1561  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.
1563  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fake casino streamers! Why such streamers are very popular? on: October 23, 2023, 02:32:14 PM
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 .
1564  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.

1565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 23, 2023, 11:07:47 AM

The minority of gamblers totally understand and accept what gambling has to offer and how they should manage their gambling activities, those are the gamblers who don't chase their losses, they don't make more deposits once they lose their initial bankroll, they don't increase their bets to win more money, they might do it just for fun but that's different.

That is the right mindset to gambling and also the way to gamble responsibly. Those who follow such discipline way of gambling are those who profit more because they don't just bet because they want to chase what they have lost which is more of emotional betting and that is inimical.

Bet as you can afford to lose and stay away from it if you have exhausted your bankroll but many gamblers don't follow this , they look at what they are losing to chase back that money and increasing their risk which at the end they get trapped in it with regrets.
1566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: October 23, 2023, 10:16:03 AM
I doubt that you can stop gambling when you are addicted since it’s very hard to notice the symptoms due to the addictive nature of gambling. The only way for a compulsive gambler to stop is if someone help him to change or he doesn’t have any money to gamble.

I think to come out of addiction is based on certain circumstances which I agree that if someone doesn't have money to gamble again then that can force him to reduce playing and probably stop totally. But if you try to stop the person where he is still having money to play, the person will still look for ways to play because he already have passion for playing. Gambling addiction is like a passion and only very few things can stop someone out from there passion like if the person is physically not dispose to it anymore.
1567  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Flood the natural disaster on: October 23, 2023, 09:20:46 AM

Since floods have a natural tendency that makes them a yearly thing since the most are rainfalls that increase the water level, the government must take responsibility for building enough water banks that will take in all the water excess during the rainy season.

It is not as if there are no government agencies that has such responsibility to take care of flooding preventions but government is nonchalant about their agencies to be sure people assigned to manage them are true to it but firebrigade approach is used at the time of raining season and flooding but that doesn't go anywhere to prevent the harm because the preventive measures of clearence of debris in waterways before raining season is not followed .

I will still tie corruption to the reason that these agencies that sees to flooding don't do what they are suppose to do before the season, the government disburse monies required to these agencies but they usually don't get utilized just like other agencies whose assigned money end up in private account.
1568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports bets or in-house games, which is best for the weekend. on: October 23, 2023, 03:20:33 AM
Since you said that, it is weekend and you wanna be with your family, should it be a kind of lock down, where every family member will be at home to enjoy each other presence and be happy. Then casino game is what will give you that fun, and they have good odds compare to sportsbet.

Since you will be indoors, you can be gambling when they are watching TV or kinda less busy or when they are relaxing. If you are the type that is hiding your gambling activities. But if your wife knows about your gambling activities and she is cool with it, you can gamble when you guys are together and not with the kids.
I could have considered casino games fo be the best but then I have other engagement all through the weekend and that impacted on the game I end up choosing,  since we hard a lot of games lineup in the various leagues,  I got myself so much engage in football bets and watching all the games with family and not engaging in house games since I understand their risk factors and since I have some few kids around the house who I may not want them to get exposed to gambling games but football is still better.

Since even if you want to practice the game,  you will still end up having a few excesize which is good for the body as sport but other gambling games may become addictive to the kids and I don't want them to get exposed to that.

It was a better decision you made to stay with soccer especially with the various leagues that played in the weekend. Soccer is a family delight and you don't have to bother your head explaining how the game is played to any body because it is already known even by the kids on how it is played and you enjoy it more if you have someone in the home like your wife who is supporting opposite club to your club. On like casino games that you have to start explaining to them on what is happening in the game and the reason you placed a bet in certain way.

Talking about soccer, the people in the house may not even know you placed a bet on the game that you guys are watching because you already done that on the website or app while the game is going on, so I think soccer betting may be more convenient for family weekend relaxation.
1569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. on: October 22, 2023, 08:54:15 PM
In my book, that factor (doubt) has a huge impact on my betting. Doubt can mess with your game. It's always best to bet when you're confident in your picks because winning then gives you that sweet satisfaction. You can pat yourself on the back and say, 'I'm really good at this.' But when you're unsure and still win, it usually just means you got lucky.


