Based on the Yahoo Finance report that Nigeria is the largest bitcoin user in Africa, unfortunately the government is not too concerned with communits cryptocurrencies which reaches more than 20 million users, but a good thing is that the government is also not banned bitcoin so bitcoin is still actively used and there is no problem until now.
I think it's much more than 20 million users, actually. According to Statista, around 30% of Nigerians use Bitcoin. It's the highest proportion of any country in the world. Just think of it, not only they use BTC in Nigeria, they are, likely, the most active users in the world. And yes, the fact that the Nigerian government didn't ban it is a big plus. Sometimes, what we need the most from our governments is to not intervene. |

~ It all depends on the character of the person. And also from his mental abilities. If a person is good at mathematics and knows something about probability theory, then he will certainly understand that the probability of winning in the long run is always much less than the probability of losing. But still, some people believe in their luck, in their good karma and play risky.
You know, that's not the worst thing that can happen here. I mean believing in "their luck, their good karma" and stuff. I personally wouldn't recommend this kind of thinking for gamblers, but that's not the worst that can happen to them. The most terrible thing is to think that you've figured it out, you know exactly how to win, all calculations done, you just need a larger bankroll for that. And of course he loses as a result. But sometimes it's not a disaster, but just a life experience and a great lesson for the future.  As I said earlier, losing is not guaranteed, same as winning. You can invent a craziest strategy of betting one can imagine, and be winning with it for a long time. It will be an outlier, yes, but with over a billion gamblers in the world almost everything is possible in one particular case. |

~ Take Bill Gates for example.
Bill Gates defines success as Happiness. he does not measure success based on the money he has earned. Instead, he measures every achievement by his own happiness. isn't that simple? yeah it's simple. because a successful life is happy. that is when we can feel happy even though it's in ordinary moments and in ordinary conditions.
Well, if you have 110 billion USD and you are the fifth-richest person in the world, you can probably say(and think) that money is not what you need, you need happiness. But for us, regular folks, it's mostly money what we need to be happy. I'm not saying all rich people are happy. Far from it. But if you have no money, it's hard to feel happy, especially when you have kids that want to eat. You can shoot some heroin into your veins, or drink alcohol with your friends, losers like yourself, and feel happy, but I don't think you can be called successful in that case. I agree with this. I forgot that the definition of success will be different when viewed from a different perspective. you are right, rich people maybe they don't think about money. because they already have a lot of money so they don't worry about lack of money. I forgot about that. that the standard of living also plays a role in this. Thank you for agreeing with me. And this brings us back to the OP of this thread. The very idea that money and fame isn't a measure for success comes from the people that have a lot of that stuff, but still feel unsuccessful. I mean, it's their own problem. These people can have millions of reasons to be unhappy, but it doesn't prove that everyone else would feel the same being on their place. |

Of course being a unique gambling casino would be better than a copycat, no doubt about that, but in reality it's practically impossible. The established model of sports betting, for example, is so good, so convenient for bettors, that with making something entirely new you are risking to be left without customers. Let alone slots that are rented from software providers. They are all the same. How can you be unique in that department? Yes, some gambling sites have their own slots, but it's only one or two among many hundreds of leased ones, and that’s because it is very costly to create a good slot.
That's why I think it is enough to be a bit different, in a good way, to win the competition these days.
True, it will require a huge upfront investment to try to differentiate from the other casinos without any guarantee that this will bring any clients, Exactly. Why people should go to your platform if they are already using several gambling platforms and absolutely satisfied with the experience? When there are so many good online casinos there's a high probability that your site will be worse than others if you are trying to create something new. I'm not advocating copycatting here. Please, do add some features that no one else has, but only if they are really useful. Don't make otherness your main goal. |

This is actually a very interesting question for me. Is it true that you can be banned from an online casino like Stake for the only reason that you are winning too much?
I know it used to be a thing for some land based casinos in the past, but I don't think reputable online casinos of the level of Stake are practicing it these days. In fact, I'm pretty sure that all top online casinos don't do that.
I don't think you can really ban players for that as they do nothing wrong in fact. They will probably just limit the players so they can only bet a low amount on the sports they always bet on. I got limited on a fiat only casino one time because I won like a bet of 100€ lol. I don't think they would do that either. First off, you will never read in ToS of any reputable gambling site that winning too much results in some kind of limiting your bet amount. Secondly, you can bet a low amount many times and voila, you are betting big again, right? That fiat based casino you were limited on for winning just €100 wasn't an example of a good casino, if you ask me. |

