741  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: September 07, 2023, 08:59:38 PM
There are varied crypto games we tend to be fond of that does rely on bullrun to maintain playbase. Another words they perform fine in bull market.

What are your views or perceptions about such games.
I don't think so that crypto games or crypto gambling rely in bull run or bear run but their performance will depend on how good their service was. My perception about them is that they are fun and they are a great addition in the crypto world, making crypto more in demand but we only need to be careful on them, as they are addictive.

Our goal must only be to play for fun and not to lose a lot of money or destroy our lives. If we want to make money, crypto investing and crypto trading can mainly provide it better because skills and knowledge can matter here. It wasn't controlled by a single entity only like gambling where they can manipulate the results easily.
Yes, its a business venture that could run whatever the market condition it would be.On owners perspective or pov then profitability might really be that affecting them specially on the coins that they are stashing but it would really be basing up on fiat value but if they would be tending to hold then it wont really be such an issue or a huge problem.They are running a business and it would really be just that right that they would really be affected with those ups and downs in the market but it doesnt really come into a point that they would be halting up their operation which we know that as long there would be gamblers who would really be making use of their platform then they would really be definitely be able to earn more than in crypto value since the market had declined on a bear market and on the time that the market will really be making some change trend then it would really be adding up some nasty increase of their capital or revenue when that happens. The only key on here is that as long they do have players or someone who do play into their platform then that what surely counts.

I have bitcoin, some alts & a couple of real estate properties. I am not interested in diversifying into anything else. The majority of my net worth is in bitcoin & I intend to keep it that way. The current price will look like chumps change in a couple of years.

And some alts. I think that investing in some alts is a good idea. It doesn't have to be a big investment, depending on someone's possibilities, but setting aside 5% (more or less) for some interesting projects can pay off in the long run. And there are some good projects around that have a nice potential. In every bull run some new alt makes incredible progress.
Indeed, I do not recommend anyone to invest in altcoins as they are riskier than bitcoin, but it would not be so bad if we just invest a small part of our capital in them. Although altcoins have great risks, if we choose the right coin, it is clear that its profits will be very significant compared to bitcoin. Many people only focus on bitcoin and think that all altcoins are useless, which is really a waste because they are missing out on bigger opportunities.

We invest in cryptocurrencies to make profits, so we should not be too stubborn and ignore opportunities outside of bitcoin. As long as we invest a small amount, it will not cause too much damage to us.

There's nothing wrong to invest at altcoin it would really depends on the coin you would invest with, cause for me I've invested in altcoin before but only for a quick-flip it's not much but I've still profit. But still it's not advisable for a long term investment due to its volatility is random like it really depends on the project some would literally rugpull it. Well I agree that maybe your spare capital or money maybe you could try small amount first for your own experience to altcoins if it suits for you so you can compare it to Bitcoin, what I mean is that you can make your own strategy with these coins. Still if you want to secure just stick with BTC.

Honestly, I don't see anything wrong with altcoins but it's confusing how many people consider them to be trash. If we need security, an asset, a currency of the future, then bitcoin is the choice. But if we are here for profit, then altcoins are an opportunity worth trying, just like those who took the risk of investing in bitcoin when the price was below 1 USD. We want great success, we need to step out of our comfort zone.

Long-term investment with altcoins, I think ETH will also be a good choice, the rest should only be used for speculation, do not put your trust in any altcoin projects, there is no technology associated with them, they are just empty promises. Bitcoin should still be the bulk of our portfolio because its safety and returns aren't too bad.
They are really that pertaining into those coins which are shit and just simply those pumps and dumps and this is why they do really make out some generalization on how shitty those altcoins are without even trying out

to make some exemption of course into those top rankings which we could really definitely say that it would really be that still a good option on dealing with other alternatives on which it could potentially bring out profits on the time that you do make out some good decisions and choosing on which one. Diversification when it comes to investment and business would really be always that recommendable. This doesnt only limit out on Bitcoin and some altcoins in the market but also in other traditional investments which we do know. As long you do have the money and the funds that could be used then go ahead and diversify.

The only main thing what people been lacking is the money that they could really make use as a capital because we do have that basic ideas on where things should be put in and where to work on.
It is really just that people doesnt have that sufficient money or  funds for them to begin with. You cant really just make yourseld dive into those things without money or capital of course.
743  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: September 07, 2023, 07:42:57 PM
Most of the gambling companies I have come across do state the age of users that are qualify to play gambling, but this is something that   is not very strict that under age can stay away from it, even with the restrictions of age people who are not up to the age of gambling still go ahead of playing gambling because the age thing does not really matter that gambling companies follow up, that's why young people have opportunity of playing gambling without any restrictions.
All gambling sites have age restrictions on their websites, but underage people will still go ahead and gamble on those sites. As it is clearly stated, even if gambling sites make KYC mandatory, some underage people will still find a way to gamble, so I think it will be kind of difficult for gambling sites to stop underage people from gambling. But we can see some physical casinos that still allow underage gamblers, which is very wrong. If anybody visits the gambling site and they notice the person might be underage,  they should request a means of identification to confirm the person’s identity. If the person is truly underage, then the person shouldn’t be allowed to gamble.
Yes because some of gambling site still not implement KYC or they implemented it but then they will still gamble because the KYC will only for people who earns a lot and withdraw a lot too. If they are not too active and not going to withdraw so much money then it is not a problem at all . All website has a age bracket especially if it is needed some decision making and also based on govt regulations.
If nothing suspicious is found by a gambler then KYC is not very important if there is no restriction. But if any casino is restricted by government rule then KYC must be done. In recent times almost all casinos are advised to do KYC. There are some casinos and gambling platforms where KYC is mandatory but gambling can be conducted without KYC. This is because they don't consider it essential for those users. But if suddenly large amount transactions are done and if they find it suspicious then all matters related to KYC must be thoroughly monitored.
There's always that kind of threshold since these platforms are really that centralized and been regulated on which means that money laundering would be always the concern and on the time that there's someone who

