I completely agree with you my friend, indeed, you hit the nail in the head, in this time and age, it is no longer feasible to depend on google


I still rely on Google for my sports news and in fact they have accurate news and from Google you get wide range of information and education because they also direct you to some of the social media handles of the research you are making like the team's official handles or other veritable sources that you can access information. When visiting online news agency, I think it is wise to focus on the news letter itself and forget other ads that comes up, some people get carried away and probably try to sign-up to certain links of team's for news but that is dangerous to sign up to pages you are not really sure of. This is why I prefer Google to blogs.

I'm yet to click on the link provided because I'm skeptical about those clicks and not really advisable for a newbie account but I have to ask:
Quote
More than 50,000 football matches in the database

Is this like a virtual soccer? Your already have it programmed in your casino?

Quote
A multi-level referral program with regular deductions of 50% is available for each active Okko client.

Like have one wager and get a chance for another free wager? This I guess is like a networking right? Because bettors will concern themselves more to invite people through their referral code or link .
2583  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 06, 2023, 01:28:47 PM

....because usually people who are impatient will gamble until they win, even though this is a big mistake which will make them went bankrupt quickly.

These people are not impatient in my view but they are people chasing after the loses they have made so to recover but unfortunately gambling is gambling. It doesn't not present to us the desires of our heart. So you can keep chasing the loses until you go down with it. It is painful when you lose consistently but one need self control to understand every day is not a winning for you. There is a relationship to understanding gambling and playing or betting on it. This is the reason people lose so much to sell their house, car or important belongings because they are hopeful that the next game is going to be a jackpot for them and if you are seeing yourself in such level then addiction has set in.
2584  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 06, 2023, 09:23:17 AM


Whatever it is, there's no need to find out more about who gambled from the two, so far I also rarely see women playing gambling to make a living, unless she's really not a good woman maybe she's a gambler, most women are more busy with social their media compared to playing online gambling.  Grin

Women are not really associated with gambling yes, there are some areas of life that are known with some sex. So if you are a woman and you gamble alot or even openly, there is a way that the society see such woman like they are usually labelled bad but this is not the same with the male counterparts. A man that gambles may not be seen as bad but women could be seen that way. Moreso, regarding to men, a man who also gambles a lot but takes good care of his family is also looked differently by the society compared to that man who only gambles without taking care of the home but behaves irresponsible. It is just about what the society perceive about the standards of gambling.
2585  Other / Politics & Society / Re: World social media day. on: July 06, 2023, 07:47:05 AM
I would say social media has made more positive impact than negative because there are some people in this 21 century who are now millionaires through the monetization of their social media activities but there's no way some will have an advantage and won't have the other side which why we see some people abusing the potential and benefit of the social media.

It is the government and government agencies that are criticising social media like I have said. There was a time that tweeter was restricted by the government of Nigeria because people were speaking out what was wrong in governance. You can't beat a child and tell him or her not to cry, that is not possible because it will amount to inhuman reaction. Social media platforms have given voices and created enormous wealth to people who never expected they will get to where they are today and moreover it has exposed many to different talents, comedy etc.

  • Has being an active participant in the gambling section helped you develop more effective strategies for winning bets?


Rather I got to know that there is no actual winning strategy in gambling. It is in this forum that I understand more that it is luck you are playing for and there are no winning strategy because despite your analysis, head to head reviews, picking of small odds can fail you beyond your expectation. So the forum opened my eyes more to what I didn't know, including the rate of addiction in gambling.
2587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: July 05, 2023, 10:18:55 PM

The best thing to do is avoiding VPN  use except in cases where it is inevitable.

The bettors who are playing in countries where casinos are not banned then they don't have good reason to use VPN because if you do, you are by implication hidding something from those in authority. I also won't suggest that bettors use VPN when they are in jurisdiction that have not banned cryptocurrency and stick to their rules in ToS because I believe if casino is not rejecting your registration, you don't need to use VPU .
2588  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: July 05, 2023, 08:23:50 PM

I think gambling to some extent can be compared with alcohol dependence.


