1061  Economy / Speculation / Re: The price of a Bitcoin could cost millions of dollars: Standard Chartered on: July 26, 2023, 03:31:56 AM
The price of digital currency Bitcoin has started to rise again. In this reality, multinational bank Standard Chartered thinks that the price of Bitcoin may rise to 50 thousand dollars this year. Even in the latter half of 2024, the price of this currency can reach 120000 dollars. According to the news agency Reuters, investors may be more attracted to it as the price of Bitcoin is increasing recently. Earlier in April, Standard Chartered said, at the end of 2024, the price of Bitcoin, a virtual currency, could rise to 100,000 dollars. Then they said that the 'winter' of cryptocurrency is about to end. But now the bank's foreign exchange analyst Jeff Kendrick said that the price of Bitcoin may increase by 20 percent to 120,000 dollars.
but the whole thread does not mention about the possibilities of reaching 1 million ?  the title is misleading and you did not bring the link here about those statements of Standard Charter.

But talking about to reach Million dollar is always a reality for us but its just that we need to understand when this to happen and what would be the consequences from the holders.

wrong in that part , because all the vices you mentioned are completely to spend money but in gambling there is a chance to gain more though it is smaller percent yet there is far different than those others so addiction in gambling is harder to achieve .
and also you are correct that those are all leading to same thing and that is to lose our life if not managed correctly .
]stopping gambling addiction is easier to do than quitting addiction from drugs,
agreed mate ,  though that is not what the topic stands but yes I have some colleagues that got to quit in gambling but never in drugs.
though I believe that most drug addict are also gamblers(if they have a chance of having enough money to gamble)

But depending on each human being, there are those who can heal themselves, there are also those who are desperate for it because they are frustrated because they have lost everything and have lots of debt everywhere, making it difficult to get up to recover. Logically, it will not make him die if he has to leave gambling, which is actually not must be done, simply reducing gambling is more than enough.
of course it is always depend in that person because we have all different on going and decisioning in life , but what we are talking here is the majority generally .
1063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: July 25, 2023, 07:34:13 AM

Last 2 night I signed up to an online bet called betking (become a KING) and I bet a virtual stake with 1700 naira to win 1,438,540.92 naira, but the game was lost and the bet that made it to lost was the last one I added, before I added the last one that made the winning to be this amount, I was having double thoughts like should I make the winning a random figure 1.5 million or I should stake it at 1.3? But out of greed I refused to bet the game at 1.3 and I added the one that lost the bet, what a pity?
Greed is one thing that gets some game lost, the stake we are supposed to win out of greed we add another that get the game lost.
Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.
Greed is the cause of all losses in gambling , as this will never let you to be contented and keeps seeking for more and more , imagine that I even experience the same thing when I have got to make my capital x 40 but out of greed? i come to lose all my money even my capital.
this is greed and will always make you regret your last gaming .

This is money management 101, there is almost no person which has not gone through a difficult economic situation at some point during their lives, and when that happens we have no option but to reduce our expenses as much as possible.

And while I like to gamble from time to time when I have found myself in that kind of situation I stop spending money on things that are not 100% necessary, this way you can give yourself a respite and stabilize your finances relatively quickly.

That's the best you can do as you only need to gamble (or invest money in crypto/stocks) with money that you have to spare. I also stopped for a while gambling (because I tilted too much) so right now I just play with very low amounts as I like the trill and it cans give more excitement when watching sports when you place a bet.

Because that leaves us no choice unless we wanted to risk everything in gambling that things in which not wise to do because the more chances of losing , better to choose not to gamble for a while , since this is not permanent and also gambling is there , everytime we wanted to gamble it is waiting.
so extend our patience  , have a life away of gambling and just go back when you are ready.
good act and of course perfect decision , Duelbits will always be waiting for our comeback lol.

Buy Bitcoin now and forget about altcoins , this is the moment that we are waiting for as we can see about the movement of Bitcoin these days

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/

Im afraid that there will be no chance if we will wait for the next year mate, try to accumulate more and more this point in time.

