I might not have made the mistake you just shared but I think every gambler gave his way of losing owing to simple mistakes that usually become clear when the event have been settled. Personally, I have had countless number of losses that are dependent of mistakes. For instance, there have been days I lose simply I want to get x5 when my favourite could only offer x2.
There was a time I played sports betting and had the bet spoilt by over0.5 goal with an odd of 1.05 even when my mind was telling me to remove that particular event from my slip. I think that mistake is normal and what makes gambling what it is.

Haha, i could understand the part you said you have placed a bet and the lowest odd in sports betting history spoilt the game. I knew there was this full assurance that particular game would play, and it was the one game you had never thought of it cutting. But things goes south when you don't expect them. Gambling can be very funny you know, when you take the lowest risk sometimes it still doesn't end up right and when you choose to take the highest risk it goes right. [/quote Seriously this got me,you might be taking the highest risk sometimes and still lose it over ,it's rather vice versa as it varies alot times. Such simple mistakes results in a higher chance of risk that's worth winning. You aiming for the bigger odds meanwhile your intended wasn't up to that and boom at the end of it you loose everything trying to go for something bigger,the worst mistake that could ever happen to any gambler. We should all be going with the flow and go with a lower bet the chances of winning can be ascertained and again having so much high expectations reducing the chances of winning. |

A sad reality of online streaming that also doubles as a gambling promotion is that it can have unknown consequences with its widespread reach. As it recently came to light, a fan of Adin Ross took his own life. The controversy however was much more than just this fact. The controversy stemmed from the fact that Adin Ross' editor, being completely apathetic to these news of a man taking his own life, called it "old news" in a dismissive tone. Source: https://www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news-rip-him-adin-ross-editor-confirms-kick-star-reacted-fan-taking-life-due-gambling-addictionAdin Ross is one of the most famous streamers in the world right now, with his content having hundreds of thousands of hours in watch time. Of course much of his content is direct promotion to slots games and such gambling. Perhaps Kick should add some limits to how "controversial" a streamer can be in their platform. People like Ross were banned from twitch after maaany violations. What do you think about this? Do such people deserve a platform even on Kick?

The number of suicides due to gambling is really high compared to other suicidal problems out there. This is what they want to influence their audience with and there's nothing to blame with this issue other than this influencer. Personally, there have been times when I've thought about taking my life but I always remind myself that it's just a bad day and for sure tomorrow will be different. I want to quit gambling but I can't. I don't know why. Hopefully this won't happen to me. It's really alarming seeing and hearing such all the time,they know they can't afford it,they will go into it,they can't gamble responsibly they won't adhere to,they know what gambling is made for they won't buy into it.and that's what is resulting to them commiting suicide cause they must have gamble with a huge amounts or probably loan from anywhere just to keep up the game but they end up loosing as well as commiting suicide cause they feel there's nothing they should live for again as they must have gotten that big loss. But this is not the right and best way to keep going as a lot of gamblers will keep falling victims,it's a decision making game that involves discipline to oneself,I don't gamble this way and I have control of it ,but like you said you want to quit gambling it's a hold decisions to take cause akot of people keep saying such,nobit won't happen to me until it surely will. Like they say make hay while the sun shine,make a decision earlier rather than regretting later on. |

Hi everyone,
Gambling has become very popular in the world , especially after the changes that have occurred over the years with modern technology and the abundance of games, we can now gamble with one push anywhere and anytime . More money is flowing to sites and casinos in huge quantities, and everyone’s goal is to win more ,As is always known, if there is a loser, there is a winner, and I don't think that the percentage of losers is greater than the winners .
Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
Hi everyone,

More money is flowing to sites and casinos in huge quantities, and everyone’s goal is to win more ,As is always known, if there is a loser, there is a winner, and I don't think that the percentage of losers is greater than the winners .
Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?
Sincerely speaking you can say that but I think the percentage of losers is greater than the percentage of winner's,I said so because alot of gamblers lose to the casinos in cause of staking and wanting to play bet,most times the odds might be against you as you aim to get a win,some gamblers have been unstable in respective of the fact that they lose each time they do so and it has made them to be irresponsible and addicted gamblers base on the fact that they are trying very hard to win and cover up their losses. So with this I'll like to tell you that gambling is not a place to make money or neither is it a place to lose it,but it's otherwise a place of Fun, excitement that's why it's advisable you stake what you can afford to lose and with no regrets. |

