This have been discussed few times before and someone have to do it again maybe often, for those of you looking to become a gambler what is your motives behind it? To make money? Or to have some fun? Here is my advice to everyone of you.
Why not treat casinos the same ways like you are going to the movies or bowling? You are simply paying for the experience and the entertainment, it's either you enjoy it or you may not, can you feel me? You don't know how bad a movie can be until you watched it, so....
For the movies though, there are trailers that you can see before you may want to watch that movie, so that is a bad analogy to begin with. Unlike when you go to casinos, you don't know if you are going to win or not. and 99% of the time is that you are going to lose. Casinos, either online or offline, isn't a place to win money for the 99% of people, but this same group of people want to confused or already confused themselves that they can make money gambling, this isn't the proper way. It's meant to be for fun and not so serious like your life depends on it.
Yeah, but when you go to casinos, you will at least be positive and think that you are going to win. If not then good, at least bring money that you can afford to lose. So that it won't be a issue for you if you win or lose money. If you want your life to goes on with ease, learn to be a fun gambler and not too dependent on gambling, this is what gets people f**ked, the reality of gambling is you win when it's not even expected, be a responsible gambler.
It's not that easy though because gambler will be gamblers. They are their to win some money no matter what. Of course, they will be entertained at some point. But if you continue to lose money just for the sake of being entertained, then think again. |

We all want to save money, but it's not always easy.
There are so many things that tempt us to spend, unexpected bills that pop up, and it can be hard to make ends meet.
How do you manage to save in a world that encourages spending? Let's talk about it.
Share your ideas, tips, and stories about saving money, and together, we can figure out how to get better at it. (We will also draw valuable lessons from the mistakes and experiences of others.)
There are two ways to save money, either cut down your expenses so you don't spend all your salary each month, or increase your income by finding a side business. It's hard to give general advice without knowing more about the situation someone is in. For example, maybe you are helping your family out because a family member is sick or your wife is pregnant and will have to look after the kids. There are many situations where even if we really want to it's going hard to save any additional money. The best approach here for me is to write down any expenses I have each month and try to find unnecessary items that I can reduce. It's a bit difficult to write even the smallest purchase during the middle of the day, but with an excel sheet on my phone I can make small entries all the time and put in a better order during the weekend. The other approach when we can't save money by reducing our expenses is to get additional income, like a part time job on the weekends or starting a new hobby that brings in some money like trading and investing. One good side hustle that helped me earn some money is to sell old things on eBay. I managed to clean out the basement for my parents, my grandmother and my own basement to find a lot of things that nobody is using anymore and that still have value. It's quite time consuming to take photos, put it online and pack&ship the things around. But once you accumulate some profits and start investing them, they will start to grow quickly. I would prefer the latter though, and only if everyone's mindset will be different, we should all look for a side hustle or even a business if we have save enough money and take that big risk. And as we mature, we understand that working a regular 9-5 desk job is not the way to make our selves rich. We really need to be the boss and that we could only accomplished that if we become entrepreneur. For saving money there's a lot of ways, but what we will do on those money that we have save? We can't just put in in banks and expects that it will earn passively. That's why business could be the way for us, or simply investing here, in crypto. But then again, we should really learn to diversify as well to really grow our portfolio and learn how we can make more money. |

As a gambler, from when I leave the house down to the casino prior to getting there I normally project specific amount that should I probably hit am turning around to leave for home immediately. And am quite sure am ain't the only one who have for one had this plan thought wrapped in his head, some persons might have too.
Just in case, what amount will be looking like a nice hit for you to leave a casino just immediately for maybe your first, second or third hit on the machine as you have just walked in?
It' very hard what to think what kind of amount that I'm looking for a hit when I just started my gambling session. But obviously, we want to stay on the +side whenever we can, regardless of what games are we going to play on that particular day. So maybe as little as x2 will be good to take home. Yes, more is better, but as what we have been saying, it's better to stop when we have our capital and some winning money. So for me there is no target, because if you think about it, let's say you want like x3 or higher. And if by chance you can go there, and only can hit x2, then you will continue to look for more which is not good because you luck might go on a sudden U-turn and you regret that you didn't quit when you still have that x2 in your wallet. |

