The introduction of technology into gambling through the creation of online gambling platforms have made it possible for lots of people to join various gambling platforms and therefore it has hindered the ability for individuals invite new members through the referral links especially on social media and other related media platforms, however asides from the referrals means of getting new customers most online casinos have come up with several other strategies to attract customers and keep most of them to continue using their platforms for instance the huge welcome bonus that some platforms advertise on various social media platforms to attract new customers and also the cashback where bettors stand a chance of claiming some percentage of their lost bets.  All these are strategies they use in attracting customers and keep them to continue patronizing their platforms, that's to tell you that even though the referrals link process might seem tough lately gambling platform owners would still have other alternatives to keep their bonus going and offer other bonuses that are customer friendly.

I agree with you @ Fivestar4everMVP and yes the rightful people that can say no bet is are the gambling platform owners because they stand more chance of winning every bet and they're more informed and have more possible strategies of ensuring that they keep their business going without going bankrupt, that's why these bookies come up with different strategies to attract more customers with huge bonuses that would convince them to sign up with their platform because they know they stand more chance of gaining than the bettors
 Another set of people I feel doesn't see any bet as a waste but a potential win are those punters that's more experience in gambling and also have good strategies in making huge profits with little losses, most of these punters are so experienced that you'll feel they're born lucky cause they have possible ways of recovering their loss even when they make huge losses, and they believe every risk they take is a potential win for them.

Wiwo you've made a very good example and I believe that in that situation 80% of guys if not 100 especially those living in an uncivilized society would see that as an opportunity to relocate to a better place and would even forget that they were  even against their sister when she wanted buying the lottery. One thing I noticed from your suggestion is that people would always be in support of something when it beneficial to them. But kick against it when they think it's of no gain to them.

 Regardless of different peoples culture or traditions that doesn't permit women to involve in certain things they feel is in proper or ill mannered due to their gender. I believe in gender equality and I also think that every has a right to their choice and shouldn't be discriminated even if it involves risk taking or not, well all thanks to technology that has made it possible for women to gamble online at the comfort of their home without being abused or discriminated

The thing is that most gamblers have become so comfortable with the addiction of gambling even when they've discovered their addiction for it, it's just like a drug addict that knows he's still have a thing for drugs but would pretend they've repented so they'll be free to go continue with their additions somewhere they can't be monitored, maybe until he's been affected very negatively by it that's when he'll realize himself and be willing to change and sometimes it might seems too late to be helped maybe in situations where it's lead him close to his death, in the case of severe gambling addiction it might not kill you directly but you might suffer a huge loss that could that could cause a high blood pressure or steal of satisfy your gambling addictions and get caught.
 Sometimes most people do not realize their addiction for it on time and might have caused alot of financial damage to them self without them even realizing how much they lost to the casinos, gambling addiction is one thing that's very easy to adapt to but very difficult to quit in some cases, it has led many youths in the 3rd class countries where there's adverse poverty rate to their early grave and recently in my neighborhood two brothers almost killed themselves because the younger one stole money meant for rent bill to go gamble in a nearby casino, that's an effect of gambling addiction and it's not easy to quit without help.

Different  people have their Different beliefs that they feel works for them whether superstitious or not, that believe is what they live by and most times it works for them, left for me I don't think that sharing my predictions with another bettor would bring me badluck because I was introduced into gambling by a friend who has some good strategies of making daily profit from sports betting, to convince me into the game he shared one of his predictions with me and it came out successful and that's what got my attention to sports betting because he was able to prove his winning ability by giving me a predictions that made me win good money on my first trial.
 However, I've also shared some games I got from him to other friends and it also came out good except for the one's who out of greed decided to include some games to the predictions I gave them, now what I'm trying to say is that everyone have the way they picture certain things and most times it might not seem right to the next person but if such things have been proven, like in a case where someone has shared his predictions severally and it turns out bad but didn't share and won he might start developing a mentally that sharing his bet brings badluck and continue with that believe, though I'm not superstitious and I don't believe in such.

