Trading is kind of risky thing where you can generate money and you also can lost the whole fund within few seconds. So it isn't recommend to trade if you don't know anything. But I don't support the idea "Doing trades with small fund and keep learning". Cause thus i made loss continuesly. i know a traders need to know technical, fandmental analysis, need to check news and many more. So What things do you follow and advice before open a trade?
Never trade if you are not prepared. Although it can be learned by following its process, but jumping into trading when you’re supposed to study and acquire knowledge and basic information first is actually allowing yourself to lose consistently which I think is not good at all. Losses could be your motivational means to learn and improve your trading performance, but somehow the fact that you can still avoid those losses through learning at first and equipping yourself with knowledge and skills before you trade is still recommended.

I lose my pick so my record now is  YTD 2-1 (67%)


For another early picks. I have the follwing teams tomorrow as my bets.

First pick - Hawks -2.5 (WIN)
I'm impressed with their performance vs the Suns. On the save venue, their battle the Warriors, both teams came up on an impressive win and both are playing on a back to back game. however, since Hawks does not travel, I believe they have the advantage on that factor.

2nd pick - Bulls -1.5 (LOSS)
last time playing at home they lose, maybe this time they'll get a win.

Updated record : YTD 3-2 (60%)

Early picks on the games later.

First pick : Miami Heat +4.
Miami are two in a row after a losing streak, therefore I'm not gonna bet against them. They are playing at home against a strong team, but hopefully they'll be able to cover the spread. Clippers could blow them out if they'll not play well, but if they compete, they might loss but will be a close game.

2nd Pick : Toronto +9.5
OKC are not so good with weaker teams, so I'm expecting the Raptors to cover, or maybe upset the home team.
283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: February 04, 2024, 08:14:14 AM
The approach is defending on the person that is addicted, we should know better what kind of atttitude he has because he  is within our home, a familiy member. My approach on this is I will not be harsh, this kind of person needs to get the compassion so he'll surrender his burden, yes, addiction is a burden as that's simply unable to control ourselves and all we do is just to gamble and lose our money.

Although we may say that we don't lose all the time, there are also instances that we win money, but the question is, how long that would last? I mean, if you are a gambler or an addicted gambler, you'll never stop gambling until you lose everything. Did anyone here know an addicted gambler stop gambling when they are winning?
284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: February 04, 2024, 07:31:08 AM
Well there goes the Chicago Bulls chances of moving on from Zach Lavine and starting our rebuild.  Out for the rest of the season is a blow period, but it's no secret both parties want to go their own way...now, that's taken a major hit for this year and next.  The injury alone will cost us big time when we try and trade him next year. I was even seeing ideas of trading for Lebron floating around.. Sucks to be a bulls fan!!
I was wrong to bet on the Bulls,  this team are not serious anymore or if they are they are very much underamanned. From now on I will skip betting on this team. Last night they were -1.5 vs the Kings who played back to back games and they were dominated early, although they slowly came back, and able to trim the lead to 3 pionts only but they ran out of gas in the end, still a loss, that's 2 consecutive losses at home for them.

I'm hoping they'll have a good season next, and they'll be able to trade Lavine for a more consistent and healthier player.

This seems like a fun but also strange deal. If I'm not mistaken, Oladipo performed very well when he was still in a Pacers uniform, while his last few seasons in a Heat uniform were already mediocre. I guess his performance is likely to get even worse after his recovery, given the nature of his injury.
So I also think this is a good deal for the Rockets because when Adams is healthy, he'll be useful in the paint anyway.
This will be in the books as long as he is still active.

Both have actually high risks most especially if you are still a newbie in your investment. You are still prone to wrong decision making that would make your investment to fail instead of seeing it growing. However, if you know how to manage your investment, be it offline or online, you will find ways on how to overcome those risks, or at least minimize them.

While diversifying is a good idea, I believe it takes time to learn both investments and the amount of capital might be huge and hard to achieved. But if you are seeing potentials on them both, of course you will take the risk and do everything just to cater both investments and make them completely work.
286  Economy / Speculation / Re: Best time to buy BTC NOW? on: February 03, 2024, 06:58:49 PM
Right now, bitcoin is priced at $43k so buying this time could be a little bit expensive but if your goal is to accumulate bitcoin before bitcoin halving hits the market, then I should say it’s still a good buy and a good idea to start buying and hodling. Otherwise, if you keep waiting for the price to drop at its dip, you might miss another opportunity to buy as no one can exactly guarantee whether bitcoin price is heading to another price increase or a price decline.
287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: February 03, 2024, 01:01:07 PM
If I'm being fully honest, I  think women make better at a lot of things over men as they have a natural nurturing nature that many men simply just dont have, not on their level anyhow.  I can see them being a bit more realistic with their betting as women are also often the one of the two in many relationships that take the finances more seriously.  So there's def some truth in that IMO.
Women are not good at betting, they are too emotional and might not be able to handle their emotion in gambling. The world is ruled by men, and as we know, most of the successful business individuals are men, that's because men are risk takers than women, and that will not change because it's already our nature being a human.

