1081  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 13) on: May 08, 2023, 09:39:53 AM

In my local sportsbook, this bout was already listed about a week ago, but as of now, there are no betting options for this fight. Still waiting for it though.

John Riel Casimero   - 1.12
Filipus Nghitumbwa  - 8.4
Draw                          - 30


What sportsbook are you using? Those odds are crazy. I didn't expect Filipus Nghitumbwa to be the favorite, but I also didn't expect him to be this much of an underdog. Personally, I would bet on Casimero, but 1.12 is not attractive. Are there any other betting options where we can get higher odds, such as Casimero winning by KO in 1-3 rounds?

Bitcoin forum is not a place that they do learning compition, do not be on pressure and take your time to learn from the experience once here through reading of threads/post. Whatever information you are seeking for patterning Bitcoin, I assure you that you will be provided with the answer at least to a possible satisfaction. You must be consistent with your research, and read Bitcoin articles online, use search button to find some topics that may be useful to you. At the end when you must have been fed with the proper knowledge, you will certainly have what to contribute in this forum.
Never just focus on your own skill as it’s not the only way to become a quality member in the forum. You still have a lot of things to learn from the forum, so take your time until you slowly absorb everything you want to learn in the forum. Time will just come once you think you have gained enough knowledge and skills and learn from other people’s posts, I think when you start sharing what you have learned too, that alone remarks that you can be a useful forum member.

Investing in bitcoin offers better returns than depositing money in a bank. But as you said, investment is profit or loss, everything is risky, and bitcoin is no exception. I advocate when you invest in bitcoin, but remember one thing, only invest as much as you can afford to lose, and diversifying your portfolio is essential. Don't focus on just one asset, as the future is unpredictable.

Aside from the bitcoin investment, I think it's important for you now to have some savings. You probably won't need it now, but you may need it in the future for emergencies. Because your bitcoin investment doesn't always give a positive return, there will come a time when our portfolio loses, and we won't want to use it.
There’s no profit guarantee when you invest, at some point you may lose but there are also times you may get lucky and make profits. That’s how uncertain investment is, most particularly for bitcoin. The reason why we should always invest with caution. If you have tons of money right now, don’t invest all in, just invest in your spare money as losing will always be inevitable. And the most important is, have patience when you invest. You will never be successful in your long term investing in bitcoin if you cannot be patient in the first place.

Betting against the Warriors on the road seems to have been the wise choice all year long. Tonight the Lakers covered the spread with nearly 27 points on top of it. I don’t know what it is about the Warriors on the road but they’ll need to get it figured out. This wasn’t even a far trip for them as this and their last series was played entirely in California

That's true though, I really don't know what's with their mentality on the road, but at least they had to get 2 wins on the road in order to advance against Sacramento Kings, so it's just gotta be the same against Lakers, but Steve Kerr players lack intact brilliant communication in on some levels when there are certain player different combinations.

I think they need to experiment a large roster of the players combination to be successful this season, Looney despite being very great for the warriors in this playoffs, he's been quite a liability with handling the ball and not offensive minded in any light, he becomes a loop hole when the teams decides to go small against warriors.

Let's wait and see how the Warriors will adjust in Game 4. We have been criticizing the Warriors' small-ball style, but we cannot deny that they have been successful with that roster. It's clear that they got blown out by the Lakers in Game 3, but just like in Game 2, that doesn't necessarily dictate the outcome of the next game.

What I always believe is that the Warriors are the defending champions, so I'm sure they won't easily give this series to the Lakers in case they don't succeed. If the Warriors can't even the series in Game 4, then their chance to win is very slim, making Game 4 a must-win for them, especially because it's a road game.

Sports betting is not solely based on luck, unlike games in the casino like roulette and dice. Keep in mind that sports bettors are people who love sports and tend to focus only on the sports they know well.

Personally, I find it unwise to bet on sports that you're not familiar with and rely solely on luck. Not only will you not enjoy the game, but your chances of losing are also very high. It doesn't make sense to waste your money on something like that.

Russell has started this game off on a tear. He made his first 3 3-point shots and 5 of his first 6 from the field to get the Lakers and early lead. They blew it though giving up a huge run to the Warriors at the end of the first. The rest of the Lakers are going to have to step it up if they want to stay in this game. Russell gave them a nice start.
The Lakers had a big start, but despite that, the Warriors were able to take an early lead. However, the Lakers came back and did not give the Warriors another chance to lead. It looks like Game 3 will be for the Lakers, as there's no way the Warriors will be able to come back from an 18-point deficit after the 3rd quarter.

