1  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Your Name Become an Economy? Why Building Your Own Personal Brand Matters on: July 09, 2025, 12:35:58 PM
I like how masterful Donald Trump uses his surname as a brand. Anyone who can afford, put Trump in their product name and immediately get recognition. Also product get recognized as something expensive and luxurious. Make a product, add Trump to its name - it will add greatly to product price and get a lot of free promotion.
his surname will obviously be popular because not only is he the current us president but he became the president twice

but before he became president he was i think quite popular already as he was very rich and a very well known politician back then. what is his brand then? back then it was being rich i believe. now people may have different opinions of the name trump.
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / gambling in prison on: July 09, 2025, 12:22:16 PM
have you ever been to prison? it is a tough life in there. no matter what you did or whether you were wrongly accused for something, prison is not for everyone. it is obviously lonely as you gets separated away from your family. it can get boring, not being able to do what you want.

but gambling, even tho is prohibited, is often what entertains most prisoners. there is no actual money in prison so they often exchange in other forms of currencies like food or smuggled items. even their way of gambling is smuggled. cards, dice and even information from the outside are all smuggled.

the reason why gambling is prohibited tho is because it might escalate into fights if someone for example loses and doesn't pay their debts

just shows how gambling will always exist anywhere
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As an experience gambler what is your advice to newcomers on: July 07, 2025, 04:25:37 PM
My advice is that you think if you are a person that gets addicted to other things easily. If you are, you should stay away from gambling even as entertainment. Except some hard drugs, gambling is the most dangerous addiction that can quickly ruin your life.
i will say alcoholism is pretty up there regarding danger

but anyway it’s really hard to say if you are an easily addictive person since some might already be addicted to other things like alcohol and smoking which doesn’t make them very logical anymore

Musk decided that this is not what he voted for, nor what he supported and is now clearly playing with the idea of creating a rival party.
this will be interesting but i think he is going to be humbled pretty hard politics is a different game and he might be a rich successful businessman with a very strong influence on the internet but politicians are not born overnight. you need the right connections, right followers, right platforms and etc if you have to be cunning you have to be
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Participation in sports predicts on: July 04, 2025, 04:25:41 AM
There are times where I make predictions even without having to placing a bet on the predictions, and most often this predictions turns out exactly the way I predicted it meanwhile when I place a bet on it, it goes the other way round. So my experience with that kind of predictions has always turned out wins which justifies my choice, I don't usually take down analytics of the match,  I would like to join a very genuine community if I see one  where we can share ideas and make predictions that we all get to benefit from it and make profit and more win.

It can happen the other way round because we dont know when we will be lucky. In most cases I make predictions and bet on them I end up winning while sometime I end up losing. One advice I can give you is to be careful of any community you want to join. Most predictions they make are not better than the ones you make. Sometimes, try you predictions and compare the odds of you winning. Personally, I wont bother joining any community aside from friends group where I am allowed to share ideas.
if i do not want to actually bet i just do fantasy sports where it kind of allows you to predict the results of the events without the traditional formats and of course the money associated with it

it is fun to basically mix and match the players in a fantasy sport while at the same time having to monitor how they are actually performing in real life
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beware of fake casino app infections on social media. on: July 04, 2025, 03:47:28 AM
Deep fake videos are now used by a lot of scammers, it's easy for me to know if this is true or false, all I have to do is go to Mr beasts page on this social media pages and check if he's really advertising a casino. If he's really doing an advert for a casino then the videos would be on his page. These fake apps are now becoming something else, people need to be careful about what they download on play store
unfortunately people have become too lazy and vulnerable nowadays

so many people believe news delivered by other people and not by direct source and we know that due to social media these fake news spread like wildfire and once many people have gotten a hold of the news it is hard to stop it because others will share it as well and the cycle continues
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Humanoid robot soccer league on: July 02, 2025, 11:34:49 PM
Haha gave me a laugh seeing the robots wobble and topple over like toddlers but it's kind of mind-blowing to think this is just the beginning. Seems like we’re slowly building toward a whole league of robot sports. I might throw in a cheeky bet for fun especially if they start giving the robots names and personalities! I can see this becoming a serious thing down the line especially with China pushing hard in AI. Just hope we don’t end up with a Robo Messi that never misses!
a robo messi is not that impossible because robots can be programmed in a way that maximizes productivity

is it possible that the robots can be made into a way that there is still some errors so they are so not unstoppable? i guess this would turn into a bet of who are the best programmers and can make the best robots

