It's easier to get addicted to online gambling, but I recently met someone who said that he isn't even aware that he was an addict until his blood brother told him that he is going too deep into gambling.
Most people that are addicted to gambling don’t really know they are addicted, I came across some people and I keep on telling them they are already addicted to gambling but they keep on arguing with me that they are not addicted, they keep on saying they can stop gambling whenever they want, they are not just ready to stop, but the way those guys are attached to gambling, I know they are addicted and they can’t stop it. The way those guys keep on pumping money to gambling and they keep on losing but they can’t stop gambling, I know something is wrong.

Have you meet gamblers that are going way too deep into addiction and you try to stop them and they listen? I've never accomplished that before.

They always behaved deaf, like some spiritual power is in control.
It’s very difficult that you will advise any addicted gamblers and they will listen, they keep on believing that one day they are going to make massive money if they don’t give up, but after wasting lots of money and maybe selling their properties to gamble, some of them always come back to their right senses.
1083  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why the disagreement between the Government, Bank and Bitcoin? on: June 15, 2023, 09:29:51 AM
Among the last three terms on my topic, each has representatives, and they've been having disagreements; the Government and banks against Bitcoin. With no tangible reason why it's so?
Both the government and the banks are just fighting for their own selfish interest, the government are against bitcoin because of their own selfish interest, they know that they can’t control Bitcoin that’s why they are against bitcoin, anybody can hold any amount of bitcoin and the identity of the person will be unknown, not like bank that they are having your information’s already that government can have it whenever they need it. Bitcoin is having a fix total supply, it can’t be increased or reduced, not like fiat currency that the government can decide to print more money and throw them into circulation at any moment.

Government keeps on claiming that bitcoin is used for illegal activities but we all know that’s not the main reason they are again bitcoin, if they are against bitcoin because it can be used for illegal activities, then they should be against fiat currency also, any illegal activities that bitcoin can be used for, fiat currency can also be used for it.

The banks are against bitcoin because they believe they believe the more people are adopting bitcoin, the more they will keep on losing customers, most people that knows about bitcoin don’t really save money in banks again, most of them prefer investing in bitcoin which will affect banks because they will keep on losing customers, am sure that’s why banks are against bitcoin.

  I'm beginning to understand the forum better by the day, but I'm still under a learning process, cause we learn everyday and I'm big on receiving advise from older members
 I find it easier to post on gambling, economics, politics and several others, but I want to know which board to focus more on as a newbie, what's your say on this? I'm open to learning from your opinions.
When I was still new to the forum, I focus mostly on beginners and help because that’s the section which I believe that things will be broken down to my understanding, which really helped me a lot, but their are different sections on the forum here where you can learn about different things. You can even visit your local board to learn about thing’s happening in your local society, their are different sections here in the forum, and am sure that any of the section which you visit, you are going to learn from their. The forum is sub divided so that you can know the appropriate section to visit when you are having any information, but every section is very useful on the forum here.

Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year One Online and Offline
Have once calculated my loses before and I felt like I was just a failure to myself, I calculated the amount have lost in gambling, I was just thinking if have used the money for another thing it will have being better, but all the money have being wasted. So since then I don’t even disturb myself calculating the amount have spent on gambling so that I won’t end up being depressed, any amount I lose is gone and I don’t have to start making any calculation, it won’t bring back the money that I lost and it won’t solve any of my problem, rather it’s going to add to my problem.

This is the most depressing thing to do, you'll be surprised at the amount,  I did this 4 years ago on offline number betting and Lottery I kept all the tickets I sometimes win 3rd and 4th prizes but every time I won consolation I increase my tickets I consider this a sign that I will hit the jackpot soon but unfortunately it never happens.
That’s the main problem most gamblers are always having, the more they keep on winning, the more they keep on increasing their bet thinking it’s their lucky day, but they don’t know their is nothing like lucky day, at the end most of them will end up losing everything again. As a gambler we should always know when to stop gambling even if we are winning.

When I count all my losses on numbers and the lottery it's enough to buy a small parcel of a lot and build a bungalow type and we're just renting a room back then.
You will think if you didn’t use the money to gamble, you will have achieved a lot if you use the money for other things, but don’t be surprise that even if you don’t use the money to gamble, then you might not be able to achieve those things that you just said, but since you wasted the money on gambling then you will that thinking about different things.

in fact why should you even invest the money that did not belong you in bitcoin or even convince someone to invest in Bitcoin that you are not guarantee of what will happen in future ? I will say that is a bad idea. my advice to you is to teach your father about bitcoin so it can decide on his own whether is half or quarter of retirement funds he can afford to invest in Bitcoin.


which I personally do not consider to be offensive at all. In fact he is not making fun of you or saying mean words, he is just criticizing your action (and not you as a person).

