1041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Claw Machines: a category of gambling? on: April 24, 2024, 08:13:06 PM
In addition to this, Even 3rd party game providers like slot games doesn’t disclose their source code for the games which is why there’s no way to verify the fairness of the game. They are considered as gambling not because fairness is available but rather people risk money in exchange for a chance to win.

Talking about fairness, it is something that is difficult to achieve in gambling and people will do anything to win. Both game providers and players have something in common because what they are looking for is victory, so verifying fairness is something that is difficult for us to achieve.
People who gamble don't look at the fairness factor, but as you said, they think that risking money in gambling can give them a chance to win. Despite the fact that gambling is more about luck and not every time we are in a favorable condition.

Absolutely correct mate, fairness in gambling isn't distributed uniformly. All casino and gambling always make the winning possibility minimal, so that they can make more profit while giving you the hope of making huge wins. One of the best advertising strategy use by gamble developers is the ability to make available huge wins that can be won using a small stack, but in real sense it would be very difficult to make that win, and that's why gamblers keep trying their lucks.The company behind the claw machine is smart for making a eye catching design, usually for more of the youths. However luck is just the basic explanation to the outcome, of any gambling game  and not skill.

Most people think life is a bed of roses where you can get anything you want so easily,  well some people are born with silver spoon while some are  not. Those who are not born with silver spoon instead of them to work or hustle genuinely they rather go into things that won't stress them,  things that are not genuine,  things that will lead to destruction,  things that are not worth it.
Most of our youth are so lazy to the extend that the houses they live in they can't clean it,  talk more of going to look for a job that will fetch them money. Like I said earlier most of our youth don't come from a rich background and yet they select the type of job they will do, a job that the least person in the society can do,  yes everyone knows that some job are hard but this category of people am talking about do not prefer anyone at all. 
However,  since this set of people have decided not to work for somebody or under person.  I think they should start learning cryptocurrency form their comfort zone at least it will save them stress but more time.


well I know that life is programmed to be so and only the willing ones are able to brake out and make a difference to their life or person wey suffer don really touch go know say the only option wey him get na to find way get up and start doing something tangible with him life. For this Nigeria na only person wey know where e dey pain am na go find wey adjust am.

Accumulating bitcoins has been my dream for a long time, but it never became possible due to lack of extra money. As I am a student it is not possible for me to earn extra money.

After many attempts I came up with a way that is possible for family prosperity and fulfilling my dreams. Being a student I am not able to get a job so after much thought an idea came up,
my father has some cultivable land which is about 20-22 percent.Where I plant some papaya seedlings, it is possible to sell papayas worth around $250-$300 per month from here as it is a high yielding papaya variety.

If I deposit $100 or $120 worth of bitcoins per month from here, how much will it benefit me? Is it right for me to invest more $ in Bitcoin than this? And should I invest the whole money in Bitcoin?
As agriculturist, it's better you see bitcoin as your side gig that you will be investing little by little, you don't have to use all the money from your profit to do that, the good thing is that you have a base where you get your resource from, the next thing is to ask yourself the kind of bitcoin investment you want, if your buying to hodl for a long period of time or you want to go into trading. If You want to hodl for a long time, there is DCA method that allows you to buy bitcoin in little quantity which is budget friendly because you choose a pattern that best suits you and it can help accumulate bitcoin over time, since that has been your dream.

It's always better and advisable to always use the DCA strategy when it comes to Bitcoin investment and the reason for this is because the DCA method is very fast in learning and making one Bitcoin investment goal and dream a reality so if am ever going for any strategy or plans of helping me achieve my investment goal its gonna certainly be Bitcoin DCA strategy or method.
1045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [1 to 3 days] a long running game good or bad? on: April 21, 2024, 10:25:27 PM
Multi game betting for me is difficult to win because of the numbers of games appearing as hurdles to cross before winning and most times you find that it will be unsuccessful like single or few games.
This is the longest multibet I have seen in a long time. I think there is a correlation between the number of bets and the chances of winning. Anyone doing this must have a high level of absorbing risk. It is high risk and patience. Obviously this is not the OP's first time for them to bring it to the forum and proves that they may have won in the previous multi bets. This may be different or it may not be.
If you are staying or from my locality then you would have understood the context of why many gamblers that I know of like playing multi betting in fact this habit is very normal among gamblers over here. Sometimes gambler tend to play only games that know they are certain about like a single bet but most person believe that the single doesn't bring good possible returns except the game is a comparison of different game with different odds .

