841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: September 30, 2023, 07:59:21 PM
^^ It will be huge if suddenly Inoue decided to fight Casimero instead of unifying all the belts against Tapales. However, it will really be a big reason for Inoue to go for Casimero first. There should be somewhat that evoke Inoue, maybe he just want to shut the mouth of Casimero for good or just let Tapales fight for the mandatory first and then see how it goes for Marlon. And then after he disposed of John Riel then they will go after Tapales next. But let's see, I'm also on the side of Inoue vs Tapales happening maybe November-December, or at least this year and then Inoue unifying the belts in the bantamweight/super bantamweight in the modern era so that is another history for the Japanese.
That's just the second option. Inoue has a bigger chance of winning against Tapales than against Casimero, so he would not choose a hard battle with less reward. If he beats Tapales, he will be holding all the belts, and in that position, he can choose to fight any fighter he wants. Maybe Casimero's name will come up, maybe...

Right now, we should remain optimistic that this fight will happen, despite there being some rumors that it might not happen. The longer they prolong this, the more the excitement will die.

I'm saying if it's not possible this year, make it early next year. I think that's reasonable already.

That is the best thing that we can do right now, hope that we can see this fight at least happening this year. It was touted to be in November, but so far there's no update, we just know that the fight will be in Japan and pegged the month as November.

Inoue was not badly damage against Fulton, so maybe he just need a couple of weeks rest and he is back again. We've seen videos of him and his brother sparring, as Takuma will have to defend his belt against another Fiipino. So maybe Naoya Inoue is already cleared to fight, but it's just a matter of negotiating with team Tapales and for the to be ok with the purse split.
Are they still with that purse split? Its true that as long we arent making or seeing some updates or news in regarding with those kind of issues and havent seen any announcement or words from them then it would really be safe to assume out that it is really that still on or really that still in track for it to happen. We do still have that a month+ to wait up but we know that fights could really be postpone immediate if there would really be some sudden news or announcement in regarding about those disagreements in between parties on which it is really just that normal that Tapales team would definitely be asking for their fair share or slice
when it comes to that purse issue and Inoue's team is really just that too demanding a bigger slice considering that the other half or team are also a champion. They shouldn't really be taking up their heads too big
just because they are really that being popular or known but doesnt mean that they should really be giving out the priority. Everything should really be fair and square.

Possible upset for this year?
https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/03/23/boxings-biggest-upset-this-year-if-tapales-beats-inoue-analyst

If Tapales would be able to beat up Inoue then for sure it would really be the biggest paycheck on his career and at the same time it would really be a big boost up
into his popularity if he could really be able to pull this upset knowing on how heavily favorite Inoue is.
842  Economy / Economics / Re: Building wealth it's not just one time Luck on: September 29, 2023, 08:52:49 PM
Yes, it's important to emphasise wise spending and investment. I've heard several stories of sudden wealth that vanishes rapidly. One of the biggest issues is ignorance about finances. When people get their hands on a significant money, they often assume it will last them a lifetime. They spend mindlessly. And where does it leave them? Broke, stressed, and in debt

I believe wise, intentional investing is necessary to maintain and grow wealth. Investing in equities or Bitcoin has power. I see it as a way to diversify and possibly create wealth, despite the risks and volatility debate. Again, a plan and knowledge are crucial. Wealth is money management, not just money
Indeed, it would be better if we could manage our spending on investing. If we cannot control our spending on investing, it will be very detrimental if we experience losses and don't have any money left so we can't meet our needs. If they spend money without thinking, of course they have never experienced the difficulty of earning money, so when they use their money they don't think about anything.

I really agree with you that in investing we really need to understand it well, not just have money and then invest, we need to understand it well so that we can overcome obstacles if there are obstacles in investing. For those who can manage their finances well, of course they will become rich with their money and for those who can't, of course they will never be able to because they keep spending their money and only realize it when there is no more left.
Invest what we can; risk what we can afford to lose. We tend to forget that not every investment can promise profit, there are time that we will experience losses like any other transactions that involves money. Hence, by forgetting that we go way out of line by putting everything we have to investing, getting to carried out that we forget how vital it is to ensure that we still keep something for ourselves in case of unforseen circumstances. We need to learn how to divide our income for our daily spendings, investments, and savings. As much as investing have a great number of benefits for us, we still need to set a limit.
If you do like for your life to have some progress or really have those kind of targets or goals then it would really be just that normal that you should need to work hard for it and make out some sacrifices or simply taking up
some risks because you cant really be that able to progress or changed up your life if you wont really be taking up such path. Dont believe or put up into your mind into those successful people or rich ones hadnt been able to pass up these kind of challenges in life. There's no easy way on acquiring richness without passing all those challenges on which you would commonly be able to experience.Building wealth though does really have some sort of mix of luck on the time that you are dealing something because despite on putting  those hard work and whatever sacrifices you had made but if there's no luck mixed with it then you would really be still able to fail.

