I think we should separate investment money and gambling money, whether you gamble with Altcoin, Bitcoin or USD, at that moment you participate in gambling, it is just money. It would be great if we could put all our money into investing in Bitcoin and the crypto market in the past 2 years, the growth rate is quite large. However, there are amounts of money that belong to entertainment or expenses, and we do not need to count all the gains or losses if we use that money into investing. That is the amount of money that is considered lost to serve our life already.
Whether it's gambling or investments, money directed for expenses shouldn't be used in any of these because you can lose the money in no time if you are gambling with it, and you can get your money stuck in an investment if you are investing in cryptocurrencies because their values aren't stable and always going up and if the asset you invest the money in goes down, you have your capital stuck in it.

So all in all, it's not a wise decision to use money for your expenses in any of these areas and you should have different budgets for each if you know you can afford to do that, and if you can't afford to do that, you should have your priorities clear. Expenses are important and can't be skipped, you will need to either skip your gambling activities or investments if you know you don't have enough money for both.

Some time ago, I read somewhere how Stake paid winners $150,000 without any demand for KYC which shows how well the company pays attention to privacy, and the high available liquidity to pay customers.
Gone are the days when one could deposit, gamble, and withdraw any amount in a cryptocurrency gambling platform without having to comply with AML and KYC rules because there was nothing of such kind back in the day. When we talk about privacy, reputable platforms always care about the privacy of their customers no matter what, some people think that the platform asking for KYC is hindering their privacy, but the reality is, that they are compelled to do that.

If a centralized platform doesn't comply with rules and regulations imposed by the authorities, they have the fear of their licenses getting cancelled and having their platforms closed down because they need to comply with the regulations, it's more of a necessity for them.
283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024 on: March 17, 2024, 05:39:52 PM
Manchester United vs Liverpool in the FA Cup conceded a goal in 10 minutes, Liverpool have not been able to equalize the game so far. Although today's match is full of excitement and enough attacking moves between the two teams neither team has scored yet but Manchester United are still only one goal ahead. In today's quarter final match, both the teams are showing their best performances and attacking a lot. But Liverpool are trying hard to win the match but it is not possible even though Manchester United are more attacking today. Although most of the time Liverpool are in possession of the ball, according to the target short, Manchester United has targeted the goalkeeper the most. However, it is difficult to say which team will win today's match, but since Manchester United is ahead, the turn of the game may turn a little more after halftime.
Manchester United take early lead through McTominay but sadly again they fail to keep things and now as we are having end of the first half Liverpool is in total control first goal disallow, and then we have two more goals from the Mac Allister and Mohammad Salah which is clearly signalling they are not going to give any chance to Manchester United for having anything positive in this season.

As we have aggressive approach from the visitors things are clearly indicating we are going to have another win for the Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool which is going to be ending this season with their best ever performance and Manchester United's is still going to live with their miserable performance and ending this season without having anything positive after ending fourth in last season.
284  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for March on: March 17, 2024, 03:21:21 PM
I mean April seems to be a better month to expect a huge rise. It is clear that March isn't half bad in some years, but has some bad years too but April usually had good years, doesn't mean it never had bad years but it mostly didn't, it was mostly good time to invest.

So I am guessing, even though we may see a correction in march, it could also recover and go beyond at April as well. So many years when price went lower at March and yet recovered and went so much higher during April. I am not saying do this, but expecting the price to fall this month, then buy, and hold all through April, and if possible maybe even May, could make you some profit. I could also be wrong and maybe you will make a loss, there is no guarantee at all.
285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: March 17, 2024, 02:01:32 PM
we are not surprised if Saudi Pro League clubs continue to hunt for European top players at least until 2030 in accordance with their vision Saudi Vision 2030 and they have prepared the budget. Currently almost all leagues will head to the end of the season well usually the clubs in this league will hunt for new players and I think Moh Salah will come next season, he has a reason to leave Liverpool because Klopp will also leave/retire it's just that we don't know which club will bring it.

