As it should be on which it is really just that right that they should really be knowing about the risks on the time that they would really be stepping themselves on the time that they do gamble so that they would really be
that aware that this kind of activity would really be pertaining about losing money in most cases. They shouldnt really be having that kind of confidence that they could make money out of it because this isnt how this
field works because if you do have that kind of perception and assuming that you cant really lose money and instead winning then on the time that reality would slap into your face then you would really be most likely
be blaming out someone on what you have done or on the time that you do lose money which is something that you shouldnt really do in the first place. We know that gambling is for fun and winning is really just
that a bonus on the entertainment that you had get which supposedly your main thing that you should mind on rather than on having an income.
blaming other people for your bad losses at gambling is clear evidence that have low emotional intelligence, if i meet people like this then i will continue to mock them by calling them "stupid people"

the first rule that must be considered the first time when going to gamble is that gambling is a game full of risks and whatever it is, make gambling only as a medium for your entertainment, so you can accept defeat when it happens, don't ever feel like you are being cheated when you lose gambling because everything happens for the decision you made at the beginning.

I attended a business seminar where a facilitator a renowned professor, and Entrepreneur shared a story on how he missed out on investing in a small fintech start two years ago which as at today is worth $500 million. He said the team had approached him to make an a investment in the start but because he did not understand how the were going to make money since he didn't invest the $100k he wanted to write them. Today, he would have been $7.5million richer had he invested.
 
They say do not invest in what you do not understand which was largely the principle the speaker adhered to but what if despite not immediately understanding the business model and its profit making model yet your business instinct pushing you to invest. What should you do? Listen to the former or follow your instincts?
life is a mystery, no one can know for sure what we will become in the future.

To be honest, logically, it's not easy to make a blind decision to start investing with $ 100k in what we don't know at all, in fact, there are many people who regret not buying bitcoin when they know the price of bitcoin is still $1.

There are many success stories that we can read out there (like the first investors Google or Facebook) and most of them are accidentally making the best decision of their life.

Everybody has a choice about how they want to spend their leisure time and what they want to spend their money on. All that matters is the fun that is archived. Gambling is not bad; people make it look bad through their own bad habits towards gambling. For me, gambling and games are the most fun 😊 things anyone can engage in; after all, we decide whether to give ourselves a chance or lose self-control towards what we do.
Many people still can't find the best way to spend their time on gambling, they don't think it's fun, but a way to double their money but in fact it's not, they're actually losing money.  gambling is always better if it is only made for entertainment, even if you win a large amount of money while gambling, don't continue to feel addicted to it.


Those who gamble and don't know when to stop are usually influenced by either the fun or the wins, although that's just my opinion. But, like you said, anyone who enjoys the fun of gambling must have self-control over it.
in some cases, things like this happen quite often, some people become addicted to gambling because they are lonely (the same when you are addicted to online games) and have no place to vent their loneliness apart from gambling, self-control is important, don't ruin yourself because of a lack of self-control.
984  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin on The Island of Bali, Indonesia on: June 29, 2023, 07:58:27 PM
For me it would not be an impediment to travel to a country simply because it does not use or rejects the idea of bitcoin as a method of payment, of course I admit that it would be interesting to travel to one that I frequent a lot, as is the case of the Salvador, I have never been but I have had the desire to visit that site

However, I reiterate that I could go to Bali without any problem.
every country has favorite tourist destinations that tourists want to visit, the majority of tourists who travel to Bali are looking for beautiful beaches while in El Salvador they have more places of worship such as cathedrals as tourist destinations for tourists (there are some beaches too but not so famous)

i don't feel that the desire to travel should be disturbed by the legality of Bitcoin which is regulated by the government in an area (even if it's a country on the African continent or a city in China), just visit your dream place, without being disturbed whether the place accepts bitcoin or not (as payment)

I don't know about solving the problems in Manchester united so soon because this team or club will definitely need time to restore it former glory days with sir Alex ferguson. I mean since he left the club Manchester united have seriously struggle to each in shape.

