1621  Other / Politics & Society / Re: To american people : do you appreciate "Israël" to steal your money ? on: October 16, 2023, 11:59:02 AM
Israel doesn’t steal our money. We happily defend Israel because there are those who want to wipe them off the map. I think a lot of military folks think of Israel as a proxy between the US and Middle East. If Israel were to collapse or be destroyed, then next target would certain be the United States of America.

Moreover, America seem like the big brother of the world trying to protect those who don't get enough sympathy from their enemies and also plays a big brother role for the christian communities and faithful. Biden has said the US government is committed to supporting isreal against her enemies and that is part of their foreign policy and for those who are friends to US.
1622  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can somebody make a successful career in gambling on: October 16, 2023, 10:24:04 AM
Gambling isn't career, is there anyone can give me an evidence if you're always making money through gambling?

Gambling is only for fun, when you have more unused money that you willing to use it to entertain yourself. If you don't have money you can afford to lose, then gambling isn't for you.

I once read an article that explained someone managed to get rich from gambling, but not many people can do that. Those people gamble in land-based casinos. However, if we play on online gambling sites, I have never known anyone who can get rich from online gambling.

In gambling we may occasionally win but often we lose. And if we calculate the total then I'm sure we lost in gambling

From what I have also seen, those who got rich with gambling also eventually lost it to gambling because they continued gambling. Most who can beat their chest to say they got rich in gambling are those who either resigned from gambling and found another jobs to do and invested in it. Gambling is not the area where you constantly make profit because you rise some time and you fall at another time. The times you fall in gambling are more grievous because it takes you back to beginning as if you never won anything, that is why they say gamble as you can afford and the best is to reinvest what you got from gambling in other endeavors and not to only rely on gambling.
1623  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 16, 2023, 08:44:40 AM
Personally I think before starting gambling you should make a budget and have self control. When you lose your maximum daily loss/limit simply take some fresh air and reserve it for another day.

Gambling should be taken as a side hussling that you try to get a little money from and not what to be regarded as a major source of income. The problem is bettors see gambling as a job they do and that is why they keep going back for refill after they have exhausted their bankroll within their budget time.

If you don't regard gambling as a source of income then you will have that self control to hold on after your budget is exhausted with out profit and to say to truth, just few gamblers benefit in gambling.
1624  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t push playing more on: October 16, 2023, 05:21:03 AM
Gambling is like an addiction, Even for those who are not addicted to gambling, leaving gambling for them too is a painful experience and requires a lot of dedication and self commitment.

You gamble and you lose and you do not gamble and still feel the stress of not playing gambling, how strange it is. For those, who want to quit gambling for a little while so as to overcome their bad luck period, it may be good if they are still allowed to gamble a few games daily but with a very limited amount of money. This way they won't feel stressed that they are not gambling.
I'm not Tongue

If I want to stop gamble, I can easily do that and will not feel any pain to leave from gambling.

If you always think you must gamble all of your day, then it means you should find a new activity because you're have too much free time. When you have a lot activities, you will not think about gambling anymore.

There is an addiction that is chronic that whether you have time or not you will find a way of gambling irrespective of having activities or work that don't allow you time to gamble. There are some gamblers despite that they are offline gamblers, they book out the games they want to play and send it through someone to bet it for them when they are busy and can't visit the gambling house. Addiction varies and that is the difference. Quiting is good and important but it takes extra effort and support.
1625  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An agent is no where to be found. on: October 15, 2023, 07:48:42 PM
The same case has happened in my locality before.
I have not also heard about case like this before, but I am very sure case like this are possible. Some people can do crazy things just to make money. The agent is kind of dump, because I am sure he won't be able to run forever. If the agent is reported to the gambling site, then his account can be temporarily suspended, and he won't be able to withdraw the money that he is even trying to run away with. But maybe he will withdraw all his money from the gambling site so that if his account is blocked, then they won't discover any amount in the account. I know he won't be able to run forever, it might take time, but he will be exposed. If the gambling site is held responsible, then they will look for every means to provide the agent.

