I thought there was a twist to the story from your topic, like maybe a payment was made wrongly into a gambling account and you want to report it but reading the body of your post, the contrary is the case. It is a deliberate act that you submitted your gambling account address to be paid on your signature campaign, so how is there a mistake?

You have submitted your gambling address to be paid on it so that it would be easier for you to have a bankroll to wager from  Grin

Seriously, you don't tempt a dog by leaving a bone for it, when you don't want to eat a meat then you don't need to use your teeth as a knife to cut it. In other words, you have been tempting yourself with your weekly pay to double it but unfortunately you are at the other side being battered and brushed by your no luck.


It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .

Some others can wager from their signature campaign payment and win. It is just that way, so the solution if you want that to stop is to pm your campaign manager or write on your campaign thread that you desire to change your wallet address and follow the process.

Except payment must be sent to your gambling account if that is the pattern of payment otherwise, you can change it.

woman may use pregnancy to take full advantage on you.

Looking at this title and the analysis you made, I think they didn't really tie up together.

If I understand your analysis, it is more of lactating mother and not a pregnant woman. Breast milk and or cow milk are all about feeding the new body. So I didn't see where the pregnancy comes in into advantage against the man at least.

Maybe I didn't understand the intent of your post anyway.
1844  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino security - What changed since 2017 Las Vegas attack? on: October 02, 2023, 11:25:58 AM
I think it would still be difficult to prevent such shooting occurrence in American casinos because of the legal status of carrying guns. What happened in that casino is not different from the school shooting that has been rampantly witnessed in America with the most recent about 5 months ago.

Such incident will be difficult to totally be controlled by casino security. A situation where someone has license to a gone, he could just open fire if he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed and casino to me is a spot for illicit and bad intention minded people hang out, there might still be fight breaking out within enemies.
1845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 02, 2023, 10:06:29 AM
What you are talking about is fair hearing for both parties. It is not a nice thing to only hear one side to a dispute because one party might have been the cause of the dispute, that is why they say there is no smoke without fire.

In all fairness too, I believe must users here have been trying to lean towards the side of fair hearing when some newbie accounts open up an allegation thread against a casino especially those that we know that are reputable here and most times you find out that the complainants have not followed the ToS of the casino or have contravened other conditions leading to the casino taking a punishment action.

When allegations are brought against casinos here, most responses always want to be sure of the claims of the one sided story by asking for screenshots of conversation, screenshot of issues in question and other proofs to ascertain the claim of the complainants and most times require the casino to respond where the complainants seem to have a case but if the complainants doesn't have any case, the complaints are dismissed with the flip of the palm. So I think it is a balance report here between the gambler complainants and the casinos.

Maybe it's not what is that bad if one should need some money and think about risking getting some through gambling, in this case, he realized that gambling is not an investment, such user is also aware of the risk with gambling for either winning or losing, lastly he's not taking gambling as a steady source of income to sustain or maintain a living, but instead trying out the opportunity to wether something new surprising could comes out while gambling to settle his needs.

Somebody who thinks of getting more money through gambling is a gambler because he is not doing it for the first time, he probably is doing it as a regular not for the purpose that he doesn't have money. Gambling is not a business venture neither is it an investment but a risk that you take based on luck. The general view is that gambling is for risk to double what you have even where some still consider it as fun but you don't catch fun when you are trying to take from somewhere to add to yours at the risk of losing yours too.
1847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths on: October 01, 2023, 10:49:44 PM

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

No doubt that availability of jobs will get many youths out of the street and that will reduce their exposure to vices as they say that an idle mind becomes the devils workshop, just meaning when you don't have meaningful things or positive things to do then you are likely to get into wrong things. So job creation will shift the focus of some youths away from gambling because many don't profit from it and when they see an alternative in jobs, they are likely going to throw in the towel on gambling and face their jobs.

However, the picture you painted in the body of your post that the effect of gambling is the reason of anger and maltreating of the siblings, this I doubt. That boy may have that gen from the parents especially from the father. He has anger spirit and nature of being wicked, except gambling failure only amplified it. Otherwise, every gambler who loses money should beat their wife's up, their mother or girl friends.
1848  Economy / Economics / Re: What would you do in this situation? Invest or save? on: October 01, 2023, 08:40:29 PM

Would love to see your input or a better suggestion apart from the ones I pointed out above.



You have already listed the two likely solution and all other responses would be drawn from those two. You either save and continue to work to complete it or like you said to invest it and expect to complete it as the profit comes but I won't advise you to go invest in a small business first because the business may drop with the effect of inflation.

