This thread is sure to be quite long, and it's hard to read through all the replies to find a successful gambler. I suggest that OP creates a poll for us to check who among the posters here believes they have a successful career in gambling.

In reality, there are people who have already achieved success in gambling. The most popular among them are those who excel in poker games, while others are skilled in sports betting. So, the answer is indeed yes. It would be great if someone could share information about a person they know or are knowledgeable about who has succeeded in gambling. This way, we can learn valuable lessons that we can follow to achieve similar success.

It's a smart move by the promoters. These fighters aren't very popular, so they might have some difficulty marketing the fight. However, since it's now the undercard of a big event, it's almost guaranteed that this will be the final date, and the promoters won't have to worry about whether people will buy the PPV or attend the venue. In the same division as Matias, there are other champions who are more popular; they could easily set their fight as the main event. This one just doesn't seem like a go-to choice.

Whether it’s trading or investing, one should always learn to make a good analysis about the outcome of any decision, if it resort into creating consequences or not. And as long as money is directly involved, any trader or investor should always do the right thing. That is why patience and controlling of emotions are a must. If you fail to follow them, most likely you are trading or investing for a loss, because you do it obviously with greed and high emotions involved.

Fear and greed can be both present in any gambler, but as long as he knows how to handle them, I don’t think they will create significant risks, except for those newbies who clearly do not understand them well. Losing on the other part will always be part in gambling, as it’s definitely a mixed emotions of profiting and losing. But once you start chasing your previous losses, that’s a sign that you are bound to lose more. If this is happening to you, cut the drama. Don’t gamble at the moment if the emotions is high and uncontrollable. Instead, have a break and just come back to gambling calmly.

This is honestly quite disheartening news. It feels like they're trying to pull off a rigged show here. I mean, we worked hard to win the championship, and now they're attempting to take it away from us. They've already left a bitter taste in our mouths with that boxing incident, and now they're trying to do the same in basketball. Suspending a player might be reasonable, but snatching our gold and nullifying the results? That's just unreasonable.

Sorry to hear about your loss. There's no to recover the amount you lose already, so just chalk it up to experience and use it as a learning opportunity.

From the get-go, it's not a wise move to keep a large sum of money in a single wallet. Two bitcoins already constitute a substantial amount, and personally, I wouldn't even store one bitcoin in a single wallet. Electrum, while a reliable application, has had reported incidents of users losing their funds. However, it's important to note that this isn't the fault of the application itself, but rather the users' responsibility. Being cautious with your holdings is crucial.

My suggestion for the future would be to use multiple wallets. You don't have to memorize them all since that could be challenging, but it's a good strategy to minimize risk and prevent such incidents from happening again. Losing money is never a pleasant experience, especially in the current bullish market sentiment. You might end up regretting losing those 2 bitcoins, which could potentially be valued at $200k when Bitcoin reaches $100k, considering its all-time high (ATH).

Trading is really a profitable endeavor for those who have build knowledge and experiences with trading. However, for newbies, while trading can be more productive than investing, but it can be more dangerous if you jump into trading without prior knowledge and experience on the trading market. You can lose all your hard-earned money in just a blink of an eye if you trade with closed eyes. But if you invest in yourself with knowledge acquisition and develop your skills and strategies at first, I guess trading will be a lot more successful in the future.

Without greed, it’s easy to limit your exposure in gambling and just take a break when it’s really needed. When you are seeing that your losses have outnumbered your profits, and it’s a big pressure on your part to stay at profits, then probably the best thing to do is to take a break from gambling, and just come back again when you feel better about your losses. However, a gambler with high greed can never easily leave gambling just like that. If it means losing a lot more just to realize that gambling is not fit for him, then so be it just to save him for future huge losses.

Saka mo nalang problemahin kung sisitahin ka na, wala naman siguro sa atin dito na nagbabyad ng tax sa income sa signature campaign, hindi naman ito kalakihan, more or less nasa Php20,000 per month lang, eh kung sa salary income tax nga parang excempted na yan.

Kung takot ka masilip ang bank account mo, pwede mo namang ipasok sa ibang platform, siguro okay na sa Gcash, at least hindi naman tayo ni rerequire in declare mga transactions natin sa GCASH. Mas okay siguro kung income mo sa signature campaign ay deposit mo nalang sa Binance tapost trade mo P2P.

I respectfully disagree with that viewpoint. Holding, in my opinion, doesn't contribute to the economy. If we want to see the economy improve, there should be a continuous circulation of funds, in this case, Bitcoin, as that's what would create demand.

