While other fathers would crave for huge wins from gambling, this story is different. Probably, his father is a devoted Muslim and gambling is strictly prohibited in their culture. That’s why even if the winnings can change their lifestyle, his father still chose to reject it because whatever they get from gambling is always unacceptable. It could have been a lot of money for gamblers, but for anti-gambling culture, it’s always nothing and will never be essential.

Fear of the unknown was my challenge. Back then when Bitcoin became rampant in 2010 ponzi and many scam projects were also hovering the internet so the fear of going for the wrong investment became my biggest challenge, I still ended up falling for many scam projects and ponzi but that also opened my eye to understand that research is the key base for making any investment and not until i read Bitcoin white paper to understand what the coin is all about i was still in doubt of Bitcoin. But the paper made my doubt vanish.
You’re not alone mate. I was also same like that when I started investing in bitcoin. There’s always this fear of losing my capital once bitcoin investment turns into a big scam knowing most of the online investments that time end up as ponzi schemes. However, I managed to take the risk and overcome my fears. Yes, I always believed DYOR is the key, without it bitcoin investment will still fall into gambling. |

6: What advice do you have for new traders who are just starting out
(....)
There is a lot of advice or must TODO when you are just starting out. I can give you some importants; Start small - try a small amount of capital to try your first few trades. Practice on demo exchanges - there are some exchanges that got demo trading, which means you don't need real money. Risk management - know the risk, know how much are you willing to lose, and know how much you will win on every trades, always set stop loss and price target. In addition to this, new traders should know and understand what they are about getting into that it is something that has the power to make them richer or poorer, with emphasis on poorer. The idea some new traders have is that as soon as they begin trading, they will immediately start making profit, we all know it does not work that way. New traders eed to know that if they are skillful enough they can make more losses than profit in trading. That is the reality in trading. Even professional and skilled traders are not an exception from losses. It’s either they have to deal and manage it, or leave trading for good. Also, trading will never be successful if you are battling with your emotions. At least, you should know how to control your emotions, otherwise all your efforts and capital will go into waste. |

I read a past research and they conclude that only few percentage of investor are consistently making money and majority of the investors keep losing their money because of lack of knowledge. It is the number 1 reason why investing doesn't guarantee you to be rich.
In addition to knowledge consistency is needed in investing, while success or failure depends on how a person plans the investment he is making. Investment requires money as the main requirement to run it, if you have a little capital to start then the profit will follow the adjustment of the capital, whether you become rich or not depends on how much money you use to invest. Talking about investment reality will bring you to the stage of wealth if you have large capital and you know the right moment to buy. Profits will be proportional to the capital you have and the greater the capital you place, the greater the profit you will get, that is the actual investment formula logically and in reality. That is if you are investing with skills and high knowledge. Otherwise, large capital does not guarantee big profits at all since investing without preparation will only waste your money and efforts. However, know that all investors should experience inevitable losses before they succeed and achieve bigger profits. So never be discouraged if you are exposed to losses especially if you are still a beginner, that will motivate you to deepen your desire to succeed as you grow and improve your investing experience. |

This actually happens if there is a similar thread I'll lock this thread. My friend invited me for a round of drinks just last night to confess something, and that is his wife threatened to leave their house and file for legal separation because the wife just discovered that he's spending a lot of time gambling, she thought that he's just playing games but she discovered his logged because the idiot has his password in the browser, so the wife check his withdrawal and voila his losing a lot of money and she also discovered that he won big money in the past but didn't tell her. I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big.  How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story. Too bad he was never honest to his wife in the first place. If only he’s transparent about his gambling activities, I guess threatening will never happen. That’s the reason why I want to avoid being secretive from my wife because no matter how we hide from them, there will really come a time that we will still be caught and might even ruin the relationship. Luckily, my wife was also considerate with how I often spend money on gambling. At least, he knows that I am a gambler in the first place. |

Cryptocurrency is risky, and while we are aware of the basic requirements that must be in place in order to profit significantly, not all of us are aware of an appropriate season to trade. Most professional traders prefer the bear season, which, in my opinion, is the best period to conduct critical study on crypto projects, uncover ethical road maps, and invest in them for a possible solid future. The bull season is most likely harvest time; we reap what we sow in the market. Which season is better for trading, the bull or the bear?
Trading is risky but with experience, you can always trade and make your trades valuable and successful. Regardless of the condition of the market, if you know when is the best entry and best exit when trading, you will never go wrong with your trades. Just learn to read the charts and analyze the market well. That way, even if the market is bearish, you will still find ways on how to make your trades profitable. |