I see the angle that you are going with doubt. It can make you will or lose like in soccer bet that you doubt your prediction and you can add another new game which may be the game that will make you lose your entire bet slip. I have experienced this in the past also that you contemplate not to add a game to your already booked games and another thought is being created in your head to make additional game so that it will also increase your potential winning especially if the odd looks good. So that additional game may be what could bring you down or help your potential winning to increase. But basically what I have learnt to is to stay away from the game that I have doubt on.

Take note that as young as a toddler or less than a year old, there's already the gadget and his/her hand.

Parents pride themselves on the manner that their toddlers are able to operate on Android phones. It is good that toddlers have opportunity to learn fast but the rate of exposure to the internet is the issue. Some parents are really carefree about how their children access the internet and when we are talking about the internet we know what it is, that all manner of pornography exist on the internet whether implied or explicit. Most companies that would run their ads online would impliedly include female who are unclad.
1571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet on: October 22, 2023, 06:09:03 PM

In this guys own case,  5 m in naira means nothing much to him and as a matter of fact, he can and will make that money through another bet,  and he should be cool with it,  it is only a problem if he has some close member of his family still living in poverty and he wastes such an amount.

This is my worry about some of these rich society people who lavish money around by showing off their present wealth status and yet they have people around them who would benefit from such wealth. Some rich guys today get poor in the future because they didn't invest or didn't channel it in the right place.


I saw the name of a betting website in the picture you provided, in this case it may be that he is promoting that betting site through his socialist power. Roll Eyes

Although it is not impossible but we are yet to see him as an ambassador for the company, so we await such news officially.
1572  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Raising children in this current society on: October 22, 2023, 04:46:37 PM
The challenges of this age is so enormous from financial aspect to the growth of internet and they all has influence on children.

A home that is not financial stable has a tendency of raising children who are going to be needy and having the need of necessities of life exposes children to the vices in society. The boys gets involved in gambling at early age, involve in taking of hard drugs which eventually lead them to gangs who are armed rubbers, kidnappers and other illicit vices including immoral acts and the ladies majorly involve in prostitution and child trafficking.

The internet has its positive and negative sides and so children who don't have good home training get involved to the negative aspect and turn out as internet scammers, hackers etc.

The parents have to focus at the early stage of the children which is the formative stage and it is very important to what a child becomes in the society. They say spare the rode and spoil the child, so the early stage is important in training a child.

A real bettor is less likely want to publishing the casino he bet because there's no point for doing that...

There is a sense in this but it is not likely to be that he had a contract of such with them because the media would have been agog with the news. He probably didn't see any reason for that or didn't occur to him to make their identify secret but whichever way he does it, he couldn't have played in any other betting company in Nigeria because that is the biggest, most popular and trusted with very big fan base. So Nigerians would have guessed rightly where he bet from. I mean, he couldn't have put only his picture without a little bit of disclosure that will make gamblers assume the company he played it from.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 22, 2023, 04:02:18 PM

There is no luck exist in the gamble. If you work porperly you experience will increase and make your winning level high. There is no luck exist in gamble. Your hard work and experience help you here luck matters but experience needed.

There is an element of luck in the gambling system despite the experience because so many gamblers are experienced and old timers in it but not all experienced gamblers are lucky and successful in winning there games because if they are then the casino companies would have packed up. Gambling involves luck and no doubt about that despite our experience and good research before embarking on betting.

A gambler who is not favoured by luck will lose more than win.
1575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your doubt has no effect on gambling. on: October 22, 2023, 02:18:45 PM

However, I will say that even your doubt can not make a game that you are supposed to win lose, because gambling doesn't work with mindset, it works with the risk and not your fear. Why the risk is because if you don't risk your money in gamble, you will not lose or even win.

This is why the rich gets richer in all they do. The rich person would take more risk 1000x because they already know what it will amount to if they eventually win as it is either you win or you lose.

Yesterday E money bet with 5million Naira about $4,000 but he lost, so imagine if he had same bet that you won with that amount he lost, you know his riches will increase, that is what taking risk can do.

On your own part, imagine if you increased your staking power to $100, it would have also changed your life. Anyway that is what doubt does. Congratulations for the little you won.
1576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your nice hit to leave the casino. on: October 22, 2023, 01:52:18 PM

Come on, guys, be honest. Haven't we all felt that itch of greed in gambling? Did you like how it turned out? I'm pretty sure the answer is no...

