Of course it is very easy if gamblers can stop their gambling habit if they continue to accept defeats in gambling. But for people who are addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to stop... because it has become their habit. every week or even monthly to improve his family's economy.. it's impossible for him to stop..
An addict can change if he has found his saturation point in playing gambling where he feels frustrated never getting any wins and lots of debts which he has to pay off, usually gamblers like that will stop on their own and don't need advice, because with him not getting the way out of all the problems the only way is to stop and solve all the problems.


On the contrary it is debt repayment that makes an addict stick tight with the notion of trying his luck harder to repay. If you ask most addicts in gambling the reason for not stopping, they tell you that they are indebted and will stop soon when they repay. They promise to stop and give you timeframe but when that time comes they still tell you another date. Addiction is a serious habit that people may not be able to stop until they get help.

Will you try a trick to win on casino game machines if you were told and it is a 100% working trick to cash out?

I was going to ask how you can cheat a casino but even with a trick on the machine, the probability is very limited for that to happen


Will you bet on fixed games if you get the tip early?


Is anything wrong with fixed games? I don't think so.
If you as a bettor have a chance that a football match for example has been fixed, you can bet on the direction for winning your bet and that is not you cheating. In this case you didn't cheat but those who fixed the game did.
2723  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do gambling addicts bother about the consequences of their actions? on: June 22, 2023, 02:22:32 PM

It is difficult to grasp or imagined the level of humiliation the innocent cleaner must have faced for an act she knows nothing about.



A question that bothers me concerning this issue is;
1. Do gambling addicts ever take a second thought on what the consequences of their actions can be not just to them but on those close to them? 

They are just like someone going to steal. The main purpose is to go for the act first and they are mostly hopeful for a success.


2. Do they in reality genuinely feel any remorse about  how those affected by their actions might be feeling? 

Once in the act, nothing else matters. So they might feel remorse afterwards or not but that doesn't stop a repetition of the act until they get help.


3. Or, are they a dispassionate victim of their own uncontrollable addictive gambling lifestyle?

An addict is at the mercy of himself. If he does the act and succeed he benefit from it and if he doesn't then he suffers the more from his uncontrollable actions.
2724  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Friendly Match is Hard to Predict on: June 22, 2023, 12:07:10 PM
I just lost 3 Friendly Match last week ago, and all match results draw Grin,

  • Morocco - Cape Verde,
  • Germany - Ukraine,
  • and Indonesia vs Palestine

I don't know why a strong team like German and Morocco didn't play seriously when meet in a friendly match. this will be noted and experienced in the future, So if you are bet in a friendly match, be careful to bet, don't look at how strong that team and squad, just look and be brave to bet in a draw. This is just my opinion, not always all friendly matches result for draw, but with my 3 last bets, I have a thing to bet 70% in the draw  Grin,

how about you?

The reason that friendly matches are difficult to bet is because of the purpose of the match which is only as friendly as it can be including the roles which are loosen up , most times even the numbers of changes to make during the game is more than the maximum 3 for serious and normal football match. It is for recreation, keeping fit and for coaches to size their team up incase of a more serious match or tournament. The best players are most times not invited to play or are rested to avoid injuries. So because of this lowered standard, betting on them is difficult to predict. To predict draw for it or winning is a higher risk on the bettor. What most gamblers bet on it is either goal goal (g g) or 1.5 / 2.5. The believe to bet based on goals is because of the lack of seriousness and defenders / keepers may not put harder effort to defending goals.
2725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 22, 2023, 11:21:46 AM

Self denial is deception. An addict that denies to be one is only extending the revelation day because people know you more than how you even know yourself based on your attitude and relationships with them. Addict gamblers are like drunk who will always keep saying they don't get intoxicated when they drink but have behaviours known with drunks . If I'm a gambling addict then I should be able to accept that without excuse except I'm not one, just like I am not  Grin

Comparison difficult but at the same time good. There are people who drink alcohol and would like to stop drinking, but due to their weak will and environment (even to a greater extent) they will probably never be able to do this. It can be the same with gambling, adrenaline is also a drug that makes you come back again and again. We could refuse it, probably yes, but so many events constantly occur in the information space that remind us of this adrenaline every time that it is not so easy to resist.

The thing is there is an extent that a habit will last that it will leave an indelible mark on someone and such person only need support from third parties to come out of it. If you have not seen a chronic gambler that denies the act even while on it, I have seen such. Such people only feel they can help their finance only by gambling and at that such gambling for them is obviously not for fun but way of survival, if they will at the end of the day. Habit is strong and difficult to stop and when it becomes addiction, it is harder to leave on your own.

As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there.

2727  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: June 22, 2023, 04:48:42 AM

But it will not be difficult to do if you yourself are determined to leave gambling.