In the first place, the primary purpose of creating Bitcoin is to have a decentralized transaction system, free from the watchful eyes of the government, allowing for anonymity. The concern is that if people hold onto Bitcoin, it can make Bitcoin highly volatile. Just imagine if a single person holds 20% of the total supply and decides to sell it all at once, it would undoubtedly create chaos in the market.

You need not be concerned about the potential compromise of the Bitcoin network by hackers. If such an event were likely, it would likely have occurred long ago. Consider this: the identity of Bitcoin's creator, known as "Satoshi," remains undisclosed even today, yet people continue to invest in Bitcoin, leading to a billion-dollar market. Just envision the substantial losses that would result if it were compromised.

It's important to acknowledge that you don't need to be an expert to understand this concept. It's simpler to analyze with basic logic, ensuring greater confidence in your Bitcoin investments.

Our current concern revolves around the growth of adoption, given the potential for market manipulation and government intervention that threatens Bitcoin's original intended anonymity for users. These factors can affect its functionality to some extent, leaving us uncertain about its true nature.

This is no longer surprising as Bitcoin was perceived to be a big scam especially for those people who don't even know bitcoin. The fact that the government sees it as a threat to the financial system then we can blame the people if their perception about bitcoin creates a negative impact. That is the reason why people need to be fully educated about bitcoin and it could only be done if these type of people will be exposed about the bitcointalk forum.

You can never control the minds of other investors but you can always educate them about the risks investing in shitcoins. And even if they know already that shitcoins could be a threat to their investments, I don’t think they won’t be investing in shitcoins forever since there might come a time that shitcoins will be more profitable than bitcoin. So if I were you, do not underestimate the potentials of shitcoins. They can be highly risky but they can also give us huge returns when we least expect it. For me, experience would still be the best teacher. Let them explore and invest in shitcoins, their experience will tell it all.

It’s not actually wrong to listen from professional traders about their own trading signals that bring them profits, but always do your own analysis before you consider copying it. Trading signals can always have a different effect on each trader, probably it can work for others but not for you. That is the reason why we need to learn trading on our own, and learn from other traders as well. Trading can be more successful if we inculcate our own trading analysis, by also not taking for granted those trading signals that we have learned from successful traders.

This wouldn't have been possible if security wasn't guaranteed. These people are NBA players, so they're quite well-known. I must say, it's a commendable initiative by the Golden State Warriors. They're spreading some positivity in a place where people are often despised due to their crimes.

At the end of the day, we're all human, and everyone deserves a second chance and the opportunity to enjoy life, even while serving time. This experience is bound to be unforgettable for the people in jail.

It’s rare to see big wins from gambling, except for those big whales  who bet huge amount and then win or lose after a huge amount as well. Even in slots that most of us believe that it could offer us big winnings, but in reality most of those who play slots are only losing their money, except for those who are too lucky not to lose. However, when it comes to crypto or table games, still they are luck based and skill based games too, so if you’ve gained more knowledge and skills on the games, most likely you will win as long as you also have the luck to make you win. Otherwise, relying on skills alone won’t make you a winner from gambling.

Newbies are not actually discouraged to start trading but trading without sufficient knowledge and less experiences  will only lead to frequent losses than gains. That is the reason why instead of newbies jumping into trading that is clearly for quick profits, why not if they start long term hodling at first that has less risk than trading, and when they can manage already their investments well and can bring decent amount of profits, then they can start trading as well using their capital that they can afford to lose. That way, at least they can minimize from acquiring losses and can have more chances to succeed rather than end up losing on one side.

I'm getting that bull run feeling too, especially when I see posts like these – they really amp things up. I mean, who am I to call it unrealistic? Let's roll with that prophecy, mate – $10 million for 1 BTC, that's bonkers! I might just start beefing up my investment, which has been chillin' for a while. And yeah, maybe I'll ease off on the gambling for a bit to avoid constantly chipping away at it.

If there are any changes, I don't expect them to be that significant. I mean, with a bunch of superstars on Team USA, you probably won't even notice. Those guys are all in, and it's a different ballgame this time. They're on a mission, you know? After that embarrassment at the FIBA World Cup, they're itching for redemption in the Olympics. They want to remind the world that Team USA is still the cream of the crop in the basketball business.


Like I mentioned, it won't really shake up the odds. Team USA is still gonna sit tight as the big favorite.

A lot of times I made mistakes in betting, but most of them turned into losses, and only few made it to success. Now I’m more cautious in dealing with my bets. I don’t want to bet and make some errors on the amount that I supposed to bet because I know it will only lead to another mistake. And as much as possible, when I bet, that comes from a good analysis of mine and even from my instincts since we can’t avoid at some point not to believe in our instincts and just regret later on.
