1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: August 22, 2023, 11:42:56 PM
In most cases, if the star players can play full time, I believe it really bring impacts on the match. The star players boost the motivation of the whole squad, so they can play with their best form. It also becomes a challenge for the opposite team because some players will be ordered to restrict/limit the star players' movement. So, it can be the advantage for the team who has the star players, there will be many open spaces for attacks. This actually improves the chance to win. Moreover, the star players can make a difference in the match because they know well how to score or deliver assists.

However, it doesn't always applies as expected. We must see in some matches, the star players can't contribute anything. For example Ronaldo. Although Ronaldo can lead Al Nassr to win Saudi club champions cup but he failed to give Al Nassr winning in some SPL matches. That's the fact that star players don't always bring positive impacts.

So, if we want to place a bet for a team which has star players, we must learn first how the current performance of the star players.

1502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 22, 2023, 11:12:14 PM
Yes, if they gamble and they lose that is not your responsibility nor your accountability.
Sure, if there is a gambler who follows our bet, it is not our responsibility when it end up with a lose. As long as we don't invite them, they can't blame us. Everyone gambles with their own intention and with their own responsibility. It is strange if someone blames us because he gets a lose by following us. He mustn't gamble if he doesn't want to lose.  Grin

Every gambler I think has their own belief and their own thing about this thing , some have their myths some have their own lucky charms
Indeed. Any gambler can have their own belief. But it is untrue if a gambler blames other people because of the wrong belief. Wins or lose won't depend on the belief, it is all about the luck. So, every gambler can trust their own belief but never try to blame others. I really hate the gamblers who blame other with nonsense reasons.

the thing is they just need to enjoy the game nothing else, they dont need to follow other people's tips and tricks or other people advices.
Yes, the main purpose is to get entertainment, don't forget to have fun. We must trust our own way in gambling, we don't need to follow other gamblers' ways. No guarantee that those tips/tricks will work with us. Since it is mostly luck-based games, we must believe our own luck laying on our own way.

1503  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies say no to Trading. on: August 21, 2023, 11:59:28 PM
I believe that beginners can also trade cryptocurrencies on exchanges and do it successfully. I have read a lot of messages from newcomers, and among them there are so knowledgeable and literate that they surpass many users with the rank of legendary in understanding cryptocurrencies.
It is because not every newbie in this forum is a beginner in crypto. A few of newbie accounts may be experienced people, they just joined this forum but they already invested or traded crypto for a long time. So, we don't underestimate newbie account, not every newbie means a beginner in crypto.

But I understand why it's better for them not to do this - the fact is that beginners are bad at controlling themselves, they want everything at once. And in any case, it is important to have your own experience, and a negative experience in the cryptocurrency market threatens to lose the deposit. Therefore, it is better for beginners to start with demo accounts, or very small deposit amounts.
For a real beginner, I agree that they need to focus on learning and get some experience first. Trading isn't something easy, it is a complex and complicated matter. If someone has a lack of knowledge and experience, it will be hard to deal with the volatility in the market. Building a proper mentality as a trader is also a serious matter. Without a strong mentality, someone will be easy to panic and think unrealistically. It should take time to master all this aspects, so beginners don't hurry to trade directly.

Sure, it should be started with small funds or using a demo account first. The focus is to learn and get experience, not to gain profits as much as possible.

1504  Economy / Economics / Re: Bad economic situation makes bitcoins more difficult to keep. on: August 21, 2023, 11:46:20 PM
I was having a conversation with a friend, and we talked about how difficult the economy is and how it can disrupt someone's plan to hold their bitcoins without tampering with it.
I agree that the condition of economy in a country, possibly ruins the plan for holding the Bitcoin a long time. I've experienced it, the economy in my country is getting worse and the prices of all goods are increasing a lot. My job salary and my savings are no longer enough to deal with the situation. So, I have no choice, I must sell some of my Bitcoin. Since it is an urgent need, I don't care whether it is a bearish (red market) or bullish (green market). This really brings a serious impact to my plan, it reduces almost 50% of my Bitcoin asset.

