Online gambling is always tempting because it can always be accessed anytime and anywhere so it will be a little difficult for someone to stop betting because they have access to continue visiting the online site and if that is difficult, planning funds for gambling and limiting losses or limiting winnings is the way to go. It best to avoid bad things that will happen if you continue betting on gambling and I remember that controlling emotions is also important when it comes to gambling because these emotions can prevent us from committing to something that has been planned.
Always obeying the rules that have been planned independently and adhering to the budget that has been planned in advance will make gamblers healthier in terms of betting without spending a lot of money and money in their savings.
Yeah, Online gambling is the nightmare of those user that has no self control even on physical casino. I believe it will be difficult to discipline yourself about budget you will use on gambling most importantly if you are living on your own since no one can help you while someone in the influence of gambling addiction usually has the tendency of no self control.

Locking your funds or moving on a wallet that you have temporarily no access is the best way to avoid over spending. This is assuming worst case scenario that you will lose a lot and has the urge to play more.
That is if they are computer literate because I believe many physical casino players are adults. Even though their hands are itchy, they can't do anything to touch online casinos. Budgeting is difficult because we humans are always greedy and has a desire for those things which are not really important but we can always try to discipline our selves even just a little. If you are still single, over spending in gambling can be a lesser concern than if you already have a responsibility or family to feed. I'm not sure if there are such wallets that you said but I like it better because even me, I'm also tempted wherever I see that my online wallet still have some balances left.

The maximum effort that Porto, Shakhtar and Antwerp can make is to hold Barcelona to a draw in the remaining three group phase matches, the rest or let's say beating Barcelona seems quite difficult for these three clubs. I think it is very clear now that Xavi squad is guaranteed to qualify as group H winners, and I predict that in the next three matches they will again be able to secure full points.

It is clear that Barcelona meeting with Bayern Munchen is one of the most awaited ones, and is an ideal match because both are considered the favorite clubs to win the UCL trophy this season. Although it's too early to say, I predict one of the two clubs will enter the final. I also understand that many surprises could happen in the future, especially if you see that many important Barcelona players are currently suffering from injuries.
Now with the current situation we can't expect good result from the Antwerp and Porto against Barcelona because Porto will be play away and Antwerp is not having enough quality to stop the Barcelona even they are playing at home which will give good advantage to Barcelona for the staying at the op and Shakhtar is difficult side with they can hold, but this is also not having good chance I have personal feeling most chances Barcelona could be stood at the top without losing any match.

Maybe this could be ideal match for you but for me this could be Bayern Munich match because they are having much better squad which can thrash any team in this event in any game because I have feeling most chances we will be having Manchester City, Bayern Munich or Real Madrid at the top with if any team can upset this is only Inter Milan all others are having no performance which is needed to be stood as champions of the Europe.

Financial instability yes. Emotional turmoil must also be linked to it. If our partner allows us to play gambling, we should only follow their advices. These includes stopping at the right time whether we are winning already or losing. As for the social isolation, I think this rarely happens to me because my wife is also a gambler so whenever I play I just do it beside her. Bonding between couples is important and it's amazing that gambling can be used for it.

You already said the benefits of gambling and maybe some husband knows what they are doing. If their partner are still restricting them, maybe they can decide to leave them. I wouldn't say it's wrong because woman are sometimes over too.

In other words, from time to time we will analyze our position and our assets and we might even start to determine that we can change our strategy because we have accumulated enough BTC... whether that happens in 1-2 years or maybe it takes 15 years to 20 years, this will vary from person to person regarding how long it might take for the person to start to consider that s/he has enough and s/he can transition from accumulation stage to maintenance stage. and sure maybe the transition will not be 100% clear because even if someone is in maintenance stage they still might accumulate BTC from time to time, but not be so concerned about accumulation because overall such person has determined that s/he has gotten enough bitcoin.
Am being inquisitive right now. So your saying that there might be a time when one feels he has accumulated enough bitcoin and would decide to only maintain the Bitcoin  he has accumulated. I am aware of people saying that accumulating Bitcoin has been an obsession to them irrespective of the amount of Bitcoin they have they still accumulate as much of it as possible since they have the money to put it in. Assuming someone is obsessed is it something that is wrong or it is good especially in this present time?
If only I could Pm so you teach me your ways  Smiley
Yes, that is what he is telling there. It's interesting but it's true that Bitcoin can make someone obsessed with it. I've seen threads like that here in the forum. It was only a bad thing because it is not different from being addicted on to some other thing/s. This might be one of the disadvantages caused by investing (not only limited to BTC) so we shouldn't worry.

