1261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Security measures in casinos are better than exchanges! on: August 25, 2023, 08:32:08 PM
I don’t believe this because as what I’ve noticed, there are also some hacking incidents on gambling sites wherein not only they stole money but also the personal information of the gamblers as well, or they hack some online casinos just to make the games rigged. However, it’s also undeniable that hacking in centralized exchanges is high simply because there is huge money in exchanges. That’s why be cautious not to put all your hard-earned money in exchanges, as they can be very unsafe for fiat or crypto deposits especially on unsecured centralized exchanges.
1262  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes the win is right in front of us-little tip to sport bettors on: August 25, 2023, 09:51:53 AM
How many of you overlook this simple fact which can lead to bet wins?

Well we really don't know if we have overlook them until it was too late and our bets lost and then we quickly analyze that like what you said, it was in front of us and yet we might have overlook it.

And this is just one example that when we are really into our sports and been analyzing games, it quite certain that it become overly complicated on our end that we bet on teams that again, we might have overlook resulting in one big lost and regrets on our part.
Exactly. Betting and analyzing which team to bet is still a challenge for all bettors, and since it’s still a game of chance and luck, no one can guarantee if it’s a win or loss. That even by not overlooking those information that you’ve said OP, I still think those are not enough to guarantee your profits. Although sometimes the winning bets are just in front of us, but nobody can tell actually until we see ourselves finally losing our bets.
1263  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: August 25, 2023, 08:27:27 AM
Gambling sites are not like your bank account that you can safely put your money and save it for future purposes. It’s a site for gambling, so definitely if you deposit your money into it, then it’s for you to gamble and entertain yourself. However, if you tend to gamble almost everyday, then maybe you can deposit your money in advance and save it for your weekly budget. But still, I don’t suggest doing it because gambling sites may easily stop its operation without prior notice. Once the site is closed, I don’t think your money will still be accessible for you.
1264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Inoue vs Tapales for Unified Super Bantamweight Title - November on: August 24, 2023, 04:00:32 PM
And we have to think about it, Tapales might have a slim chance to unify the belts because he is fighting Inoue. But at least he will give it a shot as he is familiar to be being the underdog again and then pull the biggest surprised.

I don't think it's Tapales who will pull off a surprise by beating Inoue. Inoue is currently in his prime, and he is a very dominant boxer. As we saw in his previous fights, his opponents are even afraid to go toe-to-toe with him, as they know one mistake is likely to result in a knockout loss. Tapales may be too confident because he trusts himself greatly, which is a good quality for a boxer. However, as a fan, we know that Inoue isn't going to take this lightly and Tapales might suffer the same faith of the boxers who tried to challenge Inoue.

Tapales being gutsy will help him in his fight but that doesn't mean that his chances are increasing along with it and I also think that him having this kind of manner is only to help selling the fight as this is his best shot in having the biggest paycheck in his career. So, it may be a win or lose at the end of the day, but it's surely a win-win situation for him and an honor as well because not all boxers had the chance to fight against someone like Naoya Inoue.

Getting a financial advisor isn't cheap because their job is not that easy either and that is why when making a move like this, we should make sure that it's only a temporary situation so that in the long run, we will see our gains instead of only thinking about the funds we're paying for them instead of seeing it as a profit. It will be waste if we're hiring them as long as we're living in this world because we're not on of those billionaire tycoons that are gaining millions even while they are sleeping and isn't that bothered about the fees they are paying for their advisors.
Getting a financial advisor is really wasting money because they only talk about money management, investment (low, middle, high risk), and how to invest. They might not completely understand about each investment they offer, Bitcoin can be an example. They know the definition, how to use it and how to use an exchange, but they don't know with non custodial wallet, verify signature etc.

It's mean you're either need to learn by yourself or hiring a consultant that completely understand with Bitcoin.

Why would it be a waste of money if you are also benefitting from the situation? The main reason why you are going to hire them in the first place is to get your financials straight as an arrow and help you to maintain what you have without losing it in just a few years, they will offer you some of the investments that they think can be benefit you because that what they do but it will all fall under your confirmation if you find that suggestion suitable for you.

Well, if you already understand how bitcoin works and how to take advantage of it then surely there is no need for you to hire an advisor. But since we're talking about the majority here, it's safe to assume that they don't know how it works or how to start a business.
1266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: August 24, 2023, 02:49:10 PM
Well, if I know that some star players will miss the next game I will think about my bet twice. And if we adjust our bets depending on the players, for sure these players affect the odds as well. Many factors play a role in creating odds in betting, but I guess we can be sure that the "status" of some players plays one of the significant roles in creating odds.

