The only way I can imagine gambling on a professional level is if you're the one running the casino. Otherwise, I can't imagine a player as a professional or considering it a real job. Games are primarily based on probability and luck; it's mathematically impossible to calculate monthly or annual income. You could win a huge amount, or you could be left penniless.
It's not my idea, perhaps because I've seen gambling as a pastime or a way to gamble with luck.
I don't mean to discredit anyone with this statement, but this is my point of view.
The only people that can be professionals in gambling are casino owners because it's their business and the professionals that works in casinos because they are sure of receiving their salaries. But for the gambler who plays games and bet in casinos it is not profitable for them to be professionals because their strategies and analysis are not a guarantee to give them wins. You cannot be a professional in a job that luck is a major factor that determines wins or profit. Gambling should be where people go to entertain themselves with amount that they can afford to loose.It's not my idea, perhaps because I've seen gambling as a pastime or a way to gamble with luck.
I don't mean to discredit anyone with this statement, but this is my point of view.
I think that's obvious though, since you are the owner of the casinos then you are the one going to profit from gamblers themselves. But we have seen poker players turning into professional players/gamblers.
But not all of them thrive to become successful though. And just like in professional sports only few names stand out. With that, if you really wanted to be a elite and professional player then you really have to master everything. So it's not as easy as it sounds. Those players that we watch and admire could have gone from scratch but they continue because this is want they wanted in life.
No doubt but before bitcoin reaches a million, we will have to reach $200k... then $500k... $800k... before a million. Bitcoin has reached far but there is still a long way to go. We can't just go from $120k to a million in a year. That would be frankly speaking impossible (I would like to see that but let's be real here lol). Anyway if you have believed in bitcoin since then, no reason for you to suddenly lose trust in bitcoin now.
I don’t think John McAfee actually specified a particular time frame that the bitcoin market will move from $100k straight up to $1m but from the post McAfee replied to which was if bitcoin gets to $10k it will get to $15k and to buttress that statement McAfee might meaning that for anything that pushes bitcoin to the $100k price will certainly pushes it to $1m and I agree with that. Bitcoin adoption and demand has brought it here and I expect it to also take it to same $1m.
This will take time in my opinion as the volatility of bitcoin is not longer that high so I don’t Expect us to just move 10x up in a short while not even in just two halving cycle from here so my prediction is in more than 10 years from now. The market usually just moves like 2x or 3x from previous ATH every halving due to the reduce volatility recently so let’s say three halving cycle can get is there
Interesting prediction of John, it's just unfortunate that he didn't see his prediction becoming true. But I don't think that it will make a rocket scientist or even a eccentric personality like McAfee is.
I have been here in 2017 and I have predicted that during that time, the highest that we might get is $5k. But absolutely I was very wrong, but on the opposite side, there could be some that could have predicted it to close to $20k. My point is that we could make our own predictions here and it's going to be a hit or miss. But obviously thru time, as we have another halving in 2021 and most likely in the next, prices is going to increased my many folds and it could hit $1 million.
Re: Coyote malware stealing banking and crypto information
Not global this time but specifically focused on Brazilians, maybe there is something special in Brazil that this people knows that lead to wanting to steal details from Brazilians only for now, even though it's going to surely be widen sooner but for now I'm really interested to know what exactly they are targeting the Brazilians for, that we will be a very helpful information to keep us protected, anyways good thatop brought this here! For our Brazilians here be careful with your crypto informations, it's time to be more private by using open source applications and avoid most of the Microsoft applications always a target.
It's more of Latin American countries that this cyber groups are really targeting. And as far as I read, it's because countries there have weak infrastructure and so they are like the first ground of target as I have said. The thing is that after the Latin American and their malwares become successful, it will go abroad and target a bigger stage. That's why it's very dangerous as it usually goes for banking then to us crypto.
Updated software and antivirus is the first defense that we can used, but then again, we all know that it's not enough as this malware are very sophisticated as they can bypass most of them. So I do agree that we should be self-aware of this kind of attacks and do everything necessarily to stay out of the reach of this criminals.
This case in the Philippines, i could say is isolated. Cockfighting here is okay and as a enthusiast i could say that there is no criminal networks involve at least here in our place. In fact many tourist come to cockfight arena to witness cockfighting event as they are eager to see why this banned event in their country is so popular here in the Philippines.
I have not heard of any problem here in our place either. The cockfighting arena is so near the residential area, and that is why many police are always doing their rounds, especially when a big event happens like the derby. Well, the government is taking a big portion of the tax, and if they want it to continue, they must put some security in that place, especially with so many cars out there, which must be visitors from other places just to gamble or maybe bring their own roosters to fight.
There's no news about any bad thing that happened there, and maybe it's also because of the new way to place bets, which is computerized.
Any update though on the case? the last report that I read is that several bones have been found already and it says it's human bone. Does the authority was able to connect it to the missing men? And how long does it take to identify the DNA? This is a high profile case so I expect the police to really pushing hard so that they can really arrest those men that are involved?
How about the whistle blower? He already known his presence and so there should already be a case against the billionaire Charlie Ang and his conspirators. No offense, but I guess that's why the country is backward as justice is delayed.
I see sports betting as just entertainment. When I analyze the game, make decisions, and bet based on my analysis, I watch the game and get it right. I celebrate because that win was thanks to my analysis. That's the fun part for me. Now, if I were to watch the game, close my eyes, and bet on any team just counting on luck, I don't see the fun in that. But I've seen many people always betting on underdogs. Recently, there was a case on TV where a rich person bet on Chelsea to win the Club World Cup final. The odds were @5.00, and he won.
So I guess there could be different levels of this kind of what the OP called lottery ticket mentality? Because as far as I know, it could be really huge returns for bettors like x1000 or higher. But as you have said, @5.00 you might think that it might fall on this category?
But I will also say that I'm guilty of this kind of thinking, and who wouldn't? I mean when we bet on the underdogs or play slots for example, we think of hitting huge multipliers are we have see and it has been posted on some casino's X account that someone won big on them. Or when we have like multiplier contest that won by x1000 or even higher so that could be called a long shot or that lottery ticket thoughts.
Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19
Can we see a Pacman vs Mayweather in the near future? Manny told the media that he will fight and back.
Will Moneyweather go out of his retirement soon ? But I do hope that the next opponent of Manny is a fighter which is same as him.
a brave fighter that will box all the way and not just run or hug. we missed the Hatton boxing because of early KO.
If Mayweather comes out of retirement, that probably means he’s eyeing a rematch with Manny. We all know Mayweather’s always after easy money, and fighting Pacquiao means big cash. The real question is, is Mayweather still in shape like Manny? Pacquiao already proved he can still go toe-to-toe with a younger champ, so we know he’s ready. It’s Mayweather we’re not so sure about.Will Moneyweather go out of his retirement soon ? But I do hope that the next opponent of Manny is a fighter which is same as him.

