Nope, it's not really have to be that way. A lot of celebrities are endorsing something that they don't even use or do, the reason for all that is because of money. People will be always interested on the products or services that their favorite celebrities are endorsing, but only few I guess when it comes to gambling since people are aloof when they know that it is risky thing to do.

If a casino has a budget for those highly-paid endorsements, then I think it's totally okay. As long as they don't compromise the quality and services they offered to their clients which is of great importance above all. I believe these casinos use celebrities to campaign and promote for them to have a wider reach of audience and potential customers and players in the future. Which is also beneficial to them and would be a win if the celebrity they have picked is really suitable to influence a nice population they are aiming to target.

But if these endorsements would just compromise the services they would offer, I think it wouldn't be worth it. Instead of having a good reputation and publicity, they'll just receive bad feedbacks once they mess up the things they offer to their clients. In this case, celebrity endorsements would be futile to do. Instead of getting one that would just deliberately lower down the promos and bonuses which clients want, they should instead focus on the services they would offer and let them do the talking and harboring of clients.

Yes, I agree.

Emotional management is very important, because that controls the rest of your decision making and other important factors to achieve a healthy trading lifestyle. Without it, the rest of your plan will just crumble on your hand along with your funds, so it is important to pay attention on everything on yourself before making a trade or doing a trading.

There's no such thing, unless you could read someone else's mind, even our technology can't do such thing so yeah, the answer is none. The only thing we could do is to be ready after a whale made a big move, we don't have to panic but to ride them for us to make profits, especially when you're trading in futures.

Also, whales will never gonna tell somebody of what they are gonna do next, because that will ruin their plan, obviously.

Warning people that gambling is bad for someone that is not well prepared is good, but I don't agree that all of the people is not lucky to be in the gambling industry, there are quite few individuals who are successful in life because of playing gambling. About the vulnerabilities, it can't be help since we're just humans, we don't make perfect things since we're not even perfect in the first place.

No matter how good it seems a certain gambling site is, there's gonna be a weakness or few that could be found on it's system.

I agree on your thoughts but I disagree about the timeline you put on learning how to be a good player on it. There's no age limit on being a pro, you could still spent time on it, learning all the openings and tactics you need to be able to defeat strong opponents. I've been playing chess since I was 10, but never had the chance to pursue it totally because of school.

But if someone really want to make it his career path, then age is not even an excuse.

Scalping is for impatient people, and to those people who makes decisions that fast and easy. Scalping is easy profit but don't expect too much on it, however, profit is still a profit. Day Trading is the exact opposite of scalping, big profits, even with few trades. Both could be ways for anyone to make profits, the rest will depends on the trader, whether he'll make money on it with his skills or not, simple as that.

Being a full time trader is not that easy, like you'll quit your job and decided to be a full time trader, trust me, you're not gonna make profits, you're gonna make a mess. To be a full time trader who make profits, you need time as well like you do in your job being an employee. There's no shortcut for being a successful person, but I do agree that being a full time trader has more bright future than being an employee.

FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is still the right term for this, I think. Because of your emotion that wants you not to be left out by the crowd, you bought a coin that you never even know, never done a research, you just bought it with just pure hype and ended up being disappointed because like what you've said, it dump to the earth.

The lesson is don't be afraid if you missed some opportunities in cryptocurrency, there's always a lot of opportunities that's gonna come, you just have to be patient to make profits.

Market is very unpredictable, it could go both ways, up or down, lucky if it goes sideways. It's annoying if it always goes the way you mentioned. To prevent that, maybe you need to start using technical analysis, or if you are already, maybe you need to improve your technical analysis using different indicators. It's gonna be a trial and error phase until you find the indicators that fits your trading style, so make sure you manage your trades as well.

Based on my knowledge, a casino with a lightning network runs much more smooth compared to one that isn't. The transaction fee is lowered and the speed is basically, quick. A user can instantly either deposit or withdraw his funds that he either initially deposited or won in betting.

KYC process is mandated in most casinos now due to regulations of the government, but I believe that process is just required for one time only, and not really asked repeatedly. Unless, they notice some strange activities which they found suspicious, they can ask for the verification of identity again.

This a nice move for Stake. Getting a good promoter for their casino can make a good impact. Drake is a well-known personality. He is known to be a consistent and big risk taker gambler that can risk thousands and even millions of dollar for a bet. In addition, Drake has a wide reach of audience as well. He has a lot of followers whom he can influence with with just few clicks. It is a smart move for Stake to invest for a good and reputable gambler because after all, their name is at 'stake'.

Perhaps this is the reason behind the build up of Drake for Stake before. Nonetheless, this is win-win situation for both Drake and Stake casino. They will both benefit from the partnership and the one behind who offered first would be nonsense because they'll find it useful and profit anyways.

Gambling in metaverse is a whole new level of convenience and technological advancement. I've seen many AR and VR games and even entertainment activities not totally involving betting and they're all really composed of modernity that somehow, it is scary. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea of modernization and technological innovation, but sometimes it just makes me afraid to think of the future we'll have if ever these things will be soon our reality.

Metaverse gambling could be useful and beneficial to those people who want to enjoy, be entertained, and gamble in the comfort of their homes and personal spaces. In addition, this will be cost efficient compared to going to physical casinos because you won't have to spend for gasoline or transportation fee because you can just visit the casino virtually. However, the downside could possibly be making the physical casinos feel outdated, leaving it empty because almost everyone just prefers to gamble virtually. This will massively affect the owners who runs physical casinos and the likes.

