921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Committed Suicide After Losing School fees, And That Of Friend To Betting.. on: June 04, 2023, 01:37:21 AM
It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story..
According to the article, this happened before about him spending his school fees and use it on sports betting. The parents are aware of his gambling activity but clearly unable to control their son to stop this habit. Then it came to worst when he spent his school fees as well as his friend's money on sports betting. He can't handle the situation so he chose to end his life not knowing it can only create more problems to the living people. It's really a sad story and a lesson for gamblers to think before using their money in gambling.

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..
I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story 😢😢.
Suicide is not a solution for every problem. Unfortunately some people are thinking it's the only way to stop the depressing situation that they have been going through. In times like this it's important that you have someone that can talk to that will give you advices and cheer you up to never lose hope.
922  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: A long term investor here, thinking about adding RoLLBit Token on: June 04, 2023, 12:25:27 AM
I have seen many gambling tokens and most of them didn't survive and even got into controversies. I am not here to discourage or tell something negative but just like any other crypto, they can't skip when the market is highly volatile.

If you don't gamble there, you will not enjoy the benefits that it is providing for its holders. Much better if you maximize the usage and incentives that it gives to its holders.

But if you're fine and you'll invest just a spare money on it, that's what investing is.
yes you are right, not many casino tokens have been really successful, most of them just disappeared, but I don't know about rollbit tokens, it seems they are still holding out and some other casino tokens, I am not a financial expert, nor am I a crypto expert, but just a suggestion you can use your token if there really is an incentive for holders to better store it on their site to benefit from it.
RLB token has uses on Rollbit platform. If you're a gambler there and wants to join the lottery, the token will serve as your entry ticket. You need to stake your RLB first (minimum of 10) in order to join. So as long as Rollbit is existing, then I believe RLB won't become worthless because it has uses on Rollbit's ecosystem.

But again, every investment always has a risk, when investing, don't expect that it will give you big profits, always remember that there is always a risk when investing, you see, most casino tokens always fail and never succeed or become big.
Indeed. Investing doesn't guarantee a sure profit because of the risk. The reason why we should not have high hopes when we invest our money. In addition, always DYOR and don't rely solely in suggestions.
923  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dad's retirement money is invested in Bitcoin! on: June 02, 2023, 07:27:32 AM
But one thing I've been wondering for a few days is if I invest half of my father's retirement allowance in Bitcoin, am I doing something wrong?
Is your father willing to invest half of his retirement money in Bitcoin or it's your idea? Investing in Bitcoin is profitable however let's not set aside the risk because anything is possible to happen. That being said, it's important that the amount you'll use to invest in Bitcoin is also the amount that you can afford to lose. It's the basic rule of investing.

I feel like if I invest half the amount in Bitcoin for a year after receiving his retirement allowance, I might be able to hand over more money to my dad at the end of the year.  
You can't be so certain everything will go as planned since Bitcoin's price is unpredictable. Yes there's a chance for it to soar high but there's no specific period when it will happen and it can take longer than you expected. Hence, it would be better to discuss this to your father so he's also aware of the possible consequences.
924  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is never enough! on: June 02, 2023, 04:59:30 AM
Think of when you hit a jackpot, and some cool cash slide into your pocket, you feels better and step up some pride and involved arrogance, you feel like you can buy the world with your peanuts lol, bro, I little shopping out of it can makes you look like a poor man again. There is this oil dealer guy in my community who happen to be hot market pro in the oil industry, he owns an oil well but this guy it gets to his head and start contesting for political power which he has lose twice now and the worst of it now is that the oil well is dried because suck the money into politics, loss everything. This money is never really enough, no wonder even the President of nations still fights to get money after office.
The guy in your story is not contented on the money he has so he tried to gain power in politics. Losing once can already make you realize that maybe that path is not meant for you, but he tried twice resulting to financial losses followed by his failing business. In this story the guy is just greedy for wanting more even he already have money.

So it's not because money is not enough, but it's because of the greed of people for not being contented despite of having sufficient money to live comfortably. So it depends for each person and their level of contentment.
925  Economy / Speculation / Re: Opportunity to buy on: June 02, 2023, 02:38:29 AM
This is a great deal of opportunity when the price of bitcoin keeps going down, I want you to seized the opportunity to buy and hip. We have no ideas what is currently happening to the market but all hope are not lost, bitcoin will take us for a surprise and I don't want to miss the chance or feel regrets not obtaining any amount of bitcoin. Even as bad as the price is, some people are still making cool money out of it, that's mean we never loss investment when you really understands the value of bitcoin. I know some will kick against my tips but what's your reasons?
The current situation is not really bad if you know how to take advantage it. However, some investors who don't have patience and did buy their Bitcoin at high price previously probably worrying now that it might drop further. That's understandable especially for newbies who just recently engage themselves. But if you did a research before investing (which is a must thing to do) then you won't be surprise on why the price is dropping since that's not unusual.