Do you feel sad when your favorite team loses a match and the bet (if you had placed a bet on that match)?
It is part of every sport where a team loses and a team wins the match. A team is happy and a team is sad, not only in cricket but in other sports too like basketball, volleyball and the last best sport Football.
Also, a match isn't considered a loss but if that match is a final, semi final or such a big match for example between two rivalry teams then it will be like this, but at the same time for us, even if the match isn't important in the context of the series but we place the bet and lose it, it's our lost booked and there are no second thoughts about it.
When your team wins you have happiness. Everything goes wrong including your mood and emotions if the team on which we place the bet loses the match unexpectedly.
We'll loosing a match or bet will eventually alter your moods in every way,it's just like growing a plant and watching it grow gradually and when you think it should put fruit,it dies.its going to be a total disaster to the planter so it's likewise same in the game of football and betting as well. Sometimes when you feel your teen is going to win and in the long run they end up loosing,not even getting up to the finals,it will be so sad,as one will be in a very bad state of mind.i usually watch my friends do so often times when their term looses,some might not even eat for some days cause of the heartbreak of loosing but it's not right to do so as your ought to enjoy the fun that the game brings not injuring and hurting yourself in the process. |

Have anyone ever had confidence in any match that he was willing to be huge amounts to back up the confidence in a match that features his club. A friend of mine recently shocked me with how much passion and confidence he had in his club, man u vs liverpool that happened on Sunday I guess was a very hard match cause Liverpool was already stomping 0:2 to man United but my friend was telling that man United won't lose the match, so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
I can tell if this that yes alot of people usually do this and it's not like they aren't matured or responsible enough to do so but they did that because,they had so much passion and love for their Fans and also they do that cause they can as well afford to loose that said amount. But this is the reality of life that you should be discipline in your dealings so it's not advisable to put over confidence to this as most times it might results in something not confidential anymore.By the way ,me I don't see it as a foolish move,but hehad so much faith in his Fans which has led him stake such amount . |

The cost of living is as a results of various economical challenge.In a nutshell,the dollar rate has increasingly made the cost of living threathening and unsafe for us.As the value of the USD erodes due to inflation and other factors, costs of things also rise, thus inducing a higher import cost for businesses and trade. This means that when the dollar appreciates, other currencies essentially depreciate, making the world poorer and less able to engage in trade. It also makes countries that have dollar-denominated debt less creditworthy, as it makes it harder for them to purchase the U.S. currency to manage their debts. https://www.reuters.com/plus/how-a-strong-dollar-affects-international-currencies-and-commodities |

it's not up to Putin to stop the war. one of the parties has to surrender for the war to be over or simply just peace talk and accept the condition of Putin since he has the leverage to give the condition. Ukraine also will not accept the condition of Putin since it's going to appear NATO to be weak for they are the ones backing the country. there's the reason for war to continue.
blackrock does have a plan to rebuild Ukraine which they bid an enormous amount of money but if Putin controls the country that money won't be going to Ukraine.
The Russian invasion literally has incalculable effects on the European stability and governmental policies. Everyone wants the Russo-Ukrainian War to end, but it is unusually not easy to maintain peace and order and it is to be achieved is rather not clear. Easy solutions rest on unrealistic assumptions and impossible efforts. The case for reaching a compromise with Putin rests on the assumption that he wants and needs peace and that he isn’t really committed to destroying Ukraine and Ukrainians. https://thehill.com/opinion/international/3943927-impossible-and-possible-solutions-to-the-russo-ukrainian-war/ |

· El Salvador became the first country to make bitcoin legal tender; not only must bitcoin be accepted as a means of payment for taxes and debts, ...bitcoin currently serves as means of exchange.
El Salvador took the step of adopting Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021,without a second thought with the goal of promoting and assisting citizens livelihood.
The government does not recognise cryptocurrency as legal tender and will take all measures to eliminate the use of these cryptocurrencies in financing and economics.The government are not in full control of bitcoin so they wouldn't want to make it a legal tender.Even if they don't want bitcoin to influence and popularize over fait as a currency;that is a legal tender,they should make its usage available,accessible and acceptable.

