861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Much do you Value your Privacy in Gambling? on: October 20, 2023, 05:06:19 PM
With the given scenario, I would probably aim to claim my winnings and that included following KYC Procedures. Well, I do value my privacy as a gambler but on the same extent, it is the same reason why I do only play on popular and reputable gambling sites. Well indeed there’ll be no assurance that risks concerning my privacy might take place however, do I have any other choice? For sire I won’t let that money go. You already win and the requirement is already there; best thing to do is to just comply and if you’re not comfortable with it then avoid playing to that platform after you claim your prize. From being in this industry for years, I have never encountered problems related to KYC Compliance and that is probably because the platforms I usually engage myself with has a reputaion and for sure they won’t throw it for such small amount in comparison to how much they are earning to most of its players.
862  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports bets or in-house games, which is best for the weekend. on: October 19, 2023, 07:42:55 PM
Sport bets vs in-house games which is most enjoyable and has a higher tendency of bringing much winning compared to it possibility of losing?
In my case the suggestion will be for you that, which bets do you like to play more? Another thing that can be factored here is to go which of these two are you better at? If you enjoy sports games more and in this case you have good knowledge about that game then I would say that it will be best for you to select sports games.
On the other hand, if you have more skills in in-house games and you like to do that too, then choosing in-house games will not be bad for you.
Anyway, in my case, it is only about sports because I get pleasure from watching sports and the pleasure can be increased a little more with some betting. Everyone's preferences are not the same, so I'd say it's better for you to do what you like best and what you're good at

You can’t be good with in house games and other pure luck gambling games. However, in sports betting, analysis would work to lessen the risk of losing. But I do agree with knowing where you are good at; to put it in sportsbetting is to choose which sport you are familiar with and avoid blind bets or betting with sports you know nothing about. In such way you would be able to enjoy your gambling experience more not only in weekends but also with regular days. Problem in some instances are players who are betting to any game just for the sake that they would have a chance of winning and disregarding the risk of losing. Blind bets are alike with playing in house games ‘coz you have no full control of the outcome.
863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ban from a Casino for Nothing Other Than Winning Too Much Money on: October 19, 2023, 06:32:14 PM
I don’t get it; the gambler won’t win constinuously ‘coz that’s impossible. Also, no matter how big a gambler would wage, a single player’s bet (considering that it is city’s best casino) won’t be enough to cause trouble with the overall bankroll. Maybe this is just an isolated case and others won’t do the same thing.There are other ways to resolve this than to immediately ban a player. Gambling platforms should love players who stake high ‘coz they’d earn from him.If these casinos would continue doing this, then they shouldn’t be in line with the “best” ‘coz they are not having the right bankroll distribution which threatens them of bankruptcy. Problem is not with the gambler but the casino itself.
864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 19, 2023, 05:52:07 PM
It is not gambling which is being learned but taking the risk inspite of the consequences. Gambling comes second once or as the child grows up being aware of how money is being used. They won’t instantly know how gambling works if they won’t see anyone doing it. Even with cartoons they would indirectly see its concept then will eventually associate it with things such as with proving things and using a bet as a support to their claim, and so fort. It is a bad thing indeed but we just canot control every environment they would be exposed of; we just guide them on their way as they grow up. Learned things can be unlearned or remastered.
865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Play equal to deposited funds before you can withdraw on: October 19, 2023, 05:16:45 PM
Who else finds this requirements from casinos BS?

That's what's called a wagering requirement. I don't consider it to be BS, though; they have their own rules, and as long as it doesn't break the law, that's fine. You know, I understand the reason behind it. They want to ensure that their platform won't be abused by players whose intention is just to mix their funds. So, I think it's reasonable to implement these rules because, in the first place, when you deposit funds, you intend to gamble with them, right?
Quite unfair to some ‘coz there are players who accepts their loss and just wanting to stop already than to lose everything that they have deposited. But indeed wagering requirements vary from one gambling site to another. Unfortunately there are sites who tends to change the required wager which is quite a downside to those who are unaware of such feat.
This is a common rule in most casinos and it is nice because I don't see any reason why you will fund your gambling wallet and you are not ready to gamble with some amount, and later you come back to make withdrawal. This will make the casinos raise eye browns towards your action. It is not also fair to show the casino that you have funds and don't want to use the money to enjoy their service, since they are not banks, where anyone will just dump some money and withdraw immediately. One should note that if you don't want to use that money for gambling, there is no need that you put it into your gambling wallet, if not you will not be given access to withdraw it you wager.

