You should always read the ToS of any casino or whatever site that needs you to deposit and withdraw of funds before you deposit any funds into it. You have gone against the casino's rule, and I don't think the anything can be done because the chance is very slim.

You should take your mind of withdrawing the money because your money is gone. Some gamblers didn't even have a second account, but sometimes when they win big, some casino deprives them from withdrawal saying that they have a second account, and for that reason they will not give them access to withdraw. Yours is very clear, so don't expect any miracle. You can open an account with a different reputable casino to continue gambling, and see if you will be lucky again.

OP, this is a good way to show love to children in our localities. I appreciate you, for extending your generosity to this government school pupils to enhance their learning, because book is very important for anyone who is in school. It is a thing of joy to see that you can contribute the little that you have a assist people.

You are promoting bitcoin in your own grand style, even though these pupil are still very young to know their left from their right. However, the awareness of bitcoin will be useful to their teachers and from there, you might see one of the teachers that will pick interest. The logo of bitcoin on the book is something that these pupil will not forget when they see it in some other places.

Great work OP.

Good leadership has being a problem for Nigeria since from the 90s. The ammoying thing is that the new government is always performing poorer than the previous. Instead the new government will inflate more suffer and hardship on the citizens, compared to the previous ones. The fact is that the people that forces themselves into power through manipulation, are only after to loot the country's funds.

Nigeria is too big for these politicians to keep in a bad state based on economy. From what I have come to realize, I think that Nigeria is too big for one man to rule. The problem of Nigeria is too big, and if only one man is in control, he will get confused, and just forget about doing anything than to steal. The country needs to break into two.
1144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which of these betting Statements Do you Agree or Disagree With? on: March 01, 2024, 09:14:09 PM
1. Don't bet all your money on one bet.
I don't do this, because I will gamble again, and when I use it all in one bet, my gambling activities will stop for the week, since the probability of losing the game is high. This is because I have used all my gamble budget on one game. Any gambler that is not disciplined, and uses all his money one one bet, and losses it, might start looking for other means to get funds in order for him to chase his losses.

2. Bet the same amount on every bet.
It depends on your betting mood, because sometimes, you might want to wager a high amount, and sometimes a smaller amount. What matters to be is that I can be able to gamble when it is my gambling time.

3. Don't bet more than once a day.
I do gamble only when I am back from work in the evening, but not regularly. I have a time limit in which I use in gambling, and when the time elapse, I stop gambling. You can bet more than once a day, as long as you are not over doing it, it is not bad.

4. Don't bet every day.
There is a time that you will be too busy, that you wouldn't be able to think of gambling on that day, it all depends on how you feel that you can gamble to make you safe from addiction. Sometimes when I am busy, I only bet during the weekend, to free myself from the week stress.
1145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 01, 2024, 06:47:29 PM
Arsenal has not won the Premier League title for many years now, and in those years they were not competing for the title. Either Arsenal has missed out on qualifying for the Premier League top four or they will be playing in the European League in the next season. Since Mikel Arteta became Arsenal's head coach, Arsenal almost won the league last season, and Arsenal is also in the Premier League title race this season. There is an improvement at Arsenal now.
Currently, teams such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool, each of which still has a big chance of becoming Premier League champions this season. Currently the competition between the three teams is still very fierce, but if you look at the condition of the teams and squads owned by the three teams. Manchester City does have the opportunity to win the EPL again, because Liverpool has many injured players so they are very vulnerable to losing points in important matches.

As for Arsenal, they are still developing under Arteta and are continuing to improve every season. maybe next season they will be perfect in terms of squad and mentality to compete for the EPL trophy. because this season Arsenal has not been able to compete consistently, especially if you look at the remaining matches Arsenal still have to face strong teams such as Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United.

It is still quite difficult to predict which team will win the Premier League, but at least it is clear that 3 strong candidates will fight for the trophy. Unlike last season, I think Man City, Liverpool, and Arsenal have an equally strong chance in this season. Maybe Liverpool is currently facing quite difficult obstacles with many players suffering from injuries, but no one knows if in the future the situation will reverse, where it will be Man City and Arsenal who will have to deal with injury problems.
It might be a big problem for Liverpool to win the league, even as they are leading with one point, because of their injured players, but if they can Klopp can stay use the available players in a which which they can keep on winning their matches, it will be possible for them to win win the title. However, the point difference is too close that any club ahead of the other just drop points, the club below will overtake immediately.