Eric ten Haag indeed has done brilliantly with the club in securing a place in the final three in table of the premier
League, but he still need more  time to developed the club
the period in which man utd was coached by alex ferguson, that was the golden age of man utd, he was a legendary coach and even though ten hag was quite capable, i am pessimistic ten hag was able to emulate alex ferguson's achievements when handling man utd.  
but everything requires a process and when you look at the statistics of man utd which are slowly improving, there is a big possibility that man utd will repeat their success at the hands of ten hag, the new season has arrived, the competition in the top 3 of the EPL will definitely be very tight especially since man city continues to dominate.
986  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino on a cruise ship? on: June 28, 2023, 10:26:34 PM
Has anyone here had the opportunity to try out the casino on a cruise ship? I've heard many stories about them, and I'm curious to learn about the similarities and differences compared to land-based casinos. I'm particularly interested in hearing from someone who has firsthand experience playing in a cruise ship casino.

Specifically, I would like to know:

Operating Hours: Do cruise ship casinos operate 24/7 like their land-based counterparts?
Payouts: Are the payout rates comparable to land-based casinos?
Betting Limits: What are the minimum betting limits? I know that some land-based casinos start at $20.
Game Variety: Can I find the same range of games offered in land-based casinos on cruise ships?
i never got the chance to play casino on a cruise ship but my uncle once said the atmosphere on a cruise ship casino was amazing.  My uncle is a worker on the MSC Cruises cruise ship (if you have heard of it) he said that the casino there is very busy but the operating hours are of course not 24 hours, even only on certain days the casino is open because the cruise ship does not always have passengers and usually the passengers are rich people who deliberately want to spend their money there (even my uncle once said there are some rich footballers who play on that cruise ship casino)
987  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: June 28, 2023, 10:02:50 PM

You may call it a contest where those who predict correctly wins the prizes. The difference between this and gambling is that here you are just participating in prediction without investing your own money while in gambling you would invest your own money in order to participate in prediction.
Anyways I do agree that most people will consider these two scenarios as same and will treat both of them as gambling.
The truth for this is that we can refered to them all as gambling  since what most of us understand as gambling is the involvement of a staked amount and since e in both playing inhouse games or making a prediction involve financial  involvmennt with the expectations to win make them all gambling.
So at this point, we cant separate the two from each other and we must align ourselves with that u understanding.
all activities that involve a certain amount of money at stake are a form of gambling activity even though the money or capital you get for gambling does not come from your personal pocket or savings, but from bonuses, events that are being held or gifts from other people to you.  but need to pay close attention that usually the free gifts that gambling sites give to you are just a form of inducement so that when you lose, you will unknowingly deposit your money back to the gambling site for gambling capital, nothing is really free in this world.
988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ads for online gambling should be banned. on: June 28, 2023, 09:39:22 PM
If this should be implemented will it affect bitcointalk casinos? As we all know most established and new casinos come to bitcointalk to launch their ANN thread and carry out signature promotion campaigns which can be regarded as ads in a sense. If ads should be banned will their promotion in Bitcointalk also end?
all gambling activities (gambling players, gambling businessmen and gambling advertisements) will never be all of that because gambling already has a very large money circulation, even many powerful countries run their gambling business (such as lotteries), while for this forum, what is gambling? a criminal activity? so gambling ads on this forum must be banned, of course, the answer is no, in fact, more and more gambling sites appear every day even though there are many that are closed because they fail to attract customers to their sites.
989  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: June 26, 2023, 05:28:21 PM
most people who get drunk are those who lose control of themselves, the kind who can't think normally, and act normally. And when you are very drunk, the things you think and say are not good. Especially if they are gambling, they don't think about how much they are losing.

So sometimes, they will realize in the end that what they did is shameful or they will think that what they did when they were drunk was also wrong.
Losing money in gambling when drunk is risky because they can't think straight and just want to keep playing. Perhaps, they also don't care if they have won and still want to keep gambling. And when they are aware, they will not remember what they have done, but other people will be affected by what they have done. We have to take care not to gamble when drunk, and maybe it will hurt us. And when drunk, we should stay away from gambling than we will later regret or experience defeat that we cannot accept.
although it is not explained in detail why some offline casinos sell liquor, i personally believe it is only for their profit... when gamblers are drunk they will lose control over themselves, so the ability to mind control will decrease, as a result, they will gamble uncontrollably and even spend all the money they have.  maybe some people will have fun gambling + getting drunk because they have a lot of money but for those who only have mediocre money, it is really not recommended to gamble + get drunk, you will only make yourself poorer.