Gamblers who complain about this rule are usually not committed gamblers, as they aren't sure if they're ready to risk what they have. When we gamble, we must understand that the amount we deposit should be ready for action, not something we just leave sitting in a casino, spend a little of your deposit, and eventually withdraw it. It's like you're wasting your time and the casino's time. If you're going to gamble, do it wholeheartedly, as that's where the real enjoyment is found. Gamblers aren't known for being timid, right? We even go all-in when we're desperate.
Well, I won’t invalidate those who does this. There are circumstances we cannot control and those which are unexpected. These are the instances which often pushes gamblers to pull out what they still have than to gamble their luck and be left with nothing which is obviously a bigger problem.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Question for those who loose too frequently in gambling on: October 18, 2023, 06:07:11 PM
They’ve lost an amount, what drives them is to get back with their losses and hope to win. I experienced losing for a week and I almost stop there however, I chose to just manage the amount I can afford losing and just continued what I was doing. Changing the game you are playong would atleast give you a bigger chance to win ‘coz pushing it through will just make losses bigger. If you choose to quit then that would be fine; we all have different levels of tolerance with our losses by the way,so better discover yours. Luck exists in our bodies but it won’t come in an instant and won’t take place on a daily basis. Therefore prevention would be the best thing do do; implying self discipline and limitation could little by little help you regain the losses.
867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Credit card gambling fuels gambling addiction on: October 18, 2023, 05:37:59 PM
Using a debit card to gamble also risks losing large amounts of money. People need to insert their debit card to deposit money and they can start playing. And if they lose and lose all their money, they can deposit another amount directly from their debit card. And that's where problem after problem will arise and they will start losing more money on their debit card than they could ever imagine.

Using a credit or debit card will not allow you to make money but you could lose all the money. And if you use a credit card, you will have to pay a very large bill if you continue to deposit money to gamble. And that has happened to many people so they have to be careful when using their money to gamble.
In my country banks hardly issue credit cards because our financial system is still growing. Another reason might be because the National Identity System of my country is not very functional. But gambling with your debit card is like using your funds to stake. But gambling with a credit card is gambling with the money you don't even have. It is like borrowing with interest for gambling. Using both credit and debit cards can fuel gambling addiction but I think credit cards will have more negative consequences. It would have been better if the government restricted the use of credit cards because it can plunge someone into deep debt. 
Risk would be bigger; imagine impulsive gamblers betting huge amount simply because for them it would be ‘free money’ if ever they would be continuously winning. Unfortunately there’s no such thing as consistent in this industry. A hard earned money would be harder to spend to something which would give you uncertainty while an amount which is not yet in your hands, with a mindset of being able to pay it partially, would be easier for sure. A gambler could be careless with gambling using credit card and not minding the total to be paid. Losing is more certain in gambling and in such way, you’d just be a gambler surprised of the amount of debt you are facing. However I won’t associate this to gambling addiction and rather poor decision making. Imagine paying the interest of the amount you have borrowed and gambled. It would obviously be bigger than it should be.
868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some gambling questions. on: October 17, 2023, 06:32:38 PM
Some gambling questions I want to ask please answer.

How many percent of signature earnings you gamble away?
My salaries 5%.

Do you prefer Fiat or crypto at a display currency?
I use fiat.

What is your favorite game you play all the time?
Mine Mines.

What is your favorite casino platform?
My BC game

Are you a responsible gambler?
yes.


