281  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The person who can’t control emotions in gambling will never earn money from it on: February 20, 2024, 01:00:46 PM
Many don't just get it, I doubt if they are really into gambling like they say, if you are someone who have power over his emotions tell us how many times you have won when you are gambling, have your control over your emotions make you always win without losing money?

This is not the solution to losing money in gambling, in short, there is nothing you can do to avoid losing money in gambling, it's either you stop gambling for good or you limit the amount that you want to be losing, because trust me, losing will come to you and you should be expecting it, you can't escape losing money.

This is what many gamblers are advising against on here, lower your risks in gambling by lowering the amount you are planning to use, this is the only thing every gamblers should start to practice, there is no other way than this, if you want the best feeling when gambling, lower your risks.

Have different devices for different purposes, this is the solution..

Do you have a PC? Get extra, keep using the old one for surfing the web and downloading stuffs and use the new one only for storing crypto and logging into trusted websites, if you have any crazy experiments in mind, perform it on the old PC, if you have a website that seem unreliable, open it on the old PC, when some or introduce you to something, try them out on the old PC.

Leave the old PC for every garbage, and leave the new PC for verified sources and information only, install Electrum wallet and trusted wallets on the new PC, and don't ever move anything from the old PC into the new one.

Your bank account and money related things must be the only thing you use the new PC for, if you want to join airdrops use the old PC, if you want to claim some giveaways use the old PC.

Scammers can't be wiped out, they will also always get advanced everyday, be careful what you click on, through emails and Telegram, avoid strangers online at all cost, freebies kills investors more than anything, don't get greedy.
283  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: February 20, 2024, 10:42:21 AM
There is no way you will gamble and not lose money, there are few times to walk away from gambling to start calling yourself the most favoured gambler, that's if you try out gambling for the first time and you won very big, enough to make you walk away and never look back.

Some will have less wins in their gambling history and lose more money, even when they keep using small amount, by the time that years have passed they will realize that what they have won isn't up to the amount that they have lost in gambling.

Everyone won't have the same result in gambling, and it's possible that most people will have awful result, this is why gambling is not a reliable way of making some money, learning a skill online and rendering your services can net you better payments than gambling, but if you want to keep gambling you must keep using small amount.
284  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What game will you choose for one shot big bet? on: February 19, 2024, 01:09:09 PM
Hypothetically, if you are down with 90% of your bankroll and you want to recover all your losses using your 10% bankroll with one shot bet. What do you think  is the most logical game to do this kind of bet that will give you a x10 bet on one try?

This is hypothetical question which means answering a reasoning like you should save the money, stop gambling and etc. is not allowed because this is not real. The intention of the thread is determine what type of gambling game typically being chosen by players as last resort when they are losing badly.

Answer with specific game and explain why.
I'll go with slots, actually I have done it before, down $1000 dollars, one like big shot for me, I have $100 dollar left on my bankroll. And so I did $10 spin, I didn't get into the bonus round, but I was able to hit 3 wildcard reels and it give me also $2000. But I did continue to gamble, left myself with $1500 and something inside of me telling to continue, however, I got into my senses and decided to went home at least with still a win in my pocket. Although for sure you know what happen next, I gamble it all everything in the next couple of days and lost everything.  Sad. Why slots? just like that, it's a risk, but if luck comes into your side that time, then you can recover and hit some.
That feeling of "what if" is punishing in gambling, after winning, gamblers will still feel like there is more, this is what I hate the most about gambling, but I don't blame gambling itself I blame people who aren't able to control themselves when gambling, the greed that consumes them is strong.

Base on my own knowledge I believe that football bet should have upper hand on luck base than Slots because you can rely more on analysis,  still possible to lose money but football is far better than slots, I could be wrong for some but if you are a big fan of football you should understand why I choose football

In football, most predictions have come to past, but slots can't be predicted, you only get what you get, you can't even predict what's coming.
285  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't trust your old wallet of when u had no Crypto knowledge on: February 19, 2024, 12:08:15 PM
This is the best advice I've read today, you are indeed very correct, I have used my old crypto wallets to do tons of stupid things and that's because I can remember this, I have claimed to many airdrops with the wallet, sign everything I saw online, no single free tokens escaped from me, I was 100% active and ready to earn free money at the time.

Imagine someone who did this, as a beginner, what do you expect? I was having a very good time learning about crypto, today I announced that such wallet can't be safe, because I believe so, I was just too carefree back in 2017, I am sure that the wallet address is already poisoned.

That's it, today I will like to advice any newbie to get a airgapped devices instead, but they should first take their time to learn how to safe guard their crypto wallet, even if its a hardware wallet you can do so many stupid things and still lost your assets.
286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling between the past and nowadays on: February 19, 2024, 11:01:29 AM
Technology always advance every year and in the case of gambling, things took a drastical turn in the pandemic days, no one will dare leave their home and visit any casinos and that's where many new online casinos get into business, it's also the time that online casinos are becoming successful.

We have less addcited gamblers in the past compare to today, because in many country there are people who got Stamped as a gambler, and many start avoiding locations, they don't want to be seen in a casino.

According to my father, in the olden days you can't ask a daughter from a respectful family to marry you, they will do some research and make sure you are not a gambler or else you won't be able to marry the daughter.