Agent of betting site also have guarantors so he is really dump if this story is to be the real issue. Gambling house that wants to employ an agent will go as far as doing KYC on the agent and involve  a guarantor of high repute that won't just be one, it might get to two or three guarantors, so I don't see how a customer will lose his potential winning without getting it back because an agent ran off with it. I'm sure he can only run but the company will surely get hold of him.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Drake's Curse. on: October 15, 2023, 06:00:27 PM
The winning was not the usual way and I'm sure drake didn't envisage it to come that way. He probably was confidence for winning his bet because he bet right but the unfortunate happened. That is why it is betting, anything can happen before the end of the bet.

However, drake is not a newbie gambler. He knows he has to protect his finance by not betting what he can't let go. He has lots of money and does giveaway alot to his fans, so he might also see this as one of those giveaways. Drake is a huge staker and this won't stop him to trying to hit more jackpots.

If the oil supply and price will increase in the cause of the isreal and Palestine war it will be an influence from outside both countries because they are not regarded as oil producing countries. Few days ago, the Arab countries pledged support for Palestine and those kind of influence are what could lead to such shortage in supply of oil and increase in price and yesterday there was a little increase in oil price which could be as a result of the pledge both countries are already having because US also are making statement to support isreal despite they having military strength to defend and prosecute the war. So, more or less it may lead to another NATO interference and of course sanctions will fly here and thereby causing oil price to keep surging.

Same with online casino, there’s some online casino that freeze or turn to scam with the players money. It’s important to choose reputable and trusted services to get safe betting.

But in this regard I still prefer an offline gambling house to"attempts" to run away with my winning than online casino because offline gambling house will be easier to trace and catch since they are physically present and at the reach of customers, at least one customer would know someone connected to such agent. When you are scammed by a casino, is as good as gone, that is the simple truth with the experience here so far. However it is better to choose from trusted operators both offline and online.
1629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An agent is no where to be found. on: October 15, 2023, 03:45:11 PM

So, yesterday afternoon, a man bet on a midnight game and the game played accordingly as predicted, but the surprising thing was that the betting agent ran away with the money the man won, and the betting agent is no where to be found.

However, I am here to say these are the reasons why it is not always good to gamble in a betting agent's shop, because if the manager of the shop does not run with the money a gambler wins, then one of the workers in the betting shop might run away with the money someone wins, so I do conclude that an online gambling site with good reputation is the best for gambler, so what do you guys have to say about this?.

I'm yet to hear this kind of story and to me it is difficult to accept that in all good health and verification that the bettor won his bet then the agent or worker, or manager would run away with the potential winning, like how is that possible to happen if the gambling house is registered in the country gaming board or whatever agency that issues license and accredited it to operate.

In the first place, if the manager runs away with the winning, is he also closing his business or don't he have family?

Anyway, it is a lesson not to release your betting slip because that is even the first line of proof you have but I still don't believe agent or manager would run away without trace. And moreover, gambling houses have umbrella body despite how many sublets they have operating, so with your betting slip you can proof or confirm your winning because they already know someone won a bet from their system.
It seems you are getting it all wrong, however, a betting agent is a person (or company) who makes betting easy for you, by betting on your behalf., what I get from this is that an agent is a person who have an online gambling account that people pay there money to the agent for them to bet on a game and if they win, then the agent will withdraw the person's winning from the betting account and give to the bettor who won, and the agent get paid directly from the betting company directly, so I do say that it is easy for an agent to run away with bettors money if they really want to.

Talking about if the agent shop is licensed, as long as the betting company is licensed, I don't think that those betting shops are license too. Some of these agent shops just get registered under the betting company name. That's all, so even if an Agent run, you can't do anything unless the agent is caught red-handed.
The company pays the winnings directly to the agents' account, and it is only the agent that can withdraw and give it to the winner. That's all. It is just like someone or people using your betting account to bet on a game, and you alone have full access to the betting account. That's just it.

Well I believe we are almost saying the same thing depending on how you understood my earlier opinion. Also it depends on the jurisdiction that you are referring to and how gambling is operated there. The word agent as it is used in my locality regards to gambling is the outlet of a gambling company through which bettors bet and collect their winning if they have winning by proof from their slip and they are licensed by that gambling company to carry their name and logo to operate meaning even if the person that operates the franchise (runs away so to speak), he would be traced by the mother gambling company.

Except in terms of avoiding delay in payment, you can go bet in a bigger outlet agent where you know he is credible, reputable and fast in payment without stories.

