Milan played very well against PSG in their last game and managed to pick up three points. If they beat Dortmund in the next game, they will have a chance to get out of the group. In general, their Group F is the most unpredictable of all the others.

PSG is a dullard team, they ought to have taken down Milan but they feel too comfortable but now Dortmund has taken over the lead in their group but I don't think they have the balls to tarnish Dortmund, even in the last few years, Milan don't have good records with Dortmund. I think Milan will miss this one despite is going to be a home game.

Manchester United moved from a Champions League team to a League team. Unfortunately, the Red Devils were blown away. For them, the exit from the group is closed and they can only wait for the next season and put in unrealistic efforts so that the next season does not turn out to be just as disastrous.

Manchester United are in between shark teeth, but they can do it and it's possible thing for them to have +6 in this 2 group matches and the two teams that are having 4 points currently in the group table will move lower. But I have some problems with Manchester United, the last time they played home match against Galatasaray, they lost and I'm unsure if Manchester United can beat Galatasaray in their home.

They had Bayern Munich on the neck in their away match the last time. However, is that still possible is the doubts I'm having on my head. Rashford is gone until after next 3 matches which we are not even sure of their next journey after the group stage. So many unpredictabilities around Manchester United, I hope they pass this stage though.

If a trader trades on the spot market, he clearly has an advantage over a gambler, as his actions are not limited by time frames, and since bitcoin is a deflationary asset, even if you buy it at the highest price, you can get your money back in a few years. I am engaged in trading on the crypto market and gambling, and personally for me cryptocurrencies carry less risk than gambling. Perhaps everything would be different if I had a better understanding of sports, but unfortunately I do not have it.

I think there is crossline of gambling over trading when you used time. In gambling, highest you can bet is between a month and you will know your result instantly because the faster you bets, the likelihood of getting higher odd because there wouldn't be much information around yet. However, in trading, holding can take more than a year or even years depending on when you bought it before you enjoy what you invested and if you are a good bettor, you will have made something good from gambling between that period.

Gambling has an advantage and trading has it own too and the risk are not similar in any ways because in trading, you can get back what you have invested in it if you are patient but gambling will not, if you like rejoice over unseen result, what will be is going to be and emotions or speculations wouldn't change anything about it.

Why would you want to avoid being identified, if you gamble legally and if you are not a criminal? Let's discuss the reasons why KYC are not advantageous for the gamblers and casinos?

Ps. I am playing Devil's advocate... if you did not notice it.  Grin

I was trying to see if you are been sarcastic about your thread but I see that you are serious about everything you said and listed.

There is this thing about not doing KYC and it's not about the things you listed. KYC break privacy and without privacy, you have nothing to protect and it's everyone freedom to protect their privacy. There is nothing wrong if you want to keep your privacy from the public, how you do, what you do and when you do is none of anyone business but when you do this kyc, all is gone because you have exposed everything about yourself to a company that you know nothing about but knows everything about you.

Furthermore, doing KYC isn't the main problem, there are many reports of KYC information been sold because KYC is a very profitable business on the dark web where people can use your information, they buy your data and use it for another thing you know nothing about. How will you react when you see your pictures on the national television for wanted for a crime you know no about. That's one thing to fear about KYC.

KYC might be a way the company might be protecting itself from theaw enforcement and other people but the more you look at these companies, the disadvantages of KYC outgrow the advantages of KYC and that's why people should avoid it if they can.
544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: November 23, 2023, 10:24:05 PM
Try to solve financial issues with spending or investing money imo isnt the right thing to do. It is like trying to fight fire with fire. The only solution to sufficient money I see is simple - finding new or extra work. Maybe it is ok to make a so called safe bet, but it will bring little money only. Making a huge bet is risky, and on a distance multiple safe bets eventually gonna turn into a loosing one. Imo gambling is not a solution to get more money.

Unfortunately, that's what people do. Some people even avoid gambling for a while but the moment they have a financial difficulties, doubling the money is always their first solution. I have seen students in many occasions used their school fees to bets and loss everything in the process and I have also seen some win and when you ask them why take such kind of risk, they tell you it's because they don't have money at hand and everything left will be zero after they pay the school fees.

Go to higher institutions, places like my Alumni, the Student union government has to plead with the school management not to close the school portal and give sometime for the students that are yet to pay their money to pay up because many of them didn't eat the money but habe foolishly stake the money to bets and they loss everything in the process.