I have a close friend who recently purchased 0.8 Bitcoins and when we met he was happy and was like " I am now a Bitcoin investor"
At that point I go this question in mind ;what does it really take to become a Bitcoin investor .does it mean that if you own a considerable amount of Bitcoin in your wallet you are now a Bitcoin investor or there is more to it aside having a basic knowledge of crypto currencies
The moment you invest into something, you are instantly an investor. But investing without knowing what you are investing, and how to make your investment works, will never be successful in one’s investment. As a successful investor, you need to develop the right attitude towards investing, by being patient and focused on your set goal and sticking to it, you will end up profitable. And of course, by investing in the right coins that have high potentials for massive returns, that will help you to become a successful and profitable investor in the long run.

Discounts are things that can be done in a business to increase profits in business, maintain product quality and maintain relationships with customers by maintaining etiquette with customers and providing new innovations in business that are not monotonous, such as technological improvements contained in a product to be sold Survey competitors can also be done to give our products superiority when compared to competitors' products
Our business should be on top of other businesses so that we can easily increase our profits and create massive returns. And by offering updated discounts and promotions weekly or monthly that will attract the customers, they will continue to support our business and continue giving us consistent profits. As long as we are hitting and keeping our customer’s demand, then it would be easier for us to increase our profits despite of a lot of competition in the market.
1089  Economy / Gambling / Re: Limited in every bookmaker on: May 06, 2023, 12:37:36 PM
If you are limited obviously your name is on the black list of the broker you are betting with.The good thing that some brokers have is that you can establish a personal communication with the company and they can inform you on the restrictions.I was limited in a broker as well until i got in touch with them and they shared the reason. After few weeks i got back my accounts without any limits.It appeared it was a misunderstanding between the broker site and the providers.
Can you tell me what's the misunderstanding about your case?

I haven't see someone who get limit on their accounts and when they've reach the customer service, their accounts will no longer limited because most of reason the casino limit the gambler's account is the user keep winning in their site.

If you mean about few games you can't play, it's because your location get restricted in their casino, it's not limit which is you can't bet higher amount than previous.

You have the correct explanation. Gambling sites often limit users who are winning a lot of money. To give them the freedom to continue gambling, the best the gambling site can do is limit their bets. This way, the site can still be profitable even if the gambler keeps winning. If a gambler gets restricted, then that's another case. There may be a problem with the terms of service on the gambler's side, or for some gambling sites, they may use it to scam a gambler. It's important to gamble on reputable gambling sites.

Booker went crazy tonight for the Suns. Him and Durant both put up big numbers but his efficiency stands out as what made the difference in this game. I figured the Suns would bring it tonight. This win gives them a little life as the series is now 2-1 with the nuggets still in the lead. If the Suns can win the next one then they’ll have some hope after all.

Good to see that getting Durant is coming into fruition specially in this game, they needed a win and the duo make sure everything will be on their side. Specially Devin Booker, he has been crazy in this playoff even in the first round.

But this is the first time that we have seen him like playing MVP and doesn't want to exit early against the top seed Nuggets. Although they have a good lead early, the Nuggets was able to close down but the good thing is that they have Durant to help Devin on the offensive side.

They did just enough to win, but honestly, I doubt they'll be able to keep winning with their strategy. They aren't spreading the points very well and are relying on a two-man game where it's always Durant and Booker. It's not quite impressive, because if you look at the stats in terms of points in the roster, no players scored in double digits except for Durant and Booker. In my opinion, they won't be able to survive this series, and I predict the Nuggets will win in five games.
1091  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can we help to Bitcoin education? on: May 05, 2023, 09:46:25 PM
One of the fastest ways that can help to spread Bitcoin education is by posting Bitcoin sites that lecture about Bitcoin.  Another way is by sharing information about Bitcoin learning tools and sites with our friends, relatives, and community.  We don't need to create our own social media channel to explain Bitcoin, we just need to link people who are interested in Bitcoin to the sites that explain Bitcoin.

