1101  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⭐ GamblersConnect.com ⭐ Trusted Casino Reviews ✅ Casino Affiliate of The Year on: February 24, 2023, 09:58:10 PM
lately, a lot of trusted casino review sites have appeared on this forum.
but it's a good plan.
and my advice is to always improve in casino research that is truly trusted. because sometimes there are positive reviews that can be purchased so that the casino looks trusted even though it's a scam.

anyways, welcome to the forum
^Let me straight to the point, my own conclusion for a good gambling casino review is that based on the community not it is reviewed by a single person or an author only. Definitely right, it could be purchased or becomes a biased review just because of the big affiliate rewards your review becomes good. Now, we have a lot of gambling casino reviews here in the forum which is there is competition. If this will compete with them and I think it is good if more casino reviews will come so that there are too many to choose from.
But anyway good luck OP.

Since the OP already found this forum, he can improve his list especially the best crypto online casinos.
If you will notice, most in the list are not the top choices of the forum users here.
If the team will roam around the gambling board of this forum, they will understand why a lot of gamblers have different preferences over their list.
Anyway, they just introduced their site, so they still have a lot of room for improvement with their listings.

Of course him going around saying he is poor is a lie, it is basically a lie that he is trying to portray to court in order to say he didn't benefited from this bankruptcy and he is as much of a victim of it as everyone else. We know this to be wrong, he got super rich and not rich as much as he used to be, that much is true, but this proves that he is richer than most people.

Someone with tens of millions of dollars, even hundreds of millions of dollars can't just suddenly give up all of that because he bankrupted, he will try to hold on to as much money as he can, which will be caught of course like this and he will be even bigger trouble. Maybe he won't be jailed, but he will have a very difficult life for sure.

Definitely, he won't be disclosing all his assets to the public.
Being in crypto for so long, I am certain he knows where to stash his funds discreetly.
But if he deposited this early, that's when he got this wrong.
Most launderers or with current cases won't make a move with their funds while they are still in hot seat.
We don't know how much he is still hiding and where, but for sure, he has still those millions of dollars hidden from somewhere.

1103  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you keep your gambling habit under control? on: February 24, 2023, 09:00:14 PM
I've never had a problem with this so my advice isn't likely to be of much help. When I notice that I spend a lot of time/effort on something (not just gambling), then I make an assessment: how reasonable it is. If this does not benefit me, but rather takes time, effort, emotions, money, then I immediately stop doing it. By the way, in this way I quit playing online chess because they worried me too much  Grin

Not many have their self-assessment when it comes to gambling.
In my case, to know that I am still in control with my gambling, I always set a max limit that I can use for gambling.
I may go beyond a lil bit from that amount, but if I feel I can't recover my losses, I accept my fate for that session.
So for me, it is acceptance that you lost on a certain period, don't chase anymore if you go beyond your limit,
because you will incur more losses, and it is hard to recover. I just go back when I have my extra funds to play again.
1104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is easier to make bets on? on: February 23, 2023, 09:57:34 PM
Do sport like football betting and MMA betting carries the same risks or one is more profitable to bet on than the other? Which one is more likely to easily predict than the other?

The risk depends on your knowledge and expertise on the sports you're betting, you should be a fan or follower of the sports you're betting for you to win in the betting, both have risks in betting, some people will say Football is easy but one of our members lost a huge amount of money in the World Cup thinking that he has an easy bet.
Expertise and luck play a big factor because there are things like an upset, that is why betting in sports also has an element of surprise and risk.

Exactly, it is easier to predict if you know very well the sports you are betting with.
But if you are just guessing who will win on a specific sports, I would say, you are highly risking your money.
Choose the sports where you can say to yourself, you know all the athletes, their history as much as possible, and their abilities or strength.
But yes, upset does happen as you still have the blind side. How prepared is the player on a certain occasion?
1105  Economy / Economics / Re: Are people really having the wrong concept of savings? on: February 23, 2023, 09:41:49 PM
I do not think anyone should get the purpose of saving wrongly. People save for many reasons, like for nvestment, to tackle emergencies etc. You can even save money because you want to buy something that year or later and you do not want to go for installmental payment which will require paying more over certain period of time than buying at once.
Saving is a good thing, and anyone who try to save knows that it will be beneficial for him in the future. So I don’t believe that people may end up getting the wrong concept out from saving, as we all save for different reasons and goals. But saving alone has always its choice, either you save it and spend at the end of the year, or you save it for lifetime, it’s like saving for the bright future of your kids.

