I usually advice people, to invest what they are afford to loss. it doesn't matter how much you have, as a beginner you can start with a little investment and try to understand how the network works. as time goes on, you can continue to increase your capital.the most important thing to understand before going into investment is how to secure your asset, protecting them against scam or loss. if you have a good idea about this, you can decided to invest what ever you have.
everyone who is into cryptocurrency investment supposed have known that is supposed to invest what we can afford to lose, meaning that with cryptocurrency investment you can make a profit and you equal loss and when you loss you don't to be depressed, so it's encouraging for someone to invest with its spare money not the money that sustained him or she, so we should be try to understand the basics concept of investment and know the amount of money we can invest in cryptocurrency and when lose it and it will not be painful to us, mostly we that knows the implications of investment.

A gambler becomes so addicted that he decides to steal from his home. Although this matter is very difficult for that family but I want to share here with everyone that I heard from a father tomorrow about his child. How sad is that father who earns hard all day and takes money for his children just to keep them well. But when a child becomes most addicted to gambling, he steals his father's hard earned money and starts gambling in his own home. I heard this story from a father yesterday that his son steals money from home if he is not at home then whatever plan he makes steals his money and takes it to gamble it is a very sad story.  How sad it is that the father is telling people about his child's gambling with such sadness. So baboon how much the person has become addicted to gambling that he steals money from his family and gambles and loses. I only shared this incident here because a family must be most aware of their child or else they will surely become addicted to gambling like this person. Every family has a responsibility to keep their children well, so everyone must always attract your children to the good side so that they don't get into gambling dens.
that is why some people always Lament that we don't need to borrow money from gambling and the our children who is not up to 20 years is not supposed to be a part of gambling meaning that they can be easily been addicted in gambling because they don't know the power of gambling and also the disadvantages of gambling it is when they know they advantages and the disadvantages of gambling they will like to be exempted in gambling but when they don't know addicted in gambling and that is why some of our children or some people who is into gambling when the Lack money to gamble they involve is stealing so that is why it's not good for someone who is not up to age to involve itself in gambling

If we are new to gambling, excitement is really what we feel but as time goes by, it is not fun anymore. As we can see, more gamblers are committing debts/loans, more gamblers are in the chase of their losses, and more gamblers become addicted and change their behavior. Excitement is not a bad thing to happen to us but what goes wrong is when we can't control our feelings anymore as this will lead to spending more time which is a common factor of addiction.

I'd reached that point a few years ago but I see the results were not good and changed my gambling habit. Maybe I can't control my gambling habit, I was certain the worst thing happened to me now (addiction).
do you know the reason why some people today is a debtor because of gambling it is because they have not Known the strategies of gambling instead of them to gamble with the little they have they wish to gamble with a bigger amount of money and it is not really advisable for a gambler to borrow money to gamble two things are into gambling when you borrow money to gamble you might lose the gambling because you are not sure of winning and you are not also sure of losing and then when you lose in gambling you feel like to gamble again hoping that you win for the second time so that is why some people continue to be a debtor in gambling

The match between Chelsea and Manchester United,  the place I wwnt to cut my hair many people in that place began to say that Chelsea will draw the match and some others were saying that Manchester United will win Chelsea,  the funny thing is that none is saying that Chelsea will defeat Manchester United, they are saying that Chelsea will neither draw the match or Manchester United defeat them, it because of this match I stake twelve thousand naira but in dollars is $10 that Chelsea will win the match, do you know that I did not take it to heart and on me I feel that Manchester United will the match base on different prediction was pointing at Manchester but Chelsea defeated Manchester at die minutes, its today I believe gambling that when you stake in gambling remove your mind on it.
226  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: April 04, 2024, 09:51:27 PM
The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.
it is not everyone that likely be addicted in gambling because they know the implication of being addicted in gambling that is why many people don't like to involve themselves into gambling based on the no the advantages and the disadvantages of gambling and then when you know the disadvantages and they advantages of gambling you will not like to be addicted knowing that when you are addicted in gambling it is your own resources there will be going for gambling why you will not benefit anything and you benefiting from gambling will be by opportunity or by chance