~ Yeah, you can watch them hitting big multipliers on slots on YouTube, and it's an interesting spectacle indeed. Only "fucked up" is hardly suitable here, mate. You are "fucked up" when you bet $10k and lost it at once. When you bet 30 cents and win $18 million with that bet, "You've done a good job", they say. Although, in fact, it's not you, it's the universe, like in many other cases of lucky turn of events, but who cares? Well, luck is something very good and unique, everyone who has that fortune enjoys it in their own way, however it is always good to buy even 1 ticket because you don't know when you have that touch of luck, but it catches my attention after 5 years to realize what a tremendous award, that fell from the sky, for me it is something very good, personally I like it when a person receives awards like that, in some way they deserve it, because if we get to see everyone they deserve it, only that kind of luck is good to look for, with the purchase of a daily ticket or something you can get is one of the safest ways, you don't know but at some point you get it. Yes, me too. When you see someone's winning big, and you know it's not staged, or something, you know it's genuine, it feels really good. Firstly because the more happy people in the world, the happier the world is overall. And secondly, you see that a big win like that is possible. You can be one of them winners one day. |

Thanks for your replies, @AbuBhakar, @CoinEraser, @irsykes, @michellee! I checked again both threads, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412860.0 and https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5412113.0, to make sure my predictions are there, and they are there! Now I see that my both predictions for ETH were overoptimistic, 1,988.88 Euro and 2,222.22 Euro. But with BTC, especially with my second one, 18,675.35 EUR, I think a have a good chance. What's really great about the possibility of making 2 predictions is that you have 2 chances instead of just one. And who knows, maybe my first prediction for BTC, 25,555.55 EUR, will be the winner on September 28. Fingers crossed. |

To me you pose the question incorrectly, misrepresented. In the current situation, to beat inflation can be done in two ways, saving, as you say, or increasing income above 11%, which is the preferable one in my opinion.
In other threads I have commented that a year ago, which is when inflation began to be noticed, before the war, my income increased, and this has meant that in spite of this inflationary period I have been able to spend more and save more.
It is not an easy thing and not everybody can do it. If you can't increase income, cut back on expenses, yes, but at least try, think about increasing income.
I agree with this. It can be not an easy task to increase your income, but cutting back your expenses is always possible. If food costs have increased by 11%, you should start buying less food. And not much less, but just 11% less. It's possible that you will feel healthier even after eating less, right? ... Well, I know it's not that simple, especially for people living in the poorest countries in the world, they were already eating less than they should, but for those living in rich Western countries eating less can be a good thing. |

Interesting info, mate! After reading it I started digging a bit more about history of dice, and found things I didn't know. I knew that Ancient Egyptians were using dice, but I always thought it was something like this  It appeared they were using a six sided dice, like this one  3000 thousand years BC! |

Unbelievable! Just several days ago I said in in this post that I will be doing multibets with 80-90 odds to test a pattern of betting(read the post if you want details). I knew it wasn't going to happen on the first try, so I was ready to do dozens of attempts, but look what happened on my third try:  Will definitely keep up with this pattern. |

I also suggesting luddo game . 1v1 or 4v4 what ever you want you can play this with multiplayer there was also one more game carrom bar pool . I think after including those games Gamblers will more attractive on that site . Because as the others boring games of casino those two are more enjoyable game .
-snip- -snip- Who knows, perhaps there are some people who would find luddo appealing,here it used to be a very popular game during long travels and family meetings to play while having some drinks/snacks. Also, even though the percentage is high, it served as an example on how casinos could earn money with tabletop games in general, this same model could be applied to chess, Monopoly-like games, memory games,etc. I must admit though, that luddo and similar kind of tabletop games have fallen in popularity in favor to mobile games, handheld consoles and other forms of electronic entertainment. There's an app on Google Play, Ludo King, I think it's the game you are talking about, right? From what I see, it's a very popular game in India. It has been downloaded more than 100 million times, and videos about it on YouTube have millions of views. The DAU (Daily Active Users) of this game is between 10 million and 70 million monthly users. And the game isn't popular only in India, it's quite popular in other countries too. Look:  Source: https://youtu.be/gJbaKMy6me4I myself can't figure out how to play it, but it appears that many millions of people know and love this game, so, it looks like a good idea to add Ludo on online crypto casino. |