We have our own goals why we are saving for something.
Different goals, different amount of targets. Sometimes it is the people's savior in times of emergency needs.
What do you like happen - asking for a loan with high interest or using your savings when you are in dire need of funds?
I guess, it is much better if you can use your savings anytime you want without bothering anyone.
1106  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Life's first investment in Bitcoin by selling bicycles on: February 22, 2023, 09:49:46 PM
I think it's a nice idea investing in bitcoin, but I don't think it's really a nice idea selling your properties just because you want to invest, you should invest any amount you won't be using for now and also invest any amount you can afford to lose.

For your security make sure you blur some parts in the screenshot you posted, you don't have to disclose your wealth here. Also make sure you create a non custodial wallet and transfer your bitcoin to it, don't leave your coin on exchange, it's not really safe anything can happen to your coin at any moment.

And also try to resize the image's which you posted above.

If he deemed his bicycle was just sitting idle, then for me, it is good to invest to an asset that you believe has good future.
He is learning and who knows this small investment will be worthwhile later on.
This is just the beginning for him, and for sure, he will learn more on this market and start to invest more.
Congratulations to the OP for starting his first crypto investment, and good luck to your journey here.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: February 22, 2023, 09:18:24 PM
However, Donaire is now fighting a different opponent, so we'll most probably see the power that we're talking about in this fight.
That's guaranteed. The fact that Santiago does not have the KO power of Inoue means this fight might last longer if Donaire does not knock out Santiago. We all know that Donaire is still hungry for a win; he wants to be at the top again. And now that Inoue is not a hindrance anymore, he will certainly not waste this opportunity to come back at the top.

And I'm also under the same impression as well that Donaire will do anything he can to have that belt again and be a champion once more, I bet they are the ones who found Santiago because they can't just be sitting ducks without doing anything except from waiting, that's how determined they are to have a title fight as soon as possible as they also know that Donaire's time is fast approaching already.

Definitely, Donaire's camp needs to decide fast as he is not getting any younger.
As much as possible, finish whatever Donaire wants to achieve before his retirement.
I believe, he is indeed aiming to retire a champion with belts on, now that Inoue is out in this division.
This should be an easy fight for Donaire if he will show his technical skills as well as his strength inside the ring.
1108  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What is the future of bitcoin without powerful nations? on: February 22, 2023, 08:28:10 PM
Bitcoin despite too much opposition from big powers BTC is still holding its ground. Bitcoin it will continue to progress since it has a strong community that backs it up. In its one decade long journey there is no single big power that has accepted bitcoin in its decentralized state. Still we saw Bitcoin going from zero to 67k$ in one decade. I have no confusion in saying that big powers will continue to oppose Bitcoin and Bitcoin will keep going up due to backing of community that is distributed globally.

A very good example was when China, with economic power, made a ban on btc and crypto in general.
Yes, it had an impact at that moment, but look at where we are now, btc is still going strong.
With this scenario, it means, btc doesn't need backing from big powers, it will continue to exist as long as there is community supporting this market.
As we have observed, this market doesn't need powerful nations to survive, but of course endorsement from them would boost the adoption.
1109  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Litecoin and no downtime till now in 11 years on: February 21, 2023, 09:38:27 PM
It has been 11 years and Litecoin is still running like a champ. In these 11 years, it never went down. One of the biggest advantages for small merchants who want to accept payment in crypto. Many merchants prefer Bitcoin & Ethereum payment but Litecoin is also something merchants should consider accepting as a payment.

What do you think guys?


I'm a little confused by your phrase about how he never went down. What do you mean by that? Litecoin, like other cryptocurrencies, loses most of its value every 4 years. It does not differ much from other major projects in this behavior. The only big difference is that Litecoin didn't rise much in 2021, relative to the 2017 peak.

In terms of price, it has also a roller coaster ride in this market.
But maybe, the OP is referring to its service to the community, it is always up and running.
Actually, ltc is one of the alts that has still very cheap transaction fee which is indeed good for payment method.
And in addition, this old alt is present in most trading platforms, which is very favorable to users because they can convert their LTC to any crypto they want.
1110  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Do Gamblers Do This? on: February 21, 2023, 08:34:03 PM
They experienced fun without being able to handle the risk. They have just noticed it when they are already noticed their huge losses.
We all know that when we are having fun, we tend to forget the mistakes that we are making but not all gamblers are doing the same thing because there are also lots of gamblers who are responsible for their actions.
Posts about gambling addiction also serve as a warning, especially to those who are just starting their gambling journey.
All gamblers know the risks of gambling but it is not easy to overcome them when someone loses self-control of risk, this factor is very influential when someone recovers losses in gambling and they have bet above the minimum limit allocated for gambling funds.

