861  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is It Late To Invest In Bitcoin? on: November 06, 2023, 11:18:54 AM
The similar threads we have from last ten years like is it late or have we missed the boat.While we are waiting for the right time the only thing that comes after is regret that we should have invested at that time.If you are long term holder and have patience with believe it will grow invest without asking such questions and it's not too late for you.
Hahaha people always ask about this so looking back of course regretting having missed the ship that was supposed to sail long ago.
It has been said that no one is late in the sense that the ship is still waiting for us to start the journey to sail if they already have considerable patience then it will not be a problem at any price because we will always assume that bitcoin will always increase every cycle.
People who keep asking if I'm late or not are usually not likely to buy because they will just keep asking without doing anything.
What do we expect? There will always be new people who just discovered crypto but just wait, as there will be a time in the future that all people are now here. That is going to be the time for us to not see a thread like this anymore. They shouldn't regret if they are genuinely new. And for those who aren't, they are still being given a chance. BTC did already sail but it hasn't arrived on his destination yet.

It's normal to assume that BTC will always rise but the truth is there are also down times. But BTC still tries its best to recover and break another record or ATH. For questions like this, our response must always be positive so that those people won't be discouraged.

Well, it is easy to own your own online casino... you basically buy a white label casino script and you fund it with some startup capital and then spend some money marketing it, but with all the competition out there... you might struggle to make a profit.

I would like to have my own casino, but I cannot justify taking 1000s of people's money to reward only a few people every day. My casino will be the one where I give 99.9% of the money back to the gamblers and I just take 0.1% to cover the expenses.  Tongue
A script might be cheaper than buying a full casino but I think you will still need to inject a lot of things on it to become a full version casino. So that will still cost you a good money. It's not easy. And the spending's doesn't end there yet. As you said, we also need to market it and spend for the maintenance, and others... . Your ambition of creating your own version of casino sounds great and interesting. But it looks like you will lose easily on it.

Unless if you are already a wealthy man or you have won billions of dollars in the lottery and you are looking for a unique way of spending it. People like this are rare because many have became greedy when it comes to money.

The difference is still 4 points, Al-Nassr managed to get the win. I still do not completely understand how both teams are doing this great but I honestly believe that that two team is the best one out there without a doubt, I do not think that anyone could even remotely get close to them. I think it's clear that other teams tried as well, and they tried to get some good players, like Ittihad for example and all, but these two are just league of their own and the yare going for that title, no other team could get closer.

One of the downsides of this league having only 30 games is that you end up ending it quickly, a league with something like 38 games would mean 8 more games and 24 more points, which would have been different story. In that case we would see teams have a bit more chance to get closer to each other, but right now with 30 games it looks like even just a small amount of difference makes it harder to catch up, so only two teams could win if you ask me.

In everything that has an advantage, there is always a disadvantage. One can always choose to be on the positive side and continue to gamble responsibly, which will also contribute to his mental growth. Those who choose to turn their gambling life into a hobby instead of doing it for fun are chasing after big wins, which leads them right into getting addicted. Those kinds of people are the reason why most people see gambling as a bad influence.
It's barely possible to make an addicted gambler become a responsible gambler because it's not in their nature to be responsible or disciplined which is the reason why they became addicted to gambling in the first place. And, someone who is a responsible gambler doesn't have gambling problems because problems arise when a person gets heavily addicted and starts spending all their time and money on gambling and has no consciousness for any other thing in their lives.

I think the initiative OP has started is great if it turns out to be effective for gamblers who acknowledge the fact that they are facing problems and want to get out of their addiction. I'm not an addicted gambler, but it will be nice to see an addicted gambler try out the platform and then write feedback about the changes they can see in their life.
865  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you rather make your investments in FIAT or CRYPTO? on: November 05, 2023, 05:29:54 PM
Fiat as an investment? I can't really imagine how will it work because when we say investment, it's about earning huge for the long term but fiat is much stable than the crypto. Maybe there are small fluctuations sometimes but it's like they have a fix limit on how much they can gain. They can always recover to $1 if we use US Dollar as an example. If we are talkin about trading, maybe it doesn't look bad at all.

This is why there are forex trading, but I never heard of forex investment. I don't think volatility is that hard to understand but there is more than it like controlling an emotion, that one should learn and master in order to be victorious on this field.

Who doesn't dream of having a business that earns them a lot of money? Gambling is a great business and it earns the owners a lot of revenue but it is not that easy to build a casino and start a gambling business because it requires a lot of investment nowadays. You need to get the platform developed, buy games from game providers, hire marketing experts, hire customer service representatives, hire management staff, and a lot of other things that are required to be done.