Newbie to bitcoin here.
I started stacking in March once I determined bitcoin was no longer a risk, it was a sure thing.
your first mistake might be treating bitcoin like a sure thing

there are still risks and bitcoin is still volatile but it all depends on how you go about your investment and that is what makes a difference on the profit you will make

Bitcoin dominates --> Regular John sees writing on the wall as fiat currency crashes --> Bitcoin is too scare and pricey to get any amount equal to the dollars they've saved --> large companies, governments, and early adopters become hyper wealthy --> major wealth gap and misery for most of the world except us --> sad state
you do not need to equate the amount of fiat you have or have had just keep trying to invest through dca or whatever strategy fits you

OP, I hope you're determined to turn into a new leaf. Once and for all, just quit gambling. Your addiction has reached certain levels that's not only damaging to you but also to other people and your relationships with them. 

But you whining won't help you. Improvement doesn't happen if you don't even have the courage to take responsibility. You're passing the blame on others. Stop it. Don't run away from responsibilities. Be a man! Face it!

Betpanda is a casino and a betting site. What do you expect from it, to tell people like you not to gamble because it might destroy lives?
honestly it seems like op could be asking for a refund but only to gamble again

you are looking for other people to blame because you can't take responsibility for your own actions yes in a way the casinos are responsible for the gamblers but at the same time we really can't completely expect for the casino to cure us of our addiction we also should help ourselves to get out of that hole
10  Local / Pamilihan / gatchalian, hinihikayat na paghigpitan ang laban sa mga illegal gaming websites on: July 01, 2025, 07:01:18 AM
napansin ko na dumarami na nga ang mga gaming o gambling sites dito sa bansa. may nakita pa nga ako na ipinalabas sa tv bilang isang commercial. naririnig ko rin mula sa mga kapitbahay ang walang sawang paglalaro sa mga online sites na ito. napakalaking balita rito ang tungkol sa pogo kaya't understandable na gugustuhin na ng mga politiko, partikular na si gatchalian na maghigpit sa mga gaming websites ngayon.

ayon sa pnp report, marami raw sa mga filipino ang naging scammers dahil natuto sa pogo bago pa ito mapahinto. naisip ko tuloy kung ang paghihigpit ba na ito ay magdudulot na mawala na ng tuluyan ang mga gaming websites? baka kasi sa sobrang higpit ay kahit ang mga legit sites ay mahirapan rin. ano sa tingin nyo? pabor ka ba kung sakali na maghigpit sa mga pilipinong gumagamit ng gaming sites online?
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Basic rules in gambling on: June 30, 2025, 11:01:41 PM
These are indeed very basic rules in gambling, so basic that everybody who's gambling must be familiar with these guidelines, including those who have since been addicted to it.

Therefore, it's probably not these guidelines or knowing these rules that will protect a gambler from going off course and become addicted. More than knowing the most basic of rules, I guess it's discipline that will make sure gamblers can manage to stick to these rules whatever happens.

Knowing the rules and developing self-control are probably the keys, the perfect combination, to remain safe with this vice.
well said

some gamblers may know these rules very well but it doesn’t mean they uphold these principles as strictly as they should be doing. sometimes they just don’t care and prioritizes what they want more than what they need
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever fallen victim to a reverse scam in sports betting? on: June 30, 2025, 10:48:23 PM
Let’s say there’s a race with 6 horses. The scammer, let’s call him Robin Grin, shares different betting tips with different groups of ppl.
the moment i read that this was about someone sharing tips i knew how it would go down because let’s be honest there’s very few “genuine” tipsters they are also just betting on what could be the right bet since there’s no guarantee he can win unless the match was fixed
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When your kid talk about Bitcoin don't assume it's all good on: June 28, 2025, 11:01:35 PM
Honestly, kids need proper monitoring, and it would be a very good thing if they were monitored properly. Children nowadays are claiming smartness, but what some kids may be doing online with their smartphones is different from what they tell their parents. They even cover it up with crypto, especially if they manage to make money in wrong ways.
kids will always be like this let us not forget i think that their ways just evolved but kids will always keep secrets from their parents this is not crypto's fault

