Quote from: |MINER| on August 27, 2025, 10:03:30 PM

I would basically call three assets the ultimate savings tool in the context of the current world, and these three assets are bitcoin, gold, and the land proper. And if we look at the similarities between these three things, then there is one thing in common among all three, which is that these things are limited. There may be a difference in the maximum supply amount, but ultimately if we look at these three assets in this world, the number of our people is increasing day by day, but the number of these assets remains the same.

So I personally think that balancing savings between these three assets is the ultimate savings management. Not only can Bitcoin be called the ultimate savings tool, but gold and land property will also create a physical foundation.

Only bitcoin and real estate are assets with fixed supply. Meanwhile, gold is a finite resource and the supply of gold is increasing every year thanks to mining, recycling and the discovery of new gold mines.
Also, pay attention to their demand, supply is not the only deciding factor. Like gold, no matter how much the supply of gold increases, the price of gold will never decrease because the demand for gold is so great that it will never be saturated.

Of these three assets, bitcoin is the newest and most volatile, or arguably the riskiest. With such characteristics, bitcoin is more suitable for investment purposes than for use as a savings tool. A good savings instrument must meet the criteria of safety and stability, not be a volatile asset.

Quote from: |MINER| on August 27, 2025, 09:43:32 PM

I would disagree with you, because I personally think that bankroll management is a strategy, it is not really a strategy that will enable us to increase profits, it is actually a strategy that helps us stay within our loss limits.
If we want to get an easy answer to what strategy is, then the answer is that planning with a target in mind is called strategy. Of course, when bankroll management is done in gambling, it is done through planning, so it must be called strategy.
So from this perspective, I would say it's a strategy for controlling our losses, which changes over time and with our income, and can also change later based on the output of gambling.  So, considering all these aspects, I would definitely call it a strategy.

whatever rather I would agree with you, yeah bankroll management involves planning but here is the twist, bruh. I would classify it as risk management rather than a strategy to increase your profits. It is not about increasing your stack, it is about maintaining it through variance, ok?

Now come to strategy, it is all about situational analysis, line shopping, value models & edge. In the absence of a positive expected value, managing your bankroll merely prolongs your survival rather than enabling you to win, get it? So i could agree with you, while BM is strategic for survival, it is not the key to success.  Keep those tools apart, one helps you grow & the other protects you.

Still, I would say that winning this match is a consolation prize for Australia after enduring so much humiliation. But what I don't understand is, have Australia's batsmen forgotten their ability to perform like this in the previous matches?
They hadn't forgotten their ability in the previous matches. They were losing the momentum of the matches by losing the wickets frequently in the first two ODI matches. Australian batsmen had failed to show patience in 1st and 2nd matches. The target wasn't too big for Australia. They will play the next ODI series against India. It will be quite tough for them to win against India if the batsmen fail to show the patience.

I'd agree if it's about those luck based games, they need no strategy at all to win. You just do whatever the game is telling you to do and let the random generated result will come. But in skill based games, we need to strategize for us to win there. No amount of strategy can be done if we don't care for any of it. But for as long as we have ways to keep ourselves not falling for those losses, we can create our own strategy on how to deal with the losses and also for the wins that we're getting. Because if we just randomly do things and they didn't work for us, it might not really work at all.

When betting on games of chance, such as slots, the key is to control your emotions well. Good emotional control will greatly affect the final outcome you get. Because when you are unable to control your emotions well, this will allow you to experience a significant loss and cause you to miss out on the wins you should have gotten.

The best way to prevent deeper losses is to limit the amount of money you deposit each time you gamble, ensuring you don’t deplete all your funds at once. If this happens—spending all your money in one go—it becomes a loss that’s hard to accept and forget, a loss that will leave you truly frustrated.

Whichever strategy and type of acceptance that works for each of us, we should do it to avoid further damage to us emotionally and financially. Setting a budget may sound old but if it works, it works.
Actually I think that no kind of strategy or skill is needed in gambling to win, but this strategy where we will keep a certain fund limit before starting gambling, after which we will not gamble again, just like there will be another limit on our winning, then I think this strategy will at least not fail to reduce our losses.
And ultimately, we all know that our country has more potential, so it would be wise to adopt this kind of strategy to control our losses. And yes, I was able to bring my own uncontrolled gambling under control with this strategy So I don't know about the other, but this works for me.