Since there are lots of sites and channels that give information about Bitcoin, what we need is linking interested people to these channels and sites.
I have to agree with you. No need to make our own channel for bitcoin as there are a lot of articles and videos that talk about the high potentials of bitcoin and how it can work for us. As long as the sources are legit, then we don’t have to worry about it. We just need to find community of people that we think are highly interested in bitcoin, so that we can focus on them and they will also relay to other people who also want to learn about bitcoin.
1092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 05, 2023, 08:42:11 AM
Davis was really inconsistent. After scoring 30 points in game 1, he only scored 11 points in game 2 with 7 rebounds and had the most turnovers on the team. It was a bad game for Davis, and as a result, the Warriors dominated the Lakers to tie the series.

That's exactly what I was talking about after his good performance in the first game. As we can see, Davis systematically alternates between bad and good performances, and the Lakers seem like a weak team when Davis is having a bad day. By the way, the Lakers were able to avoid problems in the first round against the Grizzlies, even though Davis also had a couple of bad performances. However, the Warriors clearly have more experience than the Grizzlies, and they probably won't miss an opportunity to take advantage of the Lakers' weakness.

We should give credit to Draymond's defense on AD without getting into foul trouble, there were one instance in the 3rd wherein Davis was doing some isolation but Draymond held his ground and even go for a steal, it's reminiscent of him doing that to Jokic as well.

And then the Warriors doing the adjustment, Vando still putting a lot of pressure on Steph and didn't want to switch and just follow Steph. So what Curry did is to pass the ball that's why he had 12 assists. And Klay finding his rhythm and then we have another role player in JaMychal Green putting in numbers with 15 points.

The Golden State Warriors (GSW) are really dangerous when Klay Thompson is hot since we know he is a streaky shooter. He was remarkable in that game, going 8-11 from the 3-point line. That's very impressive, but it's a normal day in the office for Klay. Actually, overall, the Lakers only shot 10-34 from 3PM-A compared to the Warriors' 21-42. They didn't shoot as much in this game and had a combination of outside and inside attacks, compared to Game 1 where they attempted a big 53 shots.

Also, the free throw attempts were close in this game compared to Game 1 where the Lakers dominated.

Why do some people love to break the rules? Could it be because the penalty is very small compared to what they could earn playing outside the league?

What do you think is the main reason?

Perhaps the penalty is not that significant, but I'm sure that they are aware that what they're doing is against the rules of their contract.

As most of these players are already veterans in the league, they aren't setting a good example for young players. Maybe they couldn't resist the temptation to play since the PBA is currently on a break, but as I said, they should be aware of the rules, and that's not a good excuse.


Just my personal take about playing outside their contracts, or what we called ligang labas, some of them are earning huge amount as we know they are just like celebrities when they go outside there are fans who love seeing them, in terms of sanctions and penalties I'm sure they are well aware and they are neglecting it and they are willing to go behind their sign contracts knowing that the possible profits when they play outside might be better than the penalties.

I mean, it can be covered, and with how PBA is handling a case like this, I'm pretty sure it won't be the last time we will hear about it.


Then probably the league has to revise their rules regarding the penalty and make it more severe so players won't break it just because they earn more than the penalty that will be imposed on them. The main concern here is the health of the players. Once they are injured and they are a big piece of the team, the whole team will suffer, and they'll have a bad season. That's what the league is trying to prevent. It's what we call protecting their investment.

I agree with the op, investing in bitcoin today, and already wanting to become a multi millionaire by the next day is something that is very common amongst newbies, that is, newbies that are entirely new to investments.

I have some friends who some time in the past asked me what I do for a living aside my business, I told them I'm crypto currency trader, and that I make good money from it, they picked interest and I offered to teach them, after showing them the basics and telling them to learn the rest from research, one week later, I discovered they've lost interest.

They probably thought trading is something one would just go into and start making money,  same also with investment, it is one thing to find a good investment opportunity, and it is another thing entirely to invest, and be patience for your investment to grow and bear you good fruit.
That’s why everything in crypto, be in trading or investing, needs to work it out by acquiring knowledge and experience in the first place. There’s no shortcuts in it, like when you just invest and expect profits after a day,  that is only for those who are just greedy without knowing how risky their investment is. But when you decide to invest because you have studied it well, and you learned from your previous losses and mistakes, then maybe expecting a profit this time is very possible. Investing is never easy, but it’s also not hard for those who have passion and have known it well.
1095  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I may sound really stupid right now, but it's what I noticed on: May 04, 2023, 09:17:39 PM
It's how the media wants to play the game. Of course, during bear markets, the media will sell all its news hard and make money off it. And during the bull runs, they would stay silent as possible because their news wouldn't be bought anyway. It's how they make money, and for sure they are paid to peddle those news hard when the situation aligns to whatever they're reporting. It's a common tactic they've been doing for years way before crypto is around.
Let’s just get used to it. As long as you won’t fall in any of their traps, then you won’t be taken advantage of. Just know that creating FUDs are their only way of sustaining their income, that’s why we have to deal only with facts and get rid of FUDs. And I also think that negative news will remain useless, unless we start believing on it. Even in bullish season there are still negative news that will arise, but as long as it won’t stop the market from being bullish, then we should never mind it too.