The cost of things has gone up so much so that it's glaring. Imagine paying 5-12$ for an average meal you could get before for 3$. The jump cost is extremely high. Cooking a meal at home can cost you the same amount you would spend on eating in a restaurant. Funny enough people still afford all these things without complaining. My anger is that we make money to spend it all into our normal life expenses. It's difficult now to save or invest unless you part of the rich people in society. An average man has to just eat, pay bills, and survive.
The cost of living is incredibly trying to kill the living and we are all living in this irony of insecurity.Its so scary and depressing to wake up every morning with the feeling that ones life in invariably no more guaranteed confidently. I always tell people that even with the current difficulty and hardship in nations presently,people will always look for ways to cope and cater for themselves.I honestly don't know how they do it,but its so encouraging and mindblowing to discover how people are still able to survive this precarious challenge. Even with the inflation of prices and goods,salaries also go up.Like some companies have engaged in an increment in their employees salaries and wages,but even with the sudden increments of payments,it still seems difficult for people to live up and meet up to thier desired living standards. Its disheartening to find out that there won't be any improvement sooner or later.The life is all about planning,and those who have chosen to make efforts to eradicate and get rid of the difficulty they wish not to experience are the ones to survive. |

Without us, the Bitcoin that Satoshi created wouldn't have reached success. But without Satoshi, there wouldn't have been a Bitcoin that we are
all supporting right now. So in this sense I think we are all equally important Satoshi and us.
I think it's just a play of perspectives, but in general we can't really say we are more important than Satoshi. In the same sense that we can't also say that Satoshi is more important than us. As far as Bitcoin is concerned Satoshi and Bitcoin's supporters are all equally important.
Interesting,it all a matter of collective efforts from both parties like you've clearly mentioned it here.We both have roles to play,and so far,we've literally deposited so much support,attention and interest for bitcoin. In one way or the other,we're seemingly meeting up to the standards and level of importance that satoshi has worked for all these years and I don't think anyone would want to disembark from attaining or achieving more from bitcoin.On behalf of bitcoin,let's all increase the support and forge ahead for more successes with bitcoin. Its indeed worth the time,effort,stress and energy. |

Satoshi could be gone,but he's not forgotten...!!
I still try to figure out why bitcoin enjoys this factor called"Anonymity".I think if satoshi was or he's around,he'll have to answer to many calls from mediahouses,journalists and many other talkstream channels.
Satoshi would be too pressured with the critics and crisis that'll eventually commence in the society.
Bitcoin's creator,Satoshi Nakamoto identity and location remains undiscoverable and untraceable.Although the guy remains an unknown figure,but his ideas and intentions to create/invent bitcoin remains a lasting development in the financial technology.
Bitcointalk is the ideal and absolute guide for most bitcoin users.It's an open source of network for information and educational system.
Bitcointalk is a public forum where blockchain enthusiasts, bitcoin developers,bitcoin users and crypto investors discuss topics about Bitcoin,cryptocurrencies,and blockchain in general.
Bitcointalk has greatly contributed to the growth and stability of the financial technology in particular,here in bitcointalk,it accommodates first timers and experts both young and old,it creates from for learning,improvement and knowledgeable personal contribution for the forum and members at large.
Bitcointalk,is indeed a place to be,its a place where the crypto industry has gained so much popularity,dominance and reputation.it has promoted and birthed so many other crypto channels today.

