1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: Today at 07:01:22 AM
Such assertion in gambling is pretty much easier to say than done, considering how much of the excitement that comes with winning and just quitting after a potential winning, winning gives encouragement, more motivation along side with more inspirations where quitting after such potential winning might not easily be possible but however, is a good advice that worth  considering in gambling exploration, and it will also aids in not over allocating your time, energy and resources in gambling in terms of not seeing gambling as a way of making money but just a fun play or entertainment, quitting is not easy but you may probably play even more when getting up to double of your gambling amount.
Yeah, casinos will try their hardest to keep you betting after you won with multiple sounds, lights, etc, to keep you hooked.

They definitely don't want you to leave after you win.

Notice how when you run out of credit the whole machine just stops the lights and noises.

It's all a mechanism to keep you putting more and more money in.
No matter what they do, the final decision is still up to us. If we have a strong will, we are able to resist our temptation to not come back after a win or even after a loss because I know there are people who can't accept their defeats easily. There are still casinos who are like that desperate to trap us no matter if we win or have just deposited our money but they are already a scam.

There are plenty of them now that casinos are now a popular thing nowadays, so it's important to also make a research before we play at them. Obviously the machine stops when we are not playing anymore. That was only normal and it also helps them save electricity which is important for a business to cut an expense and earn more.
2  Economy / Speculation / Re: Mtgox coin is moving from cold storage on: May 28, 2024, 08:18:22 PM
there is no certainty that mt.gox will distribute the coins to creditors, since there is no official explanation from mt.gox or other sources. even when they distributed the coins, it didn't have a significant impact on the market, since it was only a few billion dollars, compared to the trillion dollar bitcoin market. however, this is enough to give creditors peace of mind, since mt.gox has shown their seriousness in providing compensation to people affected by their case.
But what about those promises that they have made on the past? I think those were officially came from them. I'm surprised that we still have this issue about them distributing the lost coins to their customers. Now is this what you called as serious? Oh well, that was still better than not settling it at all.

A few billion dollar is actually a very huge amount and it's not that far away from a trillion. It can surely shake the market but we must not worry because it will soon normalize once the receiver of those coins sell it for profits because this is where they missed on the past and this is the reason on why they invest on that shady company.

I have no idea about this Drake's curse but I'm sure there is more to it than simply losing a bet, right? Because anyone can experience it. Maybe the curse here is, he always gets unlucky in a boxing match? And that is why you suggested him to switch into another sport but maybe it is not really a curse, rather he is only bad it.

We are now on the future and people should quit on believing on curse, superstitious beliefs, and the likes... Anyways, this is why I don't like to play with high chance game because you are forced to stake high, only to have a decent win, which I find very risky and not really worth the chase. Oh well, I'm not worrying about Drake and his funds might even be sponsored by Stake.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 28, 2024, 06:26:02 PM
Of course it is not ok for anyone to gamble at a very young age, I did and it is not a good idea because at that age you do not really understand the wins and the losses.

I gambled when I wasn't even 16, which means that I was quite young, but I liked it (it was horse racing mainly) and I did made some money time to time, but at the end it wasn't my own money that I gambled with anyone, I just got weekly money from parents, and sometimes I even lost it all, so I waited few days doing nothing, just because I had none left. So that means that we should not really let our kids gamble at that young age, when the yare old enough, they could see if they like it or not when they have a developed brain and understanding of the world, that would make things better.

Napoli did not get Conte for several reasons and may also be influenced by the financial level of the club. Conte has been linked with Napoli but without smooth negotiations it will force them to look for other options.
Gasperini is considered a suitable option because he has a good track record at Atalanta which succeeded in winning trophies and if you look further, what Gasperini achieved was not that impressive in previous seasons.