Just keep your job while you are still in the process of learning and accumulating knowledge and skills in trading. And for you to do that, explore the forum first and find topics that are related to trading and understanding them well. You can always do your due diligence to do the research as much as possible so you can add more knowledge aside from the posted topics here in the forum. Also, there are free youtube videos in the internet on how to trade, you start viewing on it. And when you’re ready to trade, put a small amount of money first since newbies are more susceptible to losses at first, and when you’ve gained a lot of experiences in trading, that’s the time you can start adjusting your trading size so you can also expect bigger returns too.

People often say that after marriage, husband and wife should trust each other and be transparent about their assets, but I think there will be a lot of couples who will not follow that. We all have our own secrets that we do not want to reveal, even when husband and wife are together. Some people will say that you are not respectful, but maybe everyone's situation is different and you don't understand anything. So it's best not to comment at all. As for this incident, I see that the decision on whether or not the property is divided depends on whether the husband has it before or after. And it is not wrong for the wife to want to divide the property in half because this is a citizen's right after marriage.
If the husband has gained it before the marriage, the wife has nothing to do with it but if those assets were acquired when already they’re married, then the wife has all the right to take part half of it. However, I can sense in this story that the wife here is really smart. Imagine, he has known it already even if his husband has not declared it. But I pity on the part of the husband because he cannot enjoy all what he’s been working for in the past. Though he can also take half of it, but I can sense that he’s been taken advantage by his wife in this case. |

If you are new into crypto and you don't have huge funds for investing 20 USD can be a stepping stone to your journey I started before with the same amount and consistently depositing deposited with that and I saw the price of the bitcoin dump to 3k USD only and I grab this opportunity to accumulate as possible those 20 USD barely from minimum got a good profit after ATH reason I bought my new PC and laptop. Always manage the risk don't get discouraged because of the small amount at the end profit counts.
It’s better that you’ll start with small funds, know that you are still new in trading so you have to invest or trade at your own risk. At least, if you lose that small amount, that will never be an issue then. However, I believe that even if you are starting at an amount that you can easily afford to lose, you should still invest at the best of your ability and skills. You will never grow your money if you don’t have working strategies to profit, so invest with knowledge and stick to your working strategies, and always invest for long term as there is bigger potentials to make significant profits if you do it that way. |

Let's say Fulton spoils the chance and we have Inoue that just got defeated in his first fight at 122, (although I'm not hoping for that to happen) that is a much better way because Casimero's chances to face Inoue is likely to happen much sooner especially if Casimero will make another bout before this year ends so that his ranking will increase further until he will be inside the Top 3 to 5.
Other than that, Fulton have also said that he will leave the division regardless of the result and if it turns out that Inoue has been defeated. We might see Casimero and Inoue chasing for the belts that was vacated by Fulton as I know both of them is targeting those said belts in the first place.
That's what I see too if ever Naoya Inoue is defeated by Fulton. It increases the chances of Casimero finally having that bout against the boxer who he really wants to fight for a long time. Because if Inoue wins, he will pursue the other two belts which means it will be Marlon Tapales who will be next instead of Casimero and I doubt the camp of Tapales could easily avoid that especially if they also have a chance to unite all 4 titles in the process. If Inoue wins again, he might go up another weight class so he should be defeated.  That would be an early present for the people if it will be rumored that John Riel Casimero and Naoya Inoue is up next, considering that Inoue have lost his first title chase at 122. But if Inoue will succeed, Tapales will surely accept the challenge of unifying the belts as aside from it is what they wanted in the first place, it's already a win-win for Tapales regardless of the result as he could be looking at the biggest paycheck in his whole career. Regarding ranks, I think Casimero is also in the high spot in WBO now after defeating Fillipus Nghitumbwa for the Global Super Bantam Title. The chances they will meet are getting thicker after winning 9 consecutive bouts. Maybe one more win for Casimero and they can start making a trend about their fight.
As per Boxing Scene, Casimero holds the 5th position in the rankings of WBO while 8th position in WBC. I don't know if this is already updated or what but Casimero is already moving towards the top. As per The Ring, Casimero and Inoue is not yet in the Top 10 spot at 122.

