Imagine that most of the holders or those that have received the dogs were all users of Telegram. The longer the telegram account is in existence, the more dogs. But we're all done with that part and most dogs now are in the exchanges.

Good for you that you've sold at a higher price compared to the price now. The price has dumped because of the market is dumping too. I think that the sentiment is still going to continue for a week or two for dogs. I might be wrong on this but whoever is waiting for another sequence of buying, you decide it today or within the upcoming days. It's price currently...

Update for The International(13) 2024.

They already have the matches for the group stages and two days from now, it's about to start and there's so many games to bet on for day 1 with these 4 groups.

---

I have picked two bets already but for draw, so these matches on group stages are a best of 2 match only. Most of the games in here are likely to get draw based on what I've seen in the past tournaments but who knows, this is TI and it could be different this time. I am still contemplating about the other matches that I should bet on but for now, this is my first dibs.

Yeah, there's one and that's 9class. It should be his first The International but because of the visa issue, he's got replaced by saksa who's also a former Tundra. For saksa, this is a blessing in disguise but of course this is bad for 9Class. Is it because 9class is a russian although he's got russian teammates but pure and ramzes have their international flights and tournaments already long time ago.



I am cheering for them because they're a consistent team and topson is a three-time TI champ hopeful.

Man, we've got a lot of launchpools and launchpads with several exchanges and I know that you're specific on this and probably you're one of them that you're working for. I like Binance and they have given me significant rewards for what I have staked there with my BNB and when I tried the other exchanges, they've got their own native tokens or the casual ones that they support.

In my experience, I really like when I was able to make some pennies there and while we're in the bull, everyone can enjoy it while it's there. Not all of the time these rewards are going to be decent whether it is with Binance or with the exchange that you're supporting. As long as you're making some good returns there or pennies to be honest, you're still at gain as long as you're above your losses already.

Yeah, someone who has accessed to someone's fund and they've seen the disadvantage of these elderly that they might be forgetful about their funds and resources has been taken advantaged by the teller. It's for sure that the bank have done a legal action together with the victims so that this teller will learn the lesson the baddest way and shouldn't take people's hard earned money easily.

The bank's policy into hiring recruitment for sure have also became stricter and they'll read and learn the background of their future employees if they have been involved with gambling or any related kind of activities so that they're not only protecting their company's reputation but also the welfare of their customers as well as their funds. Because it's about the customers that they're working with and the customer satisfaction is what gives them the kind of living not only for the company but also to its employees.

None other than trading. Or if you've got some other airdrops and you've earned well there, convert it into dogs so that's how you make the most of it if you're a believer that this coin will be moving a lot in the upcoming cycle.

Do you mean about staking it on an exchange that might give 1%-5% of APY? that's not worth of the risk to be honest. Most of the people that are holding little of dogs won't really get the most by doing that and they even don't hold their dogs there or any other coins if that's the option that they have on their minds.

I am not sure but they'll just probably put it on their wallet while looking for some other airdrops or the next dogs in their mind to participate. There's really no need to be thoughtful about such.

With most of my bets, I've got only a few of them that I haven't found any value. Like it was a random thought and just went straight away for those matches. I'm not the type of gambler that bets on something that I don't know but you know that we've got all of our crazy times, so when I did sometimes when that bet wins, that's giving more joy than the ones that I've found value and I know most of with those games.

I am limiting my bet and trying to bet on good odds and that's the type of gambler I am even though I know that the underdogs have lesser chances of winning but it's different with esports. Sometimes, the underdogs can really turn the table and they'd give some good wins and that's why for me it's worth to go extra mile of odds when it's with the underdogs. I don't bet on everything that I know, even if I want to, I stop myself and still limits for some bets each day.

That's okay man, we've got a lot of dota 2 gamers and bettors here and that's why everyone of them is updated in anyway.

That happens but very rare, I remember that with former Team Liquid roster with insania, they've picked a wrong hero that was in the meta of being a carry but they played it as a support role in a TI game, yes.

There's lesser support from the community I guess and gamers don't buy the compendium that they've made for this year. I think that the trend as well is going down for dota 2. Currently, the prize pool becomes $2.350M. I am waiting for the update of the group stages and will post that soon when it's available already.

Dude, you've said a real talk in the latter and everything you've said are true. It's different today that you have to win every game and not just to have fun anymore, let's say that it has become competitive but that competition for every individual has gained toxicity and it's hard to contain. When you're a regular working man and your love for this game was there before after work, you gotta sit back and relax as you play. But not today anymore.

Battlepass is no longer a thing or it might be different if this is what they have focused on prior to the TI 2024 but it's not. The teams are going to most tournaments now with good prize pools because they can no longer wait for how much the prize pool of TI because it's most expectedly that it's not going to be a lot anymore. Good thing that there's the Riyadh Masters that has a larger prize pool not just for Dota 2 but for other esports too. The kingdom of Saudi Arabia really is investing into esports and they'll be known for this.

Didn't we have a reset already during the covid19 pandemic and the war between Russia and Ukraine? And that's such a crazy order to see that land assets will be tokenized. That won't be land anymore if it's in the form of token and everyone is traditional with lands because you own the thing if you have the title of it but if you're going to own a token then it won't be preferred by the vast majority who likes to own a piece of land from any state that they can afford to. I doubt it will become a thing because I've seen projects like this before but it didn't really materialized as we have different point of view about it and it's not good at all.

Unless you're living in a communist country then you might be forced to own tokens and every asset you have will be taken away from you by the government.

Yes, it's the exchange listing as well. TGE means token genetion event. I am also guessing that a massive dump is about to come there. But it won't be surprising if some delay might possible happen again as it did before.

