1141  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: April 17, 2023, 05:55:50 PM

I can't see how you can decide which horse to bet on. Are you able to see the features of these competing AI horses?
It could be rigged all the time much like the phony race of Yobit. You can't complain about what is unfair to this kind of game. That's how it sounds and the house typically could just program which will win, all you can do is wait for the pattern and when it is your turn to win.

It's in meta though so are we the ones riding as the jockey?
Well, most likely that the game will be rigged since everything is controlled before the race has started. And even if you see that particular horse has a lot of potentials to win, you can never guarantee that it will be declare as the winner. Probably the outcome of the game has already been set, regardless of how those horses perform at the middle of the race. That’s why AI gambling seems not valid and not worth my bet.
1142  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Casimero vs Nghitumbwa (May 13) on: April 17, 2023, 05:28:24 PM
He needs to secure this win if he really wanted to create his name in this new division, losing a fight to unknown fighter
will put his career in danger. I mean, if he will lose, then interest from big promoters will be lessened or possibly be forgotten.

Unlike if he will win and take this fight in a much easier as how fans expected him,
the chance of bringing him to a contender for a title holder is possible.

We don't know what might happen after this, but it's really important that Casimero will win every single fight that being scheduled for him.

I got your point mate that for Casimero to fight for a championship, he needs to win all his fights before that and the good thing about his promoter right now is not forcing the issue, and seems to me that they are carefully selecting opponents to fight their ward and even though with that scenario, Casimero himself is not complaining since he earns substantial amount enough to have a not so lavish lifestyle.

Nothing has leaked so far as who will be next opponent of Quadro Alas but one thing is sure that it would not be Inoue.


Well, I guess no worries for this upcoming fight since it’s already anticipated that Casimero will eventually beat his opponent inside the ring, but he should still prepare a massive training before the game so that he will surely win over his opponent. One thing is certain, if Casimero will win this match, the big promoters will certainly be eyeing for him for another impressive match, and hopefully it’s someone that is known and is equal to his potentials the next time he will be fighting.

The newer generation probably can relate to that fantasy sports, they are likely the ones playing NBA games on PlayStation. It's not a real sport but definitely, someone with a good analysis in picking which athlete to put in a team has good skills.

The real sports where people buy a ticket are the real thing. It's something that people talk about online and are on the news.
Well, probably these gamblers in this current generation can more relate to fantasy sports as these games are often played in the internet and are played by imaginary participants. So it’s still gambling but I think I have higher urge to gamble with these real sports betting games. Maybe because I am used in betting traditional games that’s why these new set of fantasy games don’t really excite me that much.
1144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: April 17, 2023, 08:10:50 AM
What if, I get a chance to participate in a lottery without any investment?
If any gambling site offers, free of cost entry in the lottery, i would definitely not miss that one. Smiley
For a giveaway, yes, but don't expect its common coz its not. Check games and rounds boards for that. About free lottery in gambling casino? It's not common that you can entry without betting money, maybe a they give you a bonus but you need to deposit first so its not free.
Well, there’s no free betting in gambling actually, all comes with a good price. But if it’s a bonus or a give-away, then surely I would also grab for that. But the thing is, lottery is certainly a game of luck so never expect for an easy win. Only the luckiest one will only be given the chance to win the jackpot prize, but in most scenarios, it’s seldom to hit the jackpot prize as majority of the gamblers end up losing their bets.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About football betting on: April 16, 2023, 09:42:47 PM
There's a house edge that you don't know inside sports betting.

In short if there are 10 gamblers bet each $100 in a match, the casino has $1,000 as the pool, but odds designed they will only pay $950, the another $50 are their profit. The odds will not be 2.00x and 2.00x, but it's always 1.95x and 1.95x, as simple as that.
So whether it’s a win or loss for the players, the casino will always have its commission that’s why its profits are certain. Not just in pure luck based games, but even in sportsbetting, the casino will still make profits regardless it’s a win or loss. And this makes casinos more profitable than any kind of business. Not just in football, but certainly in all kinds of sports betting games.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we should play on minor gambling platform? on: April 16, 2023, 09:15:26 PM
Hi there guys,

Since I've seen what happened to Coinplay, my question was: Why we should play with minor gambling platform, and not use only gambling platform like Stake, CloudBet, fortunejack ecc. which ensure us good games, 100%

of safety in terms of withdrawal and provably fair (about games)? This question is also for the owners of gambling platform, maybe they can help to reply it.