Bitcoin was designed to be "electronic cash". Nothing should be changed in core that does not support this mission.
The title of the Bitcoin white paper - "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".
I clearly don't understand or see the features.Like what are really the features you're deliberating over;what features of bitcoin do you speak of?Are you saying that the decentralized nature of bitcoin doesn't make it valuable or it's ability or feature of not been In case you need a reminder. Bitcoin is a digital currency that can be traded for goods or services with vendors that accept Bitcoin as payment. Bitcoin (BTC) is a digital or virtual currency created in 2009 that uses peer-to-peer technology to facilitate instant payments. Bitcoin is a decentralized digital asset and It is a new type of asset that joins the ranks of traditional assets such as cash, gold, and real estate.If bitcoin is an electronic money or cash,what are the characteristics of money/cash in particular.It serves as a means of exchange,and store of value.That means digital money like bitcoin would initially possess the characteristics of cash.These features are what makes cash and electronic cash valuable,these currencies will be a total disaster and total waste of time if they lack these features that'll help it useful. |

Hey guys how y'all enjoying this bull run? So something got me thinking after reading this news about Blackrock filing to get more BTC for their Global Allocation Fund. Y'all can read the news here, it's a minute or 2 minute read: https://cointelegraph.com/news/blackrock-buy-spot-bitcoin-etf-global-allocation-fundI mean, the funds coming from ETFs are really showing its worth. I can see the excitement on everyone's faces that bought BTC. I also have benefited a lot from it, engaged in different events like the Welcome to bull run on Bitget, some farming airdrops on Binance and many more. But then again, do you think this might back fire on us in the longer term? We all know what these men are all after is to be in control and that's why BTC came into reality cancelling all that making everyone their own Government of their assets. Blackrock seems to be very interested in participating in bitcoin's activities,and it seems like most persons are not happy with this blackrock intentions and exposure in the crypto industry. BlackRock had previously launched a blockchain-themed ETF, a clear signal of intent,and since then,blackrock has announced their partnership and involvement in the crypto industry. I don't think they have bad intentions in trying to be noticed and popular through the crypto space,Although,many people admire,proceeds and anticipate the positive influence of blackrock in the crypto industry.If blackrock is aiming at an inappropriate dominance over bitcoin,I think they should reconsider their subjective intiative. |

Yes it is ideal but again even with extra efforts,
one can only do so much with what is given to them.
Some people still have responsibilities that they can't
leave behind and deadlines to be met. It's also not ideal
to have some debt just to invest in crypto because it's too
risky either way.
Yes we should do everything in our power to accumulate Bitcoin but we should not also be reckless and irresponsible and impulsive when making decisions just to invest in Bitcoin.
We only have a certain amount of energy, time, and space in our lives,and when these factors are not properly exercised,they practically leaves traces of guilt,fear and loss.Living with less can be a better option when you're trying to cut your spendings and live without much worries from financial pressure/problems.. It will be exciting and a good choice to recognizes the value and importance of Bitcoin, but also accepts the existence and usefulness of other cryptocurrencies in general and there should'nt be an alteration to the preferred system.Investing is a choice,and its Also a journey,so in order to be able to accumulate more,adopt a long term investing approach and equal interest. |

I would love to see commercials like this on television here in my country in the coming days or months, because unfortunately, I didn't see one before or even today. I wish local institutions or even big time crypto traders and enthusiasts here in my country will initiate the the same move to create television commercials for Bitcoin. It will help people get educated and get the benefits and potential of Bitcoin and of course also it has impacts on adoption. I can only see gambling platforms being advertised by local artists that is far more worthless in comparison with Bitcoin.
Bitcoin is increasingly becoming interesting these days,making commercials for bitcoin will make it even more interesting and educative for crypto enthusiasts. For example,social networks that advertise and market crypto activities will promote the growth and influence of the crypto industry.This method totally upgrades the network and access of potential customers and users and even exposes it to a larger volume of audiences.If running commercials for bitcoin will Generate many people and promote exposure to a large extent of users who literally knows the significance,then there wouldn't be an issue for its adoption. |

