Pardon me for this response but I have to seek clarification from you. First of all, you are addressing a newbie, maybe someone still very new to this entire concept. If I may ask, do you expect him to post like a pro? If you say his post quality is low, I want you to elaborate on how you expected him to post so we can rate him as a good poster.

One thing we have failed to realise in this forum is that newbies will always post like one and using your standard of post quality to judge them might be the reason many of them are resorting to seeking help from AI in order to impress people. As much as possible, we should try and remember  how difficult it was for us when we started. Blockchain technology is an entirely new concept to many people, so we should manage our expectations from people properly so that there could be continuity because many of them are running away siting that here is too harsh. Reading the rules and all the links you shared are not enough... most people learn through practice.

Loosing streak can be very terrible for a gambler and worse when risk management is not in place. I have experienced it many times and I try never to be in such situation again. I have been a able to find a way of retaining my sanity whenever I find myself enmeshed in loosing streak. I apply the pattern of reducing my gambling amount by half whenever I lose 3 rounds in a row and when I get to the 5th loss in a raw, I take a break. It can be few weeks break or few days break but I will stay away from gambling for a while to put my psychology in check. Others might have their ways of handling this, so I hope to learn too.

I have actually thought about the possibilities of casinos sponsoring programs and policies in the rehabilitation of gambling addicts, unfortunately, I have not seen anywhere such is done. The feasibility of such project is not also there because they will be exonerated by their caveat of "gamble eesponsibly" which is visible in all casinos. On the other hand, if they embark on such project, and attach some monetary benefits, even people who are not gambling addicts will want to benefit from it whereas the real addicts might even be ashamed to come forward because most addicts do not usually know that they have problem.

Inasmuch as this sounds good, I don't see how realistic it can be because a lot of variables will be at play such as no casino will be willing to accept responsibility of what happens to any gambler.

Many people have similar experience including myself. I have long made peace with myself and I will advice you to do the same because you cannot change the past, just take the lesson and make the future better. On that note, what are you doing now that you know that Bitcoin is the way forward? Bitcoin is still very fine for investment now, there is a fixed supply and there is halving event that will always create the needed shortage of supply to push demand up. It might look too high for some people but it is not really high, you can buy a fraction per time and continue building from there. So like I said, it is not something to regret but an opportunity to gain experience. So cheer up and continue building.

Just like you rightly stated, many factors are used in rating the strength of a team or player. Those you mentioned are correct and are part of what I look at in making my selection. I will only add few others for the sake of this discussion.

• For a football team, you have to add the home and away factor, match schedules(if they have external competition such as UCL), the weather condition(teams going away to where the weather is different from theirs will be affected by the change of environment), their recent form which comprise of their winning or losing mentality and ease of scoring or conceding. There are some teams that will be in their top scoring form, just like Arsenal was towards the end of last season.
• For individual events such as tennis,  weather condition can also play a part as well as recent form. If the player have been playing in high spirit, that will definitely show in the results. Also if they have busy schedule without enough rest, it will show in their performance

So weather condition, match schedule and recent form are part of the things I need to add to the list you already gave.

It is only someone gambling under the influence of alcohol or perhaps drugs that will place a bet of 266.72 BTC to win 13.34 BTC. Maybe BC.game intentionally program their system that way to fight against gambling under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  Good a thing you know the maximum you can possibly win, if you decide to donate funds to the casino which is good for their business continuity, then your bet amount can exceed the maximum win.

My simple advice is that if 13.34 BTC is too small for you to win in a single set, place several bets each of whose win equal the maximum win and you will be fine.

Nevertheless, BC.game might just be fighting gambling addiction or money laundering through these very case of which it might seem not right when viewed superficially, but I do not have a problem with that because at the point of submitting your bet, max win will be shown and if you go ahead to submit the bet, then thank you for the wonderful donation and if not a donation, your eye will clear later

Meanwhile, in my humble opinion, this issue does not qualify to be a reputation issue.

You can help us with more detail information so we can benefit from such information considering that you are from a poor family, so how were you able to invest in Bitcoin or you earned it through other means for which I will love to know. 2014 was pretty early in Bitcoin for those who could invest in it, the reason I made this response is your situation which makes it rarely possible for you to have spared funds you can hold in Bitcoin amidst family challenges.

I learnt about Bitcoin during those days there were restriction to FX in our country, so I had to ask questions on how to send money across borders. Bitcoin came through for me as I could send money with ease. Buying it was a little challenging though because it was mainly through agents, most of which were scammers. It was when Luno, NairaEX and Binance became popular that it was easier.

Each time I look at my wallet in those earlier days, I feel like crying because of the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through me yet I didn't hold. I was just buying and using to pay for subscription and other services abroad. Some of them were even invested in projects that turn out to be scam. My biggest regrets is not holding any of those Bitcoin. By now I would have been comfortable financially. 

if everything play back again, I will rather hold most of those Bitcoin that use them the way I did.

My best time in Bitcoin is now because I am now holding Bitcoin as I have decided that I will never run out of Bitcoin again.

Bitcoin is the future of finance so the price and influence will be huge as time progresses and as we experience more Bitcoin halving, the scarcity will increase leading to higher prices.

I'm not a religious leader but I have received betting game from dream which I played and won, although I played small amount because I was skeptical about it. So, I will not doubt the possibility of spiritual people receiving gambling tips from from vision or whatever spiritual means. The only area I was wondering is the consistency and reliability of such pattern because I still remember receiving other games in the dream that failed. However,  those that will work, there are usually signs that they will work and it requires mastery to understand and use the signs well.

