2021  Economy / Economics / Re: US Gov. on the brink of defaulting, + National Debt Clock on: January 31, 2023, 08:21:59 PM
when the US central bank (government owned)
and the US treasury(government owned) have a debt between themselves

.. is it truly a debt
Well, it may look silly at first, but when you consider the (smaller) debt that US owes to other countries, any kind of movement in the big debt will send reverberations to all the other national debts. It's not like they can just write off the $31T and pretend that it didn't happen, because other non-government entities have other loans with the central bank and the Federal reserve.
They can't just act as if it doesn't exists, but the problem they have right now is within and not with other nations. It's basically US government saying that you can't be in this much debt to itself, and blocking to get even more debt, and that causes a bit of a trouble, because in order to grow you need to make a debt.

Imagine yourself like a factory owner, you make 10k breads a day, and make 10k dollars in profit, if you take a loan of 1 million dollars, you can buy machines that could make 20k breads, and make you 20k dollars per day, and you can pay the loan back easily, but now you have 1 million dollar in debt, next day, you want to get 10 million in debt and make 100k breads and 100k profit a day, the next day you want 1 billion in .. you see? Other nations are fine with it, because they know USA can pay it back, it's USA within that's arguing it.

Winning a free bet is already giving you a good vibe for the day, but seeing a couple of days later that you have also won a multibet with that



Well, it's something. Smiley

Thank you, Sportsbet.io, for running these amazing competitions, for the great odds, and for the opportunity to make the already great odds boosted!
That's definitely something nice, and always has been. I like the freebets in a sense because I like to do the most impossible bets ever, like the favourites to win, so that should be easy right? Like the team I bet on has 1.40 odds, so I should win right? Yeah, but I pick like 15 of them if I can Cheesy.

Or whatever max I am allowed at that moment, 15 was my max but maybe one day I can manage to bet on more. That's the type of thing I like, when you have 10-15 bets, in a single ticket, with odds ranging from 1.20 to 1.70, that's still pretty insane to hit. Never managed to win anything with that before, it is definitely something difficult, but I bet I will get it eventually.

Beginner+low budget. But NFT's are not meant for beginners. They are highly risk assets. They are not like a typical crypto where you can just sell them anytime you want in the market. And also they are not budget friendly but all legit NFT's are expensive in price. It can range to millions or even billions. You as a beginner in crypto I would only recommend you to go with crypto coins first.

You can choose if you want altcoins, tokens or bitcoin. The reason why I didn't limit you to with bitcoin is because its value is also expensive. There are still great alts and tokens out there which you can easily buy per piece. A good example would be polygon's matic.

I know there's a few people who proposed a similar idea but I think it was unsuccessful because the thread receive lots of criticism and then forgotten after some days. It's truly hard to entrust your keys to someone else online but unless maybe if they do have a physical office similar to banks but many banks are much older and much known than them so it's easier for them to gain the trust of the public.

Anyway, cases of lost Bitcoins aren't really new but their numbers are high before compared to now because people back in time are clueless that the coin that they are holding are very valuable that its price can increase by a lot of folds.

With this logic, They should really have the feature to forfeit the bonus since it will be automatically forfeited once the bonus expired. Locking the casino funds for the sake of bonus is really what I’m describing. Are you even gambling or participating on other casino promotion? Bonus can’t disable withdraw function, Other casino just automatically forfeit the bonus once the user withdraw funds.

Besides who the heck wants to hold funds on the casino and wait for the bonus expires before he can withdraw the funds. I won this bonus through there promotion and this is not from the regular bonus given to everyone. I’m inquiring for amendments before I play for a better gambling experience.
That's why we lock up funds just to be able to get a bonus, whereas we have a big risk of losing money when locking up funds.
We register and use casinos to play and bet, not just looking for bonuses that have been given. If the bonuses that are given are not so profitable, it would be better for these funds to be used to play alone with the aim of getting bigger profits again.
I got victimized about this last time but it was also accidental that I click on the deposit bonus. All the time I was avoiding it because I am afraid my balance will only run out before I get the bonus but shit happened and the worse did really occurred on me. Now I hate that site and I am trying to avoid playing at them.