Anyone who is familiar with digital bank? All I know is that, unlike traditional bank, they do not have the bank building hence saving them from all costs related to it. In my country, they are offering higher interest rates returns compare to their traditional bank counterpart. Anyone knows the reason why they can do that? Also, what is the pros and cons of using digital bank instead of traditional bank?
Online banking usually comes with low fees charge for transactions,Digital banks offer major advantages in terms of service availability and feasibility,and they provide 24/7 access to ones businesses and online activity by offering full online services for their clients and customers.Digital banks as the name implies,they're quicker to adapt to newer technological system that corresponds to the digital age in the society.In one way or the other,digital banks have similar benefits as bitcoin to fait and its so fantastic to notice the positive impact they offer. I don't really know about any negative feature of using an online bank.One of the things that make them offer higher interest rate to thier customers is because of the exhibition power and impact that they intend to introduce.Consider bitcoin as an example,bitcoin saw the challenge people face with fait banking system and it eventually came to rejuvenate and transform the living standards of people.Online banks are offering useers what traditional banks are unable to fix,thereby, online banks are using their counterparts lapses to outsmart traditional banks in customers engagement and popularity. While digital banks offer several advantages, traditional banks still have a significant role to play,normally,there is supposed to be an existing one that operates to other people's choice of decision and convenience.But digital banks are recently taking over in my country. Majorly,the inventors of this online banks have initially suffered and endured the failures from traditional banks,so that's where the change emerged from. |

A huge majority of cryptocurrencies are scams, but not all are scams. A cryptocurrency dropping in price(or going to zero) doesn't automatically mean it's a scam — it can also mean that it simply just failed. Just like how a lot of businesses, companies, and projects(startups) can fail.
It might be true that there are genuine and reliable cryptocurrencies but how can they be identified. Are there some indicators that might prove that they are not fraudulent or scams? The sudden failure and disappearance of some of these coins are very fearful and discouraging. And from all indications, there are no cryptocurrencies that have the same attribute as bitcoin. That's why I have always discouraged people from investing in other coins. Bitcoin is decentralized and it won't be fair and proper at all for bitcoin to lose its genuineness and confidential feature just like that.In essence,bitcoin,amongst all other cryptocurrencies has proven to be different and free from all fraudulent activities.And i still find it diffucult to understand why people will still and always want to determine the value of other cryptocurrencies knowing full well that they're not bitcoin.It is people that unfortunately get themselves involved in bitcoin that are scams.They'll prefer the investment that comes to easily without making enquiries about what they're trying to get themselves into.They could be good cryptocurrencies too,but they seem to have failed in the process.Investment is a choice,and the investment platform is another choice and bitcoin says it all,so let's all be guided. |

I agree with pinggoki, you can't force other people to have a same life like you because what you think good isn't always good for him.
Yeah I know I have a same perspective like you, saving is a must for me, but some people think when they die, they won't able to bring their wealth to heaven, so why they need to save and we can't even know how long we can live.
Even if my best friends spend too much money for unnecessary stuffs, if he didn't ask about money management, saving or investment, I won't comment anything.
Just make sure that you don't get involved in all thier activities and personal affairs because they'll eventually act like you're trying to control them,give them instructions and manuals on how they'll live thier lives. Its not really easy to be around a person or be friends with someone who's this adamant to advice and good decisions making.Because every moment spent with them is equally time consuming and a total waste of efforts. Every self-made decision has either a positive or negative impact to ones wellbeing,and these days,people struggle so much with decision making that they end up with an unsatisfied decision |

The art of Parenting is one critical responsibility that plays a great role in shaping the kind of people we have in our society and sometimes in the guise to effectively train our children, factors like, at which age we expose them to our investment and resources become a difficult decision we have to make.
Some parents have denied there children access to a lot of privileges because to them, it will be a major distraction and this could to a very large extent make the kids to feel unloved and might birth hate and hurts in their heart.
There had been cases when parent invest into project without letting their children know about it and then they suddenly die and it becomes a difficult situation trying to figure those project out and some extended relative might even deny the child access to it.
Is it right to tell your children all the investment you've made even when they're not yet matured enough? If no, At what age should they start knowing about those investment?
So many parents are not concerned about the lack of financial education of thier children.The best way to prepare your children for a future without been much stressed and incapable to money and their spendings is to prepare them with every financial advice and education. Most times,parents see it as a waste of time so they render limited knowledge and access to the financial literacy rate their kids are expected to have.It's true they said the earlier the better,but once a child is 18,it means that child is legally allowed to participate fully in activities that'll benefit his/her existence.An 18-year-old is considered a full-fledged adult with rights and responsibilities. Eighteen-year-olds can vote and sign contracts.Hopefully,financial literacy can be introduced without any second thoughts. |