Holding your bitcoins has a lot to do with discipline truly, but discipline is harder to practice when you are being suffocated and suffering financially with plenty bills and responsibility to respond to. People in countries with better economy, where there are good jobs and businesses are working, Bitcoins will easier hold than for people who are in places with terrible economic situation.
Discipline is a must but it can be applied on the normal condition. But if we needs urgent money and we have no choice, selling our Bitcoin is the only option left. With the deteriorating economic status in various parts of the world, there are many people suffering their financial. It includes the Bitcoin holders. Those who struggle in their financial stability, probably difficult to keep their Bitcoin. While for Bitcoin holders who have no problem with their financial stability, must be easy to keep holding their Bitcoin. It is the fact that happening nowadays, only Bitcoin holders with strong financial level who can survive and won't be influenced by economic issues in a country.

1505  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: August 21, 2023, 11:27:14 PM
would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?
Both are difficult to earn money. Both gambling and future trading rely on the luck to succeed. So, I prefer spot trading if my main goal is for earning money. It will be different if I want to get entertainment or take challenges while earning money. In this matter, I can choose gambling or future trading. TBH, it is always hard to earn money if we mostly only rely on the luck.

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?
Both gambling and future trading are risky, even spot trading is also risky. None can guarantee for profits (earning money). It depends on our luck, knowledge, and experience. But I think gambling is easier if it is about how to play it, it even doesn't need specific learning. While trading is more complicated, we need to understand market nature and proper strategies to use. We also need to analyze the coins that we want to trade on the market.

1506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: August 21, 2023, 10:52:25 PM
This board has a lot of topic that comprises with the negativity about gambling addiction.
I think it is not showing the negativity of casinos, it is just a warning for the gamblers to gamble in a proper way. Those topics discussing about the potential of addiction, don't against casinos. If people gamble in a proper way and they are not addicted, we can assume that the popularity of gambling will be better. So far, addiction becomes one of the worse issue on gambling. So, we need to give an education to gamblers to avoid the addiction.

Gambling is important to the society because it provides huge taxes that government use on hospitals, infrastructure and other projects to help its citizens.
I am not sure if the taxes from gambling will fully allocate to  infrastructure, hospitals, or any other social projects. In some cases, the use of taxes is unclear whether it is used for helping citizens or not. So, if the advantage is for increasing the taxes, I assume it just takes the advantage for the government.

What is the advantage for the citizens?
I think the advantage is very clear, it is the basic purpose of casinos:
1. Give the entertainment for citizens
2. Give the chance for citizens to gain instant money

1507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why we need to buy meme coin? on: August 20, 2023, 11:57:16 PM
Because
Sleep dreams that the tendency to suddenly become rich Cry
People sometimes make an unrealistic hope. They think meme coins can make them to be rich suddenly, but they are not aware that meme coins are riskier. If people understand how meme coins work, they don't dream something impossible with meme coins. Buying meme coins are almost the same as gambling with crypto coins. It is because meme coins have no clear fundamentals to improve its price in the future, they only rely on the hype. If the developers can maintain the hype a long time, people who invest in meme coins have the chance to take good profits. But if the hype disappear very soon, no chance to take profits on the new meme coins.

This is not really normal because meme coin is more dangerous in this crypto market. They always collect money from investors by showing amazing attractive offers.
Basically, all altcoins are risky, we must know that investing in crypto coin is a high risk. So, whatever the coin is, it is always a high risk. But I agree that meme coins have a higher risk, it is because they have no clear future. How we can expect its future if it has no fundamentals? In reality, altcoins with strong fundamentals can fail, even worse the meme coins with have no fundamentals/weak fundamentals.