I believe that now is the time to invest in bitcoin because the price of $30,000 is temporary and it will continue to grow
actually it is lowering mate, yesterday it almost drop to 28k so the chance is all ours now.
1066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers Belief on: July 25, 2023, 01:26:15 AM
Gamblers will do everything just to win in gambling , even selling their soul for demon ( not everyone of course) just to make a winning ?
but what we can find on those belief are losers , but yet ? they are not stopping lol.
their faith in gambling is like their faith in how long they will live in this world.
Because you are gambling, that does not mean you will sell your sole for demon. Because you are gambling, that does not mean you can do anything bad because you want to win.

Gamblers can lose and they are more prone to losses. But I noticed that you are generalizing this thing as if every gambler is an addict because what you are saying are just for addicts.
if you happen to read it completely , I did not generalized all gamblers instead  i said not everyone , because lets admit the fact that once the gamblers turn addicted and given a chance to do such thing , i believe they can act to what I said but this only addressed those desperate gamblers and not the majority .
but doing bad just to win is indeed happening that is why there are lots of cheaters or even those taking advantage of the opportunity even if this is wrong because they wanted to win.

but I agreed in that point of yours because gamblers are prone to losing as in 70-90% and only the remaining percent is their chance to win.
1067  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Help to rescue on: July 25, 2023, 01:22:48 AM
I have DOT in my portfolio and it is down 79% as of today. The amount I've put there is quite big for me. The average buy price per DOT is 25.80USD. The price of DOT today is 5.38.
So the question is what are my options to rescue the money I've put into it? Is there anything I can do or I just wait?
Before you put your money on that coin , You should understand the risk because of all crypto currency what made  you deposit in this kind of low moving and potential coin?
and also before putting money you have asked us and now that you are in trouble then you'll come here and ask for help  lol.
sell that coin now and invest in good ranking coin or risk more time and chances for the return of that coin.

That is the law, brother, when you play, the first thing you should imagine is how much money you are willing to lose, so that it does not become unbalanced later, because things can change anyway,
The Law that every gamblers and becoming gambler must learn and understand because that Law will save them from one thing to the whole outcome of being gambler and a addicted one.
Quote
I say this as a player who has a low to medium balance of money, I cannot say that I put a lot of money in the casino because it would be a lie, there would be no point in telling lies, one has to assume how his way of playing is, how much money is he capable of risking? Because things can change from one moment to another, I am a relatively conservative player, if I want to withdraw money from a casino I don't do it all at once, things are little by little, with small profits I accumulate them.
majority of us here in forum are small gambler meaning we are trying to gain what can be a possible than just risking more when we truly understand that it is something like a dream.
Quote
There are people who have their own style to play, which is to make a move and at once consider it lost or won, I also respect that, as long as things don't get out of control, the bad starts when more money is invested and it is compromised money, and if it is lost, then things get worse.

I have a friend with that attitude, when deciding to gamble? he only Aim for single bet and if he win then that is Luck and leaving the table , but if he loses ? then the same thing that he is not lucky that time and need to leave the table as well.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino on a cruise ship? on: July 22, 2023, 01:27:59 AM
I'm not that capable (as of now to try cruising) but there are some school mates and friends that already in cruise and even my cousin is working in cruise so exposed in casinos and the experience? is almost the same in land base casinos because they are also offering the same gaming and same events , so I think there is no need to differentiate them both but the best to ask about the online casino and land/water based casino houses.though the only big difference is the time of operation in which land base has longer time to gamble.
I had never been to a cruise ship casino and I thought it was only for people who have a lot of money, because of course cruises are very expensive. In addition to facilities, food and so on for a long time would require a very large cost.
but if you imagine it would be great fun to be on a cruise ship that has a casino, and I remember my old friend who worked on a cruise ship about casino stuff. He said most of the larger cruise ships have casinos, and they generally cannot play in them while in port because of the laws and regulations governing gambling. And they can only play while in international waters, unless the country where the port has allowed it.
while it is for rich people yet that is correct that the gambling time is limited because of each jurisdiction from water territory .

Do you think our ageing parents are into crypto investment or trading?

