Re: What is your point of no return?
by
Eternad
on 25/07/2025, 23:59:43 UTC
As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?

a. at least double your money, then stop
b. you only stop when you have lost all your bankroll money and then blame the casino?
c. or you are a superstitions gambler, when you have signs like losing 3 straight in a row, then you quit because you know that you're having a bad luck
d. you stop when you are at least break even

I didn't include chasing your losses as obviously you might to continue.

I stop when option A and B happens to me. Though for option B, I don't blame the casino after I lose my bankroll. Doubling my capital rarely happens for me when gambling so if I have the chance to achieve it, I withdraw immediately to safeguard my winnings.

While stopping when your capital has run out in gambling should be a normal discipline to any gambler. It's important we hace that rule to prevent us lose more in gambling.

Re: Is it still gambling if you're sure you're going to win?

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?

The result is not 100% guaranteed so it is still gambling. As long as you put your luck on is considered gambling for me. Anything can happen in gambling, and that 10% chance to lose is still possible if you get unlucky.

It's best to not bet big amount just because you feel confident. If you do bet huge amount then lose, it might make you to gamble more wanting to recover that loss.

Re: Is it wrong to take a temporary break from gambling?
by
Eternad
on 25/07/2025, 22:41:01 UTC
So I am wondering if I should try my luck again after a win, or should I still take a break?

This may seem like a simple question, but strangely enough it always bothers my mind every time or rather every day. So I hope to receive opinions or even suggestions from you, especially from people who have experienced the same thing before.

There is nothing wrong if you will try your luck again as long as the capital or bankroll you will use is not from your previous winnings.

Just set a limit for your next gambling session and have the same discipline as your previous plays so you can take home some profit if you manage to win again.

Taking a break won't help if you have the urge to gamble again. Just always remember that bet responsibly.

Re: Bitcoin still number 1

There is Bitcoin & everything else is a shitcoin. Sure you can make big fiat gains in Altcoins if you’re lucky but none of them have the longevity, decentralization & proof of work like Bitcoin. I wouldn’t park a big portion of my net worth in any Altcoin long term. Short teem is fine but not long term.

Bitcoin is proven to survive many bear market and still continue to make a new high every bull cycly so holding it is better than altcoin.

While altcoin can give higher profit in terms of percentage, holding it for long term doesn't guarantee you profit but instead carries a higher risk because you are not sure if they will pump again after bear market.

In the end, bitcoin will always be the best cryptocurrency to hold.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?

A friend of mine just got into Bitcoin, lucky for him, his successful. Before he started Bitcoin, he was actually into a good business of selling artwork which wasn't so bad. So he got introduced to Bitcoin and had a quick success. It's actually a good and exciting thing to see someone progress fast like that, but he quit selling artworks and other little businesses that kept him going he stopped, he now depends fully on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king no doubt, but From my Point of view I think that depending fully on it might be risky to you financially. I don't recommend anyone to depend solely on Bitcoin or any single asset. Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and market volatility might impact your financial stability. It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset. The part that scares me the most is that my friend has put all his resources into this one asset. If am wrong please correct me. Thanks

If it's only about cryptocurrencies, investing only to bitcoin is a good choice rather than investing or diversifying it to some altcoins. I've been into crypto many years now and bought some altcoins before but I loss money from it since they didn't pump on previous bull cycle.

Holding only bitcoin is good for crypto investment is good since it's already proven that its value increases over the years after many huge correction that happened.

Of course, outside of crypto, investing to other asset like gold or real estate is also a good choice since their value appreciates over time.

Re: How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?
by
Eternad
on 24/07/2025, 15:15:48 UTC
But people generally do not play for research purposes. People just place bets more or less randomly, lose money and claim that they enjoy it. Is this stupidity or deceit? Maybe such people like the atmosphere of the game? But then why not play free games? But no, gamblers rarely play free games?

Happiness is priceless. People gamble and lose money from it but the thrill and enjoyment they get can't be replaced by other activities that others do.

It's the same as other hobbies where some may seen as a waste of money. Each of us has that hobby that we are willing to spend money in exchange for pleasure.

What's important is you spend responsibly in a way that it doesn't compromise your life and personal responsibilities.

