81  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: China crackdown against gambling streaming on: September 01, 2023, 08:25:42 PM
China is one of the leading industries after US and the decisions they make have a global effect. For example, when they say that they will ban Bitcoin, this has a negative effect across crypto markets globally and not just China. Will this gambling ban affect the overall gambling business worldwide? That is yet to be seen.

Now that Chinese Content Platforms Reportedly Exclude Live Streaming Features, this has caused the revenue decreased in those platforms. It is obvious that if you block gambling streaming, then those people won't use that platform if they were using it previously to watch those streams.

Also, the Chinese were very keen to block the illegal gambling platforms and they also block payments in millions from those gambling casinos.
What I know is that gambling is already restricted in China, so if this new law only applies to some forms of gambling in their country, then the effect is not going to be massive. China is still strong even after this news because they still have other sources to generate a revenue, and those said streaming platforms can still allow other contents. I have no problem with illegal gambling being blocked because this could mean that those gambling companies are not paying their tax well. This is one of the risk operating an illegal business or using their service if you are a customer because your money can get stuck on them once they got busted out by the authorities.
82  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Young people should take more advantage of the crypto space. on: September 01, 2023, 07:28:04 PM
This industry is promising in the future and is already profitable at the present. Also, the idea of investment should really be one of the practices our youth should be doing for a better life 'coz it sucks just being an employee and just relying wiyh salary alone.
A lot of young people are actually already involved in crypto, we even have threads here which concerns more about the mature people to join crypto or if they still have the ability to participate on it. Other than being an asset, people should also focus more on using their cryptos more often because this is it's original purpose and it can gain more recognition if we do, which is beneficial if we also invest on them. Regrets are are like a mistake.

It can taught us a lesson and it's up to us if we will change only to not experience the same mistakes and regrets again. The youth are actually courageous to take risks or larger steps but of course it's always better to take things slowly. As they say, we should not underestimate the power of baby steps.

If someone told you a guaranteed sports bet that had a 100% chance of winning, how much would you bet on it?

If you had a $10,000 bankroll, would you go all in? We’re talking 100% can’t lose bet.

Would you take out a loan? How would you go about acquiring a large sum of money if you didn’t have the capital.

Let’s say the match is starting 24 hours from now, what would be your plan to maximize your profit?
Hmm so this sound like a match-fixing? But after I verify that it's legit, of course I will bet most of my money and I can even sell my house and everything only for it. I will also borrow money because happenings like this can be once in a lifetime only so I should use all of my chances now.

I'm not a selfish type of a person so I will  spread the word to my family, relatives, and friends so that they can make a quick profit as well. I know you OP, you are the guy who likes to bet huge and you also win most of your games. It looks like you are serious with this one huh? But maybe you can share the blessings with us here? Come on don't be shy Grin .
84  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket Asia Cup 2023! Which team will WIN? on: September 01, 2023, 12:09:46 PM
Never expected Bangladesh to play so badly against Srilanka. Pathirana I guess was exceptionally good yesterday. The fielding of Srilankan players were spot on. They were able to suffocate Bongs batter from the first over. 164 is not an ideal target for a ODI and that too in a tournament. Srilankan batters were not that good too, it was evident they were struggling on that pitch. It took them 39 overs and 5 wickets to chase such a small target.

Well.. Sri Lanka no longer have Sanath Jayasuriya, Mahela Jayawardene or Kumar Sangakkara in their batting lineup. They are dependent on players like Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis. And actually the Bangladeshis bowled well yesterday. Shakib al Hasan returned figures of 10-2-29-2. If other spinners such as Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mahedi Hasan had given a bit more support from the other end, then the outcome would have been much closer. Anyway, these two are the strongest teams in Group B, and it is going to be a big challenge for Afghanistan to secure qualification to Super-4.
Sri Lankan is always having good players even now their quality is going down but still they are one of the best team in Asia with current available sources and their performance against Bangladesh was not bad at all with visitors are struggling in batting and not able to have enough runs on board with helps their bowlers for doing their best just Shanto alone done some resistance all others gone due to bad shorts selection which needs improvement but still after having 164 their bowlers done good job and take early wickets, but Sri Lanka was better team with good home advantage as well they reached to target in 39 overs and secure their first win this event.