Maybe this question come out because we are at the time when we have so many popular and trusted casinos already.
How if we are at the time when all casinos are still new? all the sites you mentioned above were minor gambling platform as well at the beginning.
Playing on minor/new gambling site is fine as long as we know how to choose which one looks good enough.
Coming up to the chance of something bad (scam or something else), it may happened also in major/old reputable casinos.
Do you remember the history of Safedice? It was a great reputable site but they were gone badly.

I guess there’s no big deal actually if we chose to play on minor gambling platform, as long as their good and reliable enough, then we could play in there comfortably. But somehow, most of the gamblers now prefer to chose in big platforms because they certainly believe that big and known platforms are more reputable and have less chances of rigged games and scamming. When in fact, all casino whether small or big, popular or not, are still prone to gambling scamming and eventually gone easily in the market.

Most at times I get confuse and stuck when I see some post with strange or unfamiliar threads but at the same time I will see a lot of people arguing the threads and comments. I don't know how wide is crypto currency with exclusive terminologies like nodes, cores, NFt etc. At some point I wonder what I can do to mingle deeply in the discussion and contributions of this hard terms but one can not said something where you have no ideas. That's why I want to know how you get much familiar with all bitcoin technologies? What should I do?

It's really hard in the beginning to grasp everything at one sitting, so my advise will be, just take it easy.

1. if you encounter terms that you are not familiar then Google is your friend. Try to find out the meaning of that word
2. read everything first before you post or answer
3. just go around and play around the forum to familiarized your self
Explore the forum first and read everything as much as you can. That will really help you a lot to be familiarized with cryptocurrency and how its market works. And when you encounter words that confused you, then do your due diligence to DYOR. Research is the only answer for that. After all, everything is laid down on the internet for free, you just have to spend most of your time studying and researching if you want to achieve maximum crypto learning.
1148  Economy / Gambling / Re: A way to attract new users or a misunderstanding? on: April 16, 2023, 08:17:27 PM
But I agree with you that there are lots who just uses the name for free marketing. There are currently not as many Web 3.0 casinos available compared to traditional online casinos. By faking their marketing Web 3.0 casinos, traditional online casinos are just trying to attract users who are interested in the Web 3.0 casino features, even if their platform doesn't actually offer them.
Many new casinos use web 3.0 casino in their last name and slogan to attract the interest of new users, they just modify the user interface to look like web 3.0 but don't actually use the algorithms from web 3.0, it's all marketing strategy related. Currently many top casino platforms have not yet switched to web 3.0 so don't trust new casinos with the implementation of web 3.0 that it offers to new users, top casinos must have reviewed web 3.0 usage and the team has designed a development planning table for web simulation using web 3.0.
While a lot of us would be more attracted with web 3.0 gambling features, but the reality is majority of the top casinos have not reached that far and are still following the current generation of the web. So if we can see casinos advertised as having Web 3.0 features, don’t be deceived easily as it’s only a part of marketing strategy to attract more players to play in their casino site. But eventually, all casinos are really heading there, though it’s still uncertain as to when they will get there.

How true is this statement? I thought bitcoin wallet is best for storing long term investment, since no physical companies are to be trusted 100%, people uses bitcoin wallet to established good investment plans but seeing lead to ask questions of why and how true, which means no where is safe for life investment.
Yes provided you only store bitcoin with that since its only supported bitcoin and not other tokens and coins. It is also safe if you protect it from possible danger or hack. Cause even some might get compromise if not secured properly or been affected by virus.
There’s no 100% safe and secured investment. The reason why we have to chose the right investment and keep it secured all the time by being responsible on the safety of our own account. Otherwise, if you only store bitcoin without proper security, and not taking any action to avoid being scammed, you will eventually lost all your bitcoin without your awareness.
1150  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't invest money you can't afford to lose out of greed. on: April 15, 2023, 10:45:04 PM
In order to truly invest safely in crypto and relax, one should purchase bitcoin. Altcoin investment these days is no longer safe and secure. A popular altcoin may be scammed or compromised by hackers. Just yesterday, hackers broke into Sushi Swap, stealing around $3 million.
Sushi Swap hack info
I've been feeling horrible ever since I heard the news because no one can predict which other altcoins may be compromised by hackers tomorrow. It's a pity that crypto has now become a place, hackers can hack into and siphon people's money
That’s the reason why we should be more responsible for the security of our own account. Scamming has been rampant but we can avoid it as much as possible if we take precautionary measures on how to protect our account, and by not chosing altcoins for our investment, it will save us from these greedy scammers. And for us to be more safe, invest only what you can afford to lose, and stick to bitcoin and stay away from unestablished altcoins.
1151  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: April 15, 2023, 10:18:38 PM
I was thinking new kind of plan to buy bitcoin every month from my salary immediately my company paids me but I still have other responsibilities to carry with family so am skeptical about it especially now that the price has no direction. If can afford storing every month in a long run I may realizes half of bitcoin unit and that's a big achievement to buy but to you is funny because you have enough of it. So advise me on what to do! Should I hold on because of the instabilities in price? Or I should buy and store? Over to you
If there is still extra money remaining from your salary, then you can start buying and storing bitcoin through DCA. Since you are not obliged to buy the whole bitcoin, then buying a portion of it from time to time will still be helpful because it will still be complete as a whole after months and years of buying. That way, you are likely to reduce its risks and the stress it brings once you enter into a volatile investment.
1152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Thought On Gambling Strategies on: April 15, 2023, 09:41:54 PM
Certainly there is no strategies in gambling. And if by any means there is any strategy then it should be the cautions to gamble or to gamblers.
There is no winning strategy towards gambling, especially when it comes to casino gambling. The closest you could come is in the sportsbook but even that too comes without any assurance as you still could be beaten on your best bet.

