They say that sports betting has no house edge, but why is it it's still hard to win here?

Because it is still a form of gambling so luck has a role in order to win even though the chance is higher. Unlike other types of gambling, in sports betting there are many factors that will help you to win like the popularity, their records or listen to some opinions of sports analyst.

The fact that it is gambling is the main reason that you won't earn money from it as much as you want.

Betting on sports does not have an house edge but I think the reason you are not winning is because you are betting on the wrong team. Sports betting is also gambling but what made it a little better from other gambling games is that you can monitor the teams performance and progress and if you will review there statistics then it will give you and idea which team has an edge over another. I know most bettors mostly bet on their favorite teams regardless of the performance or stats, so I guess that’s what made it difficult for some to win even in sports betting.

Well, good point here mate but it also depends on the sports because there are some who bet on teams that has good performance but sometimes underdog wins. There are those times that the team you least expect to win will win. For me, it’s good to study the performance of the teams but sometimes luck is also a factor, sports betting is still considered gambling which meaning that you need both luck and history to win.

Mistakes can't be avoided since we are humans and we are not perfect but we can always recheck our bets to make sure we are doing the correct thing. I guess you realized you made a mistake after you have submitted it so, this should be your lesson that in the future make sure to double check everything because dice is a gamble one mistake can either make or break you.
743  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I just SOLD my girlfriends car to buy more ETH at sale price :) on: October 09, 2019, 05:44:41 AM
Atleast it was not his car.

He isn’t so affected buy selling the car because in the first place it’s not his, I bet his girlfriend is super mad at him but who knows maybe he will really recover it if not now then soon.  Grin Altcoins are kinda doing it great and that includes ETH, ETH being considered the second to bitcoin so I guess it's quite a reasonable investment. Just a little advise, it's okay to take big risk but don't do it if you can't afford to lose it because at the end of the day if the price won't go to the direction you wanted then you still have something left for you.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many times have you gone against majority on: October 09, 2019, 05:13:01 AM
Very rare to did this to me because bets against majority very risky although the odds for underdog teams usually high but once time i have good experience for this on semifinal match of champion league last season Liverpool vs Barcelona for second leg that everything just like mission impossible because 4 goals is very difficult for Liverpool but i don't know why i'm so confident bets for them although almost every people don't dare to do so but eventually the results makes me smile widely because Liverpool can through the match with 4 goals difference
The best way mate is to always go with instinct because at the end of the day it's always a risk on both ends and there's no assurance that following the crowd and acting on their opinion will save one from eventually losing. I think one of the reasons many go with majority or listens to other persons opinions is because of fear and not until we learn to overcome this, we would always be coward gamblers.

It takes only those who are willing to make loses to make much profits in gambling. I can't begin to mention the countless times I made up my mind to go against the crowd especially during sport betting and I can tell that it's indeed rewarding.

Instinct and stats I guess should be hand in hand because if you only follow your instinct but the teams performance isn’t good then your bet will only be put in vain. For me it doesn’t matter of it’s the majority or not so long as I can see that they have a chance then i’ll go with, regardless if most people say it’s an underdog but the performances can stand a chance to others then i’ll risk it. Betting is also a gamble but it’s is indeed more rewarding on betting in an underdog and then later won because of it.

