Bet has always been one of the aim of any competition, almost every sportsman is involved in the act. The top officials in football, stake bets, and influential people in the governing bodies of the sports can manipulate the outcome of a game because of greed and to secure wealth. A person that stakes 1 million dollar for a single game would by any means try to win the game. Sometimes, I doubt the VAR technology, these days a lot of goals are being cancelled, which kills the joy of watching football. Quite true, it's always an offside, but before the VAR was initiated not all of these were seen, then, in the past, people enjoyed watching football. For instance, the PSG and Bayern munich goal scored by Mbappe that was later cancelled, that would have been considered a goal without the VAR as it was unnoticed, so these techs can be used to rig games and it can't be questioned. On the other side, these players are professionals and they've mastered the way football works, they can decide to kick a ball on the goal bar or pole, spectators would consider it a mistake, but the player purposefully kicked the ball on the pole. Hence, it will be difficult not to experience this in football or other games, the gambling niche controls a huge aspect of sports. And the bodies who run the gambling companies are the underworld family bosses, so we should expect the unexpected.

It's everywhere that the merits system removed a great number of spammers from the forum. And I'm asking if people were spamming the forum to rank up or make money through bounties? Because I don't understand how they all disappeared right after the initiation of the merit system. I think the ban on spam accounts drastically reduced such people from using the forum. Moreover, they can farm accounts and merit their alt accounts to support their activities if they were concerned about merits, since accounts with many posts were rewarded with appropriate merits, according to their rank. Looking at the drop in posts after 2018 I'd say that coupled with the above listed ico and bounty hunters, I noticed that some threads in the service sections were abused and bumped multiple times a day without any punishment or sanctions. The spam bursters helped alot in keeping the forum neat and reducing the numerous spam posts, which amounted to over 15m posts in 2018.

You have a nice advise for everyone, but letting things flow has its limitations. Some things may insist to get solved on it's own, like in the activities of this forum. If a newbie is calm and reads the forum without being creative with their writing they may not get merited by members. I think with the last sentences of your thread being implemented by a newbie that wish to climb the ranking lather they can easily get there. That is when the merits will start flowing.

I think it's the OP's duty to go look for what she needs, I'm here to share Ideas with her and there's nothing deceitful or cunning about the decision I shared, I spend so much time on twitter, I've found more than 3 influencers that look 90% positive for what OP needs, https://twitter.com/BitcoinDesigns they sell physical designs of bitcoin; auctions. Op just need to invest more time and seek for help. https://twitter.com/btcArtGallery they repost bitcoin arts for users on twitter and lots more. Everything is not being paid, the problem is that people look for fast reactions that's why they can't settle down to wait for the free influencers to get to them. Like I said, it's difficult to get their attention, definitely Op would find one or two that would repost her work. Through the friends or followers of the two accounts I just shared, she can start her journey on twitter, and I promise her they'll be positive impact if she takes it serious. I'm not meant to go look for links for her.


N/B: OP Always open up to them about the situation you have, they're humans and could get emotional too, lastly don't take their help for granted. People already complained about how deceitful your auction ended in the forum, if you continue that way people would regret offering help to you. Goodluck.

It's always important to know what is best for us in this cryptocurrency market. If a person uses all the money they've got for investment, such a person doesn't understand a bit about how the market works. Taking loans can work if the person won't be hurried to pay back the loan that is investing long term. Unfortunately, not everybody got the information or understand cryptocurrency, they were carried away by the profits others boosts of making in cryptocurrency. People keep making same mistakes and they refuse to learn.

I've been wondering how a service like that would be free, went through the site, and found a subscription for members on their terms of service section, though I didn't sign up. however it's a nice service and they could get lots of people who are interested in what they've got to offer, but people in this forum can easily ask their questions here and get free advice on the forum. Since compulsive gamblers don't seek for help how do they intend to attract them towards getting the help they offer?.

I've seen accross Twitter some influencers with millions of followers that voluntarily offer free sponsored tweets to people like her especially crypto influencers who are not just there for advert purposes; they trade or write. These people can listen to her and help publicize the arts she has got. But, it's rare to get their attention immediately. However, she needs a twitter page to share the art too, and use hashtags to draw people's attention. Probably, you are referring to the promotion kind of influencers they won't post it free as it's their business and source of earning. She just need to test every angle, one out of them could be beneficial to solving her problem.

Psg didn't invest enough effort on Bayern yesterday, their game was not as interesting as people expected. Even the cancelled PSG goal looked like a genuine goal, yet, personally, I didn't want a draw because they dulled the impression I had about them before the game began. Having superstar squads like Messi and Neymar, is superb, but utilizing them the right way matters, I don't see why Mbappe didn't play the first half, they were opportunities psg lost during the first half that Mbappe wouldn't have missed if he started the game. The player that replaced Mbappe lacked speed which caused some passes to go back to the Bayern team. I loved the playing charisma bayern played with yesterday and it melted down the energy of PSG players. Hoping to see what happens on their return game. I was wondering if Messi would have scored the goal that led to the red card given to Pavard.