Agreed that some agents delay in payment or are unscrupulous, what gamblers do is to avoid playing with them to avoid such stories if there have been traces of delay in payment.
1630  Economy / Economics / Re: Young people needs productive mindset to be happy in life on: October 15, 2023, 03:26:50 PM

A productive mindset is what young people needs to make life easy and worth living.

I agree that in this time, a productive mindset will work more than in the past. In the past, creating wealth or being able to feed was mainly dependent on how muscline you are, how much strength you have, how heavy or big you are because must of the jobs except few then needed you to be physically endowed, present and more.

Just today some argument was going on or deliberation and in the midst of the discussion, the consensus was that it is easier to get money now than what it was 20 years plus ago and I think it is true. The reason is this time area, there are different opportunities and means to make money. Apart from the opportunities online that didn't exist before now, there are other domestic stuff that people do or resell to make money no matter how little they are. There are recycling of waste, there are domestic jobs, outdoor services etc.

To online which is the game changer for the modern day people, people no longer depend on physical strength or muscle to life a good life, they don't wwork hard but working smart is the key thin.

Youth who is still waiting for pay jobs or government job will have AI to contend with.

1632  Economy / Economics / Re: Is the need to be known a requirement to qualify for a loan(s)? on: October 14, 2023, 07:58:00 PM
That is almost like a rhetorical question or enquiry you are going into. It is as simple as will I loan money to someone that I don't know. Meaning will I loan money to someone that I can't get the money back from despite his or her verbal promises and of course that is why guarantor comes in and the place of a guarantor in a loan contract is important.

So whether offline or online, a first timer in a loan contract is well scrutinized than the person who has been getting the loan and repaying as at when agreed. In other words, the first time stand a lesser chance to get a loan than he who defaults to repay but he who repays at when due would always get loan and even more if he request.

You can get a loan while staying anonymous at least here but you must meet the conditions and those are means to ensure the money is recovered.

So to loan is a business and whoever is in the business works to sustain it and profit, so they won't give out loan to who won't pay back including interest. Banks ensure they get a collateral above the value of the loan you are going for.
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 14, 2023, 06:47:06 PM
I'm usually not lucky in winning in gambling and that's why I have limited my engagement on gambling to the barest minimum. I know some group of people who are always making cool money from gambling but after making several attempts to win my gambles, I always find out that I'm not as lucky as others so I decided not to get involved in gambling again like others. But that doesn't mean that I've totally stopped gambling as I can only gamble on sports betting whenever I can do it without my basic income.

I think it is easier to win in soccer bets if you do your analysis well and bet on few games. Those who complain of not winning in soccer bet mostly make the mistake of gathering too much games together for the sake of increasing their potential winning and that is greed. But if you gamble few games in soccer, you may be lucky from time to time and not be a serial loser in gambling.

I know someone who doesn't win because of betting too many games at a time but after he started betting on few games, he had a change at least compared to the past.
1634  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Constant cases of war and the end of the world story. on: October 14, 2023, 05:17:51 PM

It's now more like a common situation that the world is always at war with one another.

We know some religious people believe that a time like this will come when nations will fight against nations and kingdoms will fight against kingdoms and then the end of the world will come.

What's your take on this occurrence and the possibility that this prediction might be true?

That was already predicted in the bible as signs of the that will lead to tribulation. So whether the world is already in it now or facing the tribulation is yet to be known but surely the world is not at peace with the incessant wars and conflict going on because of different reasons and countries want to show their supremacy and military strength on another. The unfortunate thing is that it is the civilian population that suffers from it all. The numbers of death in Israel and Palestine war keeps rising and no intervention in place yet.
1635  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Recommend me altcoin to DCA till halving on: October 14, 2023, 04:38:18 PM

I am afraid , that before bull run such coin might have problems. I don't want coins above $100, so that it will be possible to run on good profits if the investment works.

