SR won the third game and it is the counterpart of BetBoom in their region that's likely going to win this season for DreamLeague 21, Team Spirit. They are just freakingly good and they play like this, I just hope that they won't choke in the TI and they will show the same performance just as this season for Dream League. Right now, 2-0 in favor of Team Spirit on this grand finals and just one more win away and they'll be winning a whopping $300,000 as the cash prize for the first/champion of this DL season 21.
Team Spirit still won DreamLeague Season 21 and received 300k in prize money. In the grand final it’s 3-0 on the maps, but if you take the final of the winners against SB, then it’s 2-1. If you look at the total, 5-1 in favor of Team Spirit on the cards, this is a stunning result. If they approach the TI in the same form, then the chances of winning will be great. After winning here, they are given odds of 5.3, but before that it was 7.8. I remember that I’m not a fan of betting on who will win the tournament, but it’s interesting from the point of view of setting odds and I'm keeping an eye on it.
Yes, they've won again and become champions for this Dream League. If we're going to count their games and standings during this playoffs, they only made 1 loss against SR and it's not during the finals but only on the upper bracket final. And then they've got the rematch on the grand finals against SR. I guess the curse is real with them on the SR side. Ever since they've been with EG before, they always end up either 3rd or 2nd place. That's hurting but still not bad as a finish but it's something different if they win their finals as SR.

There's no need for you to do these types of discussions when you're trying to advertise the same project or bot. Just stay on one topic/thread and don't have to make a new one for what you're introducing.
They are spamming this section with their shitcoin and their APY is unrealistic once a project offered a very huge APY you know that this is a Ponzi scheme, Ponzi schemes are like this they do shill marketing,
I just hope that the newbies that have seen them post will not go engage with such projects that offer high APYs. It should be realistic and sustainable but we can't stop those people who might chase these projects because of the thinking that whoever goes first, always gets the most out of it. But that's not the case because there could also be something wrong with them being the first and they don't have an idea as things could literally go south.

but they cannot fool people here, those who know how Ponzi schemes operate have exposed them, I hope people will not be blinded by their greed to invest in this kind of project.
Sadly, there could be a couple and a few people who might be a victim of these schemes. But as long as there are reminders and curious people that will take a look at what they're promoting, there will be many people that will be alerted by such schemes.

Well, stopping is out of the question for the most because addicted gamblers can't stop in an instant and that's why they're facing these consequences. If it's just easy as we say for someone to stop and quit, that would be easy for them as well and it won't make a ruckus and problems just as what we're discussing right now. That's why these problems including the relationships that these people are experiencing, this becomes their life lessons for them to avoid something like this to occur again. And while the others have seen this problem and trying to avoid it, they can make ammendments and adjustments for them not to have it.

Well it's going to be next to impossible for gamblers especially those with high levels of addiction out there, but I'm not saying it can't be done it's just that it's very unlikely if they can let go of all the temptations that come their way. But I think the difficulty or ease of quitting depends on the gamblers themselves, meaning their level of addiction, if they are just regular gamblers and not too ambitious then I think quitting will not be too difficult for them because they are still in a fairly safe zone with a mind that is still a little sober, but I say it's difficult only for those who are really addicted to the point that they can't miss a day of gambling, they continue to do it with hopes that are actually just nonsense.

Well that's right buddy, gamblers who are already addicted can hardly stop with just - just, they need a lot of help from some psychologists who can normalize their minds again, and of course the impact is not only for themselves but as we discussed according to the title above that the people closest to them will also definitely at least feel the negative impact. This is an example that should be used as a lesson by most gamblers, especially those who have just come, I hope they can see how bad the person is if they are too excessive in gambling, change your mindset.
There is no problem if you're just the casual type of gambler who wants to spend a couple of bucks enjoying some dice or playing poker at a table and then when you're out of money, you're out as well. That's not an issue for some gamblers that know what they do and the limit that they're setting for themselves. The real problem starts when you gamble, you're also putting your heart and emotion on it and just like in relationships, you're not noticing that the actual relationship that you have are heavily affected when you're already out of yourself.