I understand on why people are being greedy with it, it is because the more asset they have the more money they can get once they sell it at its peak price. We should start to set limits. Not only that it can cut the risk but it can also help our mental health stable and free from issues.

I hope it's not that easy to say that Napoli will easily win this match. Even though it is true that Union Berlin is not as good as Napoli, Napoli itself is currently in a phase that is not very good. Moreover, they lost good players on their front line.
Union Berlin suffered 2 defeats in the Champions League, but that doesn't mean they can't recover to beat Napoli. In fact I also have Napoli as a favorite and I think most people would do the same. But they have to be careful, and also the luck factor might be something that makes this match different.
Union Berlin doesn't seem like a big obstacle for Napoli in the next match. Napoli, who previously lost to Real Madrid, could most likely win this away match without any problems, they also came with their entire best squad to the Berlin Olympic Stadium. Napoli are favorites in this match even though Union Berlin is playing in front of their fans, so there is little chance of it ending in a draw or both playing out a draw.

The Sevilla vs Arsenal match is also very interesting. Sevilla, who were held to a draw by Real Madrid in the La Liga match, may have to fight hard to beat Arsenal. Sevilla have only collected 2 points from 2 drawn matches, so they will definitely be motivated to win the match against Arsenal so that their chances in the group stage can be better.
Most chances Union Berlin will be having exit from this group after the end of group matches because their current form is also not good with things are looking not good against Napoli as well their first game against Real Madrid was impressive, but game against Braga was completely nightmare which give them shocking defeat and now having opponent like Napoli is also not easy most chances we will be having Real Madrid and Napoli from this group into knock out stage and Braga into Europa Cup.

Arsenal recent form is surely concern for them because they are having surprising defeat against Lens in France and now having another draw against Chelsea which is making things bad for them Sevilla is surely having good record at home for the European competitions with this most chances Arsenal will lose few points here as most chances we can watch draw or Sevilla win in this game.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 23, 2023, 06:01:39 PM
I think it's too early to talk about who will get a place in the Champions League for next season, because the league has just started and it's not even halfway through the season yet. It's still a long way to go to talk about who will be in first and second place.
Maybe at the moment Monaco and Nice can still be above Paris Saint Germain, but the question in my mind is whether they will be able to consistently maintain the place they are sitting now, because they still have a lot of games to play, and we also don't know what they will face later.
at the moment it is too early to speculate who will occupy first place in the League 1 standings, but in our opinion we all still really hope that PSG will be able to win the title in League 1, but in terms consistency, Monaco has been far superior since this season first started Monaco looks better stable while PSG still feels busy with it problems and problems that will come. Mbappe will leave PSG and with this problem PSG will experience slight decline and on one hand, Mbappe ambition is no longer like previous season because in almost every match I see Mbappe enthusiasm is no longer there its too big again and it all probably because of previous problems.

looking at point difference, it still very close and there will be many changes in position in the next few matches, but after that we can see if Mbappe is too far behind in points I think this season will not be PSG season.
I agreed about this it's too early to talk about title race with Monaco is having history of choking near the end of the season which mostly hurt them right now they are leading the table, but difference is just 2 points with Nice and PSG both are also doing impressive job Lille is also improving quality which will bring them to the better point in coming weeks in round 10 we have few interesting matches with Monaco is going to visit Lille which is having good record against them, so things can take change here PSG will visit Brest, and they are also going to host AC Milan for the Champions League match which is also not easy.