Guys, anyone else having troubles with accessing WinDice Forum?
I'm getting this message
Yeah, I get the same error message: What happened?
The origin web server does not have a valid SSL certificate.
Apparently, there is an issue related to an expired SSL certificate or a certificate that doesn't include 'forum.windice.io' domain name. It should be easy to fix, so it will likely be resolved quickly. The WINDICE Forum is back. Looks like only a few people know it's back, because it was for the first time when I was the only person online there  Normally it's an active forum with interesting contests including "Top Poster(s) of the Month" with pretty nice prizes:  I won the very first one of them. I just checked, OMG, it was three and a half years ago! Time passes surprisingly quickly. |

Duelbits holds a new contest: Beer Festival! The prize fund of the contest is $15,000. To get a share of the prize fund you must be in the top 70 players. How to win: 1. Play any of the eligible games with at least $0.20 stake per spin
2. Each win rewards you with score based on the win multiplier (for example, if you wagered $1 and won $10, you will be rewarded with 10 points).
3. Points received are summed up throughout the Tournament period
4. The more points you collect, the higher your position on the Leaderboard
5. The Top 70 players on the Leaderboard will share a Prize Pool of $15,000
Beer Festival dates: September 15-21, 2022. Read all contest rules and conditions here: https://duelbits.com/promotions/beer-festI wouldn't join the contest because it's obvious only high rollers will win the contest, I didn't even reach the highest tier in a casino where I usually played for long time, so there's no chance I could reach top 70 players against every gamblers on the world. Maybe it's possible I could reach the top 70 players, but I need to use almost of my money only for gambling lol. It will ruined my life since I can't afford to lose most of my money only for gambling. In the past Duelbits were running promotions for us regular folks too. Like "Slot Master Guessing Game", for example. You shouldn't be a high roller to have a chance to win $200, or $100, or $50 and so on, if you were not the only one who guessed the slot right. It was run by Hhampuz here on bitcointalk, and it was quite challenging, if you ask me. It wasn't rare when not a single person guessed the slot from the first try, and we were moving to another level with a lower prize and easier task. Let's hope Duelbits will run it again. It was fun. |

Betwrong, it's less than 1 month away to the Lambo draw, and I used the recent 4x RP promo to gain a few more tickets (unfortunately in the process busting my deposit lol). You still interested to pool our GTs together? And do you think we should invite others to join in? We can only add people with reputation to lose since we have to trust each other. I can open a thread in discussion Hey, @slaman29. This time I have zero Golden Tickets, so nothing to contribute to the pool from my side. Regarding inviting others to join the pool, I think it would make sense only if we could gather at least 10% of the total amount of tickets. There are 1,423,278 tickets currently, so 10% is an unreachable amount, but why that magic number, 10%, you may ask. Well, it's just a good probability to hope for the win, in my opinion, but, of course you can win with just a few tickets, which is what I wish for you. Good luck, mate! Fingers crossed. |

_after losing $20 you suddenly want to win it back, you should know you are stepping on the wrong road.
That is the gambling spirit. I don't really know why the thing is like that. When you loss money there is another spirit would come tell you to play back and win the lost plus extra amount. ~ I know what you mean. This very spirit keeps visiting me from time to time , and it's so hard to say no, I know. It's so hard to banish that spirit, but that's what we, gamblers, should be doing to avoid painful consequences of following it. ~ if you gamble for gain then that is where you would always enter problem. Not always, but there's a high probability of that. When we say "always" some people may argue that it's a fact that there are many cases of successful gambling by those who wanted to win a huge amount of money. And that's true. In the history of Powerball alone, 393 tickets have won jackpots, many millions of USD each. Also, it's true that people win millions of USD on online slots, but if we think we can be one of them just through being persistent, it only means we can't calculate probabilities properly. |

~And I think poker courses are not really that relevant as people get to know more and develop more skills in poker games if they often play it in casinos. I’m not saying that these courses are useless, but people actually learn more from their own experience.
It can be true of some things, but not about poker. Yes, you could learn a lot from your own experience if you were someone playing 20 tables at ones, 10 hours per day for 20 years, but it would be much easier, and faster, to learn how to play from a pro. Well, actually that is an old discussion and after having played for a long time and having read a lot in poker forums, I could assure that there is an equivalence according to which studying poker is equivalent to many hours of practice. So if you want to learn and advance the best thing you can do is to study and play. In low levels, when you start it is not so important but when you go up levels, and more with how hard the tables are nowadays, there are players who spend more time studying than playing. I agree with you, indeed the combination of learning from the best in the field and playing at the tables yourself is a great formula to succeed in poker. Overall I think if someone is considering buying a poker course, they'd better read this thread attentively and get all they needed from the courses, but for free. |
