It might be a good idea to do some parlays as well? What do you think?
Well i used small bets and did several combinations of multi bets with all of them.
I even used exact rounds and winning methods with some of them. I can't recommend doing it as the winning change is less then slim, but it was for fun anyway and to keep my interest up on this.

I have no expectations to win, but if i do, i would get my money back with pretty sweet multipliers.
If i get decent results i will try this again, maybe with some other sport.

What is the one behaviour you noticed in a gambler and  you dislike it? You don't need to have a reason for disliking it but you just do.

As for me I dislike when gamblers complain of their losses, meanwhile you hear them complain when they are getting winnings.

What about you, what do you dislike ?
People that are:

- Telling everyone that they are only winning to hide their losses, and tricking more people to gamble as a solid alternative to work, by telling only upside of things.
- Blaming their losses and gambling habit in general on anyone but themselves. Most of the time it's casinos and their "rigged" machines.
- Finding excuses to gamble more than planned. And to justify their own gambling.
- Playing money that's not their own.
- People who use vpn, but are citizens of restricted countries and are blame the casino when they get caught.

Many of these come from addiction, and to blame addicted is like blame someone for being sick. However addicted people have responsibility to seek help and some people refuse to do that.

AI prediction of 2.9.2023 UFC Fight Night

After ChatGPT came out, i've seen some threads about AI and if it could help in gambling.
Back then, AI:s couln't access to internet so they couldn't find latest stats to compare, but now it's a whole new ball game.
While i am highly skeptical about results i thought i might give it a go to try it.

I admit that this is a fraction of any sample size that would be needed to come to any conclusion if it's working but i thought it would be fun little experiment.

I chose Bing AI chat creative mode as my tool, as it seems to be most efficient free tool for this kind of stuff. I tried also google bard, while it had some insightful opinions about some matches, it didn't have any data about most of the fighters so it couln't make any predictions. Basically my prompt for ai was "if these two would fight, who would win and how, and can you give me details how you came that conclusion"

I haven't check if the data is legit, as AI's have an issue of inventing things that doesn't exist (lying), you should take the results with the grain of salt. Prediictions doubly so. I myself did some small multi bets from these predicions. Not too much because i don't want to trust my money on this silly experiment, but some to have some skin in the game.

Full details were too long and specific to post in here, they contained links to articles, records and statistics, fighting styles, advantages and disadvantages, etc, so i asked it to summarize it for me afterwards. But i put links to original long answers and they are most interesting part of this and definitely worth checking out.

Links to full, detailed answer won't work immediately, you have to wait after a click a bit for them to appear in bing search page.

I will update the results next to prediction recap at the end to see if any of these were even remotely correct. I'll do it Sunday, as i am offline whole Saturday.

But here we go; summarized predictions about that fight night ->

- I think Cavalcanti would win over Fairn by using her speed, versatility, and conditioning. She would be able to avoid Fairn's strikes, take her down, and finish her with a TKO or a submission.

As i asked for best guess, bing refused to take a guess, so i started a new session, where it for some reason guessed:

Quote
Ciryl Gane is the favorite to win the fight against Serghei Spivac. He has better speed, striking, and defense than Spivac.
Serghei Spivac is the underdog in the fight. He has good grappling, wrestling, and submission skills. He has never been knocked out in his career.
I think Ciryl Gane would win the fight by knockout or decision, but Serghei Spivac could also surprise him with his ground game and chin.

I double checked with Google Bard AI and it agrees -> https://g.co/bard/share/9b83e86ea5b8
It said either TKO or decision, i asked it to elaborate and it would estimate TKO happening in 4th or 5th round.

When that falling wedge breaks, I think it's gonna explode.
When is that happening? Not today that's for sure as it's aready dropped from the video's $0.0961 ro $0.09298.
So i am not seeing any breakout. It has been dropping for 2 years now so i won't be holding my breath that it would breakout when bitcoin just dropped a bit.
If you think it's a good project, then you shoud definitely buy some as it hasn't been this cheap ever.



1045  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: About Altcoins Investment Experience on: August 31, 2023, 07:10:06 PM
I did invest in lots of altcoins and i received many tokens from bounties as reward. I experienced that, most of the tokens turns into shitcoin or dead after a few months. Some Altcoins performed very good for a certain time then all of those lost 90-95% of values and still traded on exchange with so called volume. Thus process is continued. Even top altcoins also replaced by new altcoins. 2017 vs 2023.