I have reviewed many of the same threads about overcoming gambling addiction, although many of the same complaints but it's okay to provide useful tips for overcoming gambling addiction, the main tip is to limit gambling funds and gamble only for entertainment.

As we put it, people will only change their path when they suffer a terrible loss which can alter their lives.
Such as losing their family owed to their gambling habits, losing a trusted friend because of bad debt and others.
They will come to their senses when something that they loved most are starting to get away from their life because of their gambling losses.
Or in some cases, if they are soon to become homeless because of bad debts due to gambling.
We can't force a gambler to change, because it is the gambler himself who can truly make a change in his route.
1111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: February 20, 2023, 06:20:48 PM
---
Odds are already out and as expected, Mark Magsayo was listed as the huge underdog here which for me is a good thing because he is a very live underdog and could upset Figueroa come fight night. For sure i'll be betting for Magsayo here as i love betting on the underdogs but i'll still wait for some options if there are juicy markets offered in the next few days but if there are no better options, this ML is a good one for me.
That's cool, it makes me wanna bet to Magsayo as well. I really like Magsayo to win this one after his current match, I hope they will come up with good strategy to win against Figueroa. I always remember his name when he got an interview in our local media channels people are happy with him and very proud I hope people here will still do, as former champion I believe once a champion will always be a champion. He needs to redeem himself, I want him to KO Figueroa, just kidding.

As much as I wanted Mark Magsayo to win, looking at their statistics and how Vargas exposed the weakness of Magsayo, I think this will be a hard fight for Magsayo.  Figueroa is also a knock out puncher with higher percentage KO than Magsayo.  Figueroa has height and reach advantage.  This is where I can see the problem, since Vargas exposed the weakness of Magsayo, there is a chance that Figueroa will do the same tactic.  I hope Magsayo has new strategy and technique to bring at the table and be able to work around those disadvantages and win the fight.

Seeing the poll stats on this thread, wondering if some of them will indeed bet on Magsayo as the odds are quite attractive.
Magsayo should finish the fight as early as he can if he wants a sure win on this fight.
If not, if this would go the distance, high likely that Figueroa will win via UD.
Other betting lines are not yet available but maybe a week before the fight they will open more money betting lines.
Magsayo should not rely that he will land a lucky punch on Figueroa because it may not come if Figueroa's defense is good.
1112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: February 20, 2023, 05:41:43 PM
He's the challenger, and he needs this belt to add more hypes to his legacy,

after completing that unification from his previous division, now he's moving up to extend his legacy.
Fighter like him who care about winning are not afraid to take the risk. It will be nice since there's no news or any update that one of
the fighter is backing out, both are willing to take that shot from one another.
Inoue wants to prove that he can win and take Fulton's belt while the current champ will be tested. He needs to prove his worth as the
current title holder.


It's only right that his name is hyped because he's really good, so I hope he doesn't disappoint the fans who admire him greatly.

I hope he wins and gets the belt, because it's not just Inoue's fight but Asia's fight against Fulton. I'm not worried for Inoue in this fight. I think this champion is still too green to match up against the Japanese monster who could possibly become a Hall of Famer in the future.

No one is backing out because the WBO is making this fight mandatory. Inoue vacates the bantam division and played the mandatory card to Fulton which he has to fight. Fulton regardless of what seems to be a mismatch in terms of skills will face Inoue in battle.

If the event will be held in Japan, the more it will be a big advantage for Inoue.  I've read the plan is to coincide while Japan's CBDC will also be launched in a few cities including Tokyo.


Inoue is the favorite to win this fight. Though crypto bookies are not listing this yet, early odds are favoring Inoue.
If he vacated the bantamweight division, it means, he is determined to win on this weight division.
Home court advantage may only give him a lot of fans to cheer him up while inside the ring but we all know, the work is all on Inoue.
Now, we are waiting for the exact date of this fight so bookies can start including this match on their list.
If in case he will win easily on this weight division, it won't be a surprise if he will move up fast to the next one.

@Ivekzg

Any chance of adding few words about your tips? I know it is much more work but I like reading betting info and then making my own decisions rather than blindly following tips. For instance you can have the info that some club is missing several important defenders and choose to bet against that team. I would on other hand probably choose to bet on both to score since that is one of my favorite and most successful markets.


