There is no two ways about it for,  the sure thing is to cash out along the line and that is what have really worked for me a number of time,  at most we tend to be carried away with the jackpot thing and believe so much on luck to give us 100% winning not knowing that in between the line,  we are also presented with a lot of opportunities to take off so much profits.

I don't know why most gamblers doesn'take much use of that feature,  but then also we cam tell what the profits merging is in total available cash-out,  to be able to tell aether it not, using that feature will be of benefit to is something else.

The ops should have known by now what used to be bitcoin halving preparation and what come after that events,  a lot of time we have seen some few old users who come up with this kind of topics and I can't but to wonder how active the may have been all the while,  because this look and sound like a newbie question to me and for an account that is at full member.

No wonder the accout got banned because it obvious a lot have changed with this account and that has proven the tags already, halving is around the corner and we all are expecting to see some form of price transformers after the halving somewhere around March next year.
2203  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: CBN lifts Forex(FX) restriction on 43 items on: October 16, 2023, 04:13:21 PM
When I first read this circular when it was sent to me by my bank,  one thing that came to my mind was,  why didn't the CBN circular complaints all the names and list of that category that got this forex bailout,  and the sad thing is that this market has been blocked since 2015, this is the result of bad policy from the past CBN governors.

Just like what the immediate CBN did on the issues with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in Nigeria,  he made a hasty decision by blocking banks from carrying out direct bank crypto transactions and this has limited a lot of development in the area of blockchain-based development and digital creation within Nigeria.
2204  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: October 16, 2023, 02:11:11 PM

There's nothing like superstition in anything, what people do is to look for an animal that is more aggressive and offensive to be used in serving for this purpose, on a general form, you can discover that there are cocks that they are being aggressive than the others, same also we have some that are not, this is what you can find out in human as well, and have the high tempered being and many more, selecting a specific livestock species of local breeds could be more suitable in serving for this purpose because they have strong vigour.
Yes one of the first quality of the cock to be used in this kind of fight is the aggressiveness of the animal and their health status because using a gentle dull cock for this game will only amount in your animal getting injured for nothing and you still lose the game at some point also,  although a number of their time,  both animals in the game may give up without reaching the marked line to winning such a game and since there is a local game guideline for this it becomes a necessity to the animals to reach that benchmarks before being allowed to be declared the winner of the game.

I don't see anything like superstitions in this and the game has nothing out of the ordinary to make it native even though the game is played mostly in remote locations.
2205  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Historical Nigerian True-Life Story of a Man Who Lost His Five Sons in One Day on: October 16, 2023, 01:56:30 PM

#COPIED, more interesting Nigerian true-life stories coming.


This na interesting story, i really enjoy am but my say na,  kurunmi fuck up, why em no follow the advise of their gods at that time since em rely on them for directive to no go into war, so every thing wey em stand for na just waste.

So many lessons dey for this story especially the one wey be say no matter how strong wey u be no try to fight full crowd .
You are very correct my brother, but with all honestly, i personally no go talk am point black say na Kurunmi fuck up, because las las, one thing go still surely kill a man, and another thing be say, devil no dey give person something comot eye like God dey do, when devil give person something, him go still colobi eye for the thing dey find way wey him go take collect that thing back in another way.

So wetin i mean with wetin i talk?, i mean say, person wey him time don reach to go, him time don reach be that, and no matter how careful wey that person be, death must surely find way come jam the person, the sad thing for this one matter na say, e take him five sons follow body, and this one na the man pride na him cos am.

But come to think of it, had it been such tradition wey Kurunmi dey defend and fight for still dey exist till now, you think say e go make sense?
I agree with you Fivestar4everMVP my friend,  the thing be like that provarb were them dey talk say,  dog were himm time done reach to lost,  no the follow the owner or hear the owner whistle again,  na the same thing happen to that KURUMI of a guy,  I don't blame him for his decisions and off course the reactions and the result of that actions may have brought his end as the kings and changed a lot of things for his defendants.

