Well for the fact that our mentality matters a lot in whatever we are doing we have to employ a stable mentality that can allow us to make proper decisions that will help us in some ways possible that will place us in a winning position,  this could also affect our winning rate at some points.

If a gambler allows his emotions to have control of his thoughts and mindset towards the game,  it still can hamper his chances of winning since he may be prone to making decisions at the wrong time,  since his emotions are in control.

You are right, @wiwo. For a human to perform efficiently and diligently, they must be mentally and emotionally stable; otherwise, it can result in making different kinds of mistakes. There is some kind of mental state that someone can be in, and the person can be faced with sudden amnesia, forgetting themselves about what they are doing and doing things in the wrong way even before realizing themselves. Definitely, if it's a gambler, he or she can gamble wrongly and make some mistakes that land them in possible losses that they have not planned for, plus the fact that gambling is also a game of luck. Normally, unless one is mentally good, they can't perform well, so if a gambler knows that they are not in the right frame of mind, it is better to also stay away from gambling at that moment.
Yes because mental wellness will give birth to every other productive part of the human being and if anything affect the mental state,  it will result into so many negative experience for the gambler and this will not be a good outcome.

Some times,  taking a enough rest also helps a lot in repairing the mental states,  I have a ruin that I have maintained over the years and that is taking 2-3 hours daily to take rest during the day,  this has helped me to charge up keeping me on a balanced mental state.

So you spent all this time to pen down along easy to outline something you feels doesn't have value?

This sound so sarcastic and laughable because you have totally miss understood what the concept and ecosystem surrounding cryptocurrencies most especially Bitcoin and it usercase and just like many others have mentioned,  there are several user cases for Bitcoin and that is why you see Bitcoin value increasing at every point even though it faces some challenges from time to time that affects its price but at the end, Bitcoin always recovers.
2583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 20, 2023, 10:23:02 PM
This week Manchester City still seems very likely to continue its winning trend in the Premier League. Manchester City plays at home against Nottingham, so I don't think they will drop any points in their home game this week. However, I will not underestimate Nottingham in the slightest even though their probability of winning is very low against the current defending champions for 3 consecutive seasons.

Meanwhile, in other matches, the Chelsea vs Aston Villa match was no less interesting. We all want to know whether Pochettino will stop the streak of bad results or if he will continue to get bad results. Chelsea remains unchanged but some improvements remain to be considered.
Manchester City is a team that is quite strong and difficult to beat in the Premier League. Ahead of the match against Nottingham Forest, of course Pep Guardiola men have strong capital after successfully carrying out their mission by winning 3 points in every match they play. Even Nottingham Forest is not in a favorable enough condition for the match against Manchester City because their performance has not been relatively stable this season. So in this match Manchester City is the favorite to win this match.

I am more interested in the Arsenal vs Tottenham match. Because this match is a big match this week by bringing together the two top teams on the standings. I think Ange Postecoglou men will have their strength tested when they visit the Emirates stadium. Yes, so far Tottenham performance has been quite impressive, they were able to record consecutive wins at the start of this season.
I believe strongly that,  Manchester City will finish this current season on the same note their finished in the last season,  by winning the both leagues and creating a record that will take other clubs a long time to break,  and far as I know the club management have already established a long term success platform for the club,  and from the recent statistics,  Manchester City is among clubs that spent highest money in players signing in the last transfer market and that have increased their chances a lot.
2584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: September 20, 2023, 10:16:30 PM
When I first started gambling I was already 30years of age and I knew to some extent the risk and the benefits attached to gambling I was in control of how much I spend at a time once I double my money I left sooner. gambling were my time out, since they were a reward. I had a feeling of been at home and a sense of belonging as soon as I entered the venue there was anticipation as well as friendless of staff and regular players the more I earn the more I spend  at some point and convincing myself I was having a good time it is true that gambling can be addictive but it also has it's own benefit so long you are control.
Best for you that you start gambling when you were already 30  years or above and that is a good age to start anything close to risk and addictions tendencies since at that age you will be able to control what you allow and do not allow while gambling,  but then what made it easier for you is because of your location because from what you have said you may be from a country where gambling is very unpopular and of that be the case,  it becomes easier to stay away from it until you grow to the level.

