Very heartbreaking news, considering the the Numbers of individuals that trust in binance as a medium of exchange to FIAT and to hear this kind of news is really very very bad, now which other exchange can people entrust now? This is the more reason why it isn't advisable to leave ones cryptos on an exchange because of stories of this nature. Now everybody will be very scared and careful with binance because with the recent development now they actually gonna battle trust issues.

It is good when we watch the way we gamble, many had been gambling for so long but there is nothing to show for it. We can make profits when we peruse and study well on the bet we want or play next before we go in fully. Gambling is very good and can benefiting if we calm down and study a very good strategy and use it to maximize winning. We can be making profits from betting and feel relax that we are good and we don't have to labour more or read more for us to make more winnings. A good gambler does not relent on only one strategy, one need to be working and studying more to have greater opportunity to win.

So far as gambling is concerned, I don't think that there are strategies that one can follow and start recording success. Though it's also important to observe and learn maybe from the previous outcome of events before gambling but everything bounce to chance, it's a game of uncertainty as it isn't actually the way we predict it that the outcome will be. Gambling can be very good o especially for someone that hasn't recorded huge loss or someone that always win but there is no guarantee that one will keep winning.

I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?

Addiction to gambling isn't something anyone will want to experience as it's actually like giving all your life to gambling and you can't do anything in life without involving gambling related activities because even some ordinary arguments with a friend you can equally involve yourself in a bet with them. Though I've lost huge amount of money is gambling and I must say that keeping gambling records sometimes also helps in reducing the rate at which one gambles. I was deeply involved in gambling that sometimes I sell important things just to get money to play gamble so a day came I now check my gambling records and I discovered the huge amount I've lost so far so I got provoked and started reducing my gambling rate gradually though I still play gamble but it's not like an addiction because sometimes I spend weeks without gambling unlike before that I don't spend a day without gambling. So keeping these records helped me out of being addicted to gambling.
1084  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 21, 2023, 08:52:59 PM
There's a lot to always talked about when it's all about gambling, leaning never ends as we all commonly believed, in gambling also, I've learnt alot regarding taking risk i gambling, using money for gambling, fighting at the course of gambling, earning with gambling and losing money as well in gambling, all these would have taught as many of us a lifetime lesson we may never forget when it comes to gambling because we have witnessed how everything is being done when we fall into the category of those affected by one of them.
Experience gamblers are always having something to tell us about gambling because they have been gambling for a very long time and there should be a lot we can learn from them. Gambling is not easy and if we want to be making profits from it, we need to keep gambling without greed because that has severe consequences on our gambling activities and the only way we can scale through is for us to remove greed whenever we bet. It is good going closer to those people that had been betting for a long time at least for us to learn from them.

Of a truth, no matter how experienced you are in gambling or the number of years one has spent in gambling, it has done more harm than good. Gambling is purely game of chance as one may be lucky to win or not but however, Even if there maybe people who has achieved lots of success while gambling it doesn't mean they're perfect in it.  

Sometimes seeking advice from people that seems very experienced in gambling can be very risky because for the fact that they have recorded more successes in gambling might make you trust their predictions so much to the extent of staking huge amount of money with the hope that you will win so at the end of the day if the bet fails one might actually run into depression and confusion so the best is just to gamble as you can be able to endure in a case of losing your money while betting.
1085  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would You Crowdfund for a Gambler Who Has Gambled Irresponsibly? on: November 21, 2023, 08:33:38 PM
A few days ago, I posed a question in this forum, wondering if, as someone who engages in gambling, you've ever considered thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run. I carefully went through all the responses, maintaining keen interest and taking note of each perspective. Another aspect of the inquiry involves whether you would be willing to participate in crowdfunding for a fellow gambler who reaches out to the public through social media seeking financial support after they gambled with the funds meant for an important project like, investment, school fees, rent, marriage or any other thing. And what would you say to those who go ahead to donate to these gamblers out of a sense of empathy?

Well it depends the kind of person that is involved because there are some persons in the society that are known for awful behaviors so those kind of people when they're the ones that are involved in spending money given to them for important things or projects, it will be difficult to raise fund for that kinda person but if it involves someone that isn't used to such behavior but suddenly he starts behaving in such manner, people will have compassion on the person because they know he isn't a wayward person so something most have made him take such a decision without thinking about the outcome, so they can possibly raise fund for that kind of person, give them advice and way to scale through their challenges so definitely donating money to someone that carelessly misused funds that ought to be used for other important things is actually dependent on the behavior and characters of the individual involved.
1086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling? on: November 21, 2023, 08:23:29 PM
Though for me no one introduced me into gambling just that I saw a friend that plays gamble and wins sometimes then he will take me out where we will chill and enjoy ourselves so i started developing interest and I was now following him to gambling hall then I normally make predictions myself and I win sometimes and lose most times but I just took it as fun since a lot of people were gambling together with me so I just normally have fun doing it and I always scrap out an amount that i will gamble with so as soon as I exhausted the amount I budget to gamble with I will just sit and watch others playing gamble.

