Unfortunately those promotions are the insentives that casinos use to draw out people to register and afterwards bankroll with them but at the end they get scammed. Casinos that have scammed users have those packages which makes people to turn off their eyes from doing proper research or staying with old and reputable casinos.

New will always go after bonuses and that seem like a dead trap that people are blinded folded to see. It is better to stay with the devil you know than trying to meet the angel that you don't know.

Whoever has used things in the house or things considered outdated for them should let them out to those families that they are better than, take them to the orphanage, NGOs to distribute to the needy and not to keep clustering them in their homes, wasting them while there are people needing them, that is not wise because the economy is hard and some families can't really meet up to their daily needs and they need support from others.

This is the end of the year and it is wise to give out in appreciation of what God has been doing in health and prosperity. So is really a time to give and not to waste what we don't need.

Investment is about timing and strategy, bitcoin is not different from that. Business is about demand and supply that is what grows volatility and it is not controlled by just the will of one single man but by market forces and sentiment. For instance in real world scenario if a product was to be scarce because of a season, naturally the price would go higher because of demand which is part of market forces. So it is not just a man made arrangements and that is what happens with commodities market, currency and crypto which includes bitcoin like you have rightly analysed in your post. Like the season for bull is approaching because of halving and investors are buying and hodling, that is expected to push the price more higher next year.

I believe that gambling addiction is self explanatory or educational. Whoever is visiting the game house and betting but losing yet kept visiting the place and betting without stopping knows that he is addicted and knows he should stop. If you are unable to stop while you want to stop then you already know you are addicted. So I don't think we need a different board on it, moreover there are different threads started whose contributions are always going towards addictions and what remedy to take.

Except there could be threads pinned on this board for easy access to learn what addiction.

I don't really have time that I do wrap up. It depends on how I feel and the winning rate and if it is losing then it might come earlier than expected. To focus on a particular time frame to wrap up might not give you the whole comfort to play your game but if you are in control of yourself and emotion then you can properly control your bankroll which is what is important and not how much time will limit ourselves to play because you never can tell what the next game can produce except you have already made up your mind to wrap up.

They do this because of shame of playing consistently without winning. They feel ashamed for such disappointment and they want to hype themselves to be part of those winning too so as to take away shame of being losers. It is shameful sometimes when you have not won a bet.

Sometimes too gamblers do that saying they won their bet while they didn't because they have boosted on the prediction that they have made to be a sure winning. Sometimes when you are watching live match with fellow bettors on a viewing center, a bettor can keep boosting about the match making others to regret the line of their bet while the game was going on and if things turn around in the match against the booster, he might still lie that he took another option and not the one he was boosting about. All these happen because people don't want to be associated with failure.

It is not a business competition between mixers and casinos, so to suggest closing up the space for mixers because they are leaving the forum makes no points. Whether they are here or not didn't stop any other signature campaign to advertise their business on the service board. Therefore, no relationship, connection or deprivation for any signature campaign with or without mixers.

However, you have made a valid point whether they would survive elsewhere and that is a strong point. This forum is the most active and popular crypto forum because of the use of bitcoin. So if they want to succeed elsewhere, they should introduce btc payment system for the signature campaign and not usdt or other stable coins.

Another point that they need to survive is to put value on payrate for the participants whether in btc or other coins. If they increase payrate, that would encourage good work on their publicity.

Games won't really show how intelligent a person is and so it is not a measure of IQ. Some persons learn the more difficult games from the gambling father in the house, so whether they are intelligent or not won't matter because they have had the first hand learning process of the game from the home and that may turn out to be the persons most loved game as it is easier for him to understand against his friends who are even far intelligent more than him.

Another thing is interest and what game entertain you more. This is important because such game that entertain you tend attract you to learn it more. And in fact every game has it own ability to increase someone's intelligence. Of course games help build intelligence while you are also entertained.

Despite it challenges, I have seen an average person that turned himself into a wealthy person from commitment and hard work. It is about determination and passion.

Savings is a very strong way to raise capital.  If you have a little job you are doing, you can gradually save up into something bigger and invest in something else. It is a gradual process and not to despair from starting small.

There are people who have made it from small because they didn't despise their little beginning. To build capital can be through support from family, loan or savings but what matters is how to guide the capital into big resources.

But if you don chop wetin you don save finish, wetin again you go chop? Nothing na. How much you even save self wey you no go chop finish within months that is if you be a single person. So no be saving help you oo, na say you get wetin dey still bring money for you wey you dey even see the one wey you go dey take talk of savings.

Savings without investment my brother na zero idea. If you keep money for bank na inflation go chop am finish. Na investment be the key.