Napoli must improve if they want to compete next season and they must determine a suitable coach in an effort to create solidarity within the team. If not, a season like this will happen again because they don't have a coach who is able to provide a winning share in every match.
Due to recent changes we are having too many vacant spots with many coaches are in talk as well for the jobs with Conte is having few options which were in limelight but now as mentioned Napoli and Conte are not ending on same note so they are looking for the other options with AC Milan, Juventus and Roma are also looking for the coaches, and we are having Gasperini which bring good success at Atlanta having talk of extended his contract mean things are not suitable for few coaches to have top ranked management.

Napoli which is having worst end after winning title now needs to improve their quality with how things will be work for next season it's also important because we are going to have few changes in team as well with few players are ready to leave club and having their new destinations which are also important.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do your parents invest in bitcoin ? on: May 28, 2024, 06:33:23 AM
yes, especially if they are old, or they don't understand technology. It is very difficult to attract them into this investment. Moreover, when they see the value of their assets decreasing, it might make them panic.
There are old people who are still active and also smart to understand it easily. If not, we still can try to explain it to them and it's okay if they don't want to. There is no need to force them. There are still people who will join it, so the price can still continue to increase and if we are profiting greatly, we still can give something to our parents if we think they are having a financial issues.

Apart from that, until now I think people who have entered old age are people who may not know or refuse to invest in bitcoin or cryptocurrency.
Old people are used to old school stuffs and the technologies they have before are not comparable to what we have now, so I won't totally blame them if they have less or no interest in cryptos such as Bitcoin. If we are on their shoes we will understand it better.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you think about Casinos rewards? on: May 27, 2024, 04:36:34 PM
I'm not sure about players but casinos do benefit from these rewards and promotions because they use them to attract new gamblers for their platforms and gamblers often join new platforms and casinos only so that they can get the bonuses on their first deposits, etc.

Some players might also benefit from rewards and bonuses provided by the casinos in case they are lucky because one can only get something out of a casino reward or bonus if they manage to complete the wagering requirement associated with that bonus because most casinos would have at least a 50x or more wagering requirement that one needs to complete in order to be able to withdraw the bonus or the amount won through it.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: May 27, 2024, 03:49:33 PM
In answer to your question, I will say that the most important thing in gambling for participants is not to use money that you cannot afford to lose, money to pay bills. money for the family, money for loans, etc. If a person cannot restrain himself and spends what is necessary for life, then he should stop gambling so that there are no terrible consequences
Well, people who spend what they aren't supposed to be spending aren't in their right senses because a person who is sane and is in his senses wouldn't do something like that. Gamblers who once get addicted to gambling lose the sense to think critically over matters such as how much money they need to spend on gambling and how much time they need to give to their gambling activities.

This is the reason why gambling addicts mostly lose what they can't even afford to lose because they forget that they aren't supposed to use that money for their gambling activities, or they think that they can recover what they have lost earlier if they use those funds but only to lose it at the end and then uselessly regret.
9  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Most Traders are Not Profitable on: May 27, 2024, 01:04:03 PM
I think If we want to earn profit in trading then we have to correct our choosing factor also , one of which is the currency you choose.  Sometimes we invest in a currency after seeing it go up quickly, and then soon it starts to lose.  This loss is caused by our wrong choices.  So we should always be careful in our selection and preferably invest in top 20 currencies.  Investing in top 20 currencies reduces risks and keeps your investment safe.  Investing in selected currencies with good research and accurate market information reduces your chances of loss.  Avoid investing in haste without doing your research and market analysis and make top 20 currencies your first priority.  This way you can get better results in trading and avoid losses. And can earn profit.
That's called FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and it is one of the worst things a trader can do. Undoubtedly, it can be profitable sometimes but that is extremely rare because a coin or a token will barely go any higher if you are entering when it is already at the peak. The most common reason behind this is a lack of research and understanding of the market. Someone who makes their investments after proper research won't be a victim of this.

This is something mostly done by newbie traders because they are new in the market, and the only thing they understand is that they need to buy low and sell high, and when they see a coin or a token going straight up, they think that it is still going to go up more and they make an entry without realizing that it has been going up for quite some time and it has already reached its peak and won't be going higher anymore.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 26, 2024, 05:00:33 PM
Chelsea is a joke under todd boehly. pochet has started to show his progress but todd sack him. It will be fine if club will try to bring a good coach.