There are even people that use money they are supposed to used to travel out been used for gam, this is to show you that people are really weird and will do anything more than gambling to double their money if there is actually a way for them to do that kind of stuffs.

Reportedly, Manchester City is persuading Erling Haaland to sign a new contract. But this has not yet reached a consensus and it will probably take quite a long time for Erling Haaland to agree. I think this is all because of rumors that Erling Haaland was linked with Real Madrid a few weeks ago and I think what Manchester City is currently doing is a form of protection for this great player.

Of course Manchester City will try to anticipate pressure from outside and again their opponent is Real Madrid and we know that all players dream of playing for the best club in the world, including Erling Haaland. Is this an emergency step that Manchester City is trying to take so that its striker can stay longer at the Etihad Stadium? Roll Eyes


We are not going to be having some discussion because often the more I see them, the less chance I think they even happen. Haaland might be having a new contract possibly his future with Manchester City but saying it will take time, I doubt unless if Guardiola will be so patient to wait that longer because I'm very sure that Manchester City need him more, they will not allow another club present checks on his face.

Who knows what will even happen to Haaland if he should live Manchester City, he is not a playmaker like other players that played center forward and make balls for other team members, if he is not scoring, he is expecting to get an assist from other players. Right before he came From Dortmund, he was nothing and if he should.miss this golden moment, it's going to affect him if he lives Manchester City.

Manchester united is in its transforming stage, it will take time before they will bounce back to winning ways because there's a whole of things to set by the coach and the players will have to abide by strict rules set. Erik Ten Hag have his own ego to float, we know him to be one of the tough coaches that have managed Manchester United and he's not going to relent when it comes to his duties as headcoach. He discipline his players accordingly and he share the exact same respect and commitment to all of them despite the high status of some players.

Manchester doesn't have any good consistency, not in the Champions League nor in the Premier League but it's fine thÉat they are in better place in the table but they are still far from Atson Villa that is ahead of them by 4 points and even they are can win their next two matches, what is the probability of Aston villa not winning their next two matches as well.


Chelsea performance has improved and they need to remain consistent on their games going forward. When they played against Tottenham Hotspur, we thought they’re back in form and then they lose that consistency not until when they drew against Manchester City again. They need to be showcasing great football quality when playing against both big and small teams in order to go far in the league and have a better position in the league table.

There is no way to expect that from Chelsea because it's  like we are requesting  a heavy duty from Chelsea. Let's say the want to be consistent, they are 10 points away from the top of the table and they need atleast like 3 win back to back before getting that. Now, how is Chelsea going to have 3 clear games for Chelsea without causing any problem. Even Manchester City will have to break a lot of resistance to keep such kind of title but it's Chelsea they want to bran it.

Why do people love football more than any other sports
Football is the most watch sport, most discussed and most entertaining sport in the world. Premier League is one the biggest English in the world that people want to see every year and also the Champions League. The national leagues are also interesting to watch and events like world cup are the reasons why Football is unmatched with any other sports. No sport in the world that unite people like football.

Do you know that in Brazil, parent prefer their children to go to football academy than actually going to academy for studies. That's because parent want the world to see the talent of their children. This is what love of football brings to people.

Which football are you referring to? Real football like NFL American football or soccer? I personally cannot stand soccer, but i'm only 1 person. My dislike is mainly related to the betting of the sport, it's just not my favorite. Now if you are talking NFL football, I LOVE THAT!!! Big hits, awesome celebrations after scores, many betting options it's just a great sport.

You got me smiling. Why on earth will you dislike football because of sport betting. The joy in defending my favorite player alone is enough to make me want to stay all day doing that. I will repeat it the second day and a day after that day.

Football is fun even if you don't dislike the sport betting, it's even difficult to bets football matches than to bet other sport bets but that shouldn't be barrier to avoid football. I doubt if you really skip the day Argentina had their final with France last year, everyone loves football even the women do.  Kiss

Because Real Madrid lose some key players due to injury, it is a good opportunity for Napoli to win them and get more hope of qualifying, but Napoli is not also in a good shape due to Osimhen's injury and they recently change new manager which have made their matches unpredictable. Although, even without winning against Real Madrid, Napoli still have a chance to be in the Champions League because Sporting Braga and Union Berlin will not take it lively with each other as they are both fighting for Europa League spot.