Note on here is that  you should not make yourself in a rush because this is where mistakes do happen.Set your priorities and set your plans and work hard for it.
Dont rely on luck because without hard work and some wise approach on decision making then it would really be that useless.

Who are Puppey and M_C fans here? There's a rumor that they might be seen in TI12 and might play as standins for the Team SMG.

Why? Again, just like the other problems in the past for their TI participation and it's all about the biggest and strongest opponent of most of them, VISA.

News:
MinD ContRoL Can Go To TI12 With Team SMG
Rumors: Puppey to play for SMG at The International 2023

Again these are still all rumors.

And apart from that, it seems that we've got lesser time to see a huge prize pool for this TI. It seems that Valve shortened the time for the collection of 25% sales of the new compendium. Based from what I have seen, the current prize pool for this is around $2.5M as for the collection as of typing this but this can still grow and more. We still got around 2 more weeks for the start of the TI.
Not really new anymore on which tons of dota players or professionals wasnt able to attend whether on TI or even with those Majors or other tourneys just because of VISA problems.
This is indeed their strongest opponent i should say.  Grin Once your declined or having issues then for sure you wont really be able to play together with your team and
this is where stand-in do begins. Puppey and M_C? Well having these veteran players playing on a team then you cant go wrong with them though and lets see on how
far that SMG could be able to reach out.

Speaking about TI prize pool then its already that not shocking that they wont really be getting that bigger prize pool for this year. Why? they didnt really able to release that Battle pass earlier
but instead they are focusing on compedium and we know that TI date is fast approaching. There's no much time for the pool to make it big and also
with those stuffs given or could be acquired then its total shit. We do lots Arcanas and Immortals baby.
844  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you believe Technical Analysis? on: September 29, 2023, 06:59:22 PM
Everyone knows that we can learn from the past to correct mistakes.
As a result, many economists attempt to predict the future through history.

We also have a known fact from the past.
The "Bitcoin halving" is correlated with price increases.

I'd like to pose a new question here.
What are your thoughts on using past charts(candlesticks) that similar current ongoing charts(candlesticks) to make price predictions?

When asked this question to many professors and investors, a common response is, "Candlesticks reflect the psychology of investors."

What are your thoughts on this matter?
When it comes to type of analysis that could deal with then it would really be just on this two;

1. Fundamental
2. Technical

Fundamentals talking about news and events on the market neither it would really be correlated with those typical economic news and other markets which it do really correlates and connects out on crypto
space or not because having those kind of sentiments could neither be that affecting or not this space on which assuming out that this is really that correlates or connect then it is really that
safe to presume that it wont really be that a bad idea on trying to check out and consider on applying it into your analysis.This is why as a trader or a investor then you would really be needing
to be that versatile.

Now, speaking about TA's? We know that not all the time this market would really be having those kind of news and this is where making use of these tools or indicators would
really be that relevant or something that it is really that recommended on doing so.
845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Youth Gambling on: September 28, 2023, 09:56:20 PM
Among young people is a result of the availability of gambling alternatives, such as sports betting and online gambling. Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses
Too much of everything is bad, and gambling is no exception to that, which is why when people gamble, its advisable people gamble responsibly, and not make it a do-or-die affair, as that's where the spirit of being an addict starts from (i.e. when a teenager sees gambling as his only source of income and last hope for life). However, taking a look at this image below, one can easily understand that the age bracket of people said to be gambling addicts are those of age bracket 18yrs to 24yrs,  followed by those of age bracket 25yrs to 35yrs. Which means these are potential gambling addict, and as such, it will be wise if anyone gamble responsibly.


Link: https://quitgamble.com/gambling-addiction-statistics-and-facts/

This is the highest number of possibility on which this age bracket could be potentially become and addict.

Gambling when drunk or high can be costly for anyone, but especially for those between the ages of 18-24 who are at the highest risk of experiencing harms from gambling.
https://www.responsiblegambling.org/for-the-public/safer-play/gambling-and-young-adults/

Numbers cant really be that precised but we do know that if you do start up on young with gambling engagement then most likely you would really be growing up with that kind of habit
on which later on you would really be affecting yourself but on the time that you are still that dependent from your parents when it comes to finances then it would really be hindering
you on playing since you dont have the funds that much and when addiction is severe then this where illegal doings would kick in on which it is really just that sad
if you do really come into this point.
846  Economy / Speculation / Re: Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin can go to $5 million? on: September 28, 2023, 08:53:23 PM
The point is: in 2023, I have seen a lot of speculation and predictions expressed by many people, not only Michael Saylor, many other users are saying what Saylor said, What's worse is that they speculate more than $5 million on the future price of Bitcoin, some people think it's excessive and some people think there is nothing impossible that anything could happen to Bitcoin.

However, to be honest, for myself, at least I have separate speculation for Bitcoin in the future, the highest is between $100k - $200k, it seems that $5 million will take a long time to achieve, even though we never know the real crypto market and Bitcoin's next direction.

