1141  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Altcoin season coming soon? on: December 22, 2023, 08:47:37 PM
Every season is altcoin season,  just like Bitcoin we can really tell when the next bull market will come and so much so we have seen some of the top coins making a market movement that is way out of investors' speculations many times we have seen many of the altcoin investors making a lot for them in terms of profits.

Solana is one of such altcoins that have given it investors tremendous profits within this period and that is highly commendable and a traction for us to pay more attention to altcoins in this season and let's see what comes out of that,  Ape as you mentioned is also a good token to take a look at and to see is it worth taking some risks on.
1142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana just reached $80!!! on: December 22, 2023, 08:32:11 PM
This recent resumption of growth, the movement on the positive, really tells us a lot, it confirms the stability of this currency, the Solana team is becoming more reliable. Everything is based on trust, if they make a mistake, the situation will change dramatically. Investing in Solana always involves risk.
Well I can still remember when some months ago the price of solana was nearly around $30  and my friend talked to me about it,  I never took them seriously since I was aware of the problem facing the network and at this point, we had gone past that era of nsolaba networks problems and for now, we are set and ready to go into the next phase of the project which have indicated a lot of possibilities in that regards.

To see Solana going almost to $100 in this period is something that we need to pay close attention to and follow up with the market and also have the risks in mind also,  this is best at a time to be able to check how deep we are into the price pump already.

If you don't have a source of income, trust me you will never become a responsible gambler, you will make all the mistakes in the book and you will be let with nothing, source of income is very important, it is the first step to take if you want to safely become a smart gambler.

It's not always about how many money you will make, trust me, it's about how many time you can afford to lose before you win some money, if you are not ready to experience this well it's better you look elsewhere, many gamblers don't know about this, all their minds are fixed on when they will make money.

To be a honest, I don't believe that anyone can just decide to get rich by becoming a gambler, it's not that easy, it's better to not even believe so, enjoy your time gambling for fun instead.
First of all, when you mentioned about the source of income you mean a job like a steady paying job if that be it then I can agree with you because in gambling you need to learn a lot of lessons along the way and the only way you can learn those lessons is via losing sometimes,  and in other to continue,  you may need to have another fund to bet with and if you don't have a source of income you won't be able to continue after you experience you loses.

Many times,  those who chose only gambling as a source of income have ended up being disappointed and to some point it has become obviously clear that gambling has no assurance and since it is a game of luck we can't rely on it for a sure repeated winning.

1144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 22, 2023, 08:12:37 PM
The match will be very difficult because neither team wants to lose, but I am confident that Aston Villa will try their hardest to defeat Sheffield and top the league table, because tomorrow's match against Arsenal and Liverpool will be very interesting to watch because both teams are performing well, and if they draw the game tomorrow, Aston Villa will still be leading the premier league table, but I don't think Liverpool will lose against Arsenal at Anfield. Because as you can see Liverpool are very good at home and they will not like to lose points, because if they lose the game, Arsenal will still be leading the table and I don't think Arsenal still has tough matches to play for now so it will be very difficult for Liverpool to top the league again, but tomorrow is an opportunity for them to continue topping the league if they can defeat Arsenal at Anfield.
There is already two goals attempt in the early minutes into the match between Aston villa vs Sheffield and to some extent both clubs are having same games and ball accuracy in this match which goes along go say that it may take a long time for both clubs to maintain their current gaoless game for some time before there be any possible goal from any of the team in this game.

But on Arsenal vs Liverpool tomorrow games,  it's very hard to speculate but if you ask me I will go for a draw bet between them,  and even though there may be any goals scored,  it is sure that in the first half, they will not record any goals from the match between both clubs since there also are of the same statistical level in performance.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: December 22, 2023, 07:59:13 PM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.
For sure they do,  most of the casino owners are even active in their live streaming and you can see how active they are on the games so that being said it goes along to answer your question of if casino owners also gamble on their own casino.