Yes gambling has no permanent winning strategy. The strategy that gives you winning today might become so disappointing to you the next time and that is because it is luck base. We don't have to put all into gambling to avoid breakdown of emotions like we have some stories of gamblers committing suicide because of losing his money. Analysis and predictions do fail but many people don't look at that, they so rely on what they have analysed thinking it must have to go their own way and they bet so hugely but winning is always short term because the house edge works against the player.

Before folding the cards it is wise to see it rather than just folding it especially when other players are not comfortable with it. Although it is not a rule to show it but knowing what is in the card is good to be sure it is genuine and not being cheated like you said. Some player maybe dubious to join the cards together even when it is not the required card.

Really people don't get blind to it actually but it is that same greed that make them not to consider the losing part of it. When gamblers want to bet that kind of huge money, they are already calculating their profit and what kind of car they want to buy after their winning and they don't look sideways to compare the challenges of losing or the the possibility of it but they calculate only the profit and what they want to do with the money. Some gamblers even start taking friends to hotel to drink when they feel nothing will stop their last game. So it is not about being blind but the greed that engulf gamblers.

Your mum should understand that while try to chase money, she should also care about her safety. She doesn't need to force a bad truck into the road because it may become collateral damage to other road users.

Money is good but the love for it is bad as it leads to evil because you can take wrong decisions as a result of the chase for it. Health is wealth and the need to be alive is a more important goal to securing the future. Moreover, your mum would have been aged and should pass over certain responsibility to you regards to how to make money. She needs more rest and since you have volunteered to take up the business, she has to consider that you are younger with energy and can face challenges more than her. She only needs to build trust with you, guide you from the background with her experience.

You can't throw the baby away with the bath water. In your own case, has your bank scammed you? Do you have any issues with your bank then go through the right channel of complaint and get your challenges with them resolved. Interphasing is one of the advantages of using the bank.

No doubt it is controlled by the government and that cause the third party interference but as it stands now, the banks are still around and not going anywhere soon.

There are advantages using the banks as you know the charges are far lower than using bitcoin and you can get some credit support from bank if you provide your security. Banks is still the traditional viable means of financial services that the larger number of the people are still using and crypto is yet to get that status of legality and adoption.

If you want to really stop an addicttion then you have to take a very stringent step to do that otherwise you will see yourself going back to it from time to time. So if this person has gone to gambling commission of his country to ban himself from gambling it means he is serious about what he wants and that is good.

He is not a fool but would have been a fool if he has kept pretending to himself that he would stop gambling whilst he kept losing on it. Someone who wants to stop an addicttion need to go the mile to achieve it like he has done for himself which is really a step in the appropriate direction and from the information, he has not gambled for the past 10 years and perhaps would have saved more money more than if he was still gambling.

When a particular sector looks lucrative, you see more people going into it and that means you have much of bad intention all for the money, low creativity, replication of existing ideas, ingenuity and exit scam will become the order of the day.

Bonuses and other promises are what some new players get attracted to but I would rather stay with the existing and reputable casinos.

Agreed with some of your views though but somehow it is looking as if you are setting the family against themselves when all the points are hinged on not showing up what you have or what to help with.

I was expecting to see that you would suggest that the bread winner should endeavour to raise another person in the family that will also be helping and raise another person and the family grows that way.

The right way to help someone is not to give them fish but to teach them how to fish so that they can choose to go to the river by themselves and make a choice on where and how to throw in their net. To build human capital and capacity is surely the best support to give the family.

Probably he has been contemplating suicide for other reasons beyond him losing his bet. A triggering factor could be responsible for that and not just gambling losses, maybe he has been frustrated with life along time ago and now wants to try hitting a jackpot with this particular bet by having a one time try. I believe as someone who gamble such amount, he would have been having win and losses before this time so he should understand the loss and win that is involved in gambling so taking his life might not only be because he lost but no matter what was his challenge, he doesn't need to take his life as a young man who still have time to make things right in his future.

I do not agree that teams performance is hereditary. I thought you were trying to talk about family connection to football or hereditary. Like some families have older ones who have liked and played football in their youth age whether international or local even to the parents and grand parents.

So I accept it is hereditary for families and their siblings but for clubs or teams, I doubt that. If a team is not performing and they desire to perform, what they need to do is to wait for transfer season and do their buy of choicest players plus coach. Some years back Manchester city wasn't in the top team list but they have been able to do that in recent years.

The most important thing for team is to have the finance to be able to overhaul their team but if a team lack the finance then it could support your assertion that the team performance is hereditary but with finance, they can change their fortune.