It might happen and also there's a possible of it not happening, those coins you got from participating in airdrops and bounties can give you profits because of the bull market or they might just be dead coins that didn't get listed because the team abandoned it as they couldn't raise enough capital from the Presale or because thedevelopers were scammers that just ran away with investors money.
Don't depend on those bounty tokens if you want to make big profits this bull market instead invest in some good altcoins from your own pocket. Put money into coins like Arbitrum as it could be big as Polygon is and also look at some new projects that can give you profit before the bull market ends. Some old coins will do very well but they won't be bounty tokens unless they're listed on top exchanges.
And if you're investing in old tokens make sure they're still active and development are going on, on the project because if you don't do your research to make sure the project is still very active, you'll end up investing in an abandoned or dead project. Many old tokens will be delisted from exchange as we get closer to bull market that'll introduced new hot projects.

Many new projects getting launched aren't legit they're scammers taking advantage of the memecoin hype to launch fake project to scam people that'll fall for their tricks. We're about to enter the bull market season so scammers are launching memecoin to trick people that are believing they'll make a lot of profits if they invest in the new memecoin since other memecoin gave profits.
We'll likely see more increase in memecoin getting launched both the legit ones and the ones created mainly to scam investors. I'll trust only the memecoin on Binance exchange as Binance exchange won't list scam coins as that'll spoil their reputation. As we're still in bear market, they'll still low that if I buy them now I can make big profits when the bull market starts as coins are pumping.
Also it's because of the success of Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, floki and the rest of other successful memecoins that's why more meme coins are getting launched. Investors are looking for the next meme coin so they're investing in everything relating to meme coin that's why more are getting launched both the legit ones and the ones created to scam investors by scammers.

Any memecoin that comes out with the claims that they'll make all their investors rich is a scam that wants to steal their investors money and exit scam. There's nothing wrong hyping your project because of the confidence you have in the project and because memecoins need hype to do very well but as you hype don't promise your inventors an assurance of making profits.
You can hype the project of doing well but don't be specific of how much they'll make as investors will begin to see your memecoin as scams. Before anybody invest in a memecoin, they should already know that they'd taking a big risk as the memecoin can do well or become a scam. If you don't want to risk losing your money then investing in Bitcoin as it's the only safe option.
But if you invest in altcoins be ready for anything that happens and then when you invest in memecoins be prepared for the worst because that's where the highest pumps and dumps schemes happens. But that doesn't mean you can't make profits from investing in memecoin, you can make profits but you have to be smart about it and not marry any memecoin you invest into.

Altcoins are riskier and riskier investment means more possibilities of higher returns, bitcoin is an old investment while altcoins are new investment that's still hot and investors will be interested more in them. Bitcoin doesn't do any promotion but altcoins investors are always promoting their project and this mean more people will get to know about the altcoins and invest in them.
Where there's more investors that's where there'll be more profits. Altcoins are of different varieties and this means you can invest in any sector that you like. You can decide to invest in memecoin, metaverse, defi, AI etc. There are different options of investment with altcoins and that's why people like to invest in altcoins as their investment isn't limited to just one coin when investing in altcoins.
Another reason people are interested in altcoins is because when you make profits you can sell altcoins easily but if you sell your bitcoin, you're losing long term because Bitcoin will always increase in the future but altcoins can die after this current bull market because some altcoins will collapse during the bear market as they don't have enough money to pull through the bear market.

The terms and conditions of some platforms changes over time and legalised betting platform would always inform their customers about a in their ToS or before they intend making any new rules and regulations of their platform, it is very good to go through the term and conditions of a platform, read through thoroughly and see if their new changed term is suitable for you, I've heard of situations where people get carried away by huge bonuses offered by some betting platforms and then would rush to create an account with the platform without even checking their term and conditions, reading a platforms ToS I's what most bettors fail to do because they feel it same with every other onces they've come across but no, different platforms ToS might looks similar but slightly different from eachother.

 It's only those platforms that are not legalised or those cloned by hackers that would come up with strategic ways of using the ToS to defraud users of their money asides that sometimes some legalised sites involves wagering demands and other policies for withdrawals and most people that didn't go through the ToS or skipped just to claim huge offers from the site, would have this issue and put the blames on the site owners, forgetting that they're the ones who fail to read and understand the platforms terms and conditions.