This indication can be seen when the Saudi Pro League applies new rules about non Saudi players, this season only 8 non -Saudi players can play in the match but the next season will add 2 players so a total of 10 non -Suadi players can play in a match this means that at least one local player must be in the match, imagine from 11 players only one local player.
Yeah, here we have to praise Saudi League management as they have done good work before jumping into this business and also having good influence in few soccer leagues as well which are helping them for achieving their targets even this all is long term planning and their start is surely as they wanted but few things still are going to be problem for them first quality of the game and second conditions which are not as we have in Europe and also needed for the best game but as they are investing most chances they will be able to achieve their targets which are having change of tradition here in this region.

Now coming transfer window is also going to have good changes with few top players are already fixed to join, and we will have improvement in quality and also teams will be able to compete with top level teams which will surely increase their presence and also their fan base which is the most important thing for them in these early years.
286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 17, 2024, 12:45:42 PM
I never expect Girona to lose to Getafe today. The most disapointing part is that they lose without even a goal. After watching today's match, I thought within myself that 'how have they manage to sit on the second position on the league table?'. Well, Girona early season performance was good but seems they are a bit weak this day as they keep performing below expectations.
While we are having now near the end of this season all teams are giving their best for having something good and having better spot at the end of this season so Girona this decline is surely giving all view they are lack of experience even things are still under control, and they can keep going for the top four, but they needed to be regrouped themselves in first half of the season they have 1 lost in 19 games and now in last 10 games they suffered four defeats with all after lost against Real Madrid which is miserable but still can bring change.

Their home performance is good, and they are doing good job which is helping them for staying at the second spot, but their away form is surely at their worst this defeat is surely wake-up call for them before it's gone more terrible they need to be fight back and have their best for good end of this season.

Liverpool are one of the favorites in the Europa League this season. If Liverpool's performance was similar to last season then maybe Liverpool would not be so much favorite in Europa League but they have improved their performance this season compared to last season which is why they have a good chance to win Europa League title this season. Liverpool are performing in the Europa League as well as in the English Premier League, but the other teams that have qualified for the Europa League are not able to perform as well. Since Liverpool are ahead of all the other teams in terms of performance, if Liverpool win the Europa League title for the first time this season, it will surely help them to forget the sorrow of not being able to qualify for the Champions League.
After watching Liverpool performance in last few games, now mostly are thinking they are hot favourite for the win in this competition because their lethal attack is giving them all which needed for the win and their player's depth is also amazing specially as their few top players are missing due to injuries but still things are going into their favour and their bench power is also having great chemistry which is their best weapon for the leading from the front now we are heading for the quarterfinals which are surely never been easy to predict because things are completely on same level and all teams are having good performance so now they are having spots into his round.

Liverpool is currently fighting for the three titles with one is already won, so things like these making their season so astonishing because they are trying to give best farewell to their outgoing coach this could be surely historic end of their history as well with as much they can grab from this.
288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 17, 2024, 07:18:24 AM
Napoli has been showing better performance in recent times. At least better compared to what they had been doing in this season. So there is hope for Napoli in this match. But the thing is, I think this match is going to be the one that breaks the lossless streak for Napoli. Inter Milan is performing really well and far better compared to Napoli. So if in this match they actually even drop points, let alone lose, it is going to be surprising.

I personally do not think that not playing in the Champions League competition anymore is going to have a big difference in their performance. Since both of them were not doing anything incredible in the Champions League anyway
There is no doubt Napoli is now improving and also giving good but still I have no chance for them to beat Inter Milan with they are still at their best and never lost against them in last four games while Napoli win title as well in this game we will have another defeat for them, and they could be able to stay at their same spot for some more weeks difference of points are increasing and chances are also going to end for them to have any development.

Inter Milan is now clearly having 16 points difference and their exit from the Champions League is surely surprising, but they will keep this positive and try again with better quality in next season, but now this season is surely going to be terrible for the Serie A teams in Champions League with their performance was not up to mark Napoli is also now doing good as they have 9 points from their last five games which is good improvement.