To be able to earn money of course we have to do work that can give us income and in gambling it is only luck that can enable us to win from the bets we place on gambling, those who think they can use gambling as a place to earn income of course they I have misunderstood gambling because I think of the many gamblers, of course they lose more than they win and I myself have never believed that those who gamble can win all the losses they have experienced with one big win that they get.
Winning becomes constant for those thay have gain access to the winning luck and key. We should understand the system and knows how to apply the basis. Gambling addiction will cause loss and we should be careful and be able to handle the top situations on ground. Gambling requires luck and solid strategies. We should be serious and upset with ourselves because the slightest mistakes will definitely make one lose huge figures.
So in essence you are trying to say that there is actually a formula or pattern to follow when gambling because from all my years and experience in Gambling I am led to understand that the only basic thing to do when gambling is that the person learns how to control their emotions because for sure he or she must surely face loses whether he likes or not the only difference is that he knows how to control when that time comes.

when I saw the video I thought "Well he probably had a tournament still going on"
Or I thought
it could really be a masked advertisement for the poker house "affiliated" with him
because  continuing to play poker during the daughter's birthday is not the best thing... surely there is a "logic" explanation.
What is certain at  first glance it seems a terrible self-image not exactly the best thing.
The same was realized in other situation was completely another impact.
When you talk about it being an advert then that I can relate to because most of the characters of these star which we feel is off can turn out to be something else although their is still a strong clause to the reality that he is just same old gambling entice person that really love the poker game, i mean he is just human and do have habits himself.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What the Heck Do Gamblers Mean By this Phrase on: April 20, 2024, 10:27:13 PM
I've always been puzzled by this phrase, "the flow of the cards". I've heard it from serious gamblers, but I've never really gotten the chance to ask them what it actually means. I am therefore turning to you guys to ask, what the do gamblers mean when they say it?

*The context for the phrase in which it is used is blackjack.
Well am not surprised i don't really know this phrase since am not really a blackjack fan or player. But I do know that there are quite a few terminologies that do exists in the gambling world and if am not mistaken some other games like soccer and basketball too has theirs and if it was any of these then maybe I would have been clued to have an idea about it.
1050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No gambling today due to bitcoin high transaction fee. on: April 20, 2024, 09:33:55 PM
This high fee is probably due to the 4th halving that was completed. I haven't seen this type of transaction fee this hight.

If you look at https://mempool.emzy.de/, the current transaction fee is  over $50 but in the past few hours it was over $100... So if you are a gambler who doesn't gamble that much like your range is only $10 to $100, it's impossible you will choose to gamble today with that very high fees.

This is only for gamblers who use bitcoin as the payment method, how is going today? Who among us here can still afford to gamble?
I think those that leave their coins or some bitcoin in their betting account can still afford to gamble but for the case of other that don't then thats a different story because I can't imagine someone actually paying such fee to gamble when their is no certainty with his gambling habits accept that person has enough bitcoin and wouldn't mind wasting some of it although their is the option of USDT if you are that desperate type.

Most people just eat anything that comes their way, some of the problems we have are whant we eat, We have to  exercise and eat healthy and stop alcohol, some of us what we eat is root cause of our health problem. I had to consult several nutritionist and dietitians to learn what healthy eating actually mean, most people think they are eating healthy but they aren’t.
Watin you talk no dey bad oo, but you know say as this country dey go so wey money sef no dey you no go talk say if you get garri and you no get rice make you no eat the garri because say you done eat am for morning. Some of hard feed because say the country done hard every well, for me, if you get money no think of food first just think of better investment wey go provide better food for you.
Excess things just dey like addictions, the more wey person dey take alcohol too much na the more em dey dey addicted and somebody wey dey addicted to those kind things no dey go further.
1052  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin no be for everybody inside Nigeria on: April 20, 2024, 09:28:35 PM
When we talk about Bitcoin and it's adoption for the Nigerian space, we go understand say many people wey dey even here about Bitcoin sef na true the wrongs ways like some of my friends for which day just dey blah about cryptocurrency trading and how people dey make am especially when you trade Bitcoin, all these nonsense na watin him dey vomit without even understanding or knowing what is involved in Bitcoin trading or the cryptocurrency market as a whole base on the aspect of its volatility.
I believe say many people for Nigeria, no understand di difference between Bitcoin and altcoins, for dem mind all of dem na cryptocurrency, so if dem scam dem for one shitcoin, dem go put di blame on Bitcoin, dat na one of di reasons wey I talk say Bitcoin no be for everybody. Some people no go take time to research or ask questions about Bitcoin, dem go think say na Ponzi, or one get rich quick scheme, na so dem go ignorantly put money for one hyped scam project and dem money go vanish, in the end dem go think say every crypto coin na Bitcoin, so person supposed de enlightened, odawise Bitcoin no be for am.