But in countries like the US where gambling is very popular and regulated by the government,  any child above 18 already knows what gambling is and how to go about it,  I guess that is what differentiates the level of exposure of both.
2585  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How did Ripple (XRP) become so popular and blow up in price? on: September 20, 2023, 10:09:42 PM
Even with all the crisis rocking the project, XRP have been around for a long while now and have gained a lot of popularity from it previous market behaviours and also with a lot of hype that have been created around most of the projects in ripple categories make it easier for ripple to build such level of popularity.

But in terms of price,  Ripple have not don so well in recent time,  and the coin have been unable to make a good recovery since its last dump so for that at the moment I don't consider Ripple as a good project to invest but in terms of popularity,  ripe is popular.

As far as I know, the name 1xbet as mentioned on OP here is a flagged one and as such should not be taken seriously. 1xbet has lots of pending accusations and cases here to settle before their exit. OP should have been able to do research here by searching for the name before making such a post to know if they once existed here and to know their history so as not to meet resistance from members when making known the name of the casino. As it is now, it would be very difficult to convince anybody here to deal with OP for the fact that 1xbet is involved, and as a matter of fact, this is OP indirectly promoting a scam and may likely get tagged by other members for coming here to promoting a casino being accused of scamming members here. It is likely that OP might belong to the 1xbet team or if I am not mistaken an alt account of a well-established member.

Well even though,  1xbet may have not hard any direct accusation against them,  but their sister company 1xbit have tons of unratified cases against them and have paid 100% def ears to all of them by not solving or responding to any of such,  but 1xbet seems to be a popular traditional casino with a lot of celebrities as their influencers in my country.

But the bottom line is that we are warned to avoid using anything related to 1xbit and we are also warning all the others to avoid it since they proved bad actors.
2587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 20, 2023, 09:52:44 PM
I currently live in a country where tax residents are not obliged to pay tax if their source of income is abroad and is not related to work the do or services they provide. This country is Georgia.

For people who play in offshore companies or in Web3 DAOs, this country is a tax paradise.
That sound nice,  but I will like to know,  this taxed holidays on international earnings,  is it only applicable to gambling earnings or other activities such as trading and cryptocurrency holdings.

I am sure most of those earnings will have their separate laws and taxation but the fact still remains that,  not many countries have been able to establish a tax regime on gambling earnings or Bitcoin trading and other decentralized assets.
2588  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: September 20, 2023, 09:43:58 PM
Did you read their terms and conditions, ask the support, or even do any research before getting involved? A casino or any platform wouldn't put everything up for you to read before you register but it's your responsibility to do that since you are the one who is going to be using his money to use the services and they will just be providing the services while having their rules written in their terms and conditions which are to be read by the customers themselves.

The problem always narrows down to one thing in such cases, not reading the T&C. Then they come up here, open a topic to make everyone aware how pathetic the named casino is and how they got scammed. Almost every casino that has a licence will enforce KYC to its user. After testing the casino and before making a big deposit it is advised to complete KYC. If you don't then you cannot withdraw. Contacting the support does help but that will take time.
In as much as I agree with you, I will still point out that, a casino that really wanna be true in terms of legitimacy, should never allow a gambler deposit money without first passing kyc verification, if they know they won't allow the same user withdraw same money without passing kyc verification.

Take for example, recently, the drivers license which is the document I used in verifying my account on binance expired, I believed I had no issue since I've already verified my binance account years back before the document expired, but that same week my drivers license expired, I was to deposit some Bitcoin to binance, but I discovered Ive been locked out completely, I can deposit nor withdraw, I was asked to submit my renewed drivers license, or go through another verification process with a new document that isnt expired ..
And since I was yet to apply for my drivers license to be renewed, I had to re-verify my account with my national id card before binance allowed me to deposit ..

