1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing all your fortune with just 3 years on: May 12, 2024, 05:47:13 PM
According to this article https://g2g.news/gaming/gambling-whale-the-story-of-terrance-watanabe-who-wagered-800-million-in-a-year/#:~:text=The%20case%20was%20eventually%20settled,rights%20on%20the%20life%20Watanabe.

The case he filed against the casino was settled probably on his favor but the damage is too much for the mere settlement for his case. The guy is once the richest man in Nebraska then blow up everything with a few years of high stake gambling.

I believe the casino should be party responsible to this since they knew how huge the money this guy lose yet they continue to offer him a huge credit line to gamble even though the intoxication is clearly visible.
2  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If all your wages were paid in USDT, would you accept it? on: May 12, 2024, 05:15:58 PM
If your salary was not US dollars, but USDT, would you dare to ask for it? Although USDT can facilitate transfers and cross-border payments, thinking about the fluctuations and risks makes me feel a little panicked! It can’t be used everywhere in daily life, What do you think? Come and chat!

Why you will need a fake USD in the form of USDT while USD is more convenient for an instant use of your salary. Also USDT frequently depegging which means you will earn slightly less if you choose USDT instead of direct USD.

You can easily deposit fiat on CEX since the P2P feature on exchange gives you the option to place an order wit( your desired price so you don’t need to rely on USDT and just purchase the crypto that you want using your fiat. USDT is a very shady stable coin which is not worthy to use as substitute to fiat when it comes for salary purposes.

Tomorrow we will see the game 3, let's see if they can still handle the Pacers without OG who had a huge contribution in the game 2 win before he got injured. And as per report, there's even a possibility that Bruson might not play as he was lited as questionable.

It will be a very hard task for Knicks to beat Pacers without OG and Brunson not only because of the home court advantage of Pacers but also they are already in close match when Knicks has strong line-up with the 2 players is active. I doubt that the current Knicks without Brunson can beat a solid Pacers.

I think Knicks will still face a difficulty beating Pacers in home court even with OG and Brunson in the court so I think they might use game 3 and 4 for regrouping then focus on the remaining games until their starters come back.
Let's wait until the actual game starts. Because I am not sure with all of these reports become a tactic for these teams to make their rival confident that if one of their stars aren't going to play, they will have an advantage. I am not really sure but it seems that it's sort of a mind game to me until the game starts and with that rumored player won't be playing actually entered to the first five.  Grin

I’m late to response here but my prediction went well about Knicks can’t keep up with Pacers even with Brunson available and OG is the only one missing. Pacers was lead by Hali properly that creates a lot of opening and at the same time score for himself.

Knicks have a good run despite OG absence since DiVincenzo step up and cover for OG yet they fall short since Pacers is too consistent until the end while the Knicks is just too tired for keeping up with Pacers phase.

OG will still out for tonight’s match. I’m expecting that this series will be even.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Using A Journal Spreadsheets Will Pave The Way For Addiction To Gambling on: May 12, 2024, 04:19:03 PM
Honestly, it's a lot of work. I've tried it before during the FIBA basketball league and I can say that it takes a lot of effort to put it all on the list especially if there are a lot of games that will happen in a day.
But I cannot say that I went through gambling addiction just by doing that. It just made me realize how much my winning and losing rates and I can say I've won some amount but didn't really feel it because I was also playing casino games while doing the sports betting in the said event.

It's not about taking it seriously, recording things can help to decide your next bet, and history could sometimes repeat itself so you can use that record in the spreadsheet and maybe increase your winning chance.

Done this using my laptop and I don’t find it complicated thing to do since it just a simple copy paste once the result is out. Casino has a category for settled bets and summarized everything that makes it very easy to transfer on spreadsheet via computer.

Unless you are making hundred bets a day then this task is really complicated. But normal sports bettor/gambler usually have a few picks for the day while casino records are available under the profile transaction history. Some casino even have a statistics feature that shows your gambling progress on different time frames.

I’m not sure what shit you are talking about but money enter on Bitcoin right after the potential ETF approval sparks due to the Blackrock ETF proposal. Those bullshit assumption that “smart money” moves on crypto before war spark doesn’t make sense since Bitcoin price went sideways for a long time with occasional dump due to this war and inflation news on US.

Bitcoin price just went up straight due to ETF and Bitcoin halving hype that just happened started last year. I don’t believe about smart money you are talking about that position early but the recent price growth is quick and based on the factor that I mention.

"FreeBitco.in is the third-largest internet gaming site"

- Which are the 1st and the 2nd?


They arent crypto related but normal FIAT based.  This is the largest crypto one if I remember rightly because of the free dynamic, I dont know its true in revenue but maybe it is.   Being 3rd largest by revenue would surely be a ton of money, I think they mean customers and visits that internet sites measure rather then size of trade exactly as there are alot of news social sites etc.  

   TBH I'm thinking FBC should just consider going with adverts if it helps them raise their guard, increase their activity etc. but presumably they prefer the low key basic kind of site and I like that too over anything crowded; its just they do have alot of options in a multitude of directions so who knows.   I'm already well versed on the fashion captcha picture tests so maybe some random retail isnt a big deal Tongue

Where the hack do you get this stats? 3rd largest with this kind of support?