I am a small investor. I have some money to invest. How can I invest this money?
The question is that which investment is in your mind, offline investment or online investment, because I know very well that before your instinct is telling you that you should invest that means you want to invest in online and that should be probably be cryptocurrency investment,  if a cryptocurrency investment is something that is in your mind I will say that you should have a different portfolio and make sure that your investment will be on a good coins that have a good records because when you invest without knowing the coin you will end regretting, this statement I made now I have seen it severally to people this forum saying same.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: April 03, 2024, 11:09:57 PM
But the deep inside of gamblers is stingy and calculating, losing money should have a meaning, instead of being random and have no purpose to entrust it like that, surely there are other goals, apart from basic pleasure, the reality is that there is nothing more fun than living in a pile of money that we just need a few gentle nudges and withdrawals. Finally, gamblers also live with the mindset of making money, they lose money but are still happy with the thought of dreaming of earning another amount of money later, perhaps losing money is to maintain the joy of hope
Someone who gambles will of course try to be able to place their bet and be able to win that bet and very few of them bet just for fun, but everyone who bets of course has different reasons from others, there are some people who gamble with the hope of winning of course they will feel sad when they lose because they have high hopes of being able to win their bet but those who gamble for fun of course they only enjoy the game they placed their bet on and if they win it will of course make them happy and when they lose they don't think too much about it.
I will agree that we have different mindset of gambling but out of hundreds participants of gamblers it's few of the gamblers that doesn't gamble because of money, and when you check in this forum you will also notice that many people in the forum it's few person's that know quite well that they gamble to catch fun, but majority out of hundreds percent is gambling to enrich themselves through gambling,  do you know that most of us who is a gambler our intension and mindset is different and mainly our mindset is to make money through gambling not to catch fun, I disagree with some people whose gambling and said they were catching fun.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 03, 2024, 10:59:07 PM
Usually I don't involve myself in gambling when I'm hungry because at that time I'm mentally tired and don't pay much attention to the gambling bet.
When I am physically tired and ill I refrain myself from gambling completely and I do not participate in gambling until my body recovers.
I abstain from gambling completely when I am intoxicated and I participate in gambling when the effects of the intoxication wear off. An addicted gambler is never able to focus deeply on gambling and thus the chances of gambling losses are higher than profits.
What you are doing is right, other gamblers should learn like you, at least know when is the right time to gamble, let alone know when it is time to stop gambling, this will definitely have a good impact while gambling because you will not go beyond the limits of gambling with awareness. being full without feeling sleepy, tired or under the influence of alcohol is clearly a wrong way to force gambling under the influence that makes us unconscious when gambling, the most important thing when gambling is full awareness.

When someone experiences full awareness when gambling, at least he can still control himself so as not to become addicted to gambling, because in most cases we have heard and encountered on this forum there are gamblers who lose a lot of money because they are under the influence of alcohol or sleepy, that is clearly a mistake that will harming ourselves, I think all gamblers understand this very well, don't force yourself to gamble in an unconscious state and also at the wrong time, sometimes we need to set a comfortable time to gamble and it is important to gamble with a feeling of comfort and calm.  Wink

Learning at the right time when to play will be a very good option for us to apply, it would be when we have total and complete confidence in how to do things well, for example I have a lot of energy in the mornings, and I think that would be my best time to play, other people are very active at night, and that could be the main time to play, but you have to see Things that way, not in another way, because playing when you are uncomfortable or when you feel hot, or are If the opponent has Problems, I think that there we could lose a lot of money and everything will be worse, so it is better to look for the place where we feel more comfortable to play, because the idea is to win, even if it is little, if we lose all the money we will not It's doing nothing, and I'm not a millionaire to lose that much money.
someone will not know best time to gamble because gambling is not something you will learn base on skills, so gambling evenings and mornings have different ways and note that gambling is all about luck and opportunity when you don't have opportunity in gambling you will not be able to win gambling,  what we should be emphasising on right now is to minimise the money we use in playing gambling knowing that gambling is all about opportunity not by what we practice most, what we practice most and give us an insight of wining gambling should be trading, not as gambling we know that is unpredictable

Hi everyone,

One of the common mistakes in the world of gambling now is that some people run to make quick money and are greedy by betting all their money and trying to make gambling their primary source of income. You find them spending hours in casinos and sites, regardless of their losses, trying to make up for it, and this is what often leads to more Of the losses that may lead them to bankruptcy, and there are also those who make betting the only means of entertainment and spending their  free time, even though they do not care about the size of their losses, they ignore the consequences, as the enthusiasm they find while playing will decrease with the passage of time and the matter will become tasteless..