Anyway, we all want to buy at lower price but we can't accurately predict the bottom. Thus, just buy if you can afford the price since we don't know what might be the next movement of Bitcoin.
926  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: June 01, 2023, 09:31:22 AM
I have seen people who are really in need of mone.’But they are hesitent to borrow money. On the other hand there are some people who are habitual and they damage people financially.
They don't damage people but they damage their ownselves because of the habit of borrowing money. They think it's cool and easy for the lenders if they have the habit of it but when it's come to paying, they don't make it as a habit.

Not a problem when you're a borrower and you only do that sometimes and you're always paying on time. If there's a personal lender, you won't damage yourself on them.

But if you do this to the banks and other private lenders, you're the ones that's damaging yourself and you think that it's okay to flee and default from the loan you've made.
Some people made borrowing a habit but not responsible when it's already due to pay. Worst they're ignoring the lender as if it's nothing. Borrowing money can also ruin a relationship between the borrower and lender. I experienced this many times (most of them are relatives and close friends). At first you feel pity so you would like to help since they're promising to pay. But after they spend the money and after months of waiting, they just ignored you like they owe you nothing.

Well, it's fine to ask for loan but be a responsible borrower who knows the responsibility and won't run from it. In addition, do it if only necessary and not as habit for your wants.

Ang mga donors ay maaring magbigay ng Donors can send USDT, USDC, ETH, SLP, HEX, or TEXAN at makakatanggap sila ng $OPHIR bilang regalo.
Kapag nag donate ka meron kang matatanggap na $OPHIR bilang regalo kapalit ng pag donate mo, so para na rin itong investment. Kung talagang maganda ang intensyon ng pagbigay ng reward na to, dapat hindi muna nila ito idi disclose sa mag do donate para hindi sila aware sa matatanggap. Kasi kung alam na nila agad ang nangyayari parang binibili na lang nila itong $OPHIR as investment kaya na engganyo sila mag donate.

Agree ba kayo sa mga ganitong klaseng raket na gumagamit ng churches para makakuha ng investment/donation?
Sa totoo lang ang pag donate ay dapat bukal sa loob at walang kapalit. Pero kung gumawa ka ng isang bagay para mas i increase ng donator ang ibibigay nyang pera I think hindi ito tama. Regardless sa intention, hindi dapat ginagamit ang church para sa sariling kapakanan.

New memecoins seem to be a great investment if you get in on them early on.
# BART #DOGEAI #GREG  #DONS
But buy at your own risk when the % Is over 2000% already and most investors are looking to cashout.
https://coinmarketcap.com/view/memes/
It's good if you happen to buy before the price soar high but what if you're already late? This is the reason why it's not advisable to invest in meme coins due to high risk. Many investors failed to profit either because of their greed to gain more even the price is decent enough to sell or they missed the right timing to take profit.

That being said, if you're planning to invest in meme coins make sure that you're aware of the risk to be prepared for the worse case that can happen. Meme coins are for short term only hence if your plan is to hold for long term then choose an established coins instead.

oh, only 2 winners is quite competitive
I remember other contests had at least 2 winners in each category
That's true. In previous contest there are only 2 winners for each category hence it's quite competitive especially if many entries are submitted for the specific category. Only the best will be chosen so it's not really easy to win.

so can't we expect at least one winner in each category?
For each category there can be 1-4 winners depending on the number of submission. Good thing now there's a consolation prize (free spins) for those eligible participants and didn't made it to be on the list of winners.

Anyway, this is the last day of submission so post your artworks now before it's too late.
930  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: May 31, 2023, 04:56:25 AM
As we know, many gambling sites have Kyc requirements when making withdrawals. Some people may not have a problem with this condition, but some people think differently about doing Kyc. Some people refuse to fill in their Kyc data for fear of being misused. That's a natural thing, but is the worry too much?
It's understandable to be worried because it's not really safe to disclose your identity to any platform regardless how reputable or how high their security is. Data breach can happen that can exposed our information and worst be used on illegal activities.

Are you one of those who agree or refuse to fill out kyc on gambling sites? So far, the Kyc that you have filled in on the gambling site is safe? I've never had a problem with the Kyc that I filled out at the gambling site. Have you ever felt cheated from Kyc submitted?
As much as possible I don't want to gamble on casino that requiring their players to abide on kyc procedure. But if really necessary, let's say you have huge winnings and kyc is needed then I have no choice. However, it depends on the gambler itself if he will risk his/her personal information to withdraw the money. Nowadays kyc is common for casinos to ask their gamblers especially if the platform is regulated since they're just abiding the law to operate legally. If you're not comfortable with this, there's still option since there are casinos existing without kyc requirement.
931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: my small investment on: May 31, 2023, 02:26:06 AM
One more thing, the most important thing is to change the mindset because this is one of the most common mistakes that most people make when investing in bitcoin hoping to get rich quick and end up disappointed when the market goes down.