After this win most chances their spot is fixed in super four and second could be from the Afghanistan vs Bangladesh winner where I am supporting Bangladesh because they are having better batting then Afghanistan.
85  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: September 01, 2023, 08:39:39 AM
Yesterday's game between England and New Zealand seemed to have lost rhythm in the New Zealand team. They are completely broken. They could not resist in any way against the rival England. New Zealand scored only 139 runs which is not a big score for England team. Against England team, it is almost difficult for New Zealand to win the match unless the score is above 180. Everyone except Glenn Phillips and Finn Allen in the New Zealand team had very low scores which resulted in a win for England. In the second T20 match, New Zealand will certainly try to build resistance.
Yesterday's both T20I games give us better view of future's impressive teams because from these matches we can understand England and Australia are preparing for the future and things are going into their favor as their top quality batting and bowling allow them better advantage and luxury for enjoying in this format which is future of the cricket as well.

Australia completely outclass South Africa at Durban, and they have no answers of questions which asked by Australian captain and their new generation players with England is also dominating against struggling New Zealand which is completely down and out of the game even they are also having few exciting young players.

South Africa needs to bring players on merit instead of color which is killing their game and many exciting players as well because many colored players are still not good enough for having spot into the team, but they are coming just because of this new selection policy.

Today these 4 teams are clashing again and I am wagering on home teams today as I expect a sharp bounce back from South Africa tonight.
86  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: August 31, 2023, 04:08:16 PM
Gambling can bring great revenue to the governments but I don't see any benefits to the societies,in fact it can only bring really bad things,like in the country where I live from some years where at a certain time a lot of people became addicted in the sense that they could not stay without gambling and they were spending money they could not afford to lose like money they get for food and other important money.At a certain point the government intervened and ban all of the offline gambling while letting only online ones,a few to play,so I don't see any other benefits except taxes to the government while for society can have more harm than benefit.
Gambling is able to generate revenue for many countries where gambling is legal but not for all countries.  Because in the country where a gambling is conducted gamblers lose when they gamble. then the money goes to that country.  People from all over the world gamble especially in online casinos. So the money of different countries goes to that country. It may play an important role for that country but not for the society. Gambling perversely destroys a society.
I think not many countries but maybe only those countries who said to be a gambling capital like Las Vegas, Macau, and others which I already forgot. Aside from the government or country, it can also generate an income to the gambler itself if they are lucky and skillful.

There are reasons on why a country can ban gambling, it could be because of their religion or there are lots of people who are addicted to it already on their own country. Even the money can go the development of a country, government are still doing the right thing. They can't help seeing their people destroy their lives only because of gambling. I salute these types of governments.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How late is too late to place a bet for a gambler? on: August 31, 2023, 02:12:19 PM
In order not to over stretch this topic, I just want us to dialogue candidly on your personal experience as to the one time you were so late in making a bet, but had to do it anyways.
 Did that last minute bet make you win or you lost more and regretted the decision?

How late is too late to place a bet or make a wager in both online and offline games and matches?

Are there also good online platforms or betting sites that have good last minute betting options for matches/games?
You know when it's too late if you can not place your bets anymore. And I think the main reason on why a gambler can bet late is because the odds have adjusted dramatically and they can now have a better judgement if which they think are the teams that can win. Other than that, is they are busy and almost forgot or didn't noticed that their is a game that is going to happen.

Based on my personal experience, I am more lucky when I entered late, not only specific on sports betting, but also on giveaways, contests, etc.. . It's the same as we didn't expect to win but we win, while the more we expect to win, we can't just experience a win.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Glitches still affects online casinos? Or it's the casinos that sucks on: August 31, 2023, 12:48:49 PM
I have experienced this, when at that time I was playing slots and at the 150th spin the game started to freeze and could not be clicked. I tried various ways to get the game running again, but it couldn't and I finally reloaded the tab. How unlucky I am that the reward that has been collected is not there, but my coins have been used, and when looking at the history it doesn't show that I have played. I tried to contact customer support but there was nothing they could do. Since that day I stopped playing on the platform and left a bad review on Trustpilot.
Maybe you can share the name of that platform? So that we can avoid it too because we are afraid that we can come across it one day or we are already playing on it, and we could get involved in the same mess. I know I only play small amount but losing it for a weird reason seems painful, most especially if you are already winning a lot.