I'm not really into Poker but I know a little about and I want to add that it's a wrong statement for one to say Poker  more of a game of skills than luck, in all gambling activities, whether Poker, Football betting and so fort you'll need both skills and luck, they both work together for one to be able to win, to me I'll say the skills you have in poker brings you luck and more chances of winning, but sometimes you can be very skillful but very unlucky because you keep getting bad cards that makes your chances of winning little that's why I said both skills and luck work hand in hand in poker.

 Luck plays a better role in all gambling games, and in poker you can be the best and most skillfull but if you fail to get a good hand then you might be really unlucky to lose because if your opponet has a better hand and is skilled as well then they stand more chances at winning regardless of your skills, that's why both luck and skills are very necessary to be a successful gambler

I'm not really a fan of boxing though I love Anthony Joshua and view most of his videos of YouTube, but my advise for you is that if you're beginning to like or develop interests in a particular sports the best things to do is to make research about the particular sport and find out it's rules and regulations and how it's been operated you mustn't have a dish to watch it  since you already a cell phone, it's a fight between two individuals and you got also research about their previous records and past matches  to help you make predictions, also while on your research you could check for top boxers and MMA fighters that had good records and bet on them when they're fighting with someone that's not up to their standard or have good winning records as them.
 To me I feel football is the easiest sports to bet on case it have more options to pick on, you could bet on players with highest number of goals, teams to score the highest goal, most corners kick, I'm the options for football is too numerous compared to Boxing where you can only bet based on an individuals strength, winning records and tittles.

 Irresponsible gambling have lead many people to make very big mistakes in life, gambling is not a bad thing but there are several harmful effect it could cause when people fail to apply the risk management in it, these effect are very harmful and could lead one to death, imagine losing a huge sum of money maybe the one you borrowed or money for rent to gambling, you could develop a high blood pressure and die that's why it's advised that people should be very cautious while gambling, the best way to see gambling is as a form of entertainment, not a major source of income or a place where you go double your money, because success is not 100% guaranteed, you might make profit and you might lose as well, therefore it's also wise to bet with a money you could lose without having remorse, nobody  willingly lose money but as an individual you must have a spare cash asides from the one meant for other bills, so that spare cash is the one that you should use to try out luck since gambling is a game of chance.
 Another thing is that people don't know when to quit, you'll see someone losing up to 100$ daily and making little profits in return but would continue playing and believe they'll win a jackpot someday, yes there's a probability of that happening but chances are low and before you realise you've lost more than enough money to the platform, knowing when to quit makes one a responsible gambler because it would help you to study the game and strategise on games with low risk also it would help avoid reckless spending and much loss of funds

The thing is that when the price at stake is very high, people would want to have a trial to see if they stand a chance of winning not minding the probability of winning it, they believe on the possibility of winning by luck, and situations like this would always occur especially when someone else have proved that it's possible to win from the particular event, let's say for instance I have a friend that's won or heard about someone that won a lottery a huge sum of money with just a small amount, that alone would make me one to try as well and see if there's a possibility of winning just like my friend, everyone have dreams of being rich and think of different possible ways of making their dreams a reality and there are people who are lucky enough to achieve their dreams through lottery.
 Most individuals would try their luck to see if they stand a chance of winning the huge prizes from lottery hence it's popularity, the price at stake would always attract people to have a fair trial of winning, even though the possibility is very high but there are chance that one could be lucky to win it and since there's a possibility of using a small money to win a jackpot people would always want to give it a trial thereby making lottery becoming more popular.

Investing into any cryptocurency project just because of the numbers of holders of the tokens is a wrong criteria to use in chosing a project to invest into. Firstly if you're investing in a coin that has many holders it might be already late to make big profits because it means the altcoins is already popular and the early investors has made the biggest share of the profit.
Secondly altcoins holders can be manipulated, there's no way to verify that one person doesn't have more than one address holding their tokens or the project owners didn't just do an airdrop to distribute the tokens to thousands of account as a form of marketing or to deceive investors for it to look like there are many investors interested in their projects and are holding.
Apart from cardano I have the other project you mentioned in my watch list as I'm also observing them and waiting for me to get a signal that the market wouldn't fall further for me to buy them. Don't always go for altcoins that are cheap but altcoins that has big potential to make you profit. Not all altcoins that are cheap are good, some are just dead that's why they're cheap.