So currently Marlon Tapales is training hard in the US. He is sparring with former champion Mark Magsayo. Maybe it is beneficial to test his strength and toughness since Magsayo is big and is a hard puncher. But other than that, Magsayo is not the ideal sparring partner for Tapales. Tapales needs to spar someone who is like or can replicate Inoue who is small but quick, explosive, and has a high IQ.
Yes, maybe Tapales camp wanted to see how he can take big punches from Mark Magsayo and feel everything. So this training is more of the punch resistance, and they are going to see how Tapales will react if hit my Magsayo to replicate somewhat of the power of Inoue. If Tapales can't take it, then he will have a problem as boxers can't train how to have a solid chin. Although there could be exercise like strengthening their neck. Tapales might relocate his next stage of training to Baguio, Philippines. It is a high-altitude location and has nearly the same weather as Japan so it should be good. Former world title challenger Vincent Astrolabio and undefeated prospect Carl Jammes Martin already said they are willing to help Tapales through sparring.
No one can really replicate the style of Inoue. But if Astrolabio or even Martin can at least emulate then it's good for Tapales. At least though every one is willing to help Tapales and train very hard against Inoue because they know it's going to be very though for him. So every help is appreciate. And it's typical of Filipino culture though, the are going to help whatever way they can to boost Tapales chance. |

I think the question is not popular. They already have audience, before they stream casino most of them are are gamers (the audience are not from gambling). The real question, why people still watching even they're fake ? the reason is because most of the stream have (Giveaway) points on their stream system, that's the reason why people still watch these guys even they're doing a fake stream.
Take for example Drake, in almost every stream he does, he usually have this giveaways, he even called individuals personally, facetime them and so to the audience that indeed there is a person on the other side and that everything seems to be real, I mean the money that he is giving away. But it could come to Stake themselves as we all know that they sponsored him. And also, those who are being called supposedly sign up under Drake, so there is where the source of the money is. Them sign under him as a affiliate and then he gives them money. Sure way, like win win for all party and then he can also make money too to those who are watching every streams. |

Not that I'm a charting expert or a good technical or fundamental analyst let alone a bear, but I'm really surprised at the spike that's happened, and which is probably continuously happening as of this writing. So far, the price has already hit above $34,000. That's already more than 12% in growth in just 24 hours.
Has anybody somehow expected this kind of thing? Has anybody had at least a tiny clue that something like this would happen? I know Uptobers have been good months, but every huge increase especially a sudden one must have a big reason. I'm not seeing one that could push such growth so fast. I was really caught by surprise. Will a Bitcoin spot ETF be certainly approved soon that insiders have already relayed to their bosses the good news and the accumulation has secretly grown stronger?
The only thing that we can look is Bitcoin's past history as far as October goes. And with that it seems that we are very bullish right now. Specially with the biggest news about the imminent Bitcoin Spot ETF being approved as it was already listed by Nasdaq. So maybe those who is good at technical analysis might see or not see this kind of bullish movement. And it could really fit on the narrative that at the end of the year, we might see at least $40,000-$50,000. So everything is falling right now as compare to last year wherein we have seen the lowest low around November. But this year it will be very different. |