This big victory would help Australia to forget their series defeat by 2 - 1. Personally, I wasn't expecting to see anything like this. Finally, Travis Head has shown his capability in today's match. Where Cameron Green has shown more powerful batting performance than Travis Head in the match. Unfortunately, Australia couldn't break their previous highest ODI score record. They were 3 runs short from their past record. They had scored 434 runs against South Africa in 2006 and lost that match Smiley.
Still, I would say that winning this match is a consolation prize for Australia after enduring so much humiliation. But what I don't understand is, have Australia's batsmen forgotten their ability to perform like this in the previous matches?
However, we were actually very satisfied to see all the top order batsmen of Australia perform well, especially after a long time, when we saw Travis Head perform well again. Now it remains to be seen how Australia's batsmen perform on the New Zealand tour.
No doubt this was consolation win for Australia because South Africa already won series, and they bring all bench power for this game, but Aussies took good advantage of this and punish them badly.
This is worst ever defeat for South Africa in ODI history while history will be written no one will add South Africa was playing with their reserve players they will write Australia punish them badly and won by biggest margin.
Four batsmen on crease with 3 centuries and 1 fifty while in bowling youngest ever bowler have 5 wickets for Aussies in this game as well.

In this match also, we can see that the Australian team could not create a very good position; they have already lost them. On the other hand, their score is only 154 runs.
Their requirement rate is constantly increasing; if this continues, I do not think the Australian team will be able to win this match, although Josh Inglis tried to put up a good fight with 74 runs but I also have doubts about how long he can survive.

Aiden Markram scored 82 runs in the last innings but yesterday he got out on duck but then South African team middle order is pretty amazing and they steadied the game. At the end of the innings they secured a good target. Tristan Stubbs played a very good innings and missed his chance to make a century but still helped the team and that is it.
 
If we look at the Australian bowling side, then Travis Head, who got four wickets in the last match, today (before the last Power Play), he delivered just two overs and had 12 runs, but did not take any wickets.

In the Top End T20 Series (Australia) tournament, Pakistan Shaheens have already come out to bat against Nepal, and after 18 overs and 1 ball, they have managed to score only 121 runs in which they have lost their eight wickets.

Honestly, I see this as a good performance by Nepal. And if they can bat a little better, I hope they can win this match. But since the bowling lineup of Pakistan Shaheens is better than that of Nepal, it is still not possible to say what they will do.  Roll Eyes
In this match, Pakistan Shaheens team gave Nepal team a target of 144 runs. If we look at Pakistan Shaheens team, it is quite strong but this target was not special but Nepal team who tried their best to win this match but still they lost by one run in which Dipendra Singh Airee scored 41 runs and Rohit Paudel scored 52 runs. Their performance was very good but there was also a very strong team ahead who bowled well and did not let their team lose. In comparison to them Irfan Khan scored 42 runs and was still playing. Their good teamwork and hard work gave them victory in this match. Despite being a strong team, their performance in this match was not special because Nepal team also tried their best to win but victory was not in their destiny.

The Test match between Australia A Women and India A Women has been ended for today and after the stumping, and currently we are seeing that the Australian women's team has scored only about 158 runs and they lost their 5 wicket which is not looks good for Australia A Women.

Where the Indian A women's team has scored 299 runs in the first innings, I am doubting that how much they could carry on on this match with their left five wickets. With this kinds of performance, I do not think they will be able to take much of a lead and that could also be the reason for their defeat  in this test match
Yes, absolutely because the hard work and efforts of the first innings have not been completed yet, due to which the match could not be completed. Their hard work has been done in 43 overs so far and if they play well, they can achieve the target and can also be successful. but they should not be careless now, which will make their victory easier and the match will also be victory.If their bowling is strong enough to take more wickets, then this match will go in their favour and they may even be successful. It now depends on the hard work of Australia Women as to how well they play because they now have only 5 wickets  which they have to meet the target and score some more runs which will give them an advantage in the second innings.

Nepal vs Pakistan Shaheens, 30 th game of Top End T20 Series was ended among both teams. Nepal effort was brilliant and they too close to beat Pakistan Shaheens team is they showed some good effort in batting line up. Nepal team lost this game by close margin 1 runs only. Pkaistan Shaheens team set 144 runs target in 20 overs by losing 9 wickets and Nepal team chased down 143 runs and all balls played. Irfan got player of game award because his struggle for Pakistan Shaheens team was very great and he made 42 runs in 36 balls and hitted three 4s and one 6s. Kami effort in bowling was outstanding and took down 3 wickets but unfortunately his effort was useless. Faisal and Wasim bowled with strong effort and Faisal took 2 wickets and wasim dismissed 2 wickets.

