First thing first understand that you can't change people's views about the market. Secondly there are different types of speculations to start with first we have those made by people simply driven by FOMO in their views concerning the market bias, secondly there are those that make speculations based on fundamentals which have a huge impact on the market and lastly we have those that speculate based on technical analysis. You should focus on the last 2 the first is just an excuse for scared investors.

As far as I know poker is won in mostly 2 ways , which basically consists of either you have a good card or you are capable of making a good bluff. You can win a round with the worse card if you are able to make a good bluff and basically no one will see it coming. Poker tables work based on a randomisation algorithm and the AI can't be 100% accurate what the AI can do at best is based on probability speculate the cards after the draw.

Firstly you should store your seed phrase yourself. Those stuff about X-ray detecting your seed through metal plates can only be done if you don't keep your seeds private. Basically no one will go looking for something where they didn't keep them and based off of that condition no one will attempt to make use of detectors of any kind in search of your seed if they are not aware that you have a seed there.
Security and privacy actually go hand in hand and you can't separate them. As much as you are actually trying to make sure your Seed is safe you should also make sure that your seed is private.

Hashrate drop can decrease mining difficulty  but the thing is economic factors also have a role to play too it's not just a single thing that would cause everything. Imagine due to government rules and regulations a couple of mining companies or pools had to close down in certain regions or countries. Hashrate will only decrease considerably if the Hashrate they generate on the network is also considerable in comparison to the general Hashrate.

Proposition is not the problem. I can give to you more merit if you make good posts at least a thread that sends some information. You should then give those merits back to the community. Not to specific people. 

I called your post trash simply because you were insinuating that I throw stones which is wrong. I'm instancing on a United board no one that some benefit and others don't. Same way you find my comment offensive was same way I found yours. take a look at those using alts to cuss ? Would you condone such.

Firstly don't talk about age because you would only be speculating secondly the local board did not support me in my growth on this forum and it's very obvious. You should not paint the story. You have a tag right? Did you farm an account? Then why can't the LB help ? Because there is no unity just some benefiting and others put aside.

Since I joined this forum till I crossed 1000 merits Nigerians haven't contributed up to 30% of my earned merit.

As for the cusses I apologise if I sounded offensive. There are 2 sets of people on this thread : those that are wanting support from the board and trying to play safe and those that have so much benefited that they see cheating as normal.

Do you think I want to take my smerits else where? You don't even need to make technical posts to earn merit just do something meaningful.

You made an appreciation thread for the board recently how did they support? Do you think I can't send more merits than I sent to you post? But why didn't I because I know they will assume I know you off forum. Based on your stay on the local board and contributions for years you ought to be legendary not just you but many others however because of the way the board is you are still lacking merits.

It's simple let the LB unite not actually based on know you basis

I have a general question for the board , if I create a gang and begin to get bias in merit sending and Charles-Tim and other merit sources do same how will the board grow? Everyone is trying as much as possible to stay away from this thread simply because it's the truth and 80% or more are guilty of what I'm saying. It's a shame no one can defend a fellow local board member here because the person bursting is saying the truth.

Some were cowardice enough to use alts to say the trash they can't say with their main accounts because they are guilty of all these. You speak of other local boards when they support literally everyone of their members as LB should be a safe haven but here if you are not in a gang in likely port Harcourt you can't rank on the LB.

The clown saying I sent 22 merits to a post I dare you to bring two of your posts as good as that if you won't get that same merit from me. It's so disgusting that you guys know the truth but you are simply aiding and abating a lie.

Mia gives out merit evenly and all that goes a gang how effective is the cycle that way? Anytime a topic about merit is raised you all quickly refer to merit sources forgetting you too have a role to play in the merit cycle.

Take a look at BPIP it's a shame not up to 5 Nigerians are there as top members. Those that manage to thrive do so outside the board because here cartels have eaten in so deep.

You have trash post that are pyramid quotes and off topic as hell earning tons of merit on the buttom of page 5 Who the hell reads a whole thread that far. If you are supporting you are part of them. Nobody on this board is blind. Merit is sent on this board based on a know you basis and not a quality basis. Look up the stats of this post you'll see the ton of views replies won't come in why because they are all gang members funny thing is some will be shameless enough to come say something here knowing fully well they are aiding this shit.

Frankly speaking I don't even know what to title this post that's why I had this as a title. Firstly I'm saying this even if I know it won't change a thing on the board but I believe it's worth saying. This board is damn too biased in merit sending and receiving. It obvious and anyone coming here to defend it is obviously part of it.  I've been out of smerits for a while now and I've been surfing around just to keep an eye on some deserving posts when my source gets refilled and I can see really good posts abandoned for no damn reason. Now we have 5 sources on the board what's the excuse?

