Do you agree that gambling outside what gambling is meant for is abuse on gambling?

I don't know how someone can gamble outside the act of gambling or what gambling is not meant for. If you bet your money or have staked it in gambling then you are gambling. Unlike the tramadol scenario you made which is quite understable. However, but if patients were to be relieved by tramadol on their pain and some people are also using it as hard drugs to get intoxicated, it means the drug has more than one purpose unlike gambling whose purpose could be more than one, entertainment and profit.


If you agree, what do you think should be done to gambling abusers if there was a way to catch them?
Should they be arrested and prosecuted same way drug abusers are arrested and prosecuted if caught?


If you gamble in a country where gambling is illegal then you have committed a crime and could be arrested likewise drugs, otherwise no arrest will be made.

all I said concerning Tramadol is solely based on my personal use and experience with the drug, in medical terms, I could be wrong with the description of the drug.[/i]

Tramadol I think have different effect on different people. It could be intoxicating some people and giving them energy but for others it could bring them down, weak and make them have lesser strength.

Greed is one thing that gets some game lost, the stake we are supposed to win out of greed we add another that get the game lost.


I'm tempted to argue here that your own case may not be issue of greed because you never got to the stage of cash out and left it to be filled. You only took a chance to maximize your profit and it happened that way. Any other game would have caused you to lose and not because you added one more game.


Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.

Don't keep fighting yourself because you lost or trying to chase back the lose because you will see yourself playing often and probably become an addict. You have to see your effort as a worthy one and anytime you are moved to gamble you can freely do so but not to put pressure on yourself. Opportunities come and go but they are never lost if you also identify it when it present itself.
2403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: July 24, 2023, 10:21:08 AM

I do not consider how much I win because gambling is very risky and you are likely not to win than to lose.


It takes someone who has a very good understanding of what gambling is to have this kind of mentality and that the way to survive gambling


I set a weekly budget, if I win more I take the profit, but if I lose and the weekly money is lost, I stopped for that week.

It is really tempting to stop when you have lost a whole lot of money and especially if you still have access to some money in your wallet. It takes a strong mind with controlled emotions to keep to this kudos.
2404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 24, 2023, 08:47:23 AM

Walking away is always difficult because you never know what would have happened if you continued playing but at least you can leave with something instead of nothing.

I do know that this is the better way to be a gambler, playing with your senses to make proper decision for the next time opportunity to come but most of the gamblers who have had to play until they won may not agree to this and that is why we have many losers because the percentage of losers is always higher than those winning in gambling. However, to have a reserve is better than giving everything up and hope for a winning whose chance to achieve is limited.

I created an account on this site 1 hour ago and used the pincodes and somehow on my first bet i got a lag and later my Balance was at 900$, i told to live support that i got 900$ just from using codes from bitcointalk and if it is possible to withdraw. The live support guy told me that i hit a jackpot on this one bet where i had lag and because of it my Balance is so big and then he is telling me that i have to deposit money which is the equal price which was the bonus i got to withdraw the 900$

You could have attached prove here for users to verify and also check their ToS if their is requirement to first make a deposit up to the bonus price you got to kind of activate it. So will you be entitled to withdraw both your deposit and your bonus if at all you send them the deposit? In any case, IMO I won't have to send such deposit to claim a bonus even if it is in their ToS.

How the reality of the country the affect the patronage of your business?


I know say many businesses don dey affected for this country because of the hard economic realities even down to mamaput self for road no dey too finish deir food again because men dey roost, na so dem go carry remaining one go house go do curing.

There is things particular business wey don dey suffer come from north because of insecurity and that because na night life businesses. The owners of this kind of business na so so complain you go dey hear because truly night crawlers self don dey hold them body. As money no dey, food no dey, everywhere cast.
2407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: July 23, 2023, 06:45:19 PM

My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?