When Real had their first match in the Champions League, Vinicious was never there and they won, they played so many domestic Leagues without him and Bellingham was the limelight of the club doing his midfielder work with less support from wingers. The worst has not even happen to Real Madrid yet because Anceloti can still use Bellingham as center forward since his injury is just minor, he can do it and win Napoli.

My fear for Real Madrid right now is not even the group stage because from their current stand in the table, even if they lose to Napoli which I'm not seeing, they will still qualify for the knockout stage and it scared me more what will happened to them because Vinicious will be out for the whole of this year and the probability of even coming back early next year is low.


One of the factors that affect most team or rather club is having excessive star players because most people feel that having all the strong players in one team could boost there performance but on the contrary it doesn't work that way instead it will reduce their performance because nobody will listen to each other.

So however when PSG bought so many stars like Lionel Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, sagio Ramos and so many other good quality players with the belief that they would outperform other clubs but on the contrary they were finding it difficult to perform or wining most of there matches, and even some smaller clubs use to win them, so perhaps with that squad they have losing matches shouldn't have be an option for them, but however since some of there players like Lionel Messi and some other left, PSG was able to breathe and they are playing well more than before.

You don't have to blame them because that's how things where then but now most clubs don't do that again, they now preferred to have young talented players than players who are famous for there past records. Didn't you observe Haaland and Bellingham were just normal players from Dortmund but they have change history already in English Premier League.


Don't ridicule Messi performance in PSG, that club was a disaster and they are going to pay for how they treated Messi. He is already in painter Miami and within his 4 months in the club, he has lifted what couldn't be done in 10 years for the club, such a goat.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would You Crowdfund for a Gambler Who Has Gambled Irresponsibly? on: November 22, 2023, 11:15:00 PM
A few days ago, I posed a question in this forum, wondering if, as someone who engages in gambling, you've ever considered thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run. I carefully went through all the responses, maintaining keen interest and taking note of each perspective. Another aspect of the inquiry involves whether you would be willing to participate in crowdfunding for a fellow gambler who reaches out to the public through social media seeking financial support after they gambled with the funds meant for an important project like, investment, school fees, rent, marriage or any other thing. And what would you say to those who go ahead to donate to these gamblers out of a sense of empathy?

I don't think there is further discussion about it because you made mention of irresponsibly. Who help man that do things irresponsibly? Not even his close people will know something of such and want to render any financial help to him and what is even the assertiveness that he wouldn't go back to that gambling after helping him out, helping an irresponsible gambler is like fueling his car to go back where he is not supposed to be in his life.

An irresponsible person I believe the person to be a person that is not change, they are such I will view as a person that is an addict but if for instance it's an emergency fund to help raise a school fee and I know that they are going to drop out, I will gladly help because I'm also a human being and humanity should preceed everything we do in life but must not be all the time.

If we must also help him financially and he is willing, he should also be ready for many advice because they need to be changed, there is a reason why we are all friends right and it is our duty to help each other at difficult situations.

Even with the current performance I am favoring Chelsea in this match for the another win but still this is going to be tough match because Newcastle United is suffering with injuries and other problems but still they can manage against Chelsea in this match which is trying to resurgent after worst time and their last few positive results are also indicating things can go for them to have better future in this season.

In last four away games they have 10 points which are clearly giving them advantage them in this game but Newcastle United home performance is also good which will try to overcome from their internal issues which are brought them down, but things could be not easy for them with most chances we can go for the Chelsea/Draw in this game but if Newcastle United overcome then surely this could be one of the best in this round.

If you are favoring Chelsea, I will advice you you not to bet on it because matches like this are very risky, you will be having this thought before the game begin and the next 15 minutes, your bet is on the verge of been loss due to one mistake from your favorite team, red card is even easy to get these days from players and then, the next thing they shame you for their incompetent.

Chelsea might have been a hot cake recently but Newcastle are bad ass as well, in their last matches, they have played in 3 different leagues and non they lost, they won it even beat Arsenal and Bournemout in their last two EPL, Chelsea really need to pull some extra forces to win that game because the more I look at it, the less chance I think will happen for Chelsea to win Tottenham.