Moral: I think BTC and ETHEREUM is better option for investment, Can be trusted blindly, profitable for long. Low Ranked Altcoins, Memecoins and shitcoins are just headache and reason of huge losses in long time. But anyone can invest his money wherever they want.
Most of the time you are right. And if you need money, you should totally move your bounties to eth or btc. But that token you got immediately moons, just remember that it's not going to be next eth. You are totally ok selling it yearly. Or if you believe it's going to do pepe like move, just sell most of it and leave a moonbag. Just in case it will moon.

Long time ago i saw one altcoin in charts that was mooning. I wondered that where i had heard that name. It turned out i had their bounty in one of my wallets and i had totally forgotten it. That can happen too especially in altcoin season. Most of the time it's not happening though.
1046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots with the purchase of bonus games - is it good or bad? on: August 31, 2023, 07:00:58 PM
A few years ago, slots appeared with the purchase of bonus games. Within a short period of time, almost every software has implemented this feature.
For me, the game of slot machines has changed a lot. The winnings in the regular bonus have become smaller, and the purchase of bonuses breaks the whole ideology of slot machines. By the way, the chances of a big win in purchased bonuses are much higher, but I do not like to buy them.
How do you feel about slots with purchasable bonuses? Would you like to do everything as it was before, without buying bonuses?
I totally agree with you. I don't get the appeal of buying those, especially when there's a real change you lose your bet. You might as well gamble with bigger bets and get that money in normal wins, or if you are super lucky you get the bonus with THAT! So that the worth of bonus game is going to be 100x-500x if bought. Or what ever they are worth now.

One reason i am in casinos is win with higher multiplier. Not possibly losing my capital with buying something i am hoping to get for free, or free with the bet.
1047  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is It Finally Time For AI Coins? on: August 31, 2023, 06:22:57 PM
I have always been a tech nerd following all of the latest developments. In recent times, the synergy between tech and the crypto industry have been nothing short of impressive. I followed the LK-99 hype sometime ago that led to creation of several similarly themed cryptocurrencies. Also followed related events before that.
.cut-
Similarly themed? Those were memecoins based on superconductor hype. They had no purpose what so ever.
In fact i see cryptos giving to artificial intelligence design same amount as they give to superconductors, and that's nothing.

Ai doesn't need bulky deceentralized database any more then super conductor needs it.

And you are late. Look at any coin/token that's pretending to do anything useful with big data or AI, hype is over. DALL·E 2 released in April 2022, that's when the hype started. and peaked because of chatgpt. It wasn't anything more than hype.
1048  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Paypal launches an Ethereum-based Stablecoin! on: August 31, 2023, 06:11:18 PM
A stable coin issued by paypal therefore completely centralized, therefore paypal can freeze and disable the various accounts, it does not inspire confidence at all, the saying always applies not your keys not your money however it does not seem to have much success around 90 % of supply is still available
So, just like usdt then? They can freeze usdt too. I am not sure why people single out paypal's stablecoin as centralized.

One would think people would be thrilled that they can move money from binance to paypal and back without using any normal bank accounts.

Ok it doesn't fit to decentralized ideology of cryptos, but neither does usdt. Yet we wouldn't be so high without it.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can’t cope on my own. What do you think I should do? on: August 30, 2023, 06:06:10 PM
I have been into sports betting for a while now and i am not really proud of my earliest experience in gambling, i feel like i am the most unlucky person in the world i lost a lot of games and also i lost a lot of money. I had knowledge about football and basketball games and they were my most picked games and even so I kept losing all my bets and even when i try to play safe i still end up losing and whenever i ask my friends for games we still end up losing the bet then i got tired and in the end i gave up and tried to quit gambling and I left it for some months. During this period my friends made a lot of money gambling and i was envious of them but it didn’t made me change my mind to start gambling over again.

Some months later i came across a telegram channel and i joined, it was a gambling channel that posted free sports bets for its users and there is also a VIP section where users subscribe for some sure games. I am well aware of all these techniques used by scammers so I decided to observe the channel and follow up games posted and I discovered he won most of the games and had about 80% victory rate. Then after some time I decided to try my luck again so I played one of his games and i won i was so happy and it was as though the curse placed on me has been lifted and I tried some more games and i won again and again and since the beginning of the new season i only lost twice and i am now proud of my gambling achievements.