Just saw a video about this fight pop up on my Facebook feed, so I thought I'd check our thread here. Let's give it a little bump so it doesn't get lost. This fight is just around the corner, less than a month away, if the date hasn't changed.
Anyone got any new scoop on this fight? Please share the info if you've got it.
So far there is no scoop yet, so this fight is still on schedule unless we hear that it's going to be re-scheduled or worst being cancelled. And with that, the date is still November 15 an yeah, the fight date is getting closer and for fans of Jerwin, this is really a good chance to get another belt. And I agree, it seems that the Japanese is talking over as far as the number of champions in boxing in the Asian region. There were years that the Filipino has Manny, Nonito, Donnie Nietes, but they all retired or in case of Nonito, we don't know if he is going to still continue to fight or just hang up his gloves too. And so they need to breed good boxers so that the country will have a lot of champions. Let's see if Ancajas once again will get the belt and at least have a Filipino with a championship belt before the end of the year. Ever since I followed boxing during my high school days I thought it was really the Japanese that were dominating the Asian scenes. Thailand is next and then the Philippines at third. If only the Philippine government and business sponsors focused on the sport that they are really world class then it can easily surpass Thailand and rival the Japanese. But there were times that the Filipino has taken the stage from the Japanese, when at one time they have Pacquiao, Donaire, Hawaiian Punch Villoria or even Nietes and Penalosa. And you won't hear like Japan vs Mexico. It was all Filipinos vs Mexico in the lower weight class and see what nation is the best. There are 17 divisions in men's boxing and 4 major belts. The Ring Magazine only awards its belts to the very best in a division but if we count it as well that would make it 85 belts. At the moment Japan owns 11 belts compared to the Philippines 2 which comes from Marlon Tapales who's expected to lose it all this year to Inoue.
Meanwhile, Ancajas' main sparmate is unified champion Marlon Tapales which is not bad at all. Although Takuma is much faster than Tapales.
It's obvious that when the best Filipino boxers retire, it's time for other nation to steal the limelight for them. So far, it's the Japanese again in the lower division. So hopefully, Filipino can regain their glory and restore their pride as one of the best country that produces world champion. |

Yeah I tried slots with my friends account and it's winning small amount at first then lose streak followed. 😅 Anyways thanks for sharing tips, it will surely help others minimize loses and of course maintain the essence of intertainment instead of taking it seriously.
That's always been the case for slots though, as per my experienced, in the beginning you will see that you are winning. But if you continue to play for a long time, odds will catch up on you and obviously, you are going to enjoy slot games because of the adrenaline rush. However, it's one of the quickest way to lose money in online or even when you go to traditional based casinos. I still play slots though, but not regularly or how I used to be addicted to them. Sometimes going to max bet for every spin and see how my luck it. So yes, just play for entertainment and just play with the money that you can afford to lose. Because once you are hook to slot games, it's very very hard to quit. |

If Ngannou manages to beat Fury, he will need to do it twice because of a rematch clause.
They have a rematch clause in the contract? That is strange and unusual. Because for the boxing world, Ngannou is nobody. He has big name, fighting record, he is familiar as a vicious knockout artist and people would pay to see him fight. But he zero ranking in boxing. I really doubt that boxing promotions will let their champion fight unranked guy twice. I would even say that boxing association would simply forbid that, because their fight slows down whole division. Their second fight means that other boxers must wait 6-12 months before champion will be ready to do his obligatory title defence. Although Tyson Fury has denied it, there are news that are floating around that indeed there is a rematch clause. It's understandable though, maybe the camp of Fury just want to make sure that if by small chance they got defeated by Francis here, there will be a second fight and Tyson Fury will be able to get back his belt and obviously the money is still going to be in the table. But in seems though that everyone is already looking past Ngannou because they've said that a Fury vs Usyk is going to happen next in the Middle East as well. Just a couple more days for this fight. Everything is already set up, and obviously good marketing by the promotional team behind this fight. |

Currently DT is working hard to identify buying and selling accounts, so I think the existing system is good. Let the forum take care of all this
Do you know what DT is and which DT members are "working hard" on that problem? It used to be possible to buy and sell BTT accounts without any sanctions, then people started getting red tags only if they asked if it was possible to buy a BTT account, and today there are members who sell BTT accounts for months without having a single red tag from DT1 members. I would conclude that the majority simply do not care and do not want to spend their time on such things. Yes, most likely that is the case now, seen some who still continue to sell accounts and they don't care if they are getting negative tag because it really doesn't have any effect on on them. And for most DT members, just a waste of time for them. And if one account is getting tag, comes 2 or even more accounts popping up to continue to sell. The only solution is to outright ban account sellers, but as I have said, they will just create more accounts and willing to pay for it. And then continue what they've used to. And as long as there are account buyers, this sellers are going to stay here. |

And from what I understand, they have known it already since 2022. And it require some technical know how to be able to pull this one out successful. So far the exploits haven't been seen in the wild.
Obviously, he is not the only developer, so it this has been found out already, a patch can be made. Just a matter of time.
So the future still looks bright for LN, this is just another bump in the road, and just like any other softwares, there could be bugs to be fixed.