It was that same Friend of mine that started regretting when he got addicted to gambling to the extent that he mostly sells his properties just to raise money to gamble so a day we went to gambling hall and he lost his salary at a spot while gambling so he started accusing the person that introduced him into gambling that had it been the person didn't lure him into gambling that he wouldn't have gotten himself involved in it. But for me everything that one does in life is just by choice irrespective of the person that persuaded you into it so it's left for you do accept or decline to it.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: November 21, 2023, 07:40:06 PM
Trust me there are actually people who consider gambling as something that would change their destiny for good, and instead of setting a gambling limit for themselves, they set a win threshold, in a sense that if their win isn't up to that amount they'll keep playing until they realize they're left with nothing. And in order to meet their win threshold faster they end up making very high stakes couple with high odds which makes it difficult for them to win.

No matter how successful someone is in gambling, it doesn't mean that your life should be dependent on gambling to make ends meet. If someone records some huge success in gambling, the best is to invest on other things that will yield great results in the future. And again for someone that records success in gambling and setting a threshold of an amount you have in target is not a good idea as you might lose everything you won in the quest to reach your desired threshold amount.

I've actually heard of someone who walks into the casino, after playing and almost exhausted his funds but fortunately for him, makes a significant win and instead of leaving the casino with his win, he walks away leaving his money there in the casino just so he can come next time to try to win more. I mean who does that? Gambling is indeed not an investment or something or a kind of a steady income. It's a 50/50 thing, you win sometimes and loose sometimes.

This happens more when someone is addicted to gambling and sometimes it also happens to people that sets a winning target that unless they reach the amount they have in mind that they wouldn't withdraw their money, living money that in won in the casino just to come next time and continue is very wrong as one can't be lucky every time although sometimes leaving ones money in the casino and coming back later may be good instead of continuous playing after a win but none is advisable, it is better the amount being won is withdrawn rather than leaving it in the casino.
1088  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 21, 2023, 07:01:39 PM
Things that every gambler must avoid is playing gambling when they are bored, chasing to return capital and gambling over an excessive time limit.  i have also experienced this, but for now i will not do that again, when i run out of capital that i have set for today, i will stop, i will try to return my capital again tomorrow, because my luck will definitely be different. tomorrow.  The main rule in gambling is don't be greedy and don't chase after returning your capital one day, let it all start again tomorrow. 

I agree that when we continue to chase returns on capital in gambling, it will only make us deepen our losses. However, there is one point that I don't quite understand about "gambling when you're bored".? Because isn't gambling supposed to be done in your spare time? or are we the ones who take the time to gamble...? However, if we have to take the time to gamble, how important is gambling?

I myself also gamble when boredom strikes, where my tasks and work are finished. That's when I felt bored because I couldn't find other activities that could give me pleasure, or just fill my free time. And as long as I gamble, I have never experienced a significant loss.

Well for me I don't think gambling when one is bored is a good idea because most times when we are bored it is believed that one isn't really in the right state of mind at that particular time so gambling at that time may not really work out well more especially when someone is losing a bet because it will make the person to be so unhappy and angry at same time. So gambling should be done at a time when you're in your right state of mind so that even if you don't win you can still be happy and cheerful.
1089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 21, 2023, 01:50:00 PM
Skills only take the lead where it's really needed, how many gambling games can be won with Skill? Maybe poker that's it, and even in poker you still need to be lucky to win, I think gambling is asking for luck more than a skill player, even someone who have no idea about gambling before can decide to start today and he is welcome with good winning, you can also see that many gamblers that are highly skilled still struggles to win from time to time.

Either skilled or not, what I have understand about gambling is that the 99% will always lose money and they 1% will be the lucky ones, if it's all about skill there will be many gamblers who are millionaires today, it's not easy to be a gambler who wins most of his time gambling.



When we talk about skill we are talking about what we learn and know it perfectly that at any time it can be defended very well, now gambling is a game of chance that no matter how you claim to know gambling we still end losing most times so by this explanation we can see that gambling is pure luck that's why it ought to be played for fun so if one gains while gambling it doesn't mean they can be lucky as well next time.

Sometimes, knowing about some ethics like checking from previous events and also referencing the outcome to the current event also helps as it will give an edge to know the procedure to follow in other to win

I think Erik Ten Hag's coaching was a nice change in the early days of the team. But it has changed over time. He may be the source of the team's problems. Since he is the team's problem, it is necessary to consider the possibility of being sent off from the team. Manchester United players must now play more ambitiously for their team, and for this a coach like Mourinho is essential.

