1421  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Brand Name Vs Site Functionality? Or Both? on: May 18, 2022, 01:43:00 PM
I see a lot of great Casinos and Sports Betting platforms here that doesn't really have great brand name but have excellent functionalities and quality designs. While some ( not so many) do have both great designs,  functionality and perfect brand name, so many majority simply don't. So, I was wondering. If I'm going to spend so much money to build a great gambling platform, why not just spend extra little more to acquire a great name? After all, nothing is greater in business than your brand equity.

What do you think? I'd like to understand the mindset of some gambling operators and start ups. What do you consider to be the most important in your gambling startup? Great name or site functionality or both?

Both are important but brand and designs are way to attract more players. It's actually part of the advertising strategy. However, people look for different aspects when it comes to picking a gambling site but as for me, it's the reputation and good service that really matters. Well-established casino sites don't focus a lot on graphics but rather on how they will keep their players' trust.

Commentary is underated in sports and commentators are not giving enough recognition for the role they play in sports.

I had this recent experience where I streamed live a recent premier league game and it had no audio, although it was expected to be an exciting game, I did not enjoy the game, not until the audio came up and i could now hear the commentary.

Commentators add colour and enhance our viewing experience, they are well informed about the sport and the teams in contest, and give real time updates on a live game that can even make someone new to a sport pick interest. Without commentary and sports commentators, some sporting games will be entirely very unexciting and eventually boring to watch.

Can you enjoy your sports viewing experience without commentary and  commentators?


I actually find commentators helpful for us to understand everything about the game especially if we miss a single part of it due to some reason. They also give life to the entire game and make it more exciting. Some people might find them annoying but they actually contribute to the whole game and affects the emotions of the audience. They also help especially the bettors decide on where to bet because they're vocal about each player's strategies and abilities.
1423  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your epic fail experience in gambling on: May 17, 2022, 02:29:27 PM
I have many epic fail moments in my gambling experience that I want to share. Some of them is the reason why I keep playing while some are the experience that makes me quit on gambling for more than a year. Let me start with my first epic fail experience when I was addicted on dice way back 2016.

I'm a regular player on Primedice that time and I manage to grow my balance from 0.1BTC to 4BTC within a week of non-stop manual playing using common martingale strategy. I was very happy at that time until I watch some random video on youtube showing tutorial to do automated betting with his setup. I was interested to follow his setup since he shows how much he won. I try it by myself using small bets until I forgot my auto bet running overnight, I was in shocked that balance got zero after hitting more than 30's red streak and all my BTC that I earned for a week is already gone overnight just because I follow some random guy trick while my strategy is working at that time.

After that, I conclude that personally I was so easy to convinced and I didn't care about the risk of what I'm entering when I was happy in my profit. I was not contented on my profit and tiring way that's why I seek some alternative way that make my gambling experience more hassle free. There's no easy formula on gambling to become successful.


Whats' your epic fail experience in gambling?
Let's see your conclusion and re-evaluate your decision making after the epic fail to experience.



We almost have the same epic gambling experience. When I was starting in gambling, I was also doing manual betting but a friend shared his autobet strategy which I applied due to my curiosity and I was amused at first because I got almost green streaks and I thought that it will continue even if I won't look after it. After hours of running errands, I also forgot that I was on auto bet mode and to my surprise, I got zero balance because of the losing streak. From then on, I realized that auto bet couldn't work for us for a long period.
1424  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: BTC Holding or Using ? on: May 15, 2022, 08:27:31 PM
We all know about BTC Holding and we all encourage it, and on the other hand we are also happy when we see someone buying a car with BTC. My point is, if we hold btc all the time, where is our profit if it is not used, and if it is just holding without using, how will its value increase? And why are we happy when we see someone buy something from BTC?  This issue has been circulating in my mind for a long time, what do you think about it?