I have a feeling that BB will turn the tide in their favor and win map 2 and then map 3 to procced to DreamLeague Season 21 finals against Spirit.

I also think that BB vs Spirit will be a show between them as we already saw what SR can do against Spirit ...and it was not great to watch the series with Spirit being so dominating in all 3 games.

It's the gambler's fault when he does it and then every relationship that he's got and responsibilities that he should sustain are also failing. With that, better to stop and not gamble anymore if things are not doing well for you. It's not just going to work together but at the same time that might break ties from the people that are involved and affected by how irresponsible you are as a gambler.
The point is that according to the facts that occur, gambling has indeed harmed many people, the impact is not only on their own finances but as we discuss this, namely to every relationship with the people closest to us such as maybe a girlfriend or closest friend and even family itself can really happen. The best way is if you can better stop, anyway this is pointless, the victory you always expect never comes, and even if it comes maybe only once out of a hundred tries, and of course if you count it more your losses than the victory. But basically it won't be that easy buddy, quitting gambling is very difficult, maybe some people will say it's easy, and I say the people who say that are those who have never gambled at all. I think some gamblers also really want to quit, but they find it difficult to do so because well their minds are almost completely distracted with wrong assumptions. To quit completely in one go may not be possible but to slowly reduce it is possible.
Well, stopping is out of the question for the most because addicted gamblers can't stop in an instant and that's why they're facing these consequences. If it's just easy as we say for someone to stop and quit, that would be easy for them as well and it won't make a ruckus and problems just as what we're discussing right now.

Yes, Gambling addiction has strained a lot of relationships through financial instabilities emotional turmoil, social isolation, and family problems. Gambling which was meant to be a popular kind of entertainment for many and was designed to provide a temporary escape from everyday life and also help one to be more observant mentally task your brain and it is also good for your mental brain. When it becomes an addiction it causes financial strain the strain can manifest in various ways including the loss of shared savings, debt accumulation, and financial secrecy which may lead to strained communication between partners. This communication breakdown can prevent couples, friends, and associates from working together.
It's the gambler's fault when he does it and then every relationship that he's got and responsibilities that he should sustain are also failing. With that, better to stop and not gamble anymore if things are not doing well for you. It's not just going to work together but at the same time that might break ties from the people that are involved and affected by how irresponsible you are as a gambler.

I have this friends though, when we gamble and let's say my friends partner is winning, and he keeps on getting that win and then he lose in roulette, then I will hear them arguing, lol. Because the girl will reason out that she is winning but my friend just keeps asking for those win and in return he has string of bad luck and so he can't return the money.  Grin
This is like just a cute way of interaction with each other when both of them gamble. I don't see something on it but just how cute this relationship is and better to remain like that than arguing with serious matters because of how incompetent the other one in terms of handling the situation.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have read all the posts above and understand if I can't use that PC for mining cryptocurrency because operational costs are higher than profits. Maybe I will think of selling it for BTC, or maybe I will open a rental VR Box on my country malls because it is quite promising. For 15 minutes rent I will get paid about $2 and do DCA. I've checked, for visualization on a PC requires high specifications, and it's enough suitable on my PC. I just need VR box equipment to begin.
This is much better than of using that for mining because you'll barely get something from doing that. You can just go back to this plan of yours of mining again when you've got a decent amount from the profit that you'll make from this rental VR business that you'll start.
If someday you still want to explore and know what to mine with the current setup that you have or you will have in the nearest future, just check what you can potentially mine: https://whattomine.com/
1149  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do crypto gateways compare to traditional methods in security & efficiency? on: September 22, 2023, 09:58:55 PM
As for the other cryptos, we've seen reports and news that many of them have been 51% attacked and hacked. And to be fair for the traditional payment systems, they also have their own bad days but I think if we're going to compare them. It is that the traditional ones are more trusted by many because there will be an accountable company if ever something messed up.
Smart contract projects have many hacks and people use those platforms lost a lot of money in those hacks and investment in those scam tokens.

Proof of Work altcoins are less secure than Bitcoin because their networks have very lower hash rate that cause their networks are more vulnerable to 51% attacks.