No disrespect to women as they have been wanting to have this "equality" thing, yes they can achieve that but they can't outsmart men on things they are good at.
288  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a generous gamblers on: February 03, 2024, 11:56:30 AM
I'm proud to say that I am. If I win big, I usually spend it either on things or experience. Since I don't really focus on gambling a lot like treating it as a job, then a win is already like a bonus for me. There was this one time that I won from a huge parlay, I cashed out a decent amount and spend it directly to buy my daughter her favorite phone, she was happy and I'm happy as well. Not only for my family, I also treat my friends going outside for a drink, at the end of the day, I'll just think that it's instant money and it's worth to spend it since winning does not come often.
289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2023-2024 betting on: February 03, 2024, 11:02:40 AM
Not cool that the Bucks lost to the Trail Blazers in overtime. Dame just couldn’t make a shot but he didn’t let that stop him from taking more than any other player. Not sure why Giannis didn’t play a bigger role tonight. Seemed like they just let Lillard drag them down with his shooting all night.
Game didn't went to OT, Blazers didn't allow it to happen. Bucks were able to take a lead but Simons take back the lead, and the last sequence are not good for the Bucks as they choose a low percentage shot than making a play for Giannis to attack the rim.

Lillard and Lopez, both 3 points attempt failed.



Anyway, I got lucky with my pick last night, as I got 2-2. I'm making a record of this so I have something to look back at.

YTD 2-0 (100%)

First pick. Pelicans -2.5 
2nd pick Thunder -1

Both bets won.



My early pick

Only pick - Pacers +3.5

290  Economy / Economics / Re: Why does a country borrow money from the world bank even when they can afford it on: February 02, 2024, 08:35:48 PM
There’s always a room for improvement, even if we are already seeing such countries in progress. The reason why most of the countries still taking a loan from the world bank so that they can continue providing their people the quality services that they deserve, like building more infrastructures that will cater the different needs of the people, and giving the people the continuous financial assistance most especially for those who are actually less unfortunate ones.

However, the officials personal interest to also benefit from the borrowed money is inevitable. Even if these people will deny it, but we all know as to where they are getting their funds to buy instant luxury cars and services for their own family benefits.
291  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: February 02, 2024, 05:08:09 AM
I'm sorry but in those cases I prefer to stay away, unless it's your brother or a case like that. It has to be the person who makes a conscious decision about it, which they usually only do after they have hit rock bottom.

I hope it's easy to stay away when you are addicted with gambling, some people might be able to do that but there are also some that wouldn't stop until they lose everything they have. That kind of addiction is probably worse but it could happen to anyone of us if we don't have the discipline, like gambling thinking that there's no tomorrow, and doesn't want to stop gambling when losing, this kind of attitude will bring us to sure disaster.
292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Jerwin Ancajas vs Takuma Inoue - February 24 on: February 02, 2024, 04:25:00 AM
As to the betting odds which he is the underdog, I think that's okay, it's justifiable since he is the challenger and the fight is held in Japan. Of course, I wouldn't be questioning that, I love him as the underdog as I'm betting on him to win. Good luck to him, hopefully we will see another Filipino champion soon.

He is what we term, live underdog, he might be 3:1, but that is good for us gambling bettors. It might be a motivation for him seeing that he is a underdog to a boxer that we think that he has a good chance to beat and then win the belt again.

Of course he should be motivated as he wants to become a champion. He lose his belt and now given this opportunity, isn't it what a champ would want that they will come back at the top again? But being 3:1 underdog, I doubt he cares about that, it's only for us gamblers and we bet on the underdog not just because of its potential payout but most importantly we believe that Ancajas has a decent chance of beating Takuma Inoue.
293  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Newbie traders, work on yourself. on: February 01, 2024, 11:55:15 PM
You don’t want to be a trader and put your trading success to other’s shoulders. That’s so irresponsible of you if ever. So work on yourself and acquire all those necessary learning experience and skills, that will be your weapon so you won’t be trading at a loss consistently.