Many times,  some people believe that casino operators control the outcome of games,  but in reality, we must know that casinos are systems that are being run and at some point, it becomes clear that even the casino owner will be treated as a customer and not an insider he has to work to win the games and besides he can also lose too.
1146  Economy / Gambling / Re: Does anyone find the spate of online casinos a bit uninspired? on: December 22, 2023, 06:18:52 PM
The fact is that,  there is no way we can avoid scam casino projects and this is due to the decentralized nature of the market,  many times we are meant to believe that any casino project that just launched will serve their client well but at some point,  it becomes a tussle to get that happen in most especially in an era where the casino business become so lucrative and many fake teams find it attractive to get involved in it without taking the time to properly reflect on the needed necessities before diving into the business.

I want to suggest to embed your casino URL on the image to your OP so that anyone that will click on the image will go directly to the casino instead of to the image host website.

Thanks for the tip — already used it! Cheesy
Much appreciated
Nice to see that you are offering us a Christmas bonus and also just for clarity's sake,  do we have to make any additional settings before claiming the bonus on the account or once we make our first deposits,  the bonus will be added?

I just want to know to be aware of what to expect from the bonus and how best to go about my registration process so as not to miss out on the bonuses,  because I have experienced a similar problem before where I missed the bonus eventually due to none following my account set-up before deposits.
1148  Economy / Gambling / Re: What do you want to see in casino reviews? on: December 22, 2023, 05:32:13 PM
Reviews are windows that show us what to expect from the casino and it services this is because those reviews are reflection of other people experience on the casino,  so many times we look out to what satisfies the customers and how best they treat their clients anytime it happens that they run into a problem.

So for that what we should look out for in a good casino should be as follow.

1: fast transactions and privacy enhance the payment system.

2: level of KYC flexibility to suit customer needs.

3: what the level of their internal development is and what project they are up to?

This and many more are what make out for a good casino and also good review must contain a positive outlook with the above-mentioned points.
1149  Economy / Speculation / Re: What are we expecting between now and Bitcoin halving? on: December 22, 2023, 12:00:48 AM
First bull run coming up for me and after seeing the price of Bitcoin rally in the last few months particularly it is getting me somewhat excited for what is to come over the next few years.

I am just wondering what we are all expecting between now and the Bitcoin halving in April next year. Is it going to be a steady climb till then or is there usually a crash of some kind?

Up until now I have just been buying throughout the bear market and not sold anything , my portfolio is currently 26% in profit which I am happy with but wondering if I should keep holding till past the bull run or take some profits now.
Over the next few years,  how many years do you have in mind,  because I am sure that the majority of us here already know what the extent of our speculations will be,  because many of us already allocated a timing for our speculation and just as I expected from the title of the thread,  I am sure that you also have a time frame for your speculations and since you mention that the next Bitcoin halving which is around the corner with less than six month to the timing of that great event.

But we are still anticipating the best when that eventually happens because a lot of high hope have been placed on the next Bitcoin market bull,  which many believe will happen and it will come some weeks or months after the next Bitcoin block halves.
1150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: December 21, 2023, 11:31:26 PM
Vlahovic is one striker that’s being wanted by some Top English Clubs but the fact that Juventus doesn’t mind getting rid of him is because he’s not giving the goals they want as their striker, Juventus are in a keen contest for the league with Inter Milan and they don’t just need to defend goals but also score a lot and Vlahovic is falling short of that already, Juventus are all out in search of one who’ll help them get the goals and that already means Vlahovic is leaving the club.

 Well I doubt if Vlahovic would move to Manchester United, during the summer winter there was a negotiation between Chelsea and Juventus that didn't material, and I believe they might rekindle their interest for Vlahovic, cause they too are in serious need of a top 9 and Vlahovic would be more cheaper than Osimhen who they're Said to be after.
Do you think manchester united is search of a striker? I don't think so because last summer, they sign Rasmus Højlund from Atalanta and he's yet to deliver the club. We know Juventus can survived without the presence of their attacker, moreover they can sign more players in the upcoming transfer season, actually no room to underestimate any player who's in his prime at the moment. Dusan Vlahovic have been long written on the radar of EPL teams and they're actually fighting for his signature which the attacker claims to be comfortable in Turin.
I think with the current condition of things with Manchester united,  the club will not wait to see any player who is already in the team chance to recover or get used to things,  since their condition is in a bad state and at that also they have full pressure to deliver and if getting additional hand into the club will help the club to reach it hight of chances to pass through since Manchester United hadn't performed at their best up until now.

