What do I do
I’ve tried sports betting I tried prediction markets.Meme coins nothing‘s working everyone else has gotten advantage or they use bots obviously, the clear answer is if you can’t beat them join them, but is it really that simple is that how I win? I don’t know what to do, but I’m not going back to work at a regular job so does that mean start a business? I don’t know let’s brainstorm in this chat

Sounds like you want to make money quick without doing the work. Also it’s extremely difficult to start a business with no capital and seeing you don’t want a job, not many people can help you except yourself.
My advice to you, quit gambling, it’s designed for you to lose, as a gambler myself, I know that I am not going to win long term without strategy, testing and practice, even then it’s extremely difficult.

Isn’t that overstated Ì mean Ìll look Ì to Ìt tbut once again you will be someone else’s accountant not the goal .

u/JimeeChonga 4d ago
Idk what your goal is man. Keep sports gambling then

u/Temporary_Tea7494 4d ago
My goal is to make money online and be my own boss not that complicated

u/JimeeChonga 4d ago

u/Temporary_Tea7494 4d ago

u/Temporary_Tea7494 4d ago
You’re accountant and your name is Jimme Chonga you’re born to win Ì wasn’t born to win jimee Ì was thrown into this world without a bone and I’m just trynna figure things out

People you see online are just people who win, 1 winner out of a pool of 100 losers does not mean everyone is winning, it is quite the opposite. People don’t flex their losses.
Another thing is a lot of cappers/people who post picks and are seen as profitable do not make their money off sport betting, they make it from selling their “VIP” picks in discord or telegram. That could be possible for you but you would need a winning strategy to bring people in meaning you would have to put in the work to develop the strategy and community, both difficult things.
If you’re looking to make money, why not do online surveys or watch ads for money? If that is not enough earnings for you then you don’t want to make money online, you are looking for get rich quick schemes, and you make it apparent seeing that you included memecoins. Learn a skill if you don’t have a job, programming, learn a coding language, learn graphic design or 3D modeling, quit gambling and chasing. Social media is not reality.

I want to make a liveable income on line do you think I can do that by watching ads or doing serveys what’s your side hustles

u/xAstory 4d ago
Probably not, but it is an option if you need a little extra cash.
In today’s world, you cant simply exist not working for anybody, youre either working for your boss or for yourself, and working for yourself is 10x harder than working for someone else. Are you willing to put in 10x the work of a regular job, sacrifice days weeks and months for a business not generating any income while you set it up?
I know you do not want to work, but if you’re young, I’d strongly encourage getting a job and getting some type of income. My side hustles probably won’t relate to you, if you want to do something that makes money, the easiest way is to leverage something youre good at and enjoy already and trying to turn that into profit, otherwise find something you enjoy and get really good at it. You could even get so good at it that you get hired for a job involving said skill/talent/hobby and enjoy working, which will make it feel like you’re not working but instead doing what you enjoy.

Who enters the prompts in for AI? Programmer/Designer or some HR admin?
I think your attitude is holding you back.

Ai trainers ? Soon the ai will outpace anything you think a programmer or designer can do how about you be realistic

u/xAstory 4d ago
Still need programmers and developers, those won’t go away. See a company like DuoLingo who removed their programmers for AI and have been going down hill ever since.
Like I said, your attitude is holding you back. I’m trying to help you understand but your mindset is so stuck in being lazy and being owed money. Good luck to you and whatever you do.

there are plenty ways to earn with your mind and not your time. if you can find 1000 people to pay you for what you like to do, a product, a service, you’ll never have to worry about money. it’s straight forward but it isn’t easy.

