I remember the time when I was only a spectator who used to read the news and watch videos of people making trades or analysis and everything, and I've always just wanted to do it myself but never had the funds to get started. At the same time, I didn't have much knowledge and zero experience, so I was afraid of losing money as well.

But then, after some time, I managed to get together some money and make a budget to start trading, and when I first started, I made some mistakes as a beginner, going behind tokens and coins which are gaining value temporarily without knowing their background or doing any research.

I lost a lot of money at the beginning, but that taught me every lesson that I needed to gain profits later in trading. So I eventually learnt everything and then I started managing my risks and started gaining profits over losses.

Yes of course, because it's already mentioned that he is looking forward to investing in Bitcoin but we all have the same reason on why we invest in Bitcoin and that is because for the profit so in case the price shoots up right after you gift the Bitcoin, your friend might still be encourage of selling some portions of the BTC if not all. This is better than completely missing the opportunity because you know a bull run can sometimes be elusive.

At the end of the day, it was still up to you if what rules you are going to apply to your friend because it was still your money not his. Also, It will be better if you can give a little amount of BTC and give a portion of cash assistance so that those people won't touch their BTC for a while.

It's true that many newbies start without a solid strategy and end up losing all their funds. It's important to understand the earning frequency and set reasonable goals to avoid losing everything. I agree that not chasing losses and being mindful of emotions such as fear and greed can be a good technique to cut losses.

It's also wise to cut off bets when it's not going in your favor and to avoid risking large amounts of your balance on one bet. These are valuable insights that can help both new and experienced gamblers maximize their chances of success.

I believe it depends on your experience and knowledge about each sport and game, and how you understand the teams competing, their previous stats, their current conditions, managers, and everything. After evaluating all that, you can choose the better side. But at the end of the day, it all comes down to luck, because even the most successful team can lose against the most unsuccessful side when luck plays in their favor.

For the best platform, if you ask, I would suggest Stake.com being the best among their competitors when it comes to gambling or sportsbook. Stake has earned its name since it's inception, and is the leading casino and sportsbook at the moment.

I like your dedication and ambition to gain profits by investing in Bitcoin, and let me tell you that you got nothing to worry about as you have just started and you have entered the market at not a very bad position. The price of Bitcoin is still pretty low for those who want to invest for the long term, and I believe you can hold your Bitcoins for long enough until they turn profitable.

The price of Bitcoin keeps fluctuating, so that isn't something you should be worried about. No matter how small your investment might be, it is not bad for a start, and you can always add more in the future when you can.

It's true that Real got a bit luck with some of the goals, there is no doubt about that but they just dominated the whole game after a while. I hope to see Everton here somewhere eventually, or at least any team that Stake likes to sponsor, doesn't matter which team it is, because seeing the stake name on a big UCL game, and not like benfica vs brugge type of thing, I mean seriously good like this one, then it would not only be good for them, but would be good for crypto in general.

This game was already obvious to me, Real may not be as good as last year but UCL is still their baby and will play much better whereas Liverpool sucked big time so far this season, like the worst in the last 5+ years or so.

As a crypto enthusiast yes because by accepting crypto in our business could mean that we are spreading awareness about it to those people who are new to it. The only sad part is that I don't have any business right now or stores. I think I will save up for a while and once I already have a decent capital maybe I will ask my wife if what business she wants to open up.

I won't hesitate to put a crypto logo in my business banner and then I will stick a poster with QR code of crypto. They can scan it and they will be redirected to a crypto website to help them understand it further. I think it's also a good idea to put some free cryptos there as a form of reward.

Are they making progress in operating legally in the US? Is there any news about that? Because as can be seen on their Licenses page, they clearly say "No US Bets" and that the IPs are blocked if someone uses the site from around there. But I heard that Stake is not strict about using VPNs to access their services.

Apart from Drake, they've also extended their partnership with UFC recently. So that probably brings in more hype and more gamblers for the platform.

Being the leading gambling and sportsbook platform, they should have dealt with the situation internally and should have managed to save one of their most loyal and high betters from losing such a big amount, but what could be said.

$165k is a very big amount, and I feel you should take further action if you can to fight against it. One thing that doesn't fall in your support is the fact that you are a victim of a phishing scam and they can easily raise this issue against your words.

Don't I know about it. I could reach 30k that's true, but it would take me a long time where is some people bet that much in a single bet. Which made me realize long time ago how "poor" I am.

Of course I do not consider myself living a bad life or anything, I am very happy about my life, I just realized some people just have way too much, I never had 30k in my bank in my entire life, and these people wager 30k in a single bet that they can lose, which means they may have millions and losing what I consider to be a huge amount in a single bet is unimportant for them. Which is why it's not "easy target" for many people like me, it takes a long time.