Newcastle are not nearly as strong as they were last year. Due to injuries and a gambling scandal. Chelsea were good against Tottenham and City, but I draw the opposite conclusion from this: they are not a team that can be consistently good against good teams. Therefore, after good games, they should have a less successful one, and here I expect Newcastle to win.

Newcastle fumble in the beginning of the season, when every other prominent teams were making 3 points in their matches to compete with others, Newcastle were doing what I least expected from them due to their last season performance but they have started to pick up judging from their last 4 matches, they might pull some stunt in this coming match.

4.Be prepared for the worst and hope for the best: Be prepared for anything that comes later, the coin you are having in mind to pump may do that and might not do that. If you are lucky and have profit, enjoy the profits and if you don't make anything, he happy that you were part of the bull cycle, there is nothing guarantee in crypto because you don't know tomorrow. People that are saying bitcoin will go to $1M are all speculators and are just hoping it happens, nothing is guaranteed here, just be prepared and hope for the best.

Punch line from Lil Wayne Shocked
There is nothing great that beat this phrase and yet many people don't prepare for this in the bull run. People will plan but the market has a way of everyone and it will not favour everyone and that is exactly the mistake many of us do. Just because the market always pump every 4 years cycle doesn't mean it will repeat itself and if you have plan to use the anticpated profits to do something about your life, kindly cancel it because you might even be surprised that coins will not pump as we expected.

Many hands were burn during last bull run and many of them regret even buying some coins, it will take some time before they gain back the trust they have in this market. Maybe if their bags pump back and they realize back some of the losses they have made in the last bull run. So sit tight and tighten your belt very well.
552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is there an option for automatic conversion of a coin if we set fluctuation ? on: November 20, 2023, 05:44:38 PM
Suppose, I buy XRP and set limit of 15% fluctuation. The coin should immediately be converted into Monero if this happens. Is there any exchange which offers this function ?

Fluctuations you mean volatility? Volatility means up or down, do you mean price up or price down? I don't think this can be automated but trading bot can do the magic through API connection, I don't think inbuilt trading bot like Kucoin will work but an external bot will do the magic.

Alternatively, you can calculate it yourself using trade set up. Exchanges like Binance has trading future tools, you can simply use their tools to set up your sell order of 15%, when you trace the price and have that 15%, you can just use that value as sell order and if that price is reached, it will automatically sell your coins for you with out any bot or even monitoring the trade.

However, will you have xmr at such price fluctuations, is there something I'm missing? There has not been any reason cent development around xmr, perhaps you should look into other altcoins that are having some speculations and updates, 15% is a little thing to get from some of these altcoins like Solana, Avalanche and xpr, they are having some recent development and new updates.

Has anyone come across the news about Solana's upcoming airdrop of Pyth happening today? Here, I made a post about why alts are important and mentioned Solana airdrops in the last paragraph
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474528.msg63178295#msg63178295

Alt are only important for the people that want it and the people tya are running after it, they die immediately people don't focus on it again especially when there is another hot alt in town. What happened to some of the best altcoins on Solana? Didn't they died before now, many liquidity have been drain and the chances of them coming back is zero. The people who bought it are all stuck and can't sell.

Quote
So now, I'm wondering if it will follow a similar path to what happened with BONK. Recall when the Solana community minted the memecoin Bonk, and many benefited from it. Now, Solana plans to airdrop Pyth to over 900 wallets, and various exchanges like Bitget, OKEx, Bybit, and few others are already listing it. I haven't seen any information about Binance listing it though.

I'm just curious, what do you think about this? Do you think Pyth will follow the same trend as Bonk, or will this hype only bring volatility that could potentially wipe out users' assets? Also, which mentioned exchange do you believe will efficiently list Pyth earlier than the rest?

I don't vibe airdrop, they are just impressing the chain and marketing the chain to people to buy the coin(Solana), the moment the event end, the will sell off the coin and airdrop tokens and investors will be left with nothing. Check Bonk, the market cap and the traded volume, you will see that airdrop tokens all have similar pattern, at first they get hype up and in the end they remain flacid like weak tissues.

Instead of buying Solana in anticipation of been selected, why not use the money to buy other coins, remember that their is going to be a lot of farmers that will use bot to get the tokens any how and the chance of you getting the token might even reduce when they use anti bots to weed out other people, be careful of airdrops my friend.

