It wont be a problem if controlled by time or a fixed budget simple time allocation would be good like anything, any hobby could be declared as destructive if completely unrestrained.  Its upto the person to recognize they need to trim down or completely stop something if its become an overwhelming occupation.  Gambling or any large interest could be excluding other people outside of that interest if they arent involved to the point you can discuss it with them then its almost as if you are not with them, make that hours a day and certainly it could be viewed that way.  Dont be too obsessive, it wont be lucky for gambling imo.
I don't seems to have any problem with my wife as regards to my gambling activities,  as a matter of fact my gambling activities goes unnoticed to her since I gamble at a minimum level,  she doesn't know I gamble,  and the only gambling object she knows around me is stake and that is because she know I am promoting a casino call stake.

Aside from that,  she doesn't care to know how much I earn from gambling and what amount I gamble with since I placed everything in moderation and also place priority on my family.
2562  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 21, 2023, 09:23:32 PM
Yes, you could say, Bellingham has become one of Real Madrid's mainstays this season. And despite this, Real Madrid still needs a striker who can really strengthen the front line. I believe that Bellingham is a multi-talented player who is actually still very young and has a lot of potential. Especially if you look at his contribution in LaLiga. It is undeniable, Bellingham is truly more than we expect.

However, if it was in the Champions League, this might be a little different because after all, there are many big clubs from different leagues that they have to face to become champions. However, without a very strong main striker, this will be quite difficult. As good as Bellingham is, this may not be as optimal as when they had Benzema as the main striker up front at that time. So, if it is possible, Real Madrid still needs a stronger main striker, so that it will be more complete, the midfield will also have Bellingham who will definitely support even more strongly. However, we don't know whether our dreams will actually come true or not. What is certain is that there is still hope, but it cannot be too hopeful.

Madrid are enjoyed luxury of Bellingham been a versatile player. No matter how gets goals he can’t be the same as proper striker. There matches where a center forward will get just half a chance and buries it Bellingham isn’t that player. If you look at the clutch times Joselu has produced this season then you see the essence of a striker. Right now I would say Madrid are riding at luck currently. If we look at the squad of Madrid and Barcelona, taking out the midfield which Madrid seems to be superior at not only in Laliga but the entire club football. But the part that  Lewandowski is spear heading the Barcelona attack gives me concern that should Madrid slip up then Barcelona will grab that position and it will be for Madrid to take control again. So for the main time I would not Make a prediction just yet
I bet you that it will still take real Madrid sometime before their can get the perfect replacement for Benzema,  and if care is not taken his absence will still be missed in this season even as it was missed in the last season,  Real Madrid have made attempts to make adequate replacement by signing new and younger players that can fit in to the position that Bezema held in the club.

But still it going to take some time before there can be clear reflection of that efforts in the outcome of the clubs performance since the players need time to properly get used to the team pattern pf plays.

SNIP
And speaking of telegram, do you happen to have a discord or telegram group for players to chat? I understand there's a chat in the casino but those are often clumsy to use, and real info is hard to search.

I checked their website and found this:
https://t.me/shufflecom
The players can chat there and if we demand, I think the team will not be bothered to add a specific section by using the 'Topics' feature of telegram. They don't have discord as I can't find it on the site.
@OP Site looks great, btw I am seeing many gamblers talking about the free $5 promo, what is it?
I think the ops asked me to pm him my shuffle id or something like that to get the $5 bonus to test the site,  but since then I haven't had the time to get back to the old with the requested detail.

But you can on the ops for more clarification but I am sure the $5 bonus is still available and anyone looking to take advantage of the bonus can do so by following ops demands.

We can say that meme coin are a good choice but it has so much risks involved as particularly, and the project you had mentioned above we didn't hear. I think this is newly created project, here you will get different ideas from members.
The most risk with memecoin is that,  there tend to just rely on the pump and dump hypes to survive and that is why they can't survive the market pressure for long and tend to just reign for a while and then fade off.

So if you are choosing a memecoin as a choice of investment,  you should know that you have to take it on short-term basis and not long term and prepare your mind that you are just gambling with your investment because memecoin is reliable in most cases.
2565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Betting significant amount on: September 21, 2023, 08:52:47 PM
I wouldn't recommend playing with your health when gambling.Of course we get excited when we expect to win and we like that, but we still need to take care of our health.You said that you take a higher risk to compensate if you can afford to lose a certain amount, but that doesn't always work.This can be more of a problem if you are often down on your luck.
I was not betting a significant amount of my money, I always tried to play with what I could afford to risk and when I lost I would use the rest of my money more sensibly by betting.
Health is wealth and whatever activities you want to do you must first have good health to be able to stay ahead in everything,  excessive gambling can indeed lead to high chances of health issues so at that we have to take every possible steps to guide ourselves through all the time and maintain a balance state of mind.