According to the channel free games are limited and we can only enjoy for a month and now the month is almost over and only VIPs will be entitled to games when the month elapses. I have been having doubts whether to join the VIP zone because I don’t want to be scammed that’s why i want to know your opinions.

 What do you all think i should do?
Everyone is unlucky from time to time, you just don't see it as people aren't shouting how they lost everything, and even if they are, stories of insane winnings travel faster and further because those are the stories people want to hear. There's no curse, just the reality and probability. There are also no such thing as sure games or safe bets. If there would be, people wouldn't be losing money.

I am not saying you shouldn't use every advantage you have, but some telegram channel doesn't sound like an advantage. Every time they make bad calls i am guessing they will delete those and leave wins that they can market that channel with.

But also at the same time, maybe check some online question sheet if you have a gambling addiiction or not, because it sounds like you are not in this for fun.
If you have a gambling addiction, don't feel ashamed of it. Gambling is not for everyone and there's no shame of admitting it, quite opposite, it takes a strong person to admit they have a problem.

But good luck with your gambling if you decide to continue. Just don't count on safe bets.
1050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hypothetical Question on: August 30, 2023, 05:41:34 PM
If someone told you a guaranteed sports bet that had a 100% chance of winning, how much would you bet on it?

If you had a $10,000 bankroll, would you go all in? We’re talking 100% can’t lose bet.

Would you take out a loan? How would you go about acquiring a large sum of money if you didn’t have the capital.

Let’s say the match is starting 24 hours from now, what would be your plan to maximize your profit?

Asking for a friend  Wink
Well, first thing i would ask from you that how do you know it's 100%? Would i need to trust that friend on that or would i have confirmed it somehow? Would it be a rigged game? And even if it would be how could i be sure that i have been given accurate information about it?

If i knew or a fact i have 100% probability to win i obviously bet everything i have and would take high interest loan. But there's no such thing as knowing something 100%. This is a gambling we are talking about and anything can happen in a game or a fight what you are betting on. You don't know many things in your life that happens in 100% certainty, so how would you do that in gambling?

Finally people will see that PEPE is a shitcoin. I mean, a lot of people knew that, but some were trying to convince me that PEPE is legit.
I would argue that everyone shilling it knew it was a shitcoin. It's an unspoken agreement that people don't speak ill about the coins/tokens they hold. They just keep shilling them, as you can make a ton of money with absolute useless garbage, because when it will rise from nothing (microcap to lowcap), you have already made more than enough money for that year depending what you put in originally.

This is why these stories get so much press time. Everyone wants to identify with that guy who made $200 to $2M. It makes it seem possible even though it will happen for handful of people.

I am all for Sprurdo coming to next pepe but this is such a stupid thing to say. No one believes you made 7 figures, except maybe if you are talking about 7 figures of pepe.
Without any proof it's just sad thing to say.

Getting into poloniex was cool move, i'll give you that. But trying to make a Finnish meme somehow world wide thing doesn't quite work imho.

Origin on imageboards doesn't really mean anything. Do you know how many failed projects have started there?

Last i saw the community was mostly flooding their telegram. I haven't encountered in anywhere, but in here and in there. So when isn't really reaching into my attention in anywhere else, i wouldn't call it good marketing. Everything else you stated is mostly just hype talk without any substance.

I know bull is still away from us but as an investor, I'm excited from now. And today market condition also impressing, altcoins start pumping hard and going on. So are you excited for upcoming bull session like me? What altcoins you are holding? Are you planning to hold ONLY Layer 1 altcoins? Or some more altcoins for More profit?  Kindly share your altcoins name if those are ranked from 30 to 200, according to Cmc and coingecko.
Only altcoin in that range in coinmarketcap that i hold at the moment is Unu Sed Leo. As i am kinda hoping for them to Bitfinex to get rest of their stolen bitcoins back. They already recovered $314K, which gives me hope, but that's not much of the total $3.6 Billion stolen. If they get rest of it back it's an insane moon time, like nothing we have seen before for Unu Sed Leo.
1054  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: DOGE logo shiba inu passed away on: August 30, 2023, 04:52:33 PM
The internet was taken by surprise after the news the shiba inu, Cheems Balltze (12 years old), which inspired dogecoin cryptocurrency logo passed away after a battle against cancer. Not only inside the crypto community, the dog was pretty popular on several niches of the internet since the last decade and was probably known by people who didn't even have notice about Bitcoin or Dogecoin.
-cut-
If i was the owner of that dog, i would definitely set up a wallet for donations in order to build a shrine for that doge. I mean it shouldn't be impossible donations from both shiba inu and doge communities. t would be good press and uniting the community to stand for good things and cute doggos.