There is no way we can predict future price of Bitcoin. Majority of speculations and predictions about Bitcoin price went wrong. As far as this 5 Million price prediction is concerned, I think its exaggerated figure. Right now everyone eyes are whether Bitcoin can go and surpass 100,000 $ or not. Next year halving is also a much awaited figure and will give a good hint about future price of Bitcoin.

They can make any prediction they want, but if they want to convince others, they must at least show what evidence or documents they rely on to make that statement.  but most are just spontaneous speculations, saying whatever they think without any evidence.  so these numbers are greatly exaggerated. 
You're right, we haven't even crossed $100k yet, so thinking of higher goals is wild.  five million USD per bitcoin is a really attractive number but too illusory and exaggerated beyond necessary.
Even if they would really be presenting any documents or whatsoever which it wont really be that still different because everything would really be remain as speculative approach on which it is really that actually free or could really be say by everyone which it doesnt matter if you are just an average joe or known people here in this market or space. We can really be able to make our own numbers on which it would really be just that
depending on how positive or being optimistic you are in towards bitcoins potential. It is really just there are really some numbers turns out to be non-realistic already. Yes, its not bad on being realistic but we know that if you are a person who do have that reputation and popularity, then whatever speculations that you would really be saying which it might really be affecting someones views and decisions specially newbie ones on which they are usually that get easily affected whenever we do see these kind of price calls and speculations which on the time that they do read up then this is the time that they would really be able to make out some conclusions that they should go all in just because they are already imaging on the profits that they could make if that prediction or price speculation did really happen.
847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: September 28, 2023, 07:45:53 PM
This is officially the worst sales start in the history of compendiums/battle passes since 2015.

Totally expected this to happen since last year. We cant keep this TI prizepool to be that huge anymore. Most of us that play regularly or follow this game's update has been growing older. Some of us even had family now compared to like 5-8 years ago so yeah no wonder that we will be getting lower prizepool for TI even if those compendiums stuff are good

After such words, the desire to buy it disappears.

Well I might buy some just to support this old timer game but yeah I dont even play it anymore since few years LOL
Cant really still make out those conclusions though because we know that dota players on this generation do still continually to add up but i do agree on some points that to those people who are really that still playing until now which we do really have our own family. Just like me on which i've been playing ever since when im in highschool on which now that im already 32 of age and having my own family then you would of course be
prioritizing your family needs on which it would be resulting on having that lesser expense on buying up that Battle pass compared into those days which im not still married on where i do always love to buy
BP on huge or big levels or simply spending up that much.

Honestly, i was really that totally disappointed with the Compendium update recently, those are just skins and some wheel chats and i was expecting for some Immos or arcana
but we do fail on such expectation but i have seen somewhere that they would be adding out later on?
848  Economy / Economics / Re: If They Can Pay off their Debts, Why Don't They? on: September 28, 2023, 06:45:09 PM
Snip.
The concept of a state is very complicated if the resources it has are inadequate. The United States is a large country that controls many things and perhaps the comparison of the United States with a country that is experiencing bankruptcy is not balanced. Sri Lanka, which is located on the Asian continent, for example, is in huge debt with China and is almost unable to pay now, there are many factors that have brought this country into big problems after being in debt. The concept of a state is not easy, especially if they rely on debt to build infrastructure.

Printing more money is also not a solution because it will suppress inflation and if the reason for printing more money was a solution for all countries, then it would be quite easy for countries to get out of debt. In reality, it is not as easy as imagined and countries that do not have a clear vision with the support of certain sectors will actually make them more problematic. It is difficult to reach the stage that the United States has done because not many countries are able to do what they have done.
I think it's a little strange that a superpower country like the United States is included in the list of countries that have debt. The United States has everything and is one of the developing countries, very different compared to Sri Lanka and other small countries. America's income per year is very large, many of their products are imported abroad, they should be free from debt if you look at their annual income from various sources.

Printing more money will further increase the problem, the amount of money printed exceeding market needs will cause very high inflation, the prices of goods and services will increase, resulting in people's lives becoming increasingly squeezed. The government needs to reorganize the way finances are managed, in fact they can reduce the amount of debt if annual spending is on target. State officials must also be honest and free from corruption to save the country from the threat of increasing debt.
Here's some similar question and this would be the most realistic approach or response to that.