Not all who use the casino are only playing for fun but I believe that the majority are playing for the profit but only some have the courage to play the deposit bonus due to their crazy high wagering requirements. Before we play the bonus, we will first check if it's worth risking if not then we will just play using the money that we deposit.
2026  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: First thing i will do if Bitcoin become legal tender globally on: January 30, 2023, 06:03:31 PM
I don't think it's a misconception are the ones that they feel but they are only lack of understanding about Bitcoin. Some of them does this intentionally. They can't just accept that Bitcoin is better than their fiat creations and then they can't control Bitcoin. Even though BTC is decentralized, it is still possible for it to be banned. China and others have in fact already done that long time ago and some of them still unbanned BTC.

In which country you are living now huh @OP? As long as BTC is allowed there then you can always start your plan. There is no need for you to wait before BTC becomes a legal tender in your country or on every other countries because BTC being a legal tender doesn't have to do with mining. It's about BTC can be used directly to purchase goods.
2027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hit And Run Gambling - Can The House Be Beaten This way? on: January 30, 2023, 03:41:04 PM
On the first scenario, id say no and for me I think it's only safe to say that the house or the casino has been beaten when they stop operating due to bankruptcy cause by the players winning a lot. So, it means you shouldn't only be the one who must win but all or majority of the players too.

On the second scenario, I think this was only the same as the first but you only add a reason on what did that gambler do next after quitting playing on a casino however I do like this initiative. This must be the thing that a gambler must do after winning a lot. That is to use the money on something valuable and it doesn't really matter if they are a new gambler or not.
2028  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you like commission job or salary base job? on: January 29, 2023, 06:52:20 PM
Among these two, I believe it depends on the skills of a person that is doing the job. Some people are so good with sales and stuff that they can make a lot of money with commission based jobs, so they would never prefer a salary based job over it. On the other hand, some people like introverts, they can never succeed in a commission based job since they lack basic communication skills. So, it totally depends on how you can handle it.

I personally prefer own business, no matter how small or big. Be your own boss, and be free to experiment. Commission job must be kind of own business still you cannot earn unlimited in most cases. So, for the people who love to risk, running a business must be more appropriate option in my opinion.
2029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there gambling games/sports that suits a particular gender the more? on: January 29, 2023, 10:24:24 AM
With the question like this, the first thing that came in to my mind is the miss universe pageant which have also happened recently. I think there are sports betting sites who caters these kind of events. This suits better for the girls who like to gamble because if they are not into gambling then they can just watch this event in the local TV or in the web.

In sports, there are a few which are being played or can be played by the girls and they are the following; Volleyball, Boxing, MMA, Wrestling, and Swimming. For the casino games, there are girl themed slots. I also noticed that many girls are hooked in the game called bingo or crazy time.

Today we have an early game between PSV vs G. A. Eagles which won by home team PSV easily with the margin of 2 - 0 now with this win they are at the third spot and things looking better for them because now with this performance they can stay here for some more weeks even still need good improvement for having better results.

Right now, we have another exciting match which is playing between AZ Alkmaar vs Utrecht after the end of the first half both teams are having good results score is 3 - 3 which is clearly showing how aggressive game is going and now if AZ Alkmaar won this game they could be at the top of the league table with 42 points and tomorrow we have another challenging game which is going to play between current leaders Twente vs Feyenoord this will decide that can Feyenoord can stay at the top, or they will also drop in future because right now things are wide open for the title.
2031  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: It is ok to sell your Bitcoin. on: January 28, 2023, 05:16:34 PM
Those who said that are selfish and only thinks about themselves. They don't want people to sell but just buy only in order for the price to rise but after that, they will make sure that they are the ones that will sell first before the price dips.