Xavi is now jobless and he can become a very good target by chelsea. I'd rather remove those names and replace them with Xavi as Chelsea's potential coach. Xavi has extensive experience developing young talent in Barcelona. This is what Todd Boehly is searching for a coach that can develop the young player, then chelsea can sell these players with maximum price. It was a big NO to sign Kenneth, Maresca, or even Thomas.

I'm still hoping that Todd will use his common sense and choose Xavi. Barcelona has already dismissed him. It's a good opportunity for the club to hire him as its new coach.
Believe me, Todd Boehly is one of the worst chairmans Chelsea has ever had.  Sad  I really miss Abramovich in that seat. Boehly just doesn't know much about football, it is obvious. Spending billions of euros for transfers but still not even being able to finish the Premier League in top four, sacking Pochettino at the end of his first season already despite the huge improvement in results recently...

I hope Chelsea gets Xavi at least. Xavi is one of the decents choices for the development of young players. We all know how much he cared about Yamal for example. Chelsea has many young players in the squad now so.  Smiley
Todd Boehly era at the Chelsea is going to be the darkest era with things are surely going to be more problematic in coming years because sacking of Pochettino is never been ideal with having good improvement in teams performance and as things were going there were hopes for having spot into top four, but this decision brings them down and uncertainty is again around which could be the worst thing for the fans even many are now having change of mind as Chelsea fan because their heartbroken due to this decision.

Xavi at the Chelsea could be one of the best option while he is quality coach and having good ability to bring good results but can Todd Boehly will be done anything good for the Chelsea now I am also having not good expectations from him after this decision which is really one of the worst and surely now fans are badly missing Abramovich which done amazing job as the Chelsea owner.
11  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How you trade in uncertain times? on: May 26, 2024, 03:08:05 PM
To be ready is a must at all times because even if we think the market is in a stable condition, there are still instances that it changes suddenly and we can get shocked with it and not do the right actions which can be a reason for our losses. Technical analysis is a kind of analysis and not some kind of a strategy but it is still a recipe for us to lessen our risk and even if we lose less, I guess that still counts as protecting our capital.

Diversification is the ones that can be considered as a strategy. Bitcoin should be our base and then we need to choose a stable coin and altcoins properly because not all of them are worth it for our money.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your slices Luck that would have made you millionaire in gambling? on: May 26, 2024, 11:19:50 AM
Well, we all have enemies and yeah that they can pray for us to get a bad luck but that was still wrong, so I don't think it will work just like that. In fact, they are the ones who are going to get a bad karma for that, while you will be more lucky only for them get more pissed and annoyed at you, haha Cheesy.

If I understand the other thing that you are saying, you could have ended up as winner if you are awake to cash out before your last game? Well, I'm sorry for that. This is gambling, or should I say life. Sh!t can happen to us no matter what. So, it is important to be careful and do not just follow the others easily just because you think they can.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Lotto Winner Takes Time To Claim Their Rewards, What's The Point? on: May 26, 2024, 08:33:52 AM
Do you think it's a good idea to claim your winnings a day after hitting the jackpot or wait a few weeks?
The earlier the better for me because the longer you wait the higher the chances of something bad happening. The action I will take will be to take my jackpot and change my location temporarily so I can think about what to do with the money outside the pressure of friends and family, and also for safety reasons. There is no good reason to be waiting to claim your winning, even when you do not need the money in a rush, just claim your jackpot and keep it elsewhere if you have no immediate use for it.
As long as you don't tell them that you are the jackpot winner or never tell them your favourite number to bet in the lottery, there is nothing bad will happen to you. Also if you already have the prize, you don't make it obvious like you buy a lot of luxuries stuffs suddenly. It may only be difficult for some because we can't just keep our money for nothing and there will always be a time for us to spend them.