Why do rich nations continue to borrow even if they have the money? An advanced country may obtain debt to give its slowing economy an adrenaline shot. This allows for the continuity of government programs despite the decline in tax revenue due to recession.
https://www.banklesstimes.com/news/2020/04/17/rich-in-debt-why-do-the-wealthiest-countries-owe-the-most-money/

As much as possible on which they would really be making use of those cash reserves to expand more on different industries on which means that if they do have the power on cashing everything or paying up
if they do have the plans but we know that there's no such thing about unlimited funds on which there's always that border line. For them to be able to expand then taking up some loan would be the key
on which country leaders wont really be that so dumb for them not to know about those basic things.
849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: September 27, 2023, 09:51:57 PM
But this is not only the contributing factor to such early involvement in gambling but also if the kids find themselves or are exposed to a gambling environment, for instance, there was this lodge where I lived during my days at the University where there was this betting shop stationed in the front of the lodge, most of the growing kids around that area used to enter the shop to play visual games and that how the environment can influence kids too even without having their parents be a gambler.
Yes, it true that the environment a kid finds himself has a role to play in the formation of whichever lifestyle he finally adopts as he grows up, but yet that doesn't mean the influence a kid will get from the environment could be compared to that which he/she could get from his/her immediate parent he/she is staying with and looks up to daily, which is the main reason why thou other factors could have a role to getting a kid addicted to gambling, but he learning it from his parents will end up creating a Pro addicted gambler, and as such should be discourage.
What both of have said is very correct because at some point,  one can easily influence any little kids that fine themselves around us have hard a personal experiences of this on several occasions,  one was when my little elder brother son bath the way I use to bath simply because I use to bath together with the boy just for fun,  not knowing that the little one is gradually learning that from me,  I was surprise when one day I discovered that pattern from him.

So since that incident, I become very concerned about what I do when kids are around,  so gambling in front of the kids is what I will never do in no condition,  so we have to take a lot of consideration for this discussion because just like I mentioned in my earlier comment,  we can be right sure that some activities and games we play as family also unknowingly will be introducing gambling to the kids although on a low key level.
Everything that been seen by our kids specially to the things that we are really doing then it would really be considered to be right or something that it is really that will be put up into their minds that it is really just that fine that they would really be also doing it since they have seen that their parents are really doing that also. We do know that there are really things which arent supposed to be seen by our children specially that they do easily be able to adapt on things on what they are seeing and it would really be a risky thing if they have seen about gambling then this is where curiosity will kick in and might be resulting into those hidden access even if you arent that around and this is why it would be important that there should really be a private time on the moment you are making or doing gambling because its never been that good to look at if children would really be expose to it. If ever you get caught on such scenario then explaining to them on what you have done and making out some advises that you shouldnt really be doing on what you are doing or making up some warnings
that dealing with it is never been that safe. Just make sure that it do only happen one time and wont really be ending up on a rampant manner because advises would really be that useless if they do still continuing
on seeing on what you are really doing.
850  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading or investment! What's your take? on: September 27, 2023, 08:50:51 PM
I am not good at anything but I have just learned through experience and stay on the market.

Trading is a difficult task, and only a well-experienced trader can do it, so people who do not have experience and knowledge should prefer investing over trading.
And those people that have done trading but they think that they can't do it and they're just making losses instead of profit should prefer investing. It's not a problem if you're not good in trading when you're making profits but it's not a temporary problem that will be made. You'll have that time that you will see yourself that you're going to loss and you'll have that tough time to recover when you're not good at it. So much better to put that money into investing and let it grow on its own over the period of time.
Indeed, by investing it will be easier to do so, but for those who want to do trading as their main job there is nothing wrong, but you need to know that you can learn until you have good knowledge about trading. Trading has a greater level of risk than investing, therefore we should not only judge it in terms of profits, but we must also consider the risks so that we don't regret it later.
According to the market you have to decide whether you will trade or invest. We need to have a good understanding of both trading and investing so that we can do the right thing at the right time according to the market. Whenever you feel that long term investing is better than trading then you should definitely invest instead of trading. Again trading is a better decision than investing when the market fluctuates naturally so you must be more focused on trading at that time. 

If you think you will do investment and trading together then that is totally up to you which needs good amount of financial support. If there is good financial support you can invest in any one coin for a long time and carry out your own trading activities in all other coins.

In my opinion investing is not difficult for a newbie, just a little knowledge about market and coins is required. If one only knows what is bear season and bull season. Even if a newbie doesn't know about a good and strong project, he can choose a few good coins from the top 100 coins in the market.

While this is not the case in trading.Trading cannot be done with one or two years of experience or by watching various YouTube videos or getting information from social media platforms. Trading requires a lot of experience. You need at least 7 to 10 years of experience in my opinion. Investment and trading, they are two different things with different requirements.As easy as you think investment and trading are the same, it is not so easy.