Before, I do also experienced that my game are freezing but it's not worse as you guys experience since I haven't made a bet yet and the balance are still intact after I reload the page. My suspicion is it's because of my internet since the signal in my area is not that good enough. It doesn't stop from playing though up until now.
89  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How long can Bitcoin out perform inflation in the long run? on: August 31, 2023, 09:11:23 AM
The power of storing value makes bitcoin one of the best investments today and it is for that reason that people prefer to take advantage of long term investments when involved in investing. Not for the reason that buying bitcoin is a little higher than the current price, because if that's the reason, we can sell when the price increase is a little bigger than the initial purchase capital. At least that's what I understand why bitcoin is one of the best investments in the long term and other advantages may be because of its value which never depreciates at any time.

More precisely take long-term steps for investments made in bitcoin and continue to use patterns that can increase the amount of ownership of our assets in bitcoin, be it using DCA patterns or any method that can be utilized, because if you wish to buy to increase the amount of ownership after profits then we're going through a good period of accumulating.
DCA is definitely one I would highly suggest as well, it is one that helps everyone out and it does turn out to be something that people could enjoy as well. I know that it is not going to be that much of a great thing just yet, but it is definitely a decent one without a doubt. Remember that it is going to end up with a result that will not be properly used like that, and we could just consider this to be something to care about if we do not have a lot of money right now but have an income.

If you do not have a lot of capital to invest right now but do have an income every month, just put in at least 10% (but more if you can) into bitcoin and then eventually it will end up doing a lot better on the long term because you DCA naturally.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: August 30, 2023, 08:50:03 PM
the moral lesson here is that , We must understand that Luck mostly Knocks once ,so if ever that we gather that wins then best to forget our winning and live with simple but long life.
never believe that this is forever because money can be gone in glimpse of an eye, in which many of us are already experienced ,  maybe not in gambling but in real life.
i once earned best and better weekly salary but I abused that opportunity and now? back to normal payments.
let us see how much importance of that winning because it is once in a million chance mate.
I think "mostly" and "once" are contradictory to each other, but maybe it depends on the opportunity that is involved. If let say it's about winning a major prize in a standard lottery game, then it may only knock once, since we know that the odds here are crazily high. While if it's about another game and we only want to win a normal prize, luck can knock many times there as long as you play often.

Big wins are hard to forget, but I think we are forced to do it if we spend the money recklessly in unnecessary things and then we end up with nothing later on. I still believe that money ( even if it's small ) won't ran out quickly as long as you know how to budget it.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: August 30, 2023, 07:28:56 PM
the risk is that we are tempted to gamble, well, some well-known gambling websites certainly have security that can be trusted, but that will still disappear, we can't control it to continue to be indiscriminate. but my suggestion is better to keep it somewhere like personal ethereum wallet or exchange (if it's not too big).
I think he won't ask or think of it, if he knows that he can not control himself to gamble. Security won't just disappear just like that. Maybe a good hacker can access it but gambling sites will always try their best to fix and tighten it. You have no control about the security of a gambling site but you are free to pull out your funds if you feel that they are not secure anymore. For our safety we can do what you have said which is to keep our coins in our personal wallet.

It doesn't need to be an Ethereum wallet but indeed that most Ethereum wallets are non-custodial or we can have our own private keys. However, I don't recommend storing our money inside the exchange, as it is not different to storing our money inside a gambling site. But if the money isn't that huge, then I think it's fine or it's not a big deal at all, in case we lose it.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: August 30, 2023, 06:20:01 PM
Op, you want to claim, that after you have some series of wins, the casino turns some gears in game engine and you start to lose? That if not casino, you would continue winning? I think this is paranoia. Or addicted person kind of mind. I think this is just a coincidence. I dont think your funds turnover in casino is huge, that casino would pay special attention to your person.
Small funds or Big funds, it's important for any business to pay attention to their customers so that they will keep on coming back to it. When I say pay attention, it does not mean that the casino should give him unlimited wins. That's crazy. Even the casino didn't do that to their loyal and big players.

The attention that I mean is about giving them a great service. It can be through a responsive and helpful customer service, generous bonuses, and others.