I don't think that Joel Embiid will be even back in the playoff if ever the Sixers made it. So this might be also a season ending for the Sixers. Although they can extend it and go to the playoff and used it as a experienced for them, but I think they have surrendered already to that fact that without their leader, they will be having a hard time against the East.

The 76ers are currently in eighth spot in the Eastern Conference standings, meaning they still have a chance to make the play-in tournament and maybe the playoffs. The 76ers need to at least maintain their current spot in the standings, as there are optimistic rumors that Embiid could return in late March or early April.
Aside from the experience discussion that was mentioned, I do not think that they have any reason. Plus, Embiid is a great guy but they never really put anyone decent around him that stayed. They keep trying, they get a lot of players, they got Butler, they got Harden, they used to have Simmons, like they are trying to put someone next to Embiid, just like how Jokic has Murray, but they keep failing.

I honestly thought that Harden would be the one, he could actually do something and he could win with Embiid, but turns out Harden is washed and he doesn't care much anymore at all. This should be the most important part, if Embiid doesn't get better this year that's fine, but if they get no one near him, then next season will not be too different.

Liverpool got the easiest of the draws, they will not have hard time against Atalanta at all, or at least they shouldn't that's much is for sure but you never know, an underdog story could be written there since nobody really expects them to do anything like that. All in all, I am assuming that the best we could do right now would be watching the games and assuming that you are going to bet the well way.

I think Liverpool will win, the rest is not that easy but I think Milan may win, Leverkusen could still win even after the last leg, and Marseille could win too. These are all assumptions I have now, but I will need to wait a bit more before I can make my last judgement, I could be wrong and make changes on my decisions.
291  Economy / Economics / Re: When luxury becomes a necessity. on: March 16, 2024, 04:09:02 PM
There are people that are not influenced nor moved by wealth. They prefer a modest and average lifestyle to that of a wealthy and luxurious one.
But living a modest and average lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy quality goods and services. Everyone likes and appreciates quality goods and a high level of service and would go for it whenever possible.

Your topic head should read; “when quality becomes a necessity” and not luxury. Luxury isn’t really a necessity in the life of an individual.
Some rich are like that you said but for the poor, they act like they are rich. A modest and average life is not poor, so yeah, these groups can still avail a quality service because most quality service targets them and means the pricing is also average (not expensive). Quality service are so good, so yeah all love them but it's only sad that not all can afford them.

I am talking about the poor ones here but it's not a big deal to them because they are already used to the kind of living they had. I don't see anything wrong with his title, since both luxury and quality are not the same, and then both of them are not a necessity for the most of us.

With the thousands of people that are watching there, only two of them were stabbed? I think there is a personal reason for this, just like on most crimes that we heard. Still, your advice there must still be applied, as there are also crazy people who like to trip others, especially if they are not from their territory. I feel sorry for the 2 victims there. All what they want is only to unwind and go for a vacation but they didn't know that it was already their last moments.

The event organizers might also be responsible for this because they didn't inspect the people carefully if they have a deadly weapon with them. They should be penalized and they should help the victim's family in terms of finances.

Arsenal must continue to win in the future so that they can become EPL champions this season, but i'm not really sure whether they will be able to survive even though the opponents they face are quite weak.  Arsenal was scheduled to face Chelsea but the match was postponed, there are a few more matches remaining, and at the end of this month Arsenal will face Man City, this is a tough match for sure, it's not easy to beat Man City who also have a slight difference in points with Arsenal.
That's what many hope for them to do "become the EPL Champions" than to repeat what they did last season when everyone thought that the Premier League title was theirs last season because of how formidable they were, not knowing that they would leave everyone disappointed by not lifting the PL title for Manchester City to lift it.

