2041  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: June 26, 2023, 09:26:10 PM
I did it many times back when my addiction is very high, I promise not to gamble after I lose a big amount I even swear that I will not, but the following day I'm back even promising to be better and not lose a big amount again.

How many of us are guilty of this?

This happens to me. I have never made a vow to stop gambling all together but I have told my self that I won't gamble for a few days to one week. Most times this happens when I've had too many series of losses or when I've had a big loss.
There is this feeling that I'm missing out on a lot when I decide not to play. Like "what if its this period that I'd win". It is this thought that makes me go back to gambling before the time I was suppose to.
Keeping to self promises like that requires a certain level of discipline. I'm at that point where if I say I don't want to gamble then I wont gamble.
Not only you my friend, it tends to happen to almost everyone who has had a fair share of gambling life and I am also a victim of such vows and at the end of everything I just call it a time of break from gambling and its better that way since I know that its very hard to stop the act but knowing your limit is what every gambler should do to avoid such situation.

Sorry to put it out but this isn’t the right way to go about investment. You can ask people to just send DM and you trust the suggestion of a total stranger which may turn out to be a scammer. I am sure that anyone that would be sending you PM would mostly be someone that would want to promote there shitcoins.

If seriously you’re actually in for investing and then you would need to go through everything yourself and the only cryptocurrency that fits your criteria for retirement investment is bitcoin. But even that needs some knowledge on Its security and the rest. If you are truly interested in investing in them which I doubt from your post then read through the pin charts on the forum or other articles. If you need help ask it by creating a thread and stop asking for people to PM you to avoid something that I am sure would lead to you been scammed
Thats if he is not even the one looking for someone to scam, I like to be optimistic about such person asking for for pm to be given an advice which you can see clearly that the forum is an open source conversation ground and all advice's are given to a users the moment you post a thread asking for help or direction in some areas you actually understand.

I don't know but something tells me that the OP isn't actually looking for an investment means and its just trying to seek attention of volatile users here in the forum.
2043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 25, 2023, 09:09:25 PM
We're living on this world and its era where nobody gives an F to nobody. That's why people do gamble no matter what situation he's in, a gambler will be one. There is a bad result on this one that whether we're a gambler, we'd still remain a gambler and if we've got nothing to gamble anymore, that's where crimes will enter. It's sad that people resort with that option because they've been addicted and that's the reason who's engaged in gambling to protect yourself by having your self control and also by providing yourself. If you can't gamble with any of your money then at least also please don't gamble with others money.
I believe that the issue with addiction is that,  it works inline with our instinct and base on individual frame of mind,  gambling should indeed be done with your own money and also with an amount one can afford to part away with,  this is because,  sometime the outcome of gambling may not be favorable and at that one need to have that self control and limits so that you ain't losing more than you can afford.

So if a gambler already has this frame of mind,  it then means that the next thing is to cave out the amount that will be in proportion to what you intend to spend on a bet,  also avoid borrowing to bet and crime should be avoided.

When one borrows to gamble or commits a crime just to gamble,it means that addiction is what controls that person. Gambling should be done with caution and self-control to avoid addiction. Gambling is done in a free will,no matter that some gamblers abuse gambling and make it look like gambling is for irresponsible or a wayward person.