Sorry, but already posting here is time consuming and I don't have much time for writing why I chose picks. Picks are based on my own model and I am trying to do my best to find the best picks with value in odds.

Feel free to join my Telegram channel if you don't want to miss picks.

I am just curious here, how many years you've been in sports betting?
As you have several sports that you are following with, does it mean, you are familiar with all the athletes involved in those sports?
Because you will only be at least comfortable with your picks if you are well-informed with these athletes.
You have your own reasons why you are picking certain team or athlete for a given match, because as a sportsbettor, you should have
enough reasons why you are picking a certain team to win. Don't know if you will continue sending free signals via your telegram channel
or would later on, charge these followers for a certain fee, when you think you have more than enough of sharing your picks.
For sure, you have your reasons why you are doing this for free as of the moment. But let us see how long can you share your thoughts when it comes to sportsbetting.
1114  Economy / Gambling / Re: ✨ weeddaddy.io - New Crash Game - Weekly Giveaway | Free Faucet ✨ on: February 20, 2023, 03:23:54 PM
For the x100 wager requirement, rest assure that it is absolutely achievable with just a bit of luck 😉

lol, this must be a joke, we don't need luck to unlock that x100 wager requirement, the one who needs a bit of luck is you to attract new customers with those rip-off terms... x100 is zero-friendly and not attractive for the community.

I really like your user interface, but feel like those ToS are a bit abusive and that's why I will skip this one. But good luck with your project.
actually the betting requirements are very difficult by making it 100x, after all not everyone is always lucky in playing, it should be able to be changed to be friendly to all players because tough requirements might discourage people from continuing the game, I'm still not really serious about playing at here
For those who have enough money and luck can certainly meet the 100x wagering requirement, however, not all users of their gambling platform have this much money for this requirement.
Indeed, if it is better for the requirements to be simplified with the aim that all customers can achieve it and are really optimia for that.
I'm sure if the requirements are still so difficult and can only be achieved by certain customers then they will lose small gambler customers who prefer other gambling platforms.

They can always modify their wagering requirements if they observe that less or no more players are playing.
As much as possible, you want to attract players and not discourage with your requirements.
Also, they can add other unique games for players to have more games other than their crash game.
Just like many casinos here, they start only with dice game, but later on, they added more to catch up with the competition.
Continuous innovation on their platform will keep them afloat on this business, otherwise, players can easily hop from one casino to another.

Everyone copy Stake.com will not get clients this way if you are not unique
there is nothing wrong with copying stakes because there are many new gambling sites that do that (copy UI, UX and systems against old gambling sites that already have a reputation)

the important thing that actually has to be done by the development team from this site is promotion, because it really has a big impact on the branding of a gambling site
actually a lot of new casinos are copying old casinos but not overall it even looks like there are additional pages or something new is added there, after all that's not an important point to enliven this site what's important is the promotion carried out in this forum

It is understandable that we can see some similarities of these casinos because most don't start from scratch.
I am sure even the top casinos right now got their idea from existing casinos. They only make modifications according to the capability of their dev team.
Remember, the regular casino games such as dice, roulette, crash and others have been the regular games of most casinos.
They only vary how the features are presented to the players, they tweak it according to the casino's theme, color, presentation and others.
I have no problem with copying, so long they are not screwing their players and they are continuously improving their services.
1116  Economy / Gambling / Re: Bitnity.com - a community-driven gambling platform on: February 19, 2023, 09:53:51 PM
From what I have understand, they are going to choose 10 people randomly and the 10k $BTNTY tokens will be divided equally, so each person will receive 1k tokens on their account that is equivalent to $5  Tongue
Not 10k $BTNTY, that would be $100k $BTNTY divided with 10 so that might be worth the gas price. Bit i don't think there will be much staking going on yet. So far 0.62% of the tokens are staked.

But i have a mixed feelings about this as they haven't answered yet.
Their telegram announcement channel that has 3k subscribers, twitter has 6,790 Followers but can see from the explorer that they have under 100 token holders. I don't find that comforting. I know that trying to make new casino to combat big ones or even fit in could be nearly impossible job but i feel like buing used twitter account with more followers for marketing isn't a way to go.
The casino is relatively new, so that is obviously one of the reasons why they are not getting enough stakers nor many participants for the giveaway. Their official tweet only got around 480 views and 19 retweets which is not a lot considering they published the tweet a couple of days ago. I think they need to work more on their marketing campaigns along with giveaways and everything if they are really serious about running this casino.