Habit is not easy to stop. It is not done by word of the mouth but excruciating effort by yourself and people around you. In fact for an addict, it goes beyond your personal decision to stop it, there must be external support for that to happen because sometimes the addict may lose consciousness and in the mercy of third party and to be taken to a rehab center. Like someone can attempt to take their life if they have bet unreasonably and probably exhausted all hope. So in that case so many things can be going in there mind and it is not easy to take a personal decision in such situation.


2728  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is to be blamed, the gambler or the betting agent on: June 21, 2023, 10:46:07 PM

So when I wanted to judge the case and possible settlement,  I query the casino agent how can you allow a customer to gamble on credit to the tune of 8k Knowing fully well that the gambler only has a 1k balance which already existed?

Also what is the probability that the gambler will ever return after owning such debt in the betting shops,  note the gambler's daily pay is 2k as a helper on the site,  so he has to work for 4 days to be able to meet that debt that is if he doesn't make any other expenses.



I would also judge same thing and query the ineptitude of the gambling agent to allow customer play a game on credit, a game as such like visual that only last within minute for a game to be over and the losser can bet more times and still lose because visual is just a programmed game and strictly based on luck that is devoid of prediction.

Anyway, to cut the long story to be short, the agent made a mistake that only ignorance would not be enough to exonerate him. Usually they are not permitted to allow customers on credit, in fact it is at there own peril for that to happen if they are not able to recover the money before the close of work because their account must balance before they leave the office. That is their rule and condition to be employed. So the agent is requesting the money not because the company have not deducted from him already but he wants to recover his money back, except there was a way he hid the credit from the boss otherwise he would pay with his money the same day or forfeit part of his belonging like his phone until the debt was paid. I'm talking of a critical example where an agent called me for help to rescue on the financial credit he could not recover for the day. So , the rule is made already to the agent not to permit credit or face the consequences.


Question is:

What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?


He has no choice than to pay his debt. The betting agent can retrieve his money through you if he can get you to sign undertaking for him that he will continue coming to the site and work while you make the payment to the agent until the money was completed. If I were the one as betting agent, that would be a better way to get back the money because the gamler loser if allowed without any form of threat that will hold him, he won't come back to the site.

OP I believe you are more than a month on the forum looking at your activities and you be able to know that the content of your post is not for this board. Please move the thread to bitcoin discussion that better suits it.

Meanwhile, it is not always good to discuss your bitcoin investment or earnings to the public. By public that means people you don't know and people you are meeting for the first time. You can become a target or people can start accessing base on the value of bitcoin and probably you were just hyping and fanning your ego  Grin
2730  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Casinos Go Bankrupt Because of Player Wins? on: June 21, 2023, 05:48:01 PM

You might even find that they "restrict" large withdrawals to buy some time to payout large wins. This normally escalates to players venting their anger on forums like this. (The good casinos will pay instantly)  Tongue

Yes when casino is not able to redeem payment of winners, it usually leads anger and show of vituperation especially for off line game houses but I think that is also same with the online casinos which is why we witness some players coming here to open up scam accusations thread when they win and can't claim the money.

Therefore, there are points here to note on the reasons that casinos will not be able to pay winners because they become insolvent from bettors winning.

New casinos can have this issue because they are inexperienced in most cases including setting of winning limit. Usually it is difficult to win against the house but in a situation that the players is sufficiently good, there are limits set for a winning slip. Take for example in Nigeria, gambling companies like bet9ja, betking etc, they all have limit that a betting slip potential winning amounts to and anything other than such is not allowed by the system. The maximum payouts in bet9ja and betking is #40,000,000 which is ($53.3k). With such limit, there will be an assurance to redeem payouts and the company won't go bankrupt.

Again, new casinos that have no affiliate also may go bankrupt.
2731  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Whats thought on this on: June 21, 2023, 04:13:51 PM

what do you think about  investors who are affected by the economic situation of their country. should such person keep holding even when things are upside down knowing fully that the only hope is to sell their bitcoins even when it has not yield any substantial profit so that they can meet up with life.
Share your thought as regarding this matter.

I think this your question dey straight forward and no need to dey bend on it. You simply dey ask say person wey no get cash and hunger dey wire him or him family and the person get btc wey dey one place for him wallet whether exchange wallet or him personal wallet and him dey hodl am say make d tin rise before him go sell am abi? My guy, I go sell the btc or part of it to take care of the issue especially if na health wahala. And if God provide for me and go still invest, bitcoin investment no dey finish.
2732  Economy / Gambling / Re: FLIP.casino - ONLINE CRYPTO GAMBLING ~ FREE $5 AT SIGN-UP on: June 21, 2023, 03:24:01 PM

Like I said, I don't trust the casino, giving a $1 bonus instead of the said $5, and minimum bet on the site being $1, is suspicious for me.


NOTE that I was trying to play dice, and this page is where I was asked to enter the amount i want to bet.