This talk just make me remember when JJG dey say fuck crypto, from my opinion, I go conclude say  sef dey mean am say Bitcoin no be shitcoins or altcoins. Many people just don mis understand the methods of Bitcoin na make them no dey try to even invest in to Bitcoin. As long as say you sef get the money to invest Bitcoin na for you. No body wey go see Bitcoin then get the knowledge and money at same time then no invest, unless say the person still get fear and doubt nai go make am no invest at all.
1053  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Do you not think those land borders should be opened again on: April 20, 2024, 09:27:07 PM
I believe the whole idea of this was to actually give our local production house a boost of confidence
Come to think about it ehn, i no think say government gats close our land borders to help local production, they can support local producers and leave the borders open for competition. Wetin i believe be say competition dey help businesses to grow and improve and e dey also help to control the prices of goods, so whatever we go dey import through our land borders, we go also dey produce locally, leaving the market open for competition.
Yeah that one na true because competition na always watin dey cause many people stir up their game and meet to the need of the people because dem no say if dem no do am other producers go do am. This na similar thing wey happen for the aviation sector as one airline drop price which is air_peace na so the other ones too fast reduce their price because people no come dey reason dem.

1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: After losing the money in gambling,what is your strategy on: April 20, 2024, 09:21:41 PM
What is there to actually do again when someone loses their money than to play a cool head and remove your mind from that area for me relaxing the mind is the next possible action and also accepting the fact that I have actually lost the funds would probably make things a whole lot easier for you. Because the moment your mind is fixed on that particular funds then you will find it difficult to let go and that can even call for more loses.
1056  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Opportunity come but once. on: April 19, 2024, 10:19:25 PM
Op, using the money that was given to you to keep for a purpose to invest in Bitcoin or even any other investment is a higher risk, do you know that the price of this digital asset might decrease tomorrow, what if you invest today and it decreases tomorrow, what will you do, it is advisable not to use any money that's not your own to invest in Bitcoin because bitcoin is a volatile asset, the price fluctuates, it is not steady in terms of price unless you are ready to take whatever comes at the end, am not encouraging you are you but there some opportunities that requires you to think as a person before considering to trade on the part. I can not stop your decision, and at the same time I can't advise you on this, the decision has to be a personal one.

I'm sure the person that owns the money you are keeping isn't like my friend. He can come to keep money with you today and call you tomorrow to tell you he needs the money. If you have used the money to invest in Bitcoin and Bitcoin drop the following day massively. Then to pay the money back, you have no option than to sell in lost. It's a very bad idea to borrow money to invest in anything either offline or online.
Why person go even take money from person hand like wey go dey disturb like that omo e no make sense at all and me if I know say na so you dey then wats the need of actually taking or keeping the money in the first place. But on general note na really big decision sef to take money from person then use am come buy crypto currency because the Market dey always fluctuate anyhow and the time frame to pay back the money sef na another disadvantage sef join because no lender go give you better time for money wey you borrow.
1057  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: April 19, 2024, 10:02:54 PM
Ive been hearing about situations where someone buys a coin for a certain rate and not quite long after,  the said coin drops in value, or  someone sells his coin for a certain rate and then it appreciates just after.
What's your take on this? Given the period we're in is it buy time or sell time?
When you enter the market, you must look at the market position and understand that if you are not experienced in this, you will never be able to sell and make more profit. Of course, you should buy when there is volatility in the market and if you buy and hold it will definitely put you in a profit position. You buy from a position where you will not face a loss if you buy, but you will see the possibility of profit in the future. If you enter the market and are not knowledgeable about the market, then you will survive the number of bones compared to the profit, so you need to know about the volatility of the market first. Many times, if you buy when the market goes down a lot and sell when it goes back up, you can definitely make a profit. That's why you should buy and hold when the market starts to fluctuate, sell when the market enters highs, and you will only profit if you continue to do so, and you will be successful.

