Re: Is it possible to turn $0.2 into $10,000 in slot and sports games?

What about you? Do you have a true story to share?

If you check the Internet, you would come across many stories of people winning big with little deposits. But some of these stories need to be verified because some of them are fake. They are used by influencers and gambling platform promoters to attract people to their platforms. I have never won $10,000 in my entire life as a gambler with the amount I bet. My biggest win ranges from $500 to $1000, and this has happened a few times. But I am hopeful that one day, I will hit the jackpot.
Don't put your hopes on people's stories on social media, even people that you think you know, fake news are everywhere. Some people will want to create envy in others by letting them to believe that they used insignificant amount to win huge amounts. Try your own luck with amount that you can afford to loose and maybe one day you will be lucky to hit the jackpot. It's not impossible to win big but it's not easy and it shouldn't be something that any responsible gambler should lose sleep over, just enjoy yourself while gambling and accept the outcome that your luck brings out.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

As I check Bitcoin's price and see that it has surged to another ALL TIME HIGH, I feel both happy and SAD.
Why?

Because the more it surges higher and higher from here, the higher possibility that we may never have the opportunity to buy Bitcoin below $100,000 again.

My next major Bitcoin purchase will be below $100,000 IF we are lucky to see it there again.

You should have regrets for waiting rather than buying, yet of course, when to wait and when to buy are personal choices.. and hopefully you were not sitting on too much cash waiting for a dip that did not end up happening.
Why wait for bear run when price will dump below $100k before buying? I believe that we should be more optimistic that Bitcoin price will continue to increase and hit new ATH that any minor or major setbacks are what it needs to gather momentum and eventually skyrocket again. It's best for Bitcoin investors to always focus on long term goal, buy when you have the funds, don't worry about dip because you know that Bitcoin has the potentials to always reach new ATH in the future.

This is why DCA method is highly recommended for investors that don't want DIP distractions. DCA is for investors that wants to be focused on accumulating for the long term because they believe that Bitcoin will always recover from every dip. If Bitcoin were not volatile and we can accurately predict when we can see any perticular price then investors that are bothered about dip can have a justifiable reason to wait. But we don't know when price might dip bellow $100k or if it'll ever happen, that is why I recommend to buy when you have the funds.

Re: Is Gambling Affect Education/Studies?

The student's have a right to use their money like they want. If they're happy studying & gambling because they're comfortable doing it they won't take advice from ppl it's some thing they'll understand when they're getting older.
The one who has money will decide how to use that money. If he is given any advice and if he does not accept it and says that how I spend my money is my personal matter, then there is nothing to say. He will make many mistakes at this age but those mistakes will not be seen by his consideration, but when he grows up and understands responsibility at some point, he may regret the mistakes he made in student life. However, when the time is up, there is no point in understanding, should understand well while you have time.

Students that are still dependant on their parents and guidance to pay tuition fees and survive don't have the right to use money given to them as they like. Unless the people that gives them money tells them to gamble with parts of it but I seriously doubt that any responsible parents or guidance will say such a thing. Dependants and unemployed people are not surposed to have anything to do with gambling because in the process of trying to win  and double their money they can lose everything. It is only people that makes their own money that are qualified to gamble.

Re: Do You Think Bitcoin Will Still Be the Dominant Crypto in 10 Years?

I don't know for sure what will happen in cryptocurrency in the next 10 years because technology is getting more advanced and we're seeing a lot of upgrades. But based on what is on ground now and using it to predict the next 10 years in cryptocurrency I firmly believe that Bitcoin will still be dominant. It has proven to be the king of all cryptocurrency with all it's potentials to always be far ahead in it's market cap. With the way that institutions are adopting and buying, governments strategizing to hodl it as their reserves, they've surely seen it as an asset that will last and be at the top of the crypto chain.

Re: right bankroll management keep you in check

on 12/07/2025, 07:09:37 UTC
Of course, proper and responsible bankroll management is important, it can help us prevent losses, prevent us from getting into a difficult financial situation and harming ourselves… However, there is another kind of danger with bankroll. The danger of overestimating the role of bankroll in making a profit. In fact, it is a very simple thing: bankroll allows us to lose money less quickly, but no matter how well we manage our bankroll, it will not allow us to make money. In other words, bankroll management can allow us to lose money slowly, but it knows nothing about making money.
Bankroll management is important in gambling and every other areas of life that has to do with finance, if you plan your bankroll well you can avoid unnecessary regrets. Bankroll management just like bet strategies don't guarantee you of wins, they help to manage your gambling decisions and minimize loses. I agree with you that bankroll management helps you to lose slowly instead of losing everything all at once and become emotional with stress. Gamblers who manage their bankroll well are responsible gamblers, they understand that gambling is not a business that they need to invest substantial amount of money to be profitable.

