1601  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: June 17, 2023, 01:41:31 PM
My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
I won't regard this as gambling because no money is staked. There is completely nothing to lose if the prediction goes wrong so I will just call it a luck trial. Gambling to me involves staking something with the hope that our predictions will give us access to more funds. But as long as nothing is staked and there is nothing to lose and little or no emotion will get involved it is just a way to try out how lucky you can be.

Yes, that's true, there should be what will stand as stake even if it's not a monetary value, this can comes in a form of an item or any valuable to be used as stake, but i will advise not to always result in using other alternative options as stake whenever you're not having money to gamble, many had turn to having less or nothing at the cause of doing this and we should not be too addicted to gambling in such manners.
1602  Economy / Gambling / Re: We NEED Bitcointalk Members Feedback on Casino Challenges! on: June 17, 2023, 01:21:49 PM
As for me - i don`t like challenges, gambling is enough for me. But i have to mark that lots of people are fond of getting achieves and it would be interesting for them to get some of it. And of course it would be a competition who can get more or faster achieves. It surely will attract gamblers.

There are some challenge promotiorns that doesn't require competinto each other. Dulebits challenge as example requires you to wager on certain games with certain amount just to earn the daily reward. Other casino also offer different challenges for a user to earn a reward that doesn't required competition.

Tournament is the term which the casino used for their competition with players.

We cannot have a gamblers experience without having some challenges attached to those experience, each gambling platforms has their own unique way of getting gamblers satisfied through their services, yet this cannot be achieved at all levels because gamblers also have their own way of contributing to this challenges they face because they oftentimes launch abuse on most of the gambling platforms they use.
1603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: June 17, 2023, 12:43:00 PM
Gambling is entertainment, we admit it. So if we are not professional gamblers, we better not try it because it requires a lot of things that can be difficult for us to learn. So it's better for us to think of gambling as entertainment where we can play gambling and stop when we feel enough. If you want to become a professional gambler, you have to learn a lot of that stuff and I think you already know it.


There's no how we can be professional enough to avoid the risk in gambling, even the experienced ones failed in achieving their gambling target not much of we that want to rely on gambling for a living and source our income from it, we cannot meet up with other responsibilities.

Your second opinion that there is no sure way to win in gambling or a 100% profit strategy is true because gambling is a matter of luck. If it's sports betting, maybe the strategy can work but won't win 100% of the time. So it's better not to think too much about getting a win from gambling.

Irrespective of the strategy adopted or used, a gambler is bound to either win or loose, that has always been constant and there's no perfect winings strategy elsewhere, we all take the risk to perfect our strategy used ir the luck also work for us in that same direction.

And the third opinion is that no one forces us to gamble. Only we want to try gambling because we are curious to know what it feels like to gamble and feel the sensation of winning and losing. So we choose whether we want to gamble or not and must know that the consequence of gambling is losing money.

This is the most interesting aspect that talks more of gambling being a choice, winning or loosing bet when we also gamble is by luck and chance, there's nothing constant in them both, we only try out all strategies to increase the fun we have through our mental display and tactics used.

There are no guarantees that any documents and data you send online will ever be deleted even if the company you’re sending your data to claims to do so

We also have to be very more careful on the kind of documents we uploaded to these online gambling website, we should not always allow ourselves to get too open to the world, they may through our openess attack us in areas we least expect from them, privacy is very important.

It’s unlikely that on big and reputable websites you’ll have problems with your data and documents.
It could always happen but we don’t hear a lot about it

When this evil happens, the unexpected that comes from it is that we may not be able to trace or locate where this is coming from, they will also disguise and act being innocent except in some conditions they have to show up especially during cases where you are their main target because they are having issues with you.
1605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there play and pay later casinos? on: June 17, 2023, 11:41:06 AM
No casino would survive with that kind of system. While they may attract a lot of borrowers, the question remains: can they ensure that they will receive the payment? We are discussing online casinos, where most of us gamble anonymously, so the risk for the operator is very high.

They cannot even accept giving such offer just to make sure that they satisfy their gamblers, that's but satisfaction but stupidity, because at the end you will not achieve satisfying the gamblers than disappointing yourself, if you're to start a new casino business, you will hardly see someone to lend you money to start an establishement and if you do, then you must have staked down your assets as qualateral instead, so why should you be a loan vendor to gambler who don't have money to gamble.

I am aware that some land-based casinos have lenders, but they would not easily lend money without collateral. This collateral serves as assurance since its value is higher than the loan, and the interest rates are typically high. These lenders are often referred to as loan sharks.

There are loan sharks and those people don't take it easy with them, they will take down their entire assets used as qualateral if they fail or to make repayment, even to this days, only few land base physical casinos engage doing his kind of offer by giving loan for gambling.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Intriguing article: How to Perfect Your Gambling Strategy on: June 17, 2023, 11:20:26 AM
While these strategies can help manage your betting habits and control your losses, they can't guarantee consistent wins. Remember, casinos and gambling games are fundamentally designed with odds against you. All casinos have house edge which in the long run helps the casino to win and make profit. The strategies that you listed here, will help you control your losses, and your betting habit, it won't let you win "more. The only way to "win" in gambling, is to leave it to luck and not gambling what you can't afford to lose.