Percentage? I’m just using my extra money on sportsbetting at Stake and only if I want to watch the game itself.I do bet using crypto but there are times I am using Fiat.I could say that I am a responsible gambler simply because I know how to properly manage my funds and avoid betting amounts I cannot afford for the sake of winning big. If you’re a responsible gambler and is using a percentage of your salary not only with signature campaigns, then it would depend to the margin of that percentage ‘coz even if it is a small percentage but the amount itself is crossing the line for your tolerance; having no feelings of regret no matter what the outcome is. Also it is being irresponsible if you are promoting this activity to your friends ‘coz you are sinply dragging and exposing them to the risk carried by gambling towards its players.
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? on: October 17, 2023, 05:55:56 PM
Nope, even if I am already on a legal age; I still do not let them know about this activity of mine. One reason is stereotype that I’d end up addicted into it but in reality it just depends on the type of gambler you are. Second is because I am using my own money which makes me authorized to where would I be using it. In short it would be much better not to in order to avoid making things more complicated. Of course if I were them I wouldn’t also allow my future child to gamble ‘coz I know the risk. He/she might probably gamble once in his life but I will never support it. Since I am doing something against their will then I guess there’s really no need to involve other or more people towards this activity. Fewer the better as I would like it to.
870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 17, 2023, 05:21:38 PM
Best thing to do is to take a pause and allot money if you are wanting to play again. If greed will only be the factor to keep you playing then that would be the time where you would be problematic as a gambler. Luck itself won’t take place in a daily basis so better seek for assurance with our winnings. Of course emotions would be there which could give us feelings of “trying and making it bigger”. However, it is given that this is a game of chances; not because you won big time, it would guarantee continuous winning bets. Well in some instances this happens, but to majority it does not. You’d just end up with regrets from not securing your winnings if ever fate flips its way around. Better to have a mindset that you already have it and making it bigger should come the other day.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 17, 2023, 04:44:17 PM
To do so? Probably not. But will rather end it by initiative if ever I become problematic with this activity. So far I am earning even if it is not as big as the others, I still consider it as one of my resources when it comes to bills. I also enjoy sportsbetting which for me adds excitement and thrill rather than just watching the game. Unless she has a valid reason to do so in particular with things which are actually occuring; they might associate it with cases concerning addiction but if I’m not falling into such situation then I guess that would be the time wherein it won’t be valid. And if they won’t be rational with such claim then I’d be defending this activity.
872  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Vs Gold, land which better? on: October 16, 2023, 06:16:12 PM
I got into Bitcoin as a college student though I am not involved in earning yet but I have a lot of interest in Bitcoin and I am planning to hold Bitcoin. My father is a Malaysian expatriate. He receives a salary of $500 per month and sends $400 per month to support my family. I collect all the money from my father's salary and spend it for family support. Recently I have made a plan to invest a certain part of my father's salary remittance in Bitcoin but in this case I don't understand whether it should be invested in Bitcoin. I paid attention to invest in bitcoin seeing the popularity and future importance of bitcoin but my father and mother from my family have no knowledge of bitcoin so they keep persuading me to invest in bitcoin.

My parents thought that bitcoins that cannot be seen or touched cannot be an asset. They think that investing in physical assets such as gold, bank deposits, land etc. is more profitable than Bitcoin. But even after I convinced them, they are not ready to invest in Bitcoin. They don't want to believe in virtual currency.

Right now I want your important advice on how to convince them.

Trust me, deciding to invest in something is not easy at all, especially when you don't know at all what you are investing in, but one thing you have to understand, you won't lose anything if you invest in Bitcoin because you can invest with money whatever in bitcoin even $1, whereas in gold and property, you need a lot of money to be able to invest there.

if we look back at the past, there were many people who invested in bitcoin at the beginning who didn't know what bitcoin was, so you need to think like them, be sure if you use the DCA concept, in the next few years, the value of your money investing in bitcoin will increase greatly.
If it is not totally your money, then why would you spend it, right mate? This is what caught my attention more. You choose as many as investment you can think of but never be too optimistic with this industry and with other field of investment.Only invest your ‘extra money’ no matter how strong your feelings and belief are.Gold has its own advantage such as global acceptance. With Bitcoin, profit is within its market price volatility, higher than with other assets.And with land investments, same with Gold; overtime its price will increase but would you be patient enough as an investor, to wait for years to generate an amount you can reinvest.
873  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto analysis: Will the price of Bitcoin go up soon after hitting a low point? on: October 16, 2023, 05:55:05 PM
Technically the market price would go up once it touches the demand zone but the increase won’t happen in an instant. There could be long candles and all but won’t go straight from $25k to $30k in a single day. Extreme volatility would be expected ‘coz some big investors would be trying to push it lower before they actually buy an amount to be held until its market price is at peak again; this is how it simply works but on the actual things won’t be too easy ‘coz there would be underlying factors behind every market price change. Same thing whenever the market price is reaching the ceiling; it would more likely play between certain price points before its value takes a flight. If thereare no related news to create such big wave, then things may change still so better be careful on such entries; never go against the trend and wait for the right price indicator.
874  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: October 16, 2023, 05:35:44 PM
Things has really changed unlike before when a graduate is coming out from the university their are job opportunities around the corners, people don't even stress themselves to acquire skills as an alternative just in case they don't get a job. Getting a job as a graduate some years back was a thing never to argue about or think about.  In this recent time things have really changed, expecting so much from the government as a graduate can lead people into serious problems.  The life we live now is so unpredictable, no one can be sure of practicing their desired career from what they have learnt in school.