Well, none of us can foresee whether the same thing will repeat itself "for us to put our fate in them(Arsenal) to lift the PL trophy and be left disappointed". Let them not leave us disappointed again because it won't be funny for them to miss out on lifting the PL trophy two consecutive times after showing a beautiful performance from the start of the season, towards its end they begin to decline in performance.
Arsenal surely having one of the best chance in last season, but suddenly things were gone against them, and they were not able to compete and ended with big disappointment which bring them to the second spot not in this season their start was good but mostly were not giving them any chance because their mentality and consistency were not as par requirement of the title winner but in last 10 games we have best of them which is helping them for having another good chance for the title win.

Even right now, any prediction is not easy because we have the toughest challenges coming, but their best chance is against defending champions Manchester City with their next game is going to play at the Etihad Stadium and if they are able to win then surely we can expect them for the title otherwise most chances they are going to have another failure, but experience is surely on their side for the having better future under Mikel Arteta which is doing his best.
294  Economy / Economics / Re: Why are some countries being sentimental with bitcoin and the cryptos at large? on: March 16, 2024, 10:36:53 AM
Are the government self-centered?
Are they protecting their citizens from an omen that the cryptocurrencies portrays?
Or they're just being awkward from embracing digital developments?
It's not about protecting their citizen or being embarrassed, countries that are not ready to accept cryptocurrencies and are doing their best to keep them out of their countries are thinking about long-term, and the reason for that is they know they will start losing control over their people and their financial activities if they allow them to openly use cryptocurrencies because they can't control cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin the way they control fiat currencies.

So, they are not ready to accept cryptocurrencies and allow their people to use them because they don't want to lose control, they want to keep a control over the finances and financial activities of people because that is how they keep them following them.

In the history of the uefa champions league, the most important thing a team must have to fight till the very end is experience and quality,  and if you look at this arsenal side, they have the quality but they lack experience, that's where I think Bayern Munich would use to edge them of this quarter finals encounter.

If you look at arsenal performance in the past few games in the champions league, and especially against fc Porto, they were a bit shaky, I believe that, that is what lack of experience does, when in a major tournament like the uefa champions league, so I believe that their lack of experience will cost them this game against Bayern Munich, besides Bayern Munich is not a team to underate regardless of their performance recently.
I have to be agreed with your all review partially because things are never been gone on same way even there is no doubt currently we have Arsenal with lack of experience and mentality to win in big events but still their recent performance is impressive and Bayern Munich which is already out of the Bundesliga title race are having only one chance for the trophy is Champions League, so things are surely tough for the both sides and this is going to be challenging match between these two sides with advantage for the Bayern Munich.

But any prediction is not easy because we are well aware about the nature of the Champions League where things never been work on long base sometime we have match day performance and luck as well, so Arsenal is surely going to have chance for the win and jump into next round with this could be dream season for them after years here in Champions League.

Bangladesh team played well in the first match due to which they won against Sri Lanka. However, in the second ODI match, Sri Lanka team batted very well due to which they succeeded in meeting the target of 286 runs, at this moment Sri Lanka team does not need much more runs to win. But in today's match, if the Bangladesh team can improve their bowling performance a little from the beginning, then maybe Sri Lanka could have put the team under pressure and it is possible for Bangladesh to win. But the Bangladesh team could not do a very good bowling performance in the beginning due to which the two batsmen of the Sri Lanka team formed a great partnership and scored a good score. However, the Bangladesh team put in a good bowling performance towards the end which put Sri Lanka under pressure and lost seven of their wickets. However, it was interesting to see the Sri Lankan team lose their seven wickets and win by three wickets at the moment.
Bangladesh team batted better today than the way they batted in the first match but the Bangladesh bowlers did not bowl well in today's match. You might say the opposite, the Bangladesh team bowlers were bowling very well at the beginning as a result of which they took Sri Lanka's first three wickets for 22 runs. But since then the bowlers of the Bangladesh team could not dominate the Sri Lankan batsmen like that. In today's match, all the bowlers of the Bangladesh team gave away too many runs per over, as a result of which they were defeated by Sri Lanka by three wickets in the second ODI match. Bangladesh's bowling line-up needs to improve a lot for the third ODI match.
Bangladesh batting is on improved but still they needed some more aggressive approach because on this pitch they were short of the 30 to 35 runs which make difference, and they lost this match in reply Sri Lankan were also not good because their batsmen also lost their wickets but a big fourth wicket partnership was enough for them to have win in this game and bring themselves to the level after losing their first game by big margin.