Do you guys think that Denver might be the strongest now knowing that they swept the Lakers?
I don't think so. Maybe they'll win the NBA Finals, but I believe they won't be able to dominate. If we compare the journey of the Heat, assuming they'll advance, they have had tougher battles compared to the Denver Nuggets. So, although the betting lines guarantee that the Nuggets are the heavy favorites, I think Miami will be underrated, so I like to take their underdog odds. This will likely reach a minimum of 6 games. I will for sure ride you in the same train for that one as I have thought of the very same scenario. Sure, the Denver Nuggets were heavily favored because of the swept they did against the Lakers but that is not yet enough for me to consider them as the strongest because there's still the Miami Heat that is a live underdog and a kind of team who does not think of any homecourt advantage, so the Nuggets should better watch out for that one as they don't have that much experience to face the Heat in such intense scenarios. |

Thurman might go back to his regular job now as a boxing analyst and who knows when will be his next fight as it looks like he doesn't have the fire inside of him as we have seen in his last fight against Barrios.
Yes, there's no choice for him as the Spence vs Crawford fight is activated again. Hopefully, this time it will become a reality because fans have been waiting for it for a long time. While a Thurman vs Spence fight would also be interesting, if we truly want to witness the best fight, it should be an undisputed bout between two undefeated champions. Eroll Spence and keith thurman is one of the awaited fight in boxing because a undefeated try to defend his record from his opponent which is only have 1 loss. And this is what a good fight when it is happen both fighter are strong enough to compete each other. Hopefully this fight will happen or else boxing committee will give us some extra ordinary fight which is both fighter have the same undefeated will fight inside the ring. Partially right because there are others indeed that has been waiting for the fight because Keith is back to make his name again in the industry after experiencing his first loss a couple of years ago but compared to the match-up of Spence vs Crawford, Keith Thurman seems to be out of place again. He may be the mandatory challenger but it seems to me that Spence is not really interested in that fight at all and it will be okay if that mandatory fight will be forfeited by him as there will be no repercussions to face. |

What's there to expect? I mean, it was already expected that this fight will have a much lower PPV buys compared to the mega fight that Garcia vs Davis did recently or any fight that Canelo did. Although it's a much awaited fight for most of the fans especially because Lomachenko will be seen again and many have been asking if he was already at the sunset of his career and then there's Haney that has been known to be boring because of his style. I bet at least 300k was their target.
300k-500k might be their target as seldom we will see a fight that exceeds 1M PPV buys after Manny Pacquaio and Floyd Mayweather's era. I think that is one golden era of boxing, as both are really PPV stars specially Floyd. But now it's hard to do it, unless you are like Canelo who did good numbers during his first fight with GGG and recently, Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis. It's because modern technology paved a way for some people, mainly the ones who are fond to watch the fight and games live because in this modern era, YouTubers and some Facebook users are already offering live streaming in-exchange for some little donations (voluntary) to their accounts which mean that PPV's is not really needed anymore by many people as why would they need to subscribe and pay for a higher price if they can always watch the fight with a discounted price or even for free if they are that lucky. Unlike in the Golden Era as we call it, most people don't have the means to watch the fight and games live to see their idols if they do not subscribe to Pay-Per-View. So, it's quite a must do back at that day just to see the fight going on live. |

I don't see any sense about the said options because there will be some people that will pick the latter where they will pick the $1 Million and use it to educate themselves so that the money they have picked will not be put into waste by buying some rubbish wants. Some will also pick the first one so that in time, after having the financial education needed, they will use it to make themselves richer.
You see, we all have our own choices to make, and the opportunities that will be presented to us will not really matter at all if we don't have the mindset to make ourselves grow.