In my opinion, for long-term investment, instead of one coin, your capital should be divided into different coins, so that the loss rate can be minimized.
7-10 years is already that too exagerrated on which i would really be definitely be saying that 1-2 years should be an enough window for you to be able to have that right experience towards this market and it would really be depending or varying on how serious and how many hours you've been dealing with trading and its true that learning could really be acquired through real experience and not just on reading up some books or seeing some youtube video or simply it is something that you could really only gain with your own experience towards it. Somewhat having that a decade kind of engagement is really just that too much of a standard. If you do last up that long then this do indicates that you are really that doing well with trading because you wont really be lasting up for couple of years if you arent seeing something progressive towards your career path.
Trading or investment? It would really be your choice to make but if you could really be able to handle both then why not as long you do know on how to manage your finances and could be able to sustain
for long then it would really be an advantage for you to deal up both things which we know that it could potentially bring up profits and income if you do it well.
851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino features you like and Don't like but you don't mind on: September 27, 2023, 07:53:31 PM
So you have been a gambler for at least 1year. Before Covid, you were a regular at the physical casino in your locality. You gambled with fiat. But when Covid hit, you discovered online casinos. You didn't need to gamble with fiat anymore but with cryptocurrencies. You tried out many online casinos but finally settled for one or two. There's no perfect casinos but you have stuck with this one occasionally trying out new casinos as advertised on the forum or out there but you still return to your favorite casinos. What are the features in your favorite casinos that you like that makes you keep going back and what are the features that you don't like at your favorite casino but you overlook them and still play there?
The reasons are;

- Good variety of games offered
- I do have the chance on editing their withdrawal fee
- Good and active support
- Tons of promotions and bonuses
- Site design
- Overall ambiance even if we do speak about online casinos

Each person does have their own preference because not all would be sharing up with the same sentiment basing up on what things they are currently involved with.
Some may like on what you like but some wouldn't and this is where we could really be able to see that choices would really differ on each other.
Speaking about lapses or those con's then i dont mind much as long i do able to play and having that smooth experience then this what matter the most.
I might be testing up some new sites if it do looks catchy but staying up right away is unlikely, there would be still lots of factors and considerations which
needs to be checked out first.
852  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when you look at your first Bitcoin wallet? on: September 27, 2023, 06:55:06 PM
My journey into Bitcoin was entire due to the need to send payment across borders as there was FX and several other restrictions in my country. So, I joined Bitcoin just to use it for cross-border payment without knowing it could actually be a way of creating wealth in the future.

Just recently, I was tempted to check my first ever Bitcoin wallet to see what I have done in the past. I was so depressed seeing the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through my wallet without me saving a reasonable portion of it.

I have the feeling that many forum users too have similar experience; do kindly share just maybe I can feel a little better knowing that I'm not a lone.


The feeling is the same, sending Bitcoin here and there and at some point I just thought to myself that, what if I had kept it till this very moment how much would I be having at this point?
Well is never too late start up something. So OP you're not and never will you be alonein this kind of experience, never for ones feel depressed in any way.
For sure, majority of us specially to those who had been dealing with Bitcoin or crypto space wayback on 2015+ or even more on which seeing their wallets and on how much they had made out in terms of incoming and outgoing transactions then it would really be something an amount that would be significant today. It would really be creating that kind of thinking that what if we do able to hold up those coins until today?
For sure you would really be thinking on the things that you might really have able to purchase or whatever you do have in mind if you do get a hold of those coins but well its already that done and past is past and there's nothing we can do since we do have priorities into those moments or days on which we would really be needing to cash out those coins and this would really be leading out spending those coins actively
which we dont have no choice and this is why its not really that good on keeping on looking back on what you had missed in the past but rather be focusing on what are the things that you are facing today.
We are already pretty away on what are those possible opportunities on which you could really make yourself that able to earn big but of course its not really that something a guarantee too which we know that
this market whether could shoot up even more or it would really be just that good on where we are now.
853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: September 27, 2023, 05:41:09 PM
For me personally, the point is not about the credit card, but that we are the users. Likewise with gambling, we have discussed many threads and posts that always link addiction. but in essence it is not the credit card or a casino that triggers addiction, but we are the ones who let ourselves go too far without being accompanied by control and self-awareness IMO.
Yes, that's what I mean, why do you have to think so hard that credit cards are what trigger people to become addicted to gambling even though it comes from the gambler's behavior and self-awareness, it's strange to hear that, why do people think that credit cards are the trigger, isn't physical money the same? It also has an influence and triggers people to become addicted to gambling if they have a lot of physical money in their hands.

Moreover, if the gambler can control himself, of course he will not use credit cards excessively, of course he has his own limits for gambling use, whereas we also know that every credit card has limits, so it is impossible because credit cards can trigger gambling addiction.

What you say is true, it all comes back to each person's self-awareness as a gambler.

Maybe because by using credit card for depositing you cannot feel guilt then continue to deposit when you are continuously losing. Unlike you use your own personal funds where you slowly start to doubt when you see that your money is starting to became more lesser. Although we can't entirely blame this on credit card because its still up on the attitude of the gambler since if he's careless on his credit card finances for sure he will just end up getting max out his all credits. But if he is well discipline man for sure even if he use credit card no excessive putting some risky bets and deposits on their end then they will be more careful placing their bets also the amount they used on their credit card for deposit.

