Re: Observation on life needs

Do you agree with this observation? Would you agree that it's better to not increase your needs in first place?

We all have many needs but what matters is how contender we can be and not we having different needs that can't be fulfilled. Knowing our limits in every situation is an important part of being who we should be. The more money you get, the more your needs begin to increase. Before it could have been only few things that are basic but with more money, you'll begin to see some things that you can make use of the money you now have for and starts doing it instantly.

Re: The One Question That Every Trader Should Ask Themselves
by

on 13/07/2025, 23:54:43 UTC
Final Words
The crypto market is highly unstable, that it why it is important that traders only invest what he can afford to lose. So the next time as you are about to click that “buy” button, stop and ask yourself:

"If this trades doesn't go as planned, will I still be able to sleep at night?"

It's only when we want to trade some cash that's more than our usual trading amount, when this wants to happen we have to stop instantly and reconsider the decision we want to take. Being smart about how we trade is going to be of good help to use both as beginners and professionals. When the money isn't an amount that I can forget about after losing, there isn't any need to use such amount of money for gambling. When I haven't become perfect, I don't trust myself to make the right decision so I don't mind asking forums like this to get knowledge about everything there's to learn about trading. Everyone have done a great job here lecturing newbies and I hope this keeps on going.

Re: Use simple logic to win in sports betting..

on 13/07/2025, 23:42:16 UTC
Can you explain this in your own words, if you truly believe that simple logic can help you win in sports betting?
Tell me how you analyze games in a simple way and still manage to win consistently, something that most of us struggle with.

It just has to happen and there isn't anyway you can teach it because it's your own luck and not that of anyone else.  The way anyone that isn't you is going to benefit is when they're copying your bets and following it according as you're doing. Copying someone is dangerous on its own but when you're sure the individual that you're copying is a professional, you won't be that nervous. Everything is depending on luck when gambling hence I don't stress myself to get the attention of people that wants to learn how to gamble because I'm still learning and haven't perfected it. Nobody can teach you how to gamble while being safe always that you aren't risking money. When gambling you need money to make more money.

Re: Have you bet on card before because of the referee used for the match?
by

on 13/07/2025, 23:32:14 UTC
Since I have been betting, I have not thought of this before. Is the referee the reason you bet on yellow or red cards?

There has been times when the referee are the reason behind me thinking more red or yellow cards are going to be given and also the clubs playing has influenced me sometimes. There are some games that it's always going to get so intense that lots of cards will be given, more of yellow cards will be issued any possible some red. Some referees has bad officiating record with some clubs and this affects them because they had some problems in the past. The referee decide if they're going to give more cards instead of leaving the players go with a warning, there are some challenges that won't be booked by most referees but when the ones incharge have pasta grudges, it becomes a problem.

Re: What is the best way to gamble?

If you end up losing would you still categorize it as a fun time? Lol. It's easy to deposit, win and withdraw then call it a fun time or experience but even though you might have the same experience when losing deep down you wouldn't really say you had fun...every minus comes with a lot of frustration, well it depends on how much you stake though...for me losing isn't fun that's why I gamble responsibly

Losing shouldn't be fun to anybody when there's an opportunity for you win. I don't enjoy it when I lose hence I don't gamble on games I'm not sure that atleast I have a chance of winnin. There isn't any certainty but it gives me more assurance when I have some control. I admire gamblers that have strong mind to believe in their bets they pick despite what the crowd are choosing being something different. Losing is frustrating and if I was to continue losing, I'll have to give up on the game that I'm playing and try something different for a change. Losing makes you become more desperate to win and gambling under such conditions is dangerous because of the things that might have happened because of this wrong decision that you're about making.

Re: When can someone say they have won the casino?
by

on 13/07/2025, 23:15:14 UTC
Winning a jackpot must be great, but it doesn't compare to the amount the casino takes in. It's only a small portion. For us, it's a big prize, for them, it's tip money. It's rare, but it's possible that someone hasn't bet/lost enough money to win a big prize. Once again, it's down to luck. We may not beat the casino, but we can certainly win. It's difficult, but not impossible!