Pathum Nissanka century inning was enough to bring his team in winning position but still their all top batsmen fail to give their best which is surely problem for them because their batting is not able to perform consistently they need some improvement which is important for the win against top teams.

Having this type of logic or arguments do not really get the world to a better place, we do not need a new "system" because no matter what kind of system you build, if the people are still evil at the top, they will find a way to get to that top eventually.

We should focus on making the world a better place not with force, but with education and that only starts with politicians. In a world where people do not want to step over thousands to be better, will be a better world but even education system is built in a way that you fight with others to be at the top, that is not the point. Look at nations such as Finland, they realized long ago that they can't just battle kids against each other for better education, and they are doing much better thanks to it.

Easy to say "dont chase your loss" but in fact most gamblers are trying to recover their losses once they started a new session after loss.
On the opposite side, gamblers are trying to get more win in a new session after they make win in the previous session.
It is hard to forget our previous loss especially for frequent gambler who gamble regularly, but maybe it is not that hard for gamblers who gamble recreationally like once a month or once in few months.
I would prefer to say "gamble responsibly" in every gambling session, as long as our gambling habit will not affect our real life, doing both recovering losses and chasing more wins are not big issue.
You have a point here, as they say, it's easier said than done. We often say things that we can do in a way like they are easy to do, but just because we can do something it doesn't mean it's easy for anyone to do. Every person is built differently, with different mindsets and different ways of doing certain things, so one cannot be like the other in everything they do and there will always be differences among them no matter what they do.

When we talk about gambling, if we are responsible gamblers, we would say that it isn't that much difficult to control your emotions and don't become addicted to it but for someone who doesn't have enough self-control, it isn't easy for them to be a responsible gambler.

It is something that should be done so you know when you’re stepping out of line, but it’s not the case of what is done because people get drowned in the act if gambling that all they ever think is how to stake bigger so they make bigger. They may not even be subconsciously doing it, some people know that the habit is growing in them but the spirit of money overshadows the thought and they keep gambling anyway. 
I think that even without a proper examination, it is still possible for us to identify if we are already stepping out of the line or not by basing only on our actions. It is easy to an examination but the hard part is doing a measure to combat our complications once we are positive about it. Not all are rich to have a big capital and to stake more but this is not only the way to earn big.

We can also get them even if our capital is only small and especially if we are playing long enough which can only be achieved by betting minimal amounts, however this still can make the gambler to play frequently, so their small expenses can still add up to a bigger one.

I completely don't care if someone is happy or sad about my win.
I like to help those who want to make bets but I'm not interested in other people's judgement.
obviously never let "all" of your gaming habits be known. I never talk about gambling with people that doesn't gamble.
Well that's a good decision, Do not ever tell something related to gambling to other people who doesn't participate in any gambling activities because we all know that there will be a judgement coming from them. since I have a habit of being easily bothered by what other people say about me, I try not to talk too much to other people so that I don't receive any comments that I don't like, but I accept constructive criticism.
Even for a gambler, they can still judge you sometimes or if it's already on their nature to judge every person that they came across with, but we shouldn't ever take them seriously if we think they are wrong and we are right.

It's only going to be hard at first on your case because of your condition in which you get annoyed easily but you'll soon get used to it if you will try to calm your self down. I know because I'm like this before. I realized that in this world we are living, they won't be totally prevented no matter how shut our mouths are. Another thing that helps is to think and realized that you are much better than those people that hates you.