Maybe better to suggest to buy and to hold and to just figure out a budget in which you can continue to buy BTC for 4-10 years or longer, and then reassess your situation once you start to accumulate a high enough quantity of BTC that you might start to feel that you are able to sell some or to live off of it or to supplement your income with it. 

Much better to have a longer term BTC accumulation plan that involved mostly buying and holding rather than buying and selling, which truly runs risks of selling too much too soon and then becoming disgruntled due to an inability to recognize an appreciate the power of bitcoin as an asymmetric bet to the upside.
If the investor doesn't understand what he or she is doing then going in or making the wrong decision when it comes to the type of investment is probably the first mistake he or she makes with their investment. It's always better to have a long term plan to your investment because selling and tempering with the invested Bitcoin like you said will just make the investors grow the urge not to continue as no much value might be added when their is significant increase of the price but when the plan is long term all these worries are left behind because the buying mentality is more fixed and when the price increase is seen it also enhances the zeal to buy more and more despite any fluctuations in the price.
1058  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What Casino Game Has the Best Odds? on: April 19, 2024, 09:45:45 PM
One thing is that the higher the odd the harder it is to win. There are no two reasons I visit casinos than to play my lovely roulette. You can not understand, I love roulettes. The higher the odd, the less the number range and the higher you can lose. Sometimes I also play dice and their odds to probability to win or lose are similar. I love the game that I can play and feel relaxed and enjoying it. Using high amount of money will not make you enjoy it.
Some persons or should I say gamblers tend to believe that the gambling is always much fun when you have a steady win which is true but going in with that mentality can get you fucked up and they even feel the smaller odds are best to play and so put or stake the game with very high amount of funds just to get something out of the odds of which the chances of losing that same small odds is still very high as fuck.
1059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: April 19, 2024, 09:39:49 PM

Basically, gambling is just a means of entertainment, not a definite means of making money. If we really want sure money then we have to work, not gamble. considering that the factor that will occur more often is losing, we must be aware that gambling is a profitable business for the host, with many gamblers who lose, there is an advantage for the host, but what is unfortunate is that many gamblers force themselves to be able to win. gambling but it only gets them into trouble.

That's right, and it's very hard for many people to admit that life is a gray place where you can achieve something only with your skills, and that no miracle will happen that will change your life for the better in one moment.
I think only strong adult personalities are capable of such a decision, and certainly not those who believe that you can beat the casino.

There is no secret, there is only the truth: those who develop and work will definitely achieve something.
Well the truth they say is hard to take in and that is what has caused many people living in false dreams and thought although there is some cases where gambler do they tend to win massively through little stake amount but even that too was maybe achieve through unexpected means but the majority of gamblers tend to think they can actually force it to work or play for them too of which is a big wild lie because success only works and comes from hard , presevance and patience with hard work.
1060  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling or selling? on: April 19, 2024, 07:24:37 PM
There is no need for us to ever think of selling our Bitcoin because that would be the most stupid decision we could ever make in the crypto market. We need to be relaxed and keep buying if we have the funds to buy but if not, we can decide to hold for as long as possible so that we can earn huge from the market.
 Bitcoin price is going to reach 100k and we should not be surprised if that ever happened. The market is huge and we are not the only one taking the risk, we need to be prepared for the bull so that we earn from cryptocurrency. Those that can take the risk would do that and those that can't would have no option than to sell and regret later.
Top traders and whales have thoroughly made their analysis on bitcoin and its definitely going to reach top targets in the system. It's all just a matter of time before Bitcoin triggered the pumps to $100k. I'm confident this event will take place and we'll be there to witnessed our portfolio, this have always been the main reason I've not touch my bitcoin though I've managed to touch others coins. The halving will be arriving in few days time and we should be ready.
Well I don't want to actually be a party pooper but what are the odds of all this expectations not happening because I can remember vividly that the whole Bitcoin price wasn't supposed to reach a new ATH until after the halving of which this time around trend was totally different as Bitcoin beat the previous ATH even the halving dreamt of showing its face so am just sceptical, what if the whole this time around is different like the history books show and tell it to be.