It is also about the mystification of some names and talents within the world of sports, specially in football/soccer. It just take a look on how Messi dingle handily managed to make the difference within the Miami Inter and its recognition around the world. Sure, a single player does not make a team but reputation cannot be underestimated.

If Argentina was to play in a World Cup, for example, and his star player was not able to participate for whatever reason, I think there would be people who would feel reluctant to bet as much as they planned to.  So, yes; I think some single players can move the odds on bookies.

 

Funny enough is the truth that there's a star player in every team. Some just shine brighter than others.
 In my opinion, It is not sufficient to make bookies give odds just to favor a team over another, unless it is that there are more star players, team spirit, in that team, compared to the other team.
If a team has like 3star players and want to play a match against a side with 5star players, it is obvious to say that 5star man team gets great odds.
I also think if a team has been known to produce or harness star players consecutively, it has good impact on their odds following a match bet.

I think that is already given because these bookies are always one step ahead on us bettors, it's like they always have a solid inside information before that same information reach to us which will also mirror the odds that they will give in a specific game. A team that has more star players means that they are likely to win, not guaranteed though but in-terms of chances, they have an edge against the other team.

I don’t have to chose because if you can be a profitable gambler and trader at the same time, then I would love to keep them both. You know it’s not that hard to profit from gambling as long as the chances to win is high, but in trading, everything should be done with knowledge and skills, and of course with caution. So if you think you’re capable enough to win on your trades, then do not stop from trading. Same with gambling, if you’re making relevant profits out from luck and some strategies applied, then continue to gamble but also gamble at your own risk.
1268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Stay Safe and Avoid Scams When Gambling Online on: August 24, 2023, 09:06:36 AM
Gamble on the most trusted and reputable online casino for you. As scamming online becomes rampant, then stay away from new online casinos that are offering too good to be true prizes. Although I’m not saying this in general as there are still reliable new online casinos but hey, let’s face the reality that a lot of them are built to scam people particularly those new gamblers that still want to explore different online casinos. So stick to those casinos that have positive reviews and in which you have also experienced playing from them.
1269  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Personal favorite on: August 23, 2023, 10:00:22 PM
I've had the best luck, the fastest withdrawal and deposits from https://www.bitcoincasino.us/ they do require a 3x wager of amount deposit but the cash out immediately. What do any of you think?

Not familiar with that casino so if I where you much better if you stick or decide to play on a casino which have good reputation in this forum since they can be more trusted when dealing with our winnings and other technical issues  might occur. As other stated you are so lucky you withdraw your funds since at first glance they are shady casino and can't trust them if on first glance they already have negative ratings from this community or on other site.
Same here too. It’s my first time hearing the name of that casino so I can’t tell if it’s legit or not. Do not rely on first withdrawal results as they might be tempting at first. But make a research or read some reviews and feedbacks before you put your money on it. If you are sensing some future scams, then avoid it as early as now. It’s still best to play on reputable casinos you know that have already build their names in years, rather than taking risk in new casinos that you’re not even sure if they will be the reason for your big losses once you start trusting them.
1270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can’t cope on my own. What do you think I should do? on: August 23, 2023, 09:14:57 PM
There's a chance if they're just lucky by giving correct prediction, but there's a chance if they're a legit channel.

Since the result you're using their predictions are good, I can't comment too much especially you're also know if there are so many scam channels.

Always remember this, gambling is only for fun, don't really looking to make money through gambling. If you're looking for money and you're not win after joining their VIP zone, then gambling isn't for you.
I can sense that scamming will about to take place after series of winnings, that’s why I can’t push you to subscribe on this VIP zone. However, you should know also if you are sensing a scam since you’re quite gambling for long now so probably you have heard already stories about gambling scams. But still, in the end, if you still want to try, then go but never risk big amount of money. You can subscribe now but when you see you’re not actually winning then unsubscribe from it immediately. That’s the only solution so you won’t never regret things in the future.
1271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sudden Wealth Syndrome (SWS) In Gambling on: August 23, 2023, 01:48:49 PM
Keeping the winnings secret can't lessen the SWS IMO, the best move I think is to seek out financial advisors.  Since we are not familiar in financial management, it is not bad to look for advice on things we are not familiar with.  We don't have to expose that we won a huge amount of money, since we have the right to keep our financial status secret, but getting advises, and knowledge about financial literacy often saves us on this kind of syndrome by knowing what to do next.

