...but it is unfortunate that men will always be giving while women receive despite her things have changed, this aspect is yet to change...
Do you not discover gender swap magic yet? Swap the gender and the role would be reversed too? But nope, even after the gender swap, you can't change the biological self, every single building block of the body is genetically encode with xx chromosome, you have to change the complete body to even make consideration!

And that swap has not been easy to do because it is not a natural process like either revolution where people get tired of a particular system and want a change, no there is no change here. The woman is the woman and the man is nothing less than the man.

Moreover, the patriarchy system is still dominate in most of the countries and that is a mechanism of tracing descent through the father who is always ascribed as the head whether ceremoniously or otherwise.

I think most very successful people do at least light exercise & eat well. To be honest I find that it’s poor or low income people who eat junk food & drink too much alcohol. The saying is true, what it the point having extreke wealth if you’re not healthy enough to enjoy it.

Rich people are well informed that is the thing. They are not only informed about how to grow their income and protect it but they are also informed about how to keep a healthy life so that they can also enjoy the wealth they have acquired.

They go as far as having personal physicians that keep them informed about what they need to do to keep fit and the kind of food that they need inside the body, so it is a simple truth that the rich are better informed on what importance is health because they want to be alive to enjoy their money.

Agree only when she can stop depending on another person for MONIES! May be? But it is too amusing I don't even know how to make them listen, they are totally unhinged!

The point is even when they depend on another person usually a man whichever way it is whether the husband, boyfriends or brothers, she is more prudent with the money by her spending on like men. After all she got the money from the man meaning the man is already spending on her while she is saving  Grin

Most times those men who give her especially the husband could come back to her to borrow same money he gifted to her in loan. That is the point but it is unfortunate that men will always be giving while women receive despite her things have changed, this aspect is yet to change.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 03:13:07 PM

Can't say if he's addicted or not but the truth is he is a gambler. There's nothing bad being a gambler but he wasn't a responsible gambler.
He should have known his limits and his responsibility. What I am curious about is that why would they spend 5 million on a wedding ?
I wonder which currency they are talking about. If it's USD then it's a pretty huge amount for a wedding.

Such amount of money for a wedding is also another point to this story.  $5,000 in a wedding is huge no matter the country's currency.

m thinking if you are planning to spend $5,000 for a wedding then the would be husband should have more than that since he is claiming to support the girlfriend with the money he will win so that the burden will not be on her.

Another point to this is that if you are saving up for a wedding, you don't need such amount of money to be saved up before you do your wedding. If you are saving up it means you don't have and people who don't have don't need such elaborate wedding, I mean the story is twisted and for the guy to use the $5,000 saved for wedding to gamble is really not giving the real light to what it is.

Again maybe this is another social media frick who is looking for followership. Like if you are saving $5,000 for wedding that is too much to be saved for wedding, like people who plan $5,000 wedding ceremony are wealthy and they don't have to save for it because the money is always there and what they would need is to fix their date  Grin

Seriously, marrying a guy like that is a recipe for disaster. Making big decisions without consulting the wife? Hey, lady, maybe you should look for a different fella, someone who's not all about the high-stakes gambling. No hate on gamblers, I mean, some of us enjoy a little risk, but this is just too much.

Well it also looks dumb to me that the guy would go gamble with wedding money. Even if he wants to take such risk, it is pardonable that he tries even 5% or 10% of it than pulling the rug.


This is definitely worth a rethink for the lady. Staying with the man will keep her more headache than joy because more egregious surprises are waiting to be unfolded.

What joy is there to stay with someone you are always going to have your heart in your head because of such things that you going to keep witnessing.

Your strategy, particularly with those pauses between bets due to the need of depositing, is a very risky martingale approach.

Taking a break to reflect on what happened is a wise move. Best of luck.

I bet op may not know what martingale is at the time he was struggling with those bets, he was not considering any strategy rather he was all focus to get back lost fund and nothing of martingale came to his mind. He was purely losing his money and regretting his initial action to play but martingale is intentionally used whether losing or gaining. It is all lucky for him that he got back his losses otherwise he would have totally had a negative experience he won't be able to forget easily.
1527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: October 26, 2023, 10:39:15 AM

As for the social isolation, I think this rarely happens to me because my wife is also a gambler so whenever I play I just do it beside her. Bonding between couples is important and it's amazing that gambling can be used for it.