Yes, but he doesn't want to risk that 0 because even though that he is good, who knows, at his age his chin is already like weak and so when Manny touches that again, it might break and Floyd losses for the first time.
At this point I think he and Marquez are the only boxers that doesn't want to fight Manny or rematch him for the money. They already very happy getting a win from Pacman. Nevertheless, majority of boxing analyst and so called experts still ranks Manny above them even though they beat him.
🚨 Huge Resistance Near 110K — BTC Could Crash Down to 80K in Coming Months. What do you think?
Yeah it's possible as market must fluctuate cannot remain stagnant forever, but long term holders understand these trend, we just have to trust the process, Bitcoin will still continue to grow on the long run. But these things happen.Just look at the bigger picture, as most of us are a hold term holder. Fluctuation is one of Bitcoin's nature though, so we should face it all along and never be bothered by it. Others see it as a tool to make money for them.
But as I have said, if you look long term, then you won't panic when the price fluctuates specially if it goes down down. Just continue what we do best, which is DCA as their is the only way we can really make a lot of profits. It might take a lot of hard and grind every week. But it is just numbers, we just need to be tough enough to continue no matter what.
Re: Ethereum Transaction Fee Hits All Time High. 31.22 Eth.
This is the major reason people avoid the Ethereum network, the fees are crazy and this all time high transaction fee will only fuel that narrative.
Although this week ethereum has been good for ethereum price but to actually use ethereum for transactions is the Big headache. Luckily there are other alternatives to ethereum.