Even if one manages to do all that, it is not very easy to get your casino to become the favorite of gamblers within the community, you will need to spend a lot of money on marketing and everything, and sometimes, a platform still doesn't work the way it should after all those marketing and promotions, and at the end of the day, you will find out that the gamblers are leaving the platform one by one which is a nightmare for any business.
867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 04, 2023, 08:08:20 PM
there is no other way than to accept Man United current ugliness, even though they failed in the UCL, there will be an opportunity in the european league and there, if Ten Hag fails again to get the title, he will definitely lose a lot of fans and on the one hand, competition in the european league will also be difficult because there are several other strong teams such as Liverpool and Leverkusen are very strong in the European league.

last hope to give Man United a chance when the transfer market opens again must be to get lots of players to improve Man United performance and if that effort still fails, it looks like we will have to say goodbye to Ten Hag who will be fired from Man United.
As of now, future of club like Manchester United is in dark because we have no consistency and things are going from bad to worse in last few weeks which are making things terrible for them now their chances for the next round are under threat, and they have to do their best if they want to keep their hopes alive into Champions League their last win against Copenhagen was not easy and lost at home against Galatasaray are also going to hurt them badly as well.

Hopefully while we will have next transferred window open few players will be departure, and they will be able to have few new as well even I have feeling they are currently having enough quality players but Ten Hag strategy and policies are surely hurting them badly, so he needs to check about this all for the better future.
868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: November 04, 2023, 06:55:00 PM
Pakistan got really lucky thanks to rain interference since it would have been difficult for them to win even though Zaman was on fire thanks to the crazy target. New Zealand bowlers messed up as usual excluding Southee.

Also, it looks like Australia are about to win without Maxwell and Marsh and almost sealed their semifinal spot thanks to England collapsing once again.
If you are able to check match stats and have cricket knowledge then surely you understand Pakistan were not lucky they were better team in batting and doing impressive work into their inning after conceding 401 runs against New Zealand with this was one of the worst bowling figures for them in this event.

Pakistan were at 200 in 25.1 overs with nine batsmen remaining, and two set batsmen were also doing amazingly, Fakhar was at his best after having order from team management to play his nature inning. Even I believe this was going to be won for the Pakistan if we have completely matched because from here they were completely in control and their ambitions were also to win this match with better NRR but sadly rain spoil this all.

After Australia won now we have three teams in last four with last team still waiting for the spotted as three teams in connection I am still favoring New Zealand as they are superior in NRR.
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use multiple platforms for betting? on: November 04, 2023, 05:18:01 PM
I think this strategy you are referring to is called arbitrage betting. I only don't think that it's safe, so for those who are planning of doing it, they must be very careful. Of course, it also works using a cryptocurrency. When it comes to the difficulty of funding a betting account, I think it depends on the betting platform that we are using.

So the key is to investigate first, if they are hassle-free before we start on using them so that we can initiate our strategy successfully. For those who don't do arbitrage, they will only find a really good betting platform and try to stick on it for a long time. I'm also like that actually because it saves me time, effort and even money.
870  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: November 04, 2023, 09:48:16 AM
That's a different kind of gambling. Just because you know about betting on things from an early age doesn't mean you will be interested in gambling when you grow up, that's now how it works, and one doesn't get addicted to the kind of bets you are talking about. We often do that with friends if two of us have different opinions about something or if there is an argument over something where there are different opinions shared by different people.

If I talk about personal experience, I remember that we used to do that a lot when we were kids, or even when we grew up, we still used to do that kind of betting between friends and cousins, etc., but, none of those who were involved are or were gambling addicts during their life journey so far. So, that gambling isn't what we call actual gambling.
871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: November 03, 2023, 07:08:25 PM
Al-Ittihad continued the 12th match today against Al-Shabab and Al-Ittihad conceded first in the first half, as we know Al-Ittihad has recorded bad results in the last 4 matches without a win. I do not understand what happened to this team, even though at the beginning they were predicted to be the main competitors to win the title but what happens is the opposite Al-Ittihad is only ranked 6th and it seems difficult to compete in the standings. What do you think, can Al-Ittihad return to the track?
Currently we are in at half-time of the match with Al Ittihad is trailing by one goal and this could be fifth match without any win which bring them 10th spot from the top which is surely serious problem for them in presence of many star players Kante, Karim Benzema and Felipe are in ground for the Al Ittihad but still things are going from bad to worse for the defending champions if we have nothing positive in this match for them most chances their chances for the staying at the top could be ended and their difference of points from leader could be 11 points which is clearly not easy to cut with Al Nassr and few other clubs are also doing impressive and most chances they could be not allowed to them for having anything positive in this season despite having huge investments on big names from soccer world.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD! on: November 03, 2023, 06:11:29 PM
Everything you mentioned is true and many pundits already comparing this team with a 2003-07 Australian World Cup team (Watched Jarrod Kimber's YT video analysis) but we need our A game in knockouts too, just 2 more complete performances in semis and Finals.  