If your government removes gambling billboards, TV adverts and social media influencers from promoting gambling it will not totally eradicate it. So far they cannot eradicate gambling memory from gamblers minds in the country they'll still gamble without seeing any adverts. The move can work for people who're not already gamblers because they won't sight anything that will entice them to want to gamble. It is not enough to remove every gambling adverts they should also educate their people about the dangers of irresponsible gambling that can lead to addiction.

The thread said Buy buy buy or sell sell sell: Did you buy when the time was right? did you grap the opportunities bitcoin offered? now we are not longer teasing, bitcoin is on the run and it's time to see the need why JayJuanGee has always advised to buy and keep buying even when you think it's not time to buy, now you're able to see the other side of bitcoin and you wouldn't want to keep getting prepared before you invest but invest while getting prepared because preparations never ends, it keeps going.

Glad I did the buy buy buy and now it's time to see the reason why I chose bitcoin.

It is very clear that someone who didn't buy when the price of Bitcoin was below $100k will never or may never buy again because the price is appreciating every now and then and how would they buy at $118k when they could not buy at $90k plus. The more they are waiting the more opportunity they are forfeiting and the more the fear and procrastinating spirit in them will keep growing. Bitcoin has break a new all time high ( ATH) and it will continue to do so because it has the potential, it will be an interesting thing for someone to see the potential of Bitcoin and utilize it so that in years or time coming when other will be running around they will be relaxing and enjoying their hard work.
At this level of Bitcoin reputation and it's clear potentials that it can always reach ATH there is no doubt that the right thing for every investors should be to buy buy and keep buying. At this stage that Bitcoin has attained it has nothing more to prove about it's potentials to continue being profitable by giving it's holders ROI in the future. It is no doubt a store of value and that is why institutions are getting smarter and buying hyper aggressively because they know that the bigger their bags the more ROI that will be accruing to them.

If all these institutions all over the world that understands finance and the importance of decentralized currency will continue buying I don't see what should stop the average income earners not to buy. Any investor that truly understands where Bitcoin is headed in the future they wouldn't consider to sell no matter what the current price is.

Bitcoin has a limited supply and as far as buying continues to exceed selling by very high merging which is already happening, demand will always be higher than supply. On the long term scarcity will always make the price to continue reaching new ATH.

If you gamble it is of your interest and that of your spouse, you both need to share same orientation about gambling or given a chance to understand and respect the other person gambling choice and if they won’t then either they go or you reconsider your choice. Why should an adult keep their gambling choice away from their lover that’s deceit to me. Gambling is not a dirty secret.

It is cowardice to hide your gambling habit from your spouse, you can decide not to tell another person but your spouse is your companion till death or divorce. People should be open about their likes and dislikes before marriage, it is good to discuss everything so that nothing will come as a surprise to their partner. It'll be deceitful to learn that your husband or wife has always been a gambler if they told you otherwise before marriage. The spouse at the receiving end will find it hard to believe anything said by the lying partner afterwards. Better to let everything out before joining in marriage so your partner can accept you for who you are or move on.

Re: How about a happy breaking another bitcoin All Time High

So short term, our target will be $120k. But for the bigger picture or at least the top of this ATH, it could be around $150k-$180k. So let's see how it goes, July seems to be on our side.

It looks like we can get to $120K today. In a little while. $118K @ bitstamp atm. We will hit resistance at some point, but I think we can easily get to $150K before the end of the summer.
I was very excited to see the new ATH it's a testament that the bull is gaining momentum and I don't see anything stoping it from hitting $150k and beyond within this 2 remaining quarters. I'm not bothered about resistance and corrections this is a normal trend for price to rally and hit new ATH. Presently price is at $117k and I'm looking past the minor setback, the most important thing is that we're headed to an ATH that will wow every investors that believed in the potentials of Bitcoin.