@OP, you are not alone with that. You are even lucky that you can experience a winning streak. The best thing that you can do is to monitor your next games. If you seem to be unlucky, just don't continue for a while.
93  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY WITH LESS MONEY? on: August 29, 2023, 08:16:00 PM
if we have limited funds and want to get rich quick, or have significant returns, I think we have to be brave enough to be speculators, take higher risks, I do this too. but if I have large capital I think investing is safe like in bitcoin or ethereum, it's enough. therefore a meme coin or a new project provides a great opportunity for us to get a jackpot, but we also have to understand the risks, and analyze them carefully, to reduce prediction errors. I experienced exactly this in 2017, where some of the new altcoins exploded, so I got good results
Speculating alone doesn't require any guts but it was when you elevate it like when you invest after a speculation. It's easy to take big risk when the stake amount is only small but it does make sense because winning on a high-risk play is very hard to pull off.

It may require a lot of trials and errors. If we have a big capital, it's always better to just go with a low or medium risk to increase your chances of making money. Predicting is always hard even for Bitcoin and Ethereum but it's okay in their case because what can make us earn on them is not luck but it's about having a control on one's-self like resisting your emotions when the market is in a bad shape.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket Asia Cup 2023! Which team will WIN? on: August 29, 2023, 06:44:02 PM
Only few hours left for the first match of this tournament to start! How many of you are excited to watch the first match? I am as the first match would be played in Pakistan. Amids all the controversies the first match between Pakistan and Nepal would be an entertaining match for the Pakistani spectators. In any case I am expecting Pakistan to win. Don't know whether they mess up such an easy game, as history and unpredictability has been part of the Pakistani team.
After watching little news channel and social media sites I am feeling there is no excitement in Pakistan about this event because things are going from bad to worse due to domestic issues so most chances we will have not good fans in grounds as well but if they allow free entry then we can expect good number of fans with first match between Pakistan vs Nepal mostly know how things will be gone in this match even Pakistan is unpredictable side with having history of many shocking results most chances there will be not upset in this match with they just won series against Afghanistan which was better team then Nepal.

But, maybe we will have some excitement in next game which will play between India vs Pakistan in Kandy even things are not favorable for the Pakistan but still some fans can go through for this match I am feeling comfortable as ACC decided to host this event in Sri Lanka because if we have this in Pakistan then surely things could be not as we needed for this event.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: August 29, 2023, 05:31:25 PM
A family member reported to me that her eighteen years old son has started gambling. She is not worried that he is gaming but her problem is that he is a student that solely depends on her for everything he needs. Her fear is also that her son might start stealing from her if he has no access to the money he needs to gamble. My relative has even started suspecting that some money she feels was misplaced might have been stolen by her son.

I spoke to my nephew and he told me that he has never stolen from his mother to gamble. And he gambles with only his savings from his weekly stipend he receives from the family. And he won't gamble if he has no savings to do that. From my observation, he is a responsible gambler that is just enjoying the game and making a little money occasionally. The gambling age in my country is 18+, but his mother is insisting that he must stop. What will be your advice for this young boy?
Mothers knows best as they say. I can agree to that because mothers are the ones who can see their children the most. And we don't know maybe her son is only lying to you? A person who steals can do it easily but I think he won't end up stealing if he is not addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction must be the root cause of all of this problem, so this is the one that they should focus on.

Accusing someone without an evidence is still wrong so maybe the mother can install a CCTV first and review it every day to tell if his suspicions are true about his son. Since the son is already 18 years old, maybe he can look for a job. This should support his new habit/hobby and as well as his studies. His parents would be proud of him this way.

Airdrops are sheer waste of time, especially the ones promising rewards beforehand. We are in trend of retrospective airdrops, if you get lucky in one of these, it's different thing.
Maybe it is a total waste of time if you don't follow the tips provided by the OP. Although for a classic/old-school airdrop, you will need a luck because there are not good as before. Classic airdrops are easy to do but if you treat them as a full-time job, then it can also be a waste of time.

You could have used that time on something more guaranteed. You are right that we are now on the era of retrospective airdrops, and I think this one is mostly based on the skill of the user and also to its financial capacity. I was really expecting that the OP will post advance tips because I was intrigued if making 300 dollars a day only from the airdrops are truly possible.