But then lesson must be learn and we have to move on at some point,  thanks any ways for this interesting piece and looking forward to reading the next big story from you bless up bro!
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: October 16, 2023, 01:43:36 PM

Even if you are open with this activities but can't stop to gamble then maybe its useless because you are not cooperating that's why you really need to submit yourself to them and follow the recommendation given since you will not get a aid with this addiction if you are still participating on any gambling activities. That's why the only solution here if we already experience the worst is to erase all possible access that can make us remember to gamble and have a vacation on provinces where you don't have a internet access since for sure with this we can escape this addiction and can settle up with new life we already having on. Although its really hard for affected person to adjust but once they are willing to find a solution to help theirselves everything is possible.

Exactly, there's nothing to resolve if you are still attached and even you are recognizing the problem but if you are not submitting yourself and you are not listening and doing what is needed to fix it, then the aid is useless, you need to work with your own self-will admitting is a good beginning but trying to fix it with willingness to submit even how difficult things are, there's always a potential solution if you are open-minded and you are willing to take the hard route just to make sure that you will succeed from your intention to solve the issue that you currently trying to resolve.
The first measure to escape addictions is for the individual involved to first of all make up their mind to walk out and free themselves from the hold of those addictions and also make sure to try as much as possible to follow lay down rules and regulations as set by the helpers for his/her exit from addictions,  this is not only limited to gambling alone,  but all other form addictions,  because for sure we have to make up our mind first,  be for we can really seek external help from others who we may feel and trust to help us out.

One of the biggest challenges to fixing gambling addictions is this self-determination to fix things,  because a lot of time,  we have seen addicts who have been struggling to leave their addictions yet find it is almost impossible to do so,  and if you check them well you do discover that many of them have not really made up their mind to quit gambling and at that will see every effort from close ones for him to quit as being a forced decision on him at some point.

Again you are talking about BFG token Cheesy Like there is nothing else to post here? Why would not you look on BetFury from non-BFG-token point of view?

Guess that is the sentiment of frustrated people towards their holding since they are really disappointed for the performance of BFG token so let them have freedom to express their feelings towards this token since this is valid sentiments and they are posting this on BFG thread. This discussion will subside once they see some growth and there's also exciting events held on their casino so lets be open for other discussion and try to understand people talking about that since its not really stressful especially if those people still have huge BFG balances on their wallet.

If BFG team will just post about some updates or answer questions here maybe we can see less people talking about the token but rather they talk about their experience at their casino.
I won't blame any investor for venting their frustration on the outcome of the BFG tokens and for sure since this isn't the project's official group, this place becomes the right place for them to at least try to seek some answers,  although there have been several calls on the team to at least make some announcement or an update on the progress and plans of the token in the coming months ahead.

It's already a long ride to this point,  and if you have been following up with what is happening in this thread and other social media,  you already know or are aware of the worst state of things for most casino tokens after they dropped significantly in their price.
2208  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I took a proposal to my State Governor to accept Bitcoin Technology on: October 16, 2023, 01:24:22 PM
Wow that's great op. That's a big job and it's very admirable to do that. The topic of Bitcoin has now spread worldwide and many people are optimistic about Bitcoin. And Bitcoin has become a much easier payment medium for the youth. Because various restrictions, limitations, liabilities in the banking sector are becoming a major reason for youths to become more focused on Bitcoin. So the work you have done is really appreciable.

To be completely honest, the action performed by Op is outstanding. Is there any new information regarding the action OP took at this time? Is there anything constructive the OP can think of to put his suggestion about the Bitcoin or cryptocurrency market he is currently a part of into practice?

Is there a set day or month when it will be implemented for the citizens of the OP's nation? Because of the good growth in adoption of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies that will occur if that is implemented.

Indeed ops have gained a lot of commendations for this sigler actions,  and many of us have been waiting for the next up dates from the ops to know what the current developments are and how we as a community can engage in this discussions professionally,  I know this thread is going to turn into a big discussions just like what we have with the El Salvador Bitcoin adoption thread also in this board.

Since this have to do with government and bitcoin adoption,  the topic have gone beyond just a discussion but have transformed into something bigger,  with soon-to-be more documents to support the claims,  I hope the ops get back to this thread soon with new updates on this development.
2209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about trading feature? on: October 16, 2023, 01:16:22 PM
Gambling sites like Bc.game and Rollbit now include trading feature in their casinos. In this game we need to predict small fluctuations in price over a short period of time.
This is became my favorite game. What do you think of this game?
Do you think this game gives us some advantage/edge to casino? Because most of the time, prices tend to Follow a repeating pattern like Up-Down Up-Down in a range.
You mean currency speculations?