If you wonder how more vulnerable to 51% attacks of Proof of Work altcoins, you can get some estimations from How many confirmations are equivalent* to 6 Bitcoin confirmations?

If I make an on-chain transaction, I choose Bitcoin blockchain to do this.
Yeah, those reports are like unstoppable news that keeps on coming and we're hearing from hundreds of thousands for the smaller ones up to millions from unheard type of projects that does have their own smart contracts. If we're going to look at those projects that are declaring they're more secure and better than Bitcoin, eventually you'll see that nothing beats Bitcoin for the better and higher security of its network. Thanks to it being a PoW and not a PoS which some altcoins think that being a PoS is better in terms of security but it's just all about being profitability.

Team Liquid and GG being out, not sure if it's part of the plan or they were just really not that strong for the past tournaments as they need to have a long rest prior to their preparation of TI 2023.

I'm surprised too how poor Team Liquid and GG performance on this tournament. It looks like that they are not giving 100% of their game and hiding strategy on their sleeves that can be use on TI. But I doubt that they intentionally lose since Dreamleague prize pool is still decent while they can use this opportunity to train and experiment before the major event.
Yeah, they just wanna be out early on this DL since there's a priority that they need to keep their eyes on. The prize pool is still decent in this tournament but maybe they just don't wanna put out their strategies that are being hidden and reserved for the TI.

I believe many gambler lose bets on these 2 team since many expect them to play better due to their past tournament result.
Definitely.
They're a crowd favorite and they're known to be the best two teams always that end up in the finals. But this is an upset for those bettors that have believed on them and they just have to move on because this is normal in Dota 2 tournaments.

Gaiming gladiators  vs entity game was  very very entertaining especially map 3

Entity were huge underdogs with 2 standins and nobody expected  they would win  a map let alone win the series like this

They dominated all 3 maps almost and the map 3 pudge pick was very surprising, i was tracking live odds and they  were 4x in the first few mins only of map 3
Malrine and ATF are good stand-ins and they're not just playing to play but also to help the team to get to some better ranks as they continue in the lower bracket.
Anyway, we will see if Entity will survive the lower bracket against BetBoom or it will be their last match.
Team Liquid and GG being out, not sure if it's part of the plan or they were just really not that strong for the past tournaments as they need to have a long rest prior to their preparation of TI 2023.
1152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 21, 2023, 12:25:32 PM
Want to get rid of gambling as demand is at a point where it is difficult to refrain from. In addition to these the way to prevent gambling addiction will depend on the person's own wishes. If there is any other emotional stress problem or big event beyond the gambling, it should also be well analyzed.
Someone's situation that deals with other problems will trigger his own desire to put that pressure on something else like gambling. That's why prevention is hard to do when you're also dealing with other things. And having that will to stop starts from you, you just can't say that in words but you need to prove that to yourself and show it that you're doing the right actions for your own ways of stopping it.

Whenever you want to gambling online, you will work away from the phone. You can go somewhere for a few days or go to relatives' house the last thing is to stay away from the phone so that the gambling will return to normal.
Not just from phones but also from other devices, desktop/laptop, or any device where you'll be able to gain access to any online casino. Just do other things so your attention will be divided and that will be one way for you to at least do something to stop.
1153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do crypto gateways compare to traditional methods in security & efficiency? on: September 21, 2023, 10:05:40 AM
In your opinion, we'd like to hear your thoughts on how crypto payment gateways stack up against traditional payment methods in terms of security and efficiency.
If we're going to be in detail about the payment gateway as is for Bitcoin. We can fairly say that it is highly secured because transactions that do happen on it are hard to reverse and its confirmation will be done and made through the miners.

Do you believe cryptocurrencies offer a more secure and efficient way of conducting transactions, or do you think traditional methods still have the upper hand? Share your insights and experiences to help us gain a broader perspective on this evolving landscape.
As for the other cryptos, we've seen reports and news that many of them have been 51% attacked and hacked.

