961  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Investing and trading in crypto: can make you or mar you. on: June 27, 2023, 06:11:04 PM
When people invest in crypto they aim to succeed. But many times it is seen that people on different social media after losing their investment discuss in different ways. As far as I know, any successful investor does not share his feelings on social media when he suffers a loss. I have seen my friends who trading in crypto and suffered losses by Tranding without analyzing it properly. But later they didn't develop any mentality to the contrary rather they are taking education with the aim of gaining special knowledge about investment. If you know good strategy about investing or trading in crypto then it is definitely possible to succeed. And depending on everything, later on, if you make a good investment decision, it is possible to succeed in life.
People actually don't lose money if they are trading in the spots market and not in futures or the project doesn't rug pull, they simply have the value of their money go down when they choose the wrong token or coin for investments and their money will get stuck forever if the coin doesn't manage to get back to the position where they bought it at, that's why it's important to invest only in coins that you know won't do that with your money.

Those who face such situations might hide it from others because as a part of human nature, we always hide our losses from others because we think that they will make fun of us but when we win, we share it with everyone so that we get appreciated, that is human nature.

So far I have never cheated on the casino platform I use and don't seem to have any intention of doing so. Even when someone said that there was a trick that could be used to outsmart the game, I had no intention of doing it. Not being hypocritical or anything, I just can't cheat because I feel so guilty when I do something wrong. What's more, I think that the casino platform must have been very smart to design their games, of course the chances of cheating will be very slim for the players.
Anxiety that makes us never calm when trying to cheat gambling.
I never thought that anyone would dare to cheat gambling for money or profit.
I agree with what you say that gambling sites have always been smarter than the fraudulent acts committed by gamblers.
I think that is what you called conscience. You are guilty about the thing that you did and makes you feel uneasy. You wish you never did it but I think this only happens to those who are not used of doing it but for those people who live to cheat, they will never feel any negative emotion right after they did it. They will only be glad and celebrate once their attempts are successful. Why you never thought a cheating can happen?

Are you not reading the news, forum post and other sources where they talk about this matter? Money is too powerful and for the many, they can do anything only to obtain it even if it's wrong. No matter how smart you think the gambling site is, a good cheater can still bypass them.

There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?
Less risky would be futures trading because skills can be applied here however skills can also be applied in some gambling games. The only difference is trading can be stressful while gambling is fun as long as you won't mind losing because the chance for it to occur is always there.

When it comes to the learning curve, I believe gambling is easier while futures trading isn't. In terms of earning capabilities, gambling had a better odds, I mean we can earn large amount on here quickly if we get lucky than in futures trading. Overall, I think I will be able to do both but I will mostly do futures trading and I will only play gambling on my break time to release the stress that build up in doing futures trading.

Gambling sites have now started to adopt such tactics that a gambler falls into deep addiction very quickly. So now it becomes almost impossible for a gambler to quit gambling after winning a large amount. and gambling has become a habit for many and many are using it as a profession. Gambling is now considered as a legitimate game in the minds of people, which is why it is now very difficult and almost impossible to avoid gambling.
I think gambling is a deadly addiction and many people are selling their wealth because of this addiction. Some people are trying to make money by gambling.  I think if someone tries to make money by gambling, they won't last long. Because a gambler can never quit gambling.  Even if he owns a lot of money at one time, he may lose all his money by gambling and become completely destitute.
Gambling is just a kind of activity that can provide us entertainment and profit. It's not what you call an addiction but it is possible to become addicted to it, if we don't have a self control. Any types of addiction is deadly because people will forget to eat and sleep. It can also give them a depression which can lead for a gambler to end their lives immediately. No, we don't sell our wealth but we can only spend it.