The January - February transfer window is still very open and I am sure that,  Manchester United in their wisdom will take advantage of that opportunity to bring in more good hands to add to the squad I ground to give better delivery to the club in the long run.
1151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 11:23:56 PM
After Barcelona had difficulty winning, yesterday it was Girona and Real Madrid's turn to play and both teams also didn't do very well in this round despite Real Madrid getting a victory. First I will talk about Girona who played against Betis, who in the last 5 games has collected draws, meaning that any team that plays against Betis already expects a draw, and in this game it was no different, Girona scored the first goal thanks to the penalty and could even If we assumed that Girona were going to win the game since the game was already 2 minutes from the end, then there would be no surprise, until Betis conceded a goal in the 88th minute and with that the game ended in a draw. It was really sad for Girona, who had victory very close and lost points

while Girona was losing points, Real Madrid were playing against Alaves who are a very weak opponent, without a doubt they were seeing this game as being a very easy task and would get 3 points, but the minutes passed and the goals didn't come in. and in the 51st minute the real madrid player received a red card, meaning real madrid started to play with just 10 players on the field and with that the difficulty of scoring a goal became very difficult and when it was thought that the game would end in a draw, Real Madrid managed to score a goal that gave them victory. With this victory, Real Madrid now has the same points as Girona and is 7 points ahead of Barcelona. I highly doubt that Real Madrid won't be champions this season
Just like I predicted to a draw for Girona vs Bentis in I e of the comments,  it's sad for Girona to have allowed bentis to come from behind in such manner and that is what we must likely see as a good point for real bentis because had it been that they were able to make the equalization goals when there still enough time,  I am sure real bentis could have won the match.

I don't know why Girona who is a more stronger club and team in this round become weak along the line because everyone expected a steady win for them but the reverse was the case and the outcome of the match have chucked everybody.
1152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 21, 2023, 11:17:15 PM
Everyone has their own chance of turning someone into a gambler who is addicted to gambling, especially if that person does not have good self-control while gambling. He will just continue gambling without limits because he has found pleasure in gambling and does not remember when he should stop gambling. Playing gambling requires self-control so someone who wants to gamble should already know how to treat gambling. If you can control yourself well and are not easily tempted to gamble longer than usual, you will not become someone who will become addicted to gambling because you can take care of yourself while gambling. Most people will lose self-control after gambling for some time and they will no longer remember their limits.

If i can understand the exact point being made here, you're saying that the way we also contributed to gambling addiction from our own individuals influence upon other gamblers matters alot, there's a way some gamblers will always want to make their gambling experience through the other people's influence on how they are gambling and how we don't even know or care about if others are really watching us from what we do while gambling.
Being an influence on someone means alot and just like you said,  some addicts don't know how to carry themselves and can easily expose they gambling act outside and putting it in some other person face most especially under age kids,  alot of times,  I have seen some gambler who organise parties anytime they win a big amount from gambling,  this is most likely that some of them have kids who are watching them and u wonder what kind of message the kids will be getting from them as parents.

So for sure our life also speaks to others and we may never know who are actions influences both known and unknown,  we all have to figure things out along the way.
1153  Other / Politics & Society / Re: women goes through a lot when they don't get married on: December 21, 2023, 11:05:26 PM
Every one of us both male and female play a vital role in society and as long as we keep educating and training ourselves to discover how to live a better life and increase the mortality rate,  many times such discrimination between women and men come along religion and ethnic line of thought and many of such are just fallacy of ideas that seek to satisfy some selfish desires and greed worst still religious that allow such line of thought.

Both males and females have the same capacity to perform at the same level of frequency both physically and mentally,  what matters is the level of training given to both,  there is a popular saying in my region and tribe that goes that (what a man can do,  a woman can do it better).