When someone can say they have won the casino is when they win a large sum of money while they haven't staked upto that amount. It's only a jackpot or a large amount that can justify you winning the casino. Any other wins apart from this doesn't look like a win by you from the casino. The casino are making the most profits hence your small wins can't affect them but when you win a jackpot that the casino will have to send you a big amount, that's when the casino is going to feel your victory. We have big casino that it doesn't matter how much you win, they can always afford to pay you because of the amount of revenue they're getting. Some casino are so big that only a small percentage of the money they realized are being used for the daily payout.

Re: Am I a bad father for letting my daughter gamble?

Now, I’m a father, and my 17-year-old daughter is starting to gamble too playing slots and even doing some sports betting. I don’t know how to feel, part of me feels oddly proud of what she’s doing.
What does that make me?

You're a good father don't think any less of yourself because there are some fathers that are doing things more worse than allowing their children to start gambling at a young age. You're concerned because you care about your daughter and she should be proud of having you because you won't allow anything to happen to her. My Advice would be to channel that desire she has into something different and maybe when she gets older and want to still be gambling than that's her decision to make. Assuming she isn't doing it in a way that's going to affect her in future but she's being wise about the way she goes about gambling then you don't have to be worried much. Maybe she's interested in making her own money, teach her other means to achieve that.

Re: man up and stop blaming casinos

Of course that was a bitter moment that I have ever felt, besides blaming the system I also experienced severe depression, if I remember it now, I am very ashamed, now I have limited my gambling and now the situation has improved, I am still actively playing even though only occasionally

Good for you and I hope others can take the decision that you took and it has change your life from being someone that used to blame the casino to acknowledging where you went wrong and did some corrections. We aren't losing because the casinos are cheating or being unfair to use but because of our greed hence when we lose, we should look at the steps we took and things that we didn't do right will get revealed to us. Becoming better starts from with in yourself and not from people that don't know about your existence. If you don't stake, you aren't losing and no one except yourself can stake on the game. There isn't anyone setting the games up for you but yourself hence you have to hold yourself responsible for what the outcome of the game is.

Re: Studying different sports develops your betting mind.

on 06/07/2025, 18:16:27 UTC
In short, I have adopted a formula for myself that your thinking as a bettor will develop when you study different sports and compare them with each other. Do you think this development really happens? If so, how does it manifest itself?

Having different experiences helps you alot hence there's some truth in what the thread is discussing. Having different studies on how to win in different sports is going to make you become a better sport gambler. But while doing this, you'll have to focus on one particular sport and use that as you main gambling game to become a professional in that sport. Don't think that you'll be capable of betting on different sports and be getting successful. Not everybody can share the ability of their brians on different task and be doing them all well. You'll have to specialized and that's focusing on one sport. Many gamblers have choose football as the sport they'll be gambling on and that's because football is the most popular sports and easiest to bet on

Re: Do you think positive mindset keeps you winning?
by

on 06/07/2025, 04:09:36 UTC
Have came across many people talked about positive mentality or mindset while gambling, and of course it's good to have positive mindset or mentality while gambling but, to what extent would you keep losing to understand that not all time you would keep counting on positive mentality or mindset than drawing a close check of your gambling statics to know that you don't need only positive mindset rather you need strategies to get winning instead of keep losing without adequate planning.

Strategy don't work when gambling, it might work for sport betting because then you'll have some references to fall back to when strategizing but for gambling that you'll have to depend completely on luck, you can't have a strategy for that. Positive mindset c a keep you winning but for that to happen, you'll need some luck too because it's due to you being lucky that you can. Win for a consecutive number if times. If isn't your strategy or any other things thing that's making you to win but only because of you have some luck. There's no need of being negative when gambling becauye that isn't going to help you. You'll have to be positive because this is going to help you more than being negative about the bets that you have placed.