Even if it still bothers you, you can just press the Ignore button to hide the post.
Perhaps I'm the only one who think that the OP has a personal problem with SOKO-DEKE. If anyone should be hurt by what SOKO-DEKE said, it should be the original poster of the thread. However, it surprises me to see another person starting a thread and accusing SOKO-DEKE of using an offensive word. The creator of the thread you just quoted is different from the Op of this thread. Why are you complaining when the person who started the topic didn't complain about SOKO-DEKE's comment? Most people are thinking Edcrypto91 created the thread which SOKO-DEKE made his comment, but the thread was created by Fuso.hp, so I don’t know why the OP is being pained by SOKO-DEKE comment.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 12, 2023, 10:05:40 PM
People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?
Their is nothing bad with gambling, the only thing I will say is bad is when addicted to gambling, addicted gambler’s are the once that makes the society see gambling as bad thing, because addicted gamblers are the once that will have to do illegal things just because they want to make money to gamble, if everyone is gambling responsibly then people won’t have been complaining about gamblers.

No matter how much the society tries to stop gambling it won’t really be possible, gamblers will look for ways which they are going to gamble, and also I don’t stop or discourage people from gambling, but I always advise people not to get addicted to gambling. Gambling is not bad, but gambling addiction is really bad and am always discouraging people from being addicted to gambling.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 12, 2023, 09:38:15 PM
Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?
Some people will say they are going to quit gambling whenever they make a life changing money from gambling, but to be serious it’s easier said than done, I can’t really say if am going to stop gambling or not, but the only thing am confident of and I can promise myself is that am going to reduce gambling drastically but I won’t quit completely. Don’t be surprise that some people are still going to lose most of the money to gambling, they will increase the way they do bet and the amount they bet with will cause great damage.

I asked this because those who made some money through gambling near me always go back to gamble and they end up losing everything they once made through gambling.
When you are gambling, you should always know when to quit, their are some certain time you should know that you just have to stop, addicted gamblers don’t get satisfy by what they win, they believe if they gamble with the amount they win, they will be able to double it which in the process of doing that, they are going to lose everything they won previously.

Is it fine to say that people should not go back into gambling once they made high amount of money? Because the chance of losing that money again is very high, even if they don't use all the money to gamble at once, gambling can take it all back in time.
If an addicted gambler win high amount of money, then I will recommend that the person shouldn’t go back to gambling, because am sure he is going to waste all the money in gambling again, but if you are not addicted, then I won’t stop you because am sure you will be able to control yourself.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Confident Are You In The Reliability of the KYC system on: June 11, 2023, 10:56:31 PM
is part of what we agreed when we sign up to play in casinos but lately I've been reading a lot of complaints
about casinos on how they accept their players' KYC, is it possible that they can decline a person's credentials even though he swore that he submit all the right documents and even undergo a video call to establish his identity?
They can reject your kyc if something is missing, or they find your documents being suspicious or not being clear. Even after submitting all your documents and you proof to have submitted all the right documents, they can still reject your kyc if they are not confident about the documents you submitted, you might have submitted the right documents, but since the casinos are not close to you, so they might be thinking you submitted false documents even if the documents submitted are right.

Take note, Casinos will ask or demand a KYC if there's a big winning involved, is this one of their ways to scam their players?
Some casinos do ask for kyc immediately you register on their site, you won’t even be allowed to deposit if you don’t complete your kyc, and some casinos will request to complete their kyc if the amount they are trying to withdraw gets to some certain price. I can’t say it’s one of their way in scamming people if it’s stated in their terms and conditions and you accept it, the only time I can call it one of their way of scamming people after winning is that if their customer provides all the necessary documents for kyc and they ended up rejecting the kyc.

He is like one of the Liverpool fans who is quite frustrated with the achievements made by Liverpool this season. In fact, he is one of the fans who is quite sure that Liverpool will win the EPL trophy next season. I think it could happen quickly or vice versa Liverpool for next season they can learn from their mistakes this season. But as far as that goes I think next season is still quite a long way off and we should rather not say that for now.
Now I see the reason why he said Liverpool is going to win next season premier league, he might be a Liverpool fans, but sometimes we have to be honest with ourselves even if it’s going to hurt, if am to mention clubs that might likely going to win the next premier league, if am going to be predicting clubs that will be winning, then I  will be picking clubs that ended last season in top 3 or 4. But to me it’s too early to do that so don’t give yourself hope that Liverpool will win the premier league next season, let the league starts first and their performance will tell if they are likely to win the league.