do make out some huge deposits then this is the time that they would really be asking out for some verifications which its not really that something new anymore. This isnt limited on gambling sites but also in exchange platforms too where KYC level 2 would be asked out if ever you are making or transacting huge amounts already. Speaking about age to gamble then we would really be always sticking into those age where considered legal or someone to be mature enough which is playing around 18-21 years old depending on a certain country but it would definitely be playing up within these numbers.

Now that we are really that on a high tech era where accessibility was so easy then it would really be just that hard to completely be able to filter out those youngster for them to play.
We would really be to say that those kids could potentially be able to play without being caught or filtered out.
744  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When Trading becomes Unfavourable on: September 06, 2023, 09:22:18 PM
There are few factors that leads to unfavourable trading, these factors includes Greed, and chasing a trend, Traders are expected to encounter Challenges during trading and relating these challenges with people's experiences can be the key in solving the challenge, 
Sticking to the trading plan is also good to avoid unfavourable trade as changing plans in the middle of a trade Can really lead to a loss in trade.
Changing trading plans is not always detrimental, this depends on the market, if you do have to change plans, there is nothing wrong as long as we can minimize losses. Only you know all trading plans because everyone's plans are different.

However, if you have written down your trading plan, and market conditions are still supportive, stick to the plan. Yes, of course you have to avoid responses that involve emotions from you such as fear or greed. Everyone who wants to trade must be able to train themselves to apply discipline and consistency when executing and exiting trades.
There should be a set of back up plans and its true that there are really moments on which it cant really be avoided that you would be needing to adjust your trading analysis due to sudden market sentiment change.

We know that there are news that do suddenly pops out and we know that fundamentals and news could really be making out that significant impact when it  comes to its price movement. Losing trades is inevitable or something that would be casual.Therefore, you would be needing to adjust accordingly and would really be able to have those back up plans. Emotion would really be your main problem because if you do lack
experience the emotion will really be the ones would be stirring your initial plans. Market is really hard to predict and this what causes for our trading analysis to be fucked up.

The best thing to be done is to move on and secure or find another entry for you to take. Dont be impulsive and treating this to be like gambling on which you would really be chasing up losses.
You should really be that knowing go with the flow and adjust accordingly.
745  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Constant wins in the casino for several days, then constant losses. Noticed?! on: September 06, 2023, 08:28:38 PM
Playing for many years, I observe a certain series of wins and losses. It looks like it every time! Also in casino chats, a lot of people talk about it.

Most of the time the casino takes the money. But when the winning session comes, on this day many slots give you a solid win, it is impossible to lose. This successful session can last several days.
As soon as this ends, absolutely all slots begin to take money.

How do you win and lose?

There are all sorts of complex algorithms and advanced psychological tricks that casinos have honed over the years. They will run complex experiments with the aim of getting players to deposit more money and play for longer so they become more addicted. The behavior of gambling is very repetitive, but they also want to lure you towards in-game bonuses, which can seem attainable and they are - but only once the right thresholds have been reached for your account, to feed you back a little amount of winnings. There is also natural variance which will take place like most things in life - you might be able to string together 3 green lights on the way to work for 3 days in a row, there is nothing divine happening, it's just a random lucky string of separate events.

I think the house edge itself is telling us that we are not going to win against this casinos. However, if let's say you have constantly winner, regardless of the amount, then you might think that you have found something to beat the system.

But that is not the case, it has something to do with luck. So maybe you win like for several days. But with randomness, sooner or later you are going to have a string of bad luck. And all the money that you win, you will just donate it back to the casino and then the chase started and you lose more money and most likely be fall in the addiction because you want to experience that same winning streak again which might not happen.
There's no way on beating the house and this is something that you should really be bare up in mind because there's no way that you would really be able to beat up the house no matter what. you might be looking that

having a good round or session on the time you do play gambling on which it results into certain win but you should realize that it is really just that because you are really that lucky on that particular time.
Its always that good on having that kind of realistic approach when it comes to gambling because there's no way that you could really be able to know on whats ahead and able to know on when to stop
and when to call it a day. Constant wins? Its impossible or something that would be doubtful to happen because thats not how gambling works but if you are that extremely lucky
then you should really know on when to stop.