I guess, we can just be honest with them and give them some tips (money). With the money that we win, I'm sure that there will still be lots that will be left for us, so we should not worry. Doing so, will make them feel better and the relationship that we already built with them for the long years are still there and it even became stronger now.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 25, 2024, 06:48:11 PM
We all thought the FA Cup final was going to be a one-sided match.   Manchester City was the favorite team in this match. And I myself bet on Manchester City to win.   But now it seems that City will not win this match. I'm probably going to lose my money on this match.

Manchester United players scored two goals in the first half.   Garnacho scored in the 30th minute and Kobbie Mainoo's goal after just 9 minutes gave Manchester United a 2-0 lead.

Manchester City has 72% ball possession in this match. Even then, the city players still can't score a single goal.   Since Manchester United has already got a 2-0 lead. It is very difficult for City to make a comeback in this match.
Finals are never been ideal for the betting with in last few days we are having two finals and both gone with huge loses for the punters because things were pretty clear for the favourites to win, but we have good strategy and work by the opponents to give them one-sided defeats which happen while after final between Atlanta vs Bayer Leverkusen I was having feeling we can have another big upset and things gone as expected and Manchester United lead from the front, and they outclassed the Manchester City with their performance which give them second cup under Eric Ten Hag 2 years stay here at the Old Trafford.

Manchester City were in well control and things were looking we can have equalizer, but Manchester United not allowed them for having this opportunity, and they lift this trophy and now having also chance for going into Europa League for the next season.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Luxury items stock will be good way to go on: May 25, 2024, 06:04:52 PM
Although investments are said to be a counter to the economic issues like recession, I still think that the demand for them will be affected negatively because that is the time where people are struggling financially. The word consume seems different from investing. When you say consume I think it's the same as eating on a restaurant.

Even though you feel full and happy for a while, it is still not the same as investing in which you can grow your money over time. I'm not saying that we should not treat our selves anymore, we still can but there should be a limitation to it. No this is not like a bank robbery. That's a crazy example lol. I see nothing illegal on this process but except if they literally do illegal stuff like money laundering, stealing, etc...
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: PEPE time to buy NOW? on: May 25, 2024, 06:18:23 AM
A coin meme that has been pumped without us realizing it has dropped very drastically, Pepe Coin is at a low point with a big burning of coins in some way or there will be a big bubble that occurs in Pepe Coin. Many support Pepe Coi as the most popular coin this year. Keeping a lot of Pepe coins right now would be a good idea, Binance has also approved Pepe as the best coin.
Based on personal experience and market understanding, I believe meme coins that manage to gain a high price once wouldn't be able to do the same thing again. I know that meme coins tend to be extremely volatile and one can get good profit with them if they know when to buy and when to sell, but having extremely high expectations from a meme coin that has already seen its hype in the past is nothing less than being foolish, in my opinion.

So those who might be thinking that they are going to get rich with the investments they have done in PEPE or any other established meme coin that has been hyped in the past should rethink and re-evaluate their decisions because they might be over-expecting and they should look for other means.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 24, 2024, 07:25:25 PM
You are taking Ten Hang statement very serious? His words are far different from his actions and I'm not longer move by his statement because they are just bunch of empty threats. I remembered when he was appointed newly as Manchester united head couch and said that the era of Klopp and Pep is about to end. My expectation after that his statement was to see Manchester united competing for the title among Liverpool and Manchester city but unfortunately, after the first season eyes service and taking them to UCL, the rest is history till today.

This is football and we can not predict the exact winner in the upcoming final between City and United but it is very obvious from the current situation in both teams that Manchester united have no chance of winning. Unexpected result is possible to happen but we should recall that city just won the Premier league title and they look hungrier for more which I don't think they will take it lightly against united. Pep is not a gamble couch who takes game for granted, he approached every game with a winning mentality and strategies no matter the team he's playing against as if he's playing champions league final.
While we are having worst end of the season for the Manchester United, and we are also having too much noise about the job of Eric Ten Hag which is under threat things are looking not good because as we have Pochettino lost his job at the Chelsea now voices are rises for the exit of Eric Ten Hag as well so it's obviously his last statements are fierce as he is trying to have something for his job with most chances no one expecting anything positive from them while they are going to face Manchester City in the final of the FA Cup.