Need is something that is insatiable so to bet according to need means the person is betting with greed and will be taking alot of risk that he can not carry. People who bet with their needs in mind are doing that if they see gambling as the only source of income. I don't advise people to bet that way but to bet according to their financial straight at that time and to bet as they can bear. Use some possible odds with few games then you are good to go.
2408  Other / Politics & Society / Re: When things go south, who or what lifts you up?? on: July 23, 2023, 05:34:08 PM
I always think of emigrating from the country in which I live. It is true that I was born here and all my family and friends are here, but the economic situation has become unbearable and everyone is thinking of emigrating.

So I think it is a common problem in many countries at different levels. If you get the opportunity to travel, don't miss it. Hope for a better tomorrow is what lifts you up.

The funny thing about migrating from one's country of origin to another country of foreign land is that you become a stranger and if you don't have a complete and legal traveling document including work permit is that you are going to be totally stranded and might be deported which will amount to waste of money and time. Moreover, your country of origin might be better than the country where you are running to because most times that is the situation since the grass is greener from the neighbor's end.

Despite that the government may corruptly embezzle tax payers money and not use it to provide social amenities for the people, we don't have to hide away from it either. What we have to do is to try and hold the government accountable by speaking out and taking them to court if the judicial system is independent and not corrupt also. Tax payment is a civic responsibility and to avoid it is a crime because government may turn around to punish people that they hold guilty of no payment.
2410  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is politics everyone's business? on: July 23, 2023, 02:40:44 PM
yes everyone has an equal right to pursue whatever interest they dime fit,  but then not everyone will have the ball to pursuits their interest.


Every has interest coupled with the zeal but that ball is what is lacking because those political gladiators are ready to kill or harm whoever crosses their part not to get to power. Many young men have been cut short because of their aspiration politically. So it is not a terrain for the lily livered to flourish like other endeavors like economy, social and media outlets. In politics, you have to be strong because that is where all other policies of government stem from.

The first judgement is already an edge and to upturn it may seem that the court is biased. The precedent will always be looked at because the evidence are part of the consideration.
2412  Economy / Economics / Re: The whales stirred. What should we expect? on: July 22, 2023, 07:26:27 PM
Question to the esteemed public ! What is this ?
- the end of the short era of cryptocurrencies ? Owners are actively moving into fiat


Moving into fiat or stable coin? I think the latter sounds more reasonable if those "ancient " wallet contained bitcoin and are now transferring to exchange then the logical analysis would be they either want to convert to stable coin to hodl in expectation that price will drop or that their big sells will eventually crash price while they are still hodling equivalent current price to sweep in more btc. I know another analysis could be selling to hodl in fiat but that may not visibly be certain because they fear inflation that is possibly hit the fiat and its value may not purchase as much btc if the crash happens. Just my thoughts anyway .

Nigeria should enhance its physical infrastructure, including transportation networks, electricity supply, and internet connectivity.

Quote
The Naira remains under pressure as many Nigerians scramble to acquire dollars for essential expenses, such as tuition, medical care, and import bills.

Quote
Several factors contribute to this predicament, including a significant influx of foreign currency from non-oil sources, such as remittances, tourism, and non-oil exports, into the black market.

I copy all these quotes from the link wey you provide. I no go talk too much on top this. No be rocket science go arrange things. Naira no be Nigeria challenge, so long as pressure dey on exchanging dollar to take important goods or take travel abroad for whatever purpose and we no dey produce what to export, Naira will still be depreciating. The economy lacks factors of production.
2414  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The best motivation on: July 22, 2023, 02:09:17 PM
I think all you can do in life is to be the best version of yourself. If you get up in the morning, work hard & go to bed knowing that you were a good person & couldn’t have done any more then that’s all you can do. We all have goals, targets etc but we must make them realistic. We all want to be Tom Brady but it’s not going to happen. Whether it’s a new qualification or a promotion at work, to make your wife proud of you, self motivation to go out there every day & do your best is a recipe for success.

Of course women like to have their men achieving in whatever they do, they want them to excel and so they also assist them in prayers especially the women that have the fear of God.