Re: When can someone say they have won the casino?
by
Kelward
on 11/07/2025, 06:55:32 UTC

If you believe that sometimes, gamblers can also win the casino, kindly drop all the explanation of why you have such a believe.
Someone can win the casino but it's very rare, you need to be extremely lucky to do so, it happens once in a while and that is why most gamblers wants it to be them. If you're gambling with small amounts then one day you became lucky to win like 1000 times more than the total amount that you have spent on gambling I will say that you have won the casino. Also a new gambler can have beginners luck and win huge amount of money on their first or second gamble, the gambler has also won the casino. But the problem is that in most cases as long as the gambler continues to gamble they'll most likely lose everything or almost everything back to the casino.

Re: Can AI really predict the outcome of a sports match?
by
Kelward
on 10/07/2025, 16:44:57 UTC
Accurate is an exaggerated definition, let's say with a good dose of accuracy, but never correctly.
In games, everything can change in a matter of seconds; a mistake or a wonderful play is enough to completely change the outcome of the game.
It still manages to give a good chance of guessing the outcome, but I wouldn't call it reliable.
AI accuracy is really an exaggeration when we are talking about sports bet because we are dealing with humans that have errors. AI can predict perfectly based on past performances of a player or team and it'll give it's analysis based on past statistics but a team or player can make a mistake that will alter the perfect analysis. Whether it's humans or AI predictions of sports bet it doesn't guarantee wins what every gambler needs basically to win is luck. If AI is helping a lot of gamblers to win I don't think that casinos can survive, they will all gradually shutdown because they'll all go bankrupt.

However, as far as I feel, investment should never be taken as pressure, if an investor thinks before investing that he can invest $50 per month, then I would advise him to invest $40 per month. The reason for giving such advice is that there may be times when money may be needed, but at that time the investor is not able to invest in the same way, so he should invest $40 and keep the remaining $10 in his emergency fund so that he can use it in any danger and so that his investment remains consistent even during financial disasters.
Yes, investment should never be taken as pressure so that we will not invest wrongly, but if it's because an investor decided to invest $50 per month with either the DCA strategy or the lump sum strategy you are saying that investment should never be taken as pressure, you may be wrong that the investor is under pressure because you don't really know the income size and the discretionary income size of the investor to determine if he's overaggressive in his bitcoin investment. Before an investor will decide to invest $50 per month with either the DCA strategy or the lump sum strategy, the investor is fully aware that he's supposed to make provision for his emergency funds after or before starting a Bitcoin investment, which I believe he has made available for his emergency funds before he decided to invest $50 into Bitcoin, so if there's any emergency in the future, he can easily take care of it and continue investing in Bitcoin consistently.
Our responsibilities differs, one investor can conveniently use $50 to accumulate Bitcoin periodically in his DCA strategy while another can't. I don't like to use specific amounts to give examples of how much to buy Bitcoin with, I prefer to use percentage of income. Before buying Bitcoin as an investor you need to have a budget for your total income, priotize your needs according to their importance then allocate them appropriately.

For most investors that understands financial management it's their basic expenses that determines the percentage of income that enters into their discretionary funds. Basic or primary expenses are mostly constant so if it's 60% of your income covers it that means that the remaining 40% is for secondary needs and it'll fall into your discretionary fund. There you'll make a sub budget for the percentage of money that goes into every areas of your secondary needs. You need to priotize again to determine the amount for Bitcoin accumulation, emergency funds and the rest, it is basic economics.

Re: gambling in prison

Gambling is prohibited in prisons and it is rightly so because there are different types of characters that are locked up and flights can easily erupt anytime. Imagine where different categories of criminals are gambling you must expect cheating and violence which will cause serious harms and disturbances in the facility. Yet prison is a solitary place and I believe that underground gambling will be going on to pass their time so they won't get bored. If they can gamble on a low key with irrelevant bet items or chores that doesn't involve money and without making trouble I think that it's ok, although I wonder if that is possible in a prison.

Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency for privacy and freedom but politicians are leveraging on it's adoption and popularity to use it's influence for political gains. Remember that during the last US presidential campaigns Trump, became Bitcoin friendly to get the massive votes of Bitcoin enthusiasts. Elon Musk, can do the same thing with Bitcoin to gain popularity for his party because a lot of young people are crypto oriented.