So, immediately after his dad seized the phone, the boy wanted it back and bought another new phone worth over $500. His dad was surprised and asked him where he got the money to buy the phone. The boy told him he was into crypto mining. After they paid him, he used the money to purchase Bitcoin. Now that the Bitcoin has pumped, his money has also increased.So, his father seized the phone again, and after gaining access to it, he discovered that the boy was involved in an online dating scam.
it is surprising how much kids know these days to the point that they are the ones leading the scam industry lol i think this is proof that the child is smart though just needs to be redirected
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In the future there will be no casino that is KYC free. on: June 26, 2025, 07:08:02 PM
Casinos will get regulated in a more stricter way going forward because one major concern of the crypto gambling is that crypto gambling has been used in money laundering so to prevent that regulations is important
it could depend maybe some countries will be more open to crypto gambling

they might not be as strict as long as the crimes are not reaching new heights and instead the gambling industry is bringing in immense profits to the country and the fact that crypto is also being welcomed more and more should be taken into consideration
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting as investing on: June 26, 2025, 06:51:44 PM
has anyone ever been successful with gambling and treating it like an investment? investments despite having risks should not be as risky as gambling where you would totally depend on luck

and i think the approach will always be different because many traders see it as a job and not as an entertainment experience but gamblers find joy in gambling

you are absolutely right it has taken our ability to think and have critical thinking skills it has taken our abilities to make art and be creative it’s sad because there are thing that are supposed to be human or made by human like art

ai is not supposed to be used for makinb art it was supposed to be used for better working conditions like processing up an operation etc
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Strategy in gambling like trading. on: June 21, 2025, 02:42:23 PM
I have been reading through many of the topics on gambling and based on my knowledge of trading I had to think of something that if people treat gambling the way they treat trading will that increase their chances of success? For instance, will chances of success increase if people choose to bet on specific outcomes in the game as the game is on rather than the result of the whole game as many gamblers usually target. I think it will be easier to guess some specific outcomes in a game when you see how the game is progressing. What do you think of this?
they are only similar in a sense that you have to watch out for signs to decide but i find it hard to connect trading with gambling honestly

there are games that allow you to keep betting as the game is going on but a lot of games only will allow you to bet before the game starts and even if you are watching anything can happen in live sports

Also is there any safe place right now

good for you

there are countries that will be affected should nuclear bombs go off and i do not think we will be much affected but we should not become complacent and laid back because we never know what can happen and we can still be reached no matter how far
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Long-term earnings in sports betting are evidence of high intelligence. on: June 18, 2025, 11:40:15 AM
In fact, let's face it: long-term earnings in sports betting can be considered a kind of IQ test. If you play not for fun, not for research purposes, not for the purpose of testing some method or strategy, but for the purpose of making money in the long term, then we can say that you have a high gaming IQ if you can achieve this goal.
maybe they are just really involved and knowledgeable about sports does this mean they are smart all around? maybe not but they might have a talent for numbers and statistics and analysis and that is a pretty handy skill to have nonetheless imo
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin need Foot Soldiers to get optimum adoption? on: June 18, 2025, 11:30:07 AM
If you ask me I will say there's no need, bitcoin is already self sustainable, I can't remember if I ever saw it's advertisement on any TV station or any promotional platform
that is because no one owns bitcoin that will directly profit from endorsing it

well i guess us investors will profit if the price rises but the point is we do not own bitcoin as a whole it is not private owned so no one promotes it as an ad in tv like a product