Is Duelbits, Stake, Bitcasino, Sportsbet, Metawin and other huge brand is lower compared to this casino? Maybe this casino is probably one of the oldest casino but classifying them as the 3rd largest is not that accurate considering how other casino here allocated budget for their promotion is insane.

Also do you forgot that you even promote the most popular crypto casino on your signature space?
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Attempting to turn 0.05 BTC into 1.7 BTC on: May 11, 2024, 04:30:59 PM

Unfortunately, the game ended with 2:1. After that goal in 64 min. there were no more goals and this bet was lost. I was rooting for the OP to win this second bet, but it didn't come to that. Maybe it's too late to talk about what he could have done better, he tried and failed... but he should definitely study some tips from this thread if he wants to try again.

So Savingformedschool do you plan to try again?

His last login date is the same time he made his last post for the second bet. I doubt that he will be coming back for more since he is saving for his meds school yet he might ended up working on McDonalds full time if he keeps doing this kind of high risk gambling using the funds for his study.

Worst case scenario is when he took a loan and gamble again in hopes to recover funds and at the same time reach the target profit. I’m surprised that have the luxury to gamble this funds while he is badly in need money for his future.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When did you realize you need to be a responsible gambler so you can continue ? on: May 11, 2024, 03:46:49 PM
I choose I’m a responsible person because I’m financial manager and deal with my finances properly before I start learning gambling here in the forum. I only gamble for experience purposes since I’m working with casino signature campaign that requires gambling post.

But I’m only using funds I earned on crypto without involvement of my personal earnings from my job. This makes me confident enough that I will not be greedy on wasting my hard earned money from work on gambling addiction.

There’s only one time which I become irresponsible gambler but luckily it turns out in my favor.  Wink
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did you start investing in bitcoin because of some celebrity ? on: May 11, 2024, 02:45:43 PM
I see that current youth is inspired by celebrities and influencers in big way. Did you also start investing in bitcoin because of some celebrity ? Or you know people who belong to that category ?

I start investing on Bitcoin before any celebrity talking about crypto. I invest on Bitcoin because I’m amazed on blockchain technology while this shitty celebrity is just using crypto specifically Bitcoin to milk with their followers through shitcoin investments attaching Bitcoin popularity on it.

Quote
Is it a wise decision to do so or we should do our own research for better results ?

Obviously NO, most of the celebrity doesn’t know what they are talking about because their intention is for money only. Always DYOR(Do Your Own Research) in crypto because there’s a lot of scam in here.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They put an end to online gambling: what do you think it's going to happen? on: May 11, 2024, 12:28:37 PM
So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all.

Sounds like an obvious made up story since no one will ever discuss this kind of conversation regarding gambling in a bus as if it’s a necessity for everyone. I believe this is only applicable on states like Vegas which casino is main source of income of most worker in there.

Quote
So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?

Again gambling is not a necessity. I think anyone can easily cope up on gambling unless you are already an addicted gambler. You can always socialize with your friends as substitute for gambling entertainment.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Fixed supply doesn't matter (change my mind) on: May 11, 2024, 12:23:37 PM
If fixed supply can be infinitely inflated (when it comes to price) and thus creating a bubble that can burst, it is not being different from supply that is not fixed.

Example, current Bitcoin price inflated by Tether printer with no real backing.


Fixed supply of BTC doesn't matter, when the price can be infinitely inflated by Tether printer.

You are the only one referring for a price growth as inflation while it’s just a sign that the demand is increasing for Bitcoin. It’s just a simple rule of supply and demand, Bitcoin has a limited supply while the demand is increasing due to its popularity so it’s normal effect is to pump the price because no one wants to sell at low price.

Besides, Despite a shadiness surrounded on USDT. It has an audit for their reserves which backed their value. Tether is not the only stablecoin right now on crypto.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Expertise in Sports and Sports Market Knowledge on: May 10, 2024, 04:14:48 PM
I’m confused on the quoted post that you share here. He earlier mention that “not knowing” the sports is an advantage yet on the end part he is emphasizing that knowledge on sports is the key to success which is contradicting to each other.

The later part is always the fact here. Being knowledgeable on what you are doing especially sports will give you higher winning chance rate since you are partly relying on your skills and not pure luck. Sportsbook has a house too which means being knowledgeable can counter this initial handicap from the casino.

14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where Will It Go If The Money Comes From Illegal Source on: May 10, 2024, 02:59:44 PM
Casino license comes with regulation from AMLA. Their license is jot only for display but as compliance with authorities to avoid crime within their business. As many already pointed out, illegal funds will go to the authorities which the user is under jurisdiction.

Casino will face legal issue if ever they owned the money from illegal source because they will be part of the crime which is a huge loss rather than keeping the illegal money on their own. Most of the time, Casino refund the deposit of users with suspicion of money laundering and just seize the profit made on the account.