Secure out profits when you are in greens and call it a day because not all the time you would really be this way because gambling could really easily fucked you up and give out that kind of
negative situation or outcome in the end of the line if you arent that mindful on stopping midway.
746  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin achievement on: September 06, 2023, 07:34:53 PM
then my initial life was not positive, I don't know what to do with my life. one day my friend encourage me to invest on Bitcoin despite my Reservation about Bitcoin, I eventually became persuaded. then I purchase a Bitcoin in 2017 and invested it. from there I became engaged with a forum and began contributing over time, since then I become an established Bitcoin investor.

   Guess what, ever since my friend introduced me to Bitcoin and I invested on it, things have never remain the same with me. investing in Bitcoin have given me what I could imagine to achieve in short period of time.
(1) I live alone in the house. but now, I have wife and children.
(2) I was living in a rented apartment. but now, I live in my own house.
(3)  I was tricking to places. but now, Bitcoin have giving me a car.
(4) before I don't have any source of income. but now, Bitcoin is my source of income.

friends, in short period of time, BTC have given me what I needed to have as a man. what is, your own achievement's with Bitcoin.
This is totally limited into those people who had been able to accumulate Bitcoin into those early years specially into those who had invested tons or lots when its still cheap. This isnt only applicable on Bitcoin alone but also

in other coins that we do have in the market on which it could really give out that kind of achievement but of course it would really be entirely be depending on how much you had risks on a certain coin/token
on the time that it was just starting on which not anyone could be able to hit that spot specially when a certain solid project or does have potential is just starting up. It would really be giving out that
life changing opportunity if you are really that doing your best on making investment but of course it should really be done with care and proper research.

You cant really just throw out your cash and invest on everything because we know that not all the time that investments ends up positive. Speaking about Bitcoin achievement then i did
really be able to fully bought a car in mortgage until i have finished it for 5 years using up my income here on crypto space which i could say that it is really that an achievement.
747  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling by financial dependents. on: September 06, 2023, 06:21:55 PM
I agree. Even he's already in legal age to gamble, the point is, he's still depending on his parents financially and the money given is meant for his studies and not for leisure.

Thus, it's normal for parents to be worried if they became aware that their son is into gambling. Therefore, an advice of looking for a side job is better rather than relying on his mother's given allowance. This way, the son can have a budget if he wants to entertain himself through gambling.

When I reached the age of majority, I could provide for myself, in which case you begin to look at money with a completely different responsibility. Of course, I tried different strategies in gambling at this time, because I was looking for a way to get rich quick, but I did it with extreme caution and worried even about losing small amounts on a loss. So it is possible that when a teenager starts earning money on his own, then his responsibility in gambling will be higher.

Yes, when you reach adulthood, you will have the opportunity to look for and get a job and like you said, you will be able to support yourself, albeit not fully, but at least you won't be so dependent on your mother. You say that you're looking for ways to get rich from gambling? I honestly don't believe in this at all, the principle is that gambling was invented just for fun friends and nothing more than that, so don't go too far looking for winnings there, especially if your goal is to get rich quick. Okay, I understand that you'll be using your own money here and won't be using your parents' dependent money, but still we should have a healthier view of gambling.

Lastly, I honestly don't think there's any strategy that can increase the odds of winning, that's just nonsense, and if that were true it would mean a lot of people getting rich but the fact is you probably also know that the rich get poor and the poor get poorer, that's gambling. So the bottom line is don't expect anything from gambling except fun, because it's purely about luck.
While gambling is mostly luck, I think games like Poker and Blackjack require talent and strategy. I've discovered that odds, game theory, and behavioral psychology can help, but not much. Even with ability and strategy, the odds are usually against one. I agree: bet just what you can afford to lose and see gambling as entertainment, not a source of money. I admire your care about gambling health.
A must thing to be done specially if you are really that dealing with gambling, it isnt really just that something that could bring out sure profits or winning but rather mind off about on the entertainment and enjoyment

that it gives on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be winning but majority of the time you would be losing up money specially if you are really that dealing against with the house.
Its true that once you do make yourself that get involved with poker or blackjack which it does really needing up that skills and experience the it is really that something a part of gambling which you would really be making use of your experience for your upperhand but since everything could really be still that random specially on pulling those cards then luck would really be still a huge or main factor.

Basing up on the condition or situation based up on op then it would really be just that simple on which as a parent and seeing his son/children does have that kind of gambling addiction and tends to deny
on being that addicted one but spending that much then it would really be that just right to lessen up his allowance and speaks about the main reason which it might help for him to
realize on the wrong thing that hes been doing.
748  Economy / Economics / Re: To afford personal education or a property? Where to allocate funds? on: September 06, 2023, 05:16:21 PM
Let's suppose you have a limited budget which can be used only for one of the alternatives below:

What is the best investment, in your opinion? To use this money to pay for your education, so you can conclude a superior course and achieve a higher degree, having access to a wide jobs' market, or to use that money to acquire an apartment, house or piece of land, so you can make a passive income from this?

It brings the following question up: what is more valued in life: to be or to have? Does it make someone fulfilled to have while not being or being without having anything?