Because seeing the title of gambling trading feature is new and something that we have not really had any successful projects that can combine both in one place,  this is because both casino and exchange are two different services that their operations are widely opposites each other and can be hard or almost impossible to combine the two.

But from your explanation,  what you describe is still gambling as long as you are just taking part in the coin price predictions,  and not engaging in those coin exchanges at some point let's say we have some level of freedom to speculate the directions the price of that coin we go and it works in our favour,  you win.

2026 is a long time from now,  and I guest your coin would have been dead by then or being the next bitcoin as you speculated,  but I am sure that a lot of things will happen in the market that will effect the piece of Bitcoin in a multiple ways before the year 2026 but then also we may still fine some alleges distraction from the market,  and this could also affect the price of bitcoin or any other assets in bitcoin.
2211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 16, 2023, 12:11:25 PM

most probably, these gamblers have one way or another experienced addiction at one point in their lives. but people have their own approach in addressing their addiction. so some got out successfully, and learned to manage their gambling activities to their own advantage.
whereas, a lot are still struggling to get out from their holes owed to their financial troubles. if you won't address your gambling situation, you will absolutely give yourself a desperate life.

The gambler who play for the longer period already get addicted to the gambling,So the gambler who had their continuous game,the other players seems this like the gambler as the gambling addicted person.But some gamble will play for the longer period to understand the game at the beginning stage.But the gambling addicted person had some advantage of predict the game by the use of their gambling addiction.Some successful gambler should try to teach the less experienced gambler and become the parent of the gambler winning by sharing your experience to the gambler win to the new game.
The fact that,  no matter what the level of your self discipline,  as long as you gamble excessively,  you are already an addict,  the only difference between the so called successful and the cure addicts who become overly indebted die to they non controlled gambling and spending that make them ruin in the first place and the only differences between both is that the successful gambler have money to sponsor his addictions.

Unlike normal addicts who may have become broke due to the fact that they borrowed and have spent family savings on gambling and may be in the financial worst positions,  so this is what differentiates the two characters from each other.

This forum is very useful for everyone who has joined as a member here especially for the crypto industry and also online gambling on cryptocurrency basis.
There is no doubt the fact that bitcointalk forum has been the best place to gain verse knowledge on a lot of things and also most things that I have learned in gambling were all from this forum,  member of the forum have helped share their personal experiences in the comments and also have shown us some other sources where to learn one or two things as far as gambling os concerns and this is really great to be part of this movement.

Being a member of this forum have helped me a whole lot to escape a lot of things that could have possibly resulted in scam sometimes,  but with the knowledge I built from this forum,  I could easily detect such attempted scams at such.
2213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: October 16, 2023, 07:13:02 AM
I admire the countries that ban minors from gambling and the countries that also ban the use of credit cards in casinos. Because of these governments, you can see their true concern for the people and what will happen if they violate their prohibitions.

From any angle, it is not good to see that a child is gambling. We know that gambling usually does not really bring anything good to the majority, although I do not. All that is needed is to be wise in the decisions we make. Just gamble based on being able to triple the amount in any casino.

The government already guideline the gambling site to fix the age for the gambler,because many kids get into the gambling and loss their school fee by hiding their parents.If the kids win the game,it may help them to support their studies in the next level.But the loss due to the less experience in the gambling the kids was loss their money in the gambling.So the gambling sites also enable the kyc for all the participation will help the less age kids to elimated at the beginning stage of the gambling.The kids who use the id of their parents will can’t be find by the gambling sites,but it’s very negligible in number.
Just like Alchohol consumption which have an age limit for consuming it,  same it is with gambling many all the countries that approve for it gambling license have all followed to minimum age requirement needed to be able to gamble,  but just like every other government regulation and law,  there is always a problem of follow up with implementations and at that you must have to discover and follow the right part yourself and being able to protect yourself from becoming worst while gambling so for that you need to place your own limit even if and when the government already place such limits.