Bitcoin is really worth holding as an investment, especially during the bearish market. However, there are some cases and situations where we got no choice but to use it. We tend to use Bitcoin in emergency and unexpected situations but I see no problem with that. Bitcoin is known to be a life saver so whatever our purpose of having it would be fine.
1425  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: 8 Suicides Have Been Confirmed Because of the $Luna Crash. Why did Luna crash? on: May 15, 2022, 04:17:46 PM
It's heartbreaking to hear that there were lives that ended because of a certain coin. We should take this news as a lesson to just invest what we can only afford to lose and never to put all our eggs in one basket. Some people have risked their life savings and even borrowed huge money just to invest with Luna which was a wrong move. However, it already happened but for those who are hopeless about their losses, ending our lives isn't the answer because good things still come.
1426  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoins and Influential Social Networks on: May 15, 2022, 03:33:12 PM
The social media platform is a huge community that has an impact on Bitcoin and other altcoins. It could influence and affect the trust of people negatively or positively depending on the discussions and threads that are on-trend. Other personalities usually use social media platforms to shill and boost the coin of their choice which I think is also an effective strategy.
1427  Economy / Economics / Re: Taking loan during high inflation? on: May 15, 2022, 12:13:59 PM
Today I had a meeting with a friend of mine who teaches economics at university.
He believes when the inflation rate rises that's profitable to take a loan even with high interest to buy other assets such as gold, bitcoin, and even real estate. On one side of this theory, we usually suggest people never invest money that they can't afford to lose and don't invest the money that does not belong to them for many reasons. These are golden tips and useful in any market.
But the question is what if you do not own enough money for investing? can you take a loan and invest?
Because if you look deeply into charts of inflation rates in most the countries you can easily understand taking loans even with high interests could be useful and profitable.
Personally, I don't suggest doing this because using other people's money will put me under stress and this can have negative effects on my decisions. What do you think?

Loaning or borrowing money for investment will never be a wise idea. In some cases, it would work but it isn't advisable since it will be too risky especially if you'll invest it in something without any assurance of good profit in time. It will be wiser to save and invest in your funds so you won't have a huge responsibility incase your investment won't be successful.
1428  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will LUNA be recovered ever? on: May 15, 2022, 11:56:50 AM
I have a doubt luna will never see the high price again because with too much loses future investors will think twice if they gamble on this project. It was delisted on binance and that alone the risk is high though it was listed back again yet it has the hard time recovering. Let's see what's gonna be the next plans and moves of the team to try to save this project.

Luna also has a huge supply this time and those who invested during the dip are just taking profit from every small recovery. I don't think LUNA would reach the same high peak again because lots of investors have lost their interest on it and they felt disappointed with what happened. However, it's still an opportunity for others to buy during the dip then they will sell it when the market recovers.
1429  Economy / Gambling / Re: How do you advertise your casino? on: May 15, 2022, 11:42:24 AM
<snip>
I am not sure why everyone only speaks about bounty managers and not about other marketing person. There are a lots of forums and website which are good for marketing like insta, fb, youtube, tiktok which are good for marketing as well.. But no-one is mentioning that.
Instagram, Facebook (Meta now), and Tiktok are some social media platforms that really aren't that worth advertising a gambling platform. These websites' market is very general. I mean, the target market over these platforms for gambling is really low. That is why, I see it not worth advertising at when it comes to gambling marketing. Better go on twitter, gambling forums, and crypto forums.

Not all social media platforms would be an effective way to advertise any casino site since not all of their users arent into gambling. I would prefer gambling-related platforms and forums which discuss things about gambling that also have a huge number of target players. A good advertising strategy has a huge positive impact on the site and could also help in building up a good reputation.
1430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: May 15, 2022, 10:27:52 AM
I hope that Belgium can win the world cup this year, with many star players in their team and almost have skills that are evenly distributed in all lines, it is not impossible for Belgium to become champions in 2022.

I certainly agree with this and I've also noticed the dedication of their star players this season. There are lots of teams who are this year's favorite but Belgium's performance is also something to look forward to. Portugal and Spain are also favorites but all of them to be honest, deserve a good win.
1431  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who’s itching to buy? on: May 14, 2022, 04:45:59 PM
Hi guys. I'm newbie here. Wanted to hear your opinions.

These red candles got me wanting to itch my itch. I know about DCA. I think little more of a drop and we reverse. Just trying to not get too eager. I'm trying to catch this bitcoin bounce by setting two additional limit orders to open a long position on wowswap exchange.
 
What do you think about the current bear run, will it turn around? What price for bitcoin do you track? Will we get on the big green planes?
 
I'm thinking of buying a few more alts from the top 100. With everything being down in the last month they seem to be safer plays.


It would be a good time to buy but you have to be skeptical. Every bearish market situation is an opportunity to buy but you have to research the coins that you're planning to pick. Know the potential of your coin of choice and be emotionally prepared for the possibilities. If I were you, I would suggest that you'll buy coins with a good foundation.
1432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When is ever the right time. on: May 14, 2022, 04:21:30 PM
I planned to buy some altcoins now that we are in a bear market but someone I knew is telling me not to, that it's possible more dumps will take place, my question is how will I know when it's the right time to buy coins?

Investing during the bearish market isn't just about the perfect timing because some coins couldn't recover. Researching still matters. It's important if we'll know the potential of the coin that we're investing with as well as its history. It's not just about taking advantage of the market situation but also doing a wise buying.

