From my experience, I usually prefer to bet before the match starts. As far as I know also, some betting platforms close their betting deals once the game starts which makes it impossible to bet. Though this happens rarely, I mostly encounter this situation.

In addition, I find myself winning every time I stick to my gut. I do not change my bets and prefer to bet whenever a certain timeframe is given for us to place the wagers.


I find this interesting- I might try and explore other sports betting websites that offer bettings that can be changed during the game. Most of the ones that I have tried had locked once the game starts.

I find it both funny and ironic that some people claim cryptocurrencies or BTC as a ponzi scheme, but they are the ones who are not knowledgeable about the given topic. I am very sure that they get their information on false media platforms, like TikTok, Facebook, or any other medium which spread false information about it.

I am also appalled that the teacher mentioned and agreed that BTC is considered as a ponzi scheme. As a teacher, he/she has the responsibility of informing his/her students through verified information, not by some rumors or any kind of false information.

I do recommend to ask your nephew and question on how his teacher came up with the conclusion on why he considered it as such. If the teacher cannot give any verified information and/or source on why he claimed it as such, then better to ignore him and his classmates.

I appreciate the insights you provided and the concrete examples on how the VIP system works and the different qualifications in order to receive rewards/bonuses from different casinos you have participated.

The VIP system was designed in order to keep a loyal player base in a given casino. The focus is catered towards a loyal clientele by providing more bonuses the higher they spend on a certain amount of time (on your example, stake requires 3000 usd wagered weekly to be qualified). Of course, the higher you spend, the more bonuses you would receive.

In conclusion, I think everything boils down to one's preference of availing that VIP status. But if you were to avail such status, might as well pick a casino that had already established its name in order to maximize it. Avoid casinos that are relatively new on the market due to the risk of them closing down without any notice.

I really doubt that BTC would become the currency for as little of 10-15 years from the future.

Remember that BTC solely exists on the internet. With this, there are many countries who do not have access to basic food and education, let alone the technology to support a cryptocurrency online platform with their designated wallets inside their mobile phones.

In addition, to become the currency of the nation, it must have approval and acknowledgement from all the countries in the world, or else it will prejudice them. There are some countries who prohibit the utilization of such and there are even massive prohibition from its usage.

Like what I also mentioned to similar posts like these, experience will still be the best teacher. Even if a person reads tons of guides and information about a certain act, he/she will not fully grasp the whole situation until they experience it.

Just like in gambling, the best way to learn from one's experience is to personally experience the win/loss of your resources. Until you realized personally that you are guilty of your actions, that is when a person is more convinced that he/she will at least attempt to stop gambling.

Though this may be the case, I still appreciate people for compiling several lists about their techniques in order to avoid getting addicted. Obviously, they are the ones who have already walked this road and they are imparting the lessons that they have learned along the way to warn curious people about it.

Prior to replying on this post, I have no clue about the difference between a web 2 vs a web 3 casino. Upon doing some searches, I stumbled upon this definition provided by Google, which is as follows:

The main difference between Web 2.0 and Web3
Whereas Web 2.0 is based on centralisation and control of a few institutions, Web3 promises a virtual landscape based on decentralisation and peer-to-peer transactions, mainly facilitated through the integration of blockchain technology.¹

This is very interesting- it implies that web 2 casinos have ownership over the game assets; whereas web 3 casinos, it is centralized and players have ownership over the game assets. I agree, players should definitely avoid web 2 casinos even if they may provide higher bonuses and rewards. The fact that the players have no ownership means that the game operators have full control and disposal over its assets.

I somehow disagree with your post.

Regardless of the status of a person, whether be rich, middle class, or poor, everyone is prone to gambling addiction due to its nature.

I also disagree with your statement that the rich will not be addicted to gambling. With almost endless capital at their disposal, they can certainly be addicted to gambling by betting almost everyday. With this kind of money, they are prone to gamble at least almost everyday to feel that adrenaline in a game. Sure, some might not focus on winning money but they get addicted with the feeling of adrenaline on their games.

Though this may be the case, if a person thinks about the satisfaction of gambling and not about the profits, they are less likely to get addicted to the act. Some gambling addicts are aware of the consequences of their actions but they still let their addiction cloud their judgement just to satisfy themselves with it.

Receiving a merit is a proof of your hard work- you see that people appreciate and acknowledged that you indeed contributed to the forum. It also gives you the feeling of confidence where your efforts are validated due to your contribution. I agree- receiving merits is one of those feelings of satisfaction and hunger where you want to contribute and create more threads for people to appreciate.

I applaud your purpose in this forum- you create posts in order to contribute to the betterment of this forum. While others are too busy to rank-up as they create spam threads, your focus and goal is toward creating a healthy environment for everyone to learn and accept.

Keep up the good work, OP. While you may be only scratching the surface, you are definitely doing it right and going on the right direction.

This is the answer- everything is based on estimation which is completely dependent on the mined blocks under the blockchain. If suddenly, people would not transact with BTC and miners would not confirm any transactions, the date of estimation on the halving would thus increase.

Though this may be the case, I seriously think that the coming halving will significantly impact the price of BTC in the market. By basing it purely on history, almost all halving increased the price of BTC, which makes this the perfect opportunity to HODL and/or invest for either short or long-term.

Interesting question- both trading and gambling are risky ventures on itself but they provide a possibility of getting significant high amounts of profit.

To answer your question, I would divide my answers into two (2), which are as follows:

Short-term: Gambling; and
Long-term:: Trading.