Of course you wouldn't have that kind of challenge that husbands whose wife don't gamble and it is worse when the wife also don't like it too because there is difference between not gambling and don't like it and of course we can imagine what a woman can do in such aspect when she doesn't like something, she avoids it and everything that associates with it.

Your wife being a gambler herself makes things easy for you because she will also understand with you when you lose your game because probably she also would lose in the same game if she had same bet as you did. No doubt that you guys would bond very well because you guys are already same feathers and are flocking together Grin

Lastly, I deposit 1800$ to have a better bankroll again, This time I’m betting like a high roller and lucky manage to recover my losses and bag 150$ profit.

Conclusion: I will never gamble again when I’m bored or chase loss small amount. With this exhilarating experience. I think I will stop gambling for a long time and reflec on what dumb thing I do today.
[/img]



You are quite lucky to recover your losses and got some profit. This would have been a very bizarre experience for you since you don't gamble and probably you have not lost such amount in gambling.

Well you were able to take the quiting decision after you have recovered and picked $150 from it because you are not cut out for gambling otherwise you would have seen it as the opportunity you have to make some profit as you have already started getting it but who knows if you would have lost more than that $1800 afterwards.

You are lucky to have gotten your money back and your experience would confirm to you that gambling is about how much luck can favour you.

The internet don make people brush their talent up like where aboki carry original kiwi black polish take polish better leather shoe or pam. Many people eating from the internet not just bitcoin because content creation na another big area wey guys dey hammer seriously.

Invest as you can afford.
1530  Economy / Economics / Re: Small Scale Business Ideas on: October 25, 2023, 05:32:25 PM
So I spoke with a business owner in Portugal concerning this particular topic and he told me that most times you need to raise seed from your close family and friends and start the business and allow the business to gain traction before the VCs can come in and talk about it or invest in it. If this is the major way or raising capital and funding then it means that loads of business ideas didn't see the light of the day.

This post is timely as it gives those businesses the platform to share it and see if they can get associates from in here.


I agree with the person you spoke with on financing startups businesses. Most of the business start from either getting support from families who give soft loan or unrefundable loans to their family members to start up business and try and become independent from them. They sometimes give it out as loan on the face level so that there will be the zeal to grow the business but afterwards the giver may not request even the capital. It is usually gesture to support a family member and many families have supported their siblings to grow in business.

The problem with such traders is ignorance. They are ignorant of the importance of their health and the need for medical checkup. And really they are the class of people who are involved in self medication, it is when their sickness get aggravated that they visit the hospital but by then, the damage has already been done.

Health is wealth is very significant because there are people who are rich but have health challenges that they can't enjoy the money they have either they are restricted from eating a particular kind of food or they are hospitalized from time to time. It is very important that we take care of our health at least while young so that as we age, we also keep maintaining it that way.

I understand that fruits are very important to the body and organs of the body so lets try to keep a routine with fruits.
1532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambler avoiding friends after a big win. on: October 25, 2023, 03:32:31 PM
I will also support this kind of decision in avoiding friends when you make a big win in gambling, this is not because you wanted to intimidate them or got them disappointed, but you wouldn't like to engage in doing any mistake that will result in loosing the entire money back to gambling and unnecessary spendings that are mostly orchestrated through friends, when you should be sitting down in planning how you can Invest with the money.

Nothing wrong with planning to grow or invest the money you won but not to totally avoid friends who know how you guys have come along way. Although, there are people who call those who are not their friends as friends but in real sense they are just acquittance but a real friend is that person who stood by you through thick and thin, so if you have a big win such people can even guide you in ideas to manage the money into lucrative business so that you don't go back to the dusk. The little beginning is always a cherish one so no point running out of friends when we win big, you only have to know who is your friends.

