I am mad that I am just knowing this not too long ago.


I hope you have been able to win some jackpots from then you got to know to this time around.  Grin

So maybe he probably has such gift to do whatever calculation on the game he is gambling. Moreover, math is not new to gambling. Even in soccer, when you analyse the games, take some analysis like head to head, last five matches, away and home performance etc, I believe it is math when you come to soccer also if you do all that because you are going to be careful and taking calculation of the team performance home and away, both for the team and their opponents.
1242  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why sports betting? on: November 30, 2023, 02:25:08 PM

Moreover, I like to know if you really believe you can win in sports betting in the long run, or you just really think no chance because every game can be win by luck, sports betting is not exemption.

Winning sports betting especially soccer is not difficult  but it depends on how much that you will win. If you take a small risk then you are likely to win but a very small amount also and increasing the risk means likely to lose. That is the challenge. I'm sure many users here win in soccer bet.

So among the games used in betting, sports is the most practical. It is more friendly, you can relate with sports and understand it without a third party explanation most likely but other gambling games are rigorous to understand. It is more of practical with sports and people already take part in the games practically by playing them in the field or tracks, so it is self explanatory, explicit and not confusing.

ICO is a no. I prefer token that is straight on the market and to a reputable exchange because it shows seriousness on the part of the team. ICO coins have disappointed alot of them have been proved to be scam. Also limited total supply is another valid criteria. You have tokens that have limited number doing well although it doesn't really matter much if the project has utility value.

Guy 2: Wow! Your friend must have been lucky in gambling.

Guy 1: No! He used to drive a car but because of gambling, he sold it, and now he just bought a new bike to get to work.


I guess this would have allayed the nostalgia in the sentiment in Guy 2. He (Guy 2) might have been feeling why is his own gambling situation and luck unfavorable to him.

Well the story got me laughing too. It just the reality of gambling. Many gamblers are also having this losses and gradually they are going down but obstinately don't want to quit. Gambling is not what you will do all the time, you can gamble if you see the probability to win especially in soccer but if you don't win then you wait for another time. Going from car to bike because of gambling losses shows the gambler is not making profit.
1245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Request to learn gambling on: November 30, 2023, 11:15:25 AM

Her motive for making this kind of request is because she wants a second source that she can use to earn extra income. I explained what gambling truly is, and I discouraged her from learning how to gamble.


If truly she has a source of income, advise her to stick to it or look for another source of income that is not gambling because there is no guarantee with gambling to consistent profit as we all know.

I'm thinking probably you are telling her the potential of gambling in profit or you are profiting in gambling yourself. So maybe she is seeing something in you in terms of your finance and your standard of living which you have told her is from gambling and so she wants to start gambling too.

Some people know how to hype themselves to a level that others want to follow and they can redirect your focus to other aspects as the source of income whereas it is another source of income. So maybe you have made her believe you are profiting in gambling, so teach her how you have been profiting in your gambling  Grin

I agree with you, We all want to try and earn extra income so maybe Op's friend has an interest because she knows that it is possible to earn money on that and she saw it or learned it from OP that gambling is one of the things that help him to have extra income. If Op's friend really wants to earn money, much better if she will focus on finding other ways to earn money like business and freelancing rather than doing gambling.

People tend to learn certain things with someone if they have seen the person doing well in it or pretend to be doing well with it. Nobody wants to involve themselves in what they already know won't be profiting them so she wants to try with op either from how she is seeing his appearance, you know ladies like guys looking good  Grin

So I don't believe she just woke up on a day and decide to want to learn gambling but whichever way it turns out for her, op should guide her not to take risk she can't afford to lose.

Believe failures are just temporary setbacks

This is true for growth mindset because you already seeing the picture of what you want in your face and anything that tries to reposition your mind by causing a break will be seen as temporary and you intensify effort to cross the rope. Usually the growth mindset always know that they would meet stumbling block on the way which will not be permanent because the believe of it will soon be over will always be there echoing.

1248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: November 29, 2023, 06:28:16 PM
The link is actually talking about gambling regulation but I don't know if it is workable that casinos will refuse an addict to gamble in there platform or would have a limit to how much times to wager, lose or win because seriously they are out for business and would maximize their profit potential.