Remember 1 bad day or 30 minutes of bad cricket could cost an entry into the finals and potentially the World Cup.
Well.. I agree. If the opponents are either South Africa or Australia, then it will get interesting. Proteas are in supreme form at the moment, while Australians are known to perform well during the knockout phase. If India loses the toss then it will immediately put them in backfoot during matches against these teams. Also, it is important not to get carried away after the massive 302 run win against Sri Lanka. Anyway, I just hope that the 12-year old jinx is finally broken. It has been a wait that has stretched for more than a decade.
Currently, this is topic in cricket community can India end their jinx of losing in knock out rounds are we are going to have another pathetic performance from them after having impressive run in group matches specially their bowlers and batsmen both are doing amazing stuff in last win against Sri Lanka they were playing like champions but still we have three matches with who is going to face India into semifinal this is also not clear right now.

Bowlers trio of Mohammad Shami, Mohammad Siraj and Jaspirat Bumrah is bowling like we have West Indians in 80s and 90s no team are able to play them freely on flat pitches which is also another plus point batsmen are also giving their best all top order is in good touch, so hopefully things could be good, and we will be able to have them with another trophy.

Before Champion league started most people were predict Benfica can able to advances to the next round with Inter Milan but surprisingly Benfica was displayed poor performance which make their position at the bottom of group standings Benfica even lose from Salzburg however with 3 times loses Benfica have slim chances to advances to the next round but their highest position probably at 3rd position at the end of group stages

Benfica will fight against Sociedad next week and this match probably will be determined Benfica final position at group D because if Benfica lose again then Sociedad is became the team who will advances to next round along with Inter Milan and indeed i was a bit surprised to see Sociedad performance because they can able to stole point from Inter Milan and beat Benfica and it could be a fantastic achievement to Sociedad if they can able to fight at round of 16 because if i am not mistaken they never done this before
I personally surprised with two teams performance in this season in Champions League even both are doing impressive in their domestic leagues with AC Milan and Benfica both were strong candidates for the qualification of the next round with their quality and performance, but sadly both are having no goals in three games but here AC Milan is having advantage they are having two points but Benfica is still with zero which mean things are badly down for them in this season now their next game is against Real Sociedad in Spain which is currently at the top and have surprisingly top spot into their group which will allow them spot into next round.

Inter Milan and Real Sociedad both are having seven points and one goal difference allowing Real Sociedad to stay at the top in last thirty years this is third time Real Sociedad having spot into Champions League with never go into round of 16 but this time they are changing history.

What the critics are saying and doing is stupid, indeed. The guy didn't have to give anyone anything at all but he still did, I don't see how there is any issue with that. It's his money, he won it using his own money and didn't take the money from the guy he gave 100k, so the guy who received that sum didn't even deserve that but he got it and he should be thankful and others should praise the man for what he did instead of criticizing him for his generosity.

Such people exist everywhere, sometimes you will even have close relatives who would have such mindsets. If they are poor and jobless even though the men in their household are all okay and able to work, they are too lazy to do that. Now, if you are earning a good income, they would expect you to keep helping them financially and if you refuse to do that, they will start saying things like, "What you are getting isn't all for yourself but it has our share in it, god is giving that to you so that you can help us." I mean, what the hell?
875  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is this fascination with claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto? on: November 03, 2023, 12:12:26 PM
Fake people always try to copy others, and since Satoshi Nakamoto has been out of Bitcoin science for such a long time and that has given room to some of those people to try to steal his identity if you ask me what their reasons are I will say they are out for the fame and nothing else, most of them want to take glory for what satoshi have done in developing a strong financial tool like Bitcoin that the whole has come to recognize it as the Internet money and this is enough for it creator to be a global celebrity which is what those identity thieves are after.
If anyone wants to prove to be Satoshi, it is easy, let they sign a message from one of Satoshi's old wallets
They know they can't prove anything, they are just looking for attention since the whole world knows Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have been the biggest and the most long-lasting hype one could ever witness and these few people want to make use of that and gain some popularity and attention around the globe for claiming to be Satoshi, the creator of the best cryptocurrency which is considered to be one of the revolutionary inventions to the humankind so far.

So, even though whatever they say or do wouldn't prove anything and those who know about bitcoin and its history will know that they are lying, they are still achieving their target which is to get attention and here we are, discussing them and spreading their names around which means they are getting recognition, even if it's negative.
876  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: November 03, 2023, 09:39:46 AM
there no harm in completing verification from the start of registering.
There is no harm in doing that as long as the platform you are using is trusted and has a good reputation among the gamblers' community because then you will have peace of mind that your personal details and documents won't be misused or sold since these things happen nowadays where new platforms collect such information from their users and then sell them to third-party service providers in return for money which is obviously a bad thing for the customer.