This is a rookie mistake, people who thinks bitcoin is some quick rich investment will fall for big loses and later they blame bitcoin for that. Bitcoin is a long term investment, it is not for people who wants to get rich quickly or even get rich by investing a small amount of money. If you want to get rich from bitcoin you have to be a consistent bitcoin investor.
Investors who are thinking Bitcoin can make them rich in a short period probably didn't exert an effort to understand how Bitcoin works. Because if you take time learning first before investing your money, you'll understand that it's a kind of investment that needs patience since it's good for long term, that is if you really want to gain huge.

Anyway as you've pointed out, you need to be a consistent Bitcoin investor in order to have a decent holdings. It doesn't matter even you're buying little by little, what matter is, it has consistency. It's a good strategy, you won't notice your Bitcoin is growing while not hurting your finances since you only allocate a small amount.
932  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: May 30, 2023, 11:16:17 AM
Changing of terms and conditions without notifying the users or gamblers is normal with online gambling websites? Then when you did something wrong or about to withdraw your money they will tell you that you don't read their terms and conditions, and you start arguing with them until you decide to read the ToS again and you find out that it's different.

Some gambling websites consist of wicked owners that willingly plan to defraud their users using the ToS against them, or is this normal? Have such happened to anyone on this forum before?
Before we play on a casino it's important to read their ToS to know their rules and to prevent violating any of it. Well, the casino has the right to change their rules if necessary. However if they changed any of their rules, they need to notify their players to become aware of these changes. So the gambler can decide if they want to continue playing or switch to other casino because he/she is not comfortable with the added rules.

If the casino use these changes to defraud their players without notifying them after the changes are made then clearly it's not fair. I would be discourage to play on the particular casino if such issue happened.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Allow To Undergo Hypnosis If A Professional Recommend To Cure Gambling on: May 30, 2023, 09:59:03 AM
You want to get cured of compulsive gambling because you are too deep into it and you are under professional supervision to cure your addiction, your physician asks you to undergo hypnosis to cure your deep-rooted addiction, will you allow it
If the physician already recommend to undergo this procedure then it might be necessary and can be a big help to cure the addiction. However, we know it's not going to be cheap, seeking for professional help to get rid your addiction is expensive already so this additional process is another pain if you're not prepared financially.

Anyway, to answer the question, I believe if you want to overcome your addiction, you really need to help yourself to change what you used to aside from the guidance of a professional people. That being said, if you're willing to change and determine to get rid your addiction then a support of your loved ones plus your willingness would be a great help to overcome the problem that you've been going through.
934  Local / Pilipinas / Re: Presyo ng bitcoin umangat on: May 30, 2023, 08:04:00 AM
Marahil isa ka sa umabot sa 60k+ usdt price ng bitcoin, or maari isa kadin sa mga naluge sa pagbagsak nito sa mga nakaraang buwan akyat baba ang presyo ng bitcoin madami din ang mga kumita subalit marami din ang mga naluge anu nga ba ang mga dahilan sa pagbagsak nito?
Usually naman na dahilan kung bakit bumaba ang price ay dahil sa mga nagbebenta kapag umangat ng konti ang Bitcoin, sila yung mga nag short term. Kaya hindi rin nagiging consistent ang pagtaas dahil dito. Tapos yung iba naman kapag bumaba eh nagpa panic at takot na malugi kaya binebenta na lang, common ito sa mga baguhan.

Anyway, yung good news tungkol sa balita na sinabi mo, malaking bagay pa rin sa crypto as a whole pero yung impact hindi ganun karamdam. Hindi pa talaga siguro tapos ang bear season. Kaya hold lang muna tayo, in time, darating din yung pinaka inaasam natin.
935  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT OR MEMES on: May 30, 2023, 05:03:58 AM
these two investment only suited for short term, with meme coin if you invested for long term, eventually the price will fall down, and with NFT it will lost liquidity instead, making it quite literally useless.
So better not to invest on these two because it is quite risky. However, if you're fine with the risk and still wanted to try investing then my choice is meme coins. I'm tempted as well to try investing on meme before, because of the potential profit, however this is only for short term. But one must be alert and know when to take profit and that is once the price already skyrocket. If you missed the time to sell, you'll lose your money, the next thing you'll know the price plunged already. The reason why it's risky to invest in meme coins.