Alcohol dependence to me is also addiction because thing you can't do without becomes addiction. Gambling addiction and alcohol dependence is measured to be operating in same way only that in alcohol, you get drunk and misbehave because of intoxication which could lead you to getting naked, harming yourself or other people or total lost of control that can cause you bodily harm. But the salient point about addiction is losing of control towards your normal actions and that is present in both gambling and alcohol dependence.

Women are less prone to entering alcohol addiction, but if they have entered it, then it is harder for women to get out of it than for men.


I don't totally agree that women are harder to get out of alcohol addiction than men. I think it is the same measure. They both need external help and if they receive such help appropriately then they should get out of it because it is the brain that controls the loss of control and not gender or sex based.
2589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Virtual bug? on: July 05, 2023, 06:58:10 PM

So we should urge players to report if there are bugs and manipulation and it should be accompanied by proof because there are also players who try to get it even though they lose fair and square and they gave false allegations and accusations.

Reporting also could be dangerous because some bettors are over zealous when they lose their bet, they want to cause problem for the casino. This is like what we have seen in the forum where new accounts have made allegations whether right or wrong. So reporting a casino is dangerous and bettors should be careful and certain with proof if they are to do that.
2590  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin maximum price on: July 05, 2023, 05:25:36 PM
My prediction is between the $30k - $50k range for this year. This is because I don't expect volatility to hit above $50k before the next few months ending the year. I'm still looking at the body movement of btc during the time of halving but this year may have been a little spiking out volatility. Although price could still drop below $30k

UPDATE:

Sypoort staff member Eila who is the best support told me to context host provider of the event and told me to view the forum which led me to BC_Panda and so I mesaged them on telegram.

Panda gave me all the info I needed and has been very kind and helpful with fast respond. We both checked my UID to see if it was listed as winner but it was not.  
Doesn't make sense why to be shown message saying I won if I did not. Maybe error or glitch.

Panda said they contact event host and waiting on respond.



This is a whole new twist to your story. This is looking not too directional to what it is you are talking about. Did you check properly initially to know if you won or not before wanting to claim the reward?
Quote

. You both don't need to check to know you won or not.

Or could it be a mistake that you got a message for winning ?

Anyway I will suggest you can lock this thread now that you have checked to see you never won what you are trying to claim reward on.
2592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Virtual bug? on: July 05, 2023, 02:30:04 PM

Bug or manipulation, players should not experience this, it's a form of cheating, the admins should present their platform free of bugs and manipulation to their players, they need to test their platform for bugs, its better to name that platform, because they could still be doing this.
 

Hardly would a casino owner want to prevent the easy means that they are hoodwinking their customers unnoticed. Casino is such a business that any vacuum that exist if exploited without being caught then everything is okay. It is not a gentle man business nor business for people who propagate morality. It is for the fash and sharp minds and that is why you hear all the allegations stories in the forum whether true or not but each party is trying to watch their back because if you don't protect yourself, any lakuna could be exploited.
2593  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Killing in Politics is unethical on: July 05, 2023, 12:09:45 PM
Maybe the situation of political killings is now becoming worse unlike what it was, maybe some people will say it has always been like that but we know that the spate has increased. Almost in all the countries that have conducted elections in the last 4/5 years have not had hitch free elections and result especially for the highest position of the land, president.

Politics is not ethical from the practice of how politicians have now made it to be. They plan to eliminate opponents that will stop them and this incidents of killings never stops after elections because those bad guys that were employed surreptitiously to perpetuate such evil will still have those guns used to terrorize the country, some becomes saboteurs to the same politicians to kill for, some go into blackmail and that further conflagrate the insecurity and instability the government of the day will face.
2594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling scenario that keeps repeating on you on: July 05, 2023, 10:47:13 AM
Maybe many of us use scenarios and strategies to beat the casino, but keep in mind that we will not be able to win against the house forever, just watch, you may even be lucky for a few moments but you will lose in a row when you have an unlucky time, we all know that every scenario and any strategy the dealer will know how we play.