I chose to invest in property rather than personal education, the reason is simple, that's because property can be mortgaged to the bank if needed, Apart from that, there is a big possibility that the value will continue to increase in the next few years, but it's different from personal education. however, I'm sure some people have different thoughts about the above options and educational background is a major factor.
When you do have an educational background then you would really be having the advantage on which you could really be able to apply for a better job but its true that it wont really be that might enough on bringing you

into a state on which you could really be able to buy with your property on which this is usually that brings you on becoming on having that 8-5 job kind of cycle and only a few could really be able to get out with that shackle on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be having that kind of mindset on getting out and wont really be ending up on this kind of cycle forever. Not all does have that degree would really be successful in life but i agree on what you have said that there would really be people who do really see out that great importance on having a diploma or degree in someones life which its partly true but in the sense that
this is the talks about on survival then you would really be choosing up on having a property on which it isnt something that anyone could easily obtain.

You would really be thinking about education to be your second priority and this one would be the first because we know that once you do have a property then you could really be able to make out that an investment or
assets on which it could bring out that income which could really be passive and this is something that much preferred.
749  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: September 05, 2023, 09:12:38 PM
Some of the things you mentioned like waking up very early without food in your stomach or gambling late at night, I didn't go as far as that. But there was a time I used to gamble a lot on sport betting, I would spend hours picking and analysing my games only for it to be ruined by one games just few hours after kickoff. This kept on and on and my losses were piling up, it got to a point that I decided to take a break to clear my head and it worked. Whenever I'm doing something and I realize that it's taking much of my time and not giving me the right results, I would just abandon it and maybe come back some other time.

I can't stand skipping breakfast and depriving myself from going to sleep when my body is already looking for the bed. I feel like there's some sort of addiction in this kind of situation, as he is trying to harm himself, disregarding what's essential to feed ones desire. Well, I hope it does not get worse.
I know losing is very frustrating, but there's only one thing I know that's been very effective for many people, just like you I tend to take a break and have a breather, eat delicious food and drink a little, sleep early and bounce back in the morning. Chasing losses no matter how huge or how big it is, doesn't end up well.
Getting annoyed or having that great disappointment would really be leading to this but it is really that actually on a type of person because there are ones who could really be able to do such thing about skipping food and

sleep but not for all because even myself considered out on having those kind of moments where you do really have that huge disappointment on your gambling activity or even on those simple trading with markets but never ever that goes into my mind on skipping out my meal or having no sleep because i do have in mind that health is wealth and if you do lose up money and do such foolish things like putting up your health on danger then it wont really be that worth on doing so. You are really just making things even more worst aside on losing money.,We do know that being healthy should really be your main priority and never ever make yourself
that goes into that certain extent or simply stop it out.

Losing is inevitable on gambling and this is why its always been important on making use of the funds on which you can really afford to lose because on the time that you've come up with this
management then you wont really be finding yourself to be that impulsive.
750  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: screening coins on: September 05, 2023, 08:42:35 PM
Can use coingecko, coinmarketcap and similar websites that show % of movement up and down then you go to the chart and see nothing happening, 80% of the time are just some shitty consolidations so you have to wait an hour or so for trend to develop.
-snip-
The sites you mentioned can absolutely not be relied on regardind the data you talked about and I would never make my trades on data from Coingecko or Coinmarketcap.

Why?
The data on such sites are usually calculated, so they are not correct for the individual exchanges where you want to execute the trade. In addition, the data is not updated within seconds, but sometimes actually lags behind for several hours. Thus, these data are completely useless as indicators.



I usually use directly the data of the exchange on which I want to trade. It is also very easy to use bots to give personal signals such as ("Volume on BTC is increasing by leaps and bounds") and then react immediately, the exchanges also offer interfaces to be able to access this data yourself. The data is usually also very reliable and quite suitable as a trading signal.
Or simply it was the average of those all exchangers who had been trading up a particular coin ex. Bitcoin. Then its true that it isnt really just basing up on a single exchange on which those movements would really be that

calculated and this is why % movement whether up or down would really be not precise. It would be better on sticking on the platform you are trading or tend to trade or make use of rather than on making yourself trying out to reference with those common marketcap sites which shows that in overall average and not on a single point. So its never been recommendable for you to make use if you are really that trying to snip out
with those small percentage movements. Better be specific and would really be directly touching up the platform on which you do tend to use.

CMC and CG are really just that good on peaking about price movements but in speaking about making it as a signal or indication then it wont really be able to fit out on the criteria.
751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Learning from those who have experience on: September 05, 2023, 07:24:00 PM
I want to ask those of you who have a hard addiction experience in gambling and then you can treat it yourself, and today still playing gambling but with the principle of good management and financial management in gambling.
I want to know how you break away from the addiction, you can mention the actions taken or what kind of steps? And how long do you need time to break away from the addiction that has been experienced?