Eric Ten Hag is definitely the problem Manchester united is facing now, since his coaching techniques and tactics ain't working anymore the best is for him to evacuate the club rather than waiting for him to be sacked by the club. For me if a coach sees that he isn't making a head way in the club he should rather resign and go to another club, he might even perform better if he goes to another club. Manchester united needs a coach that can align with their way of play so until such a coach comes to the club they might still be finding it difficult to win more matches. Players requires to be in good understanding with their coach before they can be able to perform real good in matches.

This is the main reason I do not like international breaks and games, players tend to be more vulnerable to injuries and this sad incidents is channel to affects the important players that served vital roles on the pitch in  elite teams. Vinicius Júnior is affected, first it was Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Anthony Rüdiger, Aurelio Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and now we have Vinicius Júnior, can Real Madrid be able to keep the top race with the absence of these players? I think Carlo Ancelotti will figure a way like he always do, more reason I respects him.
Agree. It risks players very much, they have no enough time for the rest. Moreover, they will play seriously in the international matches because they play for their country. With the injury of Vinicius Júnior, Real Madrid has 8 injured players. Sadly, almost all of them are Real Madrid main players. I don't know how Ancelotti to dal with this injury problem. With no Vinicius in the from line, Real Madrid probably replace him with Brahim Díaz or Joselu. Or Ancelotti will try to change again the formation and tactic.  Undecided

Though international breaks leads to so much of injuries as most key players of the clubs return back from the international break with series of injuries however, players actually need to turn up and represent her country in international competition as it will boost the players confidence and also the player will receive accolades from his country. The only problem is that I don't know how roughly international competitions has been to the extent that after international breaks players return back to their clubs wounded.

Ajax Amsterdam is having a season away from its former spotlight. The players are not playing well at all. They are having one of the worst seasons in recent years both in the league and the European league. It is impossible not to feel sorry for the situation the team, which is a factory for young players, is in. I hope Ajax recovers as soon as possible.

Ajax Amsterdam is really not in good form since the start of the season but sacking a coach that has helped the team achieve such level of victory in the Eredivisie is not nice at all. Maurice Steijn has led Ajax Amsterdam to a 36 title record in Netherlands, so for him to be sacked simply because he is finding some difficulty in the club wasn't the best decision Ajax Amsterdam would have taken, I mean the league hasn't gone too far yet and there are still more matches to be played of which there might come to a time when the club will start turning around and return back to their winning ways instead of sacking Maurice Steijn, a coach that sacrificed most of his coaching career for Ajax Amsterdam, he would have been given more time to continue and make a difference.
1095  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How Many Child Boards do We asked? on: November 19, 2023, 01:23:26 AM
Well for me , I have already selected an option in the pool which is the naija politics and other discussion because I believe this makes it a little less insulting Grin as having one of your discussion moved to off-topic even if it's in the local board.
Other discussion will make the main local board to very less active, because all non bitcoin related threads are going to be reported and moved to other discussion. Later it will only result to people want off-topic board again. Off-topic board is not insulting but should be for what it should be for.

If other discussion should be created, we still need off-topic board, which would be what will later happen.

I think I concur to your opinion about the off-topic board, normally this forum was created for bitcoin discussion and bitcoin related activities so the main local board should serve for discussion about bitcoin while every other discussion should stand as an off-topic discussion. Navigating through the local board we can see that most of our discussion in the board are centered on politics, society, and the economy, so all of these can serve as off-topics therefore creating a sub board that will stand as a medium to interact and discuss threads that ain't bitcoin related should all be classified as off-topics.
1096  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 18, 2023, 05:43:59 PM
I don’t think Ten Hag will be worried about losing his job at this time in the season. Results are turning in their favor whether we think it’s impressive or not. The champions league may be the deal breaker, it will be really bad if they are knocked out of every competition. That will be a red flag for ETH to leave. Jim Ratcliffe will be looking to make some changes to the club, he has already told Ten Hag to sort his issues with Sancho. It’s left to Ten Hag to bury the hatchet with Sancho and do his best to assure the new owner of his ability to deliver

Already Eric Ten Hag doesn't really have much faith in his contract as united coach because from their poor performance so far I think he might be sensing an end to his contract at united. The only thing that can save Eric Ten Hag at this material time is to secure winnings consecutively otherwise am afraid he might be heading his way out of Manchester united.

For me Eric Ten Hag can't really revive Manchester united as his coaching tactics are not in consonant with Manchester united's play pattern. United needs a coach that can understand their play method and put it into practice before they can start recording long time success in the club.
1097  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 18, 2023, 05:31:50 PM
It seems Ancelotti knows that, if Bellingham get injured then he has other options at there, but Real Madrid current situation is not good. Because two other players have also been confirmed have suffered injuries during the international break, although Real Madrid will not face a top team in the upcoming match. Because if according to the schedule they will face against Cadiz, which is a team that is not too strong in La Liga. But even so, the Cadiz team should not be underestimated because in several previous meetings 21/22 the Cadiz team was able to make a surprise them with a draw result.