Every now and then Nigerians complain about the government of the country and how bias they are but the fact is the average Nigerian is worse than they are the only difference is the opportunity to exercise that power..... I hope one day you guys allow the board to actually grow and stop farming accounts..

You actually have a good point here. It's actually really a numbers game and it kinda preys on people's desire for that easy win.
I've come across a couple of variations of this trick not just in horse racing but in football too like you said. The only actual guaranteed tip in betting is that if someone's selling you a sure thing they're actually selling you a lie. The real money in this kinda game if there is any comes from deep knowledge, careful analysis and a decent  amount of luck and  never from a stranger promising you the moon for a grand. The key here is that most gamblers easily fall for hype.

We have to be very careful about visiting sites that have reputations when it comes to both casinos and even exchanges same way exch was being phished by multiple sites some other casinos on the forum and not only BC.game are being phished. I only recommend visiting casinos and exchanges on this forum via this forum and from only in specific areas like their Ann threads or signature campaign threads. Scammers a known for masking themselves in the reputation of services like these to scam people.

Are you sure about this? Especially the part about specialized chips??as far as I know hardware wallets have encryptions and in addition to that they don't have any networking devices in them which simply means they can't connect to the internet. Most of them rely on only cable connections like USBs.

Instead of importing your seed you can create a watch only wallet with your public keys, on another device with internet connection, create a transaction, take it to the hardware wallet for signing and then take the signed transaction to the device with internet and broadcast it for confirmation. That way your seed never had internet access.

Exactly, no matter how you try to put it the math ends up pointing at probability. You are still luck dependent either way. The thing is those so called stats only gives you a measure of what should play out if it goes strictly mathematical but the big problem is bets don't depend on math only but luck too and luck can't be predicted.
Take a coin flip for example, math suggests that for every 2 flips you should get a had and a tail. But the thing is based on luck you could hit heads 10 times in 10 flips even if the chances is around 2^-10.

If we are being honest, losing streaks are far more concurrent than winning streaks. Basically when you win consecutively it's best you take a decent break. This would prevent the emotional stress that would come from losing a lot due to over excitement. Basically greed can kick in pretty fast and you eventually begin to raise your stake higher and higher till you eventually lose it all.
Deciding to drop bets may not work either since you could lose again and in the process of wanting to recover them lose even more.

To an extent  I think polymarket sounds kinda like a rigged game. This is because basically you can see who's betting what and basically those in charge of settling markets seem to kinda bend the rules especially with that Israel market. It really more like screams straight up manipulation but in a more technical way. For big money most gamblers would expect fair play and not a few powerful folks pushing outcomes to suit themselves. Even if winning depends on luck most gamblers prefer games that produce a better winning chance.

You hardly find organic discussions on the gambling board and discussions like this require you to actually understand the context of what the person is talking about and not just some random talk about addiction and odds. Basically I found this post way below in the page virtually almost at page 2 because I was looking for a post that wasn't a mega tread like most ones on the gambling board.

The part that talks about betting on Jesus is something that I don't think even any religion would allow besides virtually almost all religion are against gambling in general.

So basically what you're saying is a lot of folks are missing the real deal when it comes to bookies versus prediction markets.actually with a bookie it's  basically you against their odds kinda like a simple yes or no. But with a prediction market it's kinda like a true market. you're trading against other people trying to buy low and sell high.
Actually the big difference isn't really decentralization or crypto it's mostly how you play (fixed odds with a bookie).

Wouldn't it be easier for them to cheat on something like this? I'm saying this because many weather forecast do make predictions of how the weather will be before that particular day in fact some of them even make it weeks before that day. That aside , if people are not able to cheat via weather forecast, then they will totally be depending on luck unless someone has the opinion he's able to predict the weather without necessary equipments.
Anyways I don't know if it's just me but I find it a little bit weird dating on the weather likewise the other ones you made a specially the one that talks about coming of Christ.

Agree with the first part that says exchanges handle a lot of transactions and a daily basis but the fact is they don't use automated system for their cold storages this is because automated systems require internet connection most of the time to run and if internet connection is involved it's no longer cold storage. In my opinion I believe that most of them make use of multisignature wallet for larger amount of funds. 

This will reduce the chances of losing funds if a single key is lost or compromised by hackers. Most times exchanges don't even need to use their cold storage since people swap across different currencies every single day depending on how big the exchange is. In the end most of the time the currencies cancel out each other.

Did you actually read through the post? Or you are trying to insinuate something different? I just mentioned a broker and not an exchange you should read through the post before replying. Plus what exactly don't you understand? Because so far there's nothing further to explain..

The biggest problem is it's getting way harder to make use of DEX and decentralized bodies because only a handful of them out there are actually genuine and not scammers. Meanwhile centralization is eating deeper into the system.