Pakistan is in top form despite a couple of fuckups. India looking good after Bumrah's comeback and mix up with new guys in the squad.
Pakistan-Top form? Come on. They struggled against a team like Afghanistan and almost lost against them on several occasions. They luckily made it to the top of the ODI leaderboard.

Also, India is definitely not looking good since they are clearly over-dependent on their senior players(Rohit, Kohli, Bumrah etc).
Now we are having six teams in Asian continent, but sadly no team is having consistency and well-equipped system which helps them for having better results and consistency which is the major problem for them right now just India and Pakistan are looking better, but both are also facing troubles but still I am favoring India for the win against Pakistan because most of the time India perform better than Pakistan in Asia Cups history.

Most of the time ranking never works for teams because we have the history of worst results from top ranked teams in every event but right now any prediction about Asian Cup winner is not possible because unpredictable and inconsistent teams are going to face each other which create some good entertainment for the fans but who is going to win its interesting just wait and watch for the final ball.
98  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 27, 2023, 07:18:02 PM
There is no clear favorite in the upcoming Asia Cup which makes it more exciting.
I think this time Asia Cup might turn into a blockbuster contest.

Pakistan is in top form despite a couple of fuckups. India looking good after Bumrah's comeback and mix up with new guys in the squad. Bangladesh defeated India in the last ODI series so they are alright too. Sri Lanka also not looking that bad, The only drawback would be an absence of inform Hasaranga as he got injured i suppose. Weaker link would be Afghanistan but they can beat anyone on their day and we can expect some sort of fightback from them, not counting Nepal atm.
Maybe you are right in your statics, but I have completely different view about this because recently we have no improvement in few teams from Asia like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and now Afghanistan even they are going down in quality with batting with recent series against Pakistan give us all story of Afghani batting how unpredictable and poor they are in shots selections with they need to work on field as well because this is also big disappointment for them, I watch they drop many dolly catches as well.

Bangladesh is also having crises, and they will be also not good as we need them after long time and just read about Sri Lanka they are also facing some issues while their few players are out with injuries and other problems then again we have left only two teams India and Pakistan which can do good, but upset is possible as we have last time in the UAE as it is beauty of this game while we are having this in Asia.
99  Economy / Economics / Re: Running faucet business in 2023 still possible? on: August 27, 2023, 05:50:40 PM
If you want to create a faucet site, you can give the Shiba faucet a go because Shiba has a lot of fans and they will be happy to see another Shiba faucet.
But it's not easy because you must keep an eye on people who want to earn more Shiba by using multiple accounts.
And usually the faucet site has advertisements on the site so that the site owner can also get additional income.
But I don't know where you can start learning to make faucets because I've never tried to make one.
You're a meme coin fan aren't you? Because I see that you also wear a meme coin's signature and avatar which are some kind of a pepe coin. I ask because why would you recommend a Shiba faucet when I think there are other/more better coins than it and most of them are non-meme coins. Each website must have a detector to know if an abuse or hacks are going on. So don't worry.

There are so many ways for a faucet site to earn and one of it is like you said, they can display ads from a third party. Another is they can add some mini-games, and premium features which allow user to deposit their own funds. Creating a faucet site seems easier than a regular website because they are only small. There are tutorials in Google or in Youtube for this. We can also hire someone to build one for us if we are lazy and if we have a lot of capital.
100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos Should Also Be Prepared For Health Emergencies on: August 27, 2023, 04:56:06 PM
They are already prepared with any kind of (First Aid Kit)

But, do you know? most of the kit is only for the common case. Cardiac arrest (heart-attack) is not really a common case (it's really rare to be happening) and most of service provider is also are gonna to provided the same things that casino provided.

They are ready, for any kind common issue because that was the most they're facing.
I think there are also lots of cases of Cardiac Arrest especially if the weather is hot or the place/area is hot. Another cause of it is too much excitement which can be felt when we play gambling. If a casino can offer other promotions, then I believe they also have first aid kit.

It's one of the ways to show their support to their customer and customers will have a good impression with it, so they can come back again on this casino. If we know that we have a problem with our heart, it would be better to avoid things that can trigger it. Asking someone to bet for us, might still be a bad idea because it can still cause us to be emotional whatever the results are.
