Re: The "Lottery Ticket" Mentality

When I don’t have enough bankroll, I tend to go for higher odds so that when I get lucky and hit it, I’ll have enough capital to start a more serious sports betting journey. Just a small parlay, maybe $1, but the return is at least $1000, and if that wins, that $1000 is already enough for me to build a bankroll for a long-term goal. But honestly, all of that is just a goal that hasn’t been achieved yet, because winning x1000 in sports betting is harder than in slots.

Re: [Boxing] Mario Barrios vs Manny Pacquiao WBC Welterweight Title - July 19

Even without a title on the line, a Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather rematch would still be a blockbuster. The star power alone is enough to draw fans in. Rumors suggest Floyd might be facing financial issues, and if true, a bout with Manny could be the perfect solution, a win-win scenario. Plus, given Mayweather’s current fighting style, he no longer poses the same physical threat, making him a relatively safe opponent for Manny.

No doubt about that, but neither of them has a title right now. Mayweather would just need to come back and make the fight official, not just another exhibition match. We don’t know if it will actually happen, but when money talks, everyone listens. Let’s just hope for some positive news soon because Manny can still draw a huge crowd, easy money for him and his opponent, and honestly, everyone would want a chance to fight him.

Can you share these articles?

In any case, there was an interview with Floyd Mayweather where he said that he will not fight in a rematch against Pacman because they are not only very much old already but this might also destroy their legacy in the sport of boxing. This might be the first time where Floyd is not chasing a big purse hehehehe.

i think this is the article.

Quote
"It's hard to talk about a fighter who retired already," Pacquiao said. "If he comes out [of retirement], then go sign the contract and we'll fight. Let's fight again, if he want. I have no problem with that, I'm active now and don't pick my opponent. I fight them all in my weight division."

But I think there was no reply from Mayweather or a statement that he is willing to come out of retirement and give Manny the rematch he deserves.
Well, if this will happen (which I doubt), it will rock the world of boxing again.

Re: Bitcoin still number 1

Bitcoin was never replaced from the number one spot, so saying “still” number one kinda sounds like it had real competition, which it never really did. It’s always been the top.

Even though some altcoins are growing or have their own development, they’ve never truly outperformed Bitcoin in the long run.

It’s not just about price, it’s about trust, adoption, and what Bitcoin represents in the whole crypto space. Altcoins come and go, but Bitcoin is what most people choose to HODL because it’s the most established and battle-tested asset in the industry.

Re: No Amount is Affordable in Gambling

I think that any penny spent on gambling is a money the gambler have decided to sacrifice with the hope of getting a bigger amount and not because he can afford to lose it.


It's normal to aim for a win, that's the goal, right? But if we're always expecting to win without considering the losses, that's no longer realistic. honestly, there are people who gamble just for fun. Like in sports betting, some place small bets just to enjoy the game. Win or lose, it doesn’t really matter to them because it’s money they can afford to lose. They're not thinking of turning it into 10x or 100x profit. That’s probably how the majority of casual bettors think.

Re: Can Bitcoin Survive In A Deflationary Economy?
by
stadus
on 24/07/2025, 15:45:03 UTC


I’m just trying to understand if Bitcoin can really replace fiat money while keeping an economy active, especially since deflation is usually seen as a risk in traditional systems.

This probably won’t happen because the government won’t allow it.

However, if inflation gets out of hand especially to the point of hyperinflation in some countries, your safest hedge might be putting money into Bitcoin. It won’t necessarily bring huge profits, but it can help preserve value. Just be realistic with your expectations.

The best way to fight inflation is by growing your money, that means finding ways to earn more so inflation doesn’t catch up to you. One way is to start a business aligned with your passion. Businesses can adjust prices when costs rise, but if you’re just an employee relying on a fixed income, it becomes much harder.

Re: How do you see slots game?

If you're new to this you hit the jackpot with crazy luck. I don't know why but Slots feels to me like gimmick nothing more than this.
What exactly do you mean by "gimmick"? are you saying the games are rigged? If that's what you're implying, I don’t think that’s the case.
They don’t really need to rig anything, slots are already designed with a high house edge, and that alone is enough to make sure the casino profits over time.

Yes, players can win every now and then, but that’s just part of how the game is meant to keep people hooked. When it comes to long-term results, we have no real advantage. No one’s ever been able to beat the system when it comes to slots.

Re: Does the novelty wear off?

Rich people gamble with a different mentality, it's normal to think that gambling would be less entertaining to them or not much of challenge... Unlike someone that's not rich or average gambles to make profit, most rich people just gamble for the thrill and they still find satisfying when they win... To some it's addiction that's part of their probably before they got rich, everyone's mentally towards gambling can't be the same
Most of them probably just see gambling as entertainment, while for average people like us, we gamble like we’re trying to make a living out of it, or at least we make it our goal. Sometimes we even end up having unrealistic expectations.

That’s the big difference. And that’s also why most gambling addicts are poor, because the mindset is wrong from the start. Instead of treating it as just a game, they treat it like a way out, and that’s where the problem starts.

Being rich doesn’t mean you have unlimited money. Rich people who gamble just do it at a different scale. Like for us, we might already feel the thrill betting $100, but for them, it's more like $100k or even up to $1 million. The feeling of excitement is still the same, it’s just the amount that changes. But no matter how much you have, the risk of addiction and even going bankrupt is still there.

Re: France Wants People to Work More for Less

on 22/07/2025, 12:59:14 UTC
There’s a law in our country that says benefits already given to workers can’t be taken back, but they can still add more. what’s happening now is the government wants to remove some holidays so people will work more.