Trading is not only a game of mind and knowledge, but also a game of luck as well. There are those who are not actually highly knowledgeable and skillful but they managed to win most of their trades. So maybe being lucky and well-experienced trader could be a perfect combination to come up with a very profitable and successful trades.
294  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Is there anything else like bitcoin? on: February 01, 2024, 11:12:54 PM
There are actually good competitors of bitcoin in the market, but when it comes to price sustainability, I can’t think even better than bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king of the crypto market, that makes it probably getting the highest edge over the others. If you are hesitant to invest in bitcoin, take time to DYOR first.

The important thing is you need to trust your investment, regardless if it’s bitcoin or not. Otherwise, you won’t manage to win over those risks if you are not completely trusting your own investment.

Avoid people who thinks they know the future, no one does for real, face your little risks and use your luck wisely, gambling is never a solution to your problems, it's either entertainment for you or a mood ruiner, those who want gambling for fun of it risks so less to none and those who want to make higher amount risks a lot of money, in the end who is the wisest?

They know the future because they know the game is fixed. It's happening in some other sports specially on smaller league, but the question here is the credibility of the source, and it's hard to trust someone with it risking our money. This is just short term in case we suceed, however since "fixed games" has been what they market, this is quite shady and you are transacting with people whom likely are scammers.

Guess it's time to start sharing some picks.  Smiley

Game to avoid, Miami vs Sacramento. Although I like to bet on Miami, but thus far they can't win games and are on a cold streak, better not to touch it then regret in the end. I have only 2 picks for the upcoming games.

First pick. Pelicans -2.5
2nd pick Thunder -1

I have not seen such members in this forum promoting other forums, except you because you admit it that you're actually into it. I guess this forum is not entertaining that kind of case anymore as it's obvious that bitcointalk is not threatened by other forums. And when I think of banning, that only happens if you are doing what is against the forum laws, and promoting another forum might not be included into its rule.

However, that's a matter of initiative and proper thinking already. You don't have to ask the forum but ask yourself if you are actually doing the right thing?
299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: January 29, 2024, 01:45:26 PM
Good matchup is Nuggets vs the Bucks. It's going to be Giannis vs Jokic, Nuggets will have the home court advantage.

I would choose the new Bucks here. Nuggets maybe a strong team at home but they aren't undefeated, and based on the last game of the Bucks, I am confident that it will not be an easy game for the home team as Giannis is sure to be unstoppable, even Jokic could not stop him. Lillard has to have an impressive game here, not sure if Middleton will play because last time he was just sitting on the bench, but even without him, I think Bucks are still capable fo winning.

If we are not confident them winning straight up, taking the handicap is the best bet for us. That's +4.5

Well the problem for the Bucks ain't the offense, it's the defense. That's why the coach had to go as we know. Sure Giannis and Dame can score at will but at d some players should step up as well!
Also they are just 11:9 in away games compared to 18:4 at home for the Nuggets.

In the last 2 away games the Bucks had serious problems to put away the league worst Pistons in Detroit, that doesn't make me confident they have a good shot to beat the Nuggets in Denver. In these 2 games the Bucks have been down by small points in the 4th quarter before closing it out on some runs. You would expect from a team of this caliber to put them away MUCH earlier.

It might get a close game because of the strong scoring output of Dame and Giannis but in the end I think it won't be enough.


Let's see if Doc Rivers will be able to help to solve their weakness as he will have his debut in his coaching job in this game.

Doc Rivers Expected to Make Debut as Bucks Coach on Monday vs. Nuggets, per Report

For me this is worth betting. Although you maybe right that the Nuggets are good at home but they are not invincible. I still could not forget how this team got destroyed by the Knicks few days a go, they experience their biggest loss in the season losing on the road by 38 points.

We have different opinion here as these two teams are great, they are a championship team. However, Bucks getting + points, I would definitely take it.

I guess there’s no secret or perfect advice for these new babies in the forum, but still my only advice is to  DYOR in any type of investment or decision making. Gain knowledge and various insights as much as possible because that will be your weapon to surpass all the trials, all the twists and turns when investing or even in the forum itself. And lastly, always be open for losses or failures. Don’t expect that this forum is perfect, or bitcoin investment will eventually bring huge profits. Honestly, it all relies on the forum member or the investor itself the success of his own decision making or his investment as well.
