There is someone reading this post who still thinks that nothing can happen to coins and will go on to leave them in CEX despite the numerous cautions on this forum and in other places.
I learned the hard way when I lost access to my account on one of the CEX and had to go back and forth with the service agents to restore access.
As soon as I did, I quickly downloaded electrum wallet and moved my coins leaving only a small amount for transactions.
If you are a newbie, listen to the brilliant advice you receive here and move your coins out now.

Most gamblers must have went through this, sometimes luck appears to be your side specially in games like casino war or dice.

Today, morning I was playing casino war, I just use martingale - I know it's lame strategy. But I won most of time.

Then later at noon, luck just didn't appear to be on my side. A constant losses with win every once in a while to recoup the losses and then losing streak, all funds gone.

Now, let's be some superstitious and say, if you play only when luck appears to be on your side, would you call that a good strategy?


What I believe is that sometimes this "feeling luck" as we may call it that enables us to win is actually the state of our minds when we play.
Noticed that whenever one has a clear head and mind, the individual is able to play a game well without any intrusive thoughts.
You notice that at this point when you have no damn care of the world around you and your mind is just on the game you may start to experience some "luck". The reverse is the case. This is from personal experience.

Remember the first lesson you learned as a beginner trader? Did it come from a loss or a win?
The first lesson I learned as a beginner trader came from a loss.
A loss from a Demo trading simulation. I concur that loss will teach you a lesson when you first begin trading but losing consistently means something must be wrong somewhere.
Also, you learn a lesson or two when you win by reviewing and asking yourself why? What did I do differently or what should I keep doing?

Manchester City - Chelsea is 3-0 and almost half time. It went very fast there. It just shows how volatile team Chelsea are. Winner of the CL a few years ago. I think the score will go even higher as Chelsea now has to take built-in risks. Or maybe accept this defeat and make sure no players get injured in the 2nd half. Even if Chelsea were to change course, it would still be a hopeless mission at Manchester City. There is a basic place for Ziyech. Both teams seem to play in the strongest formation in this match.
I expected Man City to win, and they did not disappoint. I know it is not yet over yet but with the kind of game play I have seen in the first half, I doubt if Chelsea will be able to catch up. They are clearly the favorite and are dominating the game while showing off so much confidence.
Walker, Phil, Cole Palmer, and Mehrez are playing excellently well.
Looking forward to a 4-1 scoreline at the end of the game.
1265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some Gambling Slang and Terms that Beginners Should be Aware of on: January 08, 2023, 05:20:45 PM
Betting exchange caught my attention because it is my first time of seeing that betting terminology.
I am still new to betting, so I find it a little confusing because I am trying to wrap my head around how gamblers are able to bet against each other.
But all in all, this is a great list. I looked through the links provided by the OP and encountered some other betting terms such as - bet constructor, dead heat, futures bet, Handicap, longshot etc.

Qatar hosted the world cup for more than just their economy because they are a very rich nation.
They did it for their image, national pride and pride of the Arab world.
I would like to think that they were like what other nations can do we can do it better. And they sure did.
Granted hosting the world cup may have positively reflected on their economy, but we can agree that they did it to make a statement and write their names in history books. This was the best world ever.
1267  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I sell motorbikes to buy bitcoins on: January 08, 2023, 04:58:45 PM
namely selling the motorbike and the money to buy bitcoin, is it wrong or not?

I'm ready to be corrected because I have no experience in bitcoin and crypto.
This right here is a great idea.
It is better than taking out a loan to buy bitcoin. Furthermore, it will give you a good head start for you to then start to DCAing.
Infact, I think I would look around my house to find stuff that I no longer need and probably do a garage sale. I'll then take the proceeds and invest it in bitcoin. Cold storage wallet will take care of the price volatility.
1268  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: As a newbie I stay off shitcoin and it paid off, Bitcoin is the king. on: January 07, 2023, 07:41:56 AM
...Investing in bitcoin have no risk as far as I am concerned because of the trust I have for Bitcoin, and I am taking this bear market as the right time to place my investment, because its a perfect time for me.
Everything has inherent risks.
Any investment without risk is a shaddy one. Aside the volatility risks, there are those who seek to steal your coins. They are called Scammers.
And they are on the rise. So, take care when you see websites offering 10x bitcoins when you invest or even those that may ask you for personal information so as to access your rewards after performing some mundane tasks.
This is one of the risks and you can lose you bitcoin forever.


1269  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What you really think about trading bots? on: January 07, 2023, 03:34:13 AM
What do you think about trading bots in general?
I have never tried it. Once I attempted to set it up on Binance but changed my mind.
They say I should just keep up to date with the happenings, then do some settings and I could go on vacation knowing that the bots will make me money. Hell no. Maybe I am not too comfortable yet with letting a bit make trading decisions for me. I am yet to be convinced that they can make as much money as human traders can.
But to think of it, do they make losses too?
1270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If Luck Was Measured In Percentage, Rate Your Luck In 2022 From 0-100 on: January 07, 2023, 03:15:59 AM
I gambled heavily but responsibly towards the last quarter of the year largely because of the World Cup. At the beginning of tournament, I lost some money to the underdogs- especially when I thought Argentina was going win Saudi Arabia and so on.
But then as I began to understand the games better, my winning started to increase.
If I should measure my luck percentage for 2022, I would give myself a 10%.
I am still putting a plan in place for 2023.
1271  Economy / Economics / Re: The Taste of an Economic Downturn on: January 07, 2023, 03:07:55 AM
I wonder, especially in other countries, how drastic is the change in your daily life that's brought about by this economic downturn?
It takes guts to survive these times. So many people are suffering and struggling. The stress and strain it causes in family relationships shouldn't be overlooked.
Someone who was recently affected by the downsizing in his company has turned to alcohol to ease the pain as he has to deal with a nagging partner each day supplies in the home depletes with little or no hope to restock. He has taken to doing odd jobs just to make ends meet. Yet the jobs are nor regular. I hope this ends soon. 
1272  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Should your wife or husband know your seed phrase? on: January 07, 2023, 03:00:38 AM
Yes.
I tell my partner everything. And just like me, she is a crypto supporter. So I have no qualms with telling her about my seed phrase or where I have stored it.
We discuss these things almost every day at the dinner table and it feels great knowing that should anything happen to me my assets will not be lost forever. On the other hand, if you have a spouse who doesn't care about bitcoin be patient with them and teach them. Do not reveal to them your seed phrase for it will be unwise to do so.

