I personally don't believe in the idea that my instincts can help me with my gambling decisions, if that means a greater chance of winning at least. I think that this has more to do with some kind of magical thinking than with any real ability.
Different personality traits, different ways of gambling, and thereof some people prefers to follow their guts when gambling and, if they win, they think that it was because of the influence of their instincts. But this is not my case, if you ask me.
Instincts to me are ideas from experience, not everyone is going to see this the same way though. But personally, I think that it's just using the ideas you know from the past experiences you have encountered. An example of this is when you came across a certain type of game and you notice some similarities in odds and patterns, your instincts can tell you that it might end up the same way as the previous ones, to me that's how I make use of instincts and most times it works. I think that Kahneman would've agreed that the instincts you said (intuition in fact) is is your past experience working, like veteran firemen who enter a burning house and intuitively (instinctively?) know when it's dangerous to open a door and when they can, when there is no time to think. But this works only in similar circumstances, and I don't think that the randomness of gambling allows such practical knowledge to be accumulated, to be honest. |

In countries with devaluing local currencies, they can use stable coins that are backed by US dollar to hedge against inflation. This is happening in countries like Argentina and Nigeria. But crypto is also still useful in developed countries like United States because not only fiat backed stable coins are cryptocurrencies.
As a Spaniard citizen, I am very active in the Spanish board and for that reason I can read firsthand the opinions and experiences of fellows who live in countries where the local country is devaluing terribly in Latin America, who talk about the store of value that are stablecoins for them, and very peculiar stories like the way mining with some cheap laptops the Government gave students for school allowed them to make ends meet. I also talk a lot with my African and Shouthern Asian colleagues from the AoBT, and what crypto is doing for many millions of people who didn't have access to banks and credits is a blessing. |

Please respond responsibly!
You can check the reviews of the casinos on trust pilot to see customers comments about the casino. However, I don't use trust pilot to pick which casino is reputable enough for me to gamble with. I gamble on casinos that are marketing their brand here in the forum because if they're shaddy we gat to know about it from here. -snip- I don't use trustpilot either because not all the reviews there are trustworthy, so it's not a good source of knowledge for me. And yes, I think like you that casinos with great acceptance in this forum are usually safer, (although not necessarily only, or not all casinos that marketing their brand) because we have a bunch of users who are very critical with those gambling companies that don't work as expected, and in the end we know about their practices and recommend to avoid them. |

-snip- Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?
I'm not sure about the answer to this question. I apply myself that rule for substances like cocaine or activities like prostitution, cases where I believe that zero contact is better than any contact. With gambling I definitely wouldn't go that far, but we should ask this question to those who got addicted because chances are that they think otherwise, with a good reason. |

De nada Gazeta  para mí es ya un deber compartir los contenidos que más interés despiertan en el norte, y tu listado de temas que ya han sido traducidos a casi todos los idiomas no se merecen menos que estar también disponibles en la sección española del foro. Seguiré traduciendo con mucho gusto esos textos tan meritados. ¡Un abrazo! |

So my questions are:
1. Are you looking at this statistics and try to bet on those numbers or the neighbouring numbers?
2. No, you just randomly pick the numbers you like, maybe it's your birthday or any other numbers that are significant to you?
3. Or a Drake style betting, wherein he will just bet on the numbers adjacent to his number, usually the number "11".
1. No, I don't believe in hot and cold numbers, the probability is reset after each spin. 2. All the numbers are the same, but unlike what I do when I play lotteries for example, I don't use any randomiser and I just follow my guts when I pick them in roulette. 3. Not my style, to be honest. |

OP: últimamente no he estado usando el buscador (viejo) por las razones que conocemos, por ejemplo, si escribes la palabra clave que recuerdas los resultados son cero o no lanza ningún resultado que vincule a tu idea de búsqueda.
He realizado una búsqueda aleatoria, y de hecho hay resultados que no me esperaba, digo eso en el aspecto positivo.
Recomendaciones, diría que poder sectorizar o priorizar las búsquedas por lenguaje, en mi caso a veces busco cosas de LE y obtengo primero como 5 páginas del norte. No me interesa indagar en el algoritmo, pero supongo que ese valor que aparece en la primera página principal, usa el tradicional del foro: Relevance: xy.z%, creo que esta priorizando las búsquedas en Talksearch, ya que temas recientes no aparecen en la primera página.
En conclusión: Gracias por hacer este buscador que será sin duda una gran solución al existente.
¡Muy interesante esta apreciación, fM! ¿Comentaste esto mismo también en el hilo del norte? lo digo para asegurarnos de que tu feedback llegue al autor del hilo original y creador de la herramienta. No creo que NotATether haga un barrido de todas las respuestas en los foros locales (aunque quizá con su motor de búsqueda pronto quede depurado eso) pero bueno, por si acaso le menciono, lo mismo le salte el BTTSuperNotifier y se pase por aquí. Me uno a tu agradecimiento |

dansus! I'm glad to know that you're still alive  Just a bit of banter, we all have our own personal circumstances. Thank you for the translation, I've just merited and added to the list ^^ And about life, I can't complain but now that you ask, I'm living a season of many changes and uncertainty in several aspects of my life, I guess that's the thing about getting older  It has been already translated into a lot of different languages, but as just a reminder in case other translators want to help you, it is still available in Serbian, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese and a few more. Do we have Hebrew, Chinese or Japanese translators in AOBT?  Gazeta!  not yet, only the underlined languages, but all in good time  |