"I want to find out because I think your experience in the case as I mentioned will be useful for readers, especially for me personally"
Playing gambling wont really be that bad but it would really be entirely be depending on how things should really be moderated because on the time that you are really that spending on the money which arent supposed to be

spent then this is an indicative sign that you are already that addicted to gambling which is really that bad. This is the main thing that you should really be avoiding on the time that you do gamble is on which you shouldn't really be that letting yourself that addicted. Play on the amount which you can afford to lose and never ever consider on chasing up your losses or making gambling as your source of income because having these kind of motives or intents would really be a catalyst for you to play even more until you do run down flat on which it is really that very a common scenario.

I myself, cant be considered going into a point on being an addicted gambler but cant really deny that there are really moments which i do chase out my losses and bust up everything in the end.
On that time then i do make out myself some self realizations and telling to myself that i shouldn't really do that in next time because it would really be bringing out that devastation on your bankroll.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 04, 2023, 07:25:03 PM
I personally do not like when someone is too focused in their gambling or betting session to even pay attention to me or what I am saying. It is something I have noticed when someone in my family has placed a bet for a determined football or basketball match and they spend the afternoon watching the match; my cousins can get some focus on it that they would not listen if I ask them to do something.

I am not sure how common is that, but I guess it is rather normal, specially if we talk about gambler who are most accustomed to spend hours rolling dices and spinning slots. I very dislike when it happens.  Roll Eyes

It’s really annoying if you are the one who needs talk with them but you can’t blame them because you will surely do the same if you place money on a sports that you are watching. It’s like a feeling that the game will be lose if you didn’t watch it until the end. That’s the excitement part of sports betting.

I’m always being yelled by my wife for being too focused on the game and sometimes I’m also being agitated when someone keeps talking to me while I'm watching the game especially when I bet a significant amount of money.

Ah, yes I can totally understand that is the exciting part of sportbetting, to watch the match knowing that any bad movement or blunt for any team could make all the difference for one to pocket much money.  Wink

I have not betting much on football matches, but when I do I take my time to be sure I have enough time to watch all of it from beginning to end and with friends (because most of times everything is better with friends), but I have not put enough money at stake for me to get completely hypnotized by the screen and make people to have to scream at me in order to get my attention. Since I know how annoying it can be.



Another thing I do not like about some gamblers, specially in real life, is when they brag about winning sums which are obviously minuscule in comparison to the losses they themselves admit. To me it does not make sense.
You would really be definitely be able to expect that most gamblers would really be having that kind of bragging when it comes into their winnings without even trying to look at on their losses or how much it is in total

comparing into the amount that he had temporarily won. Why temporary? because it would really be just be spend out back on the house itself or using it again on gambling which it is really the most common concept
or things that do happen on each gambler. Behavior something like this is really that very common. If you arent really that having good self control then most likely you would really be ending up with the same.
Dont make yourself go with those behavior which finding yourself that too impulsive when it comes into your gambling decisions. Greediness and lose of self control would be the most common emotions
that you would be able to feel out along the way.

You would really be finding yourself on great trouble if you do really have that kind of plan or  not really that good when it comes to financial handling. Gamble on your free time and with your free money or funds
then you wont really be able to experience problems afterwards.

3. Read books on financial market and its products

This may seem like good advice at first glance, but in fact I find it useless. The fact is that now the information is updated very quickly, new concepts in cryptocurrencies are added every month, and some abbreviations are replaced by others. And only the one who is fulltime looking for information in the world of cryptocurrencies is in the course of all changes. And books are static and the information in them quickly gets stuck. It is better to read the Internet.

Reading books remains an important thing with the aim of increasing our understanding and thinking. and this is a very useful thing. However, it is not enough for us just to read books, but we also implement what we have read and about what we learn after reading as a form of actualization and as a form of knowing that we understand what we read.

And it's true what you say. However, that does not mean that reading books is useless and does not have any effect on us. And all the good things we do will definitely benefit ourselves.
It's just that currently, with the development and progress of the current era, it is not enough for us to just read books, but we also have to be able to absorb existing information and this can be done via the internet, so that we are able to answer existing problems.

Reading a book is really important for starters, as it gives the readers basic information or background about certain topics like about the financial management. Not only that there's a steps and tips to follow but once the reader absorb it, it could change one person's perspective and mindset by just having a knowledge. As times goes by really fast, there's a lot of new things and trends that are not implemented on the book which some of the advises are not applicable to the current time. Now we're in the era of technology where internet exist, you could just surf the web and you could also read some books online for free plus there's a lot of sources that you could rely on so you could have 2nd opinion on information you were looking for.
Doesnt really need to be a book which it could really be even just as simple as those informations that you could really be able to read around or on internet on which it would really be giving out that kind of idea

on how you should really be doing things but in overall which making use of your own common sense should really be enough.Spending up money which is really that more that on what you do earn?
You are just basically making yourself that putting up in danger in terms of financial because there's no sense on doing such thing if you do earn less but spend more. Capital is something that would
came from your own savings which would really be intended for investment and if its just less then it would be normal that you would be thinking that it should really be that just good on looking the business
at least having some progress. You can start small and make it big afterwards but results or outcomes would be entirely be depending on how well you do handle your business.

We know that it is really just that easy to make a business or investment but being successful into it would really be never a guarantee on which it would really be just that
understandable that results might really vary and some mix of luck on whatever things you are really that tending to do so.