We can also motivate others by encouraging them using our own experiences. Sometimes we are a living motivation to people even without speaking to them if they know our triers and how we have been able to win in all the challenges. Also those people who know us, share our stories to others.
2415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: July 22, 2023, 01:30:57 PM
Nowadays most of the gambling platforms are advertised in the world of internet so that people can easily access those gambling companies. People are developing because of these gambling advertisements and they are joining in the hope of profiting from here. And this gambling industry is one of the most expensive competition in the world today and the constant gambling platforms have gained their popularity. We will see in the future that the gambling industry will grow more than double than it is now and everyone will be involved in this gambling platform.

The evidence of the gambling growth is felt all over. There is hardly any country that the youth are not online gambling. That is the new internet revolution and developers have taken the opportunity to build games that are very attractive in different forms. Moreover here in the forum, most of the ads are mostly on gambling and casinos. New accounts are opened just to run an ads on new casinos even whether it is genuine or not but they publish there sites because they know that is new market space.

I myself would rather use the money to bet on the predictions that I make than use the money to buy predictions that are not clear.

Even if you are not really experienced in gambling, it's better to meet someone who knows more than you and ask them to guide you or possibly give you some games, which they will gladly do for free because they also know that winning is very uncertain.

Not really the way you think. Gamblers sometimes don't feel free to release games to other gambler even especially when they feel it is a game possible for winning. That gambler may be feeling he has lost more times than the other person therefore considering it a chance for his own turn.  Most gamblers who rely on groups for their prediction want what will be given to them because they subscribe to it and not that they will beg for it but all in all there are no guarantee winning game.

Both rich and poor gamble and both becomes addicted, but the addiction of a poor man is easily noticeable because of lack of money.

If the addiction of the poor is easily noticeable that means the poor gamble with desperation to meet up with needs and regain his lost money which in any case is not regained because he continues to lose as it is not easy to win often times against the house or the casino. This is the situation in gambling for those who see gambling as source of income or that try to get huge jackpot from gambling.
2418  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 22, 2023, 05:20:55 AM

People who work hard to earn some money don't risk the hard earned money and if they do, it will be very limited. Their money is already intended to their family. However people are always tell themselves to make money work for them, funny its misunderstood that way which the lower class gambles like there is no tomorrow.


Those are simply the group of people who don't gamble at all. They are those who don't see any benefit in gambling. They are probably the group of people like the person arguing to the topic regarding to people who don't have enough money and feels they can make more money to support themselves through gambling.  Therefore, some people work hard but they also believe they need to gamble and add up to what they get from their normal jobs through working hard and others believe they only need to stake with what they get from working hard because they may lose it all.

So I'm curious, have you ever found yourself in such a situation? And how where you able to move yourself from such a state? Your opinions could help someone..

Many times challenges solve themselves and that is why they say time heals. People who have gone through this would see that sometimes it is time that will pass and you will gradually adjust to yourself and you now realise you would have been the greatest full for wanting to take your life which is to the extreme.

Apart from time, there is another solution which is talking it over with family or friends. They are source of encouragement for someone in such hopeless state .

The third is music. Listening to some cool reflective songs that will bring your mind down and free from whatever you have been through with. Music have been known to be recipe for many people in such condition.

People who are not interested in Politics will still be affected by what is going on around him including politics because its them who decides what the people get. A little changes in the rules by the governing politicians like banning grain affects you as a consumer. So don't think because you careless what is going on in politics mean politics will forget you.

All the more in geopolitics and us who trades in currencies because a little conflict in the Tokyo affects YEN/USD market.

It is a circle yes. If a country also does not partake in global politics and get it self affiliated to what is happening and try to influence it to their favour then the negative aspect of the global politics will keep hitting on the country's economy. The decisions agreed on the global comes down to the local, if world bank increase it spending, it is either it will benefit some countries in terms of loan and it is those that are influential and have presented very good reasons will get such on the shortest time while others are left behind.
