Yes I believe also that it is those who are addicted to gambling and don't make money from it that suffer from it, they keep regenerating money for the owners of game houses and casinos. But come to think of it, this circle of addiction won't stop because gambling has existed back in time and we have people who are newly converted into addiction on it while some have gotten help out of it.

Hence, the buttom line is it better to have tasted the negative aspect of gambling which of course is losing then you decide how to handle your gambling bankroll, emotion and greed.

Well to an extent I came to understand your point on gambling with your spare money and not chasing your loses if you lose but to take it as though nothing much has happened. Yes such mindset is only exhibited by someone that is not a regular gambler and that is why it becomes a sign of non gambling addict. An addict has that strong will to keep chasing back his loses which is a major characteristics of all addicts and fun and entertainment are the primary drive for a non addict and he is scared and weak to take another try after losing, this has happened to me severally.

Most gamblers are optimistic to win their bet but the more experienced prepare for eventuality and that is the reason you should bet as you can bear the loss incase the bet goes south.

So in her own case and in some others who don't come public to show their pain, she might have thrown in alot into her bet and thinking she will hit a jackpot but unfortunately her plans didn't work for her. She isn't seeing it as one of those things that is possible to happen but she chose to cry her tears out.

Meanwhile, why are some users referring to "her" as "he"?. I have read a couple of responses like that, why replacing the personal pronoun "She" with "He" ? At least she got a beautiful face and some attractive female looks  . Or we didn't just read the thread/link.

If public sympathy would carry the boy far I don't know but people could be looking at the plea for his school fees and I won't be surprised if someone comes out to pay for the school fees but definitely not the gambling company because if he had won, they would pay him and nobody would say he is underaged so don't pay him.

Government also has a role to play on game house falling ignorant or mistaken to allow underage to gamble with them. Hence, they should be seriously penalized and made to pay heavy fine and by that they would be serious to scrutinize the age of suspected underage.gambler.

Although, such scrutiny would be difficult online but if an underage beat such underage limitations and gamble then it is at the peril of the underage but if it is offline then a proper scrutiny should be done and where in doubt , the age or birth certificate should be produced so as to be show the gambling house projects itself.

Sorry but I think trading is as risky as gambling. If you can't gamble then it is better to search for a job than doing any of gambling or trading. Trading involves high risk and many have analysed it to have some features as gambling although it may not be the same but the fact remains that it is also risk. But a job gives you a more relaxed mind without risk of losing your money to untraceable person  . Working has its advantage and disadvantage, and the disadvantage is that you won't earn more than the agreed payment but gambling gives you that risky advantage. However, for newbies who are finding it difficult gambling, choose to search for job.

Election truly is suppose to be an opportunity to change a non performing government and political party but unfortunately it doesn't happen as the tenets of democracy that bring in new democratically elected government. Election in many countries is not free and fair and that is the debacle of many countries that they have continued to have bad government in place and that instigates coup against the corrupt government. In Niger and other troubled west African countries, this has been the ugly head that has disturbed the continent.

This is a technical question but if we are to go with what the addiction means you see it is what you like doing. So about gambling, addiction is seen in a negative way like it is assumed it has negative effect on people who gamble because they are found always in losses. Those are termed as addicts is because they are losing in their games and won't give up, so they repeatedly play but whether a successful gambler would still be called an addict, I think it will be relative. Some may follow from the meaning of the word to say they are also addicts while you could still see some that will disagree since he is successful relating to gambling.

I think to take advantage of price increase is to DCA as soon as we can determine that resistance has been broken. So the challenge is the certainty we need that the trend has turned upwards because btc is highly volatile and can drop back within 24 hours to return back bear  So my advise to taking advantage of bull ride is to DCA but on a reason that it has been confirmed for bull.

The crying part to me I believe is just to get sympathy and probably get attention either to grow her followership in whatever social media platform she will further post it.


Surely if really she lost out, she will go back to try regain her lose. Gamblers have this in common, they chase back losses but I hope she doesn't get bruised badly when she does go back for her chase.

As always said, bet as you can bear the risk and like you rightly said, it is luck with gambling and to hit jackpot is not certain all the time. So to have a 100% chance of winning a bet is not guaranteed. We have different prediction sites especially for soccer games but all of them are just there for the business and not that they are giving 100% winning results, they are only surviving from the subscription of gamblers who sheepishly sign up with them. A gambler always rely on his luck to win and that is why they are happy if they win because if you are sure to win then the happiness will not be there since it will be seen as normal. So there are no guarantee bet for winning.

I don't think that was even important here because it is not about issues withdrawing or any other matter on KYC etc. This is about how she wanted to go for the multiplier and lost her money. Gamblers know it that it is risky between multiplier and losing what you have staked so it is not about terms. Every gambler has the innate orientation that you can lose the money or you can have more and that is why they are gambling.