1508  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can everyone in the world have bitcoin. on: August 20, 2023, 11:42:22 PM
I know that the reason why we need to tell people about bitcoin is to spread the awareness of bitcoin,so that more people will adopt bitcoin so that it can be recognised and use by everyone just the way fiat is used.
The problem that not all people can own Bitcoin legally because some countries in the world ban Bitcoin. Although the people in that countries have the ability to own Bitcoin, they own it illegally and they will face many limitations to use it. So, even if many people can help to spread the awareness to the people around the world, the regulation prohibiting Bitcoin in several countries still become the big obstacle. In this matter, it is impossible for each person in the world to own Bitcoin legally. No one wants to get caught for an illegal activity.

Is it that these 21million bitcoin will be enought to serve the world with a total population of 8.1 billion because I know that we have whales who will buy a huge amount of bitcoin and just store it in their wallet without using it,just the way the rich men and politicians keep so much funds in their account or at home without spending it.
You must understand that buying Bitcoin doesn't mean buying 1 BTC, we can buy 0,xxxx of Bitcoin. So, even if there are whales to collect Bitcoin and just keep it on their wallets, there are still enough Bitcoin to buy by people. The whales activity that never spending the Bitcoin, triggers the Bitcoin price to have a more expensive value. It is because the total circulating supply is getting smaller. So, I think it doesn't harm the future of Bitcoin, it even supports Bitcoin to constantly growing its price.

1509  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: August 20, 2023, 11:24:48 PM
so long you are not harming or bothering anyone, they don't have the business to know what you're doing. unless, you have a lot of debts and your family is directly bothered by these lenders, then maybe time to re-think your choices here.
but as much as possible, better keep your gambling activities to yourself. at least you have your peace of mind that no one is badgering you about your habit. even if they are not affected by it
Indeed. No one can force us to tell our habits, including our gambling habit. So, it is not a must to tell people, we have the right to keep it in a secret. We know that telling others about our gambling habit probably brings negative impacts only. Moreover, if we live in religious society, they are likely to judge us negatively. So, the best choice is to keep our gambling activity privately.

Debt is also a serious case, it is surely to give bad impact to our family. It is a must tell our family if we are in debt, they deserve to know it. If we are difficult to repay, we probably get a help to our family. It is actually the same as gambling habit, it is no problem to tell our family but we shouldn't to tell other people (random people, outside of our family). We must be wise to tell something the the right people!

1510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 19, 2023, 11:48:03 PM
  • Waking up early morning to play gambling without eating any breakfast
This never improved the chance to win. If you gamble without breakfast and you feel hungry, how can you focus on the game? I always do something realistically although I am experiencing something very badly, like getting a big loss. This is why a gambler needs to have a good self control. When he experiences a worse day (got many losses), he won't feel frustrated and ignore his healthy to chase winnings.

  • When I already on adrenaline mode after losing more than 50% of my bankroll and start chasing losses using huge bets.
Chasing winning won't be a good idea although we are in a good mood. People probably end up with huge losses because of this way. Although we bet with bigger funds, it won't increase the chance to win. Especially when we play a luck-based games, nothing to give a very significant impact unless the luck itself.  Grin

1512  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading tips that helpfull for beginners on: August 18, 2023, 11:59:22 PM
Of course, in everything we do, we have to learn it first, as well as in trading, there are many things that need to be learned before doing it, but what you have to remember is that crypto trading has a very big risk, even though it's worth it with the possibilities, it's not a solution.
Both trading and investment requires serious learning. That's why the beginners shouldn't' hurry to spend money for crypto coins.
Learning becomes more important in crypto because it has a high risk and unpredictable. People with lack knowledge will have a big chance to lose money, it is because they probably feel panic and take a decision without good understanding about the problem/case.

for people who are in economic difficulties, trading makes it possible to further exacerbate the situation.
Do you mean people who has a problem with financial, he/she doesn't deserve to trade crypto?
I think everyone can trade crypto as long as he/she has good knowledge and use the amount of money they afford to lose. Trading shouldn't exacerbate the problem of financial if someone can trade properly. But surely that we can't rely on trading to solve the financial problem. There should be more efforts to have other jobs. Trading can't guarantee to give regular/constant profits daily. So, we still need other jobs that can offer regular income.

