I may skip on this as I am not interested in making gambling as profiting area when i can feed my family lol.

I have a decent Job , I know little in trading , I have some funds on Hold and also I have funds in banks.

I don't think this will be necessary for me to learn and understand instead i will let my Luck dictates what is my gambling activities will end each time.

But thank you for the share mate, it is helpful for those regular  and addicted gamblers.

Yeah ofcourse not it does not mean that you should take this game as the only source of income. You have to understand that you can make wiser decisions in gambling. Especially in the games which does not only revolve around luck. These games might serve as a barrier between loosing and playing competitively and winning. They are all meant for fun but card games are sometimes important for other public matters as well, its not just gambling where you might be playing blackjack.

Learning new skills is always time consuming and does pose a challenge therefore I do think getting a free course won't really hamper your time, but ofcourse the amount of time and commitment that it does need is a bit extra and only serious people would be able to learn from the beginning to the ending.

According to the Wikipedia blackjack is described as :
Quote
Blackjack is a casino banking game. The most widely played casino banking game in the world, it uses decks of 52 cards and descends from a global family of casino banking games known as Twenty-One. This family of card games also includes the British game of Pontoon and the European game, Vingt-et-Un

This game is not just Luck but its also focused on skills as well therefore more amateur gamblers find it hard to play these games without prior experience in it. It's always good to learn the old fashioned way or to go on YouTube as well, but recently according to an article published on gamblinginsider, the OnlineGambling is providing a free course for amateur players regarding black jack.
It would be over 70 episodes and around 2 hour insight as well. It would comprise of not just basic gameplay but also complex strategic moves as well. They are calling it the BlackJack Academy.
I think this would be extremely helpful for anyone who wants to learn blackjack or to improve their skills as well.

At the same time if you are finding a good platform to play blackjack, I would recommend you to try https://blackjack.fun/as well.
Other than that it's a great initiative since players would be able to :
1. Improve
2. Make better decisions
3. Play competitively and win more !!
4. Gain more confidence

What do you think about this initiative??
Are you going to sign up ??
583  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia considers accepting Bitcoin for oil and gas on: April 04, 2022, 04:52:22 PM
Russia would accept anything for oil and gas. There were comments made about how "cryptocurrencies are too small for Russia"
Then EU making it clear that "Bitcoins is involved in sanctions against Russia"
Them making it clear that they are not going to ban the crypto mining in the country makes it clear that they are in a desperate situation and in the last if they would have tried banning bitcoins they would not do it again since at this moment it's actually very important to get financial aid from some place and since no one would agree to pay in rubles they might be more malleable to pay in Bitcoins therefore I do think that this is something that Russians would try to do. Sell oil for bitcoins but EU won't let them take advantage of cryptocurrencies like that and still try and track them. Also these transactions are not hidden, they are semi transparent therefore I do think that it can be used against them as well.
584  Economy / Economics / Re: New Financial Year Begins | Are you ready? on: April 04, 2022, 04:00:14 PM
That's good to know that so many people on this forum are super accomplished! I generally would have tried finding a job but unfortunately I have a lot of other problems going on at the moment, because of the war am unable to go anywhere else and find a job, still waiting in the UK for work permit which might or might not come through.
Therefore I do think that for the time being I will try and accumulate some money by simply drawing/sketching as a freelancer but the market is not really amazing in that area therefore it cannot be taken as a regular job at the moment.
Other than that the signature campaign are what's keeping the food on the table! So the whole financial year is actually dependent on how the war will eventually turn out in the end, hopefully things can go normal soon enough. But for the time being :
1. No credit cards
2. Try and get the debts on track
3. Try and find an online job
585  Economy / Economics / Re: The first country in Europe to pay for gas to Russia in rubles on: April 04, 2022, 03:20:35 PM
According to media reports, the Vatican Bank has accepted payments for Russian gas in rubles.
The source also said that the Vatican bought rubles from the Central Bank of Russia for the equivalent of 10 million euros and that the Vatican has completed all the necessary steps in the method of purchasing gas in rubles.