Betting above an amount we can afford to lose is something that should be avoided in all round,  because that could put you in a position that you may not be able to bear since gambling is not a guaranteed activity and it winning is only based on luck.
2566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When Gamblers Fail to Read a Casino's Terms and Conditions on: September 21, 2023, 08:47:57 PM
Should we fully shift this blames to the gambler's inability to Read the term and conditions of the casino and get themselves familiarise with it or we should also check the side of the insincerity of the gamblers and think that the casino will bend their rules just to suit in their mistakes,  because where all this raised from is where the gamblers stand to accuse the casino deliberately e.g a situation where the player deposits money into the casino,  and does not want to wager any amount and want to withdraw.

When the casino refused them their withdrawal they tend to accuse the casino of withholding their money meanwhile they have failed to follow the instruction of a 1x wager requirement in all deposits to fight against the use of the casino for money laundering activities.

Yeah congratulations to everyone who already claimed their monthly bonus,  I am on transit and only on mobile for now,  but before the next 6 hours I will be with my PC and to know how much I have as bonus for the last month,  although I hard less activities in last month compared to the July when I wagered a lot more that last month.


We can claim montly bonus using phone. I always claim my bonus using a phone. You never tried it?

How much you have montly bonus, it depends on your wagers. If do you have a lot wager you can get a lot bonus too. Good luck!

You should not encourage someone to use their mobile phone, while they are driving. Yes, you can claim the bonus via your phone.. but you should not do that while you operate a vehicle.  Wink

The base amount seems a lot smaller these days, because a lot of my friends said they did not gamble the last few months and this months was the smallest claim they made.... ?
Kakmakr you have misunderstood the mate to mean me using my cell phone while driving,  nope mate,  I was not driving but just that I was not home and I was only interacting with the forum from my cell phone,  but the browser where a stake is logged in and email are set on my PC which I left at home.

But all the same, I was able to claim mmonthly bonusesse a few hours back and I can say that I did poorly in terms of wagering in the last month to have received such a smaller amount compared to the previous month.
2569  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎰 BITRUBY.IO 🚀 - The Future of Crypto Gaming 💰 Double Your Deposit Up to 200% on: September 21, 2023, 04:39:56 PM
So, if you deposited 10$, basically you need 5k wager for it, thats it
5k what? $5000? Don't say that's USD lol.

For claiming this 200% bonus from $10, $5000 wagering really sounds weird. I'm not an expert on this as I barely claim bonuses due to this rules but you know it sounds huge. Correct me anyone if I'm wrong.
Yes I am also not a fan of bonuses due to their underlying rules to meet wager requirements on them but then also if you subscribe to the 200% bonuse,  it then means that if you deposit $5,000 and get $10,000 in bonuses and you need wager $5,000 out of that total amount that means you are wagering the bonus amount on a 1x bases which look fair to me.

Any ways I am also not an expert in this bonus analysis but f what I posted above is correct that means the casino has a 1x wager requirement on the deposits and bonuses and if this is confirmed it shows that the casino is okay and meets the demands that most of the casinos have set and are using.

But I stand by what I said and Real Madrid has result luck to some degree. This doesn't mean they are playing bad because they are not and the game against Union Berlin was also dominated by them, but it could have gone wrong and ended in a draw and that was the same with some of the La Liga games. I still miss the dominance when you after 60 minutes that the game is over when Real Madrid plays against an inferior opponent from La Liga or also in the Champions League.
We are on the same page on this,  I am not miss quoting the fact that Real Madrid is actually doing fine with the current results,  and indeed they have taken out the time to put in place a formidable team against all the opposition in this season and with that in place we can expect an excellent job to be delivered by the players in each of they matches going forward.

