It saves them time.

They just do what they want to do and look at the result for them who don't have a lot of time to wait. This is what makes someone is unique being a gambler.

We find ways to look for what we think will be fun to us and even if it's so fun to us, for the others there will be comments that you should always be ready whether they will be good or bad.
Not sure if this is the best way if someone wants to save time then instead of doing the OP trick then why not just do "skip animations" instead of opening 2 tabs just to see the outcome on one tab and the animation on the other.
That could be the other trick to skip animations, so basically it will depend to the ones who's playing plinko. But either of the two can save time.

But yeah, spoiling ourself with the outcome while seeing how things went are really fun but sometimes are a torture as well since we already know we lost and we can see how we lost our bets.
Yeah, that's the harder part. It is no problem when we do this and we see that we've won. But it's hard when we do this and then the outcome is our loss.

It's like you do really tortured yourself just to see your losses.

We're telling everybody about this for the nth time.

Sports bettor should only bet with the amount that they're able to lose it anytime time. Because just as how the gamblers are betting with the money that they normally afford to lose.
This is for every gambler in general and I agree on this one since many are still playing using the money they have borrowed from someone. Gambling can be very risky even if its a sports betting since you can still be emotional and you be more greedy, stay within your limit and don’t ever force yourself if you can’t afford it because there’s a perfect time to gamble so don’t be in a hurry.
That's a mistake that they don't want them to get corrected and that's to gamble with the money of others, they don't own it and much harder if it's a loan. They need to be responsible to themselves first and be a keeper so that they won't have any problem if they lose.

We're telling everybody about this for the nth time.

Sports bettor should only bet with the amount that they're able to lose it anytime time. Because just as how the gamblers are betting with the money that they normally afford to lose.

There are some of them that are needed to be reminded. And yes, about all of those times that you're putting a bet, do not forget to enjoy each penny of it.
Whether it’s gambling or trading, always put an amount you can afford to lose. If you see the other way around, then stop trading or gambling. That’s the only way not to end up regretting. And let’s be realistic, gambling cannot bring us joy and fun without earning a good amount, but never reach to the point that you will risk all your hard-earned money just to gain huge profits. When you think it’s happening to you, take a break from gambling.
Yup.

If it's pure fun, there's no fun in losing and that's why you're gambling because you want to win and that fun or joy you'll feel there is different on its level when you're actually winning.

There's no need to hide that feeling or reasoning that you're just there to have fun when you're losing.

7. Only gamble if you can afford to gamble! Gambling is not a solution to solve any economic problems, its something that should give you enjoy and be fun.

I think next time I play this game or any of the other I might just try out this trick but it’s definitely gonna take the fun out.
That's what it is if you like to spoil yourself with the result, that's really gonna take out the fun.

But we all have our own definition of what's fun. Maybe that spoiling is kind of fun to you when you just want to see the results quickly. Well, likely that some would have fun with that just as how OP discovered it.

it depends on the mood of the player here. some just really want to see their game unfolds, whereas, some wanted to see the final result of their game as soon as possible. but that's a good trick though for those who are multi-tasking with their games. or for those who don't want to wait to finish up their game but are interested with the final result of their game.
It saves them time.

They just do what they want to do and look at the result for them who don't have a lot of time to wait. This is what makes someone is unique being a gambler.

I have seem some gamblers who are specially dedicated to gambling experiments and try to pursue high multipliers for fun (using micro wagers and some scripts)   Wink
And now this is what's fun in some other gamblers, so we do have our ways of depicting what's fun when we gamble.
926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which games offer the best chance of a big win? on: October 07, 2023, 12:52:12 PM
Table games like poker?

Maybe from there if you're good in doing those card games like poker then you have the best chance to win big there, why? Because you're not going to do it randomly and you can decide whether to get up and be against the last remaining hands on the table.

Or, if you think that you've got a weak hand then you can easily fold and avoid losing more with uncertainty. That's the good thing with poker but doing it online is quite hard but still doable.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They know the truth but they don't want to accept it, publicly on: October 07, 2023, 10:08:28 AM
If money isn't involved in gambling then it is no longer gambling but it's still fun if you enjoy those games.

While it's true that many don't seem to admit it that they're gambling for money and will just tell that they do it for fun, that doesn't matter to me as we have our own ways of making ourselves busy and doing our own stuff.

So either you gamble for fun or for money, what's the sense? We all have our own reasons in doing things and it is our money that we're spending not from anyone.
928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will institutional investors impact Bitcoin? on: October 07, 2023, 08:48:32 AM
Institutional investors can bring stability and liquidity to the Bitcoin ecosystem. They can also help to legitimize Bitcoin and make it more mainstream.what you think about this as a crypto guy ?  Wink
You are likely late in the party about that news that they've been here since the 2021 bull run or even earlier. These institutions are the reasons when there's a bad news, they're the ones to quickly spread it through FUD that they say.

Although they can really help to legalize Bitcoin into a country but there's no need for that. I know that there's a big impact for the adoption and price of it but it's just going to break what the purpose that it's been serving for the long time and that's about decentralization.