They probably would have just allowed me deposit , and then refuse me from withdrawing, which is very bad if you ask me .
Same way you bank account will stop working if your documents used expired and you haven't replaced or renew it,  but then also we have to learn a very important lesson from this,  which is that,  but not allowing you not to be able to carry out any activities on the exchange due to expiration of your driver license is a show of the exchange legitimacy and authenticity because if the allow you to deposit and your money get stocked in there,  it will be a different situation altogether and any platform that allows for such free access is likely to end up scaming at the end.

Because that shows that they never care about the security of the user account and that their concern about is the deposit they want to receive.
2589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: September 20, 2023, 09:33:03 PM
The only thing that makes someone quit their addiction is that someone no longer has anything, in this case, money, property, or even work, and this applies to all addictions.

That is not quitting gambling addiction, because immediately that the person gets access to funds, he or she will still fall back into gambling. After all, they haven't decided to quit. if you find yourself in this condition, the only thing that can get you out is when you decide to quit and disassociate or stay away from anything related to gambling activities like stop visiting gambling shops and sites, possibly staying away from friends who also indulge in gambling and even moving away from the environment if that environment contributed to you being addicted to gambling.
The thing is that,  gambling addiction os almost impossible to quite and this is because getting access to gambling sites through smart devices is easier than before and also if the addict have not really made up his mind to quite,  it may be a difficult quest to do so.

The best advice is to avoid getting into addictions because by the time you are already hucked by addictions,  it will become hard to break out of it and that is why,  it is better to stay from becoming addicted than trying to quit it.
2590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: No KYC vs KYC enabled casinos (Facts you need to know) on: September 20, 2023, 08:03:13 PM
These are just the basic things that I guess a lot of people would have known by now. Currently, there's not much appeal to no KYC platforms as the reports on users trying casinos out that promotes their platforms using this 'feature' yet still require KYC at some point is increasing by the day. Also, people have realized that most of the time, no KYC casinos are those trying to fish out desperate users for their money, and are not delivering as promised or sometimes end up being a scam. Even though they know of the comparisons, most people would surely just go towards KYC platforms.
Unless for the newbies who can be easily deceive by such statement,  since their may not have the experience of first reading the terms and conditions of the casino and to check if the casino is a licensed casino or not,  and what are the level of the kyc requirement on the site, this are all that should be checked before considering a casino to be ok to create your account on.

And also we as gambler must make up our mind to either gamble on centralized casinos or decentralized casinos where KYC will not be required.

2592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i have multiple accounts at the same casino? on: September 20, 2023, 07:06:26 PM
You can't. Because your account contains your personal and banking information and the casino allows only one customer account registration to ensure your security. So it is foolish to try this because it may get your account banned so you should use an account to keep your fund safe.
Some casinos look away from that,  but then you still stand the risk of losing your accounts ad all the money in them,  I am sure there is no other reason to have multiple accounts on a casino unless to abuse welcome bonuses so casinos already are aware of this and that is why,  those casinos that look away from multiple accounting doesn't offer any form of bonus to the new client's.

And more also if the casino is KYC it will not be allowed or impossible to operate multiple accounts since you may not be able to verify all of them with the same documents.
2593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 20, 2023, 06:32:50 PM

That's an exaggeration because Real Madrid actually decided some games very late and it could have gone wrong as well. In terms of the possible points to be won it was flawless, but it would be naive to think that Real Madrid easily won all of those games because that wasn't the case. Bellingham saved the team a couple of times in the last minute. But let's see how they keep going and whether the results remain the same. I am sure they would be happy to decide some of their games before the 90th minute.
No matter what the level of preparation by Real Madrid in the area of new players signing before the season doesn't make it an automatic winning of games and at that a lot of efforts still need to be put in place by the players and coach to always put forth the best foot for each games and by thriving hard to win those games.

But with the  current level of things in the club right now and how the results of most of their recent games have been it make no sense to see the once top club,  struggling to win a match in the early stage of the leagues in this current season.