Re: Which is more regrettable?
by
Eternad
on 24/07/2025, 13:07:24 UTC
Let's say when gambling, you follow a specific pattern. Let us use lottery for example. You bet on the same specific set of numbers. What would be more regrettable? Betting on the same set of numbers for the rest of your life and not winning or... changing up the set you bet on only for your old set to win?

Basically, would you rather bet on the same thing again and again then regret not exploring more or explore different kinds of bets then miss out on a win?

If it's about betting on a lottery, I would bet a number repeatedly until it wins but not all of course. For example, the lottery requires six numbers to enter and I will always put 21 and 9 on my bet.

It's some kind of superstition in our country where if you bet the same number repeatedly, you will eventually won from it and will bring you luck. Old people even say that it's like you're raising it like a child everytime you bet on it.

In the end, it's all about luck especially in the lottery. It doesn't matter if you bet on random numbers or stick to a specific pattern if fortune is not in your favor.

Re: The "Lottery Ticket" Mentality
by
Eternad
on 24/07/2025, 11:54:13 UTC
As a gambler, have you ever felt this kind of mentality? That is, let's say in sports betting, wherein you bet on the long shot or a huge underdog but at the back of your mind, you thought that you will not win, but there is still small hope inside of you that this could be a life changing and so you go and bet with your close eyes. And this could be just you are relying on your luck and nothing more and that it could also be bad for us gamblers in the long run. But then again, we love to take risk and so maybe there will be some of us who might be already have this in mind as a kind of "strategy" and they could have won money already. Are you that type of gambler that has kind of mentality? It could be that is obviously flawed in the beginning so there could be gamblers that are now willing, or maybe as I have said, we might have been using it already but we just didn't know.

I do this style of betting but not always. Betting on the underdog is really like betting on a lottery so whenever I do it, I don't expect for any returns.

It's dangerous to always have that mindset in gambling and you're surely bound to lose money if you will only rely on your luck. I know we should not take gambling seriously but having a strategy could at least help us to reduce our loss.

Re: What Does "Being Rich" Even Mean Anymore?
by
Eternad
on 23/07/2025, 06:35:04 UTC
If you could choose, would you want more money, more time, or more trust in people?

I would pick to have more time and trust in people. Rich is subjective to every person. One defines rich when he have huge enough of money and on who is contented and happy with his life.

I belong to the second group. I am not rich but I can say that I am happy with my current state of life. I am able to live comfortably, sleep peacefully, and able to travel at certain occasions like holiday or birthday. Wanting to have more money means bigger responsibility.

There are rich people who can already do anything with the wealth they got but still are not happy. Whether you're rich or not, the important here is you learn to appreciate what you have how big or small it is.

Re: One click away: Philippines grapples with online gambling boom – and doom
by
Eternad
on 23/07/2025, 05:09:02 UTC
Seeing this street gambling advertisement will attract more gamblers and many students will come along, so I think it is at least tragic because this advertisement is enough to destroy not only families but the entire nation. How terrible do you think this advertisement and gambling are, how reasonable do you think it is if such a gambling advertisement is in front of your house/under the open roof
From a personal perspective, gambling and gambling advertisements aren't always bad. All gambling activities are our own responsibility, whether we choose to gamble or not. In countries where gambling is legal, taxes are used to generate state revenue. I believe that establishing a gambling business in that country also has a positive side, creating jobs for the local community. So, none of this is wrong, and it's up to the public to decide whether they will gamble or not. If they gamble and end up losing all their money and valuables, it's not the fault of the advertising or gambling, but rather the individual's inability to control themselves.

This is just a positive perspective, in my opinion.

Gambling business is really helpful in the economy of a country in that way but the problem is the widespread of advertisments that can be seen anywhere which is inappropriate.

Cases of minor who got into gambling in the Philippines is growing and that is what lawmakers want to prevent. I agree that it's up to the person if he will gamble or not but those advertisments adds to the factor that influence for many to gamble. Even those who only earns enough to survive try their luck on gambling.

If those advertisements will be removed then at least few people will get tempted to gamble.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.
by
Eternad
on 22/07/2025, 23:59:54 UTC
As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?

Is there a parent that will allow his child to pass KYC verification for the purpose to gamble. I don't think any parent will knowingly allow it as it will also put their identity at risk.

