesn't require closing your eyes. You just need to determine the bet amount, press the button and see the results. If you are lucky, you will win some money. But if not, you will lose. That's what will happen next.

Most gamblers who play slots will experience defeat. That will only trigger them to spend more money. Many gamblers still want to try to win slot games or recover their losses. And when we are close to hitting a big multiplier or a free spin, we will continue playing slots in the hope that, on the next spin, we will win some money.

However, the high hopes we have will not guarantee that we can win a certain amount of money from slot games. Luck-based slot games really make us forget about time and money, so we keep playing slots until all the money is gone. We can't try new tricks because slot games require luck. We can only hand it over and wait for the results. That's why we have to control ourselves when playing slots so we don't lose much money.
Yes, the distinction with pure luck based games. It is only luck a gambler could rely on. Likewise with lotteries, dice games, roulettes and more, in these kind of games you would be either using your luck alone or follow beliefs which could (but not assure) increase your chances.
792  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one you are good at? on: December 19, 2023, 04:36:12 AM
Hello! I'd like to pose a question to my fellow gamblers here. Since the topic of sports betting has been gaining attention recently, allow me to ask:

So, the question is... Which are you better at: selecting the right bet or managing your bankroll?

And, how has it been going so far? Are you profitable or not, and why?
I've tried focusing on each of it one at a time. When I just started gambling, I was focused of knowing or determining the right bet but since no matter how good my analysis was, the thing is lack of assurance with the result. In the long run, it would be better to manage your bankroll well. You could win 8/10 bets today and by tomorrow you could be 0/10; it'll be a loss already. But if you have efficient betting strategy concerning the amount you would wager, your winnings yesterday won't be lessen by your losses today. It is a matter of securing your wins especially if you are not really getting a good series of bets.

So in the long run, anticipating the tendency of losing is way better than seeking for that jackpot. Just like with some sports; your defense is your best offense. The idea of being preventive of loss will eventually increase your winnings and that is simply efficiency with our bets.
I will select the right bet for the sake of managing my bankroll. There are times when I have to restrain my desire to bet if I am not sure I can win the bet. For example, in soccer betting, when strong teams such as Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid will fight on the field for victory, I will skip betting on the match for the sake of managing my bankroll.
Waiting is the best decision for me, this is what is called selecting the right bet. When I am sure I can win a bet, I will try to risk some of my money to win, I often do this habit to achieve my betting goals.
Indeed in some instances it is a combination of these two. Sometimes we are too eager to just place a bet even without confidence. It is our way of just seeking for profit (a normal assumption in gambling) but impulsive in a way.
793  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Local Base Or International Based Online Casino on: December 18, 2023, 11:59:37 PM
Currently, I'm mostly using the service of a local online casino since funding my account there is just one click away and they are accepting almost all payment methods here in our country. When using a crypto-gambling site, I need first to fund my account on Binance and then from there, the deposit to the said crypto-gambling site.

In terms of gaming and experience, not that much difference. It's just that it's more convenient to top-up my account on a local gambling site.

These local online gambling sites in our country also finally give us the chance to play Pragmatic Play games which most international-based online gambling sites or crypto-gambling sites don't allow us to play games at that provider since a long time ago.
Difference is mode of payment. If you are a crypto enthusiast, then local gambling providers won't be an option. Fiat is most of the time, the medium in every transaction and that means taxes, and lack of anonymity with the activity. However if they would be able to make a way to adopt this technology then that would be better. With local and international gambling providers, the first distinction is accessibility; atleast with local providers you won't have that much of a problem with it, and that is included with better gambling experience.
794  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 18, 2023, 11:54:38 PM
Is there a way to determine such number? We can only make a biased opinion about it. But if I would be naking my own, I guess there are more gambling "addicts" with pure luck based games such as slots, roulettes, and dice games. One reason is convenience of playing that in these games, they won't require an hour every game unlike with sportsbetting. To compare, you may get too huped with sportsbetting but atleast time would only allow you to play few times due to length of each game. Frequency of playing would more likely hook a gambler towards addiction especially if results are already there within minutes.

Does the CME Gap already filled aroun that price range? As we all know, those gaps are where sudden pull backs occur. The market price of Bitcoin will never be too consistent and continuous whenever it is increasing or decreasing. There will always be inconsistencies on smaller time frames but with a clear direction on bigger ones. I say there is still a chance for its price to fall 30 or under but with the slightest chance of taking place right now given that there is still a huge buying pressing.