What delays this fight is due to the promotional issues of Donaire. Probellum already ceased to exist due to its involvement with the Kinahans. So Bob Arum is once again correct and some of us thought he was just making excuses to avoid his ward Moloney facing Donaire. Moloney is already fighting next week for the vacant WBO belt while old Donaire's next fight still has no venue and a specific date.
Richard Schaefer should work this out fast because neither Donaire nor Santiago wanted to overtrain. There is no such thing as having a serious training camp that will last for 4 months or more. That is not beneficial and will have bad effects on the fighters. Maybe Schaefer should ask to return the favor of his friend Al Haymon to temporarily handle some of his fighters and stage this fight.
What I sincerely see is a lot of work, I don't know if it's for the publicists themselves,or for the fighters themselves,if what they're really looking for is more vision on the part of the fans,as far as I'm concerned I think that this type of Things must be Resolved quickly in order to establish a more viable fight and finally let Donaire take action, many of us want to see him and show how much he talks because for me he is in Excellent shape, no matter how old he is,I see that it is Fine for a good Fight and that is what Matters. Exactly, whatever it is, they needed to act now and work on pushing this fight. I can follow you with your opinion regarding with Donaire, even he's not on his prime anymore, the winning chance is still possible as he's still fit and his form is still good to compete. A matter of how good the promoters and the negotiators are to bring the fight to the fans and market to potential sponsors to make good money from this possible fight. More on how they will bring update and interest with readers and fans who are waiting for the finalization if the fight will happen. Doanire can still prove to us that he can be a champion one again and by winning his upcoming fights then without a doubt he can be a champion. Also the promoters want to make sure that this fight will be one of the greatest fight in boxing to gain more money. And if this happen for sure the tickets will be easily to sold out because this is the fight of an veteran that proves that Age doesn't yet matter as long us donaire can fight. There's no doubt about Donaire despite his age now and that he can be a champion once again, but the problem is, when will they announce this fight as for sure many people are already curious about why this bout is taking so long to materialize or at least have some updates about the upcoming fight so that people can follow through instead of having some unanswered questions. |

There is only one way to defeat them again, Miami Heat must be back to being focused on their goal to reach the Finals, or else the Celtics might turn this around and make history by coming back from a 3-0 deficit.
Good game from the Celtics.
They will certainly make adjustments after being dominated in Game 4. It cannot happen again, especially on their home court. However, knowing the Heat, they are a good team on the road, as they won the first 2 games. So, the Celtics still need to continue playing with high intensity. At least the Celtics weren't swept, as it would be embarrassing for a team at the top to be swept. They might have a similar fate as the Bucks. Celtics finally got a win, but there is no way they can win 4 in a row. All they did was delay the inevitable IMO. I was hoping we seen history though and both series finals ended with sweeps. Maybe they want the fans to witness them losing the game at home, LOL. But it was a great effort by the Celtics. That was the team that had been dominating in the regular season. The ball movement was very well organized, and they showed trust in each other. Additionally, their defense was notable as the Heat struggled with their 3-point shooting, indicating that the Celtics were quick enough to prevent open shots for the shooters. |

Just got off the road after working out of town and unfortunately seeing that my strategy of "man both of these teams can't possible get swept out of the conference championships" doesn't seem like it's going to work this time, as it didn't for last nights game with the Lakers lol. I gotta stop betting on why I think things will happen or perhaps what tends to happen...and base it off the hear and now. Heat and Denver are just superior teams, and it's been evident since game 1 for both teams.
Boston was fortunate to have a dominant win in game 4. They should continue to play in that manner, emphasizing ball movement and teamwork instead of relying on isolation plays. Now, they are back on their home court for game 5. Hopefully, they can secure a victory, allowing us to witness a game 6 at the Heat's home arena. However, it's important to note that history tells us that no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit, so I won't set high expectations for the Celtics at this moment. |

To ensure that you fully understand the risks associated with investing, the best training is gambling. Speaking from my own experience, I began as a gambler before transitioning into investing. This background has made it easier for me to comprehend the risks involved, which is why I maintain a realistic approach.
Additionally, I can quickly discern whether an investment is a scam or legitimate, unlike other investors who often succumb to offers that seem too good to be true. In the end, they tend to blame bitcoin or another legitimate cryptocurrency for their losses simply because they failed to comprehend what they were actually doing.

The Lakers usually keep it close for the first three quarters, so I understand why the bookies have them as the favorites, but they continue to slip up in the fourth quarter. I'm ready for Denver to close this series, and my timing is so bad the odds on the Nuggets moved even further (from 2.30 to 2.38) after I placed my bet.  Good luck, bro. The Lakers don't want to be embarrassed in front of the crowd, but you know the Nuggets are very consistent. Even if the refs are not always in their favor, they keep working hard and sticking to their system. You're right, the Lakers are usually strong in the 1st to 3rd quarters but struggle when it comes to closing the game. So, if the game remains close, we will likely see the Lakers ending their series today. |