I agreed about this all here because now reality is open, and law enforcement agencies are not powerful like these mafias, and they are having all resources for controlling things by their own but here we can do some things for having better results from these gambling sites just their investment which will help for having better transparency and technology and with this increased salaries and bonuses for the players which will also encourage them for having better performance and better results without any fault play like we have in soccer.

Criminalize sports betting is never been ideal thing just bring them in legal framework and having better things from this all which is not bad at all because in few countries they try to ban but completely fail and also having side effects as well which is surely not good for the sports and players as well.

It's simply because they are too addicted at that time to notice the disaster that they are walking into, and when their face hits the floor, they suddenly become conscious and start realizing what they've lost one by one, and all they've left is regret. It isn't so simple if you put yourself in their shoes.

An addiction such as gambling can be very dangerous for a human being if it crosses its limit which is what happens when people even lend out their homes to borrow money for gambling and they are not basically conscious when they are doing so, but they are blind due to the addiction.

I did expected Real to win and wagered accordingly, so that part was definitely good, but even when I wagered on it, I thought it would be a closer game and did not see this happening at all. It is definitely a very weird situation to be in, it is not really that great right now for Liverpool.

Like they didn't just get dominant right up, they even got 2-0 up in the very early minutes of the game, all they had to do was defend with everything they had for the rest of the game and yet they ended up getting scored on 5! times, that is really a shame. I am sorry to all of my friends here that are LFC fans, I know a few here, and I hope you guys can get much better soon.

I wouldn't call this a bad side of sports betting because it's not its fault but it's the fault of the people who do this. In other gambling games (casino games) frauds can still happen. There is no perfect system. The only way to avoid them is to stay informed. Always read the news and listen to the talks around you, so that you will know if the sports betting game is suspected to be a fixed match or not. Same goes when playing on a casino site. You can avoid them as well if you heard that the casino is shady.

Yes, we should not be encouraged to bet in a fixed match even though we get insider information as this was still wrong and they will only be encouraged (the organizers of this event) to repeat the same thing.

They most probably wanted to cut down the incoming questions in their thread and avoid being active in the forum otherwise they would need to attend and clear scam accusations as well, so they preferred cutting their link from the forum.

I've checked their Twitter, and they are pretty active there, running promotions and doing partnerships with several different casinos to lure in more players. Those who play on their platform are probably not from this forum. Also, their token is relatively new in the market and still has got about 98% of the total tokens under their own hands. So, they can do anything at any given time.

That is why it's such a risky thing and should be avoided as much as possible. I know that it is not going to be easy to give your KYC right away, because like you said there are a lot of people who would like to keep being anonymous, but if they do that then they are going to get busted when they win something and the risk doesn't worth the reward.

On the other hand if you really want to, you could just avoid KYC asking places for a while, because some of them do not ask it right away, only ask when needed, and if not needed, then you won't be giving it. No matter what you do, just don't give false information because that is not a good idea at all.

But I felt like their site design looks normal to me and there are casinos who have a better design than them. The space of the gambling is also small. Maybe they need to add more width and length. There is no way to hide the chat and the menu bar. It would be better if they will work that out as well. They might need to change their license so that they can cater more players around the world. Curacao license must also be a strict one and it might require gamblers a KYC.

This is another thing which can affect the traffic of the casino. Overall, this was still a new casino so we will expect that they will still improved it and add more exciting features later on. Goodluck to them.

Nothing is perfect not even Bitcoin but it is one of the good birthday present for someone who is into Bitcoin already or is addicted to it. How can he say that he can't afford investing in BTC when we are not force to buy a one whole Bitcoin? But, any amount can perfectly work already. This is the advantage of investing in Bitcoin compared to other non-crypto assets out there that has a minimum.

0.03BTC is valued at 745.35 USD currently. It's a decent amount already and it will surely help your friend if he is struggling financially. He can immediately sell a portion of this BTC. He shouldn't worry because the value of BTC can still grow. When he have some extra money and the price of BTC dips, he can also buy to replenish the borrowed BTC.

According to other replies and to the trust feedback of the OP, maybe he got banned again. That is the reason why he isn't online after some time. For you maybe, you won't avail such service because you are very confident about your own ability but not all bettors are the same as you, especially if they are only a newbie but are already itchy to make money.

They will just find a service like this to help them decide and they expect that it will give them a better winning rate. Not only in sports betting but this is also happening in trading. There are copy trade service as well that someone can use. Sometimes these service are not free so it's a bit costly.

Yeah that is definitely a great offer, hence why people were a bit afraid that it may not be real At the end of the day there are so many "hacked" places all around the world, not even just crypto nor just casinos, like every single place could get hacked as long as hackers could get even just the mails, they could sell the mail list to others. So, there was a fear that it was something like that and nothing serious, thank God that it was real.

The offer itself is definitely an amazing one, unreal even, definitely should be something to look out for, I would say that the best chances would be the ones you can control, not random result ones, much better that way.