Anyway, many coins are worth to invest in with real use case hence your options are not only limited to NFTs and meme coins. Just DYOR and you'll find a coins that are worthy to hold even for long term.
936  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is this considered a safe practice on: May 29, 2023, 08:22:58 AM
You are absolutely correct. It's crucial to exercise caution when providing your credit card details to any platform or service, particularly online. There are some very basic precautions that you need to take, such as checking the SSL and security information, make sure that you trust the payment platform and do not pass the data directly to the site. Even being very careful is easy to fall for scams.
same reason why we not need to let our credit cards involved in gambling , because this is for me is over acting to gamble .
we have money or cash that can be used then why need to extend the usage to our credit cards?
also what you mentioned is completely correct , there are easy way for them to scam us using our credit cards.
sometimes even if we are dealing with legit and trusted sites , yet the chance of being scammed are there .
It is likely that gambling companies are looking to create an opportunity to extract more money from a gambler. When a gambler starts gambling with a credit card he can plan to spend a lot of money on gambling. Because once addiction to gambling occurs, it is difficult to recover from it. But the main point is that a gambler can be exposed to various dangers. First, his personal affairs will be at risk. Second, scammers have a greater chance of falling into the trap. I agree with you that it is not worthy to use a credit card on any site that would be reputed or not.

Well, if you want to take advantage the perks of using your credit cards to be able to gamble, there's nothing wrong with that since it's your choice. However, I don't think it is wise to use credit cards regardless of the rewards/bonuses you can get associated with it. Because we can always opt to use our cash, more safety since you don't have to disclose any details.

Scammers and hacking are common nowadays even the platform is reputable (as you've pointed out). Thus much better to think in advance of the cons to prevent yourself experiencing an unfortunate situation.

Gambling is a problem but if you already got the money that you won why not take advantage of it. Especially if you need the money badly. I dont understand this kind of people,yes you need to make a point that gambling is bad and that you should avoid gambling but if you already won you should take advantage of it.
but his father had different thoughts because the religious principles his father adhered to made his thoughts different from the wishes of his son. even though news spread that his son wanted to use the money from gambling to help pay for the rent he had to pay for the house, the father remained adamant that the money from gambling was not good.
Money is everything for most of us and we know it's hard to earn it. So if there's an opportunity to have such huge amount, probably no one will refuse to accept the money (as long as it is not from any illegal activity).

But it's a different situation for the boy's father because he don't like the fact that his son got the money through gambling. It's a commendable attitude to reject the money (despite of what it can do for their lives) because of what he believe in. I wonder what the son did after his father made a decision.

Betting then experienced losing in a row is part of it, I mean, losing streak is not new to this industry, you need to do better with your research instead of randomly pick sports that you are not familiar, something that really needed to correct, how will you win if you don't know who's your betting with? with knowledge and with proper information or idea, the chance of winning is much better and adding to that if you have some luck the opportunity to win will be more possible, just take it when you already have some decent amount, I mean quit while you have something decent in your wallet.

Even with doing a proper research, you can still have 10 losses in a times, but it also depends what kind of bets it are (single bets, parlay bets, ...). I don't bet that often anymore on sports, but I try to look for value bets. Sometimes you have good streaks that everything is going your way and other times not. Just keep track of everything that you bet and only at the end of the year, you should look at your return on investment.

Yeah, and that's right even doing proper research can't guarantee that you will not suffer from a long losing streak, if luck is not on your side you might suffer more even you have a knowledge regarding to the game, what I'm just referring to is the game that you are betting with, if you pick it randomly and you don't understand the game the chance of losing is high compared with the game that you know and the player/s that are playing is familiar with you, you can sort the advantages and you can decide according to your knowledge.

If you want to maximize your chance to win the game (for skill-based games) then it's important that you have knowledge about it. This way, you'll not just place your bet blindly. But you're doing it because you have an idea about the team/players to somehow predict what likely is the outcome of the particular game, and this is based on your knowledge.

That's the edge of betting with an idea of the background of the team. So don't just guess if you can do something to become aware of the possible results based on the capabilities of the players/team.
939  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your favorite season to trade cryptocurrency? on: May 29, 2023, 01:14:01 AM
Bull season is the perfect time to trade our cryptos because during this time majority of coins are increasing so it's a good timing to take profit. On the other side, the bear season is the time for us to fill our bags since the prices of coins are cheaper. Traders who already used to seeing the market to go up and down are already aware how to take advantage every situation for their own benefit.

Hence, it's crucial for traders to study the market and take time filling their minds with knowledge to understand trading. This is necessary in order to spot a good coins that can likely give you a huge profit.