If someone told you a guaranteed sports bet that had a 100% chance of winning, how much would you bet on it?

If you had a $10,000 bankroll, would you go all in? We’re talking 100% can’t lose bet.

Would you take out a loan? How would you go about acquiring a large sum of money if you didn’t have the capital.

Let’s say the match is starting 24 hours from now, what would be your plan to maximize your profit?

Asking for a friend  Wink

Obviously there is no such thing as a bet with a 100% chance of winning, so I imagine that there is some irregularity in this that could be:
- A bug detected on the website;
- Bribing a player so that he commits a foul, an own goal, or even causes an expulsion, etc.

Thinking about these hypotheses, I would certainly not even make that bet, because first:
It's illegal... although money is never too much, you need to understand the morality of this issue and also the risks involved. Certainly my imprisonment for justice is not worth the money earned.
Consequently, because it is doing something illegal, there is a possibility that the site will detect the fraud and block all the money invested in the bet, money that will never return to the player.

If your 100% winning bet isn't illegal, I would certainly bet good money (not my entire investment, let alone loans). But I don't see that this is possible.
a bet with a 100% winning chance? Imagine that. As 'imaginative' as they may be, your theories offer a plethora of entertaining nonsense. Bribing players due to a bug on the website. You make an accurate appraisal of the morality and legality. Nonetheless, there's a noticeable lack of maturity. Gambling is all about excitement, risk, and uncertainty. Maybe one should stick to bonds and fixed deposits if they want guarantees?

And then there's this gem - "If your 100% winning bet isn't illegal, I would certainly bet good money". Wow, what faulty reasoning. Even if betting were a science, I doubt its theorem would state that anything is 100% certain. Hey, everyone enjoys a good laugh sometimes. I toast to your novel perspective on the unlikely


Bribing any players is a reality for some smaller leagues but that information are mostly classified and just for the inner circle only because they are the ones who will benefit best from it as for them, it's a business day and for some reasons, they might need that loss or win, either way, we just don't know why.

And for simple terms, to us, the gambler, there's a slight chance that we will have this kind of information as it's not that shared on the outside. And if you're a bettor, then you surely aren't from the inner circle because if you are already benefitting from it in the first place then surely you don't have to wager any money towards it. Makes sense right.
Totally that something an information that wont really go out so easily or would really be known if ever there would really be some plans in speaking about rigging or fixing a match.This is why if ever we do see someone

who do make out some claims that they do have some insider information then i wouldn't really be tending on buying out if ever we do see these things around.Its true that its not an information that you could really be able to see on public places or social medias. This is why 99% or even 100% of them are just pretending or simply faking out and luring in people to believe on what he's been saying.This is why it is really that totally risky when you do maximize out your potential profit and taking up some loan just to bet on a certain game just because you've been saying that there is really that match fixing? You dont even know about its source.

Also, when it comes to total gambling or betting experience then it would really be that enjoyable and thrilling if you are the ones who do make out such bet choice rather than on relying into others.
Its not really that something that could assure out some win and also it wont really be that much regretable if ever you had made out the wrong choice.

If you must follow or use the services of trading signals which is not bad in itself you should do so smartly. By smartly, I mean that at the beginning it is all about following and understanding the thinking process behind those signals and learning everyday. If you insist on using them, do not do so blindly, validate each signal provider by putting in the work. Record their past four to six months' trades on a spreadsheet and check them on historical charts. After you have done this, you may now proceed to choosing the ones consistently in profit despite their losing trades. The advantage is that they will help you reduce your time spent in analysis. This is one of the best ways to make  use of or follow trading signals channels or services. What is your opinion?
I am totally against following any other signals blindly. Signal providers will give you 5 signals at least daily, only few will hit the target so why not give some time to learn all basics and start trading with own strategy. If anybody think that analysis will waste it time then I will recommend just leave trading and start other business because without knowledge trading will give only loss. We spent lot of our life years in school to get small job so that our life become settle but we are not ready to spend two-three months to seek trading where we will invest our life earning income. I

 have researched many crypto signal providers signals and their signals not hit 70% and most if the time Market react totally opposite so I will recommend to learn analysing and then start with small money to test and then start own trading without depending on anyone.
Never ever make yourself that getting blinded with these groups or set of people or whatsoever called signal provider on which we do know that they wont really be that giving out assurance or no one would be able to know

on how the market would really be ending up.Better to start and make your own and never ever consider yourself blindly follow these guys.Aside from no assured results, you could or wont really be able to learn yourself
on doing trades just because you are simply following, unlike when you are really that making your trades on your own on which you are really that learning and at the same time you wont really be that blaming
yourself on the time that those people you do follow do fucked up your trading capital or investment basing up on how they do trade.

So never ever consider yourself on following specially if you are a newbie, nothing beats out if you are really that able to trade on your own and acquire knowledge along the way.This would really be molding you up
for the better as you would go further or proceeding on. Dont rely on others but its not bad to snip out some trading ideas with these people though as long it would really be that
relevant or something that you could apply it on your own.