_ Don't risk too much money, start with what you can afford to risk. Focus on the risk not rewards.
that's right, most traders who lose are those who prioritize profits (big capital then big profits), they don't realize that focusing on risk is more important

_ Identify potential risk as;if it goes down, if you don't take profit, if you don't use stop loss and if the coin goes against your analysis.
always prioritize taking profits when you have made a profit (don't hold it too long) and always use a stop loss strategy when the asset value is decreasing by a few percent (don't hold it too long unless you are sure that the asset will increase in the future)

_ Reacting to risk, use stop loss and always take profit.
understanding that risk is the most important thing when trading, never underestimate it.
991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 26, 2023, 04:02:25 PM
People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?
At this time, parents really need to give an explanation to their children about what really makes them become outcasts if they continue to gamble because long-term effects are bad things that will definitely happen to them when their personalities change into people who are just crazy about gambling. 

i, as an older brother who has several younger siblings, keep saying that gambling is actually not bad as long as we can control ourselves when gambling, what's worse is that we get swept up in gambling and forget about our social life and are even willing to spend money and precious time just for can continue to gamble.

Gambling addicts always bring harmful aspects and therefore should be played as a means of entertainment. Many times older and experienced gamblers lose something to gain. You have to decide on your own if you want to quit gambling. Because the addiction goes to such a level that one cannot stop oneself from this addiction even if one wishes. Addicted to gambling, as a result of which his problems are not solved, but the problems are more pronounced.
a psychologist said, people who think they can get a stable income at gambling are people who most likely have become gambling addicts because they can't tell what is real, they also say we cannot make the luck of 1 or 2 people in gambling (who won a jackpot) as a benchmark that gambling can be made as a steady income.  There are various reasons people take part in this gambling (whether they aim to win the jackpot or run a gambling business) but the most appropriate is that gambling must be considered as a means of entertainment only.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 25, 2023, 06:48:35 PM
I believe Milan did the right thing. They should definitely get younger players on the team. I don’t think they should get rid of all the old players. Experience is also needed. But they definitely need young players to boost their performance for sure. The older generation is going to have a tough time keeping up against the young and fast players. If they can manage a good balance between the young and experienced generation, they will actually be able to do very well. I think this was the right decision taken by them about Eden Dzeko.
To be honest, i don't see the decision taken by Inter as good enough because if we look at Dzeko's performance statistics over the past 2 seasons, he was able to provide 31 goals in 100++ matches and that's pretty good imo, well after all young players are definitely more prioritized than a new player for reasons of physical fitness as well as enthusiasm (i still respect the decision of the inter management)
In this transfer market, it seems (which is reported) that Inter Milan will not stop with Marcus Thuram, they will add several other players, to increase Inter's attacking power and their midfield.

Hi!

I have heard about Bitcoin back in 2017 but never got to learn regarding about it. I always thought that crypto was a fluke and that it would definitely not be a type of transaction until pandemic happens.
cryptocurrency is not a fluke, Bitcoin was the first to be created and until now its resistance has been tested, nothing will interfere with bitcoin.

So, as the title would suggest, is it too late to start investing on crypto? And if not, what would be the essentials to learn on working on it?

Thanks in advance!
what do you want to be? whether a trader? or an investor? (this is very important so you can design your own system)

if you really have a big goal of becoming an active bitcoin or altcoin trader then you have to study market trends, technical and fundamental analysis, never trade solely based on feelings and luck, remember that trading is not gambling.

However, if you have a goal of becoming an investor, all you have to do is learn what the concepts behind cryptocurrencies are in depth, and find out how the safest way to store your assets is in the long term.  

good luck and remember it's never too late.

Jordi Alba actually still has a contract with Barcelona until 2024. However, both parties have agreed to end the deal prematurely due to the financial problems experienced by the Catalan club.

After his success with Barcelona now he has to look for new challenges, but in my opinion it is better for Alba to follow in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets to Inter Miami even though he is also still in demand by other top European teams.