I don't want to believe that the above speech is just a statement that has no meaning for for that I will say that those who view women as inferior are doing so based on their lack of knowledge of the capability of women.
1154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard Rock to Hire 400 People Ahead of Rockford Casino Opening on: December 21, 2023, 10:34:44 PM
Aren't they a cafe? Sorry I'm a troglodyte who don't know shit about them besides T-shirts and for a while I thought they are more of a musician's cafe where you get to dine and listen to some awesome tunes, maybe buy nice vinyls as well. Didn't know that they are a casino as well lol. Or perhaps you're talking about a hard rock cafe opening up near a casino, which could be the case cause it's rare for established businesses to reinvent the wheel and offer something they don't initially provide to their users.

Anywho, I see this as an absolute win for employment. It's kinda hard to get by nowadays with people having to get two or three more jobs for them to have a passable income and a means to save and invest money, opportunities like this which doesn't stray far from what we're more inclined to do is welcome and is definitely appreciated. So props to you my friend for letting us know about this awesome job opening. Would be even better if this is work from home but hey, no complaints.
I have such thoughts also when I first hard of the name,  although it is a popular name and brand and I will not be surprised if some segment of the business deals with music or entertainment so for sure we have to look out for something similar to that on the long run,  but also on the opportunity that this development provides,  for those leaving in that region to get some jobs that could be based on hourly payment as this will be a big additional source of income for the people leaving around that place, having such high pay rate is something that is very fantastic and attractive to employees who may be looking for additional income.

More also to say this development is coming from a casino showing the increase in the usage and regulation of the gambling industry since this business has gained popularity in recent times.
1155  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All thanks to my family they contributed and bought bitcoin for me on: December 21, 2023, 10:11:36 PM
You should be grateful because you have good parents who support you about investing in BTC, and actually there are many parents who forbid their children from buying Bitcoin for many reasons and you are one of the lucky ones. Actually, you don't need to be nervous if you see the price of BTC continuing to rise, because if you buy before the halving, of course there is still a chance to make a profit. but op, continue to explore insights about bitcoin and of course investing in btc must use money that is ready to be lost, but you also have to have a strong intention, namely only selling BTC when there is a profit and don't panic, stay focused on your intention. op, I hope you are lucky in your investment in BTC and prove to your family and your parents that investing in BTC is certainly a good thing and very fun.
Yeah, I think the ops is very privileged to have a parent who can still give him money to buy some Bitcoin and this shows to a great extent the level of bond and love that exists in their family but then far from such that ops should rush to sell off such a gift,  because the only time,  the true potential of Bitcoin will reflect is when you hold it for long term base and this situation ops should give himself a long term perspective since he was gifted the funds to buy the Bitcoin.

Honestly, a few people have such privilege in the society we live,  to see such support from the family in something that not many understand it the way you does and how best you have to handle yourself to be able to buy at the right time and also hold for a certain period which only you understand most,  bitcoin is the most valuable asset of this century and at such, we may see a lot of such story on how we individually own our first Bitcoin and for sure I still remember how I felt when I first own my first Satoshi.
1156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Spending more or less money on Casino this Holiday season on: December 21, 2023, 10:02:05 PM
I am really glad to see by the results of the poll that people are spending less money on gambling in casinos and instead hopefully using that money to bring their friends and families joy this holiday! Or even using the money to improve themselves! Both are good.

I always try to spend as little money as I can on gambling, because I only gamble for fun. Sure, I might win or lose big sometimes, but I try to not let it get to my head. I would rather save the money on Bitcoin and give the BTC to a nocoiner as a Christmas gift. that ensures a better world, in my personal view


The majority of those who chose no,  that they are not gambling this holiday period are eventually going to gamble at the end of the day because many of them are going to have a long period pf free time and at that will want to ease out the time gambling and since this period we are going to be around friends and family who we have similar activities with we may endure in games but if not gambling anyways.

But those who are just going to take time off to rest will definitely gamble more this period and at the only way to avoid that is to schedule your timing and not spend too much time on anything that is in included in your timetable for this period if not so,  you will always fall back to gambling and even spending more time on it while you may not even notice that at some point.
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 21, 2023, 09:51:32 PM



Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.


Who ever that posted the screenshot in the group must be a core addict and if you check his debt profile you will already know how much debt he has incurred from this same approach that he has toward gambling,  I believe that many of your group members won't take him seriously because if they do it will result into massive debt increase among your department mates.