I think if people really want to be happy in life, expecially undergraduates and young graduate they should learn not to give all expectations of having living job from the government.  If people create the mindset of being creative and productive in this era they will live a more happy life than putting all expectations of getting a dream job from the government.  A productive mindset is what young people needs to make life easy and worth living.
Having a creative mindset won’t give it all to you. There are times you need to be practical especially to those who are less privileged in life and one way to do it is to get a regular job to give them a start. Of course it would be time-consuming but since they’re ones who won’t afford taking the risk to follow their ‘artistic minds’ , then they should first build a milestone or foundation. And once they’re emotionally and financially ready someday, they could engage to things which would make them happier. We should consider our differences with circumstances when creating such idealistic approach. There are many people who had huge dreams when they were still young but only a few managed to actually do so.It will also depend on how you would define happiness.
875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think? Selling all or not on: October 16, 2023, 04:48:17 PM
Depends on your vision as an investor. But eitherway, investing is the best thing to do. You may sell during the bulltrend and buy on the dip; the market price won’t continuously increase in a consistent manner. However in such way, you’d stress out with every market price movement but will be able to maximize the profit. You may also just hold until satisfactory. Think of how early investors are at advantage right now problem only is waiting for years, but if you can manage to do so then that would be good. Creating partial selling and holding would also be an option however you would have feelings of regrets depending on the market price movement; if the market price continued to increase upon selling some of your asset and if the market price would suddenly fall which leaves you at the middle and without knowing when will recovery occur.
876  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which old coin do you prefer? Litecoin or Dogecoin? on: October 16, 2023, 04:23:39 PM
I personally won’t choose either but for the sake of the topic, I’d say Litecoin has an advantage. Ofcourse Doge has larger demand nowadays because of the hype created by meme tokens. But to put it aside, Litecoin has been in this industry for years which for me, adds credibility from investing into it. Dogecoin is indeed more profitable but I just cannot gauge its volatility which is most of the time controlled by whales and FOMOs, more than established coins in this industry. Choosing between the two relies on the purpose. If it is with more profit then Doge, but if it is some sort of market sustainability then I think Litecoin would be a good choice as well. Again, have no investment on these two.
877  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 15, 2023, 11:58:49 PM
It is possible however if your bets aren’t that high then you will be needing another source of income to help you out in times of need. We all know that there will always be inconsistencies with the outcome of our bets and losing is more frequent most of the time and in most instances. I have a friend of mine who is making a living out of sportsbetting. I really don’t know how but it works for him. The last time I checked for him, he said he is betting in multiple matches with small amounts. There are also people who literally made millions in gambling industry but ofcourse that won’t happen in an instant and on a regular basis. You would win big time but the way how you would manage your funds will also be a factor to determine whether you would be successful in any industry or not.
878  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it easy to trust someone? on: October 15, 2023, 07:02:52 PM
Trust is the simplest yet the hardest thing to earn from other people and even with oneself.Even with relatives, partner, and own blood could be in conflict when it comes on your trust.If you cannot put your trust to other people then for sure you have your own reason, especially if it concerns money which is one of the biggest factor to instill and gain the trust. If you plan not to share some of your wealth to others then atleast know the downside; life is short and if you(hoping you won’t) would die today bot allowing anyone to access your cryptosavings, then prepare for the possible struggles of your action.Trusting someone is a part in our life but allowing anyone to know your private keys and details then it won.
879  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: October 15, 2023, 06:33:48 PM
Bitcoin still has its limitations. It may indeed generate bigger profit as an invest in comparison to others but,price increase alone won’t make an asset the best. First of all it depends on the type of investor you are. Some will have doubts toward this industry and that’s valid; adoption of its usage is still in the verge, huge price movements and the likes. Bitcoin is a good investment no doubt but to push people towards this industry is,for me, a negative thing to do and will just be better to wait for non-bitcoin users to have their own initiative on cryptocurrency. Let them doubt and seek for answers themselves.
880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Drake's Curse. on: October 15, 2023, 06:08:14 PM
Drake is a gambler that gambles with huge amount of money and not only on fights but he also gamble on stake with big funds. To him that is peanut compared to what he has, because he has an investment that pays him. So there is no need for us to worry about someone who has taken gambling as a means of spending his funds.

As for me, that is a huge amount of money down here in my country and I wouldn't work anymore for rest of my life because of the country that I am from, and that will be enough for me till when I will go and see my ancestors. This is the same with some of us but check out that Nigga, just gambled with it as if it is nothing. It is nothing to him but something very big to the public.
Drake knows his numbers very well. He won’t gamble an amount he cannot afford losing unlike us wherein that loss of him would put us in the grave. That’s just how gambling works; if the other way around happened, we’d be in both awe and envy. Higher the risk, higher the reward. For sure there are other people out there who are betting bigger amounts than ours, and we just have different level of tolerance.Drake has been losing amounts in such value not only in this fans so for sure he won’t be as down as with all of us. If he’d be in huge debt then for sure he won’t let it end in such way.