Real Madrid is my favourite club in the La Liga and nothing has changed about that and more so my worries were raised from Real Madrid's last season's performance which was not up to their previous standard of play but then if the changes made already worked,  we should expect more positive results from Real Madrid in this current season.
2571  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: September 21, 2023, 03:50:08 PM


That is true,we can collect it from anywhere.It does not only depend on the wager though but also if you win or lose and how many deposits you have made during this time,all these things are calculated in the new format of the monthly bonus,no one knows the exact amount but I have always gotten well over 280.000 IDR which is 17-18 dollars and this last time I got 225.000 IDR which is 13-14 dollars.The reason is that I won a max win and I won during my 30 days in which the monthly bonus is calculated and when you win you get a bit less.I am a Bronze VIP,the lowest level.
I agree with you,  the level of your amount in total wagered is what is used to calculate your potent monthly income in bonus and also I am a broze rank account and I think the rank of your account also determine as to how much percentage you get in monthly bonus calculations,  my gap to VIP is far long and I am gonna be looking away from getting a bigger monthly bonus because the last one was really very minimal almost unnoticed in my balance after claiming it.

But the current is going to be different for me since I am currently on holiday and will have enough time to spend on the site and wager more than last month and let's see what that will get me in bonus at the end of this month.

yup site is definitely down,  It has been downed for 2 days..
I have just opened the site and it seems okay. But the admin/op (nakaroulette) last active is July 23, 2023, 11:00:02 AM so I doubt about their service. Before investing in the site we have to think twice about it. Also as the op is not active the thread is not being moderated.
The site is live from my end here,  so why is @cavefar making this continues claim that he can't access the site and even said that the site has been down for 2 days in his comment above?

Could this be possible he is just trying to fud on the casino,  this could be an attempt to discredit NAKAMOTO ROULETTE but then this might be coming late since we don't just take someone's statement just like that with our own DYO which in this case have reveal that the site is active without any possible issues.
2573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: September 21, 2023, 03:25:27 PM
Cockfight emerged from one corner of the world and now it is spread all around the world. No part of the world is left, whether it is USA, Canada, United Kingdom or European Countries. What differ is the legal status and the importance it have got among the people. This is much followed by the Philippines people. Every region of the country have got arenas for cockfight. It is the country where big money is being circulated on betting over the roosters. In Philippines there are platforms that are dedicatedly operating to broadcast live fights and provide access for betting. Cockfight can be found to be legal in most of the Asian countries whereas in African countries it is very limited to two or three countries.
I may be interested to know where the game started from,  is it in the indian because that region is known for some fun seeking games and movies back then and having a cockfight may just be one of those indian funny games,  just saying anyways.

But then the game have indeed spread across other parts pf the world and Africa is one of the places where this game is actively played mostly in my country,  some part of the states have this game organized during their special festivals but most interested in this game are those who deal on livestock breeding and have farms that nurse such animals and once it is discovered that any of the animals have special strength and power,  that cock will be reserved and trained to fight occasional.
2574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not banned, yet not accepted on: September 21, 2023, 03:19:52 PM
Well, the circumstances relating to bitcoin and crypto currencies in general' in Nigeria is one that indeed will leave anyone puzzled, since the government outrightly banned local banks from transacting in crypto, even ordered the banks to close with immediate effect, any account discovered to be transacting in bitcoin, and yet, the same government have turned and imposed 10 percent tax on every crypto gains, even while they have not officially lifted the ban on banks transacting in crypto, where exactly in the world is such a thing done?

I Personally have come to agree with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are not banned in Nigeria, but it's just that some entities are restricted from transacting in it.
The Nigeria government never banned Bitcoin at first,  what happened back then was a game that was planned by the then CBN governor who is currently being arrested for financial crimes and Arms dealing plus terrorism financing, being a bad actor in the economy with his then position he made such uninformed ill thoughts out ban on banks from transacting in Bitcoin and ordered any account openened in that respect to be closed.

So this act have built a lot of misconceptions around the status of Bitcoin in Nigeria but then anyone in Nigeria will testify to the fact that cryptocurrency has gained a lot of traction in Nigeria with a large majority of youths getting actively involved in it with many already engaging in bitcoin mining even though it not made public yet.
2575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 21, 2023, 03:11:51 PM
[....]
If not, what is the reasoning behind it?
I hardly make a big bank from gambling on a yearly basis so it doesn't make sense to even add that to the income tax returns. I think authorities should only go after casinos since they rarely end up in a loss. It's probably more costly for them to go after most casual gamblers that don't even keep a record of their wins and losses.
Same reason to why many of us gamblers are not efficient in tax payment,  how can we pay tax on a winning that is not even up to our loses not to talk of profits from the winning,  the house edge have made it hard for gamblers to get any much winning at once and if they're managed to win it will be in a small amount that is not even up to the total loses in a stretch,  so for that,  we may have a tough time in paying tax.

