Hmmm...  As I have been trying hard to anticipate and have been thinking about what would come next be it 'DeFi summer, NFT summer, memecoin summer or AI summer', I didn't see what was about to come next...  It's SEC summer!  Dammit.  :/

Why do the guvment always want to do us bad like this?  I got liquidated in a couple of memecoin longs.  Lol.  But no biggy, just two small bets 'just to see'.  Grin  

Stay safe out there guys, the worst could still be coming.

I think we're about to see something funny...  With the SEC going after the likes of SOL, MATIC, ADA and branding them as some sort of unlicensed securities because there was a presale, a team behind that reassures to develop and make the project better and there's also some sort of promise that investors will take some profit in their investment...  Does that mean memecoins' more organic and community centric approach make them not unlicensed securites and the SEC has nothing on them?

We could see the more serious projects get delisted in exchanges at the US while Cum Rocket is freely tradeable with no problems.  Lolol.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Yes you are right that mate and that's the reason why every casino have their rules and regulations or let say terms and condition cause if they give you a bonus then some casino have a task before you can claim it. But some of them that they required specific amount to deposit in order to have or to get that bonuses. So after signing up to or before creating an account then we must research a little bit what is that casino all about if they are trusted or not.


Yes, because there are many cases that often appear on this forum where gamblers often complain about this, most of them easily get stuck with bonuses without reading the terms and regulations, that's why looking for a good and reputable casino is important because by playing in big casinos there are usually notifications or sort of to remind gamblers to read the terms and conditions to get approved.

In other casinos, it's usually a trap, they don't put terms and conditions that sometimes people are lazy to read, but this is where the importance of gambling is not to be too passionate about doing things in a hurry, for example making a deposit without having to do casino research.

Did you know that there was a time when gambling sites and poker sites weren't really that harsh with the requirements in their welcome bonuses?  That's when something called bonus whoring came in when lots of people would go from site to site to collect bonuses and get enough money to build a nice starting bankroll.  

It costed many sites a lot of money tho as the whole thing started to get cheated and gamed with multi accounting...  Hence making the state of casino bonuses what it is today.

Inter Milan take on Manchester City in the Champions League final in a game that will define Guardiola as a manager. I am quite confident Inter Milan will win the game because as usual he will make peculiar substitutes and put out a non-regular starting team. His tactics will backfire on him again as Inter Milan will probably allow Manchester City to possess the ball but will not let them press and will also catch them on the counter-attack.

What are the latest odds for Manchester City winning the treble this season?

How confident?  I got the match ending in 2 - 1, 3 - 1 for Man City.  I don't think Guardiola will tweak his squad like he did before as there's no need to do it anymore.  It's just one fixture more and then it's over.  Those tweaks Guardiola liked to do earlier in the tourney was prolly mind games in preparation to the second leg or the reverse fixture or due to a key player have some sort of injury.

Afaik City has no injuries except for Kyle Walker who's just doubtful to play at best.  All in all the squad and the bench are in good shape.  Smiley

Unfortunately, I don't use percentages when playing gambling. If I deposit $30, I won't spend it all at once but will only bet $10 for a while, and whatever the outcome, I'll quit right away. I rarely spend a single deposit to play gambling because I will leave some balance so I can use it to play gambling another day. But sometimes, I gamble over $10 because I know I still have more balance in my betting account, so I'm okay if I somehow lose more than $10.

That's good for hobby players like most of us in the gambling section.  But if somebody wants to make a living or a side hustle out of something like poker then good bankroll management is a must.  I can't speak for anything else but in poker it's always a good idea to have 20 buy ins for the stake you play.  And that's for keeping it simple by playing TAG.  If you want to play a little looser, be more aggressive and fight for more pots then I'd say go for at least 30 buy ins.

And that's just for NLHE...  For PLO it goes higher.  For short deck another notch higher as the edges get closer and the variance go higher.
I can't imagine if someone wants to make a living from gambling as a poker player because that person must have very high poker playing skills to beat opponents. And he must also have greater capital to advance to the next round.

That's why it's better not to use a lot of money to gamble and try to finish the game before the money runs out. We don't know when we will win, but defeat can come at any time, so we have to be able to manage when we have to stop.

It was easier to do during the poker boom, around 2003 - 2008.  That was a good window of making a lot of money from poker as close to more than 90% of the online players sucked.  One could go deposit 100 bucks to a poker site and grind their way up to high stakes online within a year if they worked hard enough on their game.  2009 and beyond was when it got a bit harder as poker training site become more popular.  Everybody started to play tighter and more aggressive.  

