In sport, I prefer football the most. If you are a gambler and checking the livescores sites, you will see that there are many leagues and all of them do not begin and can not finish their seasons at once. Just like those like EPL, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Seria A, and some other ones may finish at once, but there are still many other leagues that you can continue to use for betting. Football is played is all through the year. I have favorite leagues to choose from all through the year.
You were faster than me in responding to this question and for sure what I wrote in my earlier comment reflect exactly your thoughts on this subject matter and right as leagues are ending another one begins and those sport tournament organizers always schedule each league for a different time,  and that has really helped the gambler to remain focused and on timely with how the follow various leagues.

So if you look closely, league breaks are only for the players and not the fans or gamblers because of the last two,  all they want is just to have an available game to divert to immediately when one finishes.

Well end of the season is a resting time for most football lovers most especially this is because at that point, they will still have the chance to follow up with other activities that may keep them busy until the league resumes again and that is what most of the other sports lovers may be doing also before resumption.

Although is also very hard to see a gambler who only loves one line of games,  some of them are fans of multiple games and leagues,  and for they are always engaged and no dull moment for them as long as the season and breaks are concerned because while maybe football leagues are on break he continues with the NBA,  or Tennis etc,  that is how they go through the year making sure that they keep their engagement at all time.

Hello,

So yes.. I will be adding lightning to the site.. I already started. It will be added in version 2.3.
The next version will be ready by end of next week- it's nothing major. Mainly the new E-Mail system (automated messages), small game board changes and more backend stuff.

I'll get it rolled out asap.


Josh


OK, now, this will be a very interesting update, most especially, the lighting network feature, I have never used a lightening Network before, and I feel ashamed to even say here that I may not completely understand how it works, since I haven't really taken time to study it well  using the lighting network transaction is easy to

But I will be very happy to be the first to deposit bitcoin through the lightening network feature when it gets integrated into the coming update, honestly can not wait.

Happy that my most prefer crypto exchange (binance) already have the lightening network feature, I will tonight to further research on this, and also find how to set up a self custody lightening network wallet.
Yeah me too I would like to be among the first tester of that feature on this casino if the lightening network is likely implemented in the casino as said, @Fivestar4everMVP setting up a lightening network payment is easy but have a lot of processes but once set up you will likely enjoy it since it low fees and faster to get through.

I have used it once and I was excited when I tried and it works,  even though I had to go through a lot of guides while setting up the first time.

Is democracy a dress for dictatorship only?[/b]

Democracy is two wolves and a Lamb voting on what to have for dinner tonight.
Two school dropouts tell a professor with two-thirds majority whats right and he has do.
It is a fact, most Counties are a Republic and not a Demo-cracy place.


Whenever I remember this quote of Idi Amin, it makes me realise once again that Democracy will not work everywhere especially in the third world countries. Indeed there’s freedom of speech, but your freedom isn’t guaranteed after that. What a despicable democracy we are living in. No rule of law is always abide by to the fullest in democratic rule, it is either the leaders are violating it, or the children’s of the leaders are violating it and lastly the citizens that have transgressed and don’t obey the rule of law because of the hardship they face from their leaders. Even in the first world countries, not all abide by freedom of speech, some are violated but theirs is controlled to the minimal level and not on all cases. Freedom of speech is a human right but know when you utter some words that won’t guarantee freedom after speech.
We hard a lot of leaders who where so autocratic and have rule with iron hands with total seizure of the people right to speech and some time those who dear to express their right to expression and freedom of speech are call attacker and lebeled an anti-government and those leaders may get them put behind bars and becoming they political prisoner and this has made a lot of other people to become afraid of the government.

But in some countries where democracy is practised in its true faith and followed with all the rules of llawfullyfollowed it becomes easier for the citizens of those countries to have the freedom to speak but not the same with other countries around the world too.
1626  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: November 16, 2023, 09:13:54 PM
I idid not predict all-time-high this year, although I predicted that the price would be within $30000 to $40000, but I thought that bitcoin will reach $37500 or close to $40000.

If you want all-time-high, continue to hold your bitcoin and do not sell. All-time-high would be 2024/2025.
At this point,  your speculation is already coming into reality and this point to a lot of the exciting motivations of Bitcoin market movers who have pushed the price to 37-38k in this period and also possibility of having more price increase in the coming days of the year but also just like you have rightly said,  we may not likely going to have a bitcoin all time high in this year 2023.

Bitcoin halving is around the corner and for that,  most of the bitcoin spectator have hard much expectation of the market all time record after the 2024 bitcoiBitcoin seizes reductions.
1627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: November 16, 2023, 09:00:14 PM
I believe you know that to quit gambling is not an easy thing when you are addicted to it, but if you are not addicted to gambling, I guess is very easy to quit to face your business that is bringing you profits. Those that is gamble for income purpose, it make such gamblers not to make big money that will remove them from poverty because they take gambling as an investment you can invest today and have full confident of earn big money before the end of the week.

