102  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 15, 2024, 06:27:42 PM
As gamblers, we love more action, so we tend to make more bets on a regular basis. However, experts say that when we make too many picks regularly, our chances of winning decrease. This is due to the fact that we won't be able to analyze all the games carefully that are in our ticket and won't have the advantage needed to win. So instead, it's recommended that we should value quality over quantity if we want to succeed in sports betting.

Share your opinion regarding this matter.



Edit : I see that some replies are talking about parlay. FYI, this is not about parlay, it's about making many single picks on a regular basis. Please avoid using parlay when sharing your opinion.
I agree with the opinion that the chance of winning an event decreases. Using the example of boxing, there are a lot of values ​​that you can place a bet on: what round/points/knockout, etc. You need to be clairvoyant to guess all the outcomes of an event with accuracy. It’s easier to bet on victory or loss, so the chance is exactly 50/50. (Although there may be a draw on points)
Of course, there are experts who bet on several events, but you need to have a very strong understanding of the athlete and be an analyst of the highest category.
103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 15, 2024, 11:12:43 AM
~snip~
That would be nice but the problem is that no matter if that person new to gambling won and got away I think still he would be back at some time so most likely they will become addict as they will think that winning is easy and will keep losing becoming true gamblers.I don't know anyone that has done just that,won big and moved away from gambling and enjoyed life and never looked back.Difficult to do that so we have yet to see one such person.

Yeah, sometimes people get addicted very fast.

It's all in the mind, so they might end up in a bad situation after simply winning their first ever bet.

They think they can do it again, and then they lose all their money trying to win more.
indeed there were many cases when people won a lot of money and could be provided for until the end of their days but continued to play and lost all their fortune, I think big wins are very tempting and the player wants to try his luck again and with a high probability he will lose and later want to win back again .
I knew a person who played poker and became very dependent on it, he was waiting for the day when he would win back, but it never came. As a bonus, he received huge debts and he struggled with addiction for several years as he had constant breakdowns.
104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: January 14, 2024, 07:28:00 PM
After reading your article i realized that you are a profitable gambler and rich man. However to ensure saving money keep some of your gambling winnings in a safe place that will actually double as a mountain of money in the future. When i win big money from gambling then i buy good coins from crypto that will increase my money. But there are many people who can't ensure saving money even after winning because they use different sectors to manage their life. Personally i rarely participate in offline casinos but i am more present in online betting.
The author of the starting post believes that a deposit in a bank will give him the opportunity to pay taxes on winnings, but he did not take into account the fact that inflation can be greater than profit, that’s the dilemma.
And another important point is that losses are also taken into account, so perhaps there will be no need to pay taxes .There is a very cunning system, if this is a physical establishment, then you can receive the prize immediately with taxes deducted, as far as I understand, but online you will need to fill out the declaration yourself.
105  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: We dont own enough bitcoin on: January 14, 2024, 12:45:56 PM

If we have this mindset then we will always be trying to get as much of it as we can. Lets face it, getting BTC is at this point more rewarding for the average person than buying Real Estate, Gold, Silver, Oil stock, etc. Lets keep stacking! I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH!!! STACK SATS!!
For me personally, Bitcoin (and crypto) is not the main source of my savings, but only one of the methods. I had a period in my life when I thought it was a whole cult and was very fanatical about it, but this time has passed since I have been in this industry.
Of course, now is a good opportunity to buy more bitcoins for yourself while the price is more affordable. And in the topic they correctly said it is important not to forget to just live and not focus all your free time on bitcoin, everything should be in moderation and there should be a balance in these things.
106  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin ETF Approval; Price dumps, what Next? on: January 13, 2024, 07:41:50 PM
As the title suggests, we have all been waiting for this period for a long time, and it has finally here, yet the price of BTC remains low despite the high spot ETF Bitcoin trading volume. We were led to expect that the price would increase upon SEC approval, but the contrary is now happening.  What now?

We wait for the bull run to come, the one that will have nothing to do with news like this that triggers the market prices. Since bitcoin is dumping after the approval of the spot bitcoin ETF, I see it as a good opportunity to buy more bitcoin and keep in our portfolios. The bitcoin halving and the bull run are also fast approaching, we should try and maximize the opportunity of every dip in the market now. I just feel the bitcoin ETF saga is not yet ended, but before we see a massive change in the market again, let’s try and bag more bitcoin into our portfolios.
I believe that a lot of news simply warmed up the public and tried to make this the main event of the outgoing year. In fact, many like-minded people gathered in this topic who directly said that they did not expect a big rise, which in general happened, at the moment we have a correction that will be taken advantage of by those who are able to think several steps ahead.
I am also sure that we will hear about the ETF more than once, but for now the best position is to continue accumulating btc.
107  Economy / Speculation / Re: Can Bitcoin Drop to Zero? on: January 13, 2024, 02:47:34 PM
Former deputy governor, BOE believes Bitcoin can drop to zero. I wonder what his opinion is at the moment.