My own advise though which should be the third of what you have listed is you can go for loan. My advise for loan is because you are already close to the needed sum of money for the business at least you already had around 75% of the capital. And if you are not investing in crypto it is better at least you can monitor the business physically. To take 100% loan for business or investment is not a good idea but if you have more than half of the capital and you believe you have a place for repayment if incase the business fails then you can go on, at least you can resell some of the structure or material to repay the loan.
1849  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The role of political and religious leaders in the society. on: October 01, 2023, 05:22:13 PM
If religious leaders are truly religious, the people won't really have any problem with how they handle and manage their country because they know, they won't gonna be unjust to them and they will fulfill their rights. Look how the Arab countries prosper, that's because their leaders know how to use their funds to improve their countries the right way. they don't publicize all their donations and they are doing their work to make their countries improve and keep up with the other top countries at the same time, they are fulfilling the rights of their Citizens and they are taking care of them.
When you talk of management of funds then you are talking of country policy, if a country doesn't have a policy anybody that becomes one of the government cabinet will have the mindset of embezzlement of funds and its not matters of religion, because a religion is not all about a country policy and governance, so people and leaders misunderstood leadership in government, leader is a public servant who only catter for the affairs of his or her people not for the particular religion they belong to. If leaders work according to religion they will be biase and they will be segmental to her citizen

Governance is not about religion but to implement the right policies for the benefit of all the people and to be sure this policy and rule of law work properly, it has to be backed with institutions that are not biase. Institutions make governance to reach even the poor of the poor because it protects everyone's right under the law but just being religious as a leader, you are going to be biase in the policies you implement, you will like to favour your religious minds and therefore the government will be a charade and nepotism, favouritism will be the other of the day.
1850  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Religions dispute in Nigeria on: October 01, 2023, 04:46:42 PM
The problem of Nigeria no be religion but na the people wey dey for government dey preach religion dey take am do campaign and dey create enemies among different people just for selfish gain. If you look at the election wey dey for court, we go see say the youth and majority of the people wanted to kick the APC out irrespective of say even north and south wey be Muslim still no support them. Nigerians want good system and not wetin religion be or wetin e no be.

My brother you try for the thread about Nigerian independence but the truth be say me too don ask questions for the street about this independence and guys no see any reason to celebrate anything about am. If na before wey Nigerians never wake up for the way wey dem dey run this country, people for still dey sheepishly celebrate, buy clothes, do different attire on their own to celebrate but na only government fit do all those once now and do all the showbiz for television. I wonder how many people go listen to the broadcast because now we sabi say everything na wash. No road, no refinery, no security, no job etc everything na lie. So you no fit flog pikin make you still tell am say make him no cry. At least we still know about the jakpa syndrome, the cheating is too much.
1852  Economy / Gambling / Re: - UGA - a Gamblers Union on: October 01, 2023, 01:03:43 PM

This is why this Gamblers union is really that pointless because you wont really be getting any support.

I mean how does op intend to enforce this even if he gets prove of cheating or scam against the gambler? Is he going to get the FBI to enforce it and take the casino and the owner to court and ask for compensation or damages? This is a pretty difficult assignment that he is wanting to embark on because some gamblers may also drop their accusations at the middle just as it is known with court cases that the accuse would later drop the case for one reason or the other. However, I wish him good luck for trying to raise an army to protect gamblers.
1853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting significant amount on: October 01, 2023, 06:56:45 AM

What can never be forgotten are the big wins we have had in gambling, which will continue to haunt our minds. And not infrequently, when someone gets a big win, that victory continues to haunt him, giving rise to the hope of being able to get an even bigger win than he previously got. In the end, the person behaves carelessly by placing bets like crazy and continuing to increase the bet, so that in the end the profits from previous winnings run out again in gambling and often his pockets are also drained because he continues to chase that big win. So it is true that we must be able to control our excitement over the victory we get.

Well big wins don't hunt my mind if I understand what you mean. Rather big wins increase the anxiety of gamblers to play more and increase their risk because to want to double their winnings like you are trying to explain too and that is the debacle of it all. As you win and try to win more, their is no guarantee for that and instead of gamblers to keep going steady on the size of bet they played before the winning, they will increase it and lose out faster. This is especially the challenge of newbie gamblers and those old gamblers who are not able to control their emotions.
1854  Economy / Gambling / Re: Plinko Simulation – BitcoinPlinko.com (Medium/Low Volatility) on: October 01, 2023, 06:23:44 AM

so I launched a website to make it convenient to see my luck before playing with actual money.