I have witnessed female gamblers alot but maybe not going on social media and crying. She probably would have another agenda in her mind, like to trend for the moment on social media or to get sympathy from the public for refund or part of it. All those are possible but also difficult to refund a gambler except she threatens to commit suicide.

That is talking about budgeting. To have a range of amount to gamble help to put a stop to losses. At least to have a weekly plan is better and it starts from how much we leave at the gambling account, if you keep so much money above your budget for the week then the chances that we will keep playing from it after loses is high. If we could plan a certain amount daily and total it up to week then even if we exhaust the bankroll in one day, that takes care of the week. However, it is not easy for an addict, a regular player or someone who only gambles after awhile can control his emotion but an addict will find himself going back to bet until he runs out of coins in the account.

Your question is open and can go in any direction.

However the future is very bright for cryptocurrency and bitcoin being the king already adopted by El Salvador few years back is a sign that it is coming to global recognition. More adoption by institutions and conglomerates will boost the market, already I read on  this thread
that Honda motors is accepting payment of their cars in bitcoin. This is a big adoption waiting to be followed by other big private investors. It is a great value that has been added to cryptocurrency in general.

I think the major dream killer is procrastination. Many people who have not been able to carry out their dreams did procrastinated over it and that caused them the zeal to carry on with it. We need zeal to be able to move our dream away from mere wishful thinking to manifestation of reality. It requires a drastic step to carry out ideas like those who have achieved in the areas of technology, science or medicine, they had to deprive theirselves certain comfort before they could innovate whatever they had dream of. Those with scientific minds didn't give up until they have achieved in their field, example in electricity, automobile etc.

This is surely a good news for the chef guys and those in that industry at $20 per hour but this is my concern above. If there is difference between those in the fast food industry and the general work force minimum wage, I think that will cause new chase of job to fast foods and abandoning of old jobs which will bring a little complications to employers. Workers like higher pay so maybe it should be made uniform . However, I understand it was meant to create value in the fast food workers so they are not treated as less value area to work in.

You can't be surprised about the growth so far because the internet has recorded great traffic and every business outfit want to take their business not only to the door steps of the customers but to their beds. During the COVID-19 pandemic, that was when the work from home increased and today virtually all businesses now exist online, some creating different apps to make you comfortable patronizing them, of course the competition is high even among casinos and they are creating different features to keep winning new gamblers and retaining old players.

Make I just put small mouth here. My brother, the thing be say government no want stop the program and as them never stop am, well it is necessary to still follow them do am as a graduate because na still one of the things to show say you go tertiary institution, e get the kind work wey dem go still require you to submit discharge certificate, although I still know say for naija money or contact dey do everything but you wey no get all those, collect your discharge certificate or if you no want go then apply for exemption letter.

The thing be say for me NYSC don outlive im value. Since 1973 wey Gowon establish am after the civil war, them still dey feel say e dey create unity but we all know how realistic that assumption dey.

Some members for national assembly don be create bill to abolish the program but e no go through. For me make them scrap am then gather the money wey dem go pay corpers each for that 12 months then carry am give each person make dem take help demselves. That go increase SME small even say electricity no dey. But government no go do am as na still part of them dey gey contracts for NYSC like the uniform, feeding/cow, beddings etc and na big money dey dere

In the case of casino, most complaints have violated the rules before they get a ban from the casino. In the case of crime, the judge may know that the accused is lying I might till have mercy on the person not to give very hard judgement or punishment but casinos protect their image and will hardly go back from the ban because they don't want to lose money from the player again. In casino business, it is between the player and the casino and so it is more serious, if the gambler gets a ban it means they have done some cheating against them. I understand your but though but we need to be sure that the player who is complaining is fair enough before complaining.

This is good news and at the right time to cause huge use of bitcoin. I think hodlers of bitcoin won't find it difficult to spend their coin on buying luxury cars rather than making huge payment of fiat to buy car. This is good and more giants in the automobile industry will follow what Honda has done. This is huge adoption news and more like this will cause the price of bitcoin to rise and its value also. I hope Honda continue this adoption move so that more financial institutions will be encouraged to come in.

This kind of feeling in gambling is normal. Maybe you have played successfully for sometime and you feel you could take up more risk. We all feel that way and it is okay to feel that way. On the other hand too you might be having lesser wins and you want to try a bigger luck by increasing your risk appetite. Whichever way it is, you are not alone on it but you have to know that you are over stepping into your budget incase you lose you might start feeling bad.

So what you need to do is to increase your budget to also take care of the new risk your are undertaking because while you had your initial budget, you already had your mind on either losing it or increasing it, so likewise now that you have increase your staking power you also should increase your budget for it. It is alright to take a bigger risk because of the expected profit but you need the emotion to handle the loses also.