Gambling can be one of the activities where we can spend our money/wealth. Maybe you mean is an addicted gambler can sell his things (ie. house, car, appliance.. ) which is true because they don't have money left in their pockets or bank accounts.
965  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin breaking out of 2 month downtrend on: June 27, 2023, 09:51:23 AM
I voted as maybe. It seems too early for bulls to run fast. But I can say that it is strong to break the 31 thousand dollar resistance, so I am approaching maybe. But there is a really motivating environment to protect your bitcoins right now. If it can close above 30-31K Usd in June, it will have solidified the price base and will be a strong support at these levels. I also worry about a new FUD coming out on the market at any moment, so I can't be too positive and hype.
I chose not sure, and I'm not too surprised that 60% are voting "yes", it seems like everyone is starting Fomo as the market has rallied for the past 2 days. For me, I don't believe there is any resistance as bitcoin is unpredictable, there is no guarantee when bitcoin close above $31k in June, it will continue to rise without falling. The positive and negative news in the market are very unexpected, we can't control them, so don't expect too much on the resistance level that technical analysis always shows. When investing, I just like to go against the crowd, when people are too Fomo and believe that bitcoin will continue to rise, I will be more careful.
I think "maybe" and "not sure" are both the same. But for me I pick yes. I'm positive that the increase will continue because I can see that the momentum is still there. If you believe that there is no more resistance then you should have joined us by picking yes. But, the resistance on $27k-$28k and $30k are already broken.

Now we are on our last mission and that is by breaking the $31k resistance level. So far, we only have 4 days left to end this month of June. It's not a long time but judging on the performance BTC is showing lately, I think it will be enough to reach $31k or even more than it. Let's just hope that no negative news will interfere to kill our excitement.
966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: June 26, 2023, 04:58:04 AM
I think we can say that Scotland is guaranteed to get out of the group.I don't think that this team, which has 4 wins in 4 games and has played a very good game, will lose easily after this.They will definitely go to the matches with more morale and feeling stronger.We are talking about a team that has defeated both Norway and Spain because we are talking about a team that has defeated both Norway and Spain.I absolutely agree.After this time, Scotland will come out of the group as the leader and Spain will finish the group in 2nd place.The other possibilities are more distant ones and I see the possibility of it being low.
Most likely we will have Scotland as topper of this group and Spain will be on second spot even predictions are not easy because things can change either way with Spain will fight back and have good wins as well but as mentioned already with 4 out of 4 wins and having good form surely give Scotland chance for the stay at the top Norway is again having disappointing end because there is no chance for them to have their spot into top two with this current form.

Scotland is currently at their best and there with 100% result and now most likely they will keep this performance and spot without any problem with most chance just Spain will create some problems, but this is not threat for their spot.
967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 25, 2023, 05:36:40 PM
casinos will limit the amount players can bet in situations where they know they can't pay them if they win. i would wonder though what sort of game are they playing because the house always win. for new casino they only have luck base games, it's the old and famous casinos where they add those poker tables and sports that can potentially take a chunk out of their money.
I think you are right when you say new casinos only have luck-based games, because I noticed this a lot of times every time a new casino came out. Usually, they only have a dice game if not crash game, then later on they slowly add more games. The final game/category that they will add will be sports. Even in a skill based games, there will still be a chance for the gambler to lose no matter how confident they are.

This is where the casino can earn more money because basically, gamblers can risk more money here than the luck-based games. A casino can bankrupt not only because most of the players can get lucky but also because they experience a problem like they get hacked or the funds were misused by the owner.
968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ambivalent attitude to gambling on: June 25, 2023, 05:02:30 PM
Reason 2: Social acceptability
Certain entertainment carries a greater degree of social acceptance compared to others. For instance, bingo is commonly regarded as harmless, while roulettes, sports betting, poker, or blackjack often carry negative associations, including addiction and irresponsible behavior.

Many people have a negative attitude to gambling, not even realizing that their passion for bingo is also gambling addiction. This case is interesting because people generally don't classify bingo or lotteries as forms of gambling.
In the country where I reside, the perception towards gambling has always been from the negative side. Gambling is influenced by the social perception. Parents caution their kids against gambling because for them no responsible person who has goals gamble and the religion is not in support of gambling. However, as modernity and technology are creeping in, kids are listening more to social media influencers and not their parents with regards to gambling particularly sports betting. It is slowly becoming acceptable as  there are conversations around  sports betting. Unfortunately, the society is unable to control underage gambling and its addiction. There are no mechanism to checkmate these...this leads us back to why there is a negative perception about gambling in my society.
Maybe you are from Islamic country because their religion doesn't allow it. Not only gambling but I heard there are so many restrictions there but I'm glad that you can still access a Bitcoin forum. I guess it shows that crypto is still legal there? Hhmm. Those parents you are talking about are wrong but actually, there are lots of professional and successful people who still plays gambling and they have more discipline than those who are not successful yet.