Do not make gambling your only source of income or your only means of entertainment, as this will eliminate the first goal of gambling, which is pleasure.
the beginning of someone who is trying to uplift itself to fall to scratches is when you have noticed gambling and also think that gambling will be the best option that to survive, actually when you noticed a gambling newly you will think that gambling will give you whatever you want on earth, but in norms gambling will not give you what you wanted, a gambling is something we engage ourselves into with better understanding and strategies so we will not use all our income to gamble, some people does not have weekly and monthly strategies or statistics to gamble it will really affect you.
231  Other / Off-topic / Re: The challenges of protecting children from gambling on: April 03, 2024, 10:22:41 PM
Gambling is definitely not good for children, that is why there is age limitation in virtually all casinos. Unfortunately, children are becoming too smart and inquisitive, so I was just thinking about the possibilities of protecting children from getting involved in gambling. My worries was increased by the fact that there are physical casinos and betting shops(as they are called in my town) in many streets with big signboards. Children passes these places and some parents do stop by with their children to place a quick bet. Is there anything that can be done to protect children from gambling with reference to physical shops that they see everyday?
Gambling is not really good for children because they don't have their own personal money to gamble, and secondly when you are a gambler you should not allow your children to know exactly the protocols of gambling when they are not up to twenty years because if they start gambling at tender age that will lead them to stealing, gambling is directly meant for someone who is already working and earning like monthly or weekly, not someone who is feeding under the parents, its an independent person that have the full rights to gamble because when the gambling is against him or her it will be the one that will carry the cross alone.
232  Other / Off-topic / Re: Can family members help a gambling addict? on: April 01, 2024, 11:58:55 PM
Many people are going through gambling addiction but they manage to keep it a secret from their families and loved ones. The only people that know about their gambling activities are their close friends. In the event that you are one of those close friend to a gambling addict, do you think it is right to tell their loved ones with the intention that they will be able to talk to him and help him overcome his addiction? Can the advice of loved ones even help? What is the most effective way of going about gambling addiction.

Another aspect to remember is that gambling addiction is a complicated subject, and it is not always simple for the person suffering from it to identify that they have a problem. So, even if you tell your buddy about the issues you have, they may not be ready to hear them or acknowledge the situation. That may be very frustrating, and it's crucial to be patient and not take it individually if they're not ready to hear what you have to say. Even if your buddy admits they have a problem, it's still conceivable that they will relapse. Gambling addiction, like any other addiction, is typically accompanied by a lengthy and tough rehabilitation process.
we saying we are discussing of gambling addition and the what are they causes of gambling addition that is the major problem that we supposed to ask ourselves, problem of being addicted in gambling is because of lack of financial capacity of financial probability so when you have a finance I don't think that you will engage most of your time in gambling it is people who does not have much money that is being addicted in gambling because they are seeing gambling as a source of generating income to their family and that's why they are addicted in gambling.

The people who says that bitcoin is a scam you the people that does not know the fundamental of Bitcoin beside the government has been criticizing a bitcoin right from time but yet bitcoin is still in existence so people who does not know the welfare of Bitcoin is people that condemn Bitcoin so from my view of understanding Bitcoin it is quite right that bitcoin is something that has to do with technology and it might happen tomorrow what will supercedes bitcoin will come out, so therefore bitcoin is a technology that has no effect on government and its not a scam.
236  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 30, 2024, 06:13:48 PM
I think it is always about awareness and preparation. A newbie should first understand the risks on what he/she is entering into if he plans to do gambling. Sure, there may be high expectations and dreams of winning the jackpot (who wouldn't think of that?) but they must still be realistic and grounded.