If Alba decides to go to Miami, it will definitely benefit both parties. For Miami, the presence of the former Barcelona trio will clearly raise the prestige of the team and of course they will have an extraordinary impact on the club. I firmly believe that the speculation about Alba's future will end and that he will follow in the footsteps of Messi and Busquets.
messi is not a fool who wants to make the future of him and his family look unclear at inter miami, so when there is an offer from inter miami to barcelona veterans, surely they will not refuse it because they are very confident in Messi's decisions and will follow Messi's choices and offers (in this case jordi alba), It is reported that there is only a little more until Jordi Alba officially becomes a new Inter Miami player, even though he is not young anymore but it is predicted that his third appearance (if they are really in the same team again) will make Inter Miami rise in the rankings and become the strongest club in MLS.
996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 25, 2023, 05:49:42 PM
Harry Kane will obviously improve Manchester United if he moved over there, but it does not mean they will surely win the EPL, i don't think Manchester United as a team can win the EPL next season, they still need at least another season with Erik ten Hag before they'll think of winning the title.

Look at Arsenal, they thought they were on their way to the EPL title last season, but in the most important part of the season, City showed them why they have more experience to handle the pressure of the last few weeks of the season. Right now City are just unstoppable in the Premier League and i can't see any team usurping them.
the quality between man utd and arsenal is clearly different, so when man utd succeeds in getting kane, i'm sure man utd can shift man city's dominance in the EPL (especially if man utd manages to get a mason mount from chelsea too), Kane is a very sharp attacker, he even managed to rank 2 of the EPL top scorers last season, it's a shame he wasn't in the right team so he rarely got a prestigious trophy. 
ten hag has a good strategy, he is also very disciplined in building the man utd squad, he doesn't even hesitate to make cristiano uncomfortable at man utd, the next season will be very tight, we must be difficult to determine which team will win the EPL (even i not sure man city can defend their title in the next season)

People can make money from gambling but they must know that to be able to earn money from gambling is not easy. And also, they must be aware that gambling can actually eat up all their money and even everything they have if they have become addicted to gambling. And when they are addicted to gambling, it will be even more difficult to cure it. Gambling can indeed change their lives to have money but they should not use gambling because there are still others who can provide a way for them to make money.
i quite often hear about people going bankrupt because of their gambling addiction, even when they are really abandoned by their families because they no longer have money and are only a burden to the family.  Quitting from an activity that we have been doing for quite a long time is really not easy, but if it has damaged your lifestyle, family harmony and also your financial condition then quitting gambling is what you have to do.  
there are many examples of current gamblers and former gamblers that we can make reference to.  Gambling is just entertainment and stress relief, don't make it your main source of income and routine activities.
998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: June 24, 2023, 05:59:08 PM
As a morally upright person that does not like to cheat people, but gambles and has lost a lot of money to gambling in a casino where you have sometimes been cheated even without your knowledge or betting on sports, will you take an opportunity you get and go against your moral standards to cheat a casino or sportsbetting place, just so you can win big at least even once.

Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?
if we discuss morals in detail then we will not be able to find honest people in this world (even gambling sites cannot be trusted to run their business honestly), there have been many cases where there have been many gambling sites that deceive their customers, as well as player morale, the goal of people playing gambling is to make a win, so the majority will definitely try hard to make a win in any way.

i'm very sure if you get the trick is the best way to trick slot machines, so you will continue to do that, but the thing you have to remember is that gambling sites can easily find out which people I am cheating easily or using effective tricks and will ban you from their gambling sites.
999  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 23, 2023, 06:28:49 PM
Many people find it difficult to accept who they are and the bad habits that they have, accepting a habit is the first step that will determine if any help offered to you will work. As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
everyone will definitely refuse if they are said to have an addiction to something especially when it comes to gambling addiction (which still has bad stereotypes in society in several states), but you don't reject the term "gambling addict" said by other people to you when you are indeed identified as having that history (such as gambling for hours and having debt because of the gambling you are experiencing)

(if i am a gambling addict) when i admit that i am slowly but surely becoming a gambling addict then the possibility that i will recover in the future will be great, the people closest to me will help me recover from it, so there is nothing wrong with admitting it.

age really has a big influence on one's physical strength and now musk is already half a century old while zuck is 39 years old so when this fight happened (i'm not sure if this fight will happen for real) i really believe zuck will win it (just my prediction), even though it won't be easy because both of them are not someone who has the basics as a boxing fighter or UFC.  based on information too, both of them have a little skill in martial arts and this is a good capital to determine who has the most potential to win when the fight really happens.