I agree with you that at the moment we can monitor the progress of the epl teams in the transfer window if they get some injections of energy rather than new faces it will certainly be easy for us to judge who will be stronger for next season.
The transfer window haven’t been open yet, we don’t know the new players each clubs are going to sign, am sure every club will be going for players which is going to help them improve their performance, don’t be surprise that even Chelsea that performed very poorly in previous season might end up performing well in next season if they can make a better signing when the transfer window is open.
1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 11, 2023, 09:23:35 PM
My Current Prediction for who to win the Premier League for next season is Liverpool
They had some challenges bit that didn't stop them from scoring goals
Improvement in midfied and defense can give them that Salah should just be fit
Waw it’s kind of surprising to me that people are already predicting the winner of next premier league, it’s too early for that, we should wait till the season starts first and let’s see how all the teams are going to perform, we can’t use last season to judge how each team are going to perform in the coming season. Don’t be surprised if Arsenal that performed very well this season even as they couldn’t win the league might end up performing poorly next season, or maybe Liverpool was trying to catch up at the end of the season that just ended, then you believe they are going to perform well next season? Let the season start first, then we can all make predictions.

True to it, bitcoin is not yet 20 years old, and we are already seeing very large transaction volumes that are taking almost forever to get to the recipients. We don't know when this will end or how it will end, but we are sure that whenever it ends, bitcoin will still be standing. What are the other predictions that Satoshi has made that are happening now, have happened, or are yet to happen?
What satoshi said was normal, he didn’t make anything special, if am going to interpret what Satoshi said, it means in the next 20 years, it’s possible for bitcoin to be successful or in 20 years it’s possible for bitcoin to be dead, no one will hear about bitcoin again. But in less than 20 years, bitcoin is already having a large transaction meaning bitcoin is already successful, few weeks ago bitcoin mempool was so congested which leads to increase in gas fee, I think that’s the large transaction he was talking about.

Satoshi knows that if bitcoin could survive, then the amount of people that will be using bitcoin will be increasing on a daily basis, currently lots of people don’t still know about bitcoin, am just thinking about how bitcoin adoption will be in the next 20 years.

It's also a shame to see some parents not to know what their children are doing in secret,
You shouldn’t blame parents always, their are something’s parents can’t know about their children, everyone is having private life and as a gambler, you don’t have to visit casino house before you will be able to gamble, even with mobile phone, you can easily gamble and nobody will notice you are gambling.

i count it as being insensitive enough to know that your child is gamble being a student whereby gambling requires money to do it,
As a parent, they will be giving their child money for upkeep, you don’t expect parents to be monitoring what their child is doing with money, and how sure are you that the child is even staying with his parents, you don’t expect parents to know everything about their child. I will still blame the child, how will he be so addicted to gambling to the stage that he has to use his school fees to gamble, and even after losing why will he have to commit suicide after losing.

The Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan will be played tomorrow. Since the last few days, both the teams have been preparing themselves impossibly to give a great performance in this match. Hopefully we will see a great final match.
The long awaited match is finally here, in the next few hours we are going to see the winner of champions league, everyone have being making different predictions and analysis, but today we are going to know the winner. The two teams had enough time to rest and prepare for today’s match. I can’t just imagine the joy that will be felt by pep Guardiola if he can win today’s match, he will be winning three leagues this season, and we all know he is having higher chances of winning, but the same way inter Milan shouldn’t be underestimated, they can also surprise everyone, but even if inter Milan won’t be winning today’s match, then they will give Manchester city a tough time today.
1095  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 3068 Trades Won and only 1 Trade Lost on: June 09, 2023, 09:42:46 PM
Hi on the Bingx copytrading platform there is a trader with 3068 trades won and only 1 trade lost. He only trades long and with only x2 leverage.
I don’t trust all those copy trader’s but i don’t see anything special in the strategy which he used, if you are in future trading and you are using just 2 leverage, it will be kind of difficult to lose money, even if you are at lose, you can just leave it their and it’s going to bounce back, with 2 leverage your chances of losing money will be very slim, that’s why people think he is a professional trader. the same way your profit will be small whenever you are making money, but you will have rest of mind because your chances of being liquidated is very slim.

Does anyone know what strategy he uses and why he only trades long and how he gets those results? I understand he uses a bot?
The strategy which he used is that he used 2 leverage, if you are a trader and you use little leverage, then you won’t really be losing money, but your profit won’t also be much compare to if you are using a high leverage, but  we all know that risk management should be taken serious when trading.

I did it many times back when my addiction is very high, I promise not to gamble after I lose a big amount I even swear that I will not, but the following day I'm back even promising to be better and not lose a big amount again.