DOTA2: Does anyone remember what happened to the wild card tournament for the Dota2 TI? I remember that there’s this kind of tournament last year that give chance to top 2 and 3 on regional qualifiers to compete with other same rank on other divisions for an extra 2 spot for the TI.

I’m surprised that this wild card was removed since the next tournament will be TI already. This tournament is really cool since last year TI was finished 2nd and 3rd place(Secret and Liquid) are both product of this wild card tournament if I'm not mistaken. Last chance tournament is the other description of this tournament.

https://win.gg/news/wildcard-tournament-returning-for-the-international-11/
Remembered that one on which to those who had able to reach out 2-3rd place on regional qualifiers had really the chance on proving themselves on getting a slot on TI which even myself
did expect that there might be some possibility that it would be applied now but it seems that they dont do it now which same as you said that the next tourney would be already TI.
Lots of tier 1 teams had been able not to get in specially on SEA which results arent really that expected even on that OG too.

The thing i dont like with this upcoming TI in Dota 2 is that they didnt really launched that Battle pass on which this is what i do excitedly been waiting
year by year on buying up those sets. New skins and new perks or whatsoever.  Grin
757  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market Price in Respect of News on: September 02, 2023, 11:40:39 PM
You may have to believe this with me that news has it own part in a little way that contributed to the market demand or supply and when there's a little shift in any, you should know the implications that there will be also change in the market price, what make the changes is the demand and supply within the bitcoin network but what alter or affect these demands and supplies are other micro factors like the incidence of breaking news, if you could remember the first launch of BlackRock spot bitcoin ETF made cause the bitcoin market to go dip, though things can happen coincidentally but the facts also remains that they have little way of adjusting the demand and supply.
I also don't see BlackRock's first launch of a spot bitcoin ETF as a coincidence with the drop in Bitcoin prices in the market. Likewise with other news which does have an influence on increasing prices because in general good news can always influence the level of demand and supply in the market. Because most people who often use the market to make profits will definitely take advantage of any moment as long as that moment can be very profitable after they read the news or see certain events that can have an influence on the price of crypto assets in the market.

What is mostly common with people is whenever they see that the market pump or dump they try to attribute it to something else happening around the crypto news or the economy development either positively or negatively, we have to consider that the market depends on it supply rate to demand level and so on in making the adjustment to the market price over a period of time, people would have talked alot about the recent rise to $28,100 and how it suddenly plummet down to $25,900 we all know that there's much in anticipation over the market bull but it's may not take the same direction we expect it to go through, this are why the market is unpredictable sometimes.
A very normal reaction on which it would really be just that casual that you would really be having that kind of approach on whatever things that you would really be able to encounter specially if you have just recently seen

the price had dropped on the time that you do bought then it cant really be that avoided that you would really be finding some valid reason on what actually happens. We know that fundamentals doesnt work anytime and it would really be that depending on the entire market whether it would move or not.It does really vary and this is why some people are really that focusing too much when it comes to fundamentals but
mostly they would really be that going  or would be making use of technicals on which it would really be just depending or varying on a certain trader.

Whether the news could really be that negative or positive but it doesnt always reflect out or shows whether the price would be going up or down.
So whether you would be making out some combinations whether you would be going for technicals + fundamentals, then it would really be your choice.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Behaviours of gamblers you dislike. on: September 02, 2023, 10:19:48 PM
As for me I dislike when gamblers complain of their losses, meanwhile you hear them complain when they are getting winnings.
I also hate the gamblers who blames us because they get losses. Moreover, if they ask for help or they follow the same way with their own intentions. They know that there will be always no guarantee for wins. But when they really get losses, they don't want to accept it and blame us. It is like the lazy gamblers who always want instant wins but they never accept the risks. To be honest, I will never to share anything again with the typical gamblers like this.

I believe no gamblers will complain when they win. Why they complain? All gamblers expect for winning every gambling game, but it is always not easy because no exact way to determine the wins.  Grin




The attitude of a gambler that I hated the most is that when that gambler loss their bet and then we you talk and shared your experience on that game suddenly he rise his voice and get angry because he will not able to cash out because all his money will gone. And then when he light up you are the one who is being victim cause of his attitude. Then that's the reason why I dislike that kind of gamblers.

Such gamblers are temperamental gamblers who take out their frustrations on other people regardless of who that person is. They tend to get out of control and go crazy when they are angry. Losing a bet is certainly a very annoying cause. Many gamblers have bad attitudes when they lose, but being crazy and temperamental is an attitude that cannot be forgiven.
This is why on the time that you do find yourself to be that too impulsive on which you are really that getting too far on the time you would be losing a bet or simply losing money, then why not completely stop?

You are really that making yourself that getting embarassed because of this type of behavior on which not all people would really be like this and not all would really be having that kind of control on which you could really be able to handle out on the time that you would be losing money. No one really wants nor likes on losing money on which it would really be that normal on having these kind of reactions but when you do go
into a certain condition which making out some actions which arent supposed to be done despite of such extreme disappointment or something that could be done on someone who still on their right minds.