Currently the news has not been confirmed by either party, but if this is true and creates a domino effect. It can be said that European sanctions against Russia have failed.

source: https://iravaban.net/en/375887.html

So western sanctions failed to destroy the Russian economy. Now it seems this war was actually profitable for Putin. All those who were calling Putin a mad man and responsible for the downfall of Russia's economy now can enjoy the flourishment of rubles. West can try to find an alternative to Russian gas but they will never match the cost of Russian gas.

Fortunately you are wrong.
Russians do have bear the weight of the sanctions ofcourse and their economy is not just being destroyed but also these are causing long term effects. Some countries would ofcourse agree to pay them in rubles but this would only give a small pump to their already destroyed economy.
There is definitely a rebound of Russian Ruble and the price is increasing but this does not mean that the value would go back even if there are countries like India, China they would still need much more support to make their economy better and stronger.
It is a joke



I wanted to have the real knowledge but it is not real that it happened. It may be an April fool joke that the media got to it and it spread. The media can be one of the source for knews not verified. So it was a joke from the information that I got above.

Now this is something that might cause probelms, people spreading such jokes causes problems overall and it ends up influencing the people in a negative way for sure. Therefore one must be really careful while spreading such information!!
586  Economy / Gambling / Re: PRIMEDICE weak self-exclusion system on: April 04, 2022, 02:37:50 PM
Hi!
It's essential to know that you can also block any specific site through your browser directly which would mean that this would increase your chances of staying away from the gambling sites you usually use as well.
At the same time every site does have different relationships with their exclusion system therefore you might have to stop, take a deep breath and then you have to actually get special help, you have to try and get the professional help because gambling related additions are still addiction which needs not only medications but it also needs professional attention as well, therefore I would advice you to look at your governmental system and see if you can actually find a way to get it for free, most of the countries do offer free healthcare especially for gambling addiction.
I would advice you to find help online first if you are not really comfortable with going to the doctor directly. Hopefully you will be able to get through it !
587  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: imagine a world without Bitcoin on: April 04, 2022, 02:04:32 PM
98% of people want to be part of bitcoin world because of it usefulness or benefits.


A very strong and confident remark. Do you have concrete confirmation of such "statistics" or is it just your desire? Show me a link to such wonderful news. It would be a big win if bitcoin was popular at that percentage. Wink

Maybe it's 98% of the users of Bitcoins, we don't know we can't really get exact stats when we are talking about bitcoins and cryptocurrencies because everyday there is new stats that we can generally find.

Around 22% of the adult population holds Bitcoins in America therefore this stats is definately up and down.

Correction noted.

Great! But I still don't think that 98% people in crypto are here just because Bitcoin is so useful. Where did you get that information from? Or is that just your own estimation?

It's not just about being useful, sometimes it's the necessity as well, it's basically necessary to make sure that you keep in touch with the tech as well, some places also have an internal necessity of using Bitcoins and other cryptos at the moment like *ukraine* *Russia* it's serving its role amazingly in the war as well. Therefore this also needs to be noted. When fiat fails people have something to back up to!
588  Economy / Economics / Re: Pay in rubles or have your gas shut off by April on: April 01, 2022, 05:58:43 PM
Because of the Sanctions the only thing that the Russians have is this Gas deal therefore if they increase their prices they would be able to gain some money off the sanctions and that is what they are trying to do at the moment as well. When Putin is threatening this he needs to understand that he cannot sit and eat gas or convert it into money therefore he is playing hard ball.

Europe needs Russian gas definately they cannot survive off any energy being deviated from other countries since that would take a while and it would be able to meet all the energy needs of Europe as well. Therefore they have to set prices with him since there are still countries like India who are willing to buy their gas ⛽ which he is providing them with at a much reasonable price even after the increase.

So :
1. Europe needs to set a price up which would not interfere with the sanctions
2. Russia need to stop playing hardball because they are not going to reach anywhere else with this
589  Economy / Gambling / Re: how to choose best Gambling website for Gambling ? on: April 01, 2022, 05:20:52 PM
I am very new to gambling, I am facing many issues for this but I don't understand such as: RTP, house edge I don't understand these things. What  should I need to keep in mind  to choose a good gambling website?

