21  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do if you are loged out from your Sportsbet app after wining? on: May 29, 2024, 09:47:26 PM
I don't know if such thread has been created already but there was a news that was trending some weeks ago about a man who won #14million Naira which is equivalent to $10k and was logged out of his sport bet account, he tried severally to access his money but didn't Work out. he sent the Sport betting site a message but didn't get a positive feedback so he had to come out publicly to explain his predicament on air. Below is the link Man logged out of his Sportybet account seeks access to his N14m

My question is has anyone of you been in such situation before? And how were you able to handle such situation?
I have heard such story before, for a particular person who played bet and immediately the person is wining and they lodged out the person from their website and the person tried to login and they deny the person access, I could remember one certain time that I was reading something in this forum and someone give a reference of 1xbit, that they are a scam betting site that is good of scamming people even when you win in their platform they will not give you that access to make a withdrawal, so basically I think that it's a similar case if I'm not mistaken, but I have not heard of sporty bet if they are part of that.

If you are family man and you have kids to feed. Make sure that you allocate first to the basic needs, food, rent, bills, etc. And whatever is left there is the one where you're going to pull your funds off for gambling. So, let's say that you have $50-$100 remaining for every month, do you think that you're able to live with that amount as your bankroll for the entire month? I don't think that many will do but if you are having a tight budget then you have to deal and live with it.
you're right, and someone who is a family man that is working is someone who can remember to make such calculations and it work out for him, because most of persons that's a gambler really be inquisitive to make money through gambling and most of them that don't think of reservations of welfare of children and reservations of funds to new of apartment before they go into gambling, as I said that someone that will have such thinking is someone who is working already but someone who is jobless will think that the little he or she have can be multiply through gambling, so gamblers have different narratives.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: May 28, 2024, 09:44:46 PM
It is really because of different feelings that whoever has money indulges in gambling addiction. When a person keeps winning money repeatedly from gambling he becomes addicted unknowingly because it is considered as the best way to earn money and become rich. Otherwise, everyone is interested in gambling knowingly because there is a source of losing or making double money. Gambling companies will always look for the best way so that they can catch a lot of gamblers. The more you become addicted to gambling the more those companies can increase their profits.
Yes of course, it's understanding that every gambling site needs traffic in their platform, so when you're playing gamble frequently and you are experiencing loss almost everytime, it's clear that you are enriching the platform of that particular gambling platform, so many people who chases after their loss don't know that the more they are chasing loses the money they are enriching the platform because for them to win when you are chasing loss is very slim, so we don't need to be chasing our losses because is one of the things that contributed almost hundreds percent of someone getting addicted with gambling.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did/do you handled a gambling addict story. on: May 28, 2024, 09:35:29 PM
Here I am going to share the story of someone I know who has lost a lot of money in his life through online gambling on mobile and has recently been able to stop himself from gambling and drug addiction. Basically I am highlighting a change in the personal life of a friend of mine. A close friend of mine got involved in drugs and gambling in addition to being in college, and for a long time he was a kind of insider from gambling and drug addiction.Disgust has developed and he is able to restrain himself from the strong attraction of gambling. In this case, his close friends and his family played the best role. Let us say here that no matter how big the problem is, if the matter can be shared with the family, then it is very easy to get rid of that problem. My friend shared this openly with family members and they helped him out of gambling and drug addictionSufficient help is forthcoming. Basically my friend was able to succeed due to family motivation and religious motivation and he was able to prevent himself from all kinds of bad deeds by going to the mosque regularly and offering prayers.
to relief yourself from gambling addiction and even alcohol addiction is very easy, the thing that you will do to free yourself in such is to relocate from that particular environment you find yourself to another environment, sometimes people get addicted in anything they do due to influence in that particular environment, secondly gambling is like decision and their is some people who do take a decision that they most recover whatever they have lost in gambling and unless they recover their loss they will not settle down, so what we need to do when we come across such people is to relocate them and engage them in so many activities that will consume much of their time.
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 28, 2024, 09:26:53 PM
Gambling is becoming a popular thing in my locality almost everyone gamble and even colleagues gamble and engage in gambling related discussions at work,  so gambling is legal and very popular so there is no Shame in using part of a salary to gamble with that is why I am asking the question of what the right percentage from my salary that I should use to gamble?
the most of people in the society is jobless especially countries that's uncivilised and they seems gambling as only avenue of making money, so therefore,  we need to understand that what lures people into gambling is not only pleasure or they seems gambling as entertainment kind of, they are seeing gambling as only means od having a burks money and that is why you see different people queuing up into gambling, so people in local environments and also who is jobless take gambling as source of generating revenue and that's why you see many of them as associate of gambling in quantum.