Damn, I was already out of the Ethereum market for many years because of this reasons. And still up to this day, despite many versions, this is still the major problem of Ethereum. And obviously, this is also one reason why most investors goes go and didn't invest heavily on them, specially this current market cycles.
So it's very hard for those investor to get out, I mean how can you profit when the fees are too much? And it is just controlled by the majority, the validators themselves. This is just the beginning, if let's say they at least can go to $4k this bull run, then the fees will obviously go up too.
Just saw this.

Revamped LA Clippers Boast Two-Way Depth
What do you guys think? Is it a Championship caliber?
IMO, if healthy. That's the main problem of the Clippers. A healthy roster. When I remember the health of players, it's always Kawhi Leonard who comes to my mind. Why? Well, despite having 2 rings, that dude has been in and out of the hospital.
Without him, the Clippers are a big-small lineup. Harden makes the play, and either he shoots the ball or plays with a big man, Zubac or Lopez.
Is Beal really a good addition for them, or will it wreck their offensive plays? I think Beal needs to become a legit shooter who plays outside. Become like a wingman for Harden, and maybe it will work out for them.

That center position though, having Zubac and Lopez and I think this might be the first time in the last years that we see a team that have really a good center. And when the Lakers have problems giving AD center before, Clippers have two of the best. Although the Lakers have Ayton now and then Hayes as backup, but still it's not even match with Zubac and Lopez.
The problem with Clippers though is how to really blend this players together. Yeah, in paper they really look strong but still not winning enough games. So I will the coaching staff the blame if they can't get to a good spot this upcoming season.
I recently hit a crazy multiplier x5601 on Sweet Bonanza. Just a small bonus buy and ended up winning $400 after the x1000 bomb dropped and hit. I’ve been enjoying it since then, though I don’t spend a lot of hours playing.
But ever since that win, it kinda feels like I’m slowly giving the money back. Been losing around $10 a day for the past week. I’m still in profit, but honestly, I’m starting to lose the excitement. The game doesn’t feel the same anymore.

Sad to say that I think most of us have been in that kind of situation. We got lucky, we won huge amount and then we feel that we are invincible and so we continue to play on the next following day trying to duplicate that kind of winning.
Unfortunately, we lose what we have won and maybe the capital as well. In that case, so it's better if we will stop and take a break from it. As in your case, it seems that it's more of the mental stress. So it's really good that from time to time, and if ever win big, then just enjoy the money and not play.
Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19
Also, you want Pacman vs. Boots Ennis? I will be sorry for Pacman fans because Boots will give him a knockout similar to the knockout he received from Juan Manuel Marquez. I am quite certain of this.
I don't think Pacquiao will fight Boots Ennis, he's a very dangerous opponent for Manny at this stage of his career. They chose Mario Barrios because he's considered the weakest among the current welterweight champions. So if Manny does return to the ring, I believe they'll pick an opponent with a similar caliber to Barrios. Although names like Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero have been mentioned, I still think both are too risky for Manny.
Yes, as much as we love Manny, Ennis will be too much for him and I do agree that he chooses Barrios because as we all know of, he is the weakest amongst the champion. But if Manny will fight the likes of Boots Ennis or even Tank Davis, we might see Manny getting KO'ed again.
So it's very hard where to see Manny from here, maybe a Barrios rematch?
Although it was reported that Manny earn at least 1 Billion Pesos, so that his huge amount of money in his bag again. And it could compensate on how much he lost when he campaigns as Senator in the latest Philippine election.
Re: Youtuber said best time to sell bitcoin is when altcoins rally? Is this true?
Bitcoin doesn't follow altcoins, but altcoins follow Bitcoin.
I'm not sure if that holds, I mean we have seen Bitcoin decoupled from Altcoins this bull cycle already. But before that was the pattern, but when Bitcoin hit's all time high pre-halving, it was a different pattern distinct from the supposedly altcoin follows Bitcoin narrative.
Different people with different theories, just be careful. If you want to mislead yourself, follow those YouTubers, they will easily mislead you.
Exactly, for all we know, influencers will tell everything, but behind all of it, they don't have the experience or even losing more. And so they will just shill any altcoins because they might be holding a lot of them. So I wouldn't listen on Youtubers, specially very young.
Money runs gambling. It gets transferred from a point to another. From the poor to the wealthy, from the wealthy to the poor.
Let's first talk about how the poor gives the money to the wealthy.... They allocate a huge part of their money (which isn't a lot in the first place) to gambling thinking that this would be the quick fix to their problems. This is how they give the money to the wealthy in this case the casino owners.
But the money can also go from the wealthy to the poor. If the tax from casinos gets collected by the government and is used effectively, it can help a lot of those in need. The money can be used to improve infrastructure, education, healthcare and etc.