Possibly market makers are the one open up a huge liqyidity on it. I like to buy ace too at lower price like 1 or 2$ but its just a split second to seen that price level and become two digits right away. If ever theres a bot that can operate on cex that would be better tool since the volatility is too high.
It did happen to some tokens but we just cannot guarantee that same thing will happen with the other tokens to be listed and introduced.
I know many investors are looking forward to hit gem token and to earn huge amount upon its listing but it just happened to not be guaranteed and that there are instances that new tokens' market value are falling upon its release.

Opportunities should also be widened in order to diversify manpower and to be able to release bigger amount of money as their salary.  As others have mentioned, government is not the only factor to consider when choosing the 'right' wage on each profession? It also covers overall health of the economy. Yes they are a facor but things just don't work more than what it was as before. They could only approve proposal of meetings if they would want go explore more of it.
798  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The future of Bitcoin as digital currency on: December 18, 2023, 05:01:44 PM
I don't support such viewpoint concerning too much optimism towards this industry. Well, indeed we would be seeing its potential but as long as nothing is guaranteed, be careful of your actions at all times and at all instances.Bitcoin and crypto in general is a huge token industry. Bitcoin is sinpky a digital currency, how come it would change lives? How come it would save lives of families. There's more for this industry but we should know that things do take time and things won't happen in an instant. Let us all be patient of the progress itself.
799  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoins and other cryptos will never become mainstream before... on: December 18, 2023, 04:04:24 PM
Not all of the world's population needs to use Bitcoin, and if 5% of the population and 5% of companies use Bitcoin, I think we will reach an acceptable level of prediction such that there is no need to convert Bitcoin into dollars and the possibility of using it to make purchases for most needs due to the availability of the level of acceptance.

Five percent is too small, this means you will hardly finds a place or an organization that accepts bitcoin before you can be able to spend it, bitcoin is already getting to that stage, very gradually we are moving to be the mainstream of making payments, we many still have to use them both for now till that time arrived whereby we don't need any other means of making payments than bitcoin and exchange of this same digital currency into fiat may not be needed as before since it would have turned the mainstream global currency.
Difference is with the way we are using it. If it is with mode of payment, then there's only a small percentage where it is being used as it is. Bitcoin and other cryptos are widely used as an asset or an investment and there's nothing really bad about it. With its wide acceptance, there'll be more years to come before its total acceptance. It is now known by many but there is a mix of impression towards this technology and we should wait further for improvements on such viewpoint. Global currency on the other hand is something.

If you are generating your own seed phrases, stamping into metal, and storing it somewhere safe, you have the highest level of security that an average person can reasonably have.
As far as storing things in a safe lace goes, getting to stamp your seed phrase on metals and all that, it doesn’t really seem like the best of ideas to security for me. Yeah, it might ensure that it never gets lost, washed up, have some wear and tear taking it’s strolls on it but, you might end up presenting it’s importance to just anyone that could come across it at first glance. That’s in the event of any invading of your safe spot of course.

I think some of the ideas to making something relatively safe is by making it as common as it would seem to anyone. In a way, it could be something that would be less attractive and can be handled anyone by someone who wouldn’t even know the value attached to that which is before them on in their possession.
This doesn’t mean you don’t keep it in a safe place, of course you would put it away in some place safe but, I don’t think you have to make it look so important.
That is why there is not method that is absolutely perfect to secure our coins, if that was the case then every single one of us will be using that method already, we need need to take into account a lot of factors when deciding which solution is the best for us, and while stamping our seed words on a piece of metal to secure it against many dangers, it is also true that it makes our seed words more susceptible to be thought as important to any thief that may enter our house, and if they know anything about this market they could easily steal our coins.
We do get the idea of putting our seed phrases safe but there are just instances wherein in some instances even if you avoid the don'ts you'd be still a victim by chance. Point here is to be more vigilant of your wallets. On the other hand, there are many users here in this industry for years who haven't encountered any problem with such concern. I too myself, fortunately never experienced problems with wallet private keys. So maybe, being preventive could guarantee securitu over your funds. FOMOs just take place which causes panic to some users. At the end of the day, isolated cases of hacking related stories won't give us assurance of the details on which should be specifically avoided unless it happened to us on the actual.