Some people persevere in a positive manner, but over time, it might result in large financial losses. The secret is to allocate a specific amount of money for this kind of amusement and stick to it, even though its very tempting to double down or chase losses. Im only warning you to proceed with caution. Im not saying dont try your luck. Establishing and adhering to a budget distinguishes between an enjoyable pastime and a detrimental routine.
Lottery have double outcome and each outcome depends on the mindset and the approach that os applied by the lottery participants,  there os no doubt that lottery have the high chances of turning our financial life of individuals around,  but then if it not done based on limit application it will still result in negative direction or even sliding the fork into addictions.

Financial loses os one of the negative outcome of excessive gambling and even lottery because some people multiple lottery tickets with he aim of making multiple lottery winnings but in the end,  it still ball down to when the user has the luck to pick the lucky number which doesn't happen all the time.
2595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: September 20, 2023, 05:04:35 PM
That's why the role of parents is very important here, there are many children around me who already use cellphones but I don't know whether they are using cellphones well or not because when I observe them it seems like their parents have given them free rein. What I'm afraid of here is that if children are not restricted when playing on cellphones, it's not impossible that they will access things that are inappropriate for their age, there are also many around me (adults) who gamble openly, and what I'm afraid of that It is bad for them (children) to follow a path that is not appropriate for them.
There is no doubt about the importance of the role of parents towards their children because if parents can supervise their children when using their phones and always tell them to be careful, their children will learn to be responsible for what they do. Their children will also not use their phones for things that are not good for them and will be careful when browsing the internet. Their children know that the internet means a world without borders and it depends on how they use the internet. Parents don't need to strictly forbid it because that will only make their children rebel and instead, their curiosity will increase and they will find out for themselves. And that will make them take the wrong path, especially if they don't have guidance from their parents in using their phones.
However, many children who are given freedom actually become uncontrolled when using cellphones. I think the role of parents is needed to give firmness to children so that they don't go beyond the limits. I have a younger brother and happen to already have a personal cellphone, but as time goes by I see my little brother is increasingly out of control and if that continues to happen and parents allow this, it is not impossible that he will access inappropriate things including online gambling, indeed gambling at an early age is very impossible for them to do because they know that the expenses for gambling are not a little but it is not impossible that one day when they have money they will try it.
The biggest challenge faced by government or the casino in fighting the cases of gambling addictions is the problem of under age gambling which have lead to uncontrollable addictions and the one way to solving such issue is to make more awareness in the home and parents also have a major role to play in all of this stuffs.

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 my country, the government also imposes a 30% direct tax on cryptocurrencies and gambling.
I don't know how to pay taxes when I win the game by playing with cryptocurrency. And I don't play with taxable money so i not concerned about it for now.


The major challenge with cryptocurrency tax is that,  most times you are left with the option of paying the tax by yourself,  and that is why there have been a lot of defaulters and non-payment of income tax on cryptocurrency and gambling winnings.

This failure in payment of tax for those incomes is the fault of the government and not the individuals involved since the government while placing such a 30% tax on gambling winning and cryptocurrency income, failed to develop a mechanism that will make it impossible to default in payments.

When you get an invite on telegram always be vigilant against cheating , if the telegram owner is not a scammer then fellow users on that group is likely will work to scam you. So I stay off from telegram handles if I can't verify if it is an official handle. Having said that, 1xbet and 1xbit looks like birds of same feather, it didn't have a good review and reputation here so I'm sure most users will advise to stay clear from it , if actually you are not trying to promote what you posted .
That is very correct,  telegram have become a safe heaven for many scamming shit online,  and if any deal involve telegram,  one need to be very caution as to how to interact with them since there have been several cases of scams coming up from the use of telegram,  and this time that op already mentioned 1xbet,  this ring a loud negative bell on our eyes.

So for that ops should act with caution so as not to fail victim to any possible scam.

What the heck?

Wait for what?

You better stand up and safe yourself because no one will come and safe you,  this is not only applicable to Nigeria alone but all other part of the world,  people are beginning to pursuit after self freedom and in doing to you have to take the bold step to become financially free, because all other part of freedom still rely on finances to survive and that is why financial freedom is very important in any part of the world.

The government can't do anything about that,  because some of the economic crisis os a global crisis such as inflation and the rest of the other outcome of economic meltdown that have affected global economy.