Hello ,


what do you guys think of blockchain.com they are offering on EARN 7 % commision ,  this company has been in the game since 2011 is guess that proves it thrustworthy  company ?

what do you think ?

Let's put the % in one place. Why are you going to risk your coin with a company because you think they have been in the game since 2011, who knows if they are currently illiquid and they are looking for a bail out funds to keep the company running on users fund? I don't think it's a good idea to earn 7% from any company for staking irrespective of the coin service they want to offer you. That said, let's loom into the %.

I want to assume that % is for some altcoins especially altcoins, no sane company will compensate you with 7% because you keep your bitcoin with them. Come to think of it for a second, don't you think companies are there to make profit? They don't have free money to give you, they rather take from you and that staking is a strategy to gain from you guys. It might take time to get what they want from you but I assure you that they are going to gain from you and it will be big. Just do the  matches from their offers and you will understand that it's not worth it.

Up until now I have been just buying and patiently waiting for the bull run but in the last week I have seen 2 altcoins I was interested in pump up 40% in less than 24 hours so want to try make some money and give trading a go.

What is the best site for this in the UK?

I am only going to start with $200 roughly to see what I can turn it into over the next few weeks and months as the market is starting to get very volatile so could be good opportunity to make some extra money which would then mean I can invest more into my long term plays.

Are you trading for real or you are only trying to buy a coin to hold? Buying and holding is different from trading. You can buy an altcoin and hold it depending on the duration you want to hold that asset for, it could be for long term and it could also be for shorter terms and when the coin in particular is pump, you will have some gains but it's not an assurance because altcoins are very unpredictable, it's what you wish you might see happening later in the future.

Trading is great way to collect many % profit but you need the knowledge, you don't have to jump into trading if you don't really understand how to trade and how it work. You need to take your time to learn that but if you already understand trading, then you are good to go. I will suggest you look into Aptos, Sui, Ambitrum and Avalanche. These coins have been rolling out updates recently but please don't take their certainty from my mouth, do your own research.
556  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So since SOL is $60 - Means FTX is solvent again? on: November 19, 2023, 11:43:44 AM
Correct me if my math is wrong but if I recall from a year ago, FTX was $7B or so short and hence the bankruptcy. When they filed for bankruptcy SOL was valued at around $10 or so.

Right now its $60. And they held $1B worth of SOL, so now they hold $6B so far. There are also other tokens and coins which went up in value. FTT is even $5 today compared to <$1 a year ago. I think they own most of the supply of that token.

So is this another MtGox bankruptcy going out of insolvency due to crypto pumping?

Price manipulation at it peak on Sol and nothing more. Prior to before this pump, there were news from Cointelegraph when FTX where given court order to liquidate sol on the September of this year 2023 and the price tank for 5% and after some days, it recovered and since then, the founders are doing what they know best and that is price manipulation. They are building up the mountain chart so that when they decide to dump, it wouldn't kill Solana price but either later or sooner, the sol under FTX management will be sold because people are waiting to be compensated for their losses.

Solana might be this special to some people that miss the last bull run but I will avoid buying it because it's full of speculations. Sam is in jail awaiting his last trial before they sent him off forever. The case of stolen funds and other misdeed of the employees, it will take at least a year before this is get straight because seems there is no future in this.

Another thing is that, only Solana is pumping, the liquidity is revolves around sol and not altcoins that are under it because if you look closely, Solana doesn't have liquidity to revive the dead altcoins as token under it, the trust is gone for good but who knows, it might come back like ethereum if they build it into something different and cut ties away from FTX.
557  Economy / Economics / Re: How to spend money determines whether you can avoid unnecessary problems on: November 19, 2023, 11:33:58 AM
Most times, the ones who go to fancy and luxury restaurants, bars, etc, are always broke. They do it just ti show off (showing off what they do not have and may never have). Someone who is economical will know very well that cooking and eating at home will save money, sometimes you can pick a lower quality of what you want to get, just because you’re being economical and trying to cover everything you need to.

There is some truth in what you said but honestly, the rest is completely out of context. Restaurant and eatery are costly but we also have reasonably ones that sell good meals at cheaper rate, they don't hike the price of foods the way some do their own and they are even more healthier when you compare them to the ones with high prices. They are also in hirachy, eateries are bigger costlier than restaurant and restaurants are costlier than Buka; Eatery>>>Restaurant >>>Buka, in that manner.