Let's see brilliant opinion
\if you are active in this forum then you should have already crossed that there are so many parents that already investing ,using and holding crypto specially bitcoin and even some prominent members here are already of age (considering me and many of my friends are also parents) your question seems to be a teenage question that trying to learn if how many are aging and youngsters in this market.
but what I can tell you? even my uncles and aunts are already crypto investors.
1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Stop Gambling Even If You're Doing Great If This Happens To You on: July 21, 2023, 09:51:26 AM
You are doing great in sports betting you Are wining a good sum and you are on the way mastering a good method in sports betting finally you have come to a point that all the years of perseverance is paying off then you're rich father  decides that he will disinherit you if you do not stop gambling because he thinks that money that you are going to inherit will just vanish because of your addiction to gamble you will have to stop gambling for a minimum of five years.
You are going to inherit amount that you cannot win in sports betting possibly multi million

Will you explain to him that you are doing great and you are not a compulsive gambler
Will just stop gambling  and be practical and get that multi million inheritance
You'll just go on with your passion and just forget the money that your father will give to you as inheritance.

Let's discuss this scenario is possible
he will never understand even how deep explanation you do because obviously ? he is not a gambling fanatic and that will always come to that discussion.
 and besides mastering a gambling? is like a education that you will never make yourself richer.
but this inheritance is a sure money , and also since you may have a millionaire family then why not ask your father to invest for you in a business and then after making your own money then continue your gambling with that capital on you?
1074  Economy / Gambling / Re: Duelbits.com | Casino & Sportsbook | VIP | Instant withdrawals!|ARGENTINA & AVFC on: July 21, 2023, 09:30:02 AM
Observed that some posters didn't understand what I was trying to convey. Some gamblers who win big do continue gambling for sure since they are addicted to it, but some others quit after winning big in order to beat the house.

The smart ones quit when they are ahead since they are aware of the fact that it's impossible to beat the house in the long-term.
Actually they  understand what you try to say here but what I see they are questioning is if there are truly some big winners that totally leave gambling after the win , or they just stop for a while but still playing for sometimes?
 because i really don't believe that there are some that can completely leave like that , yeah they may succeed beating the house and also continue to seek for winning in the time to come.

I think you need to create an account there and try to make a deposit, don't hesitate to ask anything in this thread or their CS if you have something to ask and you don't get a satisfactory answer in this thread. I think it will solve your doubts about this site, because then you will no longer be curious about your question.  Wink
The ongoing discussion in this thread will be helpful in understanding that they are legit in the business and doing it for some years now with lot of players who are satisfied and happy with duelbits.But support won't answer such things like they are legit or not because they are responsive to any issues on the site but he/she don't need to worry about duelbits.
the support needs to answer everything , but there are some  that they choose not to because of obvious reason and those are cheaters.
Duelbits proven those legibility for how many years now? and yet some are questioning them.
1075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy more ETH..... on: July 21, 2023, 07:40:51 AM
Looking at effective price of altcoins ETH has not really record a bad history and very soon ETH will hit way bigger and better, if you have sphere money buy plenty of it and allow it to run for five years and watch what the outcome will be. Let's not surprise when ETH will shook the market cap of world trade many will be made billionaires and by then it will be too late for others you didn't buy at all. In shot begins to store all the relevance altcoin and wait for it. Happy Sunday
This is what I hate in most new account here as they are just creating thread and never have a chance to return and stand for what their posting here , actually this seems to be a junk post from accounts that does not really care for what will be the outcome of their advise instead what they only wanted is to gain from the said post.
I will still choose buying Bitcoin over ethereum ,   while there are already some of this coin stays in my wallet for quite a long.
1076  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin whale 'awakens' after 10 years. on: July 20, 2023, 08:45:38 AM
I hope this guy won't start selling it right now haha.

We already have a pretty big pressure on the bitcoin and the crypto market so it will send everything to hell pretty quickly.

But I think people like him will probably wait for bitcoin to go to 100k and beyond before selling even one coin.
We are talking about Bitcoin here, few whales have sold big numbers of Bitcoin in the past and we don't even noticed, there are more whales that will buy up these thousand pieces of Bitcoin in days, believe that, it has happened before and it will keep happening in future, so, brother whale, if you are listening to this, proceed and sell your Bitcoin, i will keep buying what I can afford and I will one day end up with good numbers of Bitcoin.