Since I started gamble as an entertainment with little money $5 or $4 daily, it has helped me to earn many profits from gambling and, am not addicted to it like the way some are addicted to it by using their monthly salary to gamble in a day and return back home with tears.
Just like I already mentioned in one of the thread that have a similar title to this one on how to exit gambling addictions and how it is better to avoid getting hit by addiction since getting out is not an easy task for the addicts but it is better to protect yourself from sliding into addictions at some point.

A lot of gamblers have become uncontrollably addicted and this has resulted in a lot of negative outcomes in their life and how they relate to their immediate environments,  such that some have run bankrupt even though it could been easily avoided such outcome.
1628  Economy / Gambling / Re: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers on: November 16, 2023, 08:51:26 PM
If a gambler is challenged with a particular and personal experience with using a gambling platform, he can get the required assistance needed from the community like this by first sharing his own side of view and then others may know how they can come in, if it's gambling issues with the particular platform, then the casino have to be the one responsible for the response to each of their users challenges as such could be better treated on their announcement discussion thread.
Well, how is the casino supposed to be responsible when comes to gambling addiction and it's users? I mean, I have encountered casinos like Stake, for example which explicitly has a page in their casino which is about problem gambling and how to gamble responsibly, they explain very clearly that no one is supposed to expect to get gains over their gambling sessions. They also have a self exclusion program for gamblers who are aware of their problem; what I am trying to say is that casinos (spite of benefitting from the volume of gambling in their platform) usually take the steps demanded by law for people to realize when they have got a problem and how to address it. But beyond that, I would not personally expect a casino to put on the table huge investments to drawn away their own gamblers from fueling their own business.
The thing is that most of the casinos have this features that seek to help problem gambling toward successful exit from such addiction and this seen what they put up on their site to help those in that category and that goes a long way to show how the casino know the risk that is associated with gambling so it better to avoid it in totality instead sliding into it and if that happens the addicts should be ready to go through the process of recovery and also place much more priority on getting out 100% and nothing less.
1629  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎲BetFury.io| 💰New Bonus System | 💸Get all Bonuses from Rank 1 on: November 16, 2023, 08:21:09 PM

Well, you are right, it sure feels good to earn tokens for free for one's gambling activities on a casino, but honestly, with how stagnant BFG  have become in terms of price growth, I honestly do not see the fun in earning it anymore.

Lets assume that the term still gave the token the attention it deserved, by now while most of the coins and tokens are up, BFG should be up too, instead, it's down, with a trading volume of around $79 thousand dollars in the last 24 hours.

Not really encouraging, but all the same, I personally have not given up, I trust the team will do something about the value of BFG before the next bull run.
Well some of the gambling tokens have shown some chances at the early stage of the market listening and those who buy in or have gotten the token through airdrop or bounty will have the chance to make some profits from the token and some of the token investors will like to take their profits and that have affected a lot of those tokens market growth and continues growth of the market value some point.

So along the market line, their price dropped and was not able to recover, but if this new token from Betfury can take care of that possibility then it will be a good one and also their should not make the token to be huge supply of tokens and they aim to build the token to be a utility token on their casinos, which should also give gamblers the chance to make extra bonus while using the token on their casino.
1630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning big amount after watching streamer on: November 16, 2023, 07:58:39 PM
Congratulations. Buy bonus work like magic many times. If I remember correctly, the buy bonus I used the first time while gambling gave me huge amount of money, not working for me like before and sometimes it may not be a huge amount won. But buy bonus is still one of the ways gamblers can win huge while gambling. I am not saying it can not lead to losses because buy bonus can lead to losses despite the chance to win huge amount of money is higher than not playing with buy bonus. But higher amount is also used for buying bonus which make the risk to be higher.
I guess sometimes all this winning depends on luck because I have a hard series of winning and losing and the timing where far from each so I can't tell if the is as a result of the bonus being a special one,  slot as a high volatile luck base game,  it bonuses could be hectic to use and if anyone can make the possible attempt to make such a remarkable winning.