➡️No registration, no pre-recharge, no need to apply for withdrawal
Am I getting this just right! No to registration, pre-chrages nor applying for withdrawal. Am just curious on what are we to do on the site then, can't say I've tried but it's surprising seeing these listed out to be the likely scenario on the project. You might want to elaborate on this because, it sounds a bit sketchy to me.
I don't see the promotion strategy to be of its best as, it doesn't point out in one look what the site or project is about. One has to go all the way before one could get acquinted with what is obtainable. At least a tip of the iceberg would have been nice.

Exactly my thoughts as well, I don’t quite get the gist of this promotion. I hope OP could clarify and elaborate on this one so we could have a proper idea of what to expect and what this site is exactly offering and how to deal with such.

I also have the same questions. I think Op still have to promote his site clearly because this looks shady and will only create a negative impression which will affect the whole reputation of the site that they're trying to build up. Op should've included complete information about it.
1434  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Holy Crap ! Terra is gone to zero ?!?! on: May 14, 2022, 03:18:04 PM
Now the blockchain is stopped, transactions are blocked. This is the right decision, because in a few days we would have over 100 billion LUNA coins.The founders have very big problems, they will be sued and criminal cases will be brought against them, so negotiations are underway now.The LUNA team agrees to all the conditions of large funds, because they have no choice.

     It's really sad seeing TerraLuna end up like this. I personally see Luna as a great project ever since I heard of it late 2019. And since then I have been accumulating little by little. And despite selling last year on november, I was looking for better entries. I never expected that this would happen. It originally had good utility. Maybe the devs are to blame for some bad decisions but yeah, big investors are to blame as well for pulling out. But then again, these investors have every right to pull out and protect their money. No one really wanted this to happen but there's nothing to be done about it anymore, I don't even think luna will be able to get up from this, sigh.

Lucky are those who bought yesterday at its lowest price and sold it after it pumped early today. They became instant millionaires. Those who took the highest risk took high rewards but my heart breaks for those who have lost most of their funds on it. I'm not sure if it would still recover to reach at least 1$ in the future but I hope those who have lost would move on and recover in other ways.
1435  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Careful! on: May 14, 2022, 02:54:42 PM
Careful yous guys. In this deep bear market there will be new altcoins that will be spreading around claiming they are one of the coins that were hit by the dump and might be a good decision to invest with because of their cheap price.

Just a bit of advise from a long time crypto investor. It happened to me and became a victim of it so might as well share it with you before you make wrong decisions.

This is actually happening these days where people are buying different altcoins which are just being hyped without even doing research. Not because it's on trend it doesn't mean that a coin has the potential to reach a good price when the market recovers. Doing research will always be a good way for you to determine if the coin of your choice is worth buying this dip.
1436  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Women's participation into cryptospace - Increased? on: May 14, 2022, 02:24:41 PM
In an article read about the increasing interest among the women's to get into the digital space and educate themselves. This in particular is much about the mom's and not the girls. They find this a place where they can able to invest and leave something to their kids. Most of these mom's were interested in teaching their kids about the developing technology and for that some are learning it. One of the mom mentioned
Quote
My whole point was, I want to educate myself. I lived in Seattle during the dot com bubble and I had no voice or power to do anything.

Quote
The majority of mom investors interviewed by NBC News claimed that they were interested in crypto as a way to “meaningfully change” the financial security of their families

More and More Moms Are Embracing Crypto to Help Their Families Get Richer

Cryptocurrency is an opportunity being seen especially by moms who are looking for ways to earn. Most women nowadays would love to make their own money than to rely on their husbands. It could really make their family's financial status and as we all know, women are eager to learn new things even online stuff. Mothers also want to assure the future of their kids so crypto investment is the wisest idea for them to leave something in the future. Cryptocurrency investment on the other hand is for everyone regardless of their gender.
1437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [BOXING] George Kambosos vs Devin Haney - Undisputed Lightweight Title - June 5 on: May 14, 2022, 02:01:52 PM
During their press con, Haney said that he will take out Kambosos best attributes, so I don't know how he will do that.

And I agree, maybe this is just a strategy for Haney to misled George, showing his speed and his footwork but it maybe different when they square in the ring. So if that happens, we will see if Kambosos can adjust to what Haney will offer to him.

There is indeed a very high chance that Haney will use and have another strategy on the day of their fight because I'm not seeing any other purpose why Haney's camp shows his training in media other than boasting his speed but we know that Haney is not like that. So, I'm convinced that they are going to use some other tricks to make sure Kambosos will lose as they are misleading the opposite camp.