Addiction can be trigger on any situation so its not all about the usage of credit card but how people handle his self on his gambling habits.
You wont really be having that feeling of guilt on the time that you do know that you are the holder of such credit card, you do know that it was given into you and you have applied for it on which you would  really be thinking that you do have the full rights on what you should gonna do with your spending or on how you would really be making use of that card. It is really just that people do really skip out on thinking up carefully on what are the possible consequences on which you might encounter if you do really make yourself that careless or not responsible for your spending or on how you do make use of your card on the right way.
It isnt really that bad on using it on gambling as long you do have in moderation but most likely you would really be breaking that kind of thing when the habit becomes that an impulsive kind of activity.

You would really be most likely be ending up on being that an addicted person if you do keep on considering on having that kind of behavior in towards your credit card.
This is why it would be always preferred that you should really be that responsible on whatever spending that you do specially on something that you dont own or something that do talks about credit.
It do really sounds good on having these cards but on the time that due date comes then this is where things becomes shit.

~snip~
Raising your standard of living is really that something like a suicide specially if your income source isnt really that something that could be able to compensate such changes and this is something that you do really need to look on before making out such step but we know that common human being mistake or errors is that on the time that they do earn more than on what they do earn in the past then they would automatically be changing up their standards without even trying out to realize that it cant really be able to sustain. Why i would say so? I have made out that kind of mistake which i did really regret after wards on which i did really make out that hard lesson learned on the time that i had devastated my financial situation and goodness i do able to resolve it out on the time that i did make out some adjustments and this is something that you would really be needing to do so.

Dont spend into those things which arent really that useful or relevant. Somewhat its not really that bad on buying up your wants or something like this but of course it would really be on that controlled manner.
Everything which is excess and not necessary would really be just that a complete waste and something it isnt really that recommended on doing so specially if your funds
arent really that big or something that could sustain where youre spending is more than on what you do earn. You would go overdropped.
The temptation to upgrade our lifestyles when we earn more is pretty common, and many fall into this trap. It's crucial, just like you said, to assess whether the increase in income is sustainable before making such decisions. If the new income source isn't steady, it's a serious risk to adjust our spending upwards

Unexpected financial hurdles can pop up at any time. It's always a sound plan to save more when we earn more, rather than increasing our expenses. Allocating funds for emergencies, future plans, and investments should take precedence. It's also vital to differentiate between wants and needs. Buying non-essential items should be a controlled action, not a regular habit. Prioritizing financial stability and security will lay a solid foundation for a comfortable future, preventing the distress of financial instability. Your insight is valuable and serves as a prudent reminder for many
I agree with you. In most cases, when an individual's income gets a significat raise they tend to adjust their spendings as well. Humans are greedy and will never be satisfied, once they get something good they adjust their needs as well. The problem with this is we will never get the stability we want if we continue being like this. To make it simple, say if we continue adjusting our spendings with how much the raise of our income goes, it will never look and feel that we are getting more cause we are spending just the same. If I am earning 100$ a day and I am spending 50$ a day then I will only save 50$, then if I get a raise and my daily earnings goes to 150$ and I adjust my spending to 100$ because of that raise, in the end I will only be able to save the same amount as before.
If you do have this kind of behavior then for sure you would really be ending up with some financial struggle specially if you dont able to make some savings or emergency funds which you wont really be likely to mind on specially if you do know that you do have lots of money on where savings wont really be included into your plans or something with your vocabulary on which you would be seeing this to be non relevant but on the time that you are already on the verge of financial problems or hiccups then this is where you would really be able to realize of its relevance and this is something that should have done earlier. Ive seen tons of people around me
on which they had made out some money whether from some job promotion or having those kind of temporal wins or bonuses then they do really immediately changed up their lifestyle on which its been upgraded
which its not really that ideal on doing so considering that those arent really that sustainable or something temporal and if you do get used into that upgraded kind of living then getting back into those old stuff
then it is really that a hard adjustment but on the time that you dont really have no choice then you would really be dealing with it and this is where regrets do starts to kick in that
you should havent done that.
855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When Gamblers Fail to Read a Casino's Terms and Conditions on: September 26, 2023, 08:57:14 PM
people keep saying: people should read the casinos' TOS, people agreed to the casinos' TOS. I also agree that it is necessary to read the casinos' TOS before creating an account, but we also need to understand and not ignore the fact that some casinos say here on the forum that they do not ask for KYC unless some suspicious activity is detected, so people they create an account at the casino and play with peace of mind, but when they want to withdraw the casino asks for kyc and obviously the customer will refuse to do kyc because the casino did not show proof that he (the customer) was involved in any suspicious activity. us here on the forum when a person appears accusing another member or when a person appears here on the forum accusing a casino

The first thing that all members do is post asking the guy who created the thread accusing the casino to post evidence and when he doesn't post evidence everyone ignores him and accuses him of being a liar, but strangely enough, if the casino appears in that person's thread and Accusing cheating and suspicious activities no one will ask the casino for proof, people immediately believe the casino. I keep asking myself why does this happen? As if this weren't already something serious enough to leave anyone who had an account blocked, we also see the following in the casinos' TOS: the casino reserves the right to change the TOS at any time and day without prior notice