It can be normal for an influencer to do a promotion but they should be transparent. They shouldn't encourage scam and illegal casinos. Fair and legal casinos must have a restriction for the underage people, so don't worry.
969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is to be blamed, the gambler or the betting agent on: June 25, 2023, 04:19:15 PM

Question is:

What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?
It is extremely difficult for the betting agent to get his money soon considering the low income earnings of the gambler in this case.The gambler's only choice in this context is if he goes and get a loan from the bank which if does so this would burden even further the situation he got and put himself in.That is why gambling is not for everyone and unfortunately the only one to blame is the gambler in this case,most of the blame is on him but if the betting agent just let him play on credit without any contract or any paper or legal agreement then he is the one to have a hard time and probably not ever get his money back.
What about working on a job other than loaning money? I guess that seems a better solution. Even if it takes time for the agent to get all his money, at least he was being paid small from time to time. That must be better than not paying at all.

Indeed, gambling is not for everyone, not only because some people have a psychological problem and can easily get hooked on it or they can't accept their defeat easily but there are also people who are not on the legal age yet. I wouldn't put all the blame to the gambler but also to the agent because he let the gambler play on credit. It's a lesson for him to not allow such act anymore but if he still wants to then he can follow your advice there.

According to Saudi Arabia news Allegri is one step away from going there.

They are talking about 100m€  for 3 years.
It seems that Saudi Arabia will continue to sign the biggest transfers of this year. They talk about such a money that even players who do not have the thought of leaving the team have started to want to go to Saudi Arabia. I think they're talking about a very high contract offer for a manager Cheesy
They are trying to create a football country with state support, but I don't know if they will be able to succeed Smiley
Even doubts will be always remaining on success or failure because this all is natural but as things going, and we have huge investments from Saudi Authorities surely things looking interesting because they can do much better than expectations while they are buying the best soccer players, Coaches and technical directors as well which are going to set things as these are important for the better future of this game here in this country.

Mostly peoples were feeling mostly players which already done their best in Europe will join here but in last few days we have few best currently players which are young and have good future ahead are also joining for the huge salaries which is interesting and with this now positive changes can happen as well.
971  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Investors Confidence in Bitcoin💪 on: June 24, 2023, 03:23:59 PM
In 2018, when I heard about Bitcoin from an elder brother in the area, I became addicted to Bitcoin. Since then, I started learning about Bitcoin from that elder brother and got the opportunity to learn more details from the forum by logging into Bitcoitalk with his ID.  .
 And in view of this in 2020 I invest some of my savings in Bitcoin.
 From teaching, when Bitcoin broke past record highs at the end of 2021, I had the opportunity to make a good profit from my invested Bitcoins, but my strong belief in Bitcoins prevented me from selling Bitcoins, after which the price of Bitcoins began to decline.  Then different people tried to discourage me in different ways but it is from this forum that predictions about Bitcoin and my confidence in Bitcoin still make me come.

Hopefully during the Bitcoin Halving of 2024, Bitcoin will break all previous records and reach a peak price.
Well, though I admire your patience and belief in Bitcoin, I would say that you made a mistake by not selling when Bitcoin was at its peak because you could probably earn more profits in that way, you could sell your Bitcoins and then hold on to your stablecoins when the market started declining, and then you could buy again when the price of Bitcoin dropped below $17k and then you could hold until it reaches another all-time high.

I always advise people to do this because even though holding is profitable in the long run, one can get more profits if they trade their assets for stablecoins when the price is high and then buy again when it's low which maximizes the profits in the long run.