I'm starting to believe that there won't be one. I'm holding a few different altcoins on Binance, most of them were acquired through airdrops or launchpools and when they were first introduced in the market, they were worth a substantial amount of money. However, their value just keeps dropping, and yes, they are likely a bunch of shtcoins, but this doesn't only apply to those I'm holding, but even in major altcoins that have been on the market for years. This has led me to believe that we won't see a major, or any, altcoin season anytime soon, with hopes to recoup some of their value slowly fading away.

You don't have to lose hope yet, wait upto the last minute of the bull market because you don't know what's going to happen. Things have changed drastically previously because of some good developments towards the market. I don't wish for the altcoins season not to happen because I have some altcoins too and I'll love it if some positive news can come around to  rearrange the market for we to have a good market period again and not the constant bad market we have been getting for some weeks now.

Altcoins won't first Bitcoin to start pumping during the main bull market, it's because of Bitcoin increasing that other cryptocurrency will begin to do well. It doesn't matter if other cryptocurrency doesn't get back to their previous ATH but they should give profits to those buying because alot of investors are going to be losing if the altcoins don't move.

Re: When your kid talk about Bitcoin don't assume it's all good

I think that when children hit an age 13-15 and become teenagers, parents not totally stop monitoring their activities, but do that very lightly. Children build some trust or show that they are smart or at least use their mind before doing something, so parents partly let go parenting and let children learn and experience world themselves.

Until the children have grown up to become adult, they still need our guidance. We have to keep telling them how to navigate life until they're 18 that's what I think. We can reduce in the guidance but not to stop. Unless it's the kids using Bitcoin as cover up for their crimes but when anyone talks about Bitcoin, it should be investing or trading and not anything bad because that isn't Bitcoin. Bitcoin is good and has nothing that you can say is bad when investing in Bitcoin. Some scammers have found ways to scam people by asking for payments to be made in Bitcoin. This isn't investing in Bitcoin either hence children are getting cleaver with their tricks but we have to develop new ways of dealing with this problem coming up.

Re: Does trading mean a better life?
by

on 01/07/2025, 20:11:29 UTC
Trading means a better life only if the trader itself is good enough to manage the risk and maximize its future profits. But for some traders who only rush to trading without knowing even the basics in winning a trade, they won’t expect that trading will change their lives for the better, but most probably expect for the worst maybe.


People with this mentality are better off gambling and not trading. Trading shouldn't be seen as gambling that you can get lucky and win . In trading although you can get lucky but you'll need more of it then the skills of trading for you to make profits from the market. The market isn't as easy as gambling is. We have more traders losing and giving up before they get to one year because of  how difficult it's for you to learn successfully how to trade. Trading can make your life better and it can make it worse, everything depends on how you go about it, when you get good at trading then your life is going to become better and vice versa. Trading isn't deferent from other means of making money, it gives you only two choices, make money or lose money .

Re: Trading Mindset

This mindset doesn't make so much sense to me when the end  product balls down to making profits for oneself, yes the rich stake up huge amounts to get something bigger and the poor in the other hand is fighting for their financial freedom in that same vein but putting all of that aside a good trading mindset is what matters which involves knowing the right way to trade and all of that.

Good mindset is the priority for all traders, without a good mindset, you're defeated already and all your decisions will be heading towards you losing. There isn't any means which a trader that isn't optimistic about the trade they're about to take is going to be able to analyse the market accurately to get a good trade firm it. When this happens is merely luck and not because if the smartness of the trader. Trading mindset has alot of things attached to it like your frequent analysis to be done on the market to make sure you're capable of being a good trader. Being rich shouldn't make you to stake more than your budget, it isn't the amount you stake that determine if you're winning or not, it's the knowledge of the market that you have and how you make use of it.

Re: Five things to spend your money on.

on 01/07/2025, 19:49:57 UTC
Is eating at a good restaurant luxurious and does that count to be a form of enjoyment? Do foods cooked at that restaurant can't be prepared in your home too. What I really think it's the best enjoyment is picnic outing with family or close ally, spending time in nature, going to beach with family and all these are not expensive but seems day fulfilling.