A caring parent will never support underage gambling or even allow his child to learn it. Children at their young age tend to make more reckless decision than those who are adults already. They are more prone to gambling addiction so as a parent, it's up to us to guide them to not get into gambling.

Re: Does the novelty wear off?
by

on 22/07/2025, 23:05:16 UTC
If you are extremely rich and you can just gamble up to your heart's content, does the novelty of winning wear off? Like would you get tired of gambling since there's really not much risks because you can gamble with any amount and still receive little to no consequences?

I don't think it will wear off. Rich people still gamble because for profit or money. They are rich meaning they can bet more money than what a casual gambler do. High stakes means higher winnings so it would still be enjoyable for a rich person betting a huge amount.

I haven't seen a rich person gamble with a penny. That would be boring for them and make them feel sleepy when gambling. It's the same for us where gambling is not enjoyable if we bet an amount that is too small.

Re: Is KuCoin a scam? Destructive reviews on trustpilot
by

on 21/07/2025, 13:41:36 UTC
But if you ask me I personally use KuCoin but I didn't face any issue. They have high withdraw fee and minimum deposit threshold just due to this I rarely use KuCoin.

I have a Kucoin account also and I can say they are one of the centralized exchanges that I trust. I once had a deposit issue so I contacted their customer support immediately. I didn't have to wait many hours to get a response and their reply was clear from my query.

Review sites like Trustpilot can't be reliable and sometimes the review are being made to destroy the reputation of a particular platform. It's better to check them yourself to see if the reviews are true or not.

I’m madami tlaga mabibiktima na mga pinoy sa mga technology na ito dahil almost real talaga yung video kung wala kang idea sa Deepfake at sa mga scam techniques online.

Karamihan sa mapapaniwala nito mga matatanda na di alam suriin kung peke or totoo ba talaga yung video. Kahit yung tatay ko din napaniwala sa isang fake herbal medicine video kuno na endorsed by Doc Wilie Ong last year.

Ngayon naman nakikita ko ang mga deepfake video sa promotion ng online gamblling sites. May nakita pa ako na mismong presidente natin ang ginamit sa deepfake video para hikayatin magsugal ang mga Pilipino.

Technology can be helpful and dangerous at the same time kaya dapat maging mapanuri at di tayo agad basta-basta magpaniwala sa nakikita natin sa internet at mas maigi na i-fact check muna para malaman kung totoo ba o hindi ang isang post.

Re: Palitan ang maling expectation sa Trading
by
Eternad
on 21/07/2025, 00:02:13 UTC
Share ko nalang din yung narinig ko during sa isang event about crypto, nadiscuss ng speaker yung importance ng pag seset ng realistic and idealistic goals para mas manage natin yung expectation and execution ng mga moves natin sa trading. Mas makakatulong ito para hindi ka mawala sa focus kahit na talo or panalo and mas mamotivate na magpatuloy kahit na baguhan palang sa trading. Hindi kasi maiwasan na mahaluan ng emotions sa trading and for me isa yun sa malaking factor na dapat maaddress to manage expectations.
This is true, lalo na sa mga new traders dahil marami sa mga kakilala ko na new traders ay nagbabaka sakali sa trading at magiinvest ng pera, tapos makikita nila na pulado kaya talagang sumisipa yung emosyon nila at nasisira yung strategy. One thing I tell sa mga kakilala ko na nagtatrade, one ma analyze nila yung market and nakapag set sila ng stop-loss and take-profit, mag offline muna or wag tignan ang market, hayaan na kung ano ang mauna sa dalawa which nag work saakin.

Dati pag nakita kong mga -5% to -10% na, automatic market stop na yon pero nung nag stick ako sa stop-loss ko and take profit mas nagiging profitable ako sa mga positions ko.
Ito yung pinakamalaking misconception sa trading, at kasalanan din ito ng mga ibang tao na nag popromote ng trading para lang maka invite at magka referral. Like kala nila pag trader ka eh mapera ka na at easy money na kaya madaming mga bagohan na di tumatagal after ilang trades pa lang at nauubos ang pera agad.

May iba kasi na nagpopromote lang ng trading platform pero wala naman talaga alam sa trading while may iba naman na maalam talaga sa trading at sinasabi sa mga followers nito na wag basta-basta susubok sa trading kung wals sapat na knowledge.