Most of the time,  some gamblers still went ahead to default in the age attainment before gambling and this has led them to a lot of problems both in online casinos and physical casinos but mostly online casinos since there is no mechanism to check whether or not the gambler is above 18 at the point of registration and the only way to confirm the age are through KYC which doesn't happen all the time.
2214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best Practices for Staying Safe When Gambling on: October 16, 2023, 06:27:35 AM
Best practice is to never go against your wishes, use the money you can afford for gambling, don't be too greedy for high win, learn to minimize risk, calm down and be patient with hile gambling and don't always push too forward being overconfidence whenever you are gambling, some people do bet because of the odds provided even though they aren't good at that particular sport betting, but because of the odd, they got attracted to giving a try, some losses were just from our personal gambling weakness.
It's obviously not a wise idea to bet on sports you don't know anything about even if you see that the odds are in the favor of the side you choose. Still, the results can always go against you because there can be things that you must know about the sport or the teams before you place your bet like maybe a player that has a big influence on the overall team isn't playing in that particular game. The odds makers didn't consider that fact when deciding the odds.

That's why, it's important for a sports bettor to have complete knowledge about a sport before they start making bets on it, and one should also know the teams and the players playing on that day so that they don't make a wrong choice and lose. It isn't a problem if the bet amount is low but if you are betting big, you will need to be careful with everything.
Sometimes,  I bet on clubs I don't know anything about them but in doing so,  I will only rely on two things,  which are my gots and luck at the same time,  and I only will bet on already playing games such as live games that I see have the best chances of ending with their current scores,  this way I just chose the team that I believe ha e a stronger chances of winning the game and then bet on them,  although I also do games analysis which is the best approach to sport beating,  that this will only work on pre matches selections.

Having general knowledge about football l or an in-depth analysis of the teams is a sure way to play safe while betting on sport,  but since we know how very unpredictable football matches can be,  this makes us also to rely so much on luck to win our bet in most times.
2215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Poker coming to stake.com in the near future ! on: October 15, 2023, 11:25:46 PM
After a long silence about poker on stake we just got a little update on stream.

Some person asked in chat what's happening and Eddie said poker will first come to stake.us "very soon" as yet another "social experience", funny how they are still trying to frame it as a "social casino" .

If the test run on the us site turns successful they will also offer it at .com, so that are interesting news for people who want to use their poker skills on stake in the future.
If the software will actually worth be anything is a different story.

Good update i must say, i personally have never played poker before, and neither do i know how to play it, but i do have friends who are really into the game, and in the area where i live, one will have to travel several miles to find a physical casino where they can play poker, since the online casinos that offer the game is very limited.

The news of the game coming to stake is a good one sincerely, and since they have chosen to test it on the us version of the site for now, all i can hope is that all goes well as they expect, so that they can also get the game listed on the main stake .com site, i possibly may learn to play through my friends if they get the game integrated on the main site.
Poker is a global game and integrating it into Stake will boost their traffic level because poker is an internationally known game and among the most referenced casino games,  I don't know what the main reason for the special attention to poker games

But then also we have to encourage more poker tournaments we have some food managers and organizers here also, so this will help a lot and I believe this could be in the pipeline for the long term.
2216  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: October 15, 2023, 11:20:57 PM
There is a legal age for gambling, and many more rules and regulations are there, but in reality, should the government take serious action against it? And the laws are so strong that underage people are not going to gamble. Each country's laws and order change, but I am sure every country is trying to set a certain age bar for gambling to protect youngsters. They are starting it out of curiosity, and maybe soon it will become an addiction. So these rules should be strong enough, and awareness should be given properly. And also create some special team for supervising this area to make sure everything is going accordingly.

The age factor is the important one in the gambling because of the children get into the violence for the money need after the gambling addition.Some children who involved in the gambling may not get the continuous money supply from their parents or from their pocket money.So they start to do the taking the money money from their parents pocket without their knowledge.Since the children had access to their parents credit cards,they also use their credit cards to play the game by the gambling addiction.So the children below 18 should not be allowed by the gambling site and many trusted gambling sites follow the age factor.
Unfortunately, several online casinos today only have it in their terms of service that underaged gamblers are prohibited from playing on their site, but it actually ends there as they don't take further steps to make sure they do not entertain underaged gamblers.
There are several underaged gamblers today who secretly use their parents of their elder sibling's government issued documents to verify their gambling accounts without the knowledge of the casino, most especially on casinos that do not engage their customers in video or live verifications.