There are apps on playstore and appstore regarding chess game with either vs AI or vs other player of your choice or randomly picked. I believe there are also chess websites like that, but not exactly offering a play and bet style. Most platforms just either offer a completely play only or play-to-earn chess game. I really haven't stumbled upon a site offering play and bet at the same time. Most people just play and just put a personal bet on the side, but those are just applicable for those people who have known each other to secure the agreement.

Although I suppose it would really be fun to play and bet altogether so that there would be some sort of thrill and excitement during the game. Hopefully, you'll find an appropriate and reputable site for chess game.

This is so on point.

It is parent's duty to teach their children the advantages and disadvantages a thing might cause them. A parent should do the right parenting style in order to let their kids know the possible consequences if something is not done correctly, excessively, and in haste. I very much agree that parents should be the first to approach their child about these things before they even discover it, so that when they knew about it later on, they have the knowledge and wisdom that they need to guide them on the right path despite the possible bad effects of it.

This is just like sex education. We should instill knowledge about gambling on our children the moment they are of right age to understand things like these. Because you see, once they hit puberty, they tend to get more curious about things. Exploration without background of pros and cons could cost them great damage the moment they engage with it. So let's start it in our home to let them understand so they won't fall into the pit of their damnation once they turn adults.

This is just so low for a president. To utter such words and to even make it into actions is just pure absurd. This just shows how incompetent he is in terms of leading and when it comes to the economy such as business matters. If he will continue to act like this, most probably the western countries will be turn off with his attitude. Exhibiting such behavior is just manipulative. The moment the western investors come into their senses, probably they will just pull out instead of staying.

This will do no good to Russia's economy. Instead of betterment, they will have nothing in their side once investors lose interest on them. I just hope it won't really go that far because Russian citizens are also affected by their president's acts of incompetency and aggresiveness.

This is what I'm talking about. Before we make haste decisions about boycotting casinos run by a Russian, we must think twice or even ten times before doing so. Because committing such and participating in that kind of event also harms those people who are innocent. As you can see, not everyone is in favor of what Putin is doing. They are just victims as well of a harsh, aggressive, violent, Putin who is only after his own satisfaction, not thinking about what his constituents will feel about his decisions. Putin obviously lacks empathy which I believe most Russians have, because Russians have been protesting and voicing out their opinions and showing their stance about the war despite how negatively it could cost them later on.

Let's not let our emotions overpower our minds. We should not be swayed by hatred just like Putin and instead do our part in any way that we can to help both parties to overcome this. Both Ukrainians and Russians are a victim of an unempathethic leader and we should not be like him. Most of these casinos didn't do anything wrong. Aside from some who are just basically trash, let's spare them some mercy.

I agree with you.

Those people who are trusting into Bitcoin's capability now despite its price fluctuations over the past months will definitely reap the fruit of their patience and trust in the following years. Bitcoin has been competitive and really moving in aggressive manner over the years. No doubt, it will fluorish even more after some time.

Holders of bitcoin will profit maybe not now, but after a while. Long term investors shouldn't worry much and just patiently wait until its price satisfies them. Personally, I believe that we can really take into our advantage bitcoin's volatility despite it being off to some. But still, it's recommended to have other streams of income and not just rely on one, so while waiting for the massive pump, let's have something to look after to.

As much as you want to totally transition from fiat system to cryptocurrency, there are still a lot of things to consider. Not everyone is ready for this conversation since not all of us are capable of doing so. In addition, fiat and crypto exist for a reason. These two are completely different from each other and has their very own purposes to take care of. If you can abandon fiat for good, then good for you. But unfortunately, other people can't do the same thing instantly as much as they want.

It's good to have crypto as an alternative option aside from fiat. If things go haywire in fiat system, you can just switch to crypto because you have a back up. In case sanctions happen, you can freely use your assets because it won't frozen by central organization. However, this has its advantages and disadvantages. If someone is to switch completely and ditch fiat, he must be aware and should welcome the risks that come along with it such as price fluctuations. You see, living in crypto isn't going to be rainbows and sunshines because it is volatile. Some days you will have so much, and there would be days you could have so much less compared to the amount you originally owned. In addition, transaction fees and processing fees are not really much consistent. And not every establishments really openly accepts crypto payment methods.

Someone must weigh the pros and cons before doing so. Otherwise, he might just regret it. After all, i still believe that fiat and crypto can coexist. There shouldn't even be a competition actually against each other because each serves their own purpose to their target market.

Bitcoin's price has been fluctuating prior the Russia-Ukraine war. Somehow, bitcoin is impacted by it due to perhaps panic, but I believe it will eventually bounce back like it always does. Right now, what is really alarming is the oil price hike due to the conflict. The price of oil is largely affected since Russia supplies oil in most countries.

This is the ugly repercussion of a war especially if a country involved is the one who exports goods. Since Russia is sanctioned, they have said it in news even before that if that will continue, the price of oil will rise up so much. And true to their words, indeed, the price of oil is massively increasing as time passes by.

Here in our country, the price of oil almost hit twice its original price before the war. And maybe in the next few weeks it would even exceed the twice original price and hit triple. It's frustrating most especially to the working class because whenever oil price moves, everything follows. Transportation fees, price of goods such as raw materials and processed ones. Hopefully, the war will be over soon and everything will come to normal. It's just so hard to live nowadays because everything goes up, except the wage.