But maybe they want to mourn in peace and don't want that cute dog to represent cryptos. I would totally understand that too.
1055  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The next trending storyline in DeFi might be RWA on: August 29, 2023, 01:56:31 PM
First, you can not have decentralized finance when dealing with real-world assets. There must be a centralized intermediary in between.

They are called oracles and presently Chainlink has created their platform giving this type of functionality. Also with Chainlink, institutions can have blockchain connectivity solutions for RWA and interoperability between blockchains. The infrastructure is there, it only needs to be used and it appears in the interview with Larry Fink, Blackrock is very interested.

Also, it is very important to mention again that the next inflow of funds from institutional investors to the cryptospace might go through the tokenization of real world assets like corporate and government bonds. It might not be through altcoins and it will certainly not be through NFTs hehehehe.
Also there's a problem with front running. I am guessing that would be frowned on with traditional assets. And frankly i don't think it's legal.
Large companies with tokenized RWA wouldn't like that their wallet addesses were doxxed and that's definitely going to happen. And when ever they would try to move something, bots with higher tx fees would react and buy or sell the same thing before them.

There are also problem with the fact that regulators would want transactions to be reversable and assets frozen if needed. So at the moment i don't see any solution making the current system any better. I would like that they would solve this but i have been waiting for so long already.
1056  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io| 💸Buy-Sell BFG on BetFury | 🔥Fury Pharaoh - New In-house Slot on: August 29, 2023, 01:49:25 PM
Betfury managers wrote earlier in this thread that they allow the use of VPN to access the site, and I haven't heard a single case of them blocking a user because of it. So Betfury's ToS may be just a formal thing, and they only pretend to comply with the regulators. Actually, nothing is surprising in this because other platforms do the same thing. Moreover, popular centralized exchanges such as Binance also pretend to comply with regulatory requirements. In reality, they are constantly looking for loopholes to get around these requirements until they are caught red-handed.
Of course it's a formal thing, but that doesn't make it something we should ignore, quite the opposite.
And even if they formally allowed VPN, that doesn't contradict my original explanation for it that could make it legal, and that is the fact one is visiting in another country, while not being citizen of it.

When we talk about Binance, i don't think they are knowingly allowing blackisted people to trade, they just have such a high amount of users, that's it's nearly impossible for them to catch everyone with fake passport or identity thefts. They just don't have enough staff that's enough educated to handle that. This will probably change at some point when there's more regulatory oversight. I don't think binance cares if you use VPN or not. They just care about potential KYC to check where you are from, just like casinos.

Before ever using a VPN on a casino , it is most important to make sure that the terms of service clearly stated that VPN are allowed on the casino, at least, and also trust that the casino is one that can be trusted not to go into their terms of service to change things when problem arises..

If the terms of service excludes the country you are citizen of, it doesn't matter if TOS allows VPN or if it doesn't say anything about VPN.
Using VPN doesn't make one a citizen of unrestricted country, it just makes one a person that pretends to be a citizen of unrestricted country.

So, could we talk about for a moment about Inferno Drainer. For you who are unaware about it, it's a scam-as-a-service (SaaS).

At the time of writing, number of total victims is 81,182 and total amount of stolen money is $35,978,485 so it's not a tiny problem.
It started this year and has been a quickly growing scam industry. Majority of stolen assets have been from ETH chain



Data from Scamsniffer - Dune

This service provides users with a code that enables them to steal crypto, and service providers take 20% of the stolen loot.
Morals aside, i admit giving a free updated scamming software is an ingenious business model for criminals, if you don't count the fact it's highly immoral and evil.