I also agree that we should not live our lives in a luxurious life, boasting about our financial capability, it is always best to have a low profile, this will save us from lots of dangers and headaches.
I like the idea but will this not make us spend more by hiring a financial advisor? I mean, I know they are good but aren't they also expensive? I have not tried seeking advice in this kind of way and I have never known anyone who is in that field so I don't really have a clue about what they do and how much they are charging people.
I do have a bad way of being like a one-time big-time spender whenever I feel like there's a big spare of money in my wallet. But I do use it for the good of my family and not for any hobby, bad habit, or selfish desires. Still, there must be a way to lessen that but in my head, I always think that financial advisors are just for the rich which I think is too much of a pessimistic point of view.

Getting a financial advisor isn't cheap because their job is not that easy either and that is why when making a move like this, we should make sure that it's only a temporary situation so that in the long run, we will see our gains instead of only thinking about the funds we're paying for them instead of seeing it as a profit. It will be waste if we're hiring them as long as we're living in this world because we're not on of those billionaire tycoons that are gaining millions even while they are sleeping and isn't that bothered about the fees they are paying for their advisors.

I don’t know how serious the trade scenario of Karl Anthony Towns for Damian Lillard was, but apparently it was serious enough for Portland to comment that they don’t want KAT. I’m a little surprised by that, as I don’t think they’re going to be able to get a better player for Dame, but maybe they just want lots of draft picks or something.

That is a big sign that the Portland Trail Blazers are now looking forward to rebuild their team and carve out a new franchise image from the future picks they could get out of Dame because they specifically denied the Timberwolves request in giving KAT and some other future trades in-exchange for Dame Lillard.
Furthermore, Blazers are seems to be still sticking with what Dame wants by giving the Heat a chance to make a good trade but up to now, there are still no signs that both teams are going to agree with something to make it a done deal.
1273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: August 23, 2023, 12:20:23 PM
There is no set profit for gambling and you should never see gambling as your main source of income. If you have more money then you can enjoy gambling some money as entertainment. But in gambling your luck is more dependent so if your luck is good you can earn more money.
Of course, when playing gambling we must be able to control the finances that we are at stake because we have to use some of the money we have for daily needs, and in gambling we are willing to lose the money we have and if we lose, we are ready to accept it. So someone who plays gambling must be disciplined and careful not to overuse his money, because gambling cannot be predicted that he will always win, he may lose and we are ready to accept that risk.

Might be easy for us to say but I bet that up to now, we or it's just me, sometimes go overboard even for just a little bit, not because we chase our losses but for some other reasons that enticed us to go over the supposed betting budget. It's not that we don't know about this at all as we've been gambling for years now, it's just that we are still humans which makes us prone to make some mistakes which are quite inevitable specially when it comes to gambling. In the end of the day, it is what it is.
1274  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: August 23, 2023, 09:59:07 AM
I’m always hopeful that btc will eventually recover and surge high again until it surpasses its previous all time high. But seeing the slight movement in its price hike, I don’t think hitting $69k again will be possible this year. However, I’m not closing doors to the possibility also that it will eventually reach another all time high, higher than its previous ATH. Just remember that everything is still possible with bitcoin. It can be a lot surprising at some point, just like reaching its new all time high way back 2017 when everyone else is not expecting a very bullish market.
1275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos Should Also Be Prepared For Health Emergencies on: August 23, 2023, 08:49:18 AM
They are already prepared with any kind of (First Aid Kit)

But, do you know? most of the kit is only for the common case. Cardiac arrest (heart-attack) is not really a common case (it's really rare to be happening) and most of service provider is also are gonna to provided the same things that casino provided.

They are ready, for any kind common issue because that was the most they're facing.
I think when you enter into reputable casinos, it’s already given that they are also prepared to extend their emergency help in times of unforeseen incidents. However, you are right, having a cardiac arrest is not a common case as it’s very serious that needs immediate medication from health professionals. So if you think you have heart problems, be sure to take your maintenance medicine first before you gamble in casinos. That way, cases like this will be avoided and should not put the blame into the casino management.
1276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos games are not made by the casino teams but... on: August 22, 2023, 09:19:33 PM
What’s certain for me is that if the casino really intends to manipulate or cheat through their games, of course they all have the control and access to make it happen. What’s the use of owning their own casino platform if they can’t manipulate their own games? I believe there is nothing to argue with that. Just because of the fact that these games are already made by trusted and reputable providers, then they can’t be rigged if the casino really intends to do it. It’s like your money, your rules, same like it goes with casinos, it’s their own platform so they can manipulate everything that belong to their possession.
1277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I will pass KYC later is a bad idea on: August 22, 2023, 08:40:09 PM
If you trust the casino and you're a big bettor and you think that you could win a big amount of money and you don't want issues when you want to withdraw huge money then go ahead if there's an option to verify your account, once you sign up in a licensed casino you should expect KYC, you should expect unexpected winning, but this does not mean that you will not encounter issues with your account, even if you did a KYC they can still ask you for additional documents.