I cannot think of any new strategies for Haney. He will be there and will fight smart, hit and not get hit. This is the reason why he is the favorite in this fight. He is far more skillful than George Kambosos. I cannot imagine Devin Haney capable of hurting Kambosos. Although he seems to be the stronger ang muscular man, chances are he will not try to brawl with Kambosos. Haney's knockout ratio is a bit misleading because he never scored a knockout or correct me if I am wrong but I haven't seen Hany scored a knock down or at least hurt a opponent since he was elevated as the WBC champion. Meanwhile, Kambosos knockout record is underrated, he was the one scoring knockdowns against former world champions Teofimo Lopez and Mickey Bey.

Bet now for Kambosos. Grin   

Kambosos has been consistent on his fights. Haney will surely have a hard time beating Kambosos this time because he seems too prepared for this. Im not underestimating Haney but I think he needs to have a deep training on how to counter Kambosos' aggressiveness in the ring.
1438  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: PH banned online cockfighting - Worst gambling-related cases recorded! on: May 13, 2022, 04:37:52 PM
Was it only in PH? I was curious if there is an online cockfighting that accepted cryptocurrency, I think restriction of this kind of matches should be worldwide I think most of the rooster are dead after fighting. I mean this is way more bad than horse racing since people let the rooster fight to death.
I can’t see any countries that also have online cockfighting but I see other countries that also legalize cockfighting which is still the same in concept, the chance of losing life of the Rooster are fast here but still in the Philippines it is still legal. Well, we can’t stop this because there’s a huge money here and for sure the next administration will not stop this as well, billionaires will surely get mad if ever.
Online cockfighting organizers are already advised to stop their operation, I’m not sure if there’s already a paper about this one but it looks like it is already implemented and you can only see illegal site right now that still operate, better not to bet with them again because of the risk and yeah, upon seeing the actual cockfighting, I believe it should be stopped as soon as possible. My worst experience with the live cockfighting is that, bettors are also fighting with each other, which put many lives at a bigger risk, this is also my reason why I’m afraid to watch the live fight, you can’t trust anyone there.

The biggest online cock fighting company in the Philippines are being shady when almost 40 people went missing in their arena. They said that there's no CCTV camera in the area but there are lots of witnesses who are relating the exact thing that happened that day. That crime is just one of the reasons why online cock fighting is being banned in the said country. There are hidden crimes due to gambling issues that affect or even take lives and according to witnesses, huge syndicate is involved.
1439  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you want to live a peaceful life? Without drama? Then HODL and enjoy the ride on: May 13, 2022, 04:16:32 PM
I've never sold a satoshi since 2013, actually never sold any BTC. I've seen all the ups and downs, seen them all. I'm very relaxed now because I just HODL and enjoy the ride. Let the weak hands lose, the strong hands will remain. Go on and sell your BTC to the big boys. One day BTC will go in the $xxx,xxx zone and many of you will regret selling. Dips are temporary and BTC will still exist in 2140, remember that, it cannot just disappear. Go on, make the rich guys richer. They will be happy to buy it from you, but remember, once you give it away it's gone.

Actually I cannot believe a new opportunity to buy BTC for cheap has been given to everyone. It could be among the last who knows!

If I've known Bitcoin since 2013, I'm sure that I've already sold some of it during the first bull run last 2017. I admire your patience and to be honest, not everyone has the courage to wait for almost a decade. In some cases, holding and being patient is the key to success. I'm sure that if Bitcoin would strike higher, your patience will pay off.

Only a small number of people can get such a big win while others suffer losses. Even if he is very familiar with certain sports or he is familiar with many sports, it is not necessarily that he can win all of them because it also requires luck that will not come together. However, the win definitely changed his life into someone who has a lot of money and hopefully he can put his winnings to good use.
Luck is major factor that plays a vital role in deciding how much you win or even don't win anything at all so for sure there are some cases where players are having that luck charm which made these big wins possible with such small amounts.How he use depends on him and we can only hope for our luck to shine also but play in limits.
I think luck is the only factor which makes a person rich in gambling. Otherwise some unlucky person like me when tries to gamble would get a hard slap on the face and will come out from casino crying and losing.
Now after a lots of attempt - I would not dare to gamble. Because in the end I know I will lose. My luck is so hard on me.

Luck might be the reason why this player has won such an amount. I hope everyone could be that lucky but there are times that we're unlucky and destined to lose. If gambling luck would be for everyone then the powerhouse will lose everything. I guess it would be better if lucky gamblers would share their strategy.