1513  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Be Decisive with Your Coin on: August 18, 2023, 11:43:06 PM
Before you invest in a crypto coin, you must know well the coin deeply. So, you won't experience a hasty decision on the coin without know well the potential of the coin for the future. It is quite strange that someone invests in a coin but he don't know well the coin is. Sure, to know the coin well, we must take a deep research and it can be done only if we have good knowledge about crypto. That's why we often see the people's suggestion that everyone who wants to begin crypto investment/trading, they must learn a lot first. Knowledge is the key besides having good mentality.

I also experienced taking the wrong decision on my coins. Most of them are caused by being greedy and lack of knowledge. Once again, knowledge has a very important role. And we must avoid greedy as well, this attitude really impacts badly. I lost quite a lot a few years ago because of greedy, it was a very sad experience that become a very big lesson for me.

1514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you will do? on: August 17, 2023, 11:58:59 PM
Everyone must have experienced loss, whether it's a big or small loss. And he experienced loss more often than he won. Has anyone ever experienced boredom playing gambling because they have been losing more often than winning? If anyone has experienced this, what did you do?
It is impossible to avoid losses. Someone must experience more losses than wins. If every gambler experiences more wins than losses, then no casino will survive due to bankruptcy.  Grin

I agree that we are better to stop temporarily and take a break if we feel bored. It is not a wise decision to continue gambling with a bad mood. When we are in a good mood, we even are still difficult to win. Even worse, it is in a bad mood. Instead of winning the gambling games, we may lose all the money because we can't control our emotion.

Just gamble when we are in a good mood! We play gambling to have a fun, we don't play it to worse our life.   Wink

1515  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: August 17, 2023, 11:41:25 PM
Thats true, whatever the scenario we should keep things informed with wife. None is sure of what happens the next minute and we all are dependents. When we're sad and if someone is there to hear our difficulty, it'll be so good and makes us come out of the difficulty at the earliest. Same is with gambling, whenever we loss our mind used to think badly and sometimes even to end life. At such situation sharing with wife or the close ones will give the solution and consolation. This could change our mind and stay positive and lets us to have control.
Agree. A wife deserves to know whatever experiencing by the husband. It includes gambling habits, a wife should know it very well. Not every time a gambler can control his emotion, sometimes the games can trigger a gambler to spend over budget. It will be worse if a gambler feels disappointed with the result, then he tries to catches the losses. If a wife doesn't know this, the gambler can be addicted or end up with losing all money. A wife can remind his husband that playing gambling is for fun only, don't waste time to catch unrealistic goal on it. I believe only a close person like a husband or parents that can help a gambler in a bad situation. In a certain situation, a gambler can be difficult to fix a problem himself. So, he needs someone who knows him well.

1516  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Time for bounties and airdrops as we near bull season on: August 15, 2023, 11:55:02 PM
Bounties used to be a good source of income during the last bull hoping for the same next bull run.
We are talking about the current condition of bounties or airdrop, we aren't discussing the bounties on the last bullrun season.  Roll Eyes

Personally i have been participate many airdrop in this year even i found this airdrop from twitter but still now i have no received any token from any airdrop. Really i want forget this items from crypto life and i have been start to participate some bounty programme. Bounty is confirmed token because some good manager manage escrow service.
If airdrops didn't work well, just leave it and move to another one. You can start working on bounties, or you focus on signature campaign. You also can join any contest on Service board, the prizes are quite good if you won it. TBH, I also never joined any airdrop for a long time. I never got lucky on airdrops, that's why I leaved it and never tried it anymore.

1517  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is bitcoin really not for everyone? on: August 15, 2023, 11:41:36 PM
There's no discrimination to own Bitcoin.