Also, I agree with you on the fact that there is no sure direction as to what can be the outcome from buy bonus either lose or win but the the ultimate thing right now that is important to this discussion is the the fact of his big winning because I have not had such luck before most especially in the slot.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 16, 2023, 07:17:27 PM
-snip

Concluding that Liverpool are the favorites to win the cup is too early in my opinion because there are also good teams in the league and again you should be aware that teams that gets knocked out of the champions league will join them in the next round making it more challenging for them to be the favorites. I am not condemning their performance, they are good and they have improved well in recent games and they are one of the favorites to win the Europa title.
yep, I fully support your opinion and not only that, Liverpool has to fight against other strong teams currently in the european league such as Leverkusen and this team will be a very competitive opponent and also maybe as you said a team from UCL will be present there. This third competition failed to qualify.
so we are too quick to speculate who will lift the european League trophy, while Liverpool strong performance is not the only one. other teams have performances equal to Liverpool and let's see first which UCL team does not qualify and continue competing in the European League. and we can speculate after the next round runs.
So far so good,  Liverpool has had a favourable season this season since the beginning of the season I have viewed Liverpool's performance to be likened to their performance in the 2021 season when the club was almost topping the third position before they lost some key players some due to injuries and others by transfers to other clubs,  but all the same, Liverpool have shown a lot of positive signs in this season and there is no doubt that some similar clubs may stand as opposition to them but in the end, I believe Liverpool will end the current season on a good note.
1632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Difference between crypto gamblers - regular gamblers on: November 16, 2023, 04:59:27 PM
Throughout my years using cryptocurrency I've noticed that there are some differences between people that use crypto and those that might not. People using crypto are usually more aware of little details

I have noticed opposite difference. People who gamble with crypto are more careless than people who gamble with fiat. And I think I have an explanation for that. Crypto gamblers are under influence "easy come easy go". All people who gamble, convert unintentionally their bets with their national currency and salary. So their 1 dollar bet always be equal to 1 dollar. People who bet crypto care less on an outcome because, lets say the difference in currency prices in the past and todays price let them feel more free. For example a guy who has bought 1 BTC when the price was 5k, will easily place a 0.1 BTC bet when Bitcoin price is 69k, because he will still have 62k worth asset. But the guy who will make a 6900 bucks worth bet will think twice before doing it.
Yes I tend to be more careless and spend a lot while gambling with cryptocurrencies than with fiat which because with Bitcoin most especially it stake amount may seem small since the value may not be based on the fiat but in Satoshi which may make it easier to spend higher.

But if it is local currency and the values of my stake are displayed in a local currency I can easily monitor my excesses to see and how far I may be going in with my staking.

So for sure crypto gamblers are big rollers and high gainers and same time high losers also but then the experience is different from traditional gambling.

Surely being financially stable increases our chances to good living. It helps us to maintain good healthy living that avoids unnecessary health challenges. Some people die from treatable sickness because they lack the finance to treatment and they initially rely on self medication until it is too late to be remedied even if they eventually go to the hospital by the help of others.

Seriously the need to have money can not be overemphasize because if you have not been in the situation that you need financial assistance then you wouldn't get the fact about what money can do to save our lives. It is not a ruse that the rich tries to get more because of the role that money play to better living but I won't subscribe to illegality because of money.
Yeah lack of money is a big challenge to healthy living and sure a lot of things and sicknesses that took some people's life in the past due to lack of money and timely medical treatment have become easily treatable or maintained records have it that,  as common as malaria is,  it has killed a lot of people even more than HIV,  reasons being that, malaria even as a common diseases and easily preventable and treated yet but its treatment is not still easily accessible by some who still can't afford it.

And this is not about malaria alone but every other form of common disease and medical situation that even common good food intake will prevent or cure them, but because of lack of money to afford those medics or food has led many to an early grave.

So in all that you do,  make sure you attain financial stability that can at least provide you with the basic needs.

For Bitcoin sure you can ride with that exit point of 1040,000 exit point in the next cycle of the bull run,  but then when specific that will happen is still unclear to many of us but sure that price is very realistic since it is close to the previous all-time high and bitcoin having the capital to reach that price in the next round of market run-up,  but as for the rest of the other coins mentioned, and if you want to invest in them you should also still make further research to get the necessary information that make up your decisions on those coin.

Or better still,  you just gamble with them,  since even with data,  and good speculations altcoins are still not reliable and predictable so just pick and gamble with the one you think your luck may shine most.
1635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 16, 2023, 04:02:33 PM
2023/24 La Liga season has been quite an entertainment so far. Girona is leading the league race for this season up until now. but, will Girona end the year on top? After 13 matches, Girona is 2 points ahead at the top, with Real Madrid and Barcelona close behind. Barcelona, aiming to defend their title, unfortunately hasn't had the best performances this season. while, Atletico and Real Madrid, their closest challengers, have been pretty convincing so far. Girona is having their best season yet, but some tough games are coming up for this season dark horse. Can they go all the way against the big boys? Exciting times ahead in La Liga!

Considering Girona is presently dominating the rankings, I am extremely excited about the dynamics that are developing in the league right now. It's the constantly changing obstacles in the league that I find so fascinating, mostly because of the surprising skill displayed by some teams that do better than usual. Because it makes the weaker teams more motivated to perform, this element of uncertainty raises the total entertainment value.

What really astounds me is Girona's remarkable showing considering their lineup doesn't include any players with international recognition. It is pretty remarkable that they have been able to succeed and lead the league. The idea that having star players is the only requirement for success is challenged.