I just think this is about power drunk and show of supremacy but it is taking a bad effect on the people. I have watched very gory report from the war and that is not making me happy. Civilians are the worst hit and that makes it meaningless to target on harmless people. We pray that the peace talk will soon be unheld to avert the looming WW3 because things are really getting out of hand in the fight. Israel kept bumping and declaring to wipe out everyone in Gaza. Stop the bumping and let peace return.
1534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is the cash-out feature only available in sports bets? on: October 25, 2023, 01:27:53 PM

I was just wondering about the likelihood of that happening in any circumstance with in-house games of any nature, like in-house tennis games or any other in-house games that require rounds and time allocation that could possibly free that space for such actions to take place.

Your curiosity is understandable and like you have made instance of tennis games that has rounds to wait for before a turn or since they have it organized as tournament like you also have in  soccer. Well I can't say except the tournament is played like real game and not in house casino organized games because I know casino games start almost immediately you activate your bet and no room for cash out. Regards to tennis or basketball, it has cash out depending on the gambling company if they decide to remove the option.
1535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Just like visiting a cinema on: October 25, 2023, 12:35:30 PM

I also not find it convincing too to compare gambling into watching a movie. When decided to watch you a movie, you know right at the beginning that youll gain nothing from except the experience of watching the moivie on big screen. Unlike once you place your bet, you are starting to hope taht you will win. Movies definitely have that chill social vibe where you can just kick back and enjoy without any pressure. Gambling on the other hand tends to bring that competitive edge into play. Even if we try to focus on the fun, the potential for making money is always there and its kind of hard to ignore.

But OP is right that we should enjoy playing on it and not make it as a means to make money. I totally agree with that.

The pressure is always there for gambling but there is no pressure in watching movie except you are the type that is not able to understand it is a movie and you go into anxiety especially for women and few men who feels that anxiety and this is usually with scary movie but nothing of such in gambling and if there are, it is for winning whose reason is because of the money involved and financial expectation that is involved if you win. 
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Just like visiting a cinema on: October 25, 2023, 11:05:12 AM
True that! We can't argue that gambling isn't for entertainment, but mainly for typical gamblers. There are, however, advanced gamblers who see it as an opportunity to consistently make money. Let's not dwell on that too much, as I'm sure only a few can relate.

So, yes, gambling is entertainment, and we should just enjoy it. When we go to a cinema, we spend money to get entertained, and it's the same with gambling. Because if you spend more than you can afford to lose, you're no longer getting entertainment; you've driven yourself into the dark hole of problems.

The truth is that we can't pretend that gambling involves the expectation of something greater than you have given so that the other party is in loss to prove at least a winner. Winners always have price whichever the price is whether financial benefits or other gains of advantage. So cinema is totally for fun as primary purpose and even while at the cinema you can yet gamble out side for whatever you want to prove in the movie you are watching either to show you have seen it before and can tell the story in the movie. My point therefore is that even while relaxing at the movies you can gamble on a phenomenal with some other person or even your girlfriend or wife maybe not for cash but for a particular gain or advantage which could even be at the home front if you understand what I mean  Grin

Gambling is just something more than entertainment because majority of those embarking on it does not do it for the entertainment only.
1537  Economy / Economics / Re: What does being rich mean in your perspective? on: October 25, 2023, 09:54:53 AM
It's one of question which differs from person to person. How do you define richness?

Like People buy Bitcoin, see the price increase, and feel like they are getting rich quickly..

These are all true feelings and obsessions.

This world is strange. Grin Grin

Lol... Well everything can blow up in their face just when they think the bull run will continue the next 24 hours, weeks or months but before you say jack, the next our comes the unannounced retracement until you see you have gone back to where you came in from. That was what happened last bull and might repeat again for some wanting to hodl to riches.

Anyway, rich is the known and established status not the process  ongoing waiting for bull run. However, people who can afford what they want at any point classify themselves as rich.

What altcoins can help me rich in 2024 and 2025?

Any idea?

Have you considered dogecoin? Going with the last bull run and the performance of doge coin, it could be a better fit for another try especially when it was not expected to have such an outstanding ATH of $0.73 last two years. It is currently selling at $0.06, so imagine a 100% rise and more which is not impossible and in fact it could be easily achieve at the next bull run next year. Moreover, dogecoin has the backing of the most influential social media hype from Elon musk.