I ask: a person will read in the TOS that the bonus will be 100% of the deposit and then they only need kyc level 1. Then the person sees that it is a good TOS and creates an account thinking that they are in a good casino, but 30 days later the person has created an account, deposited money, done kyc level 2 and met all bonus requirements, the time comes to withdraw and they refuse, and when he asks support why withdrawal is not being allowed, support tells him that in the TOS You have to go through kyc level 2 to withdraw. So, was it really worth reading the TOS?
When an accusation rises then possible angles would really be something that needs to be checked, plus we know that there are accusations which turns out to be fake and obviously trying out to take down other competitions here on this market place and this is why they kind of fake claims are common but we know that majority of those are really that legit or something real. This is the beauty on having this kind of community on which everyone could really be able to make their words and insights towards on a certain situation whether its not fair or totally shady or really just that right for a certain user to suffer because of violating something.
If you do really have hindrance about with those sudden requirement on the time that you are making some withdrawal specially huge amounts then it would be always ideal and sensible thing to be done for you to stick
into those places which are reputable or long time known within this community and wont really be putting or touching up your feet into those new platforms.

Im aint saying that new ones would really be considered or automatically be treated to be non-fair but it would really be that always a bad idea if you do put up or deposit huge
amounts specially on a new platform. Always consider on testing out waters first before you would really be depositing huge. As for TOS reading then everyone or almost 100%
of gamblers do really ignore on reading that huge pile of text until they would realize that they had missed out something when issues arises.
856  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading bots... do they work? on: September 26, 2023, 08:27:47 PM
Looking to get some real-world feedback on trading bots, the pros, the cons and the most important question... do they work?

So please, only comment below if you're actively using trading bots and how successful they are.

I'm not really good at trading so I try bots thinking that it help me and expecting this would change my mind about leaving trading. Unfortunately, the results never met my expectations, for me, it was a failed attempt. I've found out that trading bots is useless if you as a trader don't have knowledge about trading. I'm not sure if hiring someone to set up the bots instead of doing it personally is a good idea, but I don't think so. Because the only ticket for us in order to succeed in trading is to become knowledgeable about this.


Trading bots can be of a great help if used properly. Yes, it can assist and support your trading matters even if you are away from your computer. But, trading bots are programmed just as a 'support', meaning that you cannot fully rely on it as it can also affect your trading negatively. Having trading bots does not mean that you will just let alone the bot do its job as there can be still an error and mistakes with it and such technical issues might still occur. Personally, I think trading bots best works if both of you work together as it can help to achieve better results in trading. And its not a good idea to trade if you don't have any knowledge about it, and the first thing that you cling onto are trading bots.
Totally useful if you are really that knowledgeable on making use of it or on how it should be ran but we know that other people does have different impression or different beliefs towards these things on which they do believe that trading bots are the ones that could make them money or simply it is really that a reason for them to become rich which it is really that a very wrong kind of thinking because this would really be rather leading into a disaster if you dont really make yourself stick into those realistic approach towards it. We know that it cant really be just that so possible that bots are really that making income for you.It is really just for the automation of your trading on which you are really that still the ones who do make out commands about those actions would really be made once it do hit up a certain condition and this what makes brings out convenience
specially into those people who arent really that always in front of their PC on which having these bots would really make out things even more simplier and more that convenient.This is the true purpose of its existence
and not into those things on  which they are really that thinking that they could automate making some money without doing something and let those bots do the work.
857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. on: September 26, 2023, 07:48:55 PM
If you have the habit of playing and gambling on different sports and game, I think it is not good because of some few reasons like;
YOU WILL SPEND MORE MONEY ON GAMBLING.
YOU CAN BECOME MORE EASILY ADDICTED THAN A GAMBLER WHO PLAYS ONLY ONE GAME. 
YOUR CHANCES OF LOOSING WILL INCREASE, BUT YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING MAY NOT INCREASE.
YOU WILL SPEND MORE TIME GAMBLING.
Which other reason?

Also, betting on different sports wont really be that somewhat entertaining or enjoyable unless if you do know all of those sports then it could be possible but if not then you are just simply trying out to be greedy and just
dont mind whether you are knowledgeable on a certain sport or not, as long you do make out some bets then it is really something that you would really be having on mind on which you are really that betting for having that chance of winning knowing that results could really be only have two possible outcome which it is really that a win or lose since its only 2 teams/players which you would really be needing up to choose in between
and some gamblers do think that its a 50-50% chance of winning but without even realizing that it is really that ideal that you should really know about the sports because if you dont then you would
really be seeing that winning chance is really that slim and wont really be making out assurance or guarantees.
858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: September 25, 2023, 08:58:14 PM
Everyone stay away from gambling game then you all will be happy and happy Gambling game is very bad which will harm your family a lot and will also harm your life like my father gambling ruined my father's life and also my future is dark now I am now  I came back to this bitcoin to find light in my life in this darkness you all help me shine.