Draymond Green had this to say on Twitter (x) about a report that Dwight Howard has been given the all clear to join the Warriors by the vets and will be working out with Dray and CP3 tomorrow.

https://x.com/money23green/status/1704666006696960078

That sure does make it seem like Dwight Howard is going to get another shot in the NBA with the Warriors. That could cause problems for the rest of the league.
An addition to that, Dwight was able to have close contact calls with the higher executives including their coach, Steve Kerr. So yes, this is the early signs that we're going to see Dwight coming back in action in the NBA. He may not be in his prime but sure he's got the love and passion for the sport and also he's got still a lot of fans. So the Warriors isn't just going to get him as him alone but also the crowd and fans that he's got in the entire world as he's got more when he played in Taiwan. Maybe it's just a matter of time until there's the official announcement of the Warriors for their welcoming to him.
1155  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is Marriage a contract or a union? on: September 21, 2023, 07:32:49 AM
The rate at which we hear of divorce cases this days around the world is heart breaking. Particularly in the western world. What could be the main reason for this menace in our society. It's a menace because  when children are involved, they will be the one to suffer divided attention even though the law forces the parents to pay for their support.
There's no more respect in unions and marriages these days. The justification that they're having is that there is this law of divorce or annulment wherein they can simply restart and find another partner. Yes, even those couples that have kids, they don't mind separating since they can just co-parent to their children.

The question will then be: is financial  support all that it is to raising children?
Sadly yes. But the emotional impact on the kids is high when they see their friends have their complete family and they don't have one. This is what they don't understand. But it's much better than to live together and suffer with each other's disagreement.

If these divorces  are base on the way its viewed as a contract then it must have an end surely  because no contract last for a life time. However,  if marriage is look upon as union based on religious belief, then there a bidding involve. Ironic bonding transform the individuals to one flesh. So, if any party think of divorce, they will as well reflect on the impact it would have on themselves. Can you separate yourself?
Separation needs to be agreed upon and there are laws that can declare that these separations are needed to be done for the sake of both parties. That's why before getting married, everyone should be prepared financially, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

Why is it that it gives me the negative connotation when a woman goes to the casino just to "socialize"? I think that this is too much watching drama for me and I think that whatever happens there after socializing with other people remains there. I can't say that if somebody understands that because I've also watched too many videos from women of Vegas that they're coming back and forth there not just for the actual gambling but for something else. And if you still can't get that, it's more of socializing with people but looking for more intimate interaction from the other gambling guys there.

They should have done that a long time ago. Because of how cheap living there is, putting a tax on the income of the foreigners there who have been traveling and working at the same time should benefit their government. Next would be a digital nomad visa or something like just Portugal. But I think that since Thailand isn't strict with tourists and they don't have visas for most countries(cmiiw). This is even better and could get them more tourist as it's a signal that if you stay there for long and you're working and getting paid offshore, could make more laws and give incentives to them since they're bringing more money to their economy.
1158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: September 20, 2023, 04:49:20 PM
I agree, as parents, we need to show that we're a good example to them. Whatever they see, they will copy. Always remember that they're like that and they're looking for a role model that they're going to copy as they grow older. It's hard to see that one of your kids becomes an addicted gambler when they grow old. I dunno if someone will be able to take that and will have to blame himself for not telling them that there's a better way of living aside from gambling. We're old, we know the sides of life and things and we don't want our kids to have that kind of life. We all want the best for them in life and we're just aware of the possible setbacks if they become one in the future. Whether we like it or not, we don't know what's ahead in the future or what they'll be since they'll still be able to know what gambling is and might try that in secret. But just be the best parent for them and teach them the right thing to do and don't gamble, so don't gamble when they're around too.
1159  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Did anyone notice this pattern? on: September 20, 2023, 03:41:32 PM
That pattern ain't a secret anymore. That's why we've got the so-called '4-year cycle' and from that cycle, that's how the market turns into a bull run after coming from a terrible bear market. But if there's another halving and bull run that's to be expected, 2021 was different from the past bull runs and that's why we might also see another different bull run approximately on 2025.

What do you guys think, Is the law of average work here or I am just speculating it?
We're all speculating and you know what's the beauty of this market? Every law or theory that we believe that's gonna work to Bitcoin can be applied depending on the situation.

Anyway, speaking of promos, they don't run out of it and someone who just wants to be part of it could just simply visit not just their Twitter account but also the promo page on their website.