No doubt things are never been easy to predict in soccer while we are having few days back a thumbing lost for the Bayer Leverkusen but still currently Manchester City is at his best, and they will give their best for having impressive end of the season with double trophies and Manchester United which is having lowest ever rank in last few years are looking for the something which give them motivation to have something positive for the next season even we are not sure about their future with their squad needs to be had good changes.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 24, 2024, 03:10:26 PM
Chelsea keeps being ruthless to their manager, their instant success idea hasn't been dropped one bit. Sacking Pochettino may be reasonable, but without a guarantee of hiring a better manager, this decision will backfire them in the future. If they keep giving short time to any manager, remembering their squad is also new and young, their rebuilding process will never reach the expected goals.

Manchester United shouldn't follow this footstep of Chelsea. Ten Hag may have more times than Pochettino, but they were in worse situation that Chelsea when Ten Hag took over. I don't think there will be a coach who is able to improve these two teams. I remember Klopp was also in this kind of situation when he took over Liverpool, but the club gave him time and a proper backup. Liverpool gained the result of their patience with Klopp in the fourth season of him in the charge.
Atmosphere at Chelsea is completely down with the sacking of Pochettino because things were looking impressive and fans were expecting something positive for the next season, but suddenly we are having another dilemma which is going to have huge negative impact because same bad decision done by Boehly which bring this team at the terrible point and now again all indications are clearly going for the another terrible season which can bring disastrous for the fans which were feeling happy.

As many mentioned end of the 2024 is having not ideal for the many coaches because they are losing their jobs despite having good ends but no one can stop this with management and owners are having some serious troubles with the few things which they are not going to have into them now as Pochettino gone we are having another rumour despite any result Eric Ten Hag is also set for exit from the Manchester United which is going to be another drama in Premier League.
19  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Memecoin specifically for holders.. on: May 24, 2024, 08:35:52 AM
The thing is you don't just get into any memecoin you come across.. I've been holding $WIF, $PEPE(just made new ATH), $MYRO in My Bitget account(They listed these coins early before others) for months and they've been doing well consistently..the key for memes to thrive is community support and partnerships. Once a memecoin have that, then they'll keep going. OP mentioned why he's intrigued about HODL and I've come across them on twitter, they've got huge backings with KOLs and community support..if you want to get onboard. Then DYOR and stop being afraid lol.
Everyone knows this already before even meme coin became a thing because in every place, there is always that one evil person. Before community support, the meme coin needs a support of its team first.

If the public sees this, they will get interested and that is how they created a community but they must not do anything shady if they don't want this community to get shattered easily. Same goes with the partnerships. You don't want the OP to be afraid but at the same time you suggest him to DYOR? I think that's contradictory because there is still a chance that he will back out. A true courageous investor will just invest immediately and accept even the outcome is not great.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Did gambling losses are traps to new game on: May 24, 2024, 06:55:33 AM
Quitting is always the best advice if we talk about gambling, but the problem is that most of them are always unable to accept the fact of losing or losing which makes them feel emotional and when this scenario really happens then obviously gambling will no longer feel fun but the atmosphere of gambling in each session will only be filled with pressure and tension due to defeat along with the emergence of problems in their finances due to treating gambling in the wrong way or tend to overdo it.
Quitting is without a doubt the best thing an addicted gambler can do but it's easier said than done because it's extremely difficult for an addicted gambler to stop gambling because they can't do it, the urge to gamble for them is stronger than their ability to think about quitting. Besides, most addicted gamblers don't acknowledge the fact that they are addicted to gambling and that they are ruining their lives with it because they lose the ability to think critically about things other than gambling after some time of the addiction.

A gambling addict can only stop gambling and get away from it if they get help from someone else like a friend or a family member, and this can only be possible if they acknowledge the fact that they are addicted and they need help, otherwise, it is not possible to force them to stop gambling.