Therefore, it's not advisable to complete KYC verification at casinos or platforms that are relatively new and don't have much trust and reputation among gamblers. Even if you are asked to do it before you have made any deposits, but if the platform isn't trusted, you should avoid doing that and look for a better place to continue your activities.

After today's match, the Net run rate for the Indian team is still lower than the South African team. NNR for South Africa is 2.290 while for India it is 2.102. Although the Indian team is at the number one spot because they have won all the matches. South Africa also won all matches except one and they are at the number 2 spot.

I am really looking forward to the block buster match between India and South Africa to be played on this Sunday. This could be the trial final, before the actual final may take place between the two teams. Also, i think this match will decide who will top this points table and hence this match is of utmost importance for both the teams.
With this performance I don't think anyone thinking about their NRR because they are enjoying this game and having seven wins out of seven matches with most chances now top spots are fixed for the India and South Africa with Australia is having chances for the third, and we will have good competition for the remaining fourth spot as right now New Zealand, Afghanistan and Pakistan on same level after three matches lost suddenly New Zealand is having bad time because they were impressive in early matches but now suddenly down which can create problems for them at the end.

Now we will have three important games first on Saturday Australia vs England and New Zealand vs Pakistan then India vs South Africa on Sunday will be meet at Eden Garden Kolkata as we are heading for the last rounds now some good matches are creating entertainment for the cricket fans after bore and one-sided matches.

The fixtures between Ajax and FC volendam today is an opportunity for volendam to break the decade long looses they always suffer whenever they meet ajax, although ajax happens to be the favourite of the bookies because they are playing from home.

The current form Ajax has is such that Volendam could take advantage of to secure for themselves three points and move far way from the relegation zone on the table, if they win they will have ten points and that will be trying to displace sittartd at the 11th position with ten points aswell but goal difference may distinguish them,  ajax have just five points from eight matches played so far, a result they have not gotten in a very long time, it even seem like the worse so far in a decade. This match was actually rescheduled to enable ajax qualify for their Europa gamesm
Here I have to agree with you about Ajax vs Volendam match, but I have feeling both teams are having equal chance to win this game and bring themselves out of the relegation jail with for me Ajax can take positive turn because they are already at their worst and things need quick change before this have more deep Volendam is having good performance in last few games which are giving them fair chance for the jump at 10th spot after this win.

Ajax having one win from their last eight games are clearly indicating how things are going into this giant club in the Netherlands, they are having one game against Waalwijk 2 - 3 just 7 minutes to hold for the another win which is also required for changing the team momentum right now.
879  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: November 02, 2023, 08:28:33 AM
I want to gamble on online casinos. I found some good trusted casinos. And I want to begin with a game with a low budget. First, I need your suggestions about the best games, slots. Live casino for a beginner.
Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.
That depends on how you handle everything. People who are disciplined with their money and personal lives tend to be responsible gamblers because they will always be careful about how much they are spending on their gambling activities. On the other hand, those who lack basic financial management skills and lack self-control, and discipline will barely be able to manage both, their personal life and gambling, effectively and they tend to face problems later on.

So, it's basically all about how you manage the things. Always make sure that you have a specific budget for gambling and you stick to that no matter what. The urge might get stronger as you go deeper into gambling, but if you stay disciplined, you won't have any negative effects of gambling in your life.
880  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: November 01, 2023, 06:36:54 PM
I think the effect is temporary though. I mean if you used gambling as a stress reliever, definitely it will work but for how long? Maybe just a couple of hours playing and then you lose money? Same with it improves your mood, when you gamble it might release some chemicals like Dopamine so you really feel good about yourself. But then again, the same question, how long will you feel that good mood?

So not really sure if we can call this as health benefits because the effects is for a limited of time only.
There are a lot of medications in the field of medical and health sciences that are prescribed to a patient for a temporary solution, these can include painkillers, sleeping pills, anxiety, and stress relieving pills, and a bunch of others that medical personnel can know more about. So, would you not consider all those being beneficial for one's health, even if it's just for a short period? I think we do consider them helpful and useful for us on a lot of occasions.

Similarly, any activity, including gambling, will just provide you with a temporary solution for something that might be helpful or useful for you at that exact moment. When you are feeling down, you can use something that can cheer you up, and when you are sad, you can cherish an activity that brightens your mood. So, even if the benefits are temporary, they are useful for us and our health and I think that is enough reason to call them health benefits.