If you gamble with funds that you can afford to loss,nobody will know that you are gambling because it will not show in your lifestyle. People that allows their gambling life to be seen by other people is because they gamble a lot without reserve.
I know this is advice is the common trend but only a gambler can understand that is easier said than done because gambling comes with some sort of strong spirit attached to and the moment you have lost some fund in the act, the mentality of trying to win back your money always to play in your head and only few person in the world today can actually control this thought.
2044  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: June 25, 2023, 08:50:38 PM
Money is a very powerful tool that can be used to answered all things on earth. Without money there are a lot of good  things in life you can't have access to,  and without money the world doesn't recognize your person that's why every individual person on earth strives so hard to have it. Without money you can not have good health care, good housing condition, better education, almost every good things of life is connected to money that without you can't have it or be it and that's why it looks like money now rules the world.
I personally prefer to call Money does not rule the world. but I prefer to call money as something that is considered the most important and most wanted and needed in the world today. Everyone needs money to buy the things they need. and all work hard to earn money to use as a means by which to buy the things one wants. But yeah, you are free to think of money as anything.
Well I like to think money is actually every thing since  they have simply implemented that  thought in the system of world today, as every one clearly knows without money its basically hard to live your life as money is the core source for us to feed, to house our self and to attain all the basic necessity of life.
2045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on live game or while game hasn't started yet? on: June 25, 2023, 08:22:04 PM
Better on live games its still way risky than actually betting on events and games that haven't started yet. But the facts is that betting on any match is also a risk because no one knows the possible outcome of the  game. Sometimes I have when betting on live games end up being more frustrating than usual because sometimes the moment you place your bet on a match which money line is a 1.50 odds at half time the outcome might eventually change the moment you place the bet.

2049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: June 23, 2023, 07:22:03 PM
I think you can make $100 every day in a casino if your daily deposit is $200. Otherwise, it is impossible to win money regularly and consistently in casinos. If it were possible, this kind of business wouldn't exist. Perhaps there are some forks of gambling where with a certain strategy you can make regular profits, for example from betting on sports or playing poker. But casinos rule out the possibility of making money on a regular basis.

To get $100 every day a minimum deposit of $500 or more is required. You cannot bet $200 and get $100, it is not that simple. The bigger the budget the higer are the chances. Above all you need a strategy everytime you are in the online casino. Without any strategy the chance of win is basically null. A lot of patience and discipline is needed in your lifestyle. Professional gamblers do make money, the sacrifice they do to get that amount is not possible for everyone.
I don't actually think its possible to make 100$ daily even if you go out with big budgets  but its true that the bigger the money the lesser the risk you would take in your bet  but still doesn't close the fact that it all still depends on luck and I can think that big budget stake could actually get you drain out quick.
2050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 22, 2023, 09:08:01 PM
Many people find it difficult to accept who they are and the bad habits that they have, accepting a habit is the first step that will determine if any help offered to you will work. As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
I don’t think being addicted to gambling will make me offend anymore. So what? As long as you are not causing someone’s life into jeopardy then being addicted to gambling will never be a big issue. And the fact that it’s my own funds that I’ve been spending the whole time while gambling so my addiction should never be an issue at all. However, for some beginners who easily fall into gambling addiction might be hard for them to admit that they are gambling addicts, and would want to deny it as much as they can.
You are wright in some way but if your addiction is a very serious one you will end up affecting other people's life no matter how hard you may try to prevent it from happening because you might be done with your funds and decide to borrow from a friend in which you will then loose all the funds and then when its time to pay back you start having issue with your friend over the borrowed money even a veteran in gambling can be affected badly so far as its an addiction case.
2051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 22, 2023, 08:58:52 PM
People are saying that gambling is not good so nobody should involved themselves in it. Fathers/Mothers (parents) are shouting to their sons and sometimes beating them all because of gambling. If you are a gambler, the society sees you as a bad boy or person or a waste person in the family. Parents would be saying "look at your age mates, they are going to school and become a successful persons in the society, you are here playing gambling". They would even say, gamblers steal and thieves.
And really when you look at some of those boys they play Draft game morning till evening. Upon all these allegations against gambling. People are still Gambling. WHY? Is There Any Mystery Behind?
Because they want to, I know this does not seem as a very deep explanation but it is what it is, people do what they desire, so it does not matter if you explain over and over again to them why you think gambling is a bad idea, they are still going to do it if that is what they want, and when it comes to some people the fact that you try to convince them so hard against it will instead act as an incentive, as there is nothing more attractive for those people than to do what is forbidden.
Human being tend to do even do what there are told not to do on more occasions maybe out of curiosity and so on and same thing applies with gambling. Even though we are well aware that in gambling the losses tend to come more we probably prefer still to continue playing just to enjoy those little moment of victory we experience while gambling.
2052  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: June 22, 2023, 08:54:30 PM
As a morally upright person that does not like to cheat people, but gambles and has lost a lot of money to gambling in a casino where you have sometimes been cheated even without your knowledge or betting on sports, will you take an opportunity you get and go against your moral standards to cheat a casino or sportsbetting place, just so you can win big at least even once.

Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out? Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?
Well with all the money I have lost in gambling, I would probably take my chances when I discover a way I can be able to cheat against the house which is probably impossible but if there is a way to turn the table round please let me know. But I have heard of cases where the site of gambling have some kind of malfunctioning error and the gamblers who are aware of this use it to their advantage to win big but I would probably not call it cheating since the fault is from their own end.

Exodus of the 2020-21 CL winners squad commences  Shocked

Seriously, it's quite crazy, here's the list of all Chelsea players who have won the Champions League sold or are going to be sold:
<Snip>

And when you consider how even more of Chelsea players left last season, it goes on to show that Chelsea squad really does have a short turnaround.

The squad size is extremely large, so the club is getting rid of players who have less than a year left on their contracts and those who spend the majority of their time out injured. It appears that only James and Kepa will remain from the 2020 CL winning squad after the ongoing clearance.

It was long overdue; this is the best way to build another competitive team while staying within the FFP with our incomings after spending over €600 million last summer.

After such a disappointing season Chelsea need a serious rebuild anyway, so buying a good coach is not enough, no wonder so many players are leaving the club. The real question is, who will be in their place now?
Am quite sure the new owner of the club is well aware that there previous campaign was nothing to cheer for and that they need serious cleansing in the club in order for them to battle it out for a good finish in their next season campaign, getting a good manager doesn't only cut it good player plus and good management that is what that club need at the moment.

It's Bitcoin trust worthy for investment? Cus have tried many platform but all failed and this my last hope... I was introduced into it.
Those things you did which no one knows failed you doesn't mean bitcoin is also going to fail but that also depends on your definition of failure. Bitcoin is currently the most trust worthy crypto currency and it has proven its worth in different ways in which users tend to go about the use of it especially when it comes to it use an investment means.
2055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching Bitcoin is not do or die on: June 21, 2023, 09:31:39 PM
Learning of bitcoin should be based on interest and not by force. If you try to teach someone about bitcoin and that person is not showing any interest, it is better that you forget about it,and try to talk to someone else who will be interested on it.


I don't know of anybody, but, speaking for myself, I really have no time to Force knowledge on someone who doesn't show interest or who is not ready to learn what I am educating them about. In the past, I tried to teach my nephew a few things about Bitcoin, but although it was a free day for me, I was just thinking of how to happily spend that day with my family. Apart from that, I think it is better to educate people who are in need of education rather than educating people who are not even ready to accept what you are saying. Educating someone about something that doesn't catch their interest is just an absolute waste of time and energy, so I agree with your topic. Most people that I have talked to about Bitcoin were people who really had a big interest in it, and I gave it to only a few of them because the time was not There to educate them all, and I will not have the chance to do that as well. I am thinking of organizing them all for a meeting, but I will arrange it in due time.


Cheers 🥂, Dr.Bitcoin_Strange 👺👺
The show of interest really matters because knowledge of something can't be forced on  anyone even if you want to make a clear statement on how positive the thing might be of good to the person. Since after discovering this forum or should I say library I have always referred those who have a certain interest on bitcoin but are scared of it due to the wrong perception toward the technology to visit the forum so that they can learn properly by themselves as they say experience is the best teacher.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 21, 2023, 09:23:55 PM
The answer to this question is obviously a yes because running a casino is same thing as usuals as a running a business firm and everyone knows that every business can hit a downside and eventually crash if proper management isn't been done on the site. So even if the casino is an old and reputable casino they are still various way in which the casino can fold up and end up bankrupt if  the management is very poor.
2057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 21, 2023, 09:17:54 PM
Seems good for Real Madrid fans because Florentino Perez decision not ended with transfer for this season, I think Madrid still need with new center forward although success signing Joselu from Espanyol. I think Real Madrid need more attractive and experienced center forward like Harry Kane or Mmbappe. Joselu scored 16 goals last season with Espanyol and he can't helped that team relegated to La Liga 2 for next season but seems Joselu is compete for back up with center forward position.