Nice which is having second spot with no lost in last nine games doing good job with clearly they can bring good challenge for these teams to have to stay at the better level if they want to compete with them and stay in touch for the title race.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time for bounties and airdrops as we near bull season on: August 12, 2023, 06:41:35 AM
While it's accurate that the current market conditions are significantly improved compared to last year, I hold the viewpoint that the bull market hasn't commenced just yet. Patience is required as we await further developments. Currently, the market appears to be in a state of consolidation. My faith in airdrops is limited, and even though bounties aren't offering substantial rewards, I've been engaging in bounty work for six years and relying on it for my livelihood.
I do agree with this and I think that it is important to remember that when the bull run starts you are going to see a huge increase and by the end of it we are going to see the price be a lot higher than ATH as well. This means that we haven't started yet and we are not doing that great just yet.

I understand that there is something that we could consider the situation to be a lot more important and the fix for this is that if we could keep holding bitcoin as long as we possibly could, then we are going to see the bull run. I keep saying that the huge bull run, the famous one where everything goes above ATH, will happen after the halving next year and that should be the most important thing when the time comes.

Glad that F1 is back again, and it's back with a very big kick. Right now, based on the odds it looks like Red Bull and Max is still at the top, but second team right now looks to be Aston Martin, the team that finished 7th last year, looks to be second this year, that's a big deal.

On the other hand, Leclerc and Hamilton comes back to back with Sainz following them and then George, which tells us that Sporsbet.io thinks these two teams are pretty close to each other, when in most cases people say Ferrari was far ahead, but then some issues happened during testing and practice sessions which dropped Ferrari far behind. I am guessing that it could be a race that may shock many many people.
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Elon Musk manipulating the market? on: June 15, 2021, 11:41:13 PM
I think Elon Musk will have a bit of leverage with his Twitter maybe to lower the Btc price but if we get carried away by such news then we will lose and lose a lot of money you invested.

Then what is the solution so that everyone is not affected by the tweets on Elon Musk's twitter account?
because most of Elon Musk's followers today still really believe in the words of Elon Musk.

I think the best way to approach this matter, is if you can't beat them, join them type thing. We can't stop Elon from tweeting what he wants, so why not take advantage of the market whenever he tweets something about crypto? Though he can't manipulate the market because no one can, but he has somewhat big influence in the market and influence how people think about it. And if you are a long time crypto user, I guess by now, how to react on this kind of hype.
that's what i am thinking about, as a long time crypto user i could say that just keep an eye on his tweets also, that can be the cause of biggest profit for most of the people. We should adjust ourselves to the situations and prepare for every up and down.
Also I think that crypto up and down related to his tweets will be for a little time as people will insult their minds from his tweet with time.
10  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do you know when to sell? on: June 15, 2021, 11:29:54 PM
I know its an individual thing, but if you are in an alt and it is pumping...when is the best time to sell? I feel as though every-time I am in a coin that starts to make some good gain I leave it to long to sell..Anyone else do that. I heard it is because of greed, we star imagining all things we can do with our new profits, but the longer we leave it the more chance of not making good profits. Does anyone have a good strategy for knowing when to sell?
If it is really pumped, maybe i will sell in 10-30% and get my capital back. And save the rest i mean about rest of my profit in that altcoin, maybe still pumped i can get more profit with it. If not, and i sell it when price back, maybe it is only reduce my profit and at least my capital already safe.

i think that is a good method for getting back your money and staying in safe zone, but talking about most of the people become the victims of greed and they keep on holding and holding so unfortunately majority can't get their expected money.
by the way my method for trading is that, if i get my expected profit then i withdraw my money and do not care about more pump.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BTC price VS gambling on: June 15, 2021, 11:22:55 PM
I think it depends on each person, if they are really addicted to gambling, whatever the bitcoin price is... they must have prepared themselves beforehand. But it's good for us to be smarter in responding to this, gambling is like entertainment and we really have to know when it's time to gamble.
We can gamble every day if we like to entertain every day, I'm sure there are people who are doing that and they have no problem with gambling. It's not really that risky if you have already learned to be responsible and you have matured as a gambler. What I'm talking about is always gamble according to your capacity, gambling with a limit is very important, it's a limitation of funds and time, but as I said, you can do that on a daily basis.