What exactly is this topic? It seems very lazily written and without a clear and informative message in mind.

I do not intend to sound judgmental or mean to you or your father, and I can sympathize with his and your situation. But I merely think that everyone on this gambling forum understands the dangers by now. We gamble not because we do not understand or know about the risks and dangers of addiction but because its fun. When you go outside you are exposing yourself to dangerous viruses and bacteria and thereby risking your life. But does that mean you would rather spend your entire life in a sterile room? At some point the fun of something weighs more than the risk of that something.

But that does not mean that we should be ignorant of the problems and dangers. There is always something we can do to protect ourselves from it. I for example decided to implement a weekly spending limit. And using pure discipline, I do not break my own gambling rules or limits.

I have lost money but I have never lost ALL my money.
It doesnt really have any sense at all on trying out to convince the masses that gambling game is bad and should really be staying away from it just because on what happened into his father which it is really that truly
sad but we know that this is really just that for entertainment. Peoples lives are wasted and devastated on the time that they would really be having those wrong or bad doings or treatment towards gambling because
of the actions had been made this it wont really be shocking that it would really be just that resulting into such point on where you would really be definitely be messing up your life if you do tolerate such addiction.
You know that people would really be making out those conclusions basing up on their conditions or experience which is normal but saying that its a bad thing and staying away then this is where
people would partly be trying out to oppose because this isnt a right generalization i should say just because you had messed up because of wrong decisions or treatment towards it.
859  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does monitor size affect trading? on: September 25, 2023, 08:27:11 PM
Those with better skills I don't think they need it.  Whose skill is good doesn't make much impact on big screen or small screen.  But it will be very convenient for the newbies. It will be easy to see the big chart hole on the big monitor.  The facility will be open to all, but ties are best used according to skill and need.  But I will say what's the use of keeping the monitor big if you don't have the skills.  Efficiency should be increased first. Buying a bigger monitor for convenience is not a bad thing if you can afford it.
Might people think that if they use big screen, they will become profitable but that is wrong? Convenience is the only advantage that big screen gives to traders as you can do more searches easier but the results are quite the same as it depends on the capabilities of the trader. In fact, one of my friends uses a mobile phone and is still able to earn more and succeed than others who use laptops. That is why I would say that it doesn't really matter, the most important is to have a better understanding of trading and make use of effective strategies.
Convenience is really the only benefit but we do know that once a certain person would really be on the state on which he's that convenient and comfortable then this is where they would really be that efficient on their
trading on which we could really be able to say that it might really be that able to make them good trades if ever they do really find out the relevance on having that multiple monitor but its true that it would really vary or just depend because we know that not all would really be able to afford on making trades with having lots or a couple of monitor on which only one should be enough or suffice and its true that profitability wont really be
depending whether you do have more than one monitor or not because it would really be all depending on how well you do trade but cant really deny that having multi monitor does really give out that kind of convenience.
Just like into my situation on which i do have two monitors which one is intended for social media use and the other one would really be used for regular browsing.
860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: September 25, 2023, 07:51:46 PM
With the rise of female gamers, females who are earning their own money, definitely there will be a lot more females who will associate with gambling.

But the reason why I think the casinos are not involving themselves too much with women population is because it is sometimes which is actually very problematic. A man understands what will happen when he puts his money on the line for gambling. Either they get the money back with a little something more or they lose the money. But they are never going to cry about it. The problem with women is that they do not take accountability. All it takes is for one woman to make a stupid video with her iPhone that she got scammed in a gambling situation or casino, and the casino is definitely going to face a lot of backlash.
I wouldn't agree to this at all, not even a single bit. First of all, we need to end up putting genders into generalization, I have a wife, a mom, an aunt and had grandma before she passed away, and none of them were alike at all, put them all on a casino and I guarantee you that there would be some that would be exactly like how you said, while the others just the opposite and all the things in between.

But, I also guarantee you that if you put me, my father, my uncles, all into a casino, there would be some who will not take accountability (my uncle probably lol) to all those who you said as well. That's why there is nothing like that at all regarding genders. My wife gambles all the time, and takes full responsibility at all times.
And due to that we do have our own free will in disregard on what gender you do have which is definitely true. There's no way that genders would really be a solid indication whether they would get interested with gambling or not on which this is really that something will vary or demand with personal approach and this is something that would really vary on each person.Its true that there's no difference about them on regards with gambling
whether you are a girl or boy,man or woman, if gambling do interest you then you would definitely be dealing with it and this is something that its reality on which there's no sense on trying out to separate those males and females on whatever things that it is available or services or whatever it would be because it would really be just that the same. It would be all according to someones interest and perspective towards gambling.
Just like me on which i do love to play but at the same time i do hate gambling on the sense that it would really be making you that wrecked or bankrupt because no one really likes on losing money
but for some entertainment then other people could really be able to deal with that.
