1541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 24, 2023, 06:00:56 PM

When people invest their life saving in the gambling then of course they will have serious health issues if they lose their life savings in front of their eyes. For those who can't bear this loss, they better stay away from gambling and do something else like investment in startup a business or anything which is less riskier then gambling.

Well people see gambling as a way for quick money and few people could have the patience of growing startup because that is not easy to do but with gambling it is envisage to be fast money spiner but unfortunately it doesn't turn out that way.

With startup, you have so much expenses to take care of before expecting returns like payment of rent, highering of staff or labour and payment for their bills and many other miscellaneous, yet you still need like 3/6 months before expecting profit if it will come.

Those who are gambling focus more on winning and not loses especially new gamblers like the lady in question. She might gambled with money that was meant for something extremely important which could be the reason that she is crying.

there are several times we loose without winning, now the target should be in setting a limit for both win or loose before one can withdraw for home in using a gambling casino, this is funny but the truth of the matter.

This is a good advise but for me I wouldn't set a limit for my winning if at all I observe that I was going to win in a bet because you have to take such chance too. I'm not saying you have to bet what you can't afford but a lucky day should be utilized. There are days that lucky days for a gambler so no need to take escape root but to stick for it until if you observe the losses are coming.

Sometimes at the offline game house you see you are winning any game that you play especially the visual soccer, then you have to take the opportunity and not to panic out because at the days of loses, you won't win a $ but may lose x100 of a $.

Truth be told, criminals are the ones leading this country in disguise as noble men, they are in that position for themselves and their families, it's so sad.

For whatever reason that is happening nobody knows. Nigeria is blessed in natural resources and human resources/capacity but with bad and wicked people finding their way to government.

A Nigerian outside Nigeria performs better than when in the soil of Nigeria because their is high level of nepotism that doesn't allow people to grow, no infrastructure to help support investment and small businesses are folding because it can't just survive in the hard economy. The people are suffering serious hardship because of inflation and nothing is done about it, no organized system but corrupt legislatures, judiciary and executives that are only after their pockets. If you are not in government then you are just made miserable, so unfortunate.

I think that this could be a cool way to battle gambling addiction, if someone start writing the entire money they use on gambling down somewhere they can wake the hell up and decide to call it a quit, it's definitely going to look stupid for playing all along, the only difference for me is I use very small amount.



Yes writing the record of your deposit and withdrawal is a good way to take a check on yourself to keep playing or not but I don't think it is for the addicts. An addict won't have that mindset to go that way because he is still engrossed to keep trying to win but anything that leads him to start going for records on his activities on gambling then that means he is near to quitting the addiction because he probably would see his losses and that may discourage him from playing persistently or quitting eventually.
1545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 24, 2023, 03:09:55 PM

Some people think they are smart they can beat the casino, but even those who are very smart and experienced have found it's not possible.
If you want to make money, it's better to run your own casino or work at a casino.


Having your own casino is more profitable than to work in the casino. A casino attendant is just a worker who gets paid at the end of work schedule, so it is just a salary or commission earner.

Yes the smartest of all have finally realized that it is an area of life that is majorly gambled on. New players when they come in believe old players have not done enough which is why they have not won but they at the end they confirm to themselves that the house edge has more chances of taking away all you stake. So it is always good when you play as you can and don't expect jackpot when it is not coming and by that you can easily work away than being persistent.

So Famz, is there any benefits when one keeps record on their losses and wins? Is there any thing to gain when you write down all the money you spent in gambling and also how much you have made so far?

Not keeping records, does this make me a bad gambler?

Account keeping is good because of it benefit which is to let you know how much you are spending and how much you are also receiving like income and expenditure.

Regards to gambling, it is also a good practice but it is difficult to keep for someone who bet always, not just a daily bettor but someone who bet numerous times in a day like an addict. If you are someone who bet from time to time then you may want to keep the record to see how much you have spent and whether you actually made profit to continue or not. At a point when I was betting on a daily, I tried keeping such records but it is not easy to do.

1550  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Supreme Court Justices a Shame or Praise on: October 24, 2023, 07:49:28 AM
This line up get as e be oo. From the names na so so Muslim e be like say na im make up the list. I know say if na where country no dey divided along ethnic and religious line, e for no matter but we know say na so this country don be and that is unfortunate.