I see the same parallels with poker and in trading crypto.  There will come a time when the easy money won't be as easy anymore.  So make as much as you can now and save up.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: June 09, 2023, 12:16:24 PM




Makhachev won because Oliveira, as usually, pushed forward openly and eat damage in order to get a better position for his BJJ attack. Oliveira started with that flying knee and instantly received a hook, then got choked. If there were Beneil on Makhachev place, he would not throw a hook, but rather step aside or block. That is the usual tactics of Beneil - avoid damage, contact and search for a tactical advantage to shoot a single leg takedown and develop further attack till submission. Beneil imho is slow on action, to cautions to make something.

^  That's prolly because one fighter accepts that he's a tad chinny and the other fighter does not.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

If I decide to bet on the match up, I'd have Oliveira to win tho.  I think their evenly matched, their also both chinny and since it's a 50 - 50 match up, I'll go for slight value with the underdog.

Anyway my lottery ticket for the week is a straight up 10 leg parlay.  Lol.  Maria Oliveria vs Belbita DGTD, Dvorak to win, Bilder vs Nelson DGTD, Aori to win, Imavov to win, Barriualt to win, Ige to win, Malott vs Fugitt DGTD, Oliveira vs Dariush DGTD and Nunes to win.  10 bucks to win around 480.  Lol.  

I didn't include Maverick vs Jasudavicius for a reason.  I think that's gonna be an upset and could finish early.  Not that confident...  Just a hunch.

1089  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin price bouncing from 200 Week MA on: June 08, 2023, 01:39:15 PM
The price still maintains the “200WMA” so far as support, which is a good thing.
Also, despite the drop that occurred yesterday due to the huge negative news in the market about Binance and Coinbase, Bitcoin quickly returned to its position above 27k$, and this is a great positive sign.

What I want to say is that what happened today and yesterday gives us two important lessons. First, all analyzes can change due to a sudden event, and the second indicates the strength of Bitcoin. It was expected that Bitcoin would fall more than that as a result of the big negative news, but it surprised everyone and returned quickly.

Don't think so.  The 200 WMA meme "as solid support" is starting to falter as shown with how BTC went down below it with ease last year and stayed below it for months.  We haven't seen it happen before.  And now it's starting to look that it's going down below it again.  :/

I don't really know what's gonna happen but if BTC is to go sideways like I guess most of you think is gonna happen then going below it and staying below it for a couple of months or more is inevitable.

Source: Transfermarkt

Messi's statement regarding this transfer is that he doesn't want to be in the same situation when he was at Barcelona two years ago and now he wants to prioritize himself and his family, therefore he has discouraged his intention to return to Barcelona or even go to the Saudi league.
I believe Messi made a very wise decision his future and career and inuding that of his family. No player has an everlasting affirmity with any club and it was just a contract between Messi and Barcelona.
There's no doubt that Barcelona has done alot for Messi and his family and I'm return Messi has done alot for Barcelona in terms of commitment and hard work. These two parties may never meet again in the football world. I am happy for Messi that he didn't make same mistake that Ronaldo made with Manchester United.
I know you guys are disappointed over his rejection by Barcelona management, Barcelona never wanted him, it was Messi that was pushing the transfer and when it failed. He wants to just leave Erupo for America.
It's obvious Messi can't play outside Barcelona, we all see how he flop in the French league and PSG chased him out.

Ronaldo, never made a mistake for chosen Manchester United over Manchester city. He performed and won games for Manchester United, he fell out with the coach, that was just the problem nothing else.

Lol.  Ronaldo was a bit more of a nuisance during his return to United because the manager had to adjust the squad's formation and strategy around him.  And no matter how hard Solksjaer and Rangnick tried, it was just not working week in, week out.  Something had to go so the managers eventually stopped placing him in the first 11.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Ronaldo fan too and loved it when he went back to United.  I was hoping City would acquire Messi that summer too.  Would have been the perfect set up for their rivalry.

I'm pretty sure the main event at 289 with women on will be bloodier and more exciting than what we just had with KKF vs Albazi.  It was really a bit boring and had no interest of watching it again.  Lol.  I'm also looking at Curtis and Oliveira for two slight underdog sports that could win.

Enjoy...

I really think the Kai Kara-France VS Amir Albazi fight was OK with me the only reason that it become boring was Kara-France didn't engage so much at the beginning of the rounds and the only time he engage in getting active was in the 4th round only the rest it was not really that bad but it is not that great either, it was just OK that is why it was a boring fight for some,



To be quite honest with you, I hadn't really watched it a lot closely as I would've wanted as I had some friends that came over and we had beer...  You know how it works.  Grin  But yeah, it was boring in a way because it felt like it didn't have any urgency that makes you really watch and get in to it.  We were just talking and standing up, getting snacks, grilling some meat, etc, etc...