The same whales can't keep topping the chart of biggest holders for life, when the time is right there will be new readjustment among the biggest holders, it's nothing alarming.

If he will sell  $37.8 million of bitcoins we WILL feel it. Bitcoin will go down because it's a huge sum. And considering that people are also will start selling Bitcoin as it goes down because of the panic, Bitcoin can go pretty low because of the whales. It's not happening all the time, but sometimes the market has a pretty strong reaction.
actually the wallet is already given then we can follow that address to know what really happened, hope that he did not sell or hoping that there is no plan any time soon.
though Indeed that we will be affected once those big whales decides to sell all their coin as there will surely a dumping to come.

1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 20, 2023, 04:26:24 AM
As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.
you did not mentioned how much have you bet for this game because you have won 5 prediction yet the offer is just 200 dollars ,so i wonder if you just betted 1 or 2 dollars?

anyway if that can be considered as Big win then you lose the chance of gaining but this is not about greedy mate , you just took the chance as it is closest and you believe that luck is in your side.
1079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 20, 2023, 04:02:10 AM
There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".  They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
how I wonder where do you live? because it seems that every people in your community or at least majority is gambling addict .
imagine you have that kind of saying? if you don't quit then you will lose more than quitting earlier.
Quote
From what I observed from this statement is that, many of these gamblers have been misled by this very remark of a hypothetical hope which has liquidated their account.  While some who would have quit gambling long ago still hedge their hope on the idea behind the statement and keeps wagering.
actually what i do believe? that the one who started that quote is either gambling owner or a part of the team in which wanted people to gamble completely with their life.
Quote
Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?
never that I heard this in gambling , though in real life this is truly adopted because it is indeed that never quit for us to achieve our goal but that is in practical life.
1080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 20, 2023, 03:52:30 AM
For those doing it for fun or entertainment they mightn't find it easy to quit as well because when they get addicted they will have similar behavior like those playing for money. They won't want to quit even when they're not making profits. Addiction is very hard behavior to quit.
You have a good point as if it's already turn into addiction so it's no longer just for fun or entertainment but most with a desire to continue playing and control is no longer from that person itself, and it's very possible as you said, when you already engage and you are unable to control yourself then it will be too difficult to quit.

Yes I have seen people that started gambling just for fun and entertainment but as time went by they became addicted that they can't stop gambling even when they're not making money from gambling. They just do it to fulfill a desire in their life because of how sorrowful it is.

Some gamblers gamble because it make them escape reality. The fact is that people are passing through alot in life that if they decide to tell you, you won't blame them for the decision they're making. Bars get filled always it's because people are use drinking to ease their pains.

People use gambling as a solution to their pains, when they win that's the only happiness they get in life and always want to play more so they win and get more happiness then it becomes a habit and they keep playing which ends them getting addicted and hard to quit.

Gambling is supposed to be our source of fun and entertainment as that's what it was created for but there are people who made it a hobby where they are already doing it excessively and without limitations. If we are doing it beyond normal or if we are already being controlled by our urges then we might be falling for gambling addiction which makes us hard to quit or stop.
It will never be hard to quit if we're wise enough to handle gambling and we're disciplined to control ourselves. It's fne to rely on it if we seek fun and entertainment but we shouldn't go beyond our limits.

All vices are harmful, you could compare gambling with smoking, with alcohol, with whatever, but as long as you know that things are not good when they are done in excess, because when we look at vices, they are all harmful, but no vice is like that of drugs, it is the worst because it destroys the person, and anything else that one can be addicted to, I have seen that in the threads they talk about addiction to games and it can be something counterproductive when compared to other things, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, because everything leads to the same thing, they do not know how to control it and that is the only way to get addicted, that is why you must always have control of everything so that we do not harm ourselves.



wrong in that part , because all the vices you mentioned are completely to spend money but in gambling there is a chance to gain more though it is smaller percent yet there is far different than those others so addiction in gambling is harder to achieve .
and also you are correct that those are all leading to same thing and that is to lose our life if not managed correctly .