"Their price can vary quite considerably and they could theoretically or practically drop to zero." Jon Cunliffe saiid.

And what's the different between theoritical and practical drop to zero for BTC?

Can the price theoritically drop to zero but practically trade above $40k. Kinda confusing.
Theoretically, anything can happen, that’s what the theory is for. But in practice, this is a completely different matter. In order for Bitcoin to fall to zero, all that is needed is for all exchanges to abruptly stop trading and hundreds of thousands of traders at one moment agree with this and come to the conclusion that from this second it no longer has any value.
This is why I think that this is practically impossible, because at the moment there is no such event, even in the near future, that will force everyone to abandon Bitcoin and drop its price to zero.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land-based Casino Enjoyers are something else. on: January 13, 2024, 12:03:34 PM
That's the most hilarious you've seen or a gambling addict or too focus on gambling can do? Try searching more; there are more insane happenings that gamblers could do. I saw some videos about gamblers in a casino establishment staking even their clothes as if they were branded or expensive, and worst of all, they even lost them, and they gambler barely just their underwear. This situation is caused by them being emersed in gambling and living the right way of thinking, but if they go through this situation, it's a bad thing because it means that they don't care about their well-being; they just want to gamble until they are satisfied, but worst of all, they will keep on gambling until they can't. We can see the worst situation a gambler can be in while they are in the establishment of the casino—much worse, they can't control themselves anymore.
Yes, this is the other side of the industry. Often we are shown casinos only from the best side about how fun they are and people have a good time. But this video that the author pointed out really surprised me. I understand that people can have gaming addictions, but to be passionate about the game not feeling natural needs is something I see for the first time.
Also, the author of the starting post says that this is another reason not to go to a casino, here I disagree. Because of an isolated incident, you should not reject the entire industry at once. Curious cases happen everywhere and always. Anything happens in an amusement park, too, but people don't stop going there.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 12, 2024, 12:11:16 PM
Fellow experienced gamblers, your brief contributions would also be valuable.

Play only for the amount that you don’t mind losing in a moment.Don’t wait and don’t get upset that you didn’t manage to catch the jackpot or the bet didn’t work out. Treat the game only as entertainment and not just another way to make quick money.
do not spend money on bets and play only with your own, while having part of the budget for this and not playing with all your money.
110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 11, 2024, 10:20:29 PM
There was a friend of mine who visited me a day after and he was saying gambling every day draws you more closer to winning.

I asked him how?

He said when you keep trying luck every day you stand the chance not to miss your luck of winning, he also made reference to few people around our locality who won outrageous Money within 31 Dec to 1 January 2024, asking if I knew how often those people keep trying for them to have the winning they got.

I said No! He then say the more you space the more I missed my chances of winning but what I came to understand is that, the more anyone keeps trying the slimmer such persons turns into gambling addiction becus such person will always want to gamble regularly stirring up some forms of pressure to himself. When there is no money to gamble such person don't mind going extramile to source for funds since he has install this mentality of regularly gambling without giving break.

My question is do you think gambling every day is better? From his reasoning and points of narrations.
101% definitely not worth doing this. It is not possible to concentrate on the game if you play it every day, most likely it will cause addiction or, on the contrary, will remove the desire to ever play again, but rather the first point. And the third most important point, where to get money for daily games? or how to combine this with the main work? Your budget and nerves will run out very quickly if you play every day, you need to enjoy it and be judicious in your actions.
111  Economy / Speculation / Re: Short term corrections could be detrimental. on: January 11, 2024, 09:10:00 PM
I am very certain about the bullish market season after the halving, and as such my advice to any true crypto/BTC investor who may become millionaires in the next 12-18 months, would be to hold tight and not let any short term corrections stop them or put them out of the market until the duration of their holdings is complete.

What are your thoughts?

Only short term investors are waiting for this approval so that they can take their profit when bitcoin price moves up as a result of the news. Long term holders are still waiting for the real bull run to come before they will sell and not the news hype that will make the market rise for short term and still goes back to its normal trend level. Long term holders knows what’s ahead and they’re prepared for it and not carried away by the approval of the spot bitcoin ETF.

This is indeed a great opportunity for short term investors to take quick profit but as there was so much of hype about ETF approval and finally it has happened so there would be equal amount of FOMO as well which will stop some of them from selling out because of upcoming halving as sometimes price can fluctuate so quickly that we will not be able to catch up with the price and end up regretting like I did when I sold SOL around $25. Smart investors can quickly sell around $48K and try buying back at a lesser amount.