Everyone has their preference hence we can't expect everyone to see things in the same way you see things. Eating in the restaurant, a luxurious one can be seen as enjoyment to others despite it not being your thing. I love the way you listed them and I think that's the way we should be spending our money. Getting all the necessary things should be our number one priority, after that then we can keep aside emergency funds then savings.

With this strategy, your investments won't be sold prematurely because you have funds elsewhere to be used for other things while you're investment keep growing. Luxury should be the last thing you're allocating money to and this should only be done when your have enough leftover after sorting out the important bills. Money for investment should always be available too because that's what can change your story from being broke to wealthy.

Re: Wars Are Getting Cheaper (and What That Means for The Economy)
by

on 01/07/2025, 17:55:18 UTC
The use of cheap drones by Ukraine to attack Russian war jet fleets might be the reason why OP assumes that war is cheap.  But it's great that many responses have made it clear that war is the most expensive project a country can undertake. The amount of money that has been spent in Ukraine and Russia could be enough to turn a third world nation to a developed one. 

I would have thought the OP was taking about how it's now too easy to start wars because I still don't get why Russia and Ukraine are still fighting. Aren't they seeing the amount of people that they're killing and the turning of their life upside down of those barely surviving. War has always been expensive because of the weapons that has to be purchased by the country that has to win. What wins wars isn't the human power that you posses but the weapons you have access to and this depends on the amount of revenue that the country has. There are country's that you can't have more weapons against hence having war against that country is a waste of your human resources.

Re: Is it due to skills or luck?

on 01/07/2025, 17:27:09 UTC
I'd say it's mostly luck and some skills for that to happen. It's not 100% chance that you will win if it's only skills because no matter how skilled you are is that you may still failed. As many other people would say that when it comes to gambling is that it is all about skills and luck combined except gambling games like slots which is purely luck. Having skills is what makes your chance of winning increase compared to depending on luck alone.

Agreed, luck is needed despite the type of  gambling that you're doing. It doesn't matter if it's sport betting or any other type of bet. You need to be skillful too and not depending only on luck for you to make profits after gambling for a long duration. I can't say anybody can depend on only the skills that they have for winning either, you'll need some atom of luck because there are times that you would have made the wrong decision and you need a little bit of luck for things to change. Your skills are going to increase your chances of winning but that doesn't guarantee you that you're going to win. Lasting gambling is all about being lucky then other things help you out a little bit.

Sometimes a person who can’t controlled his/her addiction won’t stop even if they mentioned they will stop gambling. Majority in some scenarios, the only thing that made them stop is losing a lot or already in debt. Stopping isn’t an easy way to do, once you’re inti gambling, it’s hard to escape that, you need a hard process and takes a lot of time. So if a person said it, don’t believe it ‘cause we all know people always learn in the hard way.

I don't think most of them stop, they might claim that they have stop so that the people monitoring them will let loose their guide and then they start from where they stop or had taken a break. Gambling addiction is difficult to get rid of hence most people that had gotten this problem find it difficult to recover from it. For anyone that wants to stop gambling addiction, you'll have to be determined before you can accomplish that. Staying away from some sport events can help you stop gambling too because it's some of this sporting events that attract us to gambling because we see clubs or players that can give us guaranteed victory then we stake on them and after winning we see that we're in luck and want to continue gambling.

Re: The solution to gambling…

It's no joke that some people so vulnerable to addiction and once they just step into the gambling process, they don't take long and they are already addicted. Once you notice the kind of person you are and you know you can't hold back your emotions towards gambling and losses, then stay away, that's also a solution.

Agreed, not everybody is good with handling emotions that involves money, as soon as they're given the opportunity to make more money, they become obsessed with that activity that it becomes a problem for them instead of being the reason behind their wealth. Being greedy isn't good hence as soon you noticed that you aren't good with handling pressure, you don't have to be gambling or even though you're gambling, you shouldn't be doing excessively. The solution to gambling addiction is stopping but many addicts won't what to stop hence the next solution should be reducing the amount of time they spend gambling and if they can do this, it'll help them a little bit.