Dogecoin doesn't look like it has any challenge or problem and that is not going to happen before the bitcoin halving. So to invest in dogecoin may be profitable and the price is quite good @ $0.059 from CMC. However, you have to DYOR but base on what you are asking for, I think that will also help your enquiry.
1636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: October 14, 2023, 03:28:18 PM

I believe in the saying that no risk, no gain, that even in gambling if you don’t risk betting, you will never win. However, the challenge in gambling is not only how to win, but also knowing when to stop when your losses have already outnumbered your winning profits. Although some gamblers can easily address to that, but for most of us, it’s actually hard to leave gambling especially when we are still in profits, or the other way around, trying to chase our losses in attempt to recover the money that was lost. But at the end of the day, the house always wins and gambling is always luck based so there’s no way that we can actually beat the casino and expect consistent wins.

No risk no gain yes but no profit in taking risk that is not reasonable. As gamblers there is no gain putting your money in a bet that you know will end up in your loss but you insist to try because you believe to take risk. Even if you have lost alot then the honourable thing to do is take a break and not chase what you have lost but it is very few that can keep to that.

There are definitely days that whatever thing you try, it will end up in losses and there are other days that it is very easy to run into profit, so it is better idenfying our lucky days and maximum our profit and then stay away from the days we hardly profit.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Flip or Trade? What’s The Bigger Gamble? on: October 14, 2023, 02:35:49 PM
Cant really be denied that trading is really that something that involves gambling but the beauty of this thing is that you could really be able to apply strategies and analysis on which it would really be lessening out the certain risks on losing a trade which it is really that totally not applicable if we do speak on dealing with luck based games on which we know that results would really be completely random. In overall, its not really that good to make out some similar treatment between trading and gambling yet they are really that different in the first place. Yes, you might need that to put up risks for you to make money or profit but the thing on how its been done and whats the real purpose will really differ.
The only reason why some user belueve that trading is not different from gambling is because they don't know anything about trading. They will just invest their money on a project or a coin and hope its price will increase. This is not what trading is about or what experienced traders do. Trading requires a lot of skills and experience and even experienced traders make wrong choices so we can't deny that luch is still a determining factor.

Trading is not for everyone and no need forcing oneself on it if you don't know how to get on it, it is better to let go. The losses in it is the reason that people still refer it to gambling because they also jump in like that without good knowledge. It is better to face the gambling than trading because you can never know what is wrong with losing in trade but in sports betting you surely know when a team you bet lose or win, even if you didn't watch the match live, you have different outlets to know the outcome.
1638  Economy / Economics / Re: It doesn't increase purchasing power on: October 14, 2023, 01:58:35 PM
When I learned about micro and macro economics at school and specifically about money and its circulation, of course the state must have gold reserves to guarantee fiat, when gold reserves are abundant then the state has the power to print more money so that it can make the people more prosperous.

What proof do you have about that, I understand that gold reserve is important to know how rich and influential a country is and fortified the economy is like US for example with the highest gold reserve in the world. But does that mean that any other country that has no gold reserve won't print there fiat like we know some countries don't and yet they print money and exist as a sovereign nation. So what is the proof of your idea.
1639  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Government job or private job? on: October 14, 2023, 12:48:46 PM
Private jobs pay more, but goverment job is more stable. The best probably would be day work at government, and then private job, for example, Bitcointalk forum moderator at evenings.

This is funny. Is bitcointalk forum moderator as evening job? I mean you don't really have to classify it as job except maybe for side job because moderators would have other diversified source of income. But meanwhile, I don't think private jobs don't pay more than government jobs. I consider business more lucrative than being either of the employees.

Although na the decay wey old people wey be like tinubu don cause for this country. If old man like that go get so much scandalous activities all around him then wetin him go teach him pikin and kids around him, nothing more than snatch it, grab it and run away with it.

See the whole saga about the Nigerian presidential election regarding the person wey INEC select as winner and the court case including the way INEC no gree release evidential materials and plus this certificate alleged forgery, the thing dey make me see oyibo pipo as accomplice to the ills of Nigerian economy, dey benefit alot.

Otherwise, why dem no ban tinubu from attending all their gatherings, meetings. At least if Dem use because of that close him out from flying into their shores, stop him and Nigeria in UN, WHO, etc den we go know say dem wan do the right thing instead of disturbing products of Nigeria why the makers are allowed to walk freely. Is this not injustice on the citizens of Nigeria. Why will they begin to scrutinize nurses certificate when dem never ban tinubu. Hypocrites and neocolonialism dey go on very strongly.