You're right, no amount of adopted gambling strategies can evade loss over time, it can only reduce the rate to which such may frequently occur, which means that the strategies we uses aren't the guarantee ways of going against loosing while gambling, but can only reduce the level and frequency to how often we loose, in the way way it does not always gives a winning assurance as well when gambling.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: June 17, 2023, 11:02:13 AM
Op from your topic
Quote
who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections?
, do you have free flight and provision of international passport with free ticket, if yes we are here to witness the election and come back to Nigeria.
Trump might win this election if he is still coming as rumour carried. Joe Biden is not strong enough to pilot the country affairs. He even fell down last week when he was in the gathering with other dignitaries. And the security men raised him up. US needs a very vibrate president in the country to do well for the citizens and the world at large. My speculation goes to Trump.

Should we make the comparison between the Trump administration with the Biden current tenure and his own administration, there will be a lot to discuss about because there are enough vast major difference in them both, what i will only advise is for Biden not to let the same mistake Trump did that made him victorious over Trump repeated itself on him to allow Trump win over him, there may be consideration on other candidates as well if the two of them aren't going to be the perfect representative to fit in the race and position of the United States president.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll) on: June 17, 2023, 10:41:42 AM

-snip-

Not something big but quite satisfying for me to see the buffalo in full screen, before I saw some user here get big win in this game so I try my luck too
Honestly I am motivated from some of those wins but you don't have to try it unless you know the consequences, if you are still curious, you should wait for your monthly bonus it will be better than using personal money. I myself use funds from the signature campaign Wink
At least you've tried to see how good your luck is. Even though the results you get are not as big as other people's, I think it has exceeded your expectations and maybe you can be luckier to get a big win next time. But don't ever get motivated because you see big wins from other people because that can have the effect of wanting to continue playing gambling until you can get a big win. It's better to stay within the limits you have so you can save the money for another day.

He may give his own trial on gambling maybe he could also have something closer to what he sees from other's experience or more higher than theirs and sometimes also it may be very far from it, i see learning from others experience as being important and a crucial step to help motivate rather than getting them discouraged, though as you've advised, he may not have thesame opportunity or result as those he's learning from, as long as he has that understanding, he will always strive for his own time and opportunity to come in gambling.
1609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: June 17, 2023, 10:22:17 AM
The convenience it provides is exactly why online gambling industry has grown so rapidly over the last few years triggered by covid-19 and the pandemic it caused. People switched from land-based casinos to online casinos because they were not allowed to gamble at land-based casinos since it is a public place and they were all closed down during the pandemic. People obviously found online gambling to be way more convenient than land-based casinos.

There's no doubt about that, there's much of being convenient in gambling because of the way you could easily make use of your mobile device to gamble knowing that you will always have your phone in your hands, this means that there's a high percentage of the phone users always been a gambler since they can easily go through their mobile device without having any barrier to stop them from gambling.

And on top of that, cryptocurrency gambling platforms have served like an icing on the cake by providing even more convenient options for deposits and withdrawals by reducing the time, speed, and cost of transactions for the gamblers who used to use traditional online casinos using fiat.

Since the introduction of cryptocurrency to gambling, many of the online casinos have also switched to the adoption of crypto for their casino and most of them generate user a custodial wallet to have their deposit fund on it for gambling anytime they wanted to.
1610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can One's Religion Compel A Compulsive Gambler To Quit Gambling on: June 17, 2023, 10:00:15 AM
This really depends on the person, but mostly if the person's reason for converting to another religion is very personal and for his belief, for sure he can quit gambling on it as it has a spiritual effect on him as well as his belief, but again, there are still others who will play secretly. I do have a lot of friends who believe gambling, drinking alcoholic drinks, and eating pig is a sin for them, but they still do it anyway, but secretly. I also have friends who really don't do it at all. But the chances really are high for those who quit gambling due to a belief or other reason.

Any gambler willing to turn on and change because of his new religion has to do that because he's willing to change and not because he's being compelled to change as a condition attached to his new religion, if he's truly determined to take this new lifestyle he has to adapt to change, this first comes with leaving down some personal immoralities he does such as smoking and drinking, avoid gambling and keep distance from anything that could facilitate gambling, remain committed to what he's doing and be truthful in all ways.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How the casino takes money from you with a deposit bonus on: June 17, 2023, 09:44:30 AM
We don't five attention much to the request on deposit bonus because there are conditions attached to it that we are maybe unaware of because we didn't have enough time to make such discovery through their conditions attached as well stated from their policy and terms, they are using that as a trick but rather a good means of attracting gamblers into gambling because no establishement will want to give out without first receiving something or having that opportunity to retain those whom it has given to.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: June 17, 2023, 09:17:42 AM
It can be frustrating when luck doesn't seem to be on our side, but remember, it's all part of the unpredictable nature of slot machines.

When playing slot, you have to embrace the results it may comes out with since it's more of being lucky on soot unlike those who believed they manipulates results, but yet despite that, some still have the opportunity to win whenever they gambles on slot, this is a strict indication that we have to understand the way some games in gambling operates in other for us to have the best experience in playing them.