You might have seen scammers (newb users) using this even in bitcointalk, linking fake websites that looks like legit known sites. Like paypal, exchanges, or airdrops etc. And those pages are offering to link your metamask, or asking login credentials or even a seed phrases. And moment you give any of them you'll obviously get your money stolen.

So, let's talk. Where do you stand on this? Are you tempted to use this highly illegal service to scam people? Do you have high enough morals not to? Or would you use if you knew you didn't get caught?

Source article is from earlier this year when only 16% of current amount were stolen: https://drops.scamsniffer.io/post/5-9-million-stolen-by-scam-as-a-service-provider-called-inferno-drainer/

I don't see it like that. Rewarding is not the word i would use. Account that i used long time to build is worthless now. Since they restricted EU from gambling, price and tokenomics are really only things i can focus on. So for me, it's only an investment opportunity, and i am trying to figure out from fundamentals and tokenomics when is that opportunity is going to be. And at the moment it's just trading the waves, trying to find ins and outs where i can buy an sell.

A lot of countries are restricted from gambling on Betfury but they have already stated multiple times that they allow the use of a VPN. Personally I wouldn’t invest in the tokens, for me the main benefit of Betfury is the tokens you mined when playing (these days are over) and the daily dividend you got from them. As others have said before, there are no indications that the price would suddenly skyrocket.
By allowing VPN they mean that it's for players that are visiting on those restricted countries but have a citizenship of a country that's not restricted.

Otherwise it would be illegal and if they would froze your money, you would have no legal grounds to get them back, because you would have violated TOS.

Actually they would be legally obligated to freeze your account, if they aren't running an illegal operation, so i wouldn't feel so safe staking anything there. If you live in a country that's not restricted, you'll be fine to stake. Just not me.

While you might be right, this is something they stated to me multiple times in livechat so it must be that there are maybe some loopholes so it doesn’t cause any trouble for them and the players. Their list of restricted countries is so long also that they would loose a lot of (old) players when they wouldn’t allow a VPN.
I would go with occam's razor here as the simplest explanation is often most probable reason. Either you misunderstood what they meant by that, or they were lying to you and they are running an illegal operation, where they look another way and only pretend to comply with regulators. That doesn't give much hopes for your possibility to get your money back in any legal way if they ever would close your account.
 
If there would be loopholes that contradict the whole point of AML / sanction laws, don't you think that every casino could use that loophole? Ask anyone in charge of casino that on record and tell that you are going to double check that from regulators, and they will deny ever saying that.

If they could offer their services to citizens of restricted countries, why do they have that section in their tos saying the opposite?

It must have capital Cry

However, which one should you be more dependent on when it comes to making money from the casino!

Is it really good luck for you?
Which basic technique to use?

Of course, the first good thing to do is set aside a gambling budget so that you can control how much you can lose. This way, you can limit yourself to a big loss, and that should be the only amount you carry, not too much.

In addition to that, just choose the game that suits you and that you like, don't play if you're not sure you'll enjoy it, and then also take advantage of the bonuses they have if you think you can avail of them at their casino as a gambler. Don't be like the others who have been reported to have consumed too much alcohol inside the casino, which can cause confusion and embarrassment for you.
Except when you play in online casino you are "carrying" everything with you. This is why you need to set rules to yourself. And if you want to bend those rules. Have several different accounts for different purposes. So that it's easier to spend only your budget worth of money. It's also takes a lot from your mind when you don't constantly have to be scared if you play more than intented to when money is more difficult to use for gambling.

I can't imagine how hyped HBAR will be with the "FEDNOW" partnership. It's likely the coin will reach $1 before the end of the year. That's if investors keep "pumping" it like crazy. But it's hard to believe this will become a reality, especially when the crypto market is in a prolonged bearish period.

I wouldn't expect Hashgraph to last a long time because it's centralized. Only BTC and LTC will. Even Ethereum has been compromised. Between ETH and HBAR, I'd prefer ETH because it's less centralized than HBAR. The only downside are the high fees and slow confirmation times. Who knows what the future holds for both cryptocurrencies? Just my opinion Smiley
I might take a second look at hbar. Thanks for the tip. My initial response to this post was skeptical. Everyone so far who have said that they were "better" than eth were full of it.

But i have to respect your timing of your original post. At the time of shilling HBAR had around $200M marketcap. Which started to grow up to around $6.5B marketcap in one year.