There's no such thing as safe marking in a casino, if there's an issue in your account and their security triggers an alarm you still have to prove your innocence or ask you to do another verification.
If you're going to face all of this it's better to face this issue where you will have a fair chance and that is in a reputable casino.
At some point you’re right. Casinos will never stop asking for another KYC verification unless they become satisfied with your identification details. Most especially if you have big unexpected wins, then always expect that the casino will keep an eye on you. Although I could say that asking for KYC is a must protocol for casinos these days, but sometimes we can’t help thinking that casinos would never want us winning, otherwise we will be requested again and again to submit another identification document and it’s certainly become a hassle for us.
1278  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 22, 2023, 02:56:41 PM
It's just part of the game as well, specially entering the NBA, there was a big hype surrounding Zion's name and that he will be one of the best in the NBA. But so far, we can say that's all a disappointment, specially now that critics is highlighting his failure with his injuries.

But the good thing is that he still has a lot of legroom to work and recently, we've seen his body transportation in the off-season and just like what most of us fans or non-fans of his are saying, he is now a monster and scary looking dude with all the muscles and we can only hope that it will prevent him from getting injured as he added muscle can help him from those landing and pounding he put on his body.

The problem with Zion now is more mental than physical. Physically, he can develop himself into a less injury-prone big man with the progress he is making. So, I hope people will not stop supporting him and will be more optimistic. This young superstar is trying to bring fun to the NBA, and we don't want to see him end up as a big disappointment. As long as he is still playing and trying to regain himself, he still has a chance.
I agree that the biggest problem that Zion currently has to deal with is mental problems because physically he is a young basketball player with a black and muscular body so it is impossible if he has physical problems.
After all, injuries are not the biggest obstacle for Zion to become desperate because injuries can still be cured, especially since he has pretty good fitness and still hopes to be able to win the NBA one day.
After suffering an injury last season, Zion has now transformed into a man who looks stronger so it is hoped that next season we can see him play and win every game there is.

Hopefully it's not just the hype that he will be a better player someday because eventually, he should be the one to pull himself together and be able to live with the hype, he just need figure it out how to get out of his current situation because the key is already within him.
You know, it is more impossible to think that he got no chance because just like you guys have said, he's still relatively young and his DNA doesn't match the description where he's already too late now.

1279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: August 22, 2023, 01:31:42 PM

Of course not, even though I am in great need of money and way too desperate to win, I will never attempt to do that. Thus, nowadays gambling systems are more strict so you are just putting yourself into risk because your account may be banned or restricted and you don't want that to happen right? Just play fair and have fun, because that's what it should be about. But really, is cheating in gambling possible? I only knew about systems having problems and malfunctions but haven't heard of cheating in gambling.



Well...! is this possible in traditional online games? Not really, at least not in casinos that are established over time.

Perhaps some believe that since this type of cheating occurs in eSports games and there are even specialized pages for each game, they exist for traditional casinos and this is not the case, at least not in online casinos.

We never know if when will this kind of opportunity will be present in front of us, whether if it's traditional online games or sports-betting. The thing is, even if these casinos are much more established compared to the other casinos that just been around for a couple of years, the ones controlling them behind are still human beings, meaning, they are still bound to make some mistakes because that's what makes us human in the first place. Now, for the question, will you be taking advantage if a loop hole will be present in front of you? Or will you choose the opposite direction?
1280  Economy / Economics / Re: How to avoid over expenses and have discipline on: August 22, 2023, 01:04:04 PM
I particularly liked your point 4. Make the 24 hour rule. I think it’s practicable and if done right, could help put off unnecessary spending.

Irrelevant purchases often happen on a whim and most people tend to give in to those urges to buy what would seem then to be urgently needed.
But if you could just put off buying that item for a while, you would realize you don’t really need it.

That is a start to help yourself control from having unwanted expenses that might go over your supposed expenses in that particular week or month, it might be not that easy for the starters but that's just the beginning and just like what others say, beginnings are always the hardest and if you can go through that trouble successfully then you're already in for a much easier path because you now know what to do next.

24 hour rule is made to prevent us from buying what we want instead of taking only the priority needs and if you can survive that 24 hour rule then I guess that means that you don't really need that particular object that you wanted.