You can buy Bitcoin regardless the color of your skin, your race, your religion, the law in your country, your financial status etc, as long as you have money to buy Bitcoin, it's always possible. It might be harder if your country ban Bitcoin, but there's P2P and decentralized exchange that can help you.
Exactly, each person has the right to own Bitcoin. But there is a country that forbid/ban crypto and Bitcoin, so people who live on the country can't own Bitcoin. In this matter, the possibility of someone who wants to own Bitcoin, depends on where he/she lives as well. So, it is not only about the money, the legality of the crypto/Bitcoin on a country also has a crucial role. Although you have a lot of money, you can't buy Bitcoin if it is not allowed in your country. You can force buying it on DEX, but the government probably confiscate your Bitcoin if they know it.

I know crypto is a decentralization space. However, it is not something impossible to track someone's assets. The government always improves their capability to track people's activity related to crypto space. It is too risky investing in something which is prohibited by the government.


1518  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 13, 2023, 11:57:52 PM
Breaking news:
Kylian Mbappe has opened the door to extension.
According to French media, Kylian Mbappe has now agreed to extend his contract at PSG. The French international star Kylian Mbappe has changed his mind about a contract extension due to the upcoming departure of Neymar. Kylian Mbappe's contract will expire in 2024, but he has refused to extend it and is trying to move towards Real Madrid. But now he has changed his mind and wants to stay at PSG. On the other hand, PSG has signed 26-year-old Osman Dembele for €50 million from Barcelona. So maybe these were the two reasons that changed Kylian Mbappe's mind about staying in Paris. 
I think the media only speculated about it. No official statement from Mbappe that stated to consider the contract extension. As long as I know, Mbappe is clearly to leave PSG. He is even rumored already got a personal agreement with Real Madrid. The problem is only about the transfer fees, PSG doesn't accept the offer from Real Madrid. So, Real Madrid decided to stop negotiating and wait for the end of Mbappe's contract.

The arrival of Dembele won't easily change Mbappe's mind. If he really extends his contract, his situation will be more complicated. I'm very sure Mbappe will lose the chance to join Real Madrid if he extends his contract with PSG. I assume PSG will set a higher minimum transfer fees for Mbappe when Mbappe gets a new contract extension.

The good thing about keeping ones gambling habbit a secret is that whenever the said gambler happens to win big winnings, no body would know about it
Indeed. No one knows when we won a big prize or we lose a big money.
If people know it, sometimes they may take a loans with us suddenly. Or be obsessed to do the same thing. If they don't have good knowledge about gambling, it may trigger him to addiction or losing huge money. They may blame us because they are inspired by our winnings.  Grin

But the bad side of it is that if the person happens to be gambling addict who tends not to control himself about gambling, he'll rarely stop the addict because of the fact that closed friends and relatives who were supposed to call him to order are ignorant of the fact that the said person is a gambler
I think we don't need to keep a secret about gambling to our family (especially to the wife). We only don't need to tell our gambling habits to other people such as neighborhood and friends. Sure, our family need to know it because they can help us if there is something bad to happen with us. For example, if we looks to be addicted in gambling. Our family can remind us to stop it if they see somethings badly with our gambling habits.

1520  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the market still profitable for new projects? on: August 11, 2023, 11:00:02 PM
I think it is still okay, there are some investors who only looking for new project so they can have chance to earn profit. I saw many dead coin in local exchange, that only matter of time the price of it become zero. the competition is getting tighter so the quality should be higher so those new project can get more investors.
If they are experienced investors, it is no problem to invest in new random projects. They know well how to take profits from the projects because they must already have enough experience. But for common investors or new investors, they are better to avoid to invest in new projects. Finding good new projects are difficult now, most of them just survive in a short time. It is not only about the competition, but the quality of new projects are decreasing. Many of them have weak fundamentals and have no clear future. We must be more careful to choose the new projects nowadays.