Congratulations Pakistan team again won game of Top End T20 Series.

I understand why we're pushing for more when we're in that winning side. That's because we feel lucky and likely to win more and that's the reason why we want to keep on doing it. And we're in the adrenaline rush during that time and that's the reason why we're trying to make something out of that momentum and if we're winning at that time, we think that we should go for more. But in the end, we realize that it's not as good as what we're thinking and we're only losing it because we didn't take the profits that should have been for us already.
There are many ways we could regret for not taking a decision that would have changed our lives. Making g profits is what everyone has been anticipating for but some  times, it will be good for us to not stress thing and take outcome the way they hit us so we don't have to ovr think and make stupid decision due to emotions.
Even though making some kind loses might be very painful for us, we ought to be smart and help ourselves not to become victim of circumstances. What we lost today can always be gained tomorrow if we are strong and focus.
And that's the kind of chasing losses that makes us do it, we think that we can regain the losses we've and so, we keep trying but ending up still with the same outcome.

Quote from: Grace333 on Today at 07:03:07 AM
It's a trap when you have no acceptance in yourself. And that's why it's one of the first move that most gamblers need to have. When we've lost, we just accept it so we can move on and look forward to another day. Because if not, you're right that we'll be trapped on it and that's where the worse things could happen. As you have said, more losses could come and you'll lose grip to yourself because you'll start to become emotional and that's going to make you have difficulty in quitting because the losses have added on top of your recent. And what you want to do is to recover it all which is unlikely to happen.

It is the truth, and TBH accepting a loss is harder than it sounds because your mind just wants to chase it back immediately. The thing is, the quicker we can mentally let it go, the less it lead us into something bigger. Once you start carrying yesterday loss into today, that is when poor decisions start coming up and it will definitely get messy..

For me, forgetting a loss is not about ignoring it, firstly you have to first accept the fact that you are comfortable losing the money you want to stack, if you are stacking only what you can loss then you can shut losses off mentally and easily.. Otherwise, you just keep feeding that emotional cycle and end up risking even more...
That is ego for us, we don't want to accept it because we feel bad and we just can't accept it rightaway. But if you're the type of gambler that can easily accept it, you're able to overcome that ego as a gambler.

Quote from: |MINER| on Today at 12:00:21 PM
You are right and this is why I believe that before we start gambling, we should have a strategy where we set an expected winning amount as well as an amount we can afford to lose, and always keep a realistic amount in place so that we don't exhaust our bankroll before we touch the winning amount every time. And besides, I think that if gambling is done this way, we won't suffer too much from the loss.

And if we lose control and repeatedly chase a limited amount, we will develop a gambling addiction, which will lead to even more terrible consequences.
Whichever strategy and type of acceptance that works for each of us, we should do it to avoid further damage to us emotionally and financially. Setting a budget may sound old but if it works, it works.

This is a timely topic at the moment, because as the days go by, more and more fiat currency is being printed, which is basically causing inflation. This is why the value of our money is decreasing even after the interest we get on the money we keep in the bank. However, we also have to remember that it would not be right if we held all our funds in bitcoin, because bitcoin has volatility, which can hinder us from using the money all the time because then we can face losses.

And that's why I think we should balance our assets between fiat currency, bitcoin, gold and as well as the land property so that we don't have too much of an impact from inflation.
Hold some in asset that can hedging against the inflation is a must and th rest in stable token. We have stable token who can be treated 1:1 as fiat. So why hold fiat? Just replace it with stable token, the earn APR or APY from there. Fiat is literally hopeless.

Surprinsgly once again Australian failed to filled the required in second ODI against Proteas, and thus African get thier dominance by 2-0 lead which is beyond most of us expections. After toss things were really in Aussies control, because they were able to departure some handosme number of early on vital batters significantly. But later middle order stuck longer and put such big number on board which was looking fair enough to be chased by Aussies.  but surprisingly once again head, marsh and Labuschagne failed to set early on momentum for his team, later inglis try all his best but things got out of thier reach and thus official with decent margin they lose the second match as well as series.