Meeting a weaker team doesn't mean that the club will not be affected if their key players are injured. No matter how inconsistent or backwards a team is they should never be underrated. Belingham has been of great performance for sometimes now and I think Real Madrid should find a replacement for him on time should incase of injury so that his absence might not be of great concern to his team. No matter how good a player is, making provision for him should incase he isn't fit for a match should be an utmost duty of a coach as they can't rely to comfortably on any players performance as uncertain things are meant to happen. Take a look at Manchester city despite the fact that their key midfielder Kelvin De Bryune has been out due to injury for sometimes now but yet the club is still doing well because they've got replacement for him.
1098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: November 18, 2023, 05:21:49 PM
We have to make sure that nothing else can have a bad effect on the children during their childhood. In front of children, if we lose money by gambling and lose money, we sit upset, on the other hand, if we earn money by gambling, we are more cheerful, but it will definitely affect the child. A person who gambles in front of their children may not know how much harm they are unknowingly doing to their children. People who do this should be careful now because years from now when your child asks you about gambling, you will have nothing to answer. Everything has a certain age, it's a different matter if your child becomes interested in gambling on his own when he learns to understand but we need to be careful not to have any negative influence on his development during childhood.

Not a single parent does not want his children to gamble, even if he is a professional gambler and makes a living playing gambling, because it can lead to serious problems. Each of us wants our children to get a good education and find a high-paying job, but unfortunately this is not possible for everyone. Keeping children away from information that they are not ready for due to their age is a very important stage in the educational process.

Though gambling isn't that bad for our kids to know because it's rather they're taught on the advantages and disadvantages of gambling by their parents than to allow them to grow up and be influenced to play gamble by their friends. It is very advisable for parents to teach and educate their children on this that can damage their lifestyle at an early age because if we do that they are going to grow up with what they are taught by their parents and it will make them to understand they dangers that surrounds taking such actions.

For me hiding ones gambling habit from the kids is not to good because whatever thing you're hiding from your kids one day they will definitely find out what you're hiding away from then so when they are aware of things you do that isn't really that good it will enable the kids to abstain from such practices when they are growing up. Even if they are to partake in that habit but they will be responsible in it since they've been taught about the do and don't by their parents.
1099  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Economic challenge shouldn't be limitation to your project on: November 18, 2023, 05:09:17 PM
OP you make sense o but base on the fact that we are making efforts to earn a living and meet up our projects doesn't necessarily mean that we shouldn't have time to also enjoy ourselves or rather go out with friends to have fun. Inasmuch as life is concerned, we should not be too attached to anything that will deprive us from taking good and appropriate care of ourselves all in the name that we want to meet up life obligations.

Some persons due to the fact that they are handling a project or rather making investments, the deny their selves good and healthy lifestyle simply because they have a target, ofcourse we all have targets in life but we should also know that the most important need of human is the daily bread, inasmuch a man can provide food for himself and his family every other thing comes after.

We should understand that we didn't create ourselves and nobody can predict exactly how the future is gonna be so we should be able to do things at our own reach and not go extra miles to please ourselves or anybody. Am not saying that we shouldn't invest, investments is very important because the investments we make today stands as a relief to our future generation as they will not struggle too much to meet up life obligation since we've already set a path for them.
1100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 18, 2023, 09:59:58 AM
If you look at strength, PSG is indeed much stronger, but this season PSG is often inconsistent and so is Monaco, this is the same team that is inconsistent in my opinion, so anything can happen.
While the smaller odds for PSG are indeed feasible because the winning percentage is greater for them because it all looks at the team's strength.

For the whole of this season, even though PSG is inconsistent, I don't see any strong competition from other teams to stop PSG from winning Ligue 1 because other teams are also inconsistent, so no one can take advantage of PSG's underperformance to leave them on the standings.

Though PSG may not seem to be consistent but they're doing well as they are currently topping their league table and considering the fact that Nice drop points and PSG took the advantage to top the league table so they wouldn't want to drop points at this material time because dropping points might actually give Nice and edge to reclaim the top of the table. So I believe PSG will really fight so hard in other to win Monaco, though Monaco isn't also an easy opponent because they won PSG in their last meeting so they might also be looking forward to win them again in their home ground but I don't see possibility in Monaco winning PSG.

It's rather very quick to determine who wins the trophy now as there are still more matches ahead to be played so tipping PSG as possible winner this season may not really work that way as their are also teams that are consistent in winning despite some drop in points.