Though, there is nothing wrong with having a style or format of play. It's one way to ensure control over what funds your ready to gamble with and how many tries you would want to take before you either win or exhaust your gambling funds.

It's aways cool you approach gambling with some permutation, even though it's a game of luck.
Gambling is literally dependent on luck, so even if you have the best strategies to use while gambling, that won’t give an assurance that you will actually win in the end. The casino operators have seen it coming, so they have already set plan for it. And to think that gambling always gives edge to the house, that’s why if you don’t have the luck to win, gambling experience will never be a profitable one.
1153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout money on: April 15, 2023, 09:25:58 PM
hello is it possible to cashout money  without being the owner  without having documents to proof you are the owner  and when the account is frozen?

only thing i have is that payment method that was used  was mine and the cashout would go towards that account
If you have full control over the account then yes but if the account is frozen then that is totally impossible feat. Even if the payment method was yours that wouldn't mean much to consider a cash out since you state that the account is frozen.
Yes, once the account is frozen, you cannot make any withdrawals from your account but you can  continue to deposit or transfer money into that account. That is the consequence having a frozen account. Just wait for a week or more before that account can be unfreeze, and that’s the time withdrawal will be now allowed.
1154  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do I become productive in this forum? on: April 14, 2023, 10:58:40 PM
I discovered am not growing as expect in the forum and I have realizes so many things about my posts and comments, things like; repetitions, off threads, shallow contents, inability to defend your posts or comments, refused instructions, walking out my strength and best field of knowledge of bitcoin and finally trying to beat or become others.

These statement above makes many victims of not being useful or productive in the forum. Am ready to amends my ways and I guess others too. What have you observed about my page posts and comments? And what did you suggests I best lay on? What's your advised to others? Though am not the only victim here but am only the repented soul for now, please deliver me. Thank you
Buddy chill, you might be overthinking about it too much. This is a forum for discussions and not really something of a workplace for "usefulness" or being productive. Just use the forum whenever you like it. Sometimes I just do not post at all whenever I do not feel like Bitcoin-y at the moment (yeah I made that word up, lol).

You have way more productivity waiting outside the computer if you would ask me.
Right. OP seems so obsessed on how to make it instantly productive in the forum. It’s a working process mate  so you have to do your due diligence in learning inside the forum, so you can actually engage productively with other participants in the discussion. But never obliged yourself to take the pressure and compete with other forum members. The forum is a good and productive place to stay, as long as you didn’t mind the pressures around.
1155  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Early Profit can be misleading. on: April 14, 2023, 10:43:22 PM
Should newbie traders be only concerned about making profit? I do not think so.

What do you think, let us discuss?
While I agree with the OP's point, can I also point out that profit making is in trading shouldn't be ignored. Because if all you have experienced as a trader is loss, I can bet that you are already demoralized and demotivated to keep trading. As a newbie trader, it lies on you to find an equilibrium point between making profit and being grounded in the principle of trading. Make profit will keep you interested in trading.
That’s the reason why both profiting and losing shouldn’t be ignored. It’s okay if you are consistently making profits in trading because that’s a sign that you are applying what you have actually learned from your first trading experiences, but if you see yourself in consistent losses, I think that’s already a bad sign. Maybe you are just using wrong strategies or it’s just that, you are not meant to be a good trader. That way, you can just settle in hodling first.
1156  Economy / Economics / Re: Quit borrowing on: April 14, 2023, 09:47:30 PM
When you're short on cash, it can be difficult to quit borrowing money.