Hi !
You should understand the fact that most of the time the choice of a Gambling site would be :
1. Personal
2. Based on Games you might wanna play
Therefore that means that you would have to look for the sites and find the one that you like the most along the way. But at the same time it's advisable to choose sites that are :
1. Enrolling forum members for signature campaigns and are trusted
Exception: there are sites like 1xbit which have a lot of probelms with the people but they are also on there so you need to check their trust rating as well
2. Check their review
You can look on BTCgosu definately, they provide good reviews and the owner is a trusted member on the forum as well
3. Look for the sites ANN as well, there you can find a lot of important information and it can also work as a review place for you !!

Best of luck !
590  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling Sites April Fool offers on: April 01, 2022, 03:51:14 PM
It's not really a great day to give offers because most people think this is nothing but a prank so only few people will get attracted towards the offers. And also nobody wants them to make themselves enjoying on this day by making fun on their own hope this is a day to get fun in the real world.

"Few years back if I remember a renowned company posted an advertisement where they were giving a free car in exchange of their old car and only one person showed up "
Well I do not remember which company it was but it was for sure a heck of an offer therefore if we do see some of the offers like this we might find something even more surprising, no one knows!! Therefore I do think that if someone sees an offer *take it!* But unfortunately I haven't seen offers on most sites right now.

Winz.io's casino promotion for the April Fool's Day is 300 free spins on Joker Queen + 10% cashback up to 5 mBTC, as I noticed in their official thread. I am not aware of any other casino promotions.

300 Free Spins + 10% Cashback 🃏 No Wagering Weekend 🃏

To celebrate April Fools' Day, this weekend you will get up to 300 free spins in Joker Queen by Bgaming + 10% up to 5 mBTC / 220 USD cashback on all games in the Cashback category. This time it is games that you will definitely enjoy playing on April Fools' Day.

▶️ Get bonuses ◀️


Am going to check it out if it's for everyone but you might need to ofc make an initial deposit beyond a certain value. But then again these might be other sites which might send you a nice April's Fool offer, might wanna keep an eye for that as well!

Best of luck ! Do post if you find other offers.
591  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia Was Prepared to Withstand Sanctions. Why Wasn't Europe Prepared to Impose on: April 01, 2022, 02:46:02 PM
For me, everything is clear. Europe and America are accustomed to considering themselves the leading countries that can very easily manipulate all other countries. But the pressure on Russia did not begin even in 2014; hatred for Russians is born deep in history. But as the Russians say: "everything that does not kill us makes us stronger" Therefore, the Russian government, feeling another negative influence, as well as a dictatorship from the West, has always understood that it is necessary to prepare for the fact that sooner or later, this abscess of hatred will breakthrough. And as an example of today's events, the Russians were right.
They are ready for all sanctions, as they probably worked out all the situations that could happen in the future. But all other countries, mistakenly taking on the role of head of the world, did not take any action, always thinking that power and strength would always be theirs. But now everyone understands that this Russia is not so weak, for which it was taken earlier.

What do you mean ?
You clearly cannot start a war and send threats to the whole world regarding a nuclear weapon usage if they do not comply and push them in a corner, NO MATTER WHAT.

NOTHING GIVES THEM ANY RIGHT TO PROVE THEIR POWER IN THIS WAY. If they wanted to show their power then they could have gone through other way, by helping other countries, by increasing their country's overall power in a positive way, making good oil deals and making sure they do this in peace and harmony.

This could very easily surge in a world war 3 if they don't stop and at the same time one needs to understand the fact that :

They are already loosing no matter what ! They have lost their respect, their friends, their businesses and they would loose more if they don't stop.

This is a government, not a dictatorship, last time I checked it wasn't named North Korea, was it. I do think that you have to understand that This threatens the whole world, everything, everyone.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is the "Draw No Bet" not found on most sportsbook on: April 01, 2022, 01:21:08 PM
Having played on several sportsbook platform's over the years both IRL and online,  I have noticed that most of these bookies
today don't have the " draw no bet" market. What could be their reasons for not giving us this market? Could it be that it's a less money generating market for most sportsbooks out there?