Although Girona may not have faced many strong opponents to yet, I am becoming increasingly confident in their skills based on the few games they have played. The team is attempting to give it their all, even against tough competition, based on their admirable efforts and successful results in these games. This not only increases their legitimacy but also gives their upcoming bouts a thrilling element of surprise.
Sometimes,  when you want to see the best form of football,  you shouldn't look in the direction of big clubs with high-profile players,  but look for small clubs that have young players who are still exploring ways to showcase their talent,  because the bigger boys in the scene won't have any reason to show their talents since their are already made,  but the upcoming one still has all the time to build a name for themselves and for that,  they will continue to display their best skills and working toward records breaking.

So that is why,  when I see the smaller clubs putting up great shows full of enterneamnts in the league,  I am not surprised by that and I know a lot of them will still play to live themselves to be equal with other bigger clubs in the league also,  so the big clubs must be prepared and ready for any possible take over from the small clubs if they fail to defend their records.

Best practice to escape scams or any other form of security threat is by not looking for what is not looking for you,  or profits that are way too good to be true,  this is where and only when you become free from any possible impending scams as you journey ahead in the cryptocurrency,  so if you can deal with your greed and how fast you want to make profits,  you will likely not fall into any scam for a long time,  because scam is one of the fastest way to lose you money and motivations in this industry as a newbie, It not market crash because each time there is a market crash,  you can still recover along the line if you continued holding the assets,  but when you are scammed,  you assets is gone and gone forever,  so as a newbie,  work on avoiding scam by all means.
1637  Economy / Gambling / Re: BetKing.io - BKB token REFUNDS - $70k refunded so far on: November 15, 2023, 07:20:29 PM
To be honest, I don't understand your real motives. What will happen once you refund all BKB token holders? Will you sell domain and software? Leave the forum? Relaunch betking.io? Or do you plan to relaunch it? There is a casino called betcoin that was full of negative trust but that changed because they changed their behaviour. Do you think that you can wash away negative trust with your attitude and successfully relaunch betking.io? I'm just curious because once upon a time this casino was very successful.

There will be no taker, the domain is messed up even if there's a new owner the bad feedback will haunt the new owner, it's a bad business decision to take up a domain that is associated with the scam, maybe it's their conscience they already made a lot of money from a business where they used the money they scammed so they are giving back the money but talking about relaunching the casinos is out of the question.

If they have a plan to relaunch they will have a hard time taking off, they should start from scratch because they are already knowledgeable about casino operations.
Some casino can change their ways to recover and build their reputation but there's always an exception to that and Betking is an exception.
Well, don't be so certain or sure, I have never played on betking before, and neither do I have any plans of playing there any time soon for obvious reasons, but I am kind of really surprised that this casinos have such a very bad reputation on this forum and maybe some other places online.

Over here in Nigeria, betking is a very popular, big and successful brand, they are trusted all over the country, and they have hundreds of thousand of betting agents scattered in different areas and streets, all over the states in Nigeria.

So, this really makes me wonder if there is a difference between the online version of this casino, and the offline version, are they not managed by the same owner? Why is the online version with such a bad reputation, meanwhile the offline version is trusted by millions of players.
Can't really figure out how to wrap my head around this.
If you have to dig deep into several other possible facts,  you will discover that most of the casinos that have been mentioned have one similarity or the others,  but then we can not totally erode the possibility of their connections, but then also sometime I also wonder what is the level of gambling business in the country and how much their have helped in the fight against fraudulent casinos in the country.

Because aside from the online gambling space that has helped in the fight to expose some of those casinos that have robbed their clients in one way or the other.

The higher the accumulator the higher your chances of losing,  this is another multi-accumulator game which will increase the amount of winning and also have the highest possible risk of losing the bet, so for me,  if this feature is anything close to what I explain above and it have similar feature such as accumulator it becomes more risk for one to consider.

My recent losses through multiple game selections have taught me a lot of lessons that make me decide that, only use the Sigler game bet format for my sports bets.

1640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 15, 2023, 04:24:43 PM
Recently, I've had some issues with bankroll management. Although I've been gambling for years, sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option. However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well. My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?
This was my situation in my last bet where lost 0.001BTC on an 2.5 odds,  the reason was that,  I chose x on the ticket but while the game was on,  one of the clubs made a goal score within the 60 minutes into the games and at that point available cash out was down from 0.0012BTC,  to 0.00035BTC which was at the point I made the cash-out,  this step for me was poor management of bankroll even though I selected the bets having in mind that it will be drawn.

So after my cash out the other team equalized the goal and the match ended in 1:1 which still resulted in x that I selected,  but due to poor bankroll management I withdrew the available bankroll without having a thought of what the possibility was even though the games were still at 60+ minutes.

But then,  lesson leant and we move to the next bet.