Everyone has been there. We're short on cash and in a lot of debt, but a cover loan to get out of the red and even improve our readiness is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Blissful days? Sadly, no. It all comes down to the straightforward, yet frequently misunderstood, formula that says borrowing more money equals more debt. It is more difficult to return to black the more debt you accumulate.

The majority of us live beyond our means, which is one of the primary causes of our ever-increasing habit of borrowing money. Simply put, incomings are outpacing outgoings. It's also getting worse.

More than at any time in the past two decades, millions of Americans are spending more than they earn. Spending on credit cards, the most common type of personal debt, is estimated to be rising at a rate faster than at any other time in American history.
This is actually happening not just in America but to all parts of the world. Maybe that’s more because of the present lifestyle that people chose to live, they prefer to live having luxurious lifestyle and clearly spend above their means, so the outcome is they eventually get broke later on. Except for those who borrow for investments, I think that is reasonable enough if they are also borrowing an amount they can manage to pay even if their investments won’t completely work.
1157  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What's your most preferred Bitcoin investment strategy right now? on: April 14, 2023, 09:11:46 PM
... but newbies prefer HODL I guess if I'm not mistaken because that's the easiest way to make profits in the long run if you do have a lot of patient as well.

I don't think newbies like HODL because newbies are people who don't have much experience but always want to make money quickly. Most newbies will start with trading, especially futures trading, because they think that just buying low and selling high will be profitable and won't take too long. But after having a bad experience in trading, they start thinking about holding for a long as it is less risky as well as better return.
To be honest, some people in my locality get rich with bitcoin, but mostly holding, I haven't seen anyone get rich through trading, so I'm also a long-term holder.
For newbies, knowing they are more greedy than experienced traders or hodlers, they will surely want to be more active in trading because they really believe that it could be the best way to make them rich instantly. But when reality hits them, that they are more prone to losses when trading, that’s the time they start to settle on hodling. Even myself, I was also like that before, but now I realized that there is better opportunity to make profits from long term hodling, just be patient and never get bothered with price fluctuations, surely you will make it big in the end.
1158  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to be more useful in this forum on: April 13, 2023, 09:59:08 PM
So dear seniors and good peoples, can you please give me some simple but effective Direction to improve me?
the simplest way(even though actually doing it is not really simple) I can think of is to read, learn, and discuss, that is basically what you need to improve. read, learn or join discussions about what really interests you to expand your knowledge and join or create discussions on what you've learned.
That is certainly the basics in the forum. If you’re a newbie, be more open minded to learn and accept new insights, and understand what you have read and research because you will use what you have learned in your future discussion. Never gets tired but always do your due diligence in the forum, that way you will acquire a lot of knowledge and interesting skills later on. And when you have that already, then it will be easier for you to make yourself useful and productive in the forum.
1159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can you consider yourself as a risk taker if you buy bitcoin? on: April 13, 2023, 09:41:01 PM
We share the same viewpoint on this; risk is present in all investments and businesses, not just Bitcoin.

In my opinion, the risk is when you invest in something where you are unsure of your profit or even your return, which means you could lose it all, and in this regard, there are many businesses that involve high risk, but people take the risk because they believe that the higher the risk, the greater the profit and return, which is true most of the time and sometimes not, which is why it is called risk-taking.
High risks are also an increased danger to our investments, no need to think that this will help us make a big profit, it can also take away our funds. All risks must be justified, and if in doubt, it is better not to invest in this coin at all, but to look for something more reliable. Even if it brings less profit, but you will be confident in what you are doing.

Bitcoin is a good investment, but before you start investing, you need to thoroughly study its history and see how it moves. Risk will be present in any investment, somewhere more, somewhere less.
True, not all those who take high risks are gaining bigger profits in return. In fact, what they only gain is life changing losses that could deprive their bright future ahead. So never believe it’s mostly possible most especially for beginner investors. Taking small risk at the beginning is good enough, you will only increase it once you are in consistent profits already and you may think that investing a bigger amount could be more helpful with your future profits.
1160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers? on: April 13, 2023, 08:50:49 PM
Not gonna affect people.

People still gonna gamble, especially in "Football" which generated the most revenue on gambling. As you can see, even in the World Cup on QATAR with most religions countries.

Gambling revenue comparing 2018 world cup has just increase 13% without any betting sponsor.
I also think this will not create any difference in gambling. People will continue to gamble because they were used to it most particularly for football as it’s gaining a lot of popularity and demand from all gamblers all over the world. So with or without betting sponsor, gambling will still be a big hit for football as most of the audience too are probably fond in gambling.