The thing that i dont really like is not to be able to sotp mid-way specially if you are already making out some profits or already on negative or huge losses on which you would be chasing it up.
Its a very common behavior but eventually there are people who could stop mid-way but it would really be that rare on doing so.
759  Economy / Economics / Re: Any business where today you launch, tomorrow you begin making profit...? on: September 02, 2023, 07:49:26 PM
It is true that some businesses can turn a profit relatively quickly, but in most cases a guaranteed profit from day one is not possible. Successful businesses often require careful planning, time to establish a customer base, marketing efforts, operational adjustments, and more.

 but I have a business idea that includes some of your views:
My idea is to open a street food shop.
you will need a small initial investment to open a shop, find a tourist destination like any pier or bus station, a good chef etc.
it generates quick profits with low risk.
I am surprised by people who ask how to make money quickly, in fact no business can grow big overnight, there needs to be a mature strategy, the products offered are attractive and also good marketing and I agree with the idea of street food, in every city nowadays we have easily met young people hanging out and opening a street food business can provide quick profits but not in one night, it takes consistent work to produce a successful business. besides that, choosing a location is also very important if you want to open a street food business.
Just let them be on able to experience the real taste of reality on which its true that there's no such thing on "build business now, enjoy profits tomorrow".  Grin
We know that in every business then there's involved a capital on which it would really be just that so normal that the main thing that we do have in mind is on how to make that return of investment as fast as possible,
on which means that you would really be needing to have sales and this would really involved a particular span or moment of time or duration on which it wont really be that talking about "tomorrow" but rather
it would be taking several months or even years in speaking of ROI.

On any business then the toughest thing that you would really be able to encounter is on how you would really be able to get your first customer and then the next one and so on. This is something that you should
bare in mind or being that too concern on how you would really be able to sustain. Dont make yourself in rush on making profits because it cant really be done overnight.
This is where people do usually built up mistakes due to that kind of wrong belief.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: September 02, 2023, 06:40:11 PM
And we do know on how taxes or how its been applied on a certain country or a certain economy and this is why its never been that always getting banned on some countries just because they are really that focusing

on the benefit rather than into its effect or con's which it is most likely be talking about gambling addiction.Some places might really be that focusing into this issue but some would really be just simply neglect and just give out those casual cautions and warnings that gambling is addictive but still they are supporting. We know that what matter the most for them is about taxes which it is normal since these amounts are really that the ones do help out on countries development since we do know on what taxes are for.

Some would really be that skeptical into its possible effects but we know that these things are personal approach and tolerance about addiction. Gambling is for fun and its our responsibility
on how we would really gonna handle ourselves when it comes to this because you are the ones who would be making out such decision whether you do play that much or not.
The implementation of this tax sometimes also makes people jealous because they have to pay quite high taxes, while there are still rich people who don't pay taxes regularly and seem to do whatever they want. And the implementation of this tax has not been carried out properly, especially if there are cases carried out by irresponsible persons.

Even though they support gambling, they should also be able to pay more attention to their citizens who have been gambling for a long time by giving a stern warning to those who cannot follow the existing regulations. The government can also set up a rehabilitation center for people who are already addicted to gambling as a form of concern for the government and its citizens. The tax money could be used to build more rehabilitation centers to treat more people with gambling addictions better.

Only we know how far we have gambled, so we need to stop gambling for a while, and maybe leaving it will be better for us so we don't experience gambling addiction. It is true that gambling is for fun and our responsibility, but many people are still negligent in carrying out this responsibility. We have to keep trying to be a responsible gambler.
Of course, it would be great if all those politicians and bankers who determine the tax rules and rates of specific taxes would always calculate the optimal percentage of taxes on citizens and set different tax rates depending on a person's income.  Especially taxes on millionaires and billionaires, which should be more, I think, in percentage terms than for ordinary citizens of wage earners.  Unforunately, this is not the case in all countries of the world.  And in most countries of the world, no taxes go to the construction of rehabilitation centers for the treatment of gambling addi otion.  There is simply no budget for this.  In addition, there is always corruption in government institutions around the world, and even if such money is allocated, then most of this money can simply be stolen by corrupt officials and businessmen.  So I think it's up to family members to solve problems with gambling addiction.  But this is a complex matter and it is not known how it will turn out.  Can the person be cured?  Unknown?
Curing addiction is something a very common problem on this kind of industry on which it could really be particularly be solved out by yourself but since each person does have that different level of tolerance when it

comes to addiction then outcome and situation would really very on each individual on which it would really be that a common approach. Getting cured? You would really be finding yourself to be able to cure out
if you are really that willing on doing so and its not really that necessary on touching up spaces for you to seek out some help.This would be only your last resort because not all would really be having that kind of control and awareness of things around on what they should gonna do.


Speaking about taxes and its application and the people who are behind on trying out to utilize its users on outmost worth usage then its true that we are living on a world on whose government would really be
totally different in each other which there are some who are really that serious on building out their economic good as possible via applying out on building infrastructures and other possible economic
add-ons for them to be able to have that kind of good effect for everyone and there are to those ones who do love on corrupting on their countries purse which its not really
that shocking anymore.