Let's analyse this :

If we are doing the probability of winning, loosing or draw, that leaves us with 3 outcomes which does mean that probability of a person betting would eventually be 1/3 in any winning instance. Which does mean that the person would have more options but at the same time the probability of winning would be less.
PROBABILITY OF WINNING 1/3
When we talk about the draw no bet, the draw generally leaves the whole equation which does mean that 1/2 would be the probability of winning, meaning they will have less choices but higher probability of winning.
I do think that the sports book generally leave this out so that they do not have to deal with this and the whole event is also more beneficial for them.
PROBABILITY OF WINNING 1/2

The funniest bit is considering the complexity of the questions, I honestly just woke up and was posting for a moment and thought this is outrageous indeed!! since considering the question; Which of the following medications is for enuresis? Wink I was a bit shocked if the questions would be harder every second but then realized it's 1st April and took a deep breath.
The hardest bit is seeing your IQ actually in the corner 😂 and I apparently got 110 for the moment. ((Much like the online classes going on during the pandemic, this would be a sure shot training for looking for the answers on the Google))
But then again I will never forget the answer : Arginine Vasopressin. Hopefully I never need the answer tho !! Happy April Fool's Day ))
594  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Kraken Exchange Integrates with Bitcoin's Lightning Network on: April 01, 2022, 12:26:38 PM
There are very few exchanges in the market at the moment who have the support for the lightning network, few of them being very less known, which does mean that kraken might be the most famous one out there with lightning network integration.
This was very important since the network's fee has to be controlled and we can see an increase in the price anytime, making it more difficult for users to transfer small amounts. This would also have a scope for the improvement of the lightning network as well. The more it would be in the usage, the more it would be better overall.
Many issues were already sorted out in 2021 will it's capacity reaching all time high in 2022.
I think it's a great move, they are late ofc, but still people are going to be benefited from this no doubt!! Hopefully other exchanges would also see this and get motivated to add lightning network as well.
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: March 31, 2022, 06:45:28 PM
a
It was a bad illegal knee by Yan. I thought at that stage of the fight Aljo was a lot fatigued and it seemed like he could be knocked down at any moment but Yan did not take that chance. Instead, he threw an illegal knee. And Aljo is a tough guy. If he could get up he would have got up.
It was definitely a nasty illegal blow, although I do get the impression that he played on it a bit, despite it being a heavy blow. At that point in the fight, the only way he was winning was through disqualification or via a shocking knockout/submission. Plus, we've seen it before where fighters are asking what will happen with the result, as some times they reward it based on the rounds passed or they deem it a no contest. So, it's no longer allowed to ask the ref that, and they can only answer the doctors questions.

Yeah, he played it. How much is anybody's guess, but, again, I will not shun him completely for doing so. In the end, it's the old 'don't hate the player, hate the game' situation in a sense that if the ruleset allows it..well, it's the rullset. As I said, we can twist and turn this whichever way, but I doubt we can make a decisive conclusion out of anything.

Yeah, we beat that topic to death when it happened, and we really couldn't find a definitive conclusion on how it should have played out. But the outcome has been set and moving forward from that I kinda wonder what Aljo brings to the table much more than Yan. Not sure if he could still win, but at least we might get a better performance from him.
I'm hoping so, you can't really blame Aljo for winning in that way, so it wasn't his fault, and its not like hes got to where he is out of luck. The guy is talented, I just think Yan in particular is a bad match up for him. Although, Aljo has the quality to submit, and knock out anyone. I've always been impressed with his wrestling skills, and it wouldn't be the first time that hes losing, and pulls out a submission out of nowhere.
 
I'm not super hyped for the fight, however I'm hoping its better than last time. I'm not a fan of total dominance fights, I prefer you know, an actual competitive fight.