You are welcome, that is thoughtful and a good site. So how have you confirmed this above. You boost of being able to see your luck before playing with your money, so how are you sure you will win when you play real money with the casino.

How can you be sure your game will not be reset before you cash out, I'm asking if probably your website covers such research. I still believe plinko is lucky game.
1855  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: INEC lament as voters shun PVC's in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo states coming election on: September 30, 2023, 09:33:00 PM
INEC had the opportunity to win back the trust of Nigerians during the last presidential election but choose to throw our trust on the ground. I f anyone still decides to vote during any election in this country that involves these cabals, the person really tried.


Me I think say na judiciary spoil everything. That court judgement wey even uphold INEC plea say them fit throwaway bivas and irav uploading of results real time, na them I blame. The court confirm say them don already select the person wey be next so the only thing to do na to enter street but them sabi say naija youth no go like risk their lives. Electronic voting and transmission of result wey INEC themselves introduce wey law back am up, them still no use am especially for presidential because dem no say the person wey them want for government no win.

For the voters card collection, people dey even burn theirs . Why will you risk your life go vote wey be say at the end of the day , where election no hold dem go bring result wey favour their person.

The Jennifer Seifegha woman wey thugs carry bottle stab for eyes still dey voters mind and people no go want stand against who dem don select to win. Make dem just do wetin dem want as deir wish.

1856  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Too much pressure on the male child on: September 30, 2023, 09:01:14 PM
Why you want to blame? Nobody force you to be responsible, nobody force you to pay taxes too, nobody force you must have two kids, you do it at your own discretion, and you even knowingly agree to it to the point you willing to be bond in a contract for many years.

There is a lot that government is responsible for these points you raised. It is the government that force someone to be responsible. Whether you are married or not, the government does not permit you to become a nuisance to the state and so you would find yourself behind bars if you don't conform to the societal norms, values and laws . If you evade tax is already a crime that you can be punished on.

There are roles that government should take in supporting the family system like giving out scholarships and other social responsibilities, it is important and that is why governance is a social contract.
1857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: September 30, 2023, 08:37:25 PM
Yesterday my brother won some money from gambling and that day my friend sold his bike to gamble.

What a coincidence around you lol. That is how gambling play out sometimes like when you are losing, someone else is winning vice versa and the next time it can turn to favour you. This is why for many gamblers, it is a luck game and not what you can depend on for a daily living. That friend who sold his bike to gamble may exhaust all the money from the bike in playing gamble but never wins anything from it and he could express regrets and curse everyone and the casino but sometime when he didn't expect, winning will also come his way. But I can't sell my property to gamble no matter the profit potential or promise because it can still fail, there is no guarantee to win in a gamble staking.
1858  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake Balance Glitch on: September 30, 2023, 07:39:07 PM
So you are on automatic betting with Plinko? Usually, it's just a display glitch, or maybe your browser just needs refreshing or something. I hope you were able to catch that on camera or screenshot it so that they would be able to check and it wouldn't repeat to other members.

There is a possibility on this as suggested. So you have to first check on your history to see if it was recorded and if you see it there as recorded while you didn't trigger it by yourself then it might be you need to let CS know about it, it could be the automatic betting so either you deactivate it or they help you with resolving it. Well if you don't understand what is happening you can still get to support. Hope you get it resolved before playing again.
1859  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casino repeated live payout results on: September 30, 2023, 06:14:51 PM
That is slot game and your doubts is nothing to worry about. Maybe you can reveal what casino you took the screenshot from so that users can also do a check on that but I think there is no concerns about manipulation from just the screenshot you displayed, if you could drop the casino that will help to check if they are manipulated but the shots are not unusual.
1860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. on: September 30, 2023, 12:23:42 PM
If you have the habit of playing and gambling on different sports and game, I think it is not good because of some few reasons like;
YOU WILL SPEND MORE MONEY ON GAMBLING.


I think whether you play more games or one game, if you will spend more money you would because one game still doesn't have guarantee for winning so if you lose you can still want to repeat it and again again which might still be loses. Having control of our emotion is what works.


YOU CAN BECOME MORE EASILY ADDICTED THAN A GAMBLER WHO PLAYS ONLY ONE GAME. 


Not really.

YOUR CHANCES OF LOOSING WILL INCREASE, BUT YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING MAY NOT INCREASE.


Maybe possible because much games could limit the winning chance like they say out of twelve, there will be a Judas.


YOU WILL SPEND MORE TIME GAMBLING.


Not really, like I said it depends on the control you have, playing more games or single game isn't a guarantee .

But over all, gambling all the time can lead to being an addict but it doesn't depend on different sports we play but how much control we have.