Early hours of today, one of the Nigeria billionaire business man E money shared his bet slip online for fans to see how much he splashed on the game between Chelsea vs Asernal which already on and Cheslea leading with 1:0, this brought me to the point of asking what your opinion on celebrities staking higher amount and still be ok to publicly show it and do not feel any thing even if the ticket cut just like what happened to Drake last few weeks back.
That is the keyword already, he is a billionaire, so obviously, he just want to let everyone know how much he gamble, but big the bet is and in the end, doesn't matter to him if he wins or lose. What's important as I look at it, is to get across that he has tons of money, in short he wants attention. So this is on contrary on some billionaires, who works very hard and don't gamble at all. We can't blame them though, I don't know his real story, but it could be a rag to riches, success story of this Nigerian socialite. And I don't know if his bet won or not, for us gamblers though, there's nothing to envy about it. Again, he wants to flaunt but for casual gamblers, we will not to that even if we have a lot of money. |

Jack Catterall vs Jorge Linares, no knockdown happen, Jack did his best to score but Linares has avoided that knockout. So it's pretty much a chess game all throughout but Jack is clearly winning on points as his left hand always finds it's target. So the score is all in favour of Catterall: 117-111, and 116-112. We were expecting that Josh Taylor will give Catterall his chance for a rematch as a domestic rival. But we all know that Taylor chooses to fight Teo Lopez and he was dominated and lost his belt. So there's no more hype of a Catterall and Taylor rematch. Here are the highlight of the fight, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fDt17FsjfW4 |

And it's going to be very interesting of someone for Cointelegraph makes a trade out of this news and then makes a lot of money? It's hard to proved though, but if there is one, then obviously this is what we call manipulation at the highest. But I don't think that someone can be proven guilty and then sent to jail. Another example though how the state of crypto journalism, this so called crypto outlets, they themselves doesn't have even access or someone rouge inside has accessed to their official account. It means that their security is also poor. In any case this is what their Post Mortem report says: https://cointelegraph.com/news/clarification-sharing-false-spot-bitcoin-etf-news |

I think Loop puts effort in proving that Hal Finney is indeed not Satoshi. But how many of us here believed though that Finney=Satoshi? From the very beginning, I doubt that Hal is Satoshi. He might be just one of those individuals who really see what Bitcoin can really do and as a developer he has to interact with Satoshi, mined Bitcoin and other contributions he had did in the past.
And most likely this article will be added to the annals of Bitcoin history.

I heard flash bitcoins (Fake bitcoins) are circulating. They disappear after 90 days. Now if these do exist, crypto market will crash! Anyone see this as a threat? Everyone denying? Should I Short BTC on the long run? Any information is appreciated. Thanks  There's no such thing as a chain of disappearing transactions in BTC. And it you heard something about it, most likely it's a scam. Although there is a good discussion about a Fake walle.dat can trick bitcoin core client?. So to answer the question is it a threat? No. The best advise is that continue to accumulate we are getting to the block halving, and next year could be the start of a massive bull run. Better be ready. |