It is left for the individual to know how to control his emotions not to over wager his budget and to give up on a bad gambling day.
Well, some casinos have a feature in a place where the victim who is the addict can go and have himself excluded from the casino this way the account is locked and even though this may not be a 100% means of getting off gambling,  it still remains very predictable to say that many of such gambling addicts still fall back to the addictions if they have not properly made up their mind to stay off addictions in the first place.

So for sure many casinos may want to help the player to stay off addictions but then at some point, those addicts are the ones at the centre of everything since self-discipline is the sure root to stay above addictions of any form,  we can't blame casino entirely because there are operated for profits making and nothing more.

Even at that, if there is a section in some casino where a gambler can lock himself up from continuous playing, we know it is not easy for an addict to willfully do that to exclude himself. He feels there is chances he would win if he continues to wager and he keeps getting more addicted. Well I think the best is for automatic control of such from the casino base on some criteria like how much lost etc but like I said earlier, I doubt that would have yet except the regulatory agencies enforce that on them.

1250  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: November 29, 2023, 04:16:07 PM
Although it is economical to use 1% of your income to gamble, it shows you are prudent in your finance but I wonder how much percentage you will win since the bankroll may be small depending on your salary. However, if the winning is steady, it increase your bankroll to go a little higher. But to gamble with family money has to be in agreement with members of the family so that when you lose out the 1% from the salary, you won't have any explanation to do to your wife since she is already aware you are risking 1% out for gambling.

U know say if things dy ok for this country, de rate ok wakawaka for ladies go reduce, if you observe wela, Any lady we get her own money no dy misbehave anyhow, na all dos girl wey dey carry hungry waka, nai dy collect anyhow from guys


Na true you talk. Majority of the ladies wey dey independent that comport demselve well, you no go see them dey mess around, only few wey the thing dey their body. So there is a relationship here between not being able to take care of yourself and being able to take care of yourself. This na reason wey make e dey important to go school or learn work so that the ladies go fit dey support demselve and not to always depend on men. But really many ladies dey do this wella, regarding men as mugu.
1252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: November 29, 2023, 07:42:40 AM
If you feel like you cannot control your finances or your gambling activities, better lay it off and find some other hobbies in the mean time. This will ensure that your attention will not be pulled by gambling and you will be saving yourself a lot of headaches in the future. It's easy to avoid gambling if you aren't too deep in the shit hole, but once you already started it, there's no turning back and you will really have to exert a lot of effort to combat yourself with this kind of activity.

It's an expensive lesson, but a lesson nonetheless that taught you how to not play with fire if you're afraid to get burned.

Doing away with gambling is not just what we can say merely by the mouth, we must take action towards it. Like if we have taken such decision maybe because of our too many losses, the best thing is to stay away completely from it, if you are playing offline line then don't visit the game house again and avoiding hanging out with those addict gamblers. And if you are playing online then delete the app totally and uninstall it. It is funny some gamblers say they want to stop but they can't delete the gambling app. You have to delete it because if you leave it there you will still want to visit it. Like like you forbid a certain meat yet you use your teeth to cut it or share it for some people  Grin

1253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: November 28, 2023, 09:11:32 PM

I started the game with just $20 but gradually I got addicted to it and wanted to gamble and win bigger amounts by depositing bigger amounts. I lost $1700 playing this way then I decided to play with a much bigger amount and recover all the losses then quit gambling for this I borrowed 270000 BDT ($2180) from the bank and deposited there. But unfortunately I lost them.

It is not new because this is always the case when gamblers start to lose their money, they want to chase to recover but usually unlucky to recover. You are not the only one in such uncontrollable situation and two years is a very long time for you to get back to your finance but I wonder the bank that gave you such loan if you gave some collateral before having access to the loan.

This is unfortunate and it is not going end with you because more gamblers can't control themselves when they are losing. At such times all that comes to your mind is how to play and win back your money and it is sad the kind of story you have told.
1254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling are mainly for rich and lucky mind. on: November 28, 2023, 07:06:10 PM

so if it is not favourable to you does not mean is not favourable to some lucky persons

Well I got this from your post that looks a little disjointed and confusing. I think you are buttressing the need for being a lucky person and that those who are lucky in life have higher chances of succeeding while gambling but I don't think so. Even though you mentioned strategy and analysis which are equally important to how far a lucky person will go in gambling.