26  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: May 28, 2024, 09:20:48 PM
So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.
Do you often find them hiding in that place while gambling, if so, maybe they do this so that their family doesn't get caught gambling, but if they only occasionally gamble in that place, it could be that they are not actually hiding to gamble, but because they They didn't know what to do when they were hanging out with their friends, so they spontaneously decided to gamble at that place and have fun while telling long stories with their friends.
Some people don't like to be seen when gambling because they always claim to people that they are not gambler, some behave like that for them to extract money from other inform of doing something reasonable, and funny part of it you will see them criticising gambler when ever other are  talk about them.  Some people usually hide because they always claim that they have changed but since it has become addicted to them, they hide so that his friends or family members will not notice them.
Sometimes you will not blame them because some people tagged a gambler as a wayward person, do you know that many people develop hatred to someone who is a gambler, are you aware that any person that's a gambler people do think they are nothing, do release that some people hide and gamble because they don't want their family to know that they are into gambling, their is people who keep secrets of gambling and they don't want people to know exactly that they do participate in gambling, any individual have its plans in gambling. So keeping secret as gambler have another good impact if you're a family person.
27  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: What is merit all about? on: May 24, 2024, 09:16:11 PM
Greeting everyone. I was newly introduced into the system by a friend who made me to have so much interest in the system with the zeal and the passion to learn and gain adequate experience on the system but one of the major problem I'm having now is that I'm not well clarify of what merit entails and as such I will be very grateful if any good minded person can kindly throw more light on that to enable me understand in details and also benefit from the system.
to go much to explain what is merit, from normal way of understanding you know that everyone is interested for the merit you are emphasizing for because merit is like the engine behind the forum when you don't have merit you will have a limited growth but when you have merit you will continue to grow for this community so that is why merit is very necessary and the everybody is inquisitive because if you don't end in merit your growth will it be limited so on my own understanding I think that merit is needful to get.
28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are banks against cryptocurrency? on: May 24, 2024, 04:31:12 PM
For me I think your Banks is against Bitcoin because it is a decentralized currency and when looking at it government does not have any power to control in Bitcoin so that is why bank and want to turn Bitcoin to a centralized currency which it cannot happen because bitcoin is not being controlled by government why bank is being controlled by government so there is total difference between bitcoin and the Fiat currency which I know very well, so anything bank is analyzing in Bitcoin is what government of that country is emphasizing to Bitcoin in that particular country any country that the banking system is against Bitcoin that means the government of that country is also against Bitcoin technology
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Allow Non-investors to discourage you in your Bitcoin journey...? on: May 24, 2024, 04:27:09 PM
I think the only investors who takes advice from non-investors are either newbie, lazy or fool, I mean why would they even take it or believe it? they are the investor they should have done their research before investing so they know more than those non-investors.
They should know how to manage their own funds, decide for their self, if they would always rely on other people they would surely end up losing more rather than earning.
a good investor suppose have make sure that they make a proper research concerning Bitcoin before investing I know very well but cryptocurrency investment in something that is diabolic so a good investor that he has conduct a proper research I don't know why some people fail to make a research before then go into any investment for me it is bad as investor because you need to carry out many functions don't know the advantages and the disadvantages to know if the Investment we propagate or not so that is the necessity of someone who is investor to keep it eye open.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: May 24, 2024, 02:50:55 PM
You just need to think more broadly and not limit yourself to gambling. I feel sorry for those who have only one such hobby, because life is interesting and you need to try yourself in other areas. I'm sure many gamblers have excellent potential to realize themselves, but they don't yet know where exactly. They need to make an effort and find themselves, otherwise no one will do it for them.
No, we must limits ourselves in gambling, especially for people who wants to use gambling as hobby. They don't knows that can gives risks for them if they treat gambling as a hobby. Playing gambling needs money and not all of the time we can manage our self control when playing gambling because we are weak with the temptation. There will be a time for us to lose ourselves controls and that can be the reason why we playing gambling longer than usual. If we use gambling as a hobby, that means we needs more money to fills our wants to playing gambling and we must thinks about the risks of losing the money in gambling. We can lose more and more money in gambling even we don't realizes that we already lose that much money. Before it's late to realizes, we must limits ourselves playing gambling so we must do prevention that will helps us to stay away from problem.

This venue is too risky even you treat it as source of entertainment as the chance that you may fall into addiction if you don't limit yourself, most of the time, it's start with a simple enjoyment and eventually you'll find yourself getting deeply engage and unable to control your emotions.

The more you play the longer you stay and the chance of losing a lot, there's always a proper way of treating your gambling activities just be open and accept the fact that if you don't  control yourself then you'll regret after.