That could be the cycle, but still the poor might not get enough from the taxes, specially countries that are very corrupt. And then not every wealth is being given to the government itself. It's obvious that the casino is a business, and so they will take the lion share and just give enough taxes to the government in certain portion.
So there is no distribution of wealth in my opinion. If there is, the poor or those who have lost so much in gambling will not get any back in any from. The casino as a business empire will still get most of the profits from the poor or the gamblers themselves.

Re: Usyk - Dubois Rematch July 19 Undisputed Heavyweight, Wembley, London
Bookies are also favoring Usyk, but the odds for his win are too low. Surprisingly, the odds for Dubois are also relatively low, though slightly higher than those for Usyk. Betting in boxing is definitely a risky business, I must say. I usually bet on football matches, but today I’ll test my luck in boxing. It seems like the majority are backing Usyk, so it would probably be unwise for me to go against the hive mind.
If you really want to test your luck in gambling, how about you go for the choice that most persons are not going for that is betting on Dubois to win instead of Usyk's to win. I still think that he has a chance to win and considering that many people do not think he will win he can actually win it. Just like in the case of the club world cup finals where Chelsea went against PSG and most of the gamblers bet on PSG to win the game but we know how the game finally ended. If you're a gambler you must be willing to take the risk and these are the sort of risk that gamblers take.I'm the type who always tries to not go against the crowd when betting. Sure, in some cases this tactic fails, but more than often it pays off just like in the recent Usyk's fight who won by KO in the fifth round. Honestly, I didn’t expect such quick victory from him. I even considered betting on the fight going the full distance thinking Usyk might win on points. Luckily, thought it again and decided not toplace that bet.
Good for you, I never saw it coming. That Usyk will win by a KO, I thought that Dubois will make the fight close as he is the bigger guy, the younger and he has the power. But it Usyk is really a gifted boxer, so congrats for those who back him up to win by KO.
And after the fight, he seems to be looking to fight Fury. And maybe if the result will be the same then there's nothing to proved anymore, maybe he would retire. But if any case, he can go down to CW for all the fun and glory and get all the belts.
Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19
Draw? Been watching it from start and I've seen the unofficial score card and Manny has the advantage but after all it's an unofficial score card. Though the last 3 rounds Barrios really do tried to throw as many punch as possible to chase the score but after all proud of Manny even though his speed is not like before or maybe he wasn't not just being careless. For me it's a good and close fight, it's good thing that even if it's a draw he still didn't lose the match and it's just to show others who doubt him that of his old age he can't compete with new boxers.
But just imagine if he won.
But just imagine if he won.
I don't know, but it seems that Barrios did some damage late and could have won by just a couple of points. Nevertheless, the judges might see otherwise and so it was a draw. In any case, Manny has proven that he can still bang with the best of them and might have won this fight.
So maybe what's next for him? Can we see a rematch? Maybe HE Turki might want to invest on Manny and then be the broker of another fight. And if that happens then this is a good news for boxing fans as Manny proved that he can bring fans to the arena.
I can agree to it because I experienced it before.
I have 2 reasons before:
1. It's either I can't sleep because I am excited about how to spend my winnings
2. Or I can't sleep because my winnings are not enough and I am still willing to play more, bet more, and expect to grow those winnings.