Luis Enrique is a manager who loves discipline and he knows how to work with players like Neymar. Therefore, he already has a telephone conversation with Neymar and said that he would like to see him in the team. You can understand him, he will now seek to keep most of the team, because it is very difficult to start all over again. PSG is a very strong team and they practically have all the players in order to achieve their goals. Leaving Messi will not be critical, because Mbappe and Neymar remain in the team. Luis Enrique is currently one of the best options that PSG could have chosen.
Right now situation is very interesting because many big stars are going to leave with Mbappé is also centre of talk with his words about he doesn't want to extend his contract and PSG management which is having huge funds wants to sell him if he not like to extend, and now we have one of the best person as coach which can change the fortune of this club with his way of play and experience as well even mostly are going few players want to stay, and now Luis Enrique is also wanting Neymar to stay here for the next season as well which is interesting.

But one thing is still certain as now we will have PSG no strong as we have them in last few years specially in Ligue 1 we will have good fight for the title and few teams will also try their best for having stay near to close PSG which will create good entertainment for the fans as well.
973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: June 22, 2023, 04:02:59 PM
I can also say that those people who see gambling as the only alternative are lazy people,who believe in living in a world of fallacy,because there is no way that anyone can survive with gambling for ten years. The house edge always win a.......
If the house edge is eliminated, gamblers can survive based on their skills. The issue is that we often generalize gambling, assuming that gambling sites always have a house edge. However, not all games have a house edge. Take sports betting, for example, where you have the option to choose from different betting odds. If you possess skills in sports and have been gambling for 10 years, it could indicate that you have been successful in your endeavors.
Casinos will go bankrupt in no time if there is no house edge, that is how this business model is profitable, otherwise, players could win a lot of money and make casinos go bankrupt. Also, skills can't be used in every gambling game, you are right that one can use their skills and experience in sports betting and might get success because there is no house edge in sports betting, and whether you will win or lose depends on the outcome of a real-life event.

So someone who doesn't want to be a victim of the house edge should probably learn sports betting and research and analyze different matches of the sport that they like and have some experience in and they might get success in that area, other than that, there is no chance for anyone to be successful because gambling isn't for that.

I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing and he's very piqued to invest in gambling sites for the apparent success that they earned. I don't think it is wrong just cause you won't invest in it lmao. Let the man have his fun. Pretty sure he'd do his homework too if he feels like he needs to and...
I am not sure about that because his tone is so unsure and he ask a lot of questions about it but that is a good approach to do if are newbie to it. We shouldn't just trust our instincts and invest because that is the common cause of a failure. BTW, he is not investing in gambling sites but it was on their stocks rather. There must be a difference between the two because investing in a gambling site seems a direct one and there are casinos who are offering it. It's called bankroll investing in other terms.

it's not something that you have to reiterate to him cause there's no way a guy who knows nothing about stocks and investing in them will ask people in this forum about investing in casino stocks. That's just stupid.
The @OP is not asking us to do the same thing but he was only asking for our help or if we already have a knowledge and experience when it comes to these matters. But there is really a stupid or better call them fraudsters who likes to encourage people even them their selves are not expert about the thing that they are promoting.

what we do know is bitcoin's total supply is just 21 million and that makes it scarce.
It's more precious than gold.
Well, even if gold isn't as scarce as Bitcoin, it still has the trust of the world and people don't believe in Bitcoin as much as they do in Gold because they know that the supply of Gold, no matter how big it is, will never get cleared from existence no matter what happens because it exists in reality which means it has a physical existence while Bitcoin is just a digital currency and a technology and we all know that technologies are not really that scarce as they are always replaceable.

We all know that there can't be any other asset to replace Gold until the existence of humanity but we all know that Bitcoin is something that can be replaced by something else in the future, something with better functionalities and properties can take its place.
976  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 22, 2023, 11:23:23 AM
It's often believed that men are more inclined to be risk-takers than women, not only in gambling but also in the investing world. The majority of investors are indeed men. Similarly, in gambling, it is true that most high-risk takers are men, while women tend to gamble more for entertainment purposes.

Furthermore, some women enjoy gambling even more when they are not using their own money.
Lol, what you said in the last statement is true for a lot of aspects in life and not only gambling, and you are right that women don't tend to risk a lot of money only to earn something that is not guaranteed at all, they would rather spend the money on something that can get them something in return whether it's a good or something else that they adore. That is how the nature of a woman is.