The judgement of the tribunal really turn the constitution and electoral act up side down. Like if tribunal say INEC no dey mandated to use bvas carry transmit result to irav, so why doll out money for the purpose in the first place.

Well there are so many places wey we expect say supreme court suppose touch hand but if dem turn their eyes away, well as the country go be na everybody go still answer Nigerian las las.
Baba I no get issue of them be Muslim or christians o, all I want nah say when them dey discharge their duties, it should be without bias and sentiment because nah wetin justice suppose be. We know need angel to come perform miracle of eyesight for us because we know for certain say the whole process of the election, mago mago full am and the fact say we still need court to settle the matter go to show say them dey call us blind and stupid.
Our incumbent president know say if we follow how the whole thing go, e no stand any chance but corruption no go let us do the right thing.
 Why Peter Obi need to carry the mata go court when e know say Tinubu get them in the palm of him hand nah still wetin I never understand. If I were to suggest, nah for him to die the mata and live with the fact say Tinubu don enter and him go rule for 8yrs.

If you say dem being Muslim no be issue that one mean say you no dey see as things dey go for the country. So you never know say the country dey divided along religious line especially when it comes to who go rule the country.

Supreme court wey you dey want make Dem do justice na how you think say e go possible?

The country constitution no dey organized, e leave many lacuna for lawyers and judges to feast upon. Left dey the constitution, right dey the constitution, so na who judge want make him dey dere him go judge for. Abi why the electoral act give INEC the choice for manual when bvas and irav dey. Why the electoral act no remove anything about manual and allow for only electronic and to reconduct election where electronic no work like that of presidential voting wey INEC use manual.

Na the constitution go organise the country and no justice for the country.
1551  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: October 23, 2023, 10:56:45 PM

You understand what I mean when I say that occasionally I even see recent high school graduates with more employment than college graduates. Others who are having trouble finding work are just starting tiny businesses like direct sales.


To start early is an advantage in business because it only drives you to be creative and move into more business areas. For example we can't compare a young lad who just finished from high school and runs a business venture to someone who is still in college and trying to put his feet on the ground. The young lad of course will have better access to loan facilities because he already established himself and having his business as collateral. Loan is important in business because you need capital to keep increasing and usually businesses that are already established has a better chance for such loan.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 23, 2023, 08:01:02 PM
From my point of view, gambling is not hereditary. Even if I were a gambler, that doesn't mean my children will become one. Gambling depends on where you live, what culture you are from, what kind of society it is, and how much exposure gambling gets. If there is no way to support, promote, or operate gambling activity, there is no way one would become a gambler. When I live in it, it's pretty exposed. So it is common for teenagers to get involved in gambling. So it's obvious the government won't be able to reduce gambling even if they want. The main fault is the environment that encourages gambling not hereditary.

There is environmental influence to what people do because they are exposed to it as it is practically available in such environment. Just as you said, government can't do anything about that but only the parents can by leaving the area to another environment that they desire.

Gambling is always what is practice around neighborhood that are not so much of rich background. Although rich people play gambling but they are mostly adults maybe because they new about it from the young age while they lived in not so rich level. But as to young people, they are mostly from the neighborhood that are middle class range.
1553  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 23, 2023, 06:24:21 PM
No one can be always lucky, we all know that. But what some people don't know is that as we can be lucky for a long period of time, the opposite is true as well. Regardless of how many times we failed in the past, we can fail even more times in the future. If we don't have sufficient money, we shouldn't chase big wins because they haven't happened for a long time before.

These are moments with successful series, also connected with psychology. As an example, when someone plays for even or odd, some people will always choose an odd number to bet if there was an even number before, while other players who use this strategy will always choose the same number as in the previous draw. This choice may indicate that some players believe that their successful streak will last, while others are waiting for their losing streak to end.

And both of them are wrong. Success is not lasting or ending because of what happened before. In gambling the future doesn't depend on the past. It's hard to grasp for an average human being because in real life the future does depend on the past. And people expect it from gambling too and keep wondering, why it's not working. It's not working because it shouldn't work, in the first place. In gambling  events are totally independent from each other.