Scam can be easily identified by simply researching on the project you are offered with. Most scams offer very promising returns or relatively high returns which is too good to be true. If anyone will offer you to invest in something that doesn’t need more work or effort but can give high returns then think twice that must be a scam. Another thing, if someone emails so to do this and that please always verify if because our technology in advancing and scammers are very skilled that they can get your personal information by you simply clicking a link.
746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What are the dangers inside cryptocurrency investing on: October 07, 2019, 02:15:01 PM
Cryptocurrency is a very good investment but it include big risk that is  why when you invest in bitcoin only invest the amount you are willing to lost and I would suggest you don't use all your life saving investing because the market is very unpredictable and not all the time the price is high.
In my case, the money that I use to invest in cryptocurrency is my spare money and I also use it to do trading and if I will have profits in trading I will set aside what I invested and then use the remainder to invest more in cryptocurrency.
747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will crypto really go to zero? on: October 07, 2019, 07:51:03 AM
We can't really say for now if crypto will instead go back to zero or not, crypto currency these days are so popular and we can see an increase in the number of people who knows or is using cryptocurrency. Bitcoin has been around for 10 years and there os a possibility it will stay even longer but there is also a possibility that perhaps in the future someone will take over bitcoin and will be gone in one go, thus, it is important that we have to manage our resources correctly and make the most out of what we have today because we don't in the future it will be gone.
As what they say change is the only thing that is constant so must be ready for whatever change it will have and also nothing last forever so be smart in handling your assets.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The secret of gambling? on: October 07, 2019, 05:24:22 AM
For me the true winners in gambling are those who are not addicted to gambling, those people who have strong self control that they know when to stop and when to move on. Gambling can give us big money but it is very risky, and if you don't have self control then gambling will consume you and will only result to big big losses.
The very secret that I can consider in gambling is self control, don't let your emotions and greed control you.
749  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto at Risk Due to Malware on: October 06, 2019, 05:09:07 PM
Scammers just can’t get their hands off other peoples coins thus they continue to create malware to rip people off. These scams are not new to everyone of use thus, we should know better, with all types of scam going on all over the world we should be very careful most especially if we are dealing with our coins, if we have to double check every detail then do it, we should live by the famous saying “Prevention is better than cure”, it is a way better to do all the things that can prevent us from getting scammed instead of being lenient and later on regret it.
750  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading without losses? on: October 06, 2019, 04:43:53 PM
I'm interest in trading and I want to know more about it. So please give me your valuable ideas and opinions. As a beginner I would like to know that Is there any special ways to do trading without losses or in a manner which minimize the losses. Not only that please tell me Is it possible to start trading with a small amount of money at the beginning.
Hope you will help me.
Thank you. Smiley Smiley

Trading without no loss? How do you expect it i don't know. Because also experienced traders cannot be 100% surety without no loss in trading but they're must be able to minimize the loss. Actually, there are no special ways or tools which are helping to make no loss trade. But as a beginner you start with a small amount just for practices. Paid signals sometimes working in specific exchange so if you want than try it.            

Trading without losses is impossible, even experienced traders or let say professional traders can lose from time to time most especially in the cryptocurrency market. We already know that trading can be considered a gamble because no matter how good you are at reading the chart, not all the time that the market will go as you planned there are times that the market will give you a surprise scenario that you didn’t expect that will happen. In trading, losses are inevitable, what is important is that deal with it accordingly and make sure that you learned from it.
751  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you think majority of the people heard or read Bitcoin one time or another on: October 06, 2019, 04:23:13 PM
Bitcoin has come along way we have seen massive adoption and so many videos, news, and articles about websites and many people have invested and are now using Bitcoin do you think after ten years majority of people around the world have heard or read Bitcoin one time or another?

Definitely, our technology is advancing and nowadays people use smartphones to watch videos, and surf the internet and with many bitcoin enthusiast using social media to increase awareness with bitcoin, it is possible that it will reach to millions of people who haven’t known bitcoin. Social media now is like part of every people lives that is why I strongly believe that in the span of 10 years majority of the people will know bitcoin and probably invest in bitcoin as well.
752  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do You Compare Your Trading ideas with others ? on: October 05, 2019, 02:32:28 PM
I do compare my trading ideas with others for me to check whether i'm doing it correctly and all by comparing your ideas to others will help you learn essential things that you can use to make your ideas or strategies better. For me comparing your ideas does not really imply that you are weak or something but it is a way for a trader to weigh which strategy is better and also know whether you have to correct something from your ideas.
Trading is a bit complicated most especially if you are new and I think checking on other people's idea is a best thing to do to learn and become successful in trading.
753  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 6 ways to help you not be emotionally dominated when trading cryptocurrencies on: October 05, 2019, 11:51:15 AM
Isn't it all about psychology? If you do the same things with the others, in emotionaly meaning, you will be the mass who lose money. So, it is all about acting rationally and doing the opposite of the mass time to time. So, I value the hints that you have given for not acting pyschologically. I think we should let the bots to the trading and decrease the effects of human beings for trading.


It's all in the mind, whether it's trading, gambling or other things emotions are present whether we like it or not, we are humans thus it is normal that we may become a bit emotional when trading moat especially that it involves money but we must also know and bear in mind that in trading being too emotional can't help but instead it will only worsen the scenario so it is best that when trading a trader must maintain good temper and remain focus on the plan so that you can make good decisions.
Trading is easy said than done that is why it is important your ready not only financially but also emotionally to avoid unnecessary losses.
754  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Getting too emotional while trading crypto on: October 04, 2019, 03:26:09 PM
I have switched to crypto bot trading and just monitoring the process and make some adjustments from time to time. I think nowadays it is impossible to daytrade manually and stay good-tempered.