Same sa concept ng local online casino satin, may mga small trading platforms na naghi-hire ng influencers para gumawa ng video at ipromote website nila. Nakakita na din ako minsan ng ads na yun at pinapakita dun na konting minuto lang pwede ka na kumita ng pera. Since ang mga hinahire nila na influencers ay mga kilala din, marami ang nahihikayat magtrade sa pag-aakala na madali lang. Tapos ang ending malalagas lang pera nila at akala nila ang trading ay pagsusugal din.

Re: Trading business vs. gambling business in crypto

People looked up on trading as something that is hard to comprehend whereas anyone can understand to gamble online even if you just registered because instruction is so easy, its fun to bet than to check the graphs and datas.

Trading is never ending cycle of learning where you always need to study charts, candlesticks, and analyze how the market moves. It can be boring for anyone and also much stressful if you will compare it to gambling.

While gambling on the other hand is interactive where a person can have fun while doing it. It's like playing a video game then studying at school is trading. Gambling is more preferred by the common people since you don't need to acquire deep knowledge to earn.

Re: When you're winning you can't sleep
by
Eternad
on 20/07/2025, 17:08:12 UTC
I have seen one interview of a former gambler and what he is saying caught my attention. He says that "when you're winning you can't sleep". I'm not sure if others have experience it or if this make sense. In any case though, one explanation is that we are really in a heightened alert, meaning it's like gambling is like a drugs that keeps up alive and awake and then the human emotions of greed takes in as we want to win for. But the problem is that after that, and in worse case if our luck turns bad, then this drug will like shoot to 100->0 in a instant. Or like when we are about to go to bed and suddenly that inch comes along and let's say that we go on sports bet, but the game will start in the next couple of hours, then we might have difficulty in sleeping and as if we take like 4 cups of coffee or a energy drink because we will for sure can't wait to see that game and hope that our stakes is going to win.

What you're experiencing is dopamine rush. This also happens to me when I'm gambling at night and I'm having win streaks. After I quit after being wise with my winnings, it's difficult to go sleep properly because there is a strong urge in the back of your mind to gamble more.

My solution to this is I avoid to gamble exactly before I sleep. After I play, I distract my mind to to forget the excitement by doing other activities such as watching an episode of tv series or scroll on social media. After that only I will go to bed.

Gambling triggers a dopamine rush in the brain, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. This release is particularly strong during the anticipation of a win, even if the bet is ultimately lost. This surge of dopamine reinforces the behavior, leading some individuals to develop a compulsive need to gamble.

Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19
by
Eternad
on 20/07/2025, 14:28:05 UTC
For someone who was retired for several years and only had months to train, Pacquiao gave a great show. To be honest, I didn't expect it to be a draw, I thought it would either be a win or a loss for Pacquiao (I already saw people saying Pacquiao won the fight tho ahaha). Also, you can see in this fight how age has caught up to Pacquiao.

Pacquiao wasn’t so dominant, but it was clear he was ahead on the scorecards that he landed the cleaner and heavier shots on Barrios. Still, a draw is fine I guess. It just means Pacman’s effort wasn’t enough to take the belt this time. In the rematch, which Barrios already said he’s open to, I hope Manny goes all out from start to finish. Now that he’s no longer busy with politics, he can really focus on the fight.

He was ahead on at least two or three major article sites by two or three points. This is a robbery, but I’m glad that Pacquiao was not hurt, and he earned a whopping 1.8 billion pesos, which is equivalent to the dollar amount he earned from PPV and guaranteed income.
Mario Barrios is not a spectacular fighter, but he is still a formidable fighter to deal with, and Pacquiao has proven that he still has what it takes to go toe to toe against young fighters. He deserves to regain his rank due to this performance.
He deserves to have another fight or even a rematch since the fight ended in a draw.

Pacquiao is still really a great boxer. I was surprised how he moved this fight against Barrios. He trained his body well to be able to compete head on despite of his age and after many years of not being into a title match.

I am also looking forward for a rematch against Barrios or a title match again on a different division.

Mayweather Jr. retired at 48 and Pacquiao is currently 46yrs. old. so maybe 1 or 2 more match for him before he really retires.