The reason why you see people visit food places to buy food is not because they don't want to cook or doesn't have money or just showing off. The problem is that some people don't know how to cook, they have tried many times but it doesn't work because they are bad cook and has probably in their life never help their mom in the kitchen for once. Some people might want to cook but they don't have the time because imagine where you go to work from 6am to 6pm, it will be difficult to cook as an employed worker that is always busy from Monday to Saturday or even sunfdays.

You should also consider inflation, to buy food items to prepare a pot of soup might even be twice bigger than what you might even spend in restaurant, it's not "might", buying food right now to eat is more economical for a single person, but if you are married, then I think it's okay to consider cooking because it's better and economical to cook than buy food for 4 people.

We can reduce the price of particular goods by allowing and motivating different production companies to produce those goods in large quantities, there should be a price regulatory agency, their function should be felt, and their duty should be effective, a country like Nigeria doesn't is affected today by the high price of good goods because if lack of production and high cost of production and logistics, the food industry is not adequately handled, we keep on hearing we are going to do this or that all are in vain, in our locality people are ready to contribute their quota but the discouragement from the Government and private sector has made it almost impossible to achieve this mile stone.  

In Nigeria, our main problem in price fluctuations is lack of  price regulations agencies. Why will a country that is operating on socialism and capitalism and then someone who is not in his right sense jump out of his bed and then just feel to increase the price of goods and when others find out that there is increment, they jump into the trend without finding out the reason why and this why price of goods are jumping up the way they like, we need this price regulations except the government want to wake up one day and see that the Naira value will be reading hyper inflation.

I'm not sure for some other countries but in US, the expected number of inflation for the month of October was released last week and it was lower than expected and by that, price of items is going to reduce, even if its not that instantly, it will with time but there is one problem of inflation in nigeria. When the price of goods should go up, it doesn't come down again even if the government looks for a solution to protect people, they will never drop that price below, always citing that they have old stock and they will not sell at lower price.

Do you ever feel like that being after saving or investing for future you forget to live in the present? You don't buy the things you want to or don't go after experiences you want because you'd rather save/invest for future instead.

I have been here and I have past this level of financial timeline. This happen a lot when you invest all you have in the presence into the future and then you become uninterested in some things, sometimes you even have but doesn't just care because you have these believe of making it tomorrow. However, I don't fancy this kind of lifestyle because it make us forget to live the present to focus on the future and we forgot that we only live once, life is Yolo don't forget that alright.

I don't want to live the future and deny myself the present, even though investing is good, just know that nothing in life is assure. If you must invest, do it and make sure you are comfortable and not going around looking unkempt so that even when the money comes around, it wouldn't take you years to blend with the money you make and people will not start to ask you the source of the money gave you money over night.

Eat well so that when your investment ripe in the future, you get the chance to enjoy it and don't end up spending everything on your health, eat well and dress well so that you look good in the sense that when people see you tomorrow looking change, they wouldn't doubt your days of little beginnings.

I'm not good at math, so that may be why I can't win as much as some people. But I guess it's not like that because gambling is not that simple. Maybe there are other things involved in gambling and maybe gambling uses mathematics but we don't know for sure which ones. Or maybe math is used for some gambling games that require skill so if he is very good at math, he might be able to win a lot at that game. Well, maybe you're right. Maybe you are wrong too. But what about luck? That can't be calculated using mathematics, right? We can only wait for luck to come. But mathematics is also used to calculate the percentage probability of winning or losing. But it seems too difficult for me.

When he said maths, he wasn't making emphasis on that kind of maths you are talking about, maybe is actually talking about that real math but the other type of gambling you are talking about doesn't need real math's. All you need is your smart brain to be be able make good selection, good analysis and even if you make the first one and it doesn't work, then you can change strategy to increase your chance of winning, that's only way to enjoy gambling.

In all you do while gambling, make sure that you stick to your winning strategy, you don't have to follow the majority of others because they are playing and winning. I have for once bite the my fingers by that strategy. I was having mid loses in most of my games and then I saw this new guy that was hot that was winning that time, I follow up and instead of me to stake what I can afford to lose, I stake everything and guess what? I lost everything because  stake everything trying to chase my lost under 1 game. Hardluck that I don't pray to experience again in my life.