I might be seeing another Crawford vs Spence fight. Shakur likes to play like Crawford, while for me De los Santos fights like Spence. So it's a copy fight and we all know how it ended. De los Santos is a good boxer with power, but Shakur will figure it out how to beat him, and uses his boxing IQ. So maybe it's going to be +7.5 rounds, with Shakur winning by KO/TKO. But still though, this is a great fight and we will see Shakurs skills and technique.
This is a different kind of fight – a champion versus a non-champion. That bout between Spence and Crawford was an undisputed fight, while in this case, Shakur isn't facing a world champion. So, I'm not setting my expectations too high for this one. It seems like it could be more of a tune-up fight for Shakur. Maybe a little similar in the way that De Los Santos has to be the aggressor here and try hard to land his big shots on Shakur. Shakur is the one to use his footwork to stay away from engaging and use his skills to hit and not get hit. Yes, it could be that scenario that Edwin will try to go and make Shakur not comfortable in the becoming. So he could be the aggressor and try to test how good Shakur are, specially avoiding that power of De Los Santos early. Or if he is hit, then how he will react, he has proven his chin so far, but we are now sure if the power of a natural 135 lbs can have a effect of him. But in terms of experience, Shakur might be fighting only the 2nd time in this division but the experience difference is just too wide. Shakur is a silver medalist in the Olympics, a 2 division champion, a 1-time lineal champ, and a unified champion. While he is a regular 135 fighter, this is the first time De Los Santos is fighting a 12-round event let alone his first championship fight.
No doubt about it, in terms of experience, Shakur has the advantage as he faces a lot of great boxers as well in the past. And the weight though, it seems that he is very comfortable now at 135 lbs, no more weight training and I think it will have a positive effect on him. And with that, I'm expecting a great win by Shakur to cemented his position as the best 135 lbs, next to Devin Haney, on the strength that Haney is the undisputed champion at this weight class. |

Tsitsipas v Hanfmann
Tsitsipas has been out of form for a while and he stopped the bad run with a win against Van De Zandschlup. Today he has a more serious match against Hanfmann. Hanfmann played a long 3-set match against Thiem and this is in Tsitsipas' favor. Still, Tsitsipas is not very confident this season and even if he wins, it could be a long match.
He is a great player but seems to have difficulty showing his greatness so some tournaments can only last a few rounds, if he can win and get to the final and can be champion it is actually normal because he also did it at the ATP 250 Los Cabos and it looks like it will be a second title for this year. Tsitsipas has changed his coach several times and recently he has done it again while still having his father as one of his team. We will see whether the change in coach will make a difference to his career, as well as Holger Rune who is no longer with Patrick Mouratoglou and now he has appointed Boris Becker as the coach because he was quite disappointed with the results he got this year. Boris Becker has quite a tough task because at the end of October, there will be the Paris Masters where Rune is the defending champion. If he hasn't found his best form, the title will be lost and many young players will have difficulty defending the title. Yeah, and it seems that Tsitsipas won against Hanfmann,  https://twitter.com/atptour/status/1715436948876153211I haven't follow my tennis for months now, however, there could be some members here who knows that I'm a big fan of Tsitsipas way before he really had a break out performance like years ago. However, I will have to agree as a big fan of his that he hasn't reach his full potential, or maybe did peak already and now he can't pass that stage to become great as there are players that have over took him recently. He could still be in the hunt at year's end bid to return to the Nitto ATP Finals. |

The best advice for gambling responsibly is to develop good habits. Many gamblers forget that gambling should be for enjoyment. When you gamble, it's important to know when to stop, keep track of your bets and losses. I've witnessed situations where people lose a significant amount of money but refuse to quit and keep playing. Is this bravery or foolishness? In the end, they tarnish the reputation of responsible gamblers. If you choose to gamble, do it responsibly.
To a certain extent yeah, just gamble and have some fun. But just imagine this, if you go to land base casino for example, you see a lot of gamblers playing slots of card games, what do you think is the percentage of them playing and just want to be entertained? Right, majority of them wanted to go and win some money too and just just losing every time just for the sake of having some fun of whatnot. I don't believed that if you continue to lost some money, specially big ones, that you are happy and not be affected mentally by the money that you are losing. I'm just calling it how I see it, this is not an attack or something who says that "they go for it just for entertainment". The only way to stop gambling is to not really stepping on a land based casinos or try playing online. Because sooner or later you are going to be hooked on, admit it or not. |