So my question is:
~ Do people hodl just because others are HODLing?
~ Why do people hodl rather than sell and buy again when low
~ What is your major reason for HODLing and how do your survive the bear market?
~ Yes, but not all people are hodling a Bitcoin. Some are just using it as a currency.

~ Those HODL, doesn't HODL their coins forever but they also sell it when the bull market arrives. There are some who sells it early for some reasons like they are worried or they simply need a money for emergency purpose.

~ My major reason for hodling is to have something to use for the future because life is so unpredictable. I might have a job now and not having a difficulty but I shouldn't be contented with it. I know I can just save a fiat but BTC is much better as its value grows overtime. I can survive the bear by leaving the market for a while.

I believe serious action will be taken by Arteta because he is a Manger that learns from his Mistakes.

At this stage, Arsenal needs to win at least one match against Manchester City in the premier league if they really want to win the league this season and to keep their winning consistency if they really want to maintain their position in the league.


It's a little more interesting now to see the statement issued by Pep after the match was over as if indicating that they could win the EPL with the results achieved in this match.
This seems to indicate that their war will continue, but on the other hand, I still believe in Arsenal, especially seeing what Arteta did in this match, including marking man to man, they are actually still quite effective with a squad that can actually be said to be a coating for the main team.
These statements are mostly happen in Premier League title race because it's part of this all with few big names were also used this in past but this time I have feeling things are still favouring Arsenal because they have done better job and have clearly chance to win in Premier League despite losing this match. Arteta doing good strategy which is giving them better results and their game plan for this match marking by player to player was also effective, but surely they also need to score goals in these situations as well because to win having goals is also must without these results never been positive for them in big games.

Now in coming match we will have better Arsenal against Manchester City for the Premier League match because this will also give better view how things will go until end of this season can Arsenal get title or Manchester City will be stopped them.
2033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 28, 2023, 07:23:21 AM
Atalanta have made progress in the recent times. They haven't lost for four weeks in the league. They could have even increase their winning streak to three games if they managed to beat Juventus. They had a potential to do it as well because of getting ahead two times in the game. But this performance was still promising for their future games.

This time they are playing a comfortable game against Sampdoria. I don't expect a surprising result in this. Sampdoria are obviously one of the worst teams of the season. They can't resist much here.
Atlanta always have good start and then poor weeks bring them down but this time they were not good in early rounds and now after break they have very good start with eight points from four games which is surely amazing, and their attack is also producing good results for them and if today they are able to won against Sampdoria and Roma lost against Napoli then their next rank could be fourth which is good because now things are change into league, and they have fair chance for the staying into top four with all top teams are able to give their best and have good end of this season, but still consistency is needed.

Their performance against Juventus was really amazing but sadly not able to won but now Sampdoria is currently one of the worst so things looking positive for their higher rank for next few rounds.

Even though Al-Nassr already has Ronaldo in their squad, the fact is, Al-Nassr still can't beat Al-Ittihad FC. Also in fact, Al-Ittihad FC is not a team that often wins titles both in the league and also in the Super Cup so basically the quality of Al-Ittihad FC is not that good.
Meanwhile, with Ronaldo at least Al-Nassr expected good results by winning and winning many titles, but what happened was that Al-Nassr was eliminated from the Super Cup event because Al-Nassr lost by Al-Ittihad FC with a final score of 3-1.
Hopefully you understand soccer it's not one or two persons game here we need 11 players and with this all good combination and understanding is also important for the win or having better performance now Cristiano Ronaldo is here, and it's just matter of days not long time with this all for better performance and having positive results he needs time hopefully after few weeks he will be able to give better results for the Al-Nassr Club which is currently at the top of league table.