I still see Manchester City to be more confident, and is likely to be consistent than Liverpool due to their own problem, and Arsenal. Arsenal might be looking strong, but I still doubt that they can remain consistent. The club to win the league is still unpredictable, and anything can happen, because football is full of surprises.

This is the problem of addiction, if not why will a gambler pile up debt without paying it, and allow his children to inherit it. Gambling should not be done with loans, so that it will not be a problem to pay back, because it is always hard for someone that is addicted to pay back his debt.

The family of an addicted gambler always get affected by the his lifestyle in one way or the other, and this is why we need to have self control over our gambling activities, and also gamble responsible, so that the properties that we left for our children, will not be used to replace our debts. It is normal in my country, that the family of the deceased will pay off the debts of their father.

1. Nodes are computers that are running the bitcoin program, and the are connected together to generate a network. Nodes are always sharing information to each others of new transactions, and confirmed transactions , and they also keep the copy of every transaction made in the blockchain. To run a node, all you need is the internet, and you download the bitcoin client, which is a software on your OS.

2. With the nodes connected together to get a network, it makes it very hard for any attack on the blockchain, because any transaction that is invalid, the nodes will rejects it.

1148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: your perception about gambling on: February 29, 2024, 07:45:35 PM
Gambling is open to all, but people misunderstand that it is not everyone that gambles is irresponsible, because there are a lot of responsible gamblers who gamble in secret and no one knows if they are gamblers or not. Online casinos have made gambling private, and one can gamble from his comfort zone without no one knowing that he is a gambling.

Why some people see gambling as something bad, is because a lot of gamblers go into gambling, thinking that it is a get rich quick thing, and before they know it, they lose and keep on chasing their losses, and might end up with frustration, and depression due to addiction . Most of them because they are addicted, they don't care about themselves, and they will look unkempt, and sometimes they can steal money to gamble or borrow money to gamble and will never be able to pay back.

This makes many people see gambling as something that is for hopeless people and they will feel that every gambler will end up in a bad condition at the end of the day. It is the addicted gamblers that makes people see gambling as something bad, because the harm it has done to them.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 29, 2024, 06:32:11 PM
Inter Milan's total points at the top of Italy's Serie A table are 69 points after they beat Atlanta yesterday. If not for that Atlanta goal that was canceled yesterday, your correct score prediction for the Inter Milan and Atlanta match would have been close. With the 4-0 win against Atlanta yesterday, Inter Milan is leading Juventus with 12 points.
And thanks to the gap that has now become 12 points over Juventus, Inter Milan can feel relieved while playing several more matches before winning the championship trophy this season. I wouldn't think that Juventus would be able to cover that much of a gap again from now on because it is almost impossible for Juventus to catch up this season. And in my opinion, Juventus being able to secure the runner-up position this season is extraordinary even though they didn't win a single trophy.

With only few goals scored in most games, I doubt Juventus could reduce the gap at the time we see Inter Milan knocking top teams like Atalanta by 4 goals to 0! Just to understand the difference of performance, AC Milan just got 1 point against Atalanta!
Inter Milan will obtain the scudetto for sure and Juventus have to maintain some distance from the others to have a chance to play in Champions League next season.

This season, Juventus' performance is not as good as Inter Milan's performance. Even if you look at the standings table, this season is indeed better than last season. However, when it comes to winning the Scudetto, I think Juventus' hopes are no longer high. Because if you look at Juventus' current situation, Juventus will find it very difficult to win the Scudetto this season. Because

  • Juventus has quite a big difference in points with Inter Milan, the leader of the standings
  • The performance of the players is also not good this season.

So even with these two points, it can be answered that Juventus' hopes of catching Inter Milan are very difficult. Because in the last few matches, Juventus couldn't even beat clubs that were ranked lower in Serie A. For example, when Juventus faced Udinese who were ranked 15th, in that match Juventus couldn't win but instead lost. Apart from that, when they played against Verona, who were ranked 17th, in that match Juventus were also unable to achieve a win but could only achieve a draw. And against Empoli who are ranked 13th, Juventus could only manage a draw.