Boston Celtics on the other hand will be in big trouble if they lose another game at their home. Their road record may be good but so do the home record of the 76ers. They must know how to close the game efficiently because their loss from the previous game was just because of being careless of the ball.
76ers +8.5
Over 214.5
The game starts in 2 minutes.

Bench or in terms of teams with the deepest and very competitive roster, In my opinion Boston Celtics are top 2 of best in the league, if not the very best, and speaking of game 1, it barely slipped through their hands, however, Celtics are already building a significant lead over 76ers here in the 3rd Quarter, they should see this one through with relative ease, and for the 2 games coming up next in Philadelphia, I wouldn’t by any means consider the Boston Celtics as the underdog for either of game 3 and 4.

The Celtics should win this game. There's no way the 76ers will still be able to come back since the Celtics are already leading by 30 points. It's a huge blowout win by the Celtics, a big bounce back after a disappointing Game 1 loss. I love what they're doing now, being very aggressive and not stopping despite the huge lead they've built.

Embiid's return was spoiled after winning the regular season MVP. Grin

Some smaller platforms might have unique games you won't see elsewhere, communities more suited for the kind of person you are. Or more personalized service.

Of course, you may pay a price with fewer options. And certainly don't go to a site just because it's small. Smaller sites may on average be more willing to scam customers.

That said, bigger platforms can get overly bureaucratic, loose touch with their roots and what not.
Hmmm, yes you are correct on some things. Yes, some of the minor gambling platforms has a high tendency to run from their investors I already encounter that thing few years ago, that's why just for me to ease my anxiety in paying I only gamble to trusted one whom has a years in the market and has a good review here in this forum, I trust all those review from everyone of you.
It’s always a choice for us whether we should try some small gambling platforms, or just stick to big and famous platforms knowing most of them have earned good reputation. After all, we have varied experiences from different casinos. But for me, I cannot say that small gambling platforms are worthless after all. There are those small casinos that have better and tempting offers than old and big casinos, so it’s not that bad if I also try on them just to acquire new experience. But before that, I always take considerations in reading their reviews every now and then so I can also get some ideas if the casino is worth playing or not because it’s a big scam after all.

I haven't think of that before, do the AI could give you suggestion if you input to them your cards and the present cards in the banker? I think that could be really helpful in some situations but don't you think that could be cheating or not? I tried to play with ChatGPT with chess and it looks like it can play chess very well, the knowledge of the this AI is really good so there's no doubt that it can be used in gambling sites.
Well, that could be possible in the future. But for now, I cannot say that ChatGTP can be reliable enough from winning online poker games. Though I must admit that ChatGPT gives excellent answers when it comes to inquiries on world events or anything that is computer related jobs, but it’s hard to expect that ChatGPT will also work in gambling. Note that gambling outcomes are very unpredictable, and ChatGPT cannot be possibly dwelling in the future especially in poker games where cards are always hard to predict.

If you are lucky and you maximize that then quit, your winning profits is high than your target, but if you are unlucky even, you set your target to a small amount suddenly you will see that you are losing your capital, that's how gambling works.
Yes, luck really determines the final outcome in gambling whether you win or lose, but targeting a certain number of wins is not a good thing because if we have a winning target, it is indirectly the same as chasing victory which can actually make us lose more money.
It's better to play well and be happy then wait for luck to come by playing at limits so we can get wins without realizing it.
There are many gamblers who target wins and profits but what they get is only disappointment and excessive losses.
I myself have never had a profit target because a gambler cannot target wins and profits.
True. Everything in gambling is uncertain so one should never set a target amount for profits knowing when you gamble, you are allowing yourself to lose, and the more you gamble, the higher chances of losing and definitely not the bigger amount to win. So if you think winning $100 is possible in gambling, think a thousand times. It’s even highly possible that you could lose $100 daily from gambling than to expect a daily profit from it.