People have different strategy that they use for their success and that is different for another person. Like talking about soccer betting, some people stay with odds that are even in number before they stake on it, they believe whatever is even is positive and whatever is negative is odd or bad so that is what strategy that they adopt and it works for them more times that they have won which is why they stick to it.

Therefore what works for Mr A may not work for Mr B as far as gambling is concern, everyone has to play with what luck they can get for their bets.
1554  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The rate of divorce in the society on: October 23, 2023, 06:03:38 PM
I think I can attribute it to so many factors and it depends on different causes for different continent. In Africa, we can say the falling or disintegration of family system is one of the reasons, hardship and unemployment as another factor, the drive for greener pastures and brain drain where one party consent to contract marriage and afterwards it goes into divorce.

Modernity has dealt a great blow on the marriage institution where sex is most dignified and sacred but now, you can get sex just anywhere. Women now see themselves as object of beauty and are easily triggered to anger and hungry for divorce and nothing holds her back unlike in the past where the family is an integral part of marriage. In fact, some women prefer to stay as single mother than living with a man as husband and once they have had a baby, they are good for divorce.

The reasons for divorce is enormous and with difference based on jurisdiction.

1555  Economy / Speculation / Re: "Mr. Bitcoin is about to go down big." - Jim Cramer on: October 23, 2023, 05:05:14 PM

Just two days later bitcoin did the opposite and pumped like crazy.

This goes to show that bitcoin is free from such straight face prediction and not just obeying to every call out there. Bitcoin community doesn't follow those speculation and probably that was meant to pull price down for scooping of the coin at cheap price but unfortunately that didn't happen and ever since then the price have been increasing. The expectation for me is for bitcoin to position itself to break $31,000 and then the bull hits the market next year.

That customer knows he is paying you with shit coin but you don't know because you don't have such knowledge. How will someone pay you in that when btc, usdt are most popular in crypto sells and buy transaction. Stay away from such person they are probably going to cheat you off your money, be wise and use tradable coins.

You can use top coins found in CMC or stay with just btc, usdt, eth or BNB.

1557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you leave gambling if your future wife/husband tells you to do this ? on: October 23, 2023, 03:55:37 PM
Gambling I understand is a very important engagement of people and that I don't have any issues with but comparing gambling to the demands of one's spouse I think is somehow insensitive.
Different people were raised from different families and there are families whereby kids are raised to eschew gambling and everything that has to do gambling because they believe that gambling is vice that has rendered many useless and stopped them from achieving their life potentials. You don't expect anyone who's raised in such kind of home to accept gambling as their spouse's primary or secondary life engagement. So it's either you accept not to continue with gambling or never even try to get married to such people.

This is true is more like a lady who was trained by a father who smokes or drinks and she never had a relationship in that direction, so if she involves herself with a man who does that in marriage then it is a problem because people can pretend on that but at the end they start showing their real character.

This is how marriage and gambling is. I know of a guy who gamble but the wife never knew before she married him so that guy do gambling in secret and hid it from the wife because if she catches him on it, that will amount to big problem in the home.

Money printing will increase inflation and you see investors bidding for btc more and you know what will happen? the price of bitcoin will soar and if the printing takes place during the halving then expect a super bull run and nothing more because that will further increase the demand for bitcoin, we are going to have higher pumps. Moreover the trouble of wars around the globe is already increasing anxiety in global economy.

Streamers are just like motivational speakers and writers who are only good telling you what is the things to do to get a result and make all the challenges to the result look easy to go over. They are like the economist postulating all the theories but in practical they don't add up to the realities.

Streamers are mostly interested on how much they can burst your head and make you dream big for a jackpot while they are growing their followership. I don't give my time to such even if I watch them I don't follow anything I watch there .
1560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting on side bet worth it? on: October 23, 2023, 01:27:06 PM
Well I think op should not conclude that side bet has more potential for winning both for in house game or soccer bets, I believe they are all coincidence or circumstantial. Side betting is also luck so if I win betting from that I just know it happened that way probably because it was my luck that shifted to that and not that the standard game is any less, in fact side bet in blackjack from my research has more failure rate than standard game.

Quote
As a general guideline, side bets in blackjack have high house edges and should be avoided. But if you insist on trying your luck, at least stick to the side bets that have the lowest house edge.