I never saw a case so far that ended up with actual money laundering.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You sing A Journal, Spreadsheets Will Fave The Way For Addiction To Gambling on: May 09, 2024, 04:36:12 PM
Does anyone here have their own journal or spreadsheets, and are you taking gambling seriously?
I know a friend who is good at keeping records of his gambling endeavors and he would always determine if he has made a profit or loss at the end of the year. He is not a gambling addict but he sees gambling as a serious business. I don't have any history of recording my gambling activities and I don't have any intention to keep such document. I gamble with what I would have spent on biscuits or junk, so the money is insignificant. I just think that it is unnecessary to have such records since what I spend is just little to keep a record. Keeping records will be also time-consuming and I don't think I have such time to spare. But I think that people who keep records about an activity, take it seriously. 

I do this kind of recording because my job is always makes me track everything that regard finances. I always check my gambling stats at the end of my game just to compared it to my previous game and overall records.

It’s y way of organizing my expenses and track whether I’m spending too much on gambling. Being serious on managing bankroll is not a sign of addiction but rather a form pf being responsible since you will know if you re already over committed on gambling or not.

It’s funny how other people think of being serious = addicted on gambling while we should be serious on gambling because there’s moneh involved here.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Peoples expectations about casinos free spins on: May 09, 2024, 03:56:36 PM

Free spins are not supposed to enrich you, take them as a demo to see how the online casino feels like.



Free spins is literally what it's name implies. You shouldn’t consider it as demo just to try slot games since all slot games has a dedicated demo mode for that purposes. Free spin is introduced to make players feel the urge of gambling by playing with real money at small amount since casino expect that gambler will just lose the free spin reward instantly then let them tempted to withdraw using their own money later on

Quote
What about you ? How do you feel about about free spins?

I always use free spin as an extra life line for my bankroll. It’s an additional money for bankroll which the wagering requirements will be completed naturally by my wager since I plan to gamble already before I avail the free spin.

Free spin is an extra money which is a must to avail if you are a regular gambler so that your regular wager will have another purpose to clear extra reward aside from your bet profit.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 09, 2024, 03:04:28 PM

If a child is addicted to gambling at a young age, that child's life can never be good.

I don’t consider this as a form of addiction but rather just a curiosity to explore gambling at young age. Addiction is different from being curious to try things until you make it a hobby.

Quote
So we should prevent young children from gambling and if we do not discipline our children properly, our children's lives will be affected. 

This is the tricky part. At age like the subject on OP which most of the bettors think of them as good to bet means there’s no way to control all of their movement especially on gambling since you can’t monitor them 100% when they are at school.

Limiting their money allowances is the best way to control this behavior because they can’t gamble if they have money to play.

In long run they were not interested to have listening on any exchange because they were never been give any update or having any activity about this so most chances we will be not had anything related to this in near future but if someone from team having change of mind in coming months this could be also beneficial for them and community as well.


Betfury already make a clear opinion about exchange listing is not their top priority anymore especially on CEX that has a much complicated requirements for listing gambling tokens. They are only prioritizing DEX listing and offers partnership benefits in a form of boosted APR for staking BFG and DEX utility token.

Quote
This is good news now they are updating tokenmics and giving good updates about their future if they are keep going like this surely we will be having more increase in price which will be helpful for the investors and also for this token with now they need to think about listening as well which will be give them good response if they are looking for the license.

The current update doesn’t give any huge impact on the overall valuation of the token since they just offer a long term lock with enhance APR without any real additional feature that will rewards token holders.

Tama ka dyan kabayan, kaya yung iba is mas gusto pang pumunta sa ibang board kesa dito sa local natin kasi alam nilang mas mataas chance makakuha sila ng merit doon.

Sa totoo lang ay halos wala ka talagang pagasa mag rank up kung aasa ka lng sa posting dito sa board dahil walang sMerit na nagcicirculate sa local board natin na worthy para mag rankup ang isang user. Halos wala yatang 50 merits ang narereceive ng local board natin per month kaya mas mainam talaga na sa global board nlng mag post kagaya ng Meta at Beginners & Help na mdalas madaming nagbibigay ng merit.

Yung mga merit thread pati na kagaya ng kay Filippone at TSC ang talagang helpful dito sa para sa kagaya ng local board natin na walang merit circulation.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.

Land based or physical casinos carries the 18 years warning sign to deter underage from gambling but sadly, people do not heed to this warning in some countries. The gambling attendant do not need to ask for IDs to verify their age, seeing the school children on uniform is enough reason to chase them away. Even if they've clocked 18 years, after school hours they're supposed to go home, freshen up before anything else. If it were in some part of the world, the he could get locked up for allowing the kids to gamble.

In general, I agree on this since students in my country is not even allowed to enter on computer shop which is play for online games only when they are on school uniform.

But the OP never mention what is the exact age of the student because there’s an instances that a college student has an age above 18 when their course is 5 years or they repeat some school year. I have a lot of classmate before that is around 25 above while I’m still 18 on college since they stop many school year due to poverty then later on back to school after they already have money to finish their studies.

I doubt this is the case on this discussion but I’m totally okay if these students is same of what I’m referring.