P2E is different from gambling so I don't think that there's any relation to that. But who knows soon if some connection will be done by the rulers, officials or senators for something to push like that.

This is so true, no can skip that taxation from whatever we're all earning from.

Why majority are losing in trading is because they are too greedy. You're right that many of them wants to get rich so quick in trading and they are testing strategies that doesn't go along with what suits them. And they think that trading is an easy financial game but their expectations are broken when they have face the real thing in the market. This is why do not expect that you'd always be good in everything that you're testing out. The good traders out there really make money but it doesn't mean that they have no mistakes that they commit.

What we can guarantee is that there is no 100% accuracy for trading. Losses are there even the best of the best gets some filthy moments and trades that are losing them. The mistake is by becoming too confident whenever someone is able to make a trade or two but this market relies on so many things and not just all about the charts. Sometimes it becomes connected to the world events, the actual market motion and more fundamentals. An ugly news can make someone happily trade with their positions and that's why from the mistakes that we commit, we should learn from it or better not trade at all when you can't go along with the tough market.

That is for sure.
We will have to wait for that and with the situation right now so before I invest back to dogs, I should consider looking at TON first. If it drops down to $1 prior to Durov's arrest then I might buy a bunch of it. But it seems that it's a wishful thinking and it's quite too low but we don't know how the market will react because of its volatility. I'm sure that many of us here are also trying to look for sometime to get into dogs as well.

With the acceptance of Bitcoin as their legal tender, no doubt why it is the top result when someone searches for a "bitcoin country". To be honest, when they didn't accepted it yet as a legal tender there are other countries that were considered one before. Like Malta, Japan, other Asian countries too. But because of this action that El Salvador did, they were the first in the history that has become an actual country that has adopted it.

Not to mention the other countries that became first crypto friendly countries. Central African Republic supposed to be the next one but they didn't continue it from happening. But soon, we will see some other countries that might also declare Bitcoin as their legal tender. It is only a matter of time but we should be happy that the number of countries that recognizes Bitcoin is increasing. Maybe sometime in the next months, there will be countries like UAE that will be more friendly to crypto because of the type of government and rules that they are setting.

This really is a long argument from those actual gamblers that are in there for the money. Regardless of what others are telling about the reason they gamble, they won't be stopped for whatever reason they are up to. So, someone who's gambling for money/profit cannot be stopped from doing it because I've been there before and thought that it's an easy way to make money from gambling. At first it was but in the long run, my perspective has changed and it's really all about having fun first and if there's profit, much better.

I am for fun, I've got a bunch of losses for this week from my bets and that's fine. There really are days that I am not as good as the past week that I am or the past month that I've got huge wins. But this time, I just enjoy my bets so that I won't be stressed if there are bets that I need to chase my losses. So be it, I gamble for whichever purpose that it is for me but mostly for fun and if I am up with profit, that's just a bonus. Sometimes we need to trick our brains and reason out to the best that we can not to stress out the negative results that we're having.

Lucky are those players and teams that have made a lot of money from the past TIs, their shares for each of them now has become the actual prize pool for the entire The International. They've got the luxury to retire or continue but now, even I guess a team that has won the TI will have no luxury to retire but to keep on competing and wishing to participate the bigger prize pool tournaments.

That is for sure, AFAIK there's now another game that Valve is testing so I guess they're pushing players to go there while it's on an invite-test phase.

Oh my, I've lost this bet. I should have followed my heart to bet on Avulus as the champ of this tournament with a good odds. The first 2 maps were won by 1win but then 3rd and 4th map was taken by Avulus up to fifth map, that was heck of a sweep from them, a reverse sweep indeed.

Reminder: 4 days to go and the TI2024 starts, the prize pool isn't interesting as it's quite low until now. So, this is expected that each year of TI, prize pool will become lesser as the game is getting older and there are lesser support from the community now.

Valve don't want to throw money from their savings but are getting the call from the players. I hope that this year's prize pool will give them a sign that somewhere else, a tournament is becoming better with the prize pool and making the game more competitive. They're the developers of this game and they need to make more attraction if they don't want to see next year Riyadh master to be the alternative of TI and become the most sought yearly tournament of everybody.

Hate to admit that it's closely there but we are seeing the signs and you know what? Gaben had banned teams to have sponsors on their banners, team names and even players name's. They are pushing away the money that's injecting these teams and players to remain competitive and stay with the game that we all like.

The real OGs are getting older and the items that they're releasing like the BP or compendium aren't really interesting at all. We don't also need more heroes, we've got a bunch of it but more competition that shall attract more players to get onto the game and become pros. But what they're doing is denying all of these sponsorships for this upcoming TI. And to give that reminder, we're just 4-5 days away from it.

When someone does this, they'll for sure ready to take on a verification because casinos are also smart if they're being used just as a way of their users to pass or mix their funds through them. That's why there are strict rules like wagers first before withdrawals.

I have seen some of them operated and made a thread in the forum but not all of them stayed for so long. I think that most of them have started as noKYC but then, it won't be surprising if some of them that have stayed will start asking for kyc soon.

Just a trend and they think that it will be popular and liked by the community.

Yes, I'm betting my esports bets and other kinds of bets on stake. I have no issues about it and maybe I am one of the many fortunate gamblers of not having any issues with withdrawals or my balances there. We have different experiences with the casinos that we're gambling with. We have to understand if the others have a genuine reason why they have those problems and complaints to the casino that they're gambling with. But we can also understand the frustration of a gambler of why they are making up issues and they have no one to blame with their losses for being unlucky.