Yes. As much as we try to use configurations of any sort, analysis or descriptions and whotnot of 00s to try and beat our way to winning all day and times, it will not happen. You win some and you lose some this how gambling is. I remind people that the money you are chasing to grab from the casino is well secured against your inching finger. Casino is someone's business and they will protect you from winning always. I'm not sure any casino or gambling company offline or online declares losses , I don't know who has seen that happen. They are out to make profit also, they have to pay tax and take home gains.
2595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Virtual bug? on: July 05, 2023, 09:42:17 AM
but i normally noticed something very displeasing - sometimes, I felt bad for any gambler that lost in that same way and It looked to me like a kinda "money heist" program.


As a worker in the gaming industry and you feel displeasured about what has been happening with customers money where they are losing even at games they were suppose to win, you are in the position to know more and reveal to us on what is happening in the virtual soccer business. So you mean you never complained this or asked the management to at least know what it is for your own knowledge. Or something like that never came up for discussion during the staff meetings.

Virtual soccer is programmed but that a game will change within few minutes against the customer to the abysmal level that will give the bettor sleepless night from thinking of what actually happened, it surely a thought not to go through. Therefore, if this is not happening in any other games or bet but for only the correct score that was about to favour the player, then the gambling house should be able to explain what happened. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of virtual soccer is that it lacks comprehensive replay but for 5 goals to be scored within 7/8 minutes to the end of the match by the away team shows a manipulation is possible and also when playing virtual soccer, expect anything from programming.
2596  Economy / Economics / Re: Chinese city now accepts CBDC payments for bus rides on: July 05, 2023, 08:56:20 AM
The Chinese government have been long talking positive about CBDC for close to 3 years so if they now started to implement their digital yuan in their road transport I won't be surprised and that means they are gradually going to test it in another sector. China wants to dominate their people in every aspect of their life not to consider anything outside their development. They want to grow the yuan to the exclusion of any other currency. It is good for their economy actually because if you are dependent in yourself, you are likely to have a very formidable economy. From the beginning of the cryptocurrency movement, china have been back and forth on it and let us see if this new wave of crypto regulation like MICA will be bought by china if they will replicate something like that or put their people totally out from cryptocurrency opportunities.


2597  Economy / Gambling / Re: Challenge One Million Dice Bets with Profit every week. on: July 05, 2023, 07:58:31 AM

Gambling as a major income is kind of like to the moon, only few guys can achieve. Quit gambling also seems like impossible. In past 10 years, I almost spent 5-7 hrs per day to gamble. If no money, I would like to watch and refuse to leave. This is sick. Most of you cannot imagine the depth I walked towards. Gambling is part of my life or in my blood forever.


This is a typical admission of a gambling addict. Addict never give up by themselves, they need help. If you declare your actions to be sick yet you want to go ahead bringing more people into it  Well I am sure the lessons are getting clearer.

Play reasonably, gambling is luck based.
2598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why are altcoins important? on: July 04, 2023, 09:18:19 PM
Bitcoin popularity was because of the existence of altcoins. Altcoins creates option for the crypto market, such option exposes the difference of bitcoin especially in the aspect of decentralisation. That is if altcoins were not available, not many will invest in bitcoin, they invest in bitcoin because they have seen it has more potential than altcoins. Therefore, the disadvantages of altcoins makes bitcoin more recognised and value. Apart from how it increases the personal standing of bitcoin, it create investment opportunities for investors which means you can trade or hodl altcoins however short or long-term depending on your profit viability. It is seen as an asset whose value is expected to increase in the future.

This is serious. Moreover, if it has been confirmed that OP is soliciting for donation from people instead of looking for means to proof genuity of his claim it means he only chasing shadow.  Don't be fast to click on links you see because you never can tell.
2600  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 04, 2023, 07:04:16 PM

but most times even with this stats checked the outcome of the games still played out differently to what we actually predicted.

Yes and this is why it is still gambling. With any type of gambling we have to bet as we can bear the lose so in the case where we predict a football match for example and it turns out wrongly, we don't have to gnash our teeth. For me particularly if I have tried doing my analysis and eventually goes on to bet, I don't see any mistake on my side if I lose the game unlike some bettors who will keep regretting on why they added the game that broke the camel back. I simply move on to the next one if it doesn't favour me.