So yeah, my thought process is if it didn't excite 5 drunk guys then it was boring.  Cheesy  Kidding...  Gotta watch the replay.

^  In case you hadn't noticed, all the 'x in the blockchain' talk are mostly memes that have nothing to show for.  None of the sht are actually real.  But I guess you already knew that with you being a part of the class of 2017.  Wink  I'm mostly just talking about trends and narratives in crypto and how to make a little something something from the price action caused by the said narratives.  It's not easy tho.

But yeah...  At the end of the day, it's all about BTC, ETH and XMR for me tbqh.
1094  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Looking for the Next Great 1000x on: June 07, 2023, 02:01:08 PM
I think the criteria if we want to find a coin like that is very simple. Firstly, That coin has not been listed in major exchange and the second is people haven't discussed much about the coin. When people has talked so many about that coin i think it's too late for us to invest on that coin.
That's right, for sure, look for coins that are still on Gate.io or Kucoin,
because there are lots of Altcoin Gems there and even some are also listed on Binance after that,
1000x for altcoins is indeed difficult, but if you believe and try, you will be able to get it.

Here's the thing about altcoins of they're listed at Binance.  It first starts trending up at a faster than normal pace as soon as word goes around that it's gonna be listed in Binance.  And once it does, the sell down starts happening.  So buyer beware because once it's listed in Binance, it's all over.

Aaanway, my foray with AI coins was a disaster thanks to the SEC's announcement about Binance.  Lol.  It's time to go back to memecoins while nobody is looking.  Started a watch list again for PEPE, BOB, WOJAK, TURBO, LADYS and BOBO.  They're all trending down as of now.
1095  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for June on: June 07, 2023, 01:45:41 PM
^  I'm not going to pretend that I know what's going on but it feels like there's some parallels with how the regulators handled online poker in the US when they implemented the UIGEA and basically isolated the US poker players from the  rest of the world...  It sucked for the guys in the US as their player pools shrinked from one being connected to the whole world to something limited within their state.  :/  And not all states legalized online poker.

Anyway just 10 votes after a week?  C'mon guys...  Let's get more votes in.

And I guess sideways would look like this?



After the bounce, it looks like we're going back to how it was going prior to it.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: June 07, 2023, 01:25:46 PM
^  Yup, it's not totally up to the UFC to make those rules and as you said, it's up to the athletic commisions.  And here's the kicker, it's possible that each athletic commission could allow another rule depending on the state.  But that wouldn't make sense for the UFC or Bellator or the PFL as a sports brand.  Hence we have the unified rules for MMA. 

But as for bbc's suggestion for adding knees vs a grounded opponent, I'm all for it.  It makes the matches more interesting as there'll be a huge change of how these guys fight on the mat.

So if sell in May then June = Moon?  Grin  What do you guys think?

Down before up! Was thinking this might already occur in May, a re-test of $25K or $23K, but clearly this is taking longer than expected. Hence I voted for sideways for this month.

Also the so-called "China pump" clearly never occurred beginning of June as expected and otherwise there is a short-term bearish structure of lower highs indicating further lower lows. That said, I wouldn't be surprised to see price correct to lower levels and end the month around $30K. I'm still relatively bullish long-term until proven otherwise, but right now there isn't any upside momentum.

Yup, that's the plan.  But for a while there I thought we were on our way up without testing 23k - 25k support.  After hearing that there was some shenanigans between the SEC and Binance it's now looking like we could go test support and keep testing it without an immediate bounce as first thought.  Cheesy

It's gonna be a rough one folks.  At current conditions some people could start thinking that the market cap of lots of these coins are way overvalued.  Like PEPE, for a new memecoin that went online just a couple of months ago is around 450 million USD in market cap..?  Lol.  Ain't buying any of that until it goes below 50 million market cap.  And even if you're just trading it for the potential upside, I think it's not a pump fist buy.  Just waaay too overvalued...

Lots of these alts need to go down big time.

^  Careful tho...  Ferrari's engineering break through is just right around the corner.  It's just a matter of hiring the right CTO.  They shouldn't have made Binotto the team principal imho.  They should've stuck with him as CTO no matter who is leading the team.  Maybe he would've stayed with the team for much longer without getting disillusioned.

Anyway Hamilton is giving hints that it's the realm of possibility that he'll be driving with the prancing horse one day...  The guy has a knack for feeling which team's car is about to improve.  Just like he did when he dropped McLaren for Merc.