I don’t think that really helps workers, especially if they’re already okay with what they’re earning. Those holidays are important too as it’s when they get to spend time with their families. So, a lot of people will definitely complain about it. But if it’s the government’s policy to boost the economy, then it’s tough to go against it. At the end of the day, if we’re employees, we just follow what the law says.

Re: What Does "Being Rich" Even Mean Anymore?

For me, being rich means having freedom like being able to do what you want, enjoy time with your family and not stress about money.

if you define being rich as just having a lot of money but you can't even enjoy it or spend it freely, then what’s the point?

Some people have all the money but live in fear, can’t walk around alone, always worried about getting robbed.
That’s not real freedom, and honestly, I don’t consider that truly being rich.

I don’t really get why Mayweather is suddenly being brought up. Yeah, he beat Pacman, but he’s been retired and there’s no sign he’s coming back.

After seeing Pacman’s fight with Barrios, you can tell he’s still tough to beat. Since he already tested himself against a taller opponent, maybe next time he can go against someone closer to his size, so we can see more of a toe-to-toe kind of fight, not the usual defensive style.

And honestly, no need to worry about his age. Manny’s already proven that age is just a number for him.

Re: Chances to buy Bitcoin back

Not the right time to sell right now, this looks like just a minor correction. Bitcoin will likely rise again and might even break its current ATH. If you’re not a day trader, don’t focus too much on the short term. Think long term.

Just my advice.. when Bitcoin is in a bullish phase, it’s not the time to sell unless you’ve already hit your profit target. As for me, I’m holding until the end of the year. I’ve got a feeling the market will stay bullish. Best time to sell is when the bear market starts showing signs, not now.
I've opened a spot margin position now Doge/USDT - talking about day trading...

Just to buy and just to hold seems sensible but too boring...

You’ve got a spot margin position on DOGE/USDT, and now you’re asking about Bitcoin. Just keep in mind, they move differently. Altcoins are way more volatile. They usually follow Bitcoin’s movement, sometimes with a delay during an uptrend, but when BTC drops, altcoins tend to dump even harder.

Re: Have you been addicted to gambling in the past.

Many times, and honestly, I think there’s still a bit of addiction in me now. I was able to pull myself out on my own, just by learning from my mistakes, and I’m still learning.

When you’re gambling constantly, addiction is always around the corner. Sometimes you risk more than you should, and only realize it after the loss hits. It’s a long process, and as long as you keep gambling, you’re always at risk.

Sometimes the easiest way to stop gambling is when you literally don’t have money to gamble anymore. But hopefully it doesn’t come to that ‘cause that already means you hit rock bottom.

Re: How can you use ChatGPT for day trading

Not only that but also I saw some ads that writes 'let AI trade for you'. Have you been seen something like this? If you are a trader, you might noticed it also.
The ads of "let AI trade for you", is not for beginners but unfortunately some beginners who want to cut corners and not put in the work to learn would see it as a short cut, they end up becoming halfbaked traders. They even lose their drive for trader. Sooner than later you will see that they open a telegram channel and claim to be selling the best signals which are fake.
So in short, they’re scammers. If you know it’s fake and still sell it, that’s a crime. That’s why you really can’t trust anyone in trading. No tool out there will make you consistently profitable if you’re just relying on that alone.

At the end of the day, it’s always us making the decisions. If there’s one thing we should focus on, it’s developing our own skills. AI can help, but it’ll never be smarter than a well-trained human when it comes to trading.

And it's already starting now...
Tough situation for the ones affected.. imagine losing an account with millions of followers just like that. That’s a hard lesson for them, especially if that was their main source of income. For sure they’re regretting what happened now.

For sure there’ll be another batch coming. Some might’ve promoted illegal gambling in the past and already stopped, but I think they’re still gonna be held accountable for it.
Good move by the government, and I think Meta only acted because the government requested it.
That we don’t really know yet, but we’ll just have to wait and see how things develop. If more influencers start getting their accounts banned, it’ll definitely send a message to the rest, if they still value their accounts, they better stop promoting illegal gambling.

Seems that he will just enjoy his remaining years to play, with the inuries he got chasing ring might no longer a mission to him, just play and keep moving forward, not unless blazers will find ways to equipt him with decent support, we can't conclude yet as the next season yet to start and they've got till the trade deadline to push for good players who can support Dame if they still wanted to be competitive in chasing the ring.
He just got unlucky with injuries, but it’s all good. He earned well during his career thanks to that max contract, and retiring with the team that gave him that deal would be a great way to end it. Of course, he still has the skills, but his body isn’t the same anymore. even so, just having him on the roster can draw in fans and help boost viewership.

What's next for Usyk? Parker (currently holding an interim WBO belt) is an obvious choice, but it's not necessarily a super-exciting fight, so I wouldn't be too shocked if Usyk and his team decided to go with something else.

He has an upcoming fight next year.
Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk trilogy fight April 18 2026

Maybe after that fight, Usyk might start thinking about retirement. Honestly, there’s no real competition left for him in this division. He’s got nothing to prove anymore, he’s winning in dominant fashion every time. At this point, there’s just no challenge left for him.

Why are people so worried about quantum computing? Bitcoin’s already a massive network, and if there really was a serious threat, I’m pretty sure the big investors and developers would already be on top of it.

And it’s not just Bitcoin that would be affected, banks and other financial systems would be in trouble too. So instead of stressing over something that’s not even here yet, better to focus on accumulating and enjoy the ride this bull run might bring.

Quantum computing is still in development, it’s not a real threat for now, even if it becomes one in the future.