So with Juventus' poor performance this season, I think it will be very difficult for Juventus to get the Scudetto.
It is clear that Juventus will never be able to catch up with Inter, due to the big point gap currently, talk more of winning the league. Apart from that Juventus will not be able to win their rest matches, but I am sure that Inter will be able to win 10 matches out of 12 matches that are left. This is because Inter don't want to lose any game that will make them drop points. I was surprised that Inter won Atlanta on clean sheet, and Atlanta found it difficult to play Inter.

I don't know if Inter players and Inzaghi went in conclusion to always win their matches with 4 goals , because from what I have observed this year, Inter have won most of their matches with four goals. If Juventus can catch up with Inter on points, and they are on the same points, Inter will still win with big goal difference. This is why it is over for Juventus hope on the title race.

If you are earning in cryptocurrency, then it wouldn't be a problem to gamble with bitcoin, because if you are using a certain amount every week as your gambling budget, if you still convert your bitcoin to fiat, it will still be the same amount.

As a gambler, you have to gamble, and as long as you are enjoying the crypto casino, then you don't have any other option than to gamble with cryptocurrency. It is gamblers that earn in fiat, and cannot risk the little crypto that they have for fun, will prefer to gamble in their local fiat.
1151  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: February 29, 2024, 12:12:49 PM
 
Snip
so let me get this right, are you suggesting it's best to buy during a bullish period as this only to wait for another bullish period when the price would have torshed this  current $60k point? I know for those that have the ability to doing a ten to twenty year holding, it might be reasonable and okay for them but I feel it's best to buy during the bearish period so you don't necessarily have to wait forever before your holding yields a good profit.
There is no point saying that the best time to buy bitcoin is the bearish season. There are three options of holding which are dip and HODL, lump sum and DCA. For me DCA is the best option because waiting for bearish season to buy bitcoin is not a wise investment strategy. Because you might wait for internity and btc price may not fall withing your expectations.
Those that waited for btcbto fall to thee expectations has waited and wasted there time now they are regretting why they didn't buy when it was necessary. In bitcoin investmet, delay is dangerous.


I don't like waiting for the dip, but if you are lucky enough to have enough funds to lump sum at the dip of the bottom line, it is the best. This is because one will not see that price again, and any bitcoin that you accumulate during that time will give you the highest profit, as long as you will hodli for a long period of time. It is good that as a beginner in whatever plan that you want to use in accumulating your bitcoin, you don't stop DCAing, because it is the only way in which you use to build up your bitcoin stash to a significant size.

What I do is that I don't lump sum, when bitcoin price is as high as this, I only DCA weekly, even though, I will only acquire a little fraction of bitcoin. Adding to your bitcoin constantly give me that rest of mind that my portfolio is increasing. Opportunity comes but once, and I believe that bitcoin has given me the opportunity to invest and grow my investment irrespective of the price, because who knows if the price of bitcoin might be unaffordable in future by the poor, and those of us who take advantage of bitcoin now and invest, and grow your bitcoin portfolio will be among the rich when that time comes.

Good time to do this

The best way to invest in bitcoins is the DCA method I accept, but how much do you invest in bitcoins? 
After investing in Bitcoin, you should be prepared on how to protect it for the long term. You see many here discussing DCA method only famous people who have invested in Bitcoin since past time. But there is a new way to invest in Bitcoin now and not for the 2024 halving. The DCA method is a method that allows you to hold bitcoins for more than 5 to 10 years. It is recommended to hold Bitcoin for the long term here, from this discussion many investors will hold Bitcoin for a long time.