I completely understand not being really hyped about the fight. I would say it's partially because of how the first fight went, but it's also the fact that the market is oversaturated IMHO. There is to much going on and I just feel like that takes away from the anticipation of certain fights. At least that is my feeling.
Don't think you both watched fight, or your memory serves you incorrectly- which is understandable for the way aljo was after the fight. Embarassing to say the least, claiming to be champ when he was "outclassed". I love Yan, but he first fight was highly competitive. Aljo had only once fought in the later rounds since his first UFC appearance. Although he slowed down considerably, his stamina and ability was on clear display. You can't take a hit like aljo was in the the 4th if your not in considerably good shape. Yan is a patience killer, excellent boxing, and for his size, suprisingly good wrestling. Aljo, although his style ultimately led to his demise, the constant movement. He has a unique style with a huge arsenal of attacks and is a dangerous man. The first fight wasn't a domination, it was skill and endurance between two of the very best. Really looking forward to the rematch. Aljo has nothing to lose with everything to prove and think he may get the win by submission, early. If not, Yan will pick him apart on the feet going five rounds. Let's go uncle dana
596  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are Your Kids Aware Of Bitcoin? Teach Them. on: March 31, 2022, 05:55:28 PM
This does not even mean that you need to have kids to be able to teach them about bitcoins, you can influence them as a teacher as well. I used to teach in Ukraine before the war broke out and some of the kids from the age of 5 were already involved in courses related to cryptocurrencies. Now these kids would reference to Bitcoins and ask me questions and other kids would be equally interested as well, therefore I use to show them my wallet, how these numbers mean you can exchange them in money and give them a simplified idea of the addresses as well. This was honestly very much a great idea since I do think most of them would grow up in a crypto positive household and at the same time they would also have more financial freedom as well, thereby changing the whole community.
597  Economy / Economics / Re: New crypto law in Bangladesh? on: March 31, 2022, 05:27:10 PM
I do think they fully understand the fact that : what they say does not really matter since at the end of the day people would still use the cryptocurrencies and other non governmental currencies to make payments perse since government is right now at a stage where these fiat does not hold a solid value causing huge probelms for the people since they cannot invest as well. Due to pandemic the value of these things are falling down every second therefore I do think government tries to actually control the investment, money through making such laws, to Direct the inflow of money into governmental assets. That's why they try and ban cryptocurrencies and and tries to make people adopt the governmental digital currencies which are indeed nothing but fiat served with different sauce.
598  Economy / Gambling / Re: BoleBit|Multi-language Crypto game provider with all Currencies&Cryptocurrencies on: March 31, 2022, 04:20:55 PM
to be clear, The game is still not released and demo games will only be available 3 months from now so it means that real game will be available after 3 months? I already visit the website especially demo slot games, The UI/UX of the game is good for the slot games but the only thing I'm concerned is the leaglity of this Casino, I notice that this Casino is operating in China, Is this even legal? I mean gambling is very strict in China so in case the casino was cracked down by law enforcement, Players money will be in vain because it will be confiscated by the government. It's just odd for me for a Chinese casino start there business here.

That's a very good point but targetting audience outside the China can prove negative as well since the government can crack down, make new laws and at the same time confiscate the whole thing. I do understand you guys are trying to add so many languages here which I do think is a good idea. But it's the starting of the game at the moment and therefore you should first try and gather more audience, you can start by :
1. Organizing competitions
2. Running campaigns
3. Getting a poll out for most languages that might be wanted by the people
4. Get legal issues explained first, since people would be most worried about them.

As I see it, it's a whole process, best of luck, it's advisable to buy license from some other country no doubt.
599  Economy / Economics / Re: china's harsh exploitation on crypto assets on: March 31, 2022, 03:22:16 PM
China basically wants to control the population through harsh administrative control and at the same time they have to understand the fact that it's important for people to have free control of assets and their currencies as well which does mean that people will find a way out of the administrative controll that means China will have a brain drain soon. Meaning china is going to loose the IT sector definitely.

they have banned crypto in the past few months,,, and it slightly affects crypto prices globally, especially BTC, but not too significant because their market in the crypto world is not too big compared to America

It won't affect the crypto currency at all since it would affect it for the short term but for the long run it would end up better for the bitcoin sector since they would loose that control which is much better since they won't be able to manipulate the market anymore.
600  Economy / Gambling / Re: Do you prefer lots of promotions over better RTP? on: March 31, 2022, 02:27:16 PM
See Promotions are something thats really good to get the people in there, in the new sites since most of the times people do join sites due to promotions as well but ofc RTP matters more since that's something that is going to keep the people in the long haul.

I think RTP is more important that promotions but promotions are definitely important for the short term! I have joined plenty of sites because of the promotions but ended up staying with the one's I liked more, they might not have much promotions but at the end the sites offer better and longer lasting impression on the users and it is more credible and trusted.