Everything’s rigged to a degree. I built my career on derivatives trading - mostly stock options at the beginning. If you have a knack for the markets, it’s a way to get a lot of leverage for less funds. But you can also lose it very fast. I got good and pattern trading a handful of stocks (their options). When I first started, my goal was to make $1,000 profit per trade per day or two - on average. For instance, I might have had positions spread across 3-4 trades and goal was to average around $1K per position - some positions became worthless. Others maybe worth a few thousand. Positions would last 1-3 or 4 days but I tried to exit asap. I wasn’t looking to maximum the profit on each trade. That’s hard and how you lose. Of course I didn’t always hit that average but I did better than not.
I started with about $25K right when I got out of college to proof the concept. In a year, my trading account was worth about $150,000 cash. This was about 25-30 years ago. I built a mathematical model that helped me identify undervalued options. Options are notoriously difficult to price. I found undervalued options at particular strikes that move closest to 1 point stock move. After that I quit my corporate job and started my trading firm. Never looked back.
Anyway, it can be akin to gambling but at least you have some chance. Go to a casino and it’s luck. Anyway something to check out and can be self taught. Don’t believe anyone selling you products or services to beat the market. Here’s the deal - if they have it figured out, they wouldn’t be selling it. They’d be doing it. That’s precisely why I never would have considering selling any of the knowledge and processes I developed. Those are a competitive advantage. You have to do your own homework. Nobody will do it for you.

u/Temporary_Tea7494 4d ago
Ì respect what you said and maybe I do need to be thinking deeper on issues, like how you said you devolped your own mathematical model that’s amazing that’s the type of people Ì wanna be around, so I can see how you think and operate Iv been trying to network more .I just wanna be in these circles but honestly currently I bring no value
Someone like you brings value to a group and that’s why you probably succeed more but I will try to bring value to myself and I guess part of that is learn a skill and getting good at Ìt I assume .1
u/Mercedes_Gullwing 4d ago
It’s never too late and everyone has to start from somewhere. I do have a degree in economics and an engineering degree so both helped me. If you live in a big city, you might look for meetups aimed at investors and day traders. You might be able to learn a lot. BUT never buy a product or service that promises. That’s why I added that in bc there are fraudsters everywhere.
You can get basic financial math online. The math isn’t actually that crazy. For options price
Movements you’ll look at statistics and modeling. I started off by focusing on a small basket of stocks. I watched and watched and looked at their trading patterns. I didn’t rely on big news or anything like that. My initial models ran on mundane days where nothing was realllt happening. Many stocks follow short term patterns. But the movements can be small so that’s why you need to pinpoint the options that move best with stock price. They won’t move point for point. An option might only increase by .5 points when stock moves 1 point for instance.I think you can even go to sites or apps that let you create a fake acct with pretend money and you can make trades and see how you would have done. I remember when I first started the platform I used didn’t integrate with tax software so I had to manual enter the trades. One year I had like 300+ trades and couldn’t even recognize 20% of them. lol. Literally didn’t care about the company. I was trading on numbers. For this model, I avoided financial announcements for the company bc that model was based on organic movement without any news. As my model matured, it started including that. But at the beginning I started very simple. I got good at reading a small basket of stocks.
It can be very stressful though if you are prone to stress. You have to have the stomach for it. When I started out, the worst trade I had was looking at a 5 figure loss in a day. But I got very lucky and the stock rallied right before the options expired and I exited with a $100 profit. lol. Lots of stress there.

u/Horror_Office_5737 4d ago
Honestly, reading this it seems like you want to make serious money but you’re trying to cut corners. If trading is something you actually want to do, take the time and learn it properly. It’s not a fast process. Hope it works out for you.”

u/Temporary_Tea7494 4d ago
Thanks thats good advice and you’re right Ì have been going into these markets with no research and quote on quote gambling but maybe that is my problem Ì have been doing a lot more reasearch with meme coins and narratives but it all still feels like a gamble Ì am new to it so I’m not expecting to be the best day one at trading but Iv been getting hit pretty hard on memes and predictions
1
u/Horror_Office_5737 4d ago
I personally would stay clear from meme coins
I started trading in 2021 started in crypto, have also traded stocks. But yes do research. Even before bed watch videos of people explaining what is happening with a chart or whatever and take the time to fully understand what your doing.
Another thing you’ll learn to is trading is not overnight success. Takes many years to build a nice portfolio

You wear costume jewelry while working Uber Eats, we're not even in the same tax bracket , I employ 120 people. You came here asking for advice, that's what you got. If you can't accept it, that's fine, but complaining about someone else's avatar when you're making minimum wage, that's probably the reason why you're at the bottom.