Quality of Saudi League is not good with this we have to understand Al-Ittihad is also having services of few foreign players and their performance is also not bad at all because they are at fourth spot with just two points gaps, but yesterday they beat Al-Nassr in Super Cup semifinal and now have spot into final of the Super Cup which will be played on 29th January against the Al Feiha at 13th rank in Saudi Professional League.

Napoli won 5-1 against one of the strongest teams in Serie A, Juventus. And in the next match, they will play against Roma. I would say if a Napoli team can dominate and win against Roma then I think Napoli will continue this streak in the Champions League as well. A Napoli team should not be underestimated this season. They have been performing well since the beginning of the season. After that, Napoli will play against Frankfurt in about 4 weeks. Napoli is expected to win if players do not suffer major injuries.
Napoli are currently having a great performance. All the pillars of the team are playing brilliantly and Napoli are really going for the win. But the match against Roma I think will be very strong. Because Paulo Dybala is in one of the best forms in the Roma team.
Napoli's form from round one in Serie A is amazing, and they are not taking break which is also good their first game in Champions League was also having impressive result which give them big win, and now they have good match against German Frankfurt which is also playing aggressive game and having good season in their domestic league with now chance into knock out round of the Champions League here most chances Napoli could be on track to qualify for the quarterfinal and then for me, they have strength to be in last four as well because they are playing amazing soccer and giving no chance to their opponents for having any challenge for them.

After thrashing Juventus now AS Roma is also on front for the match in next round in Serie A but most chances they could be lost this match by big margin like Napoli beats Juventus because things are completely favoring them at home.
2036  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Excessive greed is detrimental to investment on: January 27, 2023, 11:14:03 AM
When I was new to cryptocurrency I was totally ignorant about market prediction, volume, future plans.  Then I invested in some cryptocurrencies.  After a few days of investment, I made quite a few dollars.  But due to little knowledge about the market and excessive greed, I did not sell the crypto currencies I invested in the market at that time.  So currently I am at a loss of $14000.  Now I have no alternative but to wait for a long time.  Finally I would like to say one thing from my real life, don't get too greedy in cryptocurrencies and hold any particular coin for a long time.  It has the possibility of much more loss than profit.
It is a very harsh fact but true. I was also in the same situation in 2021, instead of selling all coins for a profit x2-x3 times, but not everything happened because of that ambition and I lost the opportunity to make money. . Greed is not suitable for crypto investments. Unfortunately, humans are always ambitious and get greedy when faced with those situations. Like a magical attraction.
All of us have gone through that phase when we are still a newbie so there is no need to be ashamed about that but we must be proud to tell this story on how we overcome it later on. Even if most of us are successful now, this kind of stories will still be a very big part of us. In your case there you said you only sell your coins for 2x and 3x profits?

I think that was still fine and not totally disappointing at all. What is really disappointing is if we ended up in a loss because of chasing higher returns. Like the title says, excessive greed is detrimental to success so that means that a non-excessive greed is still fine as it gives us unnatural energy.

So you set the rows and risk and let it go on auto bet, I assume.
Since, I usually only wager 1$ per time I don't go for high risk, since I believe statistically I could not manage to get up to 1000 tries before running out of money.
I could also try to go for a low risk configuration and elevate the wager some time to see how it goes.
Yes, I use an auto bet, but I don't bet as big as your bet in each round, it's just below, sometimes even at the beginning it's only $0.01 and increases it periodically every time it reaches several hundred rounds.
Playing plinko at stake is very light unlike in one of the casinos where I tried to play it and the game didn't run smoothly.
That's a good idea, everyone should gamble based on how much they have, and not based on what would be cool looking or anything like that. I wager with bare minimum that is allowed in every game, whatever stake allows me to bet the minimum, I wager that much.

I remember a period when we had 1 satoshi on primedice, and I did that because it was the lowest allowed there at that point. All in all I have to say that it's going to be something that would be realistic for people who has fun with gambling because it gives them a chance to gamble the way they want and it makes them do better job because they just like to gamble and that's it.