yes talking about every field, limitation is very important in life regarding every aspect, coming to the gambling i think it is such a thing that people always face difficulty in keeping themselves in limit and that ultimately lead to the misery. Another point is gambling with bitcoin i think not that much good as we all know that price is rising so we should focus on buying and holding according to our status.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: I cannot stop buying on: June 15, 2021, 11:16:14 PM
What's wrong here? As long as you are investing money that you can afford to lose, the there is nothing wrong with buying. Keep buying! You won't regret on the long run. Just don't sell when the market is crashing. You will be making some decent profit after few years. But if you are risking your money (by risking, i mean you are investing money that you can't afford to lose), then just stop and hold whatever you have invested. Don't invest anymore. Forget about your coins and come back after a decade or so.

yes i always refer and suggest this type of investment that is to invest those money which is spare because it will be a big injustice if someone invest the money that is for their daily life because nobody knows about the luck and the bad and good timings although exceptional people are there but one should not risk that much to invest whole of their money including the money for their basic needs.

14  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is trading an occupation? on: April 04, 2021, 11:33:09 AM
I know of so many who dropped their jobs to take up trading as a life time carrier despite the volatility of the market. A whole lot made hudge fortune from the market. So many made what the have never achieved throughout their life time in office jobs in few trades. Some other set abandoned their jobs and took up a carrier in trading mentorship. This has brought hudge fortune to traders who understand their market analysis at large.

Would trading be called an occupation if this be the case. I ask because I see a whole lot of persons who see trading as gambling and even discourage prospective traders not to venture into such. Is trading really gambling or does it in any way have similarities with gambling. This part has to be clearified because it is really bringing heavy argument in our society.

Most religious bodies still kick against trading with the view that it is a form of gambling that has 60% certainty if traded with caution. But if the certainty is above average then why do we still regard it as gambling?

From: https://www.ig.com/en/cryptocurrency-trading/what-is-cryptocurrency-trading-how-does-it-work

We could define crypto currency trading as follows:
Cryptocurrency trading involves speculating on price movements via a CFD trading account, or buying and selling the underlying coins via an exchange.

What could we deduce from this. Could there be a contrary view. Because for me crypto trading can be classified as an occupation in at this point of the world's evolution especially in underdeveloped and developing nation's where unemployment is hitting the peak of the day. Crypto trading could be an alternate source of lively hood which could payoff most of the bills some highly paid jobs can not attempt to clear off. This post isn't meant to discourage you from your job. It's only an eye opener. Crypto trading can still serve as a side hustle to settle bills before the arrival of our large salaries.
well i would say that if you prefer trading over all other jobs in your life then obviously you will achieve much more as compare to doing office job, trading in my point of view is one of the finest jobs until and unless you are expert in it.
the other thing i should clear to you is that trading and gambling are the two different things as trading is to investment and gambling is to playing, and as far as i know trading is not prohibited in any religion.
15  Economy / Speculation / Re: I have a relatives who ask advise to invest, what should I do? on: April 02, 2021, 04:43:51 PM
I just want to share my experience, I have a relative who come to me and ask advise on what coins to invest now, I don't name a coin and I said he must do his research but he insist that I know, he want to invest immediately.

I know he is into FOMO because he seems so aggressive and like to get instant return.
He told me that since I'm a veteran, he would like to ask some advise on what coins will pump in the coming days so he can invest on it.

I knew he is so positive, and I can feel him since I also got FOMO'd before.

What do you think should I do guys? how can I help him?