Trading for me is a very challenging job and it can get a little emotional whenever we see the price that changes almost every minute and that you really need to keep an eye on it every single time because of you don’t then tendency is you either win at the end or loss instead.
I think becoming less emotional while trading can be hard most especially that there is money involve but I would really think it can help you big time if you don’t let your emotions control you because it can only result to bad outcome. I think in trading you have to focus more on understanding how you can go around with the market.
I think, mostly traders panic in the beginning due to little knowledge of coins’ behavior and even if has some good theoretical understanding, inexperience person cannot handle tough times in practical field. With time, things get settled for him. The key to success is not to stay calm but to not give up. The most significant attribute of a successful trader is trust in his digital asset. At last, always abide by ‘buying low, selling high’ rule.
We cant deny that experience do give out some boost up on all of our doings but i can say even professional or experienced ones
do still able to get affected with that so called emotions.It cant be avoided because anytime we would possibly faced up some
scenarios that it do need up some crucial decisions either you would buy or sell.We know that we are risking money here and
it cant be avoided not to think with your own funds.
Yes, it is true that we can't avoid getting emotional when trading because there's money involve but the point is how are you dealing with emotions when gambling that will not affect your decision making and what are you doing to maintain good temper and make sure your decisions are on track because if a trader gets too excited or frustrated with the market price going down then we tend to see FOMO or panic selling of coins.
755  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dealing with cryptocurrency (in my country) isn't easy as I thought on: October 04, 2019, 01:52:27 PM
This is very unfortunate! Some Governments are anti-crypto and would exert efforts to prevent it or discourage it from its own citizens but eventually, they will reconsider it once mass adoption becomes full blown and other foreign Governments adopts it.

I suggest that if some of you can't access  this forum due to some censorship ion your country, you can try to use VPN or TOR so that it will give you more privacy and less fear from Government interventions.

Its not the government which is preventing access to the websites in this case. Turkey's government aren't the bad guys here instead its the internet providers of Turkey who are restricting access to social media and Cryptocurrency related websites. This should not be used as a anti government movement as its not the government enforcing these restrictions on the Turkish population.

Well, the government must have something to do with it because as far as I know internet providers are governed bu tules and regulations and if it is stipulated in the laws of the government not to allow access to crypto related websites then for sure no internet providers will allow it because it is against the rule. It could be that the reason internet providers not allowing access to crypto related sites it's because majority of the shareholders are government officials or anti-crypto people.

Investing in bitcoin is never a mistake because it can provide you a fortune but please know that you can’t get rich with bitcoin overnight. It is not like Ponzi scams that promise investors high returns in a short period of time. Bitcoin market is very unpredictable and it takes patience. Patience not only in understanding the advantages and disadvantages but also patience with the price trend that fluctuates almost every hour.
Bitcoin is the best long term investment for me, we may see now that it is around $8k but I know in the coming days, weeks, months or perhaps a year, it will again rise up.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will There Comes A Time That All Online Gambling Sites Are CryptoCurrency Based? on: October 03, 2019, 10:45:11 AM

Will, there comes a time that all online gambling sites will be Cryptocurrency based?
No, fiat based ones would still exist no matter what because there would be always players who do prefer on playing fiat based rather than on considering crypto.
We know that there are people who dont totally trust on how crypto works and they dont really care at all and by means of security they do highly believe on what fiat-based online casinos have the edge.

Fiat based gambling sites will still exist but we can't really say that crypto based gambling sites will not exist in the future because cryptocurrency is becoming popular nowadays and who know someone will create a gambling site that is cryptocurrency based. Also, not all people prefer using fiat in gambling sites because it is complicated unlike when you use crypto it is more secure.
People don't trust crypto because they don't understand how it works and they only believe what they hear or see and not really knowing the benefits of using cryptocurrency in gambling sites. All gambling platforms or even casinos are all the same regardless if you use cryptocurrency or fiat.
758  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Buy now or wait for Bitcoin? on: October 03, 2019, 10:26:50 AM
Bitcoin price now is at $8k and I think if you are looking for long time investment then now is the time since the bull run we are expecting is up to $22k. For me, anytime is an opportunity to buy bitcoin because we know that bitcoin will really spike up is just that we don't know exactly when.
Many spectators say it may happen before the year ends, some say it will be next year but no one knows really when so if you think you have the patience in dealing with the market then you can buy anytime regardless of the price.

Patience in the bitcoin market can make or break an investor knowing that bitcoin market is very unpredictable. And I agree that bitcoin does not only blossom in a few days, bitcoin has been around for years, 10 years to be exact and we have seen the best and worst of it thus, bitcoin is not an ordinary investment but it is indeed the future that we have in our generation.