What's going on with Ajax? Now they failed to beat Volendam at home, one of worst teams in league. It's already their 7th game without a win in Eredivisie. Ajax had complete dominance, making over 900 passes, but Volendam manage to score with their first and only attempt on target in whole game on 59 minute.
After final whistle fans booed their own team, it says a lot... Ajax is still relatively close to the top, but with such performances they can't even dream about winning league.
Now after having one of the most shameful result against team like Volendam which is having one of the worst defense in Eredivisie they fail to do goals look like they are completely out of the momentum and have no serious intention of dropping out of the top spots with now having five points gape from second spotted AZ Alkmaar mean they are losing their chance for the next season's Champions League spot because just two spots and five teams with same level are fighting hard things are no easy and performance like this never give you any chance for having good results even still have some chance.

But, they need to be having an energetic performance and change of mindset which is creating mess up like this and dropping out of the top rank in last seven matches no win mean they are completely down and out of the race.
2039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 26, 2023, 09:48:32 PM
Finally, Union Berlin reached back to 2nd standing position in Bundesliga after losing their opportunity exist on 1st standing but current standing behind 3 points left from Bayern Munich. Up coming match interested between Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt and get advantage for Union Berlin if Bayern Munich loss points.

Have benefit with Union Berlin back to the top standing awhile on up coming next match win from Hertha Berlin and another match Bayern Munich loss points from Eintracht Frankfurt. Its seems Bundesliga have been excited due fewest points left with top fourth standing, have position standing change every week depend with top fourth team standing result.
Union Berlin has a good chance to continue to be close to Bayern Munich, currently Hertha Berlin is just a team in the relegation zone. Because of that, there is no reason for Union Berlin to lose to Hertha Berlin.

What concerns me at the moment is Bayern Munich, do you think they (Bayern Munich) will get the same results as before too? Hmmm, I don't think so, even though they will be playing against Eintracht Frankfurt, but I think that Bayern Munich will get full points (3 points) in that game later.
This long break is surely having positive impact on Union Berlin because before break they were on verge of poor form and having downtrend but now after break they are back in their best with having two wins out of two matches and with these wins they are back into their second spot which is positive change for them now they are going to face Hertha Berlin which is in relegation zone hopefully they will be taken good advantage of this performance and having full three points which will help them for having good challenging fight for staying here at this spot for some more time even if they are able to keep this momentum they can stay here for long time because Bayern Munich is also on poor run and have two draws with now they are going to face Frankfurt which is one of the toughest side in this season with their aggressive approach and way of the play.
2040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 26, 2023, 08:53:23 PM
Tottenham v Manchester City might end up by a similar scenario to the one in their previous matchup. Tottenham are a quite challenging opponent for Manchester City even if Manchester City make it to the win at the end. For example in the last match between them, Tottenham got ahead by 2-0 in such a short time that it was a big shocker. Manchester City's job was really hard but they also surprised us by scoring 3 goals in around 15 minutes. If they didn't have such momentum maybe they weren't going to be able to win or even draw with them.

Here in this matchup I expect Tottenham to get ahead first once again. This is like a push for Manchester City to play a more effective attacking football. Haaland will be their main power as usual. He is on fire in the league and after making a hat-trick recently. Haaland should be able to become the winner of the duel between Kane and himself in that match.
In last match after end of the first half fans were stun how things are going into this match, but Manchester City fights back at home and have full three points mean things were completely in their control, and they were the better team but now in London Tottenham Hotspur having good record which is surely going to help them even their performance is not good in last few matches, and they can go down with this performance but most chances they will fight hard and not allow their opponent to have easy win.

Suddenly things are changing and players moral also down in Tottenham, but they need to regroup and have fight for their place which is important for them because below then top four is surely no ideal situation, and they can face consequences for this but right now they have time and quality which can bring them up again but need good combination and change of mind for having better results.