Don't be responsible for your relative's portfolio, you'll get the blame if the coins you've chosen have not performed well in the market, instead teach him how to think like an investor in Cryptocurrency and let him come out with his own list, or if he really insists only refer to the top 5 coins in the market, these are all the coins worthy to invest.

yes i have seen a lot of people who blame others after losing their money in investment, you have given a good suggestion because after learning themselves they will come to know the condition of market price otherwise nobody knows about good and bad luck and it will lead to many problems.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Rich have too much on: April 02, 2021, 04:36:10 PM
most rich actually dont have too much money but what they have the most is debts and the real rich are often poor because they are free from debts . you demand a law that is crazy , what if they hold that money for emergency use in the future . even if you hate it , its still inapropriate to force someone to donate but they can just donate if they are willing  and poors shouldnt sit and depend to others but they must work hard to get out of that poverty .


yes it is right that poor people should not depend on others to get their basic necessity, their first priority should to earn money by themselves and do hard work. But there comes some condition, if the poor is unable to earn money because of some handicap or other reasons then it is the duty of rich people to help them financially.
And I think it is not a bad idea like giving specific % in money to the poor people (it is ok if the % is very very less), as we all know that ratio of poor people is much bigger that the rich one.
17  Economy / Speculation / Re: Are you guys happy if bitcoin will dropped to $10k? Why? on: March 27, 2021, 08:53:32 PM
I don't mind dropping the bitcoin price to 10k$, but temporarily, the decline in the bitcoin price will help people buy and store larger quantities of bitcoin, this will certainly help Bitcoin spread more around the world because the current price is high and many people cannot buy bitcoin.
In my opinion, the spread of Bitcoin around the world is much more important than the increase in its price to 10k$ or a million dollars.


I think the low price of bitcoin will not increase its value and publicity, as far as I know a lot of people came to know about bitcoin whenever the price reached to its peak, so whenever a thing get expensive its value increases and more people know about it.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: The pandemic did push the world towards a more digital age. on: March 27, 2021, 08:42:54 PM
To be sure, covid 19 is an important part of helping bitcoin and cryptocurrency get more attention.  hardly anyone deny that.  Inflation, unemployment, sentiment and stimulus packages to change the demand for low interest loans are the main factors driving inflation happening globally.  All combine and converge for bitcoin and cryptocurrency to create countless amazing new ATHs in history.


yes you are right if we think in a positive way we can realize that this pandemic has helped a lot of people to be involved in digital world, like a lot of people in past were unaware of digital markets and shops etc. Also they even did not know that a digit currency bitcoin exists.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fate or lack of control - Gambling on: March 17, 2021, 11:58:23 AM
Whenever we lose we always blame luck on it. I would say it is more on lack of self-control when we tend to spend more time gambling we always aim to win and we are eager to win more. Just observe, the longer you play the more you become greedy, we always start at the lowest bet we can to warm-up as time goes by our bet increases, we lose, then we chase for our losses. By the end of the day all your money is gone, it is not because of lack, it is because of poor bank-roll management and greed.

yeah it's a fact that we always put our losses in the category of bad luck, it's because nobody thinks that every loss has a cause and a reason and I think if everybody start thinking about their blunders, they would definitely be experts. As I observed many gamblers they have no self control and no limit that's why they always lose a big amount of money.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling as a profession: there's people who live out of gambling? on: January 12, 2021, 09:32:20 PM
Gambling is as old as human. I know a handful of people who use gambling as their source of major income and depend on it solely to discharge their financial needs. They are gifted with lucky hands and predict the best odds with the highest benefit.
Yeah, I think those people are the ones who play with the best odds. They are likely not relying on luck perhaps using a trick on it because there's no way you can win in gambling consecutively with just luck perhaps they're using math on it. Actually, I have read a bizarre post regarding this one, I think it was it was MIT students who used math to increase their probability of winning. Regarding to the question of OP, yeah technically there is but I'm just not quite sure of it though.

There are people who managed to live using this industry.

People who attained knowledge and right skills to have a much higher chance of winning against the house, though it's not always
but they are capable of controlling their emotions and have  agood bankroll managements, they are trained enough to avoid busting
their money and keep ontrack finding ways to keep gaining decent.

yeah if they are not addicted to the gambling then it is possible for them to live their whole life on gambling's income but afterall this whole thing depend on luck factor, I have seen a lot of people living their life on gambling as well as majority of skilled people are facing a big loss of money.