Banning the spiritual man from gambling is a sheer waste of time because he can just use the wife or any of the relative or church member to place the game for him. He can equally sign up in international companies and become the latest millionaire in that country.

So should you find any new investor, will the project continue? If yes, are you making effort to secure new funding or this might be the end of this great idea? I did not mean to propound conspiracy theories to explain the situation but I will take your further emphasis on your first post to be the reality. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Meanwhile I hope and pray the family of your investor are able to overcome their problems and get back better.

Even though I cannot substantiate this line of thought, I really feel it has something to do with the authorities. The closure was sudden considering that they rarely even started. Every business takes sometimes to become profitable and a business of this magnitude should have envisaged some challenges at the beginning if there were no external factors at play here. So my best guess is that they ran into problems with the authorities which might have made the investors incur some losses in a business that is just getting started.

Actually there is nothing that is impossible but for the case of another cryptocurrency rivalring Bitcoin, that is close to being impossible. Bitcoin have come a long way, survived so many challenges and it is looking like it has not even started considering the present realities where many institutions and governments are keying into it. Having another cryptocurrency to pass through those lengthy and rigorous processes is something difficult to imagine.

I understand that most of you are usually brainwashed by new projects that promise to solve their sometimes imaginary problems with Bitcoin. They come with all manners of conjectures with the sole purpose of wooing innocent investors through promise of earning stupendous ROI. But in the end, they will deliver nothing and work away with fat envelopes.  If you have been entangled in such fantasy, please wake up and start building your Bitcoin portfolio because we are just getting started.

The home/away is generally called home advantage and it is a very significant factor in soccer. It is like when someone comes to fight you in your house, there is this level of confidence and moral justification you will have to beat up the person in order to save your reputation. Teams playing at home enjoys this confidence, huge support from their fans and in most leagues, the officiation tends to be in favour of the home team. There are several leagues in which the home team mostly win the match, and this could also be linked to how advanced or serious the league is.

However, there are some teams that do not really care about the home advantage. For example, teams like Manchester City,  Real Madrid, Bayern Munic, PSG and others do not really care if their opponents are at home, the win anywhere.

The first instant in which the scammer will offer someone a job and be taking the money is possible but is not sustainable because anyone working and did not receive payment after a week or month will surely know its a scam and have the choice of stopping, this was you only waste your time and energy for the time you worked for free.

However, the second instant of requesting money from someone in the expectations of more profits or reward is easy to spot as a scam at first sight. This is because the widespread awareness of not sending money to anyone for anything not verified; people are very conscious of that so not many people will fall for such scam.

I have been approached, on several occasions, by scammers using different formats, some with job offers, business proposals, and even investment opportunities.  It is not usually difficult to see the sign of scam based on experience anyway. The moment I notice a sense of urgency, unrealistic promise, or incoherent idea, I know it's a scam.

Robert Kiyosaki is known for catching fun with Bitcoin price prediction, maybe he derives joy doing that and his way of  farming engagement. I wouldn't advice anyone to take him seriously or use his projection as investment advice because I have lost count of how many times he has been wrong about the price of Bitcoin. One good thing is that Bitcoin have a way of humbling everyone because it is highly unpredictable.

I actually enjoyed playing Bournemouth on goals last because not only were they conceding goals, they were also scoring. Anytime I saw them at home, I was confident to bet them to score over2.5 goals and also both teams score depending on who they are playing. Nevertheless, if they must do well in the new season, they have to do something drastic about their defense as well as the goalkeeper and I think they have taken a bold step signing Alex Paulsen. He is a promising young man that can easily adapt to the team so with time he will gather the necessary experience to withstand the demands of the English Premiership.  He reminds me so much about when Onana was still very consistent.

Gambling is a source of income for a greater percentage of gamblers but it is not ideal as an active source but passive source of income. As someone who believe that the primary motivation for a gambler is to make money, I still see gambling as a great source of passive income. Those who have won decent amount of money from gambling can confirm how helpful such wins can be and the quality of joy they bring. Unless as an agent, I will not advice anyone to make gambling a career because the winning is not regular and predictable.

Thank you for sharing the same views and adding more substance to my position. It actually feel so strange when posts about the declined popularity of the forum pops up every now as if the forum is ending any time soon. The more we make the forum all about signature campaign, even though this is also important, the more we kill the fun of being here. The reduction in traffic is understandable and completely natural because most of the products banned in this forum were among the major contributor to the forum traffic. Everything cannot automatically return to normal but will require some time for the traffic to come back when more projects find here worthy of their marketing. We can also see that within this same period, many new companies, mostly in the casino businesses, have also joined the forum and more will still come.

As far as cryptocurrency is concerned, the forum is outstanding, the bounty section is bubbling and new members are join the forum at an alarming rate even though there also a few people retiring from the forum too.

Personally I do not think that the popularity of this forum has diminished so much, what I see is just a reduction in the number of companies coming to do marketing in the forum following the ban of mixers. Even though I still believe that mixers were in line with the vision of Satoshi, it is unfortunate that the powers that be consider it a threat to their control of global finance. It is expected that the ban of mixers will definitely affect the forum but I have the confidence that in coming years, the forum would have evolved and completely return to the high traffic platform it used to be.

In summary, I don't think there's nothing anybody can do to change the natural process the forum is passing through. In due time, more companies will see the importance of the forum and will surely consider the forum for their marketing, this will in turn bring more participants here.

Congratulations OgNasty. You are a popular figure in this forum and your contribution and impact is visible. 13 years is huge and I want you to be proud of what you have contributed to this forum, the recent being the 100 pushups per day challenge that is helping many in their health already.  As a donator,  you helped in making this forum what it is today. We are proud of you and once again, congratulations.
