1681  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.

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.

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.
1684  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.
1685  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.
1686  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.
1687  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.
1688  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.
1690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included) on: October 14, 2023, 10:52:01 AM
People gamble on the sports they love to watch or the sports that they have a knowledge with.  Aside from that many people are following what is hot or trending, and mostly, men's sports are gathering all the attention  so people tend to be influenced by the trend.

Aside from that, just like the earlier reply, most of us here are man so we have more interest in men's sports, the reason why most of us are discussing men's matches, even in boxing and UFC threads, we seldom discuss female fights unless someone mentioned about female fights.

Generally, the male folk dominates the sports arena. Virtually all the sports you see the women participate in, it has the original version in male sporting events. Therefore that is the reason you have more interest in male sports than in female. In fact older men that are the prude type never like to watch the female sporting events because they feel they don't want to mistakenly see a female exposed body, and they can bear that of the male as a counterpart or same sex like them.

Female sports have there base in male sports and of course the male have already dominated and generates more money than the female sports, meaning anybody that has any marketing to do on both sports sells more in male sports offline and online.
1691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: October 13, 2023, 10:29:01 PM

The popularity of sport will depends on your environment since what mostly introduce or what you is most provably the sports would provably catch your interest. Its just horse racing is not been introduce to us since the common sports we can see on free t.v is basketball,volleyball and football. Other than those sports is ignored by media since maybe their viewership is so low for covering horse racing and other not popular sports.


Horses themselves are not popular these days as they are not often seen, they were more popular during the polo game and I can't remember how popular that particular field game is now. But for horse race talking about the virtual side of it, it is in the place of casinos to increase the availability of horse games. Gamblers don't necessarily have to be interested with a particular game before it is made available because a gambler can easily try new games. So the casinos are to begin their own part to bring the horse race in our eyes by creating different bonuses for it.
1692  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you play while listening music? on: October 13, 2023, 04:36:28 PM


It seems to me that in the matter of listening to music while gambling very much depends on the mood of the person and his personal preferences. For example, I like to listen to soothing music while working and gambling, but sometimes I prefer to be in silence. Often I even purposely turn off all soundtracks. I do this not to avoid distractions, but just because sometimes I want to be in silence. In addition, in my opinion, if you really want to enjoy gambling you can not interfere with anything - neither music, nor anything else.

Like you said, it depends on the game and mood but I think the mood depends highly on if you are winning the game you are gambling on then you will feel like spicing yourself up with either drinking or playing soft tune.

But If I'm watching live match that I bet on, I don't need music, I like to hear the commentary and the feeling from the field brings some real atmosphere especially if I'm winning.
1693  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bull Run on: October 13, 2023, 03:45:57 PM

Things are not stable in the world right now, so it is unlikely that the markets will start to rise now.

This is instructive but that is not always the case with bitcoin. Bitcoin is not fiat and it is not controlled or manipulated so it may not just happen with the expectation of decrease in price for the reason of what has been happening in the world. Remember the war in Ukraine has been on close to two years and bitcoin has not done badly, so I don't think Israel and Palestine war will not be a reason but if bitcoin price will decrease, I think it will be logical because of the bearish year which is suppose to be this year.
1694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who among you here is gambling at work? on: October 13, 2023, 03:03:41 PM
At least it's just a temporary effect because the way to stop it is don't gamble at work.

But what if your employee or your boss know you're a gambler? it's a long term effect and every employees always know you're a gambler even you've stop to gamble. Most people always think gambler will give a bad effect at work, so you might be ostracized by other employees or kicked from the company.

Employers don't like what will distract their employee and so in the first place if at the interview level and you were asked about gambling and whether you criticize those gambling, it is a way to ask if you have interest in gambling or whether you gamble so your response will determine if you will get the job base on what they want.

If a company is not looking for gamblers you may not be employed in such places especially if you have to be handling cash at the work place. So it depends on what the employer wants but majority of the establishment want someone committed to the time of work. No employer will be happy if you misuse the working hours.
1695  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: October 13, 2023, 12:47:27 PM

The rest have to go with the traditional way, earning an educational degree and trying to look for the best job for their niche. A lot of people say that degrees don't matter, all you need is knowledge, skills, and experience, I only partly agree with that, because a person who is the sole breadwinner for their family can't just keep trying to get success through their skills and they eventually have to find a way to at least earn some money to survive.