Another big defeat for Australia. I didn't expect to see the result of the ODI series like this. Josh Inglis was in the same situation today like Mitchell Marsh was in the first ODI match. Travis Head performance was completely flop in T20 series, and he isn't doing well in the ODI series too. On the other side, the youngster Matthew Breetzke is doing so well in ODI format for South Africa. After playing 4 ODI matches, he has one century and 3 fifties. Anyway, I will place a bet on SA in the next match. Now I'm expecting them to be whitewashed by SA.
In fact, Australia's two consecutive matches with South Africa have lost a big gap in Australia, especially in Australia, a strong team is being defeated with South Africa. Today, South Africa won by 2-0 in the series. South Africa has a relatively good bowling action than Australia, and Australia is being dismissed very fast in two innings. In a match, Australia could not finish until 5 ova. However, the statistics took place between South Africa and Australia in the last 20 matches where South Africa won five matches. South Africa is far ahead of Australia, especially in the last matches.

Always have it at the back of your mind that the world economy is faced with inflammatory pressures on the regular, developments approaches which gives an edge to the economy growth same time costs of goods increases and while the central banks keep printing more monies, the fiats looses it values of purchase power. And worse comes to it if your government is more reliance on importation than exports, then is a doom to cause more recession outputs where the fiats suffers devaluations.

Every market structure or economy system has it own pros and cons, bitcoin market is volatile and so also is the gold with their own potential to store values against inflations but best safe for diversification of assets and not a source on the regular extraction of income to sort your immediate needs. That's why we also need the cash in the bank so that we don't for emergency need obstruct our investment plans in the long term. Considering real estate is also a good one since it appreciates in values as much inflations appreciates too.

Quote from: |MINER| on Today at 09:03:58 PM
Taking a break from gambling is good when you notice that gambling isn't favouring you for that moment but it you're winning then you shouldn't be taking a break because that period might be when your luck is working for you and if you take a break, then that means your luck might stop and when you want to begin gambling again, it won't be favouring you. Taking a break when you're losing can help you to regain back some strength which will then make your situation to change from losing to winning but there's no guarantee because you can still take a break but nothing changes.
In general, I will say here that it is not like that if we win in gambling it always favors us, but sometimes it is seen that even if we win in gambling, other people in the family are not happy at you just because of gambling, and it is creating a distance between them and you. Even then, I will say that taking a break from gambling will be a good decision.
Because it is only a source of entertainment, it is not such an important thing that we have to be in it. Sometimes, you can take a break from gambling for your own mental peace.
I agree with this very much, nothing in excess is good, and especially in the case of gambling, gambling easily puts people in a deep temptation, where people cannot easily get out of gambling even if they want to, and if someone does not intentionally get out of gambling, then the chances of him becoming addicted to gambling are very high. Gambling will never bring you permanent or guaranteed success, and in the long run, you will only lose from it, because most of the time you will face losses and as such you will never be able to benefit in the long run. Therefore, it is very important to have the mentality of abstaining from it, you have to get yourself out of it at the right time, you have to always keep such control within yourself.

Diversifying your investments is crucial, as sticking to a single investment further increases risks. Fiat currencies cannot maintain their value against inflation, so investing is essential. Investments carry risks, and caution is essential, as not every investment will meet expectations. Thorough analysis is essential, and all risks should be considered.

It's not wise to rush into investing just because a fiat currency is losing value. Making an investment decision is not easy, but thorough research should be conducted before making any decision.

Actually, it is easy to make 10-20% profit while gambling, but there is a rule of the casino platform that you have to wager at least 2x the amount you deposit, otherwise you will not be able to withdraw your funds. So let's start gambling, although it is very easy to make 10-20% profit, when you go to fulfill that wagering, you can lose your funds. So why should you be satisfied with only 10-20% profit when there is a risk of losing your entire fund. If you can come back from there successfully 5-10 times, your balance will be 2x. But if you lose once, you will lose your entire fund. So I think since there is a very high risk here, I should not be satisfied with 10-20% profit, my personal opinion.
In this case, I would say that when you play casino slot games, it would probably be normal to expect 2x profit. Because it is actually true that the risk of making 10-20% profit in casino slot games is the same as the risk of making 2x. 

But when we come to sports betting, I think it would be wise to expect a profit of 10 to 20% because in this case we will select lower odd matches for betting and in most cases it is seen that the predictions are correct in lower odd matches. In this case, if we try to make more profit, we have to bet on high-odd games and there is a high risk of losing. So, in the case of sports betting, 10 to 20 percent can be an ideal amount.
That's a good point you have made here.There is a great difference between the two game slots and sports betting . The slots betting has to do with chance and the chance of hitting 2x within a second is there. However the possibility of also losing within a second is also there. Making it a game of luck. When it comes to sports betting,  analysis, form and statistics gives us a great hedge and as such 10 -20% profit is possible, playing games with low odds feel more safe. The losses mostly come in when we start chasing after big odd as a result of greed
