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.
2602  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.
2603  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.
2604  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.
2605  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.


2606  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.
2607  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.

Oh... Really. Welcome back


Just to clarify

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.
2609  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.
2610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy more ETH..... on: July 04, 2023, 05:30:54 PM
Looking at effective price of altcoins ETH has not really record a bad history and very soon ETH will hit way bigger and better, if you have sphere money buy plenty of it and allow it to run for five years and watch what the outcome will be.

I hope you are not giving professional advise. Anyway what you have said is not far from the truth. Etheruem has really been under estimated or under priced given that it has coins under its blockchain which is suppose to be a boost in price for it. Back in ico days, almost all the coins that existed five years ago where erc20. Also, etheruem as the leader of altcoins have not had a separate bull run outside from bitcoin so I'm still expecting that to happen and optimistic is going to be a turn around to the real value of etheruem.
2611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 04, 2023, 04:23:40 PM
Sports betting doesn't really involve guess work. I think this aspect of betting is more dependent on analysis of the games to be played if it is football etc, you go for the previous performance, head to head and many other analytical factors to have a reason to bet in favour of a particular team. i don't believe sports betting involves mathematical models based on probabilities that is out of the more practical experience in the past. However, it is not only sports betting that has such losing rate but it is across the games including casinos.
2612  Other / Politics & Society / Re: World social media day. on: July 04, 2023, 02:42:36 PM
   
   Not withstanding at the same time we have equally had situations in which social media has helped aspiring individuals to reach their aims and goals. Further more many celebrities around the world today  has accumulated more wealth through social media as well, so I ask;

Social media for me has done more good than evil. The rate of poverty would have been more if not for social media but more youths have tapped from the benefits of social media. At least Mark Zuckerberg's age is within the youth age and he is rich from creating Facebook. Many other entrepreneurs social media platforms are making the world an entertaining place to be, Snapchat, YouTube, content creation, jobs accessibility online, gaming and casinos etc. All those and more are courtesy social media. The list of benefit is endless and moreover communication which seem to be very important in the day to day activities of mankind are all made more fostered through social media.

   
So far from various individuals views would you say that social media has made more negative impact than the positive side?
Let's get your thoughts.

This is mostly the government view that social media is producing negative results especially countries from third world or the ones that are known as technologically less developed. These government don't want to be criticized, they want to keep riding on the soldiers of the people and they don't want dissenting opinion or voice but they also forget that some of their policies get to the people through same social media. It is just a case of speaking with different side of the mouth.
2613  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Invest small money and get big money avoid them. on: July 04, 2023, 01:53:01 PM

He said they contact him through phone call and gave him the instruction that they will be the one to help him invest the money and return the profit to my friend.

Yes na abi na you want invest the money? Abi you fit scam yourself? Lol. Scammers dey always catch people wey dey greedy. Them say na the person wey water see him leg him dey carry, meaning if you begin listen to somebody wey want scam you, you don create chance for him to try scam you.






Oya na check this kind message but some people go still reply the message if not for anything because them wan see whether na scam or whether the person go fit scam them. Na that thing wey I still talk say na persin wey water see him leg him dey carry.

Even two days ago, I get text message too say dem don review my CV, say my salary na 20k daily. I no dey even recheck message like that, na to just delete am.
2614  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: New KuCoin kyc policy!!! on: July 04, 2023, 01:14:40 PM
KuCoin talk say then go make kyc mandatory for new members wey just dey create account with them, so if you be new member you go need complete your verification before you go fit dey use your account, no be like before wey you no need submit any documents before you go fit use KuCoin. Also old accounts wey register before 15 July go need complete their kyc also, if you no submit your documents, then plenty things go dey wey u no go fit do. So incase if we never complete our kyc and we get money for our KuCoin, make we do am now to avoid unnecessary story, and if you see say you no fit submit your document, then make we move our money commot for d exchange.


Wetin we go understand about this KYC be say na way wey dem don begin regulation so e no suppose to be new thing now, make everybody ready for am. This kucoin own now wey dem dey talk about new people na because dem just dey fresh so dem just say make dem kukuma catch dem young so that if you no want you go just carry your self comot. So KYC na for everybody whether new intake or those wey don begin with them.

On a normal level the thing suppose dey go phase by phase until all man go complete am or for those wey no want do am, if them time expire to provide those kyc requirements, dem fit just block dem or dem no go allow dem withdraw.
2615  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Can BTC or crypto users play politics in Nigeria? on: July 04, 2023, 12:06:34 PM
OP all that no be problem. Nigeria no dey exist for vacuum na people be Nigeria, even some politicians wey know how far dey run the crypto package. The government go only regulate the exchanges if dey want like them don dey put eyes for binance now. Some men no dey hide am say dem be cryptocurrency analyst so those people self na public figure. Me I don listen to so many like that wey dey analyse for channels television.