Both degree and skill are for the purpose of being able to financially take care of yourself and family but that is depending on how you are able to plan yourself. It is not only through education that a breadwinner can survive but even through skills. Above all to diversify your source of income is ultimate. For example whether you have a guarantee job in government or you are someone who works with his acquired skill, to be successful you need to spread your net to other areas other than just one source of income.
1696  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 13, 2023, 10:55:39 AM

I believe that abortion before the 15th week of pregnancy should be a girl’s choice, since it has a very low probability of harming the girl. After week 15, I would give the choice to the doctor.

This is not really the question of who should perform it, whether the doctor or the person or couple but the contention is whether it is good or not to do it, the pros and cons of abortion. Then the views to it. Well it is such a completed issue, back in the days it was not really considered by some homes but with different challenges and needs, the discuss and views about it is shifting.
1697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health on: October 13, 2023, 10:20:58 AM
I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.



I have witnessed this kind of scenerio too where the gambler was sure that his last game on the bet would be successful but it later turned out to be wrong. I his own case he had already gathered his friends in drinking joint to celebrate the expected victory while they were still watching the game live in that same joint and viewing center. The funny thing is that the bar tender didn't bother to stop any of them from drinking in the gamblers name on credit since he instructed them. Behold as the game of football is not determined until the final whistle (FT) , the game atmosphere changed and there was a deafening silence at the joint because the gambling was losing the game and finally, it ended against the bet and that was how he lost about $7,000 plus the debts accumulated from the drinks at the bar.

So your friend in question is lucky no expenses is incurred on him yet.. In the game of football , it is not over until the last whistle .

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.


At the last game, people usually build that kind of confidence and expectation for winning the bet especially if it is a longtime you have been losing. But the solution to this is to cash out to avoid the pressure and uncertainty of winning.
1698  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin investment and real estate investment, na which one get advantage pass on: October 13, 2023, 08:09:35 AM

Sha, we all can't make the same choices, and I think it all depends on personal goals and likes.I really love real estate, so I can't pick BTC over it. We all know there are lots of gains from owning a land, house, or estate. It's the only asset that doesn't diminish.



I still prefer property far above btc investment. Me I believe say btc bull na temporary and if you no sabi when the bull don expire, omo na next 4 years you go expect your profit, depending on how much price you take buy or you sell in lose.

Dem two na good investment options, because na where you go put your money and you go de sure of returns on your investment. So for me to get di one wey go de sure pass for my side na to consider factors wey go give me advantage pass for inside di two. One outstanding advantage wey I feel say real estate get pass bitcoin be say di former no de stressful like di latter. You need internet to de check weda bitcoin, de enter halving, ATH, bull run, chart to predict di market weda price de pump or dump, real estate, na to relax and de sure say anything wey you wan sell, high probability de say di value don increase and you go make plenty profit.

Anoda advantage of  real estate investment be say you fit bargain price of your property and sell to di highest bidder, but you no fit to bargain price for bitcoin, na wetin di market price be at di time wey you wan sell, na im you go collect.



Op your talk make sense here.

About the two factors wey you dey consider on property above bitcoin investment, all businesses get their challenge. That property own too, sometimes people dey pay land or house wey dey inside fight and court case. So if you dey unluck or deceived into buying the land na problem be that. Although I agree say property dey give you more time because you know need to check or recheck like as the internet business be but if you get better phone with strong network reception you go still see say to navigate the internet still easy, na passion be the thing. So we need to invest for the area wey we get passion.

The other point wey you drop, yes everybody know the price of bitcoin but e still get people wey dey negotiate their own price for back like P2P or those wey dey do arbitrage buying and selling.
1699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 13, 2023, 07:51:10 AM

I get lucky with investments even with shitcoins though. All networks today from ETH down to Arbitrum I think already have memecoins on them, I could never get bad luck If I invest DOGE and SHIB today.

The expectation for shit coins to rise for profit can only be possible with bitcoin halving, that is if the bull really hit the market next year. As for the two memecoins, I can only hope on doge and not Shiba incase I want to compare shitcoin profit with gambling success. However, gambling expectation for profit is probably daily but the risk for win and loss is almost the same or the losses are higher.

In terms of investment though I will prefer shitting with dogecoin.

I don't really know if there are users here who rely on the reviews from website that open up here for their own business. I still feel that most review sites are for business and that is what they are for. I will prefer to read on the scam and reputation board to get a direct pulse of a user here on the way he was treated and get the response of the casino and then the judgement of fellow user of the said casino in question, that is the review I will prefer.

Anyway, you are welcome to the forum and we wish you do your due diligence and not be biase.