Also, I've noticed they haven't been really active from the last couple of days, after the announcement. No retweets, no nothing, and that is probably the reason why they haven't answered any questions yet.

Sustaining the interest is really hard for a new site, as you need to keep up with your players.
If you are not up to this business, it will take a toll on your mental health, the reason why this business is handled by many individuals.
Very few casino tokens made it to the large trading market, and survive. So that's their challenge here.
A community-driven project is hard to sustain if the community itself is not eager to support it.
The ones handling this should think of ways how to attract and maintain the interest of their players.

We all know that Donaire is still hungry for a win; he wants to be at the top again. And now that Inoue is not a hindrance anymore, he will certainly not waste this opportunity to come back at the top.
This will be an exciting match up for both boxer, as they try to get the belt being left by Inoue and with Donaire, this is a big opportunity to reclaim a championship title so better for him to start working on this and be more aggressive. Santiago is young with a good record as well so Donaire should not be complacent here if he wants to get another win for his record. I’m rooting for Donaire here, I wish him a good fight and will be ready to place a bet for Donaire.

We will see if Donaire has still the power inside the ring, now that Inoue is out for this weight division.
I have the feeling that he wants to retire as a winner once and for all. Couple more years, and he's likely to hang his gloves.
I am rooting also for Donaire on this match, despite his age, because he is quite active so not hard for him to prepare for this fight.
Bookies may favor Donaire on this one, his current ranking  whether on The Ring, WBC or WBA is also higher than Santiago.

I'd call it the next 'big one' for this industry if incase. There's still more than a year before the anticipated fork but people are already focused with what is expected by many of us, based from the past of this industry. Well, not to close doors for the tendencies this year but the increase we are seeing right now is somehow not strong enough to be continuous 'til next year which makes it worrisome to many investors. But it would always be advisable to enter the market as long as you can endure market downfalls given that consistency is lacking in this industry. You are lso free to wait for clear signs to occur whether this year or on the next hard fork. Just be sure to gauge the odds and your capability as an investor.

If a holder has a long-term plans for btc, much better to accumulate satoshis whenever it goes down.
Because being a holder, you have a strong belief that someday, btc will rise up and so you will reap your rewards.
These days of waiting will be over very soon, so we should act before this event happens.
More than a year of waiting is sometimes not bearable for some who have their short-term plans.
The good thing in this market is anyone can speculate, but it depends on how you react on this to take advantage of the possible opportunity.
1119  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to run a bounty campaign? on: February 19, 2023, 08:32:13 PM
On the other hand I actually found it a bit funny about this when opening up the altcoin discussion because the initial 3 threads were like one after another in sequence.
Starting from this thread and there are two others below it

Becoming a Bounty Manager
Question about token holders for a specific project

although indeed for the third thread (second in the link) actually it doesn't really clash but it's a little interesting about the discussion here now. why are new people interested and trying to become a bounty manager Cheesy Even if there is no problem about it but this coincidence is too intentional.

And the problem is, being a newbie, I don't think project owners will hire them.
Very rare that they do hire a newbie here, unless, they are also part of the project.
Also, in my opinion, better do other tasks to earn money, rather than be a bounty manager.
Or maybe, try to promote one project like in article writing, social media promotion, just to feel how it goes for you.
Because even as a newbie, you can promote a certain project without having higher rank in this forum.
Also most bounty projects don't pay decent after the promotion is over. So high likely that you are just wasting your time.
1120  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 18, 2023, 09:57:32 PM
Match fixing or sports betting fraud is a big crime and unfortunately, the real beneficiaries for these are the national players and maybe the government is also involved in fraud of such a big level.
The real beneficiaries are the ones behind this match-fixing and it doesn't usually start with the players but with those big gamblers behind them.
The players are being used and gets paid for their participation but it isn't big compared to what these gamblers are getting from these fixed matches.
As for the government, if there's a government that's involved in match-fixing then that's truly a corrupt administration.

You can't eradicate this problem if bigwigs are the ones involved on this activity.
And definitely, not only in Brazil but in other countries as well, but it will be in minor leagues.
Hard to manipulate a game without controversy if they play this game in major leagues.
This is why most fixed games can be observed in small leagues where these bigwigs can put a good amount of money.
I can say, this gambling fraud won't stop so long there are big gamblers who want to earn huge profits along with athletes who can be bribed.