1274  Economy / Economics / Re: Are you ready to spend crypto when market is down on: January 06, 2023, 07:10:11 AM
If one doesn't spend their crypto for purchases and wait for to spend their crypto when its price is nice, are they really considering it as a cryptocurrency or can we assume like those people are treating more like a security or investment instrument?
I am a long-term holder and I also spend bitcoin in places where it is accepted.
I see nothing wrong in treating it both as a currency and a security investment. It shouldn't be one or the other. It should be one and the other. That is what keeps it going. It is part of the dream of Satoshi to create something that wouldn't need an intermediary for transactions.

FOOTBALL INJURY UPDATE

Ahead of schedule! Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is already off crutches and showing promising progress ramping up his rehab in the gym in a boost to Mikel Arteta... less than four weeks after knee surgery ended his World Cup

To give the Arsenal supporters like me some reassuring news and hope about the return of our striker, he can now walk around with crutches, we may get to see him play again sooner than expected.

With the series of tough games Arsenal will play soon, I hope no other of our players get injured.

Yes, I am excited for Arsenal fans regarding this update. Soon enough they will get to see one of their favourite players back in action.
This soon enough is me thinking sometime in March. Despite this news, Gabriel Jesus rushed back into the field of play until he is fit.
He is going to be back stronger and dangerous.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 06, 2023, 06:52:41 AM
Chelsea have major issues. Firstly, a manager who is out of his depth, no decent striker,  an owner who is an absolute liability with the signings he is making. Honestly they’ll  face several years in the doldrums. Even at that Chelsea had a good game, but there's too much injury in the team. Manchester city's team wasn't incredible as I expected but had a lucky win.
Chelsea didn't play so bad. The thing I saw is that a lot of their balls were not on target.
I think they held Man City good. It was the substitutes that were able to create chances and score. The problem with Chelsea is that their good players are injured, and it is affecting their performance.
I hope Chelsea is able to redeem themselves in the match with City again in the coming days.
Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez were awesome in the match.
1277  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: age 47 is it too late or not to invest in bitcoin.? on: January 06, 2023, 06:39:22 AM
to ask about me, who is old, is it worth investing in bitcoin or not?

You are not old. It is not too late. As a matter of fact, you are early.
See, a lot of people say that age is just a number, and you can still unlearn the old beliefs of what you know about how the old financial system and learn how the new decentralized financial system works. How it is freedom for the people.
How it makes people their own banks and be in charge of their own money. I do not know how old your kid is right now but if he/she is already a teenager, start to let them in on what you are learning about bitcoin.
1278  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why are you here? on: January 06, 2023, 06:31:52 AM
This is sad. Most people I know who started their crypto journey without any guide either got scammed or had a close call will crypto scammers.
So, I also already armed with most of the technique's scammers use and their scams before I bought my first bitcoin. This was because my friends who were victims of scammers already filled my ears with ordeal.
I am here on bitcointalk forum because it is good to be a part of a community and there are so many benefits attached to it. Aside from being very busy, this forum is my go-to website for the latest and most concrete gist in the crypto space.
1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 05, 2023, 04:18:03 PM
Today game will be a surprise game to those that predicted for the favour of Manchester city because, Chelsea will play this game with all their strength and energy to ensure they beat Manchester city 1:0. if Chelsea play this game well, there will be victory at the end of the game because, Manchester city are getting weak in the area of midfield which will be one of the advantage Chelsea players will use to beat Manchester city to reduce their points.
I am worried for Chelsea because it is almost as if we already know how the game will end. Now that Kante and Reece are missing a bigger worry for them will be with dealing with superstar Erling Haaland.
If peradventure they lose today, Potter, Chelsea's manager should be ready to face a lot of backlashes from the fans on top of what the club is already going through. Well, I predict over 2.5 goals in this match.

Liverpool is surely struggling in this season and having not near the Real Madrid for the match but as we know Champions League is completely different league with having too many unpredictable results and unknown winners things can change here for the Liverpool as well because they are doing good job and trying to have strong strategy which helps them for having better consistency in results Jürgen Klopp is also having good chemistry about this all hopefully they will be able to have their winning combination.
You know Liverpool played so well last season nobody that no one really noticed the midfield's problems, but now that everything is falling apart, Liverpool have no alternative but to pour money into the team.
They need at least two midfielders. Keita is good but is injury prone. It is really tough for Klopp this season I just hope that he can still do something about his formation.
But first he must be willing to invest in good players to be the best.