-snip- Gracias 'Porf'* *Creo que últimamente hay muchos cambios en tú Nick, Bueno, lo de Porf ya va siendo un poco un clásico. Y lo de Porfirio me gusta  pero lo que no me convence todavía es lo de "Porfi", pues no sé si me llaman cariñosamente, o me piden (de manera un tanto cursi) algo por favor... No hay de qué, sabes que es un placer compartir contenido del norte valioso. A falta manifiesta de capacidad para crearlo yo mismo, me gusta pensar que puedo ayudar de esta manera. |

There have been topics like this one before, but this is ok. We often focus in this forum on the risks of gambling, on becoming addict... but if the industry is so successful it must have a beneficial aspect to. For me, apart from short moments of excitement, the main benefit is the hope that, one day, I may end being millionaire because of a multibet or a lottery, which is totally improbable, but also cheap. A very little price for a very big dream doesn't it make sense? |

In my case, only once (for now ). I lost once 1 whole Bitcoin. It wasn't as expensive as today, of course, just 4 digits, in a all-in, double or nothing bet, you know. I remember saying: first and last time. Said and done. His price would be almost life-changing today, but in fact it changed my life in the sense that it changed my point of view about gambling. Nowadays I only gamble/bet for fun, not looking for high risk/high chance but low risk/low chance, so I take the (little) loss for granted, and it is ok for me. |

Muy tarde te contesto, fM  Me alegra que compartirlo en LE haya servido para que no te pasara durante más tiempo desapercibido este gran post. Efectivamente, la grandeza de SN ya no solo es que creara Bitcoin (que sí, pasar de la teoría a la acción tiene grandísimo mérito), sino además la manera en la que lo hizo, la filosofía que le inyectó al proyecto, y que ha sido en mi opinión fundamental para su éxito, al menos durante los primeros años. Al final muchas cosas se protituyen, como dices; no es la naturaleza de las cosas, sino la propia humana. Gracias por pasarte por aquí. Como siempre, un fuerte abrazo. |

-snip- I quote the above case as a precidence to what really string up in my thoughts, and this question goes to those technically exposed gamblers, where do the coins actually goes to in reality? Are coin send with wrong network actually lost? Do casino have a system that can retrieve the money? There could be two possibility. A. The casino has full control over receiving wallets. In this case, they would most likely provide the same receiving address for all supported coins i.e. you get the same address for USDT BEP20 and USDC ERC20. So there is no chance of mistake and you would be credited any supported coins sent to it. B. The casino uses a third party to convert crypto into USD or something similar and they don't process the payment. In this case, you are likely getting temporary deposit address or different address for different coins. There sure could be other options in between but these two are most likely. Almost all of casino I use are type A so there's no chance of mistakenly sending of supported coin to another network. I don't see why the casino or exchange would provide different address for supported chains if they have control over the wallet. This is a very good answer, tsaroz. The OP didn't ask whether you have the right to recover these coins, and this topic has nothing to do with the casinos' different terms and conditions, but with what technically happens to the funds. Different networks may have different addresses, and in that case the coins would be lost. But in the case they share the same addresses, those who hold the keys hold the coins. Who holds it and if they're willing to send them back to him is a question that must be answered case by case. |

Reflotado el hilo, aprovecho para comentar que efectivamente, varían muchísimo los resultados dependiendo del momento en que se hubiera hecho el swapping, pero mal que le pese, porque yo siempre he preferido la "diversificación" (es verdadera diversificación cuando se trata de cryptos), históricamente se da la razón como mejor estrategia a la de los maximalistas de Bitcoin.
Sobre el futuro de nuestros satoshis no hay nada escrito, pero siempre habrá personas interesadas en su caída y auge de alternativas como BCH. Si serán muchos o pocos, y si tendrán éxito o no, creo que aún es muy pronto para especularlo.

You don't need to apologize Adiljutt156, in fact this topic was labelled as "finished" because it was already translated into 10 languages. But, of course, we encourage to keep translating these topics because the more diffusion the better. So thank you for your effort and for your concern. |

I created this thread to help newbies secure their account so they won't get hacked
I wonder why a hacker would want to hack a newbie account when they can literally create a new account, make a few posts, and become a newbie just like that, unless a newbie is too knowledgeable, and has managed to get a good amount of merits early on and then someone else wants to get access to that account because they know they can't achieve that themselves. -snip- I don't know if this is still being done today, but I remember that the sale of accounts was quite frequent when I joined the forum, and the price offered exceeded thousands of dollars in many cases, but even lower ranks where sold for tens or even a few hundreds. And that was before the merit system. What I mean is that your Bitcointalk account that you have built with so much effort doesn't just have a value for you and, even if you don't expect to suffer an attack anytime soon because you think your low rank is worth nothing, if you haven't done it yet, you should start protecting it NOW. |

I was reading a few days ago about tainted coins and how certain organisations seem to be interested in objecting to their use, freezing and requisitioning them from legitimate owners who can't prove the legitimate right for such possession. That means that if most Bitcoins already exist, and only a few will be minted in the coming decades, most of them will have a history very soon, that sometimes may not be totally clean not because Bitcoin's nature, but because of the very nature of human transactions. So I think that this is a negative point, not intrinsically linked to Bitcoin, but in relation to the system.

I like your kind of illustration made here, we all see things differently, sometimes, if we made a decision and it turns to be the best thing ever, then we got more excited about it, forgetting that things may not really work for us in the same manner always like the previous one, in gambling, we should always remember the risk of losing more visible than that of winning, so we don't regret either of the decision being made at last, because we are not always sure of whatever thing we do, until the last result. Thank you Dunamisx. I think that the problem relies not so much on whether it is better to cash out early or not, but on the fact that some people think too much about their bets. And it's completely natural when there is a lot of money at stake, but realising that overthinking on your bets is not a desirable practice in most cases, the use of these products may help forget about them and be able to focus on something else. |