How many of us are guilty of this?
You just referring to me with this post which you just created, have tried to quit gambling so many times but at the end I still go back to it, sometimes am always setting limits for myself, but with time I will end up exceeding the limit, i don’t really know the spirit that’s in gambling, whenever i want to stop gambling, i will end up being pushed to go back to gambling and at the end I will end up losing money, and I will be regretting why I went back to gambling. even if i will be starting with just little amount, then with time I will end up increasing the amount I am gambling with. My addiction is not really high in gambling but sometimes I will want to stop gambling completely, but am always finding it difficult to do.

Arteta doesn't have good backup players when the squad feels tired or injured, of course Arteta doesn't have other players to rely on, even though Arsenal could have won the league this season, unfortunately Arteta didn't really manage their players at the end of the season, Arsenal have been around for so long top of the table before but unfortunately at the end of the season they looked tired and inconsistent.
Arteta tried in the just ended season but Arteta those not have much experience that was what stopped him from winning league for Arsenal, how will their be a team and you don’t have back up, toward the ending of the season, from Arsenal performance drop, you will know that those players are tired, how will you keep on using the same squad from the beginning of season till ending, they will get tired and that was what happened to Arsenal, Arteta tried but if am to blame anyone why Arsenal didn’t win the league, then am still going to blame Arteta for that. But am sure he will correct his mistakes before the next season will start, but if he those not, then Arsenal won’t really perform well next season.
1098  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Bitcoin for HODL on: June 09, 2023, 07:04:52 AM
Hello everyone!

I'm new here and I'm happy to write here finally.
Bitcoin has always been an interesting topic, when I first heard about it because I'm a friend of savings and store as value.
I don’t have much Bitcoin but as we know: not much Bitcoin can have much value in a few years. It is all about HODL.

I am confident that if you have the patience and the ability to hold your bitcoin for a long time, you won't regret making the investment. However, most people find it difficult to hold. I have been trying to accumulate and hold more bitcoin, but I haven't been satisfied with the amount am currently holding. However, whenever I have extra money that I know I won't be using right away, I will use it to accumulate more bitcoin, as I know everyone holding bitcoin will smile later in the future.

Not my keys, not my coins is an important advice. We need to be very safe to avoid getting hacked because coins stored on a centralized exchange are keys held by operators, not customers.
Many people make the very incorrect decision to leave their bitcoin on any exchange. If we look at the cryptocurrency exchanges that have been compromised since the creation of bitcoin, we will all be aware of this mistake. We should do all in our power to withdraw our bitcoin to a non-custodial wallet after purchasing it on an exchange.

I understand say based on the ban wey CBN impose on banks,  say make dem no exchange naira for bitcoin, di traders of bitcoin, come dey exchange for p2p. So I foda understand say a buyer go pay money into di account of a seller and di seller go transfer the cryptocurrency into the buyer wallet. So my question be, what if the buyer pay money into di account of the seller, den di seller no come transfer the bitcoin into di buyer account, no be scam be dat? And as bitcoin de banned for Nigeria, how di person go seek for justice for the scam?
Normally na from binance I dey always convert my bitcoin to naira and my naira to bitcoin, so binance don set things wey be say if you just follow how dem talk say make you dey run am, then e go dey difficult say dey go fit scam you because if you be seller and you tell binance say you never receive money, then they no go release coin for the buyer, before they go release coin, till d seller don talk say him him don see money before binance go release the coin give d buyer.

If the buyer claim say him don send money and d seller talk say him never see money, then binance hold d two accounts, and dey go talk say make d two of you provide evidence, na y if you wan use p2p make sure say na reputable exchange you go use. No just see person number for online den you go copy and start to dey trade with am, if that kin person scam u I no dey sure say u go get ur money back ooo.

Oh its fake. Someone part of me wishes this Sport to be true though.
Anything is possible these days just so people have something to do. One example of such crazy stuff that people are up to is the transgenders.
It will be kind of annoying to have sex in public and have people watching it, but I'm sure some people will be really interested in watching sports like that. However, to me, it doesn't really make sense. When I first saw the news, I was just wondering what kind of rubbish sport that will be. When I saw the news, I was just wondering how it will the sport be and how will gambling site’s implement it. I didn't really believe the news, but I know anything is possible, so I don’t have choice than to believe it.

Why was this published in the first place or are they trying to check the crowd's opinion about sex as sport?
Don’t be surprise when you see the sport being implemented later in the future, maybe they just want to hear people’s opinion but I know must people will be against that kind of sport, why will you be having sex in public and people will be watching it, it’s not really normal to me, so kids will be having access to watch people having sex in public.