Madrid should brave highest bid for signing Mbappe or Harry Kane, if lower bid seems difficult for signing their target and looks not realistic depend with other team interest want to give higher bid.
Real Madrid signed Joselu on loan for one season. Actually Joselu is not a new face at Real Madrid, he has studied at the Madrid Castilla academy and made his debut for the Real Madrid first team in the 2010/11 La Liga. Real Madrid's decision to sign Joselu was due to a shortage of players up front after losing Karim Benzema, Marco Asensio, Eden Hazard and Mariano Diaz.
Real Madrid is still trying to bring in a new striker with a higher quality to increase the sharpness of the front line. Until now, Real Madrid has been linked with Kylian Mbappe, Lautaro Martinez and Harry Kane. Real Madrid will have to fight hard to get one of them in order to compete with Barcelona in La Liga and other big teams in the Champions League.

I think if they fail to sign any of the top class strikers, it would certainly be a big burden for them to carry because the team will lack alot when it comes to the striking force, just imaging having a player like mbappe or harry Kane to their squad it would definitely boost the confidence of other players just as having benzema did for the  youngster that wants to impress and create a name for themselves. Real Madrid is a big club and losing these set of players can distabilize this team and will indeed affect them if they ever want to win trophies next season.

guys.. i'm the project owner. i have more than enough money in the wallet for months of withdraws. i have been building this site for a year. the project speaks for it's self.

this is how i'm doing it right now. i started this for comments/questions/concerns regarding the site- not how you think i should handle my business. all due respect.
Well your claims need to be backed, maybe for now as the site has just been launched would also advice for you to do some kind of review by member here to clear you on some vital upgrades thats need to be added in other to improve your popularity here and with everything so quick with the launching of the site, it kind of portray some kind of fishy and ulterior motive from the website so gaining reputation by members here reviewing the site will help it growth.
2059  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin gift to wife on wedding. on: June 21, 2023, 08:52:59 PM
She will definitely gonna appreciate it as a gift, if only the next day Bitcoin price grows Smiley But if she will see a price reduction during a good period of time, she might really get disappointed. OP, also think how you will look in father-in-law and mother-in-law eyes, and other guests. If you gonna give your present on public, are you sure everyone gonna understand your gift? If you do it privately, she will tell her parents about that gift anyway. If they are not tech guys, and she is not a tactical person, you will end with a guy who gave a virtual gift... I would better think of a more romantic gift, but later just give half of private key to her.
I don't know why OP wants to gift his wife BTC as a wedding gift because if you ask me with the way his is sounding am pretty sure his wife doesn't know or understand what is bitcoin and its simple logic that people.don't tend to cherish what they have no knowledge about so if I were you I probably just get her a simple and appreciable gift that she would cherish and women always love flashy and material things so getting her some designer stuffs will save the stress of worrying her about bitcoin.
2060  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin - how low will we go in 2023? on: June 21, 2023, 08:45:16 PM

How is everyone else feeling?
If you are still holding, and probably later bought more In the deep, then a big congratulations to you mate, bitcoin is now a little above $30k, I believe this is the second time we are seeing this price this year, this is another prove that every bitcoin dip is an opportunity to buy cus the price will always rise back the highs again.

And for how I am feeling right now, I feel that I am not ready for the coming bull run yet, I need more time to accumulate more bitcoin and maybe some other major  altcoins before the bull run kicks in, I missed 2017/2018, missed 2020/2021, I must not miss this 2023/2024 , I believe the current move up in the price of bitcoin is just a reminder to us that the halving is fast approaching and all should get set for another profitable year in crypto.
Am with you on this my friend, although I don't have any portfolio with on any altcoins as am still trying to gather up some nice stalk of BTC and like you said every dip is actually a major opportunity for me to buy and hodl. This year has been a good year so far compared to last year bloody fiasco with so many saga which affected the market and was kind of blessing too as the price went so low which was exactly pitch perfect for buying.