Just like I suggested before,  the best way for the government to collect income tax on gambling is through the casino,  that is to say, the casino will make the return to the government and not the winner who may never do that.
2576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: September 21, 2023, 01:20:18 PM
The coming of computer devices has made access to gambling very easy for kids who should ordinarily be kept away from the knowledge of gambling/casinos.
In fact, gambling can not only be accessed from a computer but can also be accessed using a cellphone connected to the internet. Moreover, without having to access gambling, we often see games on cellphones that contain gambling, even though they are just simulations or demo games, that is what ultimately drives the desire. Children are familiar with gambling which is sometimes difficult to prevent them by prohibiting them from accessing the internet.

I prefer to explain to my children about the dangers of gambling addiction and introduce them that gambling is not good so don't ever try gambling with friends or anyone on the internet, because it's best to play with anything on the internet as long as you never use it for gambling, however, Our children cannot be banned because it will make them curious and try it. So it's enough to explain the consequences and risks of gambling so that they stay away from it.  Wink
That is the best approach,  because by explaining to your kids on the danger of those activities,  it place them in a better position to be able to protect themselves when they are faced with that challenges of deciding whether to gamble or not or do any other act that may have high negative risk on they total well being,  and this is why at most cases even if a person have passed the 🔞 year set by government,  it still need to add some extra year's,  and most importantly is better for an adult to start gambling that someone in they 20s or early 30s.

And the only time you can teach your kids all that is when they are young and still growing up,  and that is why there is a higher need for early education in the home and both parents are responsible for training the child and giving them all the necessary support most especially in area that are seen as red light such as gambling.
2577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cockfighting? on: September 20, 2023, 11:48:31 PM
It is true that "cockfighting" only exists in a few places in this part of the world, because several regions and countries strongly oppose cockfighting activities carried out by some people through policies issued by the government. And to overcome illegal cockfighting, we only need stricter law enforcement, because law enforcement in several countries and regions can still be lobbied again and there are also many law enforcement officers who protect cockfighting activities.
On few occasions I have been privileged to witness this cockfight,  since this discussion began a few weeks ago,  but then at some point it still ball down to the fact that cockfighting only exist in some premitive location around the world,  some are in villages that have some level of f traditional settings that allow for some local games,  in the northern part in my country there use to have arranged cock games and this normally happens during some form of religion events that happened at seasonal period.
cockfighting is local culture. However, as time goes by, many people are interested in cockfighting, it is not only held in certain areas but has been held in several countries. And currently, through several considerations, some countries have made a policy that cockfighting is an illegal activity that is contrary to regulations and legislation. so that in the end cockfighting returned to being a local activity held in certain places.

However, here I just found out that cockfighting activities are part of religious ritual activities, because as far as I know, cockfighting activities are cultural ritual activities or customs.

If we are considering the entertainment aspect of it, cock fighting could be that lovely in giving fun we wanted to have in gambling, as for those in local settings, this is more predominant to the region underdeveloped, on the same view cock fighting is eady to predict base o their physical strength, we can grade a cock with it's experience in fighting and how it appears, but when we are to consider the law and regulations that guides the livestocks, their use may not be permitted in most developed countries because they believed it's a form of abuse.
But some times even the physical look of the animal may deceive you into selecting the wrong cock to fight with if you are in a group betting,  sometime those cocks that have fought for a long time may look malnourished but then when it comes to fighting the can possible devour the most healthy looking cock within minutes.

And also their have the strength to fight for long time,  but those animals that are overfed are quick to get exhausted.

The term 'entertainment' applies to those who are single and not asked by their parents to submit part of their salaries on their parents' hands. Rest are those who don't come in this category and they cannot entertain themselves through gambling. By the way, you just opened up one side of the coin here, you told us about people who want to win more through gambling. But what about the casinos? What about those who eat our money by any means and not let us withdraw anything and freeze our account for no reason? Do you think we will then be feeling entertained?
I guess those in that cateare the bad actors in the gambling Industry,  I am sure we are already well aware of the fact that casinos that are mostly promoted here in the forum have a good reputation unless for some few others who may promote here and still end up as scam on the long run,  this are all bases for our arguments,  let us not focus on the entertainment aspect of things when it comes to gambling,  because majority of us here are all in for the money.

Take sportbets which is the most popular activities by gamblers,  I staking games in sportbet,  what fun is there anyway?

Unless for the in house games that may present some form of excitement but aside from that,  I don't see any fun compared to the reward aspects.