And in terms of the above, i will not completely blame the casino, Parents and teachers at school have their different roles to play in the upbringing of this kids, if parents give their kids good attention as required, such kid will not end up gambling while underaged.

So, this is my advice to parents to look after their wards, be interested in whatever they are interested in and teach them what is right to do for their age and what is not right, this will save parents the stress of trying to get their ward out of gambling after they have become addicted.


Let me tell you something, even though online casinos may not have any system in place to check the actual date of births of those who create accounts on their casino unless they conduct a KYC which is something that not all casinos take into consideration unless in the case of suspension or operating above stated limits and maximums.

This has made it clear to all on the need to have attained the minimum age requirement to create an account on any casino, because sometimes some of those who engage in this kind of thing,  also make the mistake of crying out tomorrow if they become unable to get their account verify when KYC may be demanded for,  due to this caught in between,  we have to make sure that we always come clean before we think of creating an account and meeting the minimum age requirement is to the gambler's advantage.

Sounds very interesting, but what will happen when bitcoin fees start to go super high again in next bull run?
Minute payout can turn into hour or days payout very easy on mainnet.

Thats out of my control. But you will have a transaction ID in a minute. We do have two withdrawal options, Slow and Fast. The fast fee is calculated by two block confirmations. So during those times of high fees, you'll just have to pay more and you'll get your money in 10-20 minutes.

Well, I think that's a really amazing feature which will work really well during network congestion times. With high fees the users will get priority withdrawals and soon they'll get their Bitcoin into their wallets. The network congestion isn't an internal issue of L0tt0 but still the high fees is a great option during such times for priority withdrawals. I believe that high-rollers might use that feature even if the network is stable as they want to receive their money as soon as possible.
I guess this is not too different from the manual transaction fees bursting when there be traffic congestion in some instance when the networks become highly congested to the point of not letting transaction with lower fees not to get confirmations and also possibly being able to keep in touch to accomplish the success status of that transactions,  so those made relying on high fees to get the transaction through becoming the only option left.

Well, having such a feature on a casino will really help a whole lot and in the long run, when we have such issues with the network, these casino players will have other options to operate with just a few fee increases.

Real Madrid great stars before Ronaldo has played El Classico and it has been a competition between these two clubs since. But what made Ronaldo and Messi period more interesting is that the two are both superstars at the same time and they are rivals to one another in clubs that are also rivals too. So it made it more interesting, and another thing is that, these two players have their own separate fans that prefer one to the other. These two players were also adding a lot of effort to make sure that their club is the best, and competition between themselves.

That is how great time can be if you have the right men on the teams,  what make football more interesting is the fact that the presence of strong contending team,  and that is why the extra time and the penalties are there to use to settle such incidence of two strong opponent,  when Reall Madrid hard the right players on board in the last couple of seasons back,  their games where up to touch and always strongly contending with a lot of winnings even though sometimes,  there are few records of loses also which is what football is all about.

El Classico is also a strong team who have done well previously and has also been able to set up a formidable team when they had the best hand on the ground a few seasons back,  both clubs have similar histories but let's see how their features will be.
2219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: October 15, 2023, 09:31:08 PM
Lotteries are indeed probabilistic in nature. There is ideally no guarantee and one of the biggest motivators is the evidence of one who has won and then the dream of winning sets in.

Often times people tend to dream beyond the point of seen evidence and imagined even more, this makes them damn whatever probability exists and face the possibility, when the equation is actually on the reverse.

We also cannot overemphasize the need for people to know that probabilistic systems involve a high degree of quantitative information and high degree of uncertainty.

Gambling on lottery or sports are all the same and we should consider them as both luck based and we even have a higher chance of football bets more than we have in the lottery due to the possibility to easily analyze football games than we do have in the lottery since with lottery what and all we have is just the number and our luck to win,  but football bets is not the same and some times we have and made accurate predictions based on our analysis of the team previous games.

Why some people still prefer the lottery winning to other gambling winning because of the possible total amount,  some lotteries can transform the ticket holders' lives overnight and the reason why many still go for the lottery such as the American Lottery and the rest.