Bitcoin can just be a means to an end for this politicians, their public affiliation to it might just be majorly for political purposes. Bitcoin don't need to be in politics or have politicians singing it's praise for it to keep reaching ATH. Satoshi had already put all the mechanisms in place for it to be the number one currency and asset in the world.

If I were to be super rich I could still continue gambling, by then it'll be entirely for fun because I don't need the win, money will no longer be a priority.  If you're very rich to the extent that money is nothing and you still gamble that will be the true definition of gambling for the thrill of it, to simply experience entertainment. By then the taking risks will will not be the reason why you're gambling because you can afford to loose and not feel any regrets. Being that I'm not super rich I wonder whether most people in that category gamble for money because in movies I see them gamble. Some will still gamble for money, the love of it is insatiable.

E no even de recommended for Bitcoin investors to leave dem BTC inside exchanges because if no be your keys no be your coins, any exchange fit to collapse at anything.

Anything that has any chances of happening no matter how slim is not totally impossible so a gambler that is up for high risks can take a chance and bet. I think that impossible bets should be more on prediction sites where people will bet on things like whether that they're not sure of seeing. Betting on impossible outcomes should be for fun and needless to emphasize that such bets should be with amount that the bettor can afford to loose because the chance of winning will be very slim. Gambling should be about the thrill of taking reasonable risks for reward if the gambler is lucky, it shouldn't be something to take too seriously.

If an investor is strictly investing in bitcoin with his discretionary income, he is free to invest in bitcoin with all his discretionary income if he chooses to do that, and he will not have any problem in solving his living expenses because discretionary income is meant to be used and paid for non-important items like vacation. Any financial crisis that happens after you have paid for your monthly expenses should be treated as an emergency because you don't plan for it, and you can freely depend on your emergency fund to solve the financial crisis and keep investing in bitcoin consistently.

Anyone is free to do whatever they want with their cash but let's be honest, you can't be buying aggressively all the time it's not possible cause at some points you'll apportion your discretionary funds into other areas and slow down for a while, which makes lots of sense. I know it's the sacrifice investors who recently started are giving to build a better portfolio but then you can't sacrifice forever since you'll still need to go on vacations, entertain yourself and so forth one can only be aggressive for a few period of time, slow down then continue again after a while but saying that you can be aggressive althrough the year, for someone who recently started investing, I wonder the magic you want to perform, remember you're a human and having fun is part of our nature too.
I quite disagree that it's not a problem if you use all your discretionary funds to be accumulating Bitcoin because life happens and problems can unexpectedly arise. Ofcourse it's your money and you have a right to spend it anyhow you like but using all your discretionary funds to buy Bitcoin is not a good financial plan.

Inorder not to make financial mistakes from your total income you should first remove your basic or unavoidable expenses then the rest goes into your discretionary funds. You need to have a special budget for your discretionary fund, remove some money for emergency, Bitcoin accumulation, miscellaneous for your planned vacation, family treat or buying that gadget. The percentage that you decide to allocate should depend on their priority to you. The point is that your life shouldn't revolve around basic expenses and Bitcoin alone, although you can choose to allocate more percentage of your income into them, it's your money and your choice.

That experience wasn't palatable because I lost everything and it made me to stay off gambling till I became an adult. Again I gambled to make money and it didn't work out so well that was when I decided to gamble for fun, not taking it too seriously, that is my story till now. So I'll say that what first got me into gambling was a desire to win and like I explained I wasn't that lucky then I decided to see gambling as an entertainment where I can win sometimes and lose another time.

I don't know if cockfighting is legal in the Philippines, I always thought that it is an illegal sports or entertainment where people stake their money to bet on cocks.

It is legal! PH have so many cockpit arena which is mortly loaded every Sunday. What is Illegal is the online Sabong, The government issued a stop on this platform.
But the cockfighting in arena still legal.
Thanks for the information, although in my country I've seen a few children engaging chickens in cockfights on the streets but I never knew that it is regarded as a sport in some countries. Although I respect your culture for cockfights but I see it as animal cruelty, I hope that the cocks are well taken care of after their fights. I also checked on Google and confirmed what you said that the Sabong, (cockfighting) is prohibited on gambling platforms. I support this, I think that it is better that only people who loves the sport will be able to watch them live.