As time goes on, there will definitely be some crypto users that would hold public offices in Nigeria. Everything will happen naturally like evolution.

No cause for alarm for wetin op dey ask my guy. Things dey happen naturally only if you dey ready to grab am. You must live ready for time to come meet you. Anybody wey dey inside crypto runs fit aspire for any political position for the country, in fact e go even make sense self so that those people go follow liberalize the system for me. This one wey CBN dey do with account wey dey with binance no go dey happen.
2616  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Dangote Advices Nigerian Entrepreneurs. on: July 04, 2023, 08:49:07 AM

I consider him one of Africa's greatest entrepreneurs mostly with the completion of Africa's biggest refinery, in Lagos. It is an enormous achievement by a true visionary.


Guy make you leave that thing abeg. Forget about that dangote do this or that for Nigeria as Nigeria take be. If you be newbie here, e no mean say you be newbie for naija. Even small pikin don know wetin dey go on.

About that him refinery wey be biggest for Africa with 650,000 barrel capacity daily, we don hear as things take dey happen around him and "his" refinery. Soon now him go soon enter railway building  Grin and we go still say him build railway. Me no just like the way things dey go with the open cabal system. If banks, government and all the politicians put hand for one man dey lift am up plus policies wey dey favour him, make we self dey see road because pesin no go keep him own eyes for house and take our own eyes dey see road.


and am asking it here to know what we feel he should have added to the advice of reinvesting, besides saving or not buying real estate abroad?

This is the discussion over the radio on Max FM this morning.

Make him one dey advise Nigerian government say make dem build refinery too na. Say make dem refurbish those wey dem say wey dey to dey work well.

My brother no look am only in the angle of poverty. Make you consider the health benefit too. Even for Oyibo country like Netherlands, Bicycle plenty wella and even people wey chop belle full dey use am with pride. E go even shock you  to know say every person inside the Netherlands get at least two bicycle according to this article: https://www.hollandcyclingroutes.com/

We no doubt say oyibo dey use bicycle take do their kind of shuttle movement but those places their government do road well wey dey give everyone ease of movement. If you want use bicycle there you dey sure say no tricycle or motor go hit you on to say every one get their lane but for naija e no be the same thing.. The challenge for this country full truck remain. Even some west African countries self organise pass naija, I no even talk of South and East Africa.
2618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: July 03, 2023, 09:27:39 PM

So now, answer this question: what do you prefer, finding in a drawer an old lottery ticket dated last year and worth 100 millions, or a hardware wallet you forgot about in 2015 which contains 3 BTC? Many people don't know that lottery tickets expire, so I hope that after reading this thread you know the right answer.

This thread is very educative because I have seen some bettors who don't know about the topic, they feel if you have a winning lottery tickets that you can stay until eternity before going to cash it but that is false and this thread has become an eye to most that are not knowledgeable about it.

However for your moreorless easy puzzle that you want to unravel  Grin if the lottery ticket is dated last year and we are on the 7th month this year which means there is possibility that the ticket may have expired because most lottery ticket don't stay longer than 6 months. So with the analysis of the chances of the ticket expiring, I would go for the 3BTC.

On the second analysis, if the ticket has not expired then I will go for 100 million (I assume this is $100,000,000). So I will use the money to invest in more btc .
2619  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is Stake.com allowed to lock account with $6,000 untill I lose it all? on: July 03, 2023, 08:18:08 PM

Handing out KYC documents is not too much of a big deal,  if you don't have anything to hide like users in the US have been facing this level of restriction and verification demand since most casinos in that region are regulated.

I think some reasons that people are layed back from going through KYC is if they feel they can bypass it or when it is not a strict law that everyone is used to like the US you mentioned.

If a jurisdiction has made regulation a law, that means every other casino opening up in that country mandates KYC and bettors will get that knowledge already before opening an account that they must give themselves to KYC as prerequisite then it should settle the whole up and down about issues with not allowed to withdraw funds because of lack of kyc verification.
2620  Economy / Gambling / Re: Is Stake.com allowed to lock account with $6,000 untill I lose it all? on: July 03, 2023, 07:25:27 PM


It is indeed unfair to the players to be subject to endless KYC processes and this mostly happens when the customer wants to either withdraw or deposit an amount higher than $5,000 gamble should be aware of that risk and try to make their transactions below that amount.

It is a lesson for everyone to learn about KYC when it is requested that is why we need to make enquiry about a casino procedure for KYC and if we are not satisfied on it we can walk away and check the next door. It is not just about the amount to be withdrawn but to be sure we get the KYC verified before committing to stake. If for example KYC was already verified then when there is no release of fund, that becomes a pure red light for possible scam.