If a newbie is well-versed on the risks that he is about to experience, then they would be able to understand at least the core of gambling- which is luck. At the end of the day, they should definitely experience both winning and losing in order to fully grasp on what they are dealing with.

Addicted in gambling it's not good because is something that will consume your monthly and weekly income when you so we have to have a statistics whenever we are gambling so that we cannot spend much in gambling some people are lucky in winning gambling but the problem is that not everybody that is addicted in gambling is a beneficiary to gambling so we have to understand that and also have a limitation of the kind of gambling, try to minimize the way we gamble because being addicted in gambling will make you to lose the one you can benefit from gambling

I mean, yes what you said is correct but this also applies into any kind of addiction.

It is all about managing your expectations and understanding the risk profile of gambling. Additionally, it is helpful also that before a newbie attempts to gamble, he/she should at least have a companion to continuously remind them to STOP and to re-evaluate the situation.

Gambling is not all about winning since losing is as important also. Sure, winning in gambling yields you money; but losing in gambling yields you experience and re-evaluation of understanding its reality that a bet could go into two (2) ways: either you win or you lose.
Do you know the problem we have today it is because many people do see gambling as a what is not right because of the impact of disadvantages is the higher than the advantages aspect of it, it is you as a gambler that have the Ultimate right to quit from gambling because you know what you have benefiting and you also know what you are not benefiting from gambling that is why it is very understanding and the reasonable for you to have a book record in our gambling to know the statistics of what we have achieved in gambling and they also know what we have not achieved in gambling when you have that record you will know if you are making well in gambling or not and that we determine if you will stop gambling or not so do not allow someone to decide to you on gambling because it is a race and a personal interest
237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: March 30, 2024, 06:09:57 PM
I was born in a secular family. I have never felt any religious pressure in my life. In my opinion, people can gamble without harming others or themselves. Religions have made rules like this in the past to prevent people from harming themselves and others. In my opinion, religions are a law book for their time. But in today's world, we have our laws. That's why gambling is legal in most parts of the world. If you don't harm yourself or anyone else when you gamble, I don't think God is bothered about it.

religion cannot stop us not to participate in gambling except that you are in someone who listen to your parents based on religional activities but a normal circumstances it is all over everywhere every government is aware of gambling and the Mostly many people Across The Nation have also make law concerning gambling it is a government that will determine if you will gamble in a country or not it is not a religion because when a law is being passed to the Country everyone living in that country really abide in that law so I'm on opinion that religion don't have any impact to control a gambling or stop anyone to gamble it is a personal decision how to make you to disassociate yourself from gambling

Have you people notice that Chelsea formation in this match between Chelsea and Burnley, so I believe that what is problem of Chelsea is the coach, by right Chelsea suppose to defeat Burnley in this match because Vincent Kompany received red card for the half and the still they could not defeat Burnley, the first goal with penalty and by right they suppose to protect the first goal by playing a defensive game, even when Burnley equalise the match to be 1:1 and they score again to be 2:1, everyone taught that Chelsea have defeated Burnley but they could not defend the second goal. So the problem is the players, I think they need keeper and more players.

Bitcoin can be the light as well as Bitcoin can become the darkest wildest nightmare. For an average Joe Bitcoin will definitely look like must have but they should be prepared about everything before buying their Bitcoin and only people who did that can withstand the bear season as well as the scammers and hackers who always waiting for the opportunity to steal money.
the only thing that I have to tell you is that in Bitcoin what you need most in Bitcoin is research make sure that you have research very well for buying Bitcoin especially knowing the chat of Bitcoin some people does not know the chat and that is why they are unable to interpret the moment of candlesticks of Bitcoin so many people today is a victim of Bitcoin because there does not know the Foundation of Bitcoin and the the market standard of Bitcoin before them purchase Bitcoin for both long time investment and the short time investment it is better to make a proper investigation or a proper research before you buy bitcoin so that you will not be a victim of Bitcoin when the price reduces in the market