When you strategize yourself very well in gambling I don't think that you will be participating in gambling almost every time because the more you are participating in gambling most often do you have the chance of losing and also have the chance of winning this is what is involved for someone who take gambling as one of the major things so I know quite well, that gambling is something that has to do with things of risk and if you don't take normal dimensions to partake in gambling I think you will end up of having a continuous losing in gambling, I think basically you have to understand the procedures of gambling.
31  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 24, 2024, 02:42:45 PM
Yes, gambling every day is not bad. It is a good thing. Yes but just know that this is how you also be losing different food different days until you get your winning test it’s not just easy the way everyone think but it’s also good because whatever you’re doing over and over again, you keep perfect to eat because you would take time. I understand it properly. It may end up losing a lot, but it will fine as long as you win and you cover up or you have lost.
who told you that gambling everyday is not bad for me it is bad because it will lead you to be addicted in gambling when you have no plan for such because being addicted in gambling will make you to be restless because you have looking for any opportunity for you to win in gambling, so for you to win in gambling I have to have a timetable that will make you to know the exact date that you are supposed to gamble because whoever that the gambles everyday does not have a savings, so it is better for you to gamble based on what you have not to gamble everyday in order to win everyday.

For me gambling is just like a pleasure and when you have the time for gambling you involve yourself I know very well that the many persons maybe thinking otherwise in gambling based on then think that dumpling is the shortest way to make money so that is the only reason many people do say that the gambling everyday is good and they have not seen anything bad to participate in the gambling everyday.
32  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: May 23, 2024, 07:46:02 AM
Involving yourself in gambling you need to have a statistics to gamble because participating in gambling everyday I can make you to be addicted in gambling and if you are a family person it will be a distraction and discourage for you, based on my notice and the knowledge whoever that indulge in gambling frequently that does not mean that it is a credit for you to win a gambling we know that gambling is a game of risk and the game of luck which it is unpredictable and the gambling everyday will not assure you winning it is based on the opportunity and luck you have that with determined your winning not your frequently that will give you wining
33  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: May 23, 2024, 07:41:43 AM
That is the more reason why gambling shouldn't be hidden from the young ones and most people basically practice anything they see online more especially when they come from celebrities or influencers that is the reason why people need to educate their children with proper knowledge of the things happening around them so that when they hear it outside, they won't be misled or misinformed.
provided that social media is into existence internet Explorer everywhere there's no need of hiding gambling to a children but what you let them know is that we have a a particular stage that children will you reach before participating in gambling that should be a clear understanding to them than hiding a gambling to them so from my own understanding social media is exposing everything by your thinking that is in secret since it has happened that way we need to take another precaution or step to make sure that we give our children the right information that has to do with gambling not to hide gambling to them totally I think then we still notice what is gambling provided that there are using internet
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think casinos can stop demanding KYC? on: May 23, 2024, 07:37:39 AM
Casinos existed without the need for KYC's until the government made it a requirement, and they started demanding it. IMO If the government no longer requires casinos to do KYC verification for new gamblers, casinos will go ahead and still do KYC verifications because they have seen the benefits of knowing their customers better than when they just allowed people to come onto their platform and gamble without their knowledge of who they were. What do you think? Do you think some casino's will revert back to non-KYC and allow money launderers, plus other fraudulent people have their easy way with them as a way to attract customers, or since they recognize the personal benefits of KYC to their casino, will continue demanding it even if it affects their customers?
the objective of kyc is not for government is to be assure of the particular account so that they will not be commitment of any site fraud with the such a particular account government cannot demand for kyc verification of any account it is that particular platform that will demand for it because they know actually what is their target and there are selective to know people who want to patronize them I think about it should be the essence of having a kyc
kyc verification is very important to any platform that this with the casino sometimes to form casino platforms does not really the mind focusing on both for me it will be preferable and the understanding for we to have done our kyc verification for any platform that we are into especially casino because I understand that casino platforms uses the avenue of not being verified your account to come against their participant mostly some casino platforms that have the mindset of scamming people so we should set government aside of being verified in any platform because any casino platform how plans of what they want.
35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shocking rate of women interested in gambling. on: May 23, 2024, 07:33:17 AM
It’s not alarming. Not even surprising to see women participating more in what would have been classified decades ago as a man dominated activity. Your topic head certainly has an alarming tone to it but when going through the topic, I failed to see just how alarmed you are to see women now doing what they want.