DCA method does not allow you to hold bitcoin for long, but instead it allows you to buy bitcoin regularly either weekly or monthly with ease and grow your investment without stress and tension, as long as you are not using the money that you will need for an emergency or basic needs to buy bitcoin. What enables you to hodli for long is when you have your emergency funds and reserve funds available so that you don't go back and sell your bitcoin. You must also be disciplined, and remain focus on long term goal, so that you don't get carried away with the little profit on bitcoin due to price fluctuations. Bitcoin long term hodli needs sacrifice for the future.
1152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Do You See Losing Your Weekly Payment to The Casino on: February 29, 2024, 07:57:39 AM
Spending a portion of your payment back to that same casino is likely a form of support because you're returning a small portion they've spent on advertising.
I see it differently. I see it as spending the money or part of the money you earn from signature campaign to gamble on the gambling site that has the signature campaign as a means you are looking for money. The person will be disappointed if he or she losses the bet. There is no support in this. If you can not afford to lose the money, withdraw all your money. I do not like gambling sites that pay signature campaign payment to their sites, it is better they send it to wallet address instead which can discourage people in the campaign not to use their weekly payment to gamble.
I don't see it as something bad, because gambling site are the ones paying the money and they can choose paying to your casino wallet or your BTC wallet, anyone that is not cool with it, will not apply to support the casino project. However, no casino will force you to gamble, but you will do it at your own will, so whatever the outcome is, you should take be blame, and not putting it on people as an excuse.

I don't know why some gamblers don't have self control on gambling, the moment they see little funds, their whole body will start shaking, they will credit their gambling account immediately and start gambling not thinking if that is the right thing to do or not. This is why a gambler needs discipline on his gambling activities, so that he doesn't end up using the money that he wanted to use for other things to gamble, because of greed, thinking that he will be able to double the money.

OP, anyone gambling in a casino is not supporting their project, but he is after the casinos money, because he is after making profit, that is just the fact. We are all gambling because we feel and hope that we can be lucky, and win big. This is why a gambler needs to gamble with only the amount of money that he can afford to lose.

Panicking Coinbase users woke up today to find their bitcoin balances at $0 because of a technical glitch.

Source: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/bitcoin-s-price-surge-briefly-broke-coinbase/ar-BB1j4tNN

Well at least they were lucky that it was just a glitch! I will never understand why normal people are keeping their coins in an exchange and not even in a software wallet. People who are not trading coins do not need to use an exchange. It is just ridiculous seeing people on X/Twitter having a mental breakdown over this even after hearing about "not your keys, not your coins" so many times.
Those people that keep their coins in an exchange are gambling with their coins, and I will say that they are the ones putting themselves into panic, because I don't see any reason why someone who is not a trader will turn deaf ears to the advise of using a noncustodial wallet, despite all the news about the flaws in exchanges, and still continue to keep their coins with third party.

Imagine assuming it wasn't a glitch, but an exit scam or a hack. These people will start blaming Coinbase, instead of blaming themselves for not learning from what happened in the past to FTX. I just hope that other investors who  still keeping their coins on exchanges will learn from this, and also these panicking Coinbase customers will also transfer their coins to a noncustodial wallet after the glitch is fixed. It is 50/50 using an exchange to keep your coins, and don't be a victim, because the risk is higher than what you benefit from the exchange. Anyone with High Blood Pressure might collapse, when he checks his account in Coinbase and sees $0

This is the fun in gambling, when you use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to bet, you will be surprised that you will win at the right time when it is your lucky day. I can see the excitement in your from your post. Gambling is cool, when you gamble and don't expect any wins, but your bet turns out to be a win.

Nobody is smart in gambling, if not we will have a lot of gamblers making money through gambling, and this is why people that thinks that gambling is all about smartness or their skills, will continue chasing their losses, thinking that they made a mistake on their last game, which is not true.
1155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2023/2024 on: February 28, 2024, 09:29:09 PM
the match between Nottingham Forest and Manchester United remains evenly poised, with neither team able to secure a lead in the first half, resulting in a scoreline of 0-0. However, Manchester United has showcased superior gameplay, asserting their dominance and positioning themselves as the frontrunners to clinch the victory. With the second half yet to unfold, the outcome of the match remains uncertain, but Manchester United appears to have the edge based on their current performance.
It is goalless, and the match is on the 74th minutes. Manchester United need to win this match or else it will be annoying, because it shows that they are not taking their matches serious to get a good outcome. Manchester is in dominance of the game but they are still finding it difficult to break the deadlock. They keep missing their chances of scoring.

If the match ends up in a draw, there will be an extra time, and a penalty shoot out if none of these two clubs are able to find the back of the net. Forest is not relenting, but they are also trying their best to calm the pressure down, and create opportunities for themselves so that they can score. Any club that scores now, will be the winner of the match. This is what I feel.