The best method to identify a scam project is by checking their website on scam review sites, which shows the possibility that the site can be a scam. Also check if they've been listed on exchanges and their performances within the last few years or months of the project's existence. Watch their social media handles, followers often drop comments relating to how good or bad the project has been to them, especially on Reddit, ask question about the project on reddit or quora. These processes may look tedious, but they're more important than losing your money, that's why everyone is advised to do their research before investing on any project to avoid blaming anybody.

Is the forum the only place you have this donation posted? they are other bitcoin communities including this forum where people can throw funds to help you bounce back to your work. What matters is the samples you have provided and the proofs of owning and learning these fantastic arts. Hit up some influencers on twitter to share your work and aswell go for bitcoin reddit groups to boost visibility. Keep trying and stay active on the different communities things could change for good, and people will start helping out. Unless you want to stick only on bitcointalk then it's your decision, but don't underestimate other communities in times of trial.

Most of the things we worry about 99 percent of the times don't happen, OP and everyone else should take the necessary precautions of securing their bitcoin rather than worrying about getting beaten up by thieves. It's a weird thought and could lead to unnecessary panic even when nobody has the intention of attacking us. Separating his bitcoin in different locations can help in situations like emergency, offering his loved ones help when on vacation or traveled for something else they can be instructed to access the little amount of bitcoin kept in the room to solve a money related problem till he is back. Things like that can help ease the mind instead of worrying about fire and floods.

Since it requires intense supervision to notice the mistake then it's not much a problem. People have been using the bitcoin logo without complaining, so the slight error is not enough to raise an alarm. Interesting how anything about bitcoin make it to the news blogs. Between I thought bitboy is same with the popular youtuber bitboy, but the article states otherwise.

Right the head office are in control of the programming section, how the machines should work. So, testing out and playing the machine is something they should know how to do, and they can easily get over their losses because they own the algorithm and maths involved in the casino. The employees on the other hand, are expected not to be addicted regardless of where they stake bets.

Indeed, talking to a colleague about his recent behavior that seems like he is addicted to gambling could be offensive, but helping out in a polite way won't sound so horrible to the victim. It takes a gambling conversation to convert a gambler to play responsibly and the person can then become friends with his colleague. What matters is saving the player from being convulsive; it could ruin his career because he won't provide the best services anymore. Secondly, I know a friend that was saved from gambling through his girlfriend. It works if the addicted player is married or in a relationship instead of meeting them to complain about their gambling habit, their spouse can handle vividly the task of advising, and counseling the victim to change their habit. The victim needs to hear it from someone they trust. It's more effective this way than causing more misunderstanding.

Yes I'm using Firefox maybe it's the fault of the browser as I've gone through the answers here. Though I don't have chrome updated on my PC and like Rikafip said, it's not a trouble just wanted to confirm if I'm the only person that's experiecing the problem. I'd try with chrome once it's updated.

I've been trying for sometimes to know if the shortcuts alt+s for submit and alt+p to preview would work on my PC, but it seems useless and wouldn't make any changes. I think it's my Laptop's fault, and I'm not close to my desktop to confirm how true my instinct is about that. So, I thought about asking forum members if they have a means of achieving the shortcut key or it doesn't just work. Have you been using the shortcuts to post and preview your posts?

Knowing someone is a scammer can be difficult but easier after they've scammed you. So, you'll have to be careful with high profit services, the forum helps to identify a scammer by adding a warning box untop of the person's service thread stating that lots of users have pointed the user as a scammer, but that doesn't solve most of the problem, because people still go on working with such persons even after reading the warning.

If you confirm someone is a scammer don't hesitate to drop a negative feedback on the person's account or open a thread on the reputation or scam accusation section reporting to the forum about the user with proves of chat and Bitcoin transaction hash.

To avoid scam you need to work with users that have got quality reviews on their service thread. And always confirm by asking for a review copy of their services before paying; for a user with lesser reputation.

Stay safe.

OP's desperation must have left him with no option than to choose BTC, which is a good take. I think from his motives he wants a starting point to begin his trading journey. Binance would be a good place for OP, as they offer trading tutorials for beginners and he could as well start with small funds. They're nice wallets recommended for him already, but some like electrum seem technical for a newbie like OP. What matters now is for him to try hot Android wallets for now then move on to open source wallet like electrum.

But, first, like you said Op needs to cool off and watch how the market works, he sounds hurried, like he wants a quick turn up from his investment. I hope he won't get in the hands of cheater again, if he sticks to the forum he would learn how to do it himself.

They are players that prepare all the funds they have for gambling and such people focus mainly on gambling than any other thing. They see gambling like a full time job, a source of income, so it's their business and not pleasure anymore. But, such a life is not recommendable for any gambler as it won't help them on the long run. They could lose out on every fund they've budgeted for gambling which could lead to depression. I think such people with little or no savings are not only addicted, but are worried about their losses and striving to hit a jack pot at all cost, which keeps them glued to playing games.

When seeking an answer anywhere, you're expected to know the right answer through the correspondence from people that give out merits or quote the answer to be correct, and if you are not satisfied with the responses here, keep asking more questions under the thread you created until the answers are simplified to your own understanding. Furthermore, it's always important to read the links that members provide on your thread, it'll better clarify you with what you are looking out for, however it's rare to get wrong answers from the forum that goes unnoticed. Members tend to point it out as a wrong answer, so it's necessary to read word for word the responses you get on your thread.