On the other side, men don't really care much and they risk very large amounts of money so that they might get something on top of it, and when they don't, they might regret initially but they forget about it soon enough and they will even do it again in the future for the same result.
977  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: June 21, 2023, 05:19:19 PM
That's why we need to double our security and our every source because not all the time that the internet give us the accurate and true sources because there are many scams or fake news around the internet. So we need to find those legitimate one. Especially in gambling we need to look the trusted and reliable sources in order to put our bet in our favorite team of player.
If you are searching on the chrome then you would come across many scams as they are not moderating it and only want you to pay them so it's your responsibility to check for authentication and don't fall for those fake news spreading on the internet but many times we believe in what we see but that's not right and yes we should check for it and confirm if the news is right or not.
One should simply not trust a news seen on a single resource until they believe that the source is actually genuine, otherwise, it is always recommended to look for the same news from other sources as well, if it's found and is in the same way that you've read in the first place from the first source, then you can believe that the news is correct, and if it isn't found or has different information, you shouldn't believe the news and look for more sources.

There are obviously a lot of fake information spread on the internet only to get views and visits on pages, channels, and websites and that is why we shouldn't believe everything we read on the internet, we should always verify the information that we get or read somewhere.
978  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: June 21, 2023, 03:40:15 PM
All strategies for roulette game are equal, absolutely everyone of them has the same value. If you see something like "The Best Roulette Strategies" on the web, you can read the info and follow the advises, or you can just ignore it, it doesn't matter, the result will be the same: if you are lucky - you will win, and if luck isn't on your side - you'll lose.

I can't say that the owners of the RouletteMan channel presented in the OP are scammers because I don't see they are scamming anyone for personal profit, but I can definitely say they are your time wasters. Saying that one Roulette Strategy is better than another is basically saying nonsense, and that's what they are doing on their channel with 34K unfortunate subscribers.
That's the case with all the channels that try to teach people how to gamble and how to use different strategies, because we all know that there is absolutely no strategy that can maximize one's chances of winning and minimize the losses but strategies tend to make people lose more money especially if they involve increasing the initial bet size after every loss like martingale.

I always advise people not to use any strategies in gambling because that won't make a difference at all, it's better to simply stick to your betting method and you may win something but if you try to use a strategy to try and win more or recover the losses, that will cost you more in the long run.
979  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to accept crypto payments? on: June 21, 2023, 01:40:24 PM
I am a freelancer and most of my payment I received with crypto. I think the most convenient way to accept crypto payment is using big exchange wallet because if you got some problems with the transaction their support is quick and effective, and if it's somehow it got hacked exchange should take responsibility.
Receiving a payment in the form of crypto is so cool. It is fast, anonymous and most of all, it allows us to earn extra once the value of the crypto we are getting rises. Yeah I know, it's not only about the benefits, but there is also some disadvantages, like if the price of that coin falls, we will feel that we are being underpaid for the job that we have done or we are being paid less to the products that we are selling if it's about online business.

I wouldn't say that using an exchange as a wallet is convenient because an exchange can experience an issue. If there is a loss of money, it's not always guarantee that we can be refunded. It's risky so it's better if we can just use a dedicated crypto wallet where we hold our keys.
980  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin vs XRP? on: June 21, 2023, 12:09:50 PM
Always pick the top dog of crypto and that's Bitcoin, nothing else. Bitcoin controls the majority sentiments of the crypto market if bitcoin goes up, the altcoins follows as well and vice versa. As always buy and hold BTC because it's the king of crypto though XRP is still good to hold but the majority should be bitcoin.
Why not try investing in Altcoins that will give you full returns, such as the great altcoins Ethereum and also Bnb, and if you are looking to profit from long-term investment both altcoins are good to buy, and we think you will get the returns you want. or you can choose some of the other top Altcoins for you to make as Investment assets.
Full return from our investment can be times two only. It's small and looks easy for the great altcoins that you mentioned. There is BNB but I know many people will comment negatively about it because of the anomalies Binance is being involved with. If Binance prove that they are not guilty, BNB can perform well and its potential can be higher than in Ethereum because its value is still small.

We can get the return that we want, as long as it was realistic. If we are not yet contented on Ethereum and BNB, we can move to the other top altcoins. I heard that Litecoin is getting some positive sentiments lately, so maybe we can add it in our list.