The very impact that they can give to people is about introducing it. Most people don't want to believe anymore with such magic internet money as they say because of the proliferation of internet scams, so that's how they'll get in.
929  Economy / Speculation / Re: BitMEX founder projects $750,000 to $1 million #Bitcoin price by 2026 on: October 06, 2023, 11:30:43 PM
With parabolic movement of Bitcoin, everything is possible.

Yes, but we all know that bitcoin price movement is not going to be parabolic, it can only happen during bull run. Just like in the beginning when no one thought that we can buy a lot of bitcoin for $1.00 in 2009.
And that's what everyone is waiting on, for the parabolic movement during the bull run.

I am not against to the positive and high predictions and everyone is entitled for that. But when these times are coming, what I have noticed are these all bullish predictions.

It's like that whenever these come, isn't it scary when everyone is happy and taking these predictions that much? I am for it and has always been bullish but you know when there are bloods in the streets and about everyone being happy and greedy, right?

I've got my own prediction as well but not that too early but more likely after the 2nd halving on 2028 and up.

Sometimes we need this kind of predictions though, I mean we should stay and be positive and let it attract some positive vibes. However, we should still be realistic that it might take some years to see this kind of big price for us.

I mean we even haven't hit our first target of $100k in the supposedly bull run that is coming our way for the next two years. So it's really hard to digest this kind of price prediction as early as 2023, just saying.
That's okay, it's up to you if you're going to digest all of these high predictions because you'll never know if it's the one that you're waiting for or optimistic with.

But I agree about being realistic but who knows if this second thought that everyone is having about that price for a short period of time will come into reality.

No one really knows what will happen in the future and this is why we're rounded with speculations and predictions.
930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage greed to place your bet on: October 06, 2023, 10:25:47 PM
For much long now I have never place bet with a higher amount but there was a bet i placed few days ago and i was tempted to increase my wager from what it should be before, Let say i often gamble with at least 200 Naira and maximum is 2,000 for a multiple bets But recently something came into me to start increasing my wager above my limits due to a game that was predicts to me it gives me all possibilities that I could cash out big time. This now made me to come here to asked how do you control your greed with your bet amount, do you go ahead placing the bet as your minds speaks or do only maintain to your limits whether it plays or not doesn't matter.
That's actually martingale and you'll not like the result of it because you're going to chase your losses until you win. But as you're seeing yourself going continually with that strategy, it's better to stay with your limits.

If you have a lot of money then means it doesn't matter.

Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time. How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?
With all of those regrets, that's normal but that's only for a few seconds or minutes then you move ahead again to your next bet. Change your mindset about you should have bet bigger every time you win with small amounts.

Change it to like when you lose and then you bet with small amount and start thinking of what if you have lost with huge amount from that bet?
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 06, 2023, 01:08:42 PM
So maybe just the rest of the NBA, after their dismal performance in FIBA's competition recently in Manila, high caliber athletes are eager to don the US Jersey this coming Olympics and represent Team USA and extract their revenge and win the Gold medal to show US supremacy again in basketball. But I guess the game really evolved as there are a lot of non-American in the NBA right now. So they need to bring in their best player and it might include Joel.
AFAIK, Lebron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry have already expressed that they are committed in playing for the US' national team on Olympics. Now this gets more serious. While Joel Embiid is being asked by three national teams.

But if I am him, this is a tough thing. He'll be the hero on Cameroon even if they're not going to get into Olympics and fall with the qualifiers.

And if he wants likely high chance of winning the Olympics, he'll choose to go along with the team USA. He's got a few days left for the deadline of his decision.
The only question is that, are they healthy at that time?
I'm not pessimistic per se, but we know that these NBA players can sustain injuries that might be the reason they can't play at certain tournaments like the Olympics.

Seeing them committing is good because they are seeing other countries coping up, and can match with them already, but the question is, are they releasing statements like this because they want to scare other countries? Well, I guess they want to get back on top again thus they are doing this. It's a shame on their part if they can't win a gold medal knowing that they've been the powerhouse country globally in basketball.

It seems like this consecutive times where they aren't winning a gold medal is a wake-up call for them. I guess I just hope that they can build a team that can be called "Dream Team V2.0". Cheesy
I don't think that they're just telling it to scare other teams. That won't work to other strong teams that are qualified in the Olympics.

Scare doesn't have a place there honestly. And if they won't win a gold, it's not a shame to them although they've been always the favorite to take the gold medal.

But in the past, there have been teams that defeated them and stolen the gold medal from them.
932  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Polygon welcomes Google Cloud as a validator on: October 06, 2023, 10:21:49 AM
Good move actually by Google/Cloud. I've seen them having some programs for start ups that are in AI and web3 too.

So I think it all interconnects and Google Cloud wants to be in every space that can be related to cryptocurrencies. It's also a win for Polygon to have Google Cloud as their validator.

Maybe soon we'll see AWS having its own brand partner and crypto project that they'll support.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: October 05, 2023, 10:00:10 PM
If Embiid really chooses to play for the US team this shows his character, yet again.
He is from Cameroon, he should also play for that team. Of course they have no chance the the Olympic games, but that's not what matter here.
It's about pride and representing your country and heritage.