Sure. Many gamblers have hit there target for a daily bet or amount they are aiming for but at the same time they have lost it because they refuse to grow and that is the result of greed.  Greed is what every human being is tempted with and some escape falling from it while many have also fallen on it. If we can control our emotion then it is as if the greed doesn't exist because when it comes we can resist it. It takes a lot of effort to control greed anyway.
1577  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a formula for Bitcoin starters? on: October 21, 2023, 08:22:35 PM

As experienced investors are there measures that can be imbibed by new investors with little capital to help boast their capital. Some will want to mention patience which I will agree to but in situations where the money is needed to meet an emergency need how to you tackle such situations. Your formula might be a saving approach.

It is better you have heard patience and that is what it is with investment in btc. Don't expect you get all the money you want from bitcoin investment, it doesn't happen that way otherwise you might get disappointed and frustrated. Although the expectation is for bitcoin bull next year but nothing is automatic about the rise. So don't expect too much, work with patience while DCA if you want to hodl btc. To gain in btc you have to invest for a long time but if you cut short your investment plan because of whatever emergency then you are good as not invested.
1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigeria socialite went all in on this sport bet on: October 21, 2023, 07:42:09 PM
What's the big deal? You think because he is someone that he will influence others to bet? Isn't that what todays society is all about? There are influencers for everything. Hot tub girls, celebrities playing slots, video games, poker, and darn near everything else in the world.

Basically, if a guy has the money, no matter who they are, they should be allowed to make a bet if they want.
Gambling is for everyone both influencers and the influenced,  although the difference is in the aspect of why should a popular figure be displaying his bet slip on social media despite knowing how risky it is to stake such an amount and what his fan's reactions will be if he lost such games with an amount that can change any reasonable person life.

I know is his money anyway and he can afford multiple of that amount without stress,  but what really is his motivation behind all this,  is it the expected winning rewards,  or was he staked based on his love for the club's playing or just a way to promote the brand?

I don't know if he is an ambassador to the casino he posted but then wish him luck in the bet.

Most of these top society guys do these things to bring their social media hype on, just imagine we are discussing him here and that is how they are going to be discussed in other platforms in Nigeria and other countries and that is the purpose because they need to always stay there in the face of the public, that is how they keep getting more popular and popularity means more social circle, contacts, businesses and more wealth but if they stay out of the public they go broke.

So placing a 5m naira bet from him isn't money he would regret and I don't think he is running an advert for the betting company because it would have been in the media that he is affiliated to the company just like it is not a secret with drake and stake.
1579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 21, 2023, 06:56:33 PM

It just might not be game over just yet with Declan Rice haven’t scored a goal for Arsenal just now, with about 10minutes and plus minutes on the clock, it’s time to see just how well Chelsea could hold on.

Even if it's over for Arsenal, I think they did great job just that the defense is so porous whereby Chelsea defense is solid so whatever the outcome of this match is I think Arsenal is playing an entertaining football as though winning a match is important and giving your fan a fantastic and entertaining display of talent is also a credit, so let's see how the match finally ends.

Sure I enjoy watching arsenal play because of their compact football that also looks entertaining to fans. From the stats, they had better position of the ball especially at the second half which was why they were able to pull back two goals after being down on 2 goal at the first half. I had thought they would lose the match but they came back to pick draw after missing the full 3 points that would have seen them comfortable at the top but now they are 2nd with same 21 pts with Manchester city but goals behind. Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur Newcastle are trailing behind respectively.
1580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I think gambling is inbuilt, kids don't learn it anywhere, they do it! on: October 21, 2023, 06:22:03 PM
what the australian government has done is correct by abolishing gambling advertising to prevent minors from gambling before they grow up. abolishing gambling ads may reduce the promotion of gambling and it will reduce the number of minors to find out about gambling platforms and play on those platforms.

but abolishing gambling advertising without the role of parents will be in vain because nowadays children are very free to access devices and their environment can also have a bad impact on them. as parents, they must be able to provide good lessons to their children and continue to monitor what they access and what their playing environment is like. with actions like this it is hoped that the number of minors gambling will be reduced.

Abolishing of whatever gambling ads is not the problem and like you said there is the responsibility of the parents to guide there children properly and show them the right way to grow up until they are of the age to know and understand certain things. There is a difference when you understand what you are doing and when you are just pressured into something. Therefore, it is a very good advise for parents not to allow there children go astray because there are different social vices that can also lead children into gambling like they may be in need of money and if they have older friends who already gamble for money, they can be lured into gambling with hope to source for money.