2. Or I can't sleep because my winnings are not enough and I am still willing to play more, bet more, and expect to grow those winnings.
Yes, that's true, both reasons are perfectly align. I mean when we are in the winning spree we can't sleep because we are excited and it like we take drugs and so we are in hyper mode and we want to play more and thinking that we can still win more money.
Or it's like when we put a bet just like what the OP says, let's say in a NBA games but due to time difference, we will have to wait for it and so we can't also sleep as we are nervous of our bet. In any case, gambling is like a drugs for us, not that we take it, but it's more of like a dopamine effect for us.
Should I post the latest sports betting odds & lines on DexWin everyday?
No, you don't need to post such betting lines here, for sure most of us gamblers here can go and check what the lines is. However, we still prefer to play on casinos that we have trusted already, specially crypto base casino. I haven't played on fiat base as I prefer to used crypto and obviously, everyone here is in the world of crypto and so I will assume that most of us here are also using any kind of crypto for gambling.
And it's really hard to distinguished the two, it's one huge gambling world that we live it, same games, same provider. It's just the manner on how to play them. Initially though, with crypto, we just need the address to deposit and withdrawal. But now like fiat base, we go on a mandated KYC submission.
Re: Will Bitcoin Hit $500k before the end of the decade as predicted by Jeremie Davi
Many analyst both well-known and unidentified predict Bitcoin will reach $500k or more in the next four years. While these numbers are certainly interesting and could encourage new adopters to start investing, these are just predictions, and we don't know if the results will be the same. I personally hope that happens but it's better to focus on the goal of increasing our Bitcoin holdings. I'm confident that whether it's in the next four or ten years Bitcoin will reach that point and provide attractive returns.
And there are a lot of people who loves to see this kind of predictions. I mean it might encourage some investors to pour their money and get excited, or this individuals are really doing a hype on Bitcoin itself.
But at the end of the day, as what we have said, this is just prediction and now one can predict the future. But we can do is just look at the historical logs and see where the price might goes. It might be in the next halving. So as you have said, maybe in the next ten years, when the market is really being appreciated by a lot of investors that we might see bitcoin hitting a staggering $500k.
I've just read that the most famous Saudi boxing promoter, Turki Alalshikh, is planning to organise a fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua:
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/boxing/anthony-joshua-jake-paul-fight-35579223
I don't think anybody would expect such a twist for Joshua. From his perspective, that would probably be the biggest money fight he could hope for. After he got brutally KO'ed by Daniel Dubois in his last fight, many fans have written him off.
I have my doubts whether Paul would actually sign a contract and fight AJ. Talk is cheap. And if he does, I would have serious doubts if the fight will be honest or rigged. Let's be honest, even if Joshua is past his prime and even if we give Paul credit for all his previous fights and acknowledge he's not just a YouTuber anymore - we all know that if both fight at 100%, Paul would get KO'd.

Perhaps what Paul can hold as his card is that he bet Mike Tyson, a heavyweight. But that is a totally different story though as AJ is very much active and although he might have lost some fights, he could still pull that trigger.
So not sure if Jake Paul is willing to do this, although as what we have said, Turki has a lot of money and so he can offer Jake money that he can't refuse. As for AJ, he might think that it is going to be an easy fight for him and obviously the money should also be good before he can accept this fight.