You’ve noticed the gradual increase in numbers over the years so it shouldn’t be alarming as it’s barely a new thing; really. Also, with society gradually changing over the years, women are not subjected to the background anymore and are free to indulge in and enjoy any activity they fancy. Little to no societal stigma and no expectations expected from anyone anymore on how to behave.
The thing is that you will not understand that women recently have engaged themselves into gambling and they are doing that secretly that was then but currently many of them is into gambling and they are proud of it they are doing it to the awareness of everyone so I've not seen anything wrong for woman to participate in gambling let us just believe that women can do what men can do in aspect of gambling and luck can be with them for them to gamble and the win for the gambling so I have no see any bad act for women to participating gambling
36  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be careful with people's money on: May 23, 2024, 07:12:56 AM
Before you give someone's money to keep for you make sure that you you have trust in that person before giving the person money to hold for you sometimes it is us that refuse to understand human being before we give the person 100% Trust for me I must examine you very well before I can handle over anything that has to do with the finance to you so human being is unpredictable when he come in terms of money someone you think that will not disappoint you or will not mismanage things is the one that will mismanage forms I know right well that we have to understand the procedures of management before we give anyone to keep for us for long time or short time
37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why use decentralized bitcoin in a centralized way? on: May 22, 2024, 09:23:27 PM
Pardon me if I am digressing, I am still in the learning process.
I have been reading about  Bitcoin since i joined this forum. I learnt that decentralization is a unique attribute of Bitcoin. And this attribute permits bitcoin users to have total control over their money and be their own banks.

From my research recently, I have come to realize that a lot of bitcoin users are still stuck with the traditional idea of saving money with a central authority. Importing this idea to a decentralized Bitcoin, has led to the invention of bitcoin banks, exchanges and custodial wallets. Now, as the day passes, more bitcoiners are becoming centralized.  Is there a club or group of only people who uses bitcoin the Satoshi way, I will like to belong here.

I do not want to use bitcoin the centralized way, I want to have total control of my coins and be my own bank. Is this difficult to achieve? Are there prices I have to pay or is everyone eventually moving to the centralized way?

not all digital currency that is decentralized but cryptocurrency mostly Bitcoin is decentralized currency and the government have been emphasizing on a way that they will make a cryptocurrency mostly bitcoin to be a centralized currency, but what makes bitcoin to be unique today is because it is been decentralized and the government does not have any power to control it market price and when looking at it you can see that what makes it to be decentralized is the unique nature of Bitcoin, for me I know quite well that currently what makes Bitcoin to stand firm today is base on its a decentralised one, assuming is a centralized currency it wouldn't have any effect worldwide.

Are your parents investing in bitcoin ? Has it impacted your journey with crypto ?
bitcoin is one of the mega investment on earth right now if for example your parents accumulative bitcoin for you it is investment for you because nobody knows the future of Bitcoin tomorrow it might be that in future that the price of Bitcoin in value will be more advantages than the price of Bitcoin currently so I will appreciate when someone gather or accumulate bitcoin for me because cryptocurrency mostly Bitcoin is going to dominate the world in future reference everyone likes to invest in cryptocurrency because it is a decentralized currency so it is good for me to have investment more in Bitcoin that having a manual business
39  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin proven many times holders won't regret on: May 22, 2024, 09:14:52 PM
If we see the history of Bitcoin, then it's pretty easy to see how Bitcoin recovered its price. It would take time to recover, but eventually it did. So at the end of the day, holders don't need to be regretful. I am talking about Bitcoin, not about any other altcoin. Because even though the Bitcoin price has recovered, many altcoins haven't recovered yet. Even those who bought Bitcoin at the top in the last bull run, I believe they are almost recovered. If they are still holding, they will be in profit within a couple of months. Bitcoin has given us a costly lesson that holders won't regret. We should take that lesson and keep it in mind for the future. 
someone who knows about bitcoin very well and they also know the reason why it is holding Bitcoin will not be regretted of holding Bitcoin it is someone that does not know the value and also does not know the functions of Bitcoin that will be regretted of holding bitcoin for long time that is why it is good for we to make a proper research towards whatever thing that we are doing whoever that is going to invest in Bitcoin neither long time investment or short-term investment the person will also know the advantages of holding Bitcoin and also the disadvantages of holding Bitcoin for long time.
40  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is more than a currency or security, it's scarcity. on: May 22, 2024, 09:11:45 PM
People have different understanding in Bitcoin that is why you see many people explain bitcoin differently you will see also people who is saying that bitcoin is a scam tea today so what I want us to understand is that the 100 years coming there's some people who will be saying bad about Bitcoin there will be also a set of people who will discourage people not to embrace Bitcoin so from my own understanding someone saying good about Bitcoin it is person that have already make a proper research of Bitcoin and no the values and advantages and the disadvantages of Bitcoin so the journey of Bitcoin is a personalist and it is best on your own conception