If it wasn't for his home country and for example Luc Mbah a Moute's basketball camp there he would never have found his way to basketball. Now it's time to give back I think.

But for some reason I am sure he doesn't do "the right thing".

It is what the community and fans want him to play for, for Cameroon. But the decision is on him and we can't do anything about it. If it's about his life achievement, he certainly going to go for the Team USA.

After that humiliating lost? Yes, James and company expressed their willingness to the next Olympics to carry Team USA. Not sure if he is being asked by Cameroon or France, but he shows his interest on playing with the US. So it was Joel who approach first just to be fair with USA.
They're going to go all in on this one as it's like Fiba world cup is just like another name these days for Olympics and we get Olympics as the official one.

Just go with Cameroon, that's his birth country, there's nothing great as a player representing your own team in the Olympics. And there are even those who are born somewhere else and yet they wanted to represent their true nationality.
We're all agreeing on that one.

But guys, I guess that he's got already an answer on this one and I was just late to realize and search about it as it was out a few hours ago.

Joel Embiid commits to play for Team USA, not France, at 2024 Olympics in Paris

936  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How has a crypto payment gateway impacted your business growth? on: October 05, 2023, 06:34:45 PM
Accepting crypto payment gateways are still like at its infancy. Many companies or stores or merchants still don't like to use it because it's not yet in demand.

There's just need for physical adoption on it so that it can be seen as a success. But right now, maybe a few merchants have added it to their payment gateway and doesn't that much because crypto isn't a big thing on their country.

While it's good to have it as a payment gateway and say that there's adoption for that shop. Though we can see the reality of it that the demand isn't that much yet.
937  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 04, 2023, 11:06:54 PM
I know it's tough when you don't get that much income for your family. But starting to breakdown your expenses and list them will make you see the picture out of it.

You'll be able to find what are the unnecessary things that you need to cut down because it's just a waste of money when you spend and include it to your tight budgeting.

Also, if budgeting is still not enough, you need to find more source of income or if anyone in your family is already allowed to work too. Tell the situation so that you get to have a team work for your ease.
Really tough i should say, recommendations and suggestions been given here on this thread by most members might really that sounds easy but on the time that you are on such condition and living
on a country or place on which opportunities and benefits arent something that easily be attained then for sure it would really be so tough on getting out on such situation or condition.If you are really just that someone whose really that have that limited skillset and having that only one kind of expertise in regarding towards your job then going into other extent would really be something a risks.
You cant really just make out some actions or decisions that would really be costing up you money or putting up yourself on such risks on losing  your job because you had focused into other venture
on which focus and time might really be that greatly affected. Lets say that you have decided to take up some business which causes on compromising your priorities specially with your job
then you are really that putting yourself on danger on which you dont really have no choice but to ignore that kind of idea and would be sticking on something that gives you
that sure money or salary. You cant really just simply make out such decision.
It is a mistake when someone who's still employed and started his/her own business and then you're not performing well on your job. That's not what the company signed you for and you don't have to compromise your job just because you are having your own business.

From there, your professionalism is also at stake because you're showing to the company that you're not capable with that. It's hard as we've said but you need to show that you're eager in doing things on your own without compromising and sacrificing what you're up because you're paid there for your salary.

We've got ways of dealing this problem but make sure that you don't have to compromise what you're committed to.

I remember the FUN token when they've just released it but it's true that RLB is the one that's getting the spotlight now. I've seen people that have been holding this from other forums that I've just seen few weeks ago as a guest.

There's also this one that I remember which was named wink and they've got a casino but then rebranded and renamed into winklink. Upon checking it just now, it seems that they've changed their course into development and providing service. Although there's a casino/slot based in UK that seems to be the same name as them but I don't see the connection and their relation of them.
939  Economy / Economics / Re: Free Investment tips on: October 04, 2023, 03:56:36 PM
Many people try to become successful investors, of course it takes a lot of things as stated above, and for those who don't have big finances for investment, they can start small by investing in cryptocurrencies. And as investors, of course we must understand the risks of investing.
But don't limit yourselves into investing only in the crypto market and with Bitcoin. There are a bunch of choices that we can dive in but it's okay to start with Bitcoin and master it first.

And that is because once you profit from holding Bitcoin and you want to have some other assets as well, that's how you're going to make more investments.

The experience that you'll learn from Bitcoin's volatility or with other cryptos that you like to invest will be applied to the other assets that you may invest in as well so, it's like 2 hits from one throw.
940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 04, 2023, 01:31:14 PM
When the victim tends to say that they've been abused and they've been done wrong by the casino, the belief of everyone is on them because they're only telling one side of their stories. They won't admit what they did wrong to make it look like the problem is from the casino.

On the other side, the casinos will just tell what's the cause of the actions and decisions they've placed to that complaining user.

It's always good to ask the both side of the stories and just keep yourself neutral until your assessment is clear on which side you want to make. Just keep yourself open to any thoughts and possibilities before taking someone's side.