But, yeah the long term investors won't bother about this.
I chose the tactics of long-term investments. Now I don’t care much about what’s happening on the market, whenever possible I just strengthen my portfolio with bitcoins and wait for the halving first, there will be a correction, and more than one in these 3-4 months, so there’s definitely no need to worry. But those who are in altcoins should be nervous because they will be attacked much more strongly than the main assets.
112  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bull run begun ? on: January 11, 2024, 05:18:21 PM
This may be a short bull run, as bitcoin investors fear the approv of bitcoin ETF. But this hope has been fulfilled so the Bitcoin price has shown an upward trend, but I think the Bitcoin price will increase after the Bitcoin halving. A look at the history of each Bitcoin halving shows that the year following the Bitcoin halving saw the highest bullish market in the Bitcoin price. Since the 2024 bitcoin halving is cyclical, I expect to see peak bitcoin prices next year.

At the moment, the ETF has met my expectations, at least mine. I read the opinions of some analysts who predicted growth to 50k for Bitcoin, but I considered this to be too optimistic a forecast.
I personally have more expectations from the halving than the adoption of the fund, this event will be much larger since it will affect the entire industry in one day. The only plus for today is that many altcoins were in the green zone and reacted better to the ETF than Bitcoin.
113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Finally ETF approved on: January 10, 2024, 10:05:36 PM
Yep! This time it looks for real!

It's strange that the market reacted more dramatically to the fake news yesterday than it did today. Traders appear to be more cautious now.  That was likely the intention of yesterday's "hack" of SEC's twitter account.

Trading will be open only tomorrow and perhaps then the market will react fully. During this day, anything can happen and the securities commission will change its mind at the last moment or make changes.
Yes, you are right, yesterday’s tweet ruined the mood of many and the market reacted instantly to that that the news turned out to be fake.
--------
While I was writing this message, the market had already reacted and everything was already green.
114  Economy / Speculation / Re: will the btc price reach 100k ? on: January 10, 2024, 03:18:34 PM
it is still very difficult for the price of bitcoin to touch the price of 100k dollars. even though this year entered the year of halving. if the price is getting higher, people will rarely use it for transactions because sending fees will also be more expensive. the dilemma of the crypto currency world is like this, the higher the price, the more people use it but the more it decreases because the sending fee is getting more expensive.
These are temporary problems with transactions, the mempool is now overloaded but this is temporary. And the commissions are not that big in reality. Do you remember what crazy commissions were on the Ethereum network? Hundreds of dollars per transaction, that’s what was really the problem.
if you look here: https://ycharts.com/indicators/bitcoin_average_transaction_fee  The graph clearly shows that there is a decline, everything will soon return to normal.
115  Economy / Speculation / Re: 112 days waiting for bitcoin halving!! on: January 09, 2024, 06:00:30 PM
Hoping that the same history can occur in Bitcoin in a market moment like now is not wrong because today Bitcoin has risen again to more than $45K and it could be quite possible to move to $50K if the correction is not too big in this short time. So it is appropriate to continue accumulating from now on and hope that the same thing can happen as has happened after previous ATHs in the past. I am also quite sure that Bitcoin will continue to approach the ATH price this year and could even be more than that.
Bitcoin keep stable to raise higher price after many time get crashing indeed fake news about ETF Bitcoin not approval, close with halving left under 100 days make it easy how many time bitcoin get drop but as soon possible recovery and raise higher price again. Based on any rumor likely ETF one step closer will approve bitcoin and good news to see new all time high for bitcoin exactly before halving time.
Still memorize with last all time high price around $65k and optimistic with next time halving without 100 days later bitcoin price potential raise more than $70k.


Keep accumulate your bitcoin fund and never panic with many bad issues exactly with ETF reject will losses opportunity for selling bitcoin on all time high price later.
I think accumulating Bitcoin now is the best strategy. The market will fluctuate until the halving and I’m ready for any scenario, even if the ETF doesn’t approve, nothing bad will happen, I only see this as an opportunity to buy more if the price collapses from negativity and unrealized expectations. Only the most will win patient, we have seen this more than once.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Health Benefits of Gambling on: January 09, 2024, 01:33:25 PM
Maybe we can get something from it if we win but also we can be a healthy individual if we are not asking to much about it and instead just enjoy the experience we encounter. But unfortunately that's not actually happen in the since since commonly we can see people gamble because they want to earn a easy money from it and they didn't realize some things that its important to settle up our expectation since this is our main enemy while gambling since we always look for unrealistic way that's the reason why there's a lot of gambler lose since this people always think about huge pot prize to take home by them if luckly they win in the contest held by a casino.