If someone is being lucky from time to time in life, he may not be lucky all the time too and that time that he might be unlucky might be a worst hit against him because he might rely on being lucky to stake far above what he can risk, either taking a loan or selling a property but at the end get disappointed. So proper planning is good in gambling and to take proportional risk is a wise decision to gradually accumulate.
1255  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can old generation cause the habit of gambling in young generation ? on: November 28, 2023, 05:53:25 PM

So, if children see someone becoming rich all of a sudden and if they ask how it happened and they are told that the person won a huge amount from gambling or a lottery, they will start having that image in their mind thinking that one can become rich through gambling or lotteries and they might become curious to try it whenever they can.

Children really get influenced easily when they see someone who is rich, you are right. Even adults tend to gamble because they want quick money which is a negative notion which makes people to bet above their budget and lack proper management of their bankroll.

Regards to children, that youthful pulse is always there to over step bans. Seeing some who is rich and being exposed to gambling maybe from the father, they will want to try too. It is worse with children who are already use to soccer and are fans of a certain club especially clubs in EPL. This is why we see so much underage having access to gambling. Parents have to do certain things discretly and not unnecessary expose their children into things that they are not ready for yet.

It is a good opportunity to buy what you actually need at the black Friday sales because you might have prepared for it and now you are going to get some freebies and bonuses for what you want.

If you are going for what you don't want on a bonus sales it means you can at least take care of it despite the economic downturn but it won't be a wise decision to buy things you don't need because of bonus whilst you don't have extra money to take care of yourself, your immediate need and want. I don't think I will do that and I won't use bitcoin at this time when I'm suppose to be accumulating  Grin
1257  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do you feel the change of leaders will make Nigeria better? on: November 28, 2023, 04:03:20 PM


You talk well bro but I wan clear you say human being dey unpredictable because that pesin wey you think say go do better if him enter power him go surprise you tomorrow with plenty plenty nonsense wey you least expect, we get plenty beast in human form wey dey look for opportunity to wicked people and my people talk say if you wan see pesin character finish say make you put them for power.
However, waiting we dey face for this country too much only one pesin no fit deliver us and e go take I.e if only the country go fit dey produce leader wey wan give the country 60% of waiting them need at least in 4 tenure at a stretch. If this thing go fit dey possible then we go return to our normal Nigeria.
Thank you for the article


If dem agree to repair the constitution wey dem dey call amendment, leaders no get choice dan to do the right thing but if the constitution still dey as e dey, omo no way.

Na the constitution say dem go use electronic for election, na same constitution say INEC fit still use manual. That one no be double standard? Dat one no give room for rigging with INEC as we see for this year presidential election wey dem no upload results electronically and court interpret dat side of the constitution. All that na rigging wey constitution itself allow it just takes a political party to work with the umpire and the rest na story as we see for this election.

I believe self say if the constitution reduce the appointment powers of the president and governors, the craze for aspiring for those positions will reduce and those with mind to work for the people will aspire.

Omo make we leave religion matter. I remember Karl Marx say religion na the opium of the masses. Pastors dey comot members mind from reality.

No be pastor make members fast to death say dem go see God.

Some pastors self in the name of anointing and miracle go dey baff the female members of the church make dem for dey see their nakedness. Things dey happen for the religious settings.

Politicians go thief finish and go religious houses dem go dey praise dem. Make we just dey use our head and follow our heart because religion folllow keep this country like this because if to say the religious leaders both Christians and Muslims dey advise deir members and expose dem for their embezzlement den tins for no be like this, those politicians na members of one political party or the other.

Next year will be a good year for me because, I really embraced many opportunities that helped me to buy BTC whenever the price decrease in the market but I know good opportunity will come that will make the price hit above $50k for long hodlers to smile again next year.


Na true say next year na another halving year and according to how the bitcoin history don be, after halving bull run go start depending on the months or immediately and that one mean say the price go begin dey fly higher. So why you wey don already buy early with cheap price go dey target or talk about 50k. 50k no even reach the last ATH price self wey be 69k and bitcoin price for the new bull run dey pass previous ATH. At least target 100k to 120k for next year ATH.

Dispose of friends with bad character because one day dem go also do am to you. As dem dey show other people attitude for your front na so dem go still do same to you when e reach deir throat.

Some people sabi say dem get bad friends but becos of wetin dem dey benefit dem go still dey hang around. Things like protection and security. You go know say your friend dey carry gun comot for night while you no dey do so but you go still dey hang on with the person forgetting say d day wey hang go hold am, you too go enter. So be wise and careful in all your dealings.