How can someone say you should take a loan to gamble with,  this is the most funny thing I heard in a long time,  even though many already know the risk tendency in gambling and how bad it could affect one life.
1158  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Solana - Is it still good to buy or it's FOMO on: December 21, 2023, 09:35:41 PM
If you still have your money with you I will strongly advise that you buy Solana and hold, it's one the of digital currency having best performance this season, you can check the chart to see how it has been performing well these days, people would have said alot of things about the existing past performance which may actually discourage, but looking at what Solana is upto now, it's one of the most preferred.
You are very correct with the fact about the potentiality and performance of solana for sure this coin remain one of the most top performing coins in this season haven't given it investors alot if opportunities to make good profits from its market behaviour in the past couple of weeks and running into months,  it clear that to chose Solana as for long term base is best among others but then also,  because of the previous experience with the market,  I think it better to make out time to DCA along the line and not just holding the coin for the long term since the market is full with an unexpected incidence that can hold any coin down for a while.

I will look more into this coin once again because I haven't really given Solana a thought but now that the project is becoming more popular and many of my friends already bought some,  I may give it a short-term shout to see what I can come out with from the market.
1159  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational on: December 21, 2023, 09:26:53 PM

Physical slots on physical casinos gives a entirely different and very good experience in playing slots, like that flashing lights, other people some are winning and creating funny environment, etc.
Digital casinos are not very fun to play, specially slots because only we can see graphics winning and losing with people chatting. which is like physical casinos but not very fun to play.
Live casinos are good because there we can see real people who is winning and chatting, etc.


Both the physical and the online crypto slots are both entertaining, we only make a choice base on our preference in what we want to have, gambling has the advantage is giving us priority of choice to varieties of selections, it's not a single way forward direction while getting entertained, but to the funny of it all, both online and physical slots were made available till date and we can have the option of choosing the best we feels like gambling through.

Well, I think there is always a difference and not all gamblers have that liberty of choosing whether to play on a physical or online casino. There are some cities on several parts of this world where you as a gambler will have to travel several miles before you find a physical casino where they have slot machines installed.

Like where I currently live, I've been living here for 3 years now, which tells you I relocated to this place in the year 2020, from then till now, I've not come across a full fledged physical casino where gamblers can play slot and other type of casino games physically, what we have plenty of them around here are betting agents, so to find a physical casino where I can play physical slot, I have to travel miles away, which to me makes no sense since I will be spending so much on transport fee, so, instead of spending such money and time with no guarantee of coming back with a good winning, I am forced or compelled to just keep playing on online casinos where I don't have to leave the comfort of my room.
Really I have not seen a physical casino that is closed Toy City and all that I have known is online casinos this is because the government laws in my country have not really been clear about gambling,  although gambling is not banned in my country, casinos business does not thrive so well here and just a few of them are in experience and most of them have no physical casino house and evtheireir have,  you need to travel several miles to see such physical casino house but I know of some other countries where gambling is very popular and its activities have advanced a lot and that have lead to so many development and establishment of physical casino houses and this have helped many gamblers to have access to that physical casino.

But I know this will change as time goes on and we see more adoption of gambling just as the market has kept on growing tremendously we may see more physical establishments coming close to us.
1160  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 09:08:47 PM
This should be an easy victory for Real against Alaves , especially when h2h record is 9-1 for Real Madrid and I also expect them to win with at least 2 goals difference. There is also a possibility for a draw here but that should make Girona very happy and build more confidence inside that team.


If there is a draw for Real Madrid, it would be a great opportunity for Girona. Girona should have won the match with Real Betis, it was a very important match for the leadership. Real Madrid will not lose this match and will retain the leadership position minutes later. Girona has a tough opponent next week. Can we say that they have done well thus far? Or is this journey not over yet? Frankly, I'm very curious.
Considering Real Madrid's current position and results in it is clear that the next couple of matches must be won at all costs because Real Madrid has been behind for too long in this season and at that they can't afford to hold on for long going forward and the Girona vs Real Madrid must be a win for Real Madrid regardless of what the situation is with Girona because they also need to win at all cost but Real Madrid is more position for a win in the match because of the available hands in the club and the team are more formed than Girona for now and that alone is big enough for them to strike a win sure and straight in the match.