Many people fall into the trap of solely focusing on winning a large prize without considering the potential negative impacts on their well-being. Many people gamble with the primary goal of earning easy money, which can lead to unrealistic expectations and, ultimately, losses.

How do you think individuals can strike a balance between enjoying the thrill of gambling and maintaining a healthy perspective on the potential outcomes?
The first thing worth saying: this is that you need to play only for an amount that you wouldn’t mind losing.
The second important aspect is not to make gambling the meaning of life and as a habit. If you want to play constantly and no matter at what cost, this is already an alarming signal that the player has an addiction that will lead to bad consequences.
Therefore, you need to play responsibly to yourself, first of all,otherwise you can lose all your finances and get into debt, and this is not the worst thing that can happen.
117  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bull run begun ? on: January 07, 2024, 10:13:09 PM
With the current performance of Bitcoins, should we say that the Bitcoin bull run has begun or we should expect the real bull run  after the halving as usual.
The current market state is already bringing joy, is this a sort of trap or what could have led to the current positive market performance.

I do really think, sharing experience can help one learn and avoid the shock of greediness on investment. Tell us your view on bitcoins market performance recently

No one will tell you for sure, since it is practically impossible to predict this; there may be many factors in the market that will instantly raise the market or bring it down. The general mood now shows that people are trying to accumulate more bitcoins and are preparing for halving, and I am also doing this same.
Closer to the event itself, I will also sell altcoins to strengthen my portfolio; there will be growth before the halving, but no one can say with 100% probability what will happen next.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mental rehabilitation clinic. on: January 07, 2024, 08:17:58 PM
Imagine that there is such a rehabilitation clinic for people who are addicted to gambling. Now imagine what they treat there without the use of pharmacology.
    The main doctors there are gambling specialists, whose task is to convince you that you do not need to gamble. Your task, for example, is to prove that the patient most likely has a disordered game. In order to have long-term income, you need to have a gaming system. And not just a system, but a fairly innovative system of forecasting and risk management. Most likely the patient does not have it and never had it; otherwise he would have been successful and would not have ended up in rehab.
    It is also necessary to find something for the patient to do instead of playing, so that he can occupy himself.
Now imagine that this gambling expert is you. What arguments will you give? What will you tell the patient about?
       Please note that the patient will resist to the last. He will give counterarguments. For example, that he will get rich in the future, he’s just not lucky yet.
    What other arguments do you think the patient will give? How do you respond to these arguments of his?
Great topic for discussion!
Out of curiosity, I read on the Internet how gambling addiction is treated, and basically we are talking about working with psychologists and maximizing distraction from games by finding a new hobby.
I would take a different path and do a detailed analysis of the history of games with numbers of wins and losses and the general financial condition before and after. I think that the patient who ended up in the clinic will only have negative results both in terms of games and finances and this will be the main argument why he needs to stop playing, and then the work of psychologists to consolidate the result.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 07, 2024, 04:39:34 PM
Everyone is opting for online gambling offline gambling is completely illegal in the country where I am staying. The law provides severe punishment when caught by the law enforcement agencies. I think online gambling is safer than that. No one has any rules here no one will know when to play how to play even someone close to you will not understand easily. All the news will remain in itself the government and legal forces can do nothing.
There is no doubt that playing online is much more convenient today, there are many platforms with gambling. But it is really important how the law treats this and whether gambling is allowed. But there is also a second option - poker with friends. I think this will be relevant even with the strongest prohibitions from the state and laws regulating gambling.
120  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin investment is kind on: January 06, 2024, 05:31:44 PM
Probably many people has invested in bitcoin and they got profit and some also got loss for the investment, also some people have converted their business payment with bitcoin instead of making payment with fiat currency but nevertheless you can not decide to follow a steps of someone who benefited with bitcoin and open a shops and demand payment with bitcoin,

So myself I have decided to launch a vehicle parts shops in my city by January 2024 and I have decided to use Bitcoin as one of the criteria of payment because of what I'm seeing for bitcoin increment and my country that permit for cryptocurrency transaction in my country, secondly I want to start having my own bitcoin with the payment of my vehicle parts, I don't know if mempool of bitcoin I have being hearing will still continue by next year 2024 because I sense that it's what will bridge people not to make a payment with bitcoin if i open by January 16th, because all the necessary arrangements has already put in place and  awaiting for January 16th to open officially.
Due to the fact that there are problems in the network, it is worth having alternative options in another crypt, the idea is good with opening a store and paying for goods in Bitcoin.
But carefully study the market in your area, how solvent are those who will pay with cryptocurrency? Perhaps this is an alternative savings? not a payment method for other people. In any case, this is an interesting function and news about your store will spread very quickly.

And if the local media writes about it, good advertising is guaranteed for you, good luck to you.