If you are chasing for profit, it is almost impossible to profit in gambling due to its nature. Sure, every now and then a person may experience a profitable day in gambling but the results cannot be consistent as you are dealing with odds.

In trading, while it may be risky, experience teaches you a long-way. The more you trade, the more knowledge and experience you gain from the process which makes a person expert in this field. There are lots of possibilities to lower the chances of a person failing on a trade as there are also devices for emergency purposes.

The moment that I saw this post on Reddit, I knew that there will be a bet being posted here in this forum.

If this fight were to continue, I would definitely vote for Mark Zuckerberg to win. Again, this dude is a robot- he is designed to destroy any opponent without any sheer of emotions and empathy. As far as I know, Mark is a gold medalist in MMA where he also trained self-defense techniques with experts. If he is going to fight Elon, which is an obese fatty, he would definitely win. Not to mention, Mark is ten (10) years younger which puts him in a great advantage with speed and stamina.

I just really hope that this fight materializes in the future, though I really doubt that it would continue.

Yes this is very possible and this kind of scenario typically happens in new established casinos.

I remember that there was a thread created where it provided a list of people who were intentionally kicked out of casinos for winning too much. Though these casinos did not go bankrupt, the fact that they recognized the winning spree of a person implies that their loss beginning to dominate over their profit. This explains on why some casinos ban other players for winning too much other than the reason of bad attitude, etc.

I agree with your statement.

With the pandemic happening, it not only proved that jobs can be accessed in an online environment but also services. It pivoted and shifted the focus in an online and satellite scale where almost all businesses are attempting to create services available. The pandemic proved that online gambling is more convenient than visiting a physical casino, which poses more risk and problems with the gambler.

Though this may be the case, visiting a physical casino is still not obsolete despite the resurgence of online gambling. In fact, lots of physical casinos have been developing more and more games and improvements to their services in order to compete with this kind of platform.

Well, I think we have to give him some props when he compiled this list. This is not only informative but it also provides data on how much viewership and traction gambling advertisements affect streaming websites. Instead of questioning his decision of creating another list, we should give him some credit for it.


I think it is essential to know which streamers host gambling advertisements. There are lots of twitch streamers who conceal their true purpose and at the end, they tend to focus on gambling advertisements more. Though this is not an issue to many, there are still who are genuinely concerned by it.

When I joined this forum last 2017, my first focus was to familiarize myself with all the internal rules and regulations in order to prevent any mistake from happening. I frequently asked our local boards for guidance and support and I also did my research about the forum.

When the merit system was implemented, this actually pushed me to further contribute to the forum. Despite my efforts, I realized that creating discussions and replying with an extensively-written reply did not equate to me earning merits. So, I shifted my focus to reporting scammers and hackers across the forum.

The beauty of doing this act is that you receive the best of both worlds- not only do you help cleanse the forum and warn users about hack/scam projects under the ANN board; but you also receive merits due to your hard work.

Again, let this not cloud your goal of contribution. When you actually think of contributing, merits become secondary to your purpose.

Well for starters, I think you can fulfill this dream by earning enough cryptocurrency and convert it via p2p exchanges to your local currency. In this way, you indirectly used your BTC as a payment to the transaction of purchasing your pizza. Though I am not sure if what you want is to directly transact, this kind of way is the most plausible and convenient way given the current state of BTC.

Personally, my dream is to use my heard-earned BTC all the way to retirement. I hope that its price skyrockets and it will catapult my earnings to retirement plans as it would enable me to purchase my very first house and car in the process.

When it comes to a complaint for a recovery for a sum of money, if the person cannot fulfill his obligation on time which is stipulated by the judge, then the sheriff can proceed against the personal or real property of the debtor in this case. If the person who gambled cannot fulfill his obligation of paying all of the sums required, then the judge may order for any of his properties to be sold in favor of the creditor-agent in this case.

At the end of the day, it depends on the ruling of the judge on how he would perceive the case depending on the stipulated facts. But the fact remains that the debtor has a debt that incurred during his gambling sprees.

No matter how high or low his monetary income is, he has the obligation of paying his obligation on the stipulated date and failure of such would make his personal/real properties liable for the debt.

Nope- this is something that I see impossible for me to do no matter how the system neglects or cheats me. Remember that when the system fails a person, cheating or continue failing for them is not the answer. When this kind of scenario happens, the correct remedy is to change casinos given the number of available online casinos in the market nowadays.

Cheating is never the option no matter how difficult the situation may be. Contributing further damage and neglecting my morality for the sake of just winning money at the end is not worth it given on how I was raised in the first place.

The answer depends on the perspective of the person on how he views himself in this kind of entertainment.

If a person somehow denies that he is an addict but his actions say otherwise, then he would most likely get offended and he would justify his actions very well. If a person who is aware that he is indeed suffering from addiction, then most likely he would accept it as a sign for him to receive treatment and support for his actions.

Personally, I would get offended if someone calls me an addict just because I gamble once or twice a month. Maybe it depends on the gravity and the number of times I gamble. Obviously, if I do not gamble frequently and someone calls me an addict, I would get offended by it.

I must say, I admire your courage for purchasing BTC before you actually studied it. Normally. potential investors would first study and research the market before they commit to an investment. Though the price of BTC has went down and somehow stabilized, this should not discourage anyone from attempting to invest in this space due to its sheer potential in the future.

By basing it purely on its price history index, you would observe that the price of BTC increases over the years. Along with the upcoming 2024 fork, expect its prices to increase higher as the days passes by.