First evidence of distrust. If Op drops a line just for the purpose to attract traffic to the casino and there is disparity on the promise made, that is distasteful and a reason not to be given a second look. IMO I think there is no point to give any sort of attention to the site when the sign is already leading.
2733  Economy / Speculation / Re: This year is dumping ground for bitcoin on: June 21, 2023, 01:37:52 PM

or have America caught Satoshi and warn him to stop this bitcoin from gaining value?

You are making a joke I think , this is funny. American government has nothing to do with satoshi or even if they do bitcoin is already out of satoshi as a decentralised cryptocurrency. Don't be surprised that the price of bitcoin have not relatively gone up like you expect as it did in 2021. The price of bitcoin have remained stable this year with a little shift here and there but don't expect that rocket flying volatility until the next halving in 2024.

One post one activity despite the positive criticism, support/directions and help that members are willing to offer. OP may only be thinking members will join and sign-up without proper probing into the casino. I guess he is not looking serious with the business he is trying to advertise. By giving out $5 for sign-up will not do the magic but to build confidence and trust among the community.
2735  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: New world order or CBDC against cryptocurrencies on: June 21, 2023, 11:49:28 AM

Prominent Nigerians and leading figures in the civil society had been calling for Emefiele's arrest and prosecution after he rolled out a "naira redesign policy" very close to the presidential election that led to massive cash shortages."

Those "Prominent Nigerians" are just like toothless bull dogs that can't organise themselves to challenge bad governance or they are all friends with the government benefitting from bad governance. They are all interested in having dip pockets from the government looking for different contracts and wouldn't find any alterations in the way government is going because of how the system has been made to benefit them.

The whole point is that Nigeria runs a kind of government whether presidential or federal system but the president has superior power and controls the government to himself and also his political party (which is the ruling party) and therefore anything he says, decides or wish to allow to happen stays that way. So Godwin Emefiele can't take decision without the president vetting on it. Those going after him should also endeavour to go arrest the past president (Muhammad Buhari), he should not be exempted in that ordeal because he approved the policy

___
Will the main initiator of the CBDC or digital collar go to jail in Nigeria?

He already appealed his prosecution in court and I think legally he should be able to defend himself and bring in the past president into the picture .
2736  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: June 21, 2023, 09:50:39 AM
That's why we need to double our security and our every source because not all the time that the internet give us the accurate and true sources because there are many scams or fake news around the internet. So we need to find those legitimate one. Especially in gambling we need to look the trusted and reliable sources in order to put our bet in our favorite team of player.
If you are searching on the chrome then you would come across many scams as they are not moderating it and only want you to pay them so it's your responsibility to check for authentication and don't fall for those fake news spreading on the internet but many times we believe in what we see but that's not right and yes we should check for it and confirm if the news is right or not.

Sometimes also you see some blogs that are advertising some groups through their link, it doesn't necessarily mean that they are reliable. You need to do a proper check on them before you fall into them. If a site is not protected then there is high risk that you may be scammed after visiting it or your phone may get hacked.
2737  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 21, 2023, 08:42:02 AM

and they are considered dirty and unfit to be a wife.

No doubt that women are not really in gambling business especially in the past but lately the paradigm is shifting. There are women that have excelled in gambling like the active age of women from 30 -55 have been known to get on well with activities that before now are known to be patrilineal. Now women are playing from lottery games to online betting, gaming and poker games.  Therefore I think saying women are unfit to be a wife is your personal word based on your experience and deriding to the women folks.

Maybe women could easily be judged because of their gambling habit because as wives and parents, they should be a model to their kids. Women should also be the body of the family where she must take care of their family so gambling could hinder her from doing their responsibilities as a mother. However, it is still hard to judge them totally as wives and others because there are also women who could handle gambling and their personal lives well. There are plenty of women who can manage different tasks along with gambling activities responsibly and wisely. It is our personal ability to take responsibility for our actions and it couldn't be defined by our gender because both men and women could fall into gambling addiction without proper discipline and self-control.

If we want to judge women based on their gender or even sex regarding to taking care of the home, family and children like they should stay at home and become redundant house wives that will only breed children and having sex with the husband, we also remember the rate of poverty crippling into those homes. Poverty is another factor that can make women move out to take gambling risk too just like it is known that same poverty can be proved to be part of the reasons for the increase of gambling even in men. Some women support their husbands that gamble and get taught by the husbands also.

We cannot do anything about them as they are not violating any rules but we could stop replying on them.

I think this is one way that such repeated content will be relegated to the background. It is the people who bump them up that cause those threads pumping up often times and stay on the first thread page. So if the repliers see them as content that have been exhausted and they don't dump their post on them , it will go to obscurity natural.

However, there is nothing we can do about some of those topics because they keep coming even though with little colouration. It depends on mod to decide the thread to lock or not. To add to it, gambling board are considered to have much of mega thread because of bunch of repetition as campaign participants usually dump post here to complete post count for the week and by this some signature campaign try to limit participants on posting on mega thread by restricting them to some numbers of pages allowed to post.
