I don't advise that you should gamble for anything sake, but if it's already a habit that you can't get away with it, peace stick to it until you fine a way/reason to either control it or quit. What's the point advising a child that doesn't even wanna listen nr change?  They wouldn't dare to hold themselves responsible for their habits. Mostly, they'd blame it on alcohol, cannabis and Meths .... Otherwise, they could just stick to doing drugs without being extravagant.

This looks like a  fictional story to me... There's no betting shop that would allow students with uniforms to gamble. It's even unlawful to allow teenagers into your casino outlet as an offense of such would attract apprehension by the state law enforcement agencies.

Edit:Let's all be mindful of what we share online... It can either be be for or against a particular locality or country...

I don't believe this, but I can respect and follow any speculations to achieving it.. The problem is, if i can't find any possibilities of a win in the process, I'm done with it!

There are several strategies to how you can achieve a win and be successful... The problem is how you can trace it at the right time

it's high time we knew that a man is entitled to what he believes... It could either MAKE you or BREAK you. I see religion as a dissociation aside from the faith - Christianity, Buddhism etc ... These rules were simply created by people like you and me.. do you wanna doubt the fact?  Why's every religion's faith with a doctrine? If we've got one God for everyone, why's everything different?

I try as much as possible to not get influenced by whatever my religion says.. I have personal decisions I make and, it could be against my beliefs but, that could be a thing for others. If I'm a gambler, I'd better stick to it than listen to whatever anyone would say.

it's actually a good strategy - depending on the games you selected, and also, for which team/division your picks were based on... Assuming you selected some games from the Scottish premiership and your options were home/away to win depending on their advantage and positions on the table; say, the smallest points was 1.79 against 12 odds, how do you reverse your analysis for a possible win? Wagering on 12 odds against 1.79? Where's the win possibility?

You don't really have to do much of an analysis to win... What you experienced was luck and it doesn't really mean it'd happen all the time.

Do i call this some fake news that has been escalated with the purpose of earning streams and views? Or do I believe it?

It's never happened in the history of premier League that most matches are being set to either win or lose... That'd mean obviously, that the whole passion that reflects in people's faces and minds would be for something that could easily be manipulated, even without their consent.
For the ones I'm sure of, all the games in the lower championships and divisions from different countries are fixed! How do y'all think the idea of coupon bet came about? It's basically about how good you can be in retracing certain events and making evaluations for a possible draw×.

Okay... Hold on a second - what do you mean "waiting"? Like running weekly/extension trades? Or HODLing Bitcoin? If it's the former, it'd require a whole lot of skills and experiences and huge capital base to set up a weekly trade that'll run on losses for as long as 3 to 4 days, before ushering in the profits. You also gotta be skilful with your stoploss and take profit option.

For the later, the description on a type of person that works 8 hours a day would fit in for it ...as it doesn't require any extensive technical knowledge. All they gotta know is when, how and to what quantity they can buy at a time. Imagine buying and HODLing BTC at 19k, compared to today's rate? You'd earn 3-4 times of what you invested..

That I choose not to HODL doesn't make trading= gambling.

it happens even more often than how it seems... People tend to rush into discussions cluelessly - maybe with a little idea about what the topic says and without reading the content, just to get to realize that they're a little bit off topic. In that case, occurrences like what you described becomes very frequent.
I seen people lay alot of complaints on the effects of edited posts recently. It could then be treated as major point of concern.

it's possible, but it'd be with great difficulty. Caches don't just clear up in a matter of seconds so it might still need a little more time to sync the adjustments. Writing a code and adding a domain for the redevelopment would cost money... It's up to Theymos to decide!

The campaigns don't need to augment their pay rates for whatever reasons that should be.... I mean, they could decide to not raise the payments. Secondly, you also don't have to force things on people; alot of posters with accounts in disguise in here are millionaires.. if they choose to not advertise any casino for offering a lower pay rate, that's exactly their own decision!

it's appalling that the actual genuiness and hunger for more adept knowledge on Bitcoin has been traded for a token; if truly, most people left the community for that reason, I'll be damned for not knowing how less interested people could be on things they earn nothing from.
Edit: I'd be surprised too... Why must I be entitled to something that's not an entitlement?

It's not an unusual trend as that has been happening for a long time before now... I mean, why would you wanna fight to reserve a spot on a newly posted thread? No matter if it takes you 30 minutes to finish a single post, you'll however have a spot on the first page.

I don't think that'll be a good idea since one could decide to merge a reply from another post, without allowing too much time. There could also be a time you wanna add an extra content on the previous post without showing as though it's been edited already.

I only edit my post on purpose; maybe if I have a little typo or I'd need to search for some function or link whatsoever!.

It's really frustrating to get ignored for just wanting to be real. mind you, this happens to some cases and, the outcome isn't always the same. I try as much as possible to scrutinize my cycle, avoiding any form of misunderstanding monetary-wise

I've seen good friends turning their backs on themselves for indulging in a business that later went unproductive; the later requested a refund but was told he's gonna get half since it wasn't the former's fault.
Thirdly, I don't wanna be a bum for tryna make you follow my path; if he sees that you could make a few bucks outta your journey and he deliberately retracts the idea, that's his cup of tea

Edit: Is that a problem right now? If that was some fictional story, it's fine... Did you learn anything from it?