It's you people that are causing unnecessary fear of missing out everywhere because of the Binance issue, the bitcoi network is no concerned about any exchanges because they are not the same, exchange are just like institutional commercial banks while bitcoin is a digital currency which you can choose where to store your bitcoin in a decentralized way and not with the centralized exchanges, Binance will faces it dealings with the government and only the Binance US could be affected in US at the end and not the Binance global.

1615  Other / Off-topic / Re: When will you be comfortable to start a home. on: June 16, 2023, 03:11:57 PM
For the people with life partners already, at what stage economically where you before you decided to settle down with a partner? Did you already have a stable source of income or your source of income was not very stable.

I want to believe you don't have to wait till you attain some certain positions in life before you decided to marry, one thing to first consider is your own personal self, if you think you're good enough to be responsible for another person, then you can marry, you must have this conviction in you for readiness because it's not for boys but a means roles and comittment for getting married.

For single people, when will you get married? Can you get married with an unstable source of income or you will wait till when you are very financially stable. Please share your personal answers.

singles should learn trades and be skillful, such could open them to getting exposure to diverse opportunities in life, many have started and ended well because they were both determined, everything starts with a relationship and you need to learn how to leave among people and tolerate each other, then you can cope with your partner even whe there's nothing much to fall back on.
1616  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Equal society is possible.... on: June 16, 2023, 02:21:57 PM
The theories of Karl Marx has made us to understand that an equal society is possible if the society work in unity. Search has shown that 80% of relationship between societies is strictly bias and profit minded which make it difficult for equal society to exist. The rich hate the poor to reach the class and the poor hate the rich for always staying at the top. A quote says: the rich cannot sleep because the poor are awakes and the poor can not sleep because they're hungry. This are part societies from the pictures of seeing people equal or leadership doubtlessly working towards equal societies. Is any society that practice equality laws and equity for oneness in all shared resource?

Everything is possible to achieve when we live in peace with our fellow brothers in the society, we have to make it a responsibility and point of duty to ensure that this ia what we all set as a common goal, living in peace and harmony will facilitate the quick growth and development of the people living together in the society and everyone will share a common sense of responsibility for each other in that same experience.

Still Holding mate ? so what are your reaction seeing the last month activities and performance of Shiba Inu?

https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/shiba-inu/

its been dropping badly since the beginning of May and now that we are in the middle of June still the price is not consistent?
are you still holding or have you already divert or sold your coins to other crypto?

Let's see how it all goes further in this season as we are getting closer to bitcoin halving against next year, we should be more anticipated to hodl more than we've been in time past because the only target we have is on the bull market and definitely all the coins will make a good performance then, that's why we may not encourage nothing than to hodl or still buy more because we are still in the bear season and this drop is common as well to other coins.
1618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Any airdrop hunters here need some leads on: June 16, 2023, 02:09:08 PM
Airdrops are different now from the method we used to do so, there are testnet now but it's not guaranteed you will have your share of the airdrop of the project. What's effective now are retroactive airdrops that involves participating on the mainnet of the project and spend some money of gas or swap of their native tokens that earns a credit towards the payment of their tokens in the future. I participated lots of testnets for a year now but nothing happens lol. Only I get a bunch of disappointments of many projects running these testnet programs.

Most of the airdrops are just a display of their network as testnet for them to see how the real mainnet may look alike when fully launched, they also uses airdrops to advertise themselves and widespread the awareness of their project through that means, there's nothing much too bad about airdrops as long as we can get a genuine one which could be real and different from others that cannot be trusted.
1619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you trade altcoins during the bull run or just hodl? on: June 16, 2023, 02:02:36 PM
Next year will be my first bull run and have just been thinking about what will be best to do when it finally arrives next year.

Do you plan on just holding till an amount you are happy with or is it a good idea to try and trade altcoins whilst they are pumping to earn even more?
The excitement of your first bull run and explore various strategies to maximize gains. Consider holding onto investments you believe in while also trading promising altcoins during their pumps. Be mindful of the eventual market correction when profit taking occurs. I think Bitcoin is a sound investment to hold because it could reach new record highs and because of the coming halving effect. Stay educated balance your portfolio and make informed decisions. While the market is in a bull market take advantage of growth opportunities.

It's very important to kow that making trades is encouraged during bullrun because the rise is certain and would have been attained while there will be high volatility, because the coin may tend to drop at any time if you're not selling during the bullrun season, so many people understand this logical explanation and they sell to buy again when there's more dip because it is believed that during the bullrun, there's much of the market price being highly volatile.

I liked to use TRON, but the fees became much bigger lately, and I'm thinking to switch to something else to be honest.

I want to believe that tron is not the highest consumer of transaction fee here in cryptocurrency, there are many other cryptocurrencies that their network fee is more high, I've been using tron and i like the fact that they are reliable and very fast, their fee rate is not beyond the normal, one can still manage up with the affordability unlike as being applicable on other networks, i just don't see the increase in it as something much than ome can be able to afford.