1156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 28, 2024, 08:26:15 PM
Updates from the current ongoing match between Inter and Atlanta in San Siro. Atlanta started the match with high pressure of trying to score an early goal, but the goal that Atlanta scored was canceled after VAR checked it out, there was a hand ball before the goal was scored. This motivated and awaken the beast in Inter, because they never believed what they saw with their eyes that Atlanta almost got an early goal.

After that moment, Inter started playing aggressively, and that led to a beautiful goal by Darmian on the 26th minutes to put Inter on the lead. Inter has lost two great chances that they failed to convert to a goal. If Inter wins this match, it means that they are 12 points clear stand from Juventus, and they have 12 more games to play before the end of the season. Atlanta was able to equalize the goal that Milan scored, and the match ended as draw. Who knows if that is what might happen here, but Milan is not Inter, so I doubt it.

Inter 1-0 Atlanta
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 28, 2024, 07:33:34 PM
What a bless to see the second games in the next week, for me the definitive games are much mroe worth to see than the first one of the leg.

Lets see how much time can Porto resist against Arsenal in London, i dont think they can hold so much, for me the suprise is gonna be, PSV or Atletico Madrid taking donw Inter Milan.
I am looking forward to the match between Arsenal vs Porto, I am curious about how Arsenal will turn things around or will they fail after their first leg defeat which they lost 1-0 to Porto. Their task will be more difficult as they have to equalize first before they have to turn things around. I see a high possibility that Porto will play defensively in this match, because if we see in the first match they also actually apply more and I can say it was a lucky goal achieved by Porto.

Inevitably Arsenal must exert all their abilities in this match to be able to turn things around and be able to qualify for the next round. They have to find an early goal so that they can play more comfortably afterwards. If they can do that then the pressure will turn towards Porto as there is no other option for them but to change their strategy. It is an advantage for Arsenal that they will be playing at home, it will make them more energized as they will have the full support of their fans. Arteta must prepare for this match as well as possible to ensure they can move on to the next round.
Arsenal needs to come up with a new attacking strategy that they can use to breakthrough into Porto's defense so that it wouldn't be a problem for them to score at home. Arsenal can take advantage of playing at home to win the match if they are not outperformed by Porto's strategy, so that they don't play the game the way Porto wants it. Arsenal also needs luck in that game, because Porto was lucky enough to have a dying minute goal to give them the victory.

However, Arsenal don't go far in the champions league, and I hope that they will put in all their best performance to make sure that they win Porto is Emirate, because they are in a good form, so I don't think that there should be any excuse or reason why they will not be able to win Porto. Maybe we might be underestimating Porto because we just want Arsenal to win, but the facts remains that the club with the best strategy will surely qualify to the next round.

The more interesting thing is will Bitcoin make its first new all time high before a halving. It has never happened with past three halvings.
This is something that we can tell, but just to sit down, relax and watch what will happen before the halving. If this year will be different from the other three historical price movements of bitcoin before the halving. Due to the rapid increase in price of bitcoin these few days, who knows if we will be seeing 60k price today.

We still have a month and some days to the halving, if the price of bitcoin did not make a correction, then it is possible to see a new ATH before the halving. The approval of bitcoin ETF is also playing a major role to in this year bitcoin price pump before the halving. I am not in a rush, but waiting patiently to see the highest price that bitcoin will touch before the halving, and also keeping records.

I and my friends way back have gambled in so many ways that no one will know that we are gambling only if there was disagreement that led to making of noise. I could remember we bet more on football games. This is because when I was young, I love playing football a lot, and I also have friends that loves playing football. In the evening we meet on the field and play football, which became part of our daily routine.

We will place bets on the game we are playing, and nobody will know that it is not just exercise but a bet is at stake. Another one we do is, betting with a friend or anyone that feels he is a good goalkeeper. We play five balls, and both of you will agree on how many goals to score, for you to win the bet. I and my friends have also gone somewhere to have fun, and we saw two people playing table tennis, after much observation we decided to bet on the two guys playing the game within ourselves, unknown to them. It was all fun then, sounds crazy right.