Signature campaign focused just on the forum and advertisement aren't done outside of the forum but bounty campaign covers every social media sites and also signature campaign. Signature campaign must not have a limited slots, if you have the money you can open as many spots as you want. Everything depends on how much the companies is willing to spend on the campaign.
My signature campaign stake.com has allocated more money to their signature campaign than other projects on the forum, others can do the same and hire more posters to advertise for them on the forum but the results will be limited to those on the forum. Bounties will increase your presence on social media that'll help bring new investors and engagement to your project.
For a project that has so much money allocation for their marketing budget, they can do both bounty and signature campaign or instead of using tokens for the bounty campaign they can make used of bitcoin or stablecoin because it'll attract more participants that'll want to earn some money. Other project has done bitcoin paying bounties on the forum and were successful.

The government can't shutdown the cryptocurency market but lets not undermine the power of the government because the government of every country is very powerful that if they wanted to make the lifes of cryptocurency investors miserable they can do that by passing laws that'll make cryptocurency investments not to look attractive to investors.
The government's are basically attacking cryptocurrency projects because they see them as a threat to their power and the government's don't want to lose power. Cryptocurency is decentralized but the government has no power to control a decentralized currency. Cryptocurency is giving power to the CEO of project like Cz because he's the CEO of Binance exchange.
He used his power to crash the price of FTX with negative tweets targeting the operations of the exchange. The government can also make the presence of a cryptocurrency project in their country relocation which could take the job of those working in the exchange away. Government are very powerful and if they decide to increase their attack on cryptocurency, it would have very negative effects on the market.

The market isn't favoring many projects and those project getting affected are those that aren't very popular. Investors aren't investing in anyhow project because they're scared that the tokens will not survive the bear market. They're only investing in top projects for now because those project can't scam them. When this low volume altcoins will do very well will be when we'll have the altcoins bull market.
But the altcoins season is not happening next year because bitcoin first have to have it's bull market before altcoins can benefits from the market. Bounty are low volume project so they're not getting trading volume or getting listed on top exchanges that's why it looks like you're wasting your time promoting bounties. The strategy that you can use to get money from bounties is to promote as many as you can.
Then you have to hold the tokens until we get into altcoins season then wait on them to get some hype and you sell your tokens. You can't make money from bounties in bear market because people aren't investing during this periods instead they're selling. When the market is dumping investors aren't interested in new projects so you're tokens won't have those interested in buying them.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are perfect for the bull market because this two coins can give you nice profit as they'll always be among the projects that'll do good in the bull market. Bitcoin is the king of cryptocurency but the profits you can get from investing in altcoins can't be gotten from investing in Bitcoin and Ethereum because they're already having very high marketcap.
AI project will be a good trend to look at for the bull market season because the way AI has been trending throughout this year. Many companies in cryptocurency and outside cryptocurency are investing in Ai to build their bot like ChatGPT that'll assist human. When the bull market starts and more money are coming into the market, projects will have more money to fund their research.
Investing in one of this AI project that'll do very well can make you life changing money. Some AI coins has already done very well as the hype of ChatGPT made AI tokens to raise. Memecoin could be another trend that can give us good project in the bull market if we are accumulating them but we should be very careful of how we invest and not to trust only one project.

Social media verification can now be paid for so you don't have to trust every account that has the verification badge. Also scammers are hacking the account of verified business to scam people so trusting social medias channels is no longer a secured way to confirm if a business is real or not. This is  happening on all social media and not just twitter or Instagram.
We can't also trust platforms that are reviewing projects because they can be bought, project pays this platforms to give them good reviews or rating. Scammers can do everything that make their projects look genuine so they can scam many investors. The difference between a genuine project and a scam project are very small because tables can turn at any moment.
Also a project can turn into a scam at any minute because of the decisions of the owners of the project therefore you shouldn't invest everything into a project so that if it falls you don't lose everything. Most project owners are inexperienced in management so they can make mistakes that'll make investors not to trust the project again and this will make the project to fail.