That's one of the lamest advices I've heard in a while and I'd rather tell him to leave the money in the bank as the company may require an immediate asset to run an upgrade, develop new devices whatsoever...
it depends on whatever extra thought you gave him, that we ain't aware of.

If they'll ever be a third world war, the state of things would deteriorate and they'll be more casualties that own Bitcoins than survivors that own them... can you imagine a scene where an aircraft crashes and the people around are the first to get to the scene? They'll be left with no choice than to get away with anything they can lay their hands on... That'll just be the fate of most careless people.

Edit: It's actually impossible at this point already. Bitcoin has had undoubtedly a good start, and most importantly, a promising return.
I'd rather lose to the game for being too stubborn on when to buy, than not buy at all.

That's the same guy that dragged you althrough the reputation board and claimed you're tryna interrupt his affairs on bringing in a new gambling system type of shit? I read through the argument and the wall of crap he wrote and, none of that made sense honestly.
How TF does he think he can possibly convince people on some money generator shit??
Maybe that's just what he deserves.. if the MODS are not responding, he could eat as much reg tags as he seems...
That doesn't mean a thing... If he shows up, we'll just have to repeat the same process... Simple!!

I'm ashamed of realizing that I barely have a good report history. There's actually alot of ways to help moderate spam individually in here aside waiting on moderators themselves. One of the damn reasons why I stood up against a suggestion that moderators state their reasons for deleting or merging a user's post ...WTF??

I know too well that we have several shitty/scammy post deleted at the speed of light (several seconds after being posted)... Infact, that's a good motivation for me.
That's quite interesting! I'm hearing this for the first time and I feel awkward for not doing what y'all do.

He sits beside me whenever I'm on my PC at his place... Dammnn!! Man wasn't joking the last time he told me about an altcoin, claiming it could be part of Bitcoin..Lol

He has pretty much a good interest innit; funny enough, he told me about this set of people that claimed to be crypto enthusiasts. They came around and rented one of the most expensive floors on a government residential building in the neighborhood for an office. He paid, got some mentorship and a little bonus in worth of coins before he told me anything. WTF?
Right now, since he's biblophilic too - he's done a good level of reading (with my coaching) and doesn't seem to relinquish.

Edit: meanwhile, mum sees everything that requires money like a scam! Hahaha!!

You shouldn't say it's better; one of the hardest thing to do is creating a follow-up or understanding market's decision to know exactly when it's most condusive to buy during the DIP.. not everyone has that spare time to analyze the trend. Eitherways, to begin trading, you'd need the skill, time and most importantly - a thick-skin to accept whatever loses you encounter.

That doesn't make trading more lucrative either. As harmless as it looks to be greedy, you could end up like a pulp for it.
Bottomline is - Do whatever profits you the most.

Theymos is beginning to tire. Do y'all think he's not been thinking of what the next 5 years would look like? Cus what in the world is stopping him from the completion of the new ecosystem? Resources? That can't be!
On the other hand, critics aren't kept grounded for whatever proposal they'd make against Bitcoin as long as the forum stays...why? Bitcointalk alone has made an impact that is believed to enlightened atleast 1/3 of bitcoiners (excluding cyber theft aged or retired persons)

Can we accertain that most high ranking members today would stay? ^{it's not about using some "pronouns"}

I feel like we would have nothing left to discuss and, if it ever happens, I'll just focus on the WO thread for periodic updates and postings... The rest of the boards would have lesser activities.

okay... Lemme get this straight; do you really wanna go back to the old times, when the forum had alot of trash post that you'd have to sort your way through just to find an interesting topic? Huh? I thought we all saw the incessant spamming/bounty cheating as a threat that could recreate an unruly and discoordinated forum?.. if you're serious about this (and if it's not just your usual way of joshing on substantial issues) That would mean the fight against all odds to eliminate spam was a mere formality to you?.
And that would definitely bring back the traffic and a couple of good posters that left for some unknown reasons ?
Edit:
A time will surely come, where companies would either pay smidgens & cents for signature promotions or assume BTT as not fit enough to provide the desired traffic.

NotFuzz, sorry to sound a little bit stupid but -- do you really wanna make your own analysis on how we could basically improve (ofcourse, this is about creating pathways for improvement) based off of your daily routine? I'm one a hundred percent certain that atleast 89% of users in here aren't miners, which doesn't correlate with that fact that privacy orientation doesn't bother you at all. It could definitely be a fair plan for you as a miner.


Signature campaigns were introduced way back 2014 right? Lemme get this straight: how populated was the forum compared to the recent times? Has there been very much differences between the early days and the new-era?

There's never a time that these hasn't been an issue... I think we gotta let it out!

That's exactly what it is -- you don't wanna lookpast every single rationale, do you?. It could look to you like there are some other factors behind the deterioration but, practically, it's nothing more than what we've already known.
Meanwhile, we've got testimonies from people of the old times and, they're all dismayed by the new-era forum and its atrophy. Sometimes, I'm almost left with nothing to read - leaving me an option to either struck my wooly hair and cogitate or log off for the day!

We're only left with the thought that things would either get better or worse, just like you said... For "it's better to allow an ignorant man to roam the community selflessly forever, than incentivize him limitedly"
TIME!!
It's a major determinant for everything under the sun.