Gambling is like a mud dirt on a white T- shirt, almost everyone will start to avoid you, and only those who are also gamblers like you will be around you.
287  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make use of what you disliked because you can't stay away from it. on: February 19, 2024, 10:05:23 AM
I opened a betting account today (don't have to mention) but when I bet on their virtual games, they don't have the kind of options I am expecting to see but only provides more like only 4 options which are home win, away win, draw and over. So I bet if I could win but luckily for me I won ×2 of what I deposited, then I withdrawed the funds and mailed them to block the account because I don't find anything suitable for my liken but they replied me saying they can't and I have to make use of the account until 90 days before they can block the account.
However, it's my money and they can't force me to use it, so they have to block the account. I see that the only way to stay away from the betting account is not to fund it again.
So can anyone force you to make use of what you don't dislike?
It's not making a lot of sense to me, you are able to withdraw your money, or am I wrong? Why are you complaining about them not blocking your account? Since you are able to withdrew the money you should look else where, find a online casino that have everything you want in a online casino, but don't force them to block your account, it's pointless, you are the one to stop using the casino and walk away.

Unless you have noticed that you are developing an addict for gambling? If this is what'd going on you should be open about it, we can help a little by giving you some advice, but right now you have not even accept to be a work in progress addicted gambler.

Avoid moving your money back into the account, you should be good, if you are feeling tempted then quit gambling for now and spend your time with something else, find someone closer to you and explain your problem to them, this will help faster than anything.
288  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: February 18, 2024, 11:13:21 AM
Many people have the energy for hard work but they lack knowledge about progression, I understand this perfectly, and in today world it's better to be more smarter than becoming a hard worker, just been a hard worker doesn't pay in today's world.

It's even better to be smart and avoid hardworking, yes smart ness can bring you the changes you desire faster than brute forcing through everything, any hard worker with no sense will fall in the foot of the smart people and the smart people will use the hard workers for themselves.

There are people who ask others about gambling and from the answers they got they choose to avoid gambling, that's without giving it a try in the first place, they just decide not to have anything to do with gambling, that's because they did their own research and findings first, and what they get is what they are not prepared for.
289  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Post quality matters than replying fast on: February 18, 2024, 10:52:08 AM
Most shitty posts on the forum are always in two lines or three but there are few members that can make a very short quality post, it doesn't matter if you have something good to say, everyone who want to reply to a post must have had something in mind in the first place, either fast or slow doesn't matter.

Every newbies and beginners have their first time experiences, we just need to encourage them to keep making good posts, some newbies will even sound like they did their bests, it's only a matter of time, I believe they will get better, a bad member (spammer) must have been corrected many times already before they are given the ban hammer.

I am not bothered about fast replies, is the fast reply making sense? That's all we should care about, by the way, how can you tell if someone is very eager to reply to your post or not? I will like to know, because anyone can be called a fast replier or something.
290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 18, 2024, 09:31:22 AM
When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?
It's forbidden because it's religion, the believes are real and proven, you can't tell me that you've never seen or hear about how a family fell apart because the man that was supposed to be the head of the house is a addicted gambler. Morals and beliefs are very important in religion, prophecies are real and facts, I believe the words of the Holy Bible and some facts from the Holy Quran too, even if these books are fake, what they are saying is true, I believe in God.

I've seen strong men that handled gambling like it's within their control, on the long run they messed up, they fell for the addiction and it affected them massively, it takes the grace of God for someone who get addicted to get out of gambling addiction, it's not something we can call easy.

The person needs to face the addiction by themselves and also some people close to them, all these can be avoided if you try but religions forbids it because not everyone will
291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you stick to some Casinos or do you try out new ones? on: February 18, 2024, 08:19:48 AM
What do you think? When losses after losses keeps unfolding, it's easier to think that the fault is the casino, and trying another one out will be reasonable, sometimes your new try out will be worth it and sometimes it won't.

Just do it if you feel like it, this is not a crime, who knows what will happen anyway? I've done it several times and sometimes it helps, sometimes the likeness I have for the casino will make me come back, but there is nothing better than taking some times off first, and come back to see how the week will play out.

I am mostly fine with what I get because what I am risking isn't even worth screaming about in the first place, just a few dollars around and most times I lose it, but believe me I don't care that much, it's gambling, already meant to lose the money, I always go the lower I can.
292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Escape Debt with Gambling: A Dangerous Cycle on: February 17, 2024, 02:48:52 PM
Sounds stupid to me, if you believe that you can pay your debt with gambling don't rely on it, I will still advice you to risk only what you can afford to lose in gambling, most times, when people try to use such strategy I like calling it debt with debt, because it's sure that gambling will bring you more debt when you are trying to settle a debt with gambling.

You can't escape debt with gambling, you are just looking for more problems for yourself, it's highly likely that you will end up in more troubles because remember that you will also risk money when gambling, imagine that you keep losing all the money in the hope of making money, and you later find out that all the money you've risk is so much, enough to pay part of the debt already?

This is what happens to most gamblers that plan to pay debt with gambling, it's a wrong method, because you could be calling for more debt on your neck, gambling is nothing but luck dependant.
293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 17, 2024, 10:54:52 AM
You are correct, if someone very young becomes addicted to gambling he or she can erase is dreams in life and go the route of gambling thinking that it will bring them everything they needed in this world.

When things start happening in a way that they don't expect, they might not quit, they might keep pushing harder until nothing works out like they wanted, and this could change them completely, starting all over again in the real world will be so hard to do.

Gambling messed with the mind and the way we think, only if you allow it, but if you are someone who already knows the odds of getting lucky in gambling, you ain't going to ever fall under the rug for gambling, I would rather get addicted to my career in the real world, as a fashionist but not gambling.
294  Economy / Gambling / Re: What would you like to ask a crypto casino owner? on: February 17, 2024, 09:43:46 AM
This could be a nice conversation for players.

I think I would like to know if there is percentage of winning rate for players per day between the casino. Because most gamblers believe that the casino has an edge over the gambler so getting such question across will also make the owner understand that players are already feeling biase with their winning chances.
I am not sure that they will want to disclose this out in the public or to anyone, they will probably ask you if you own a casino, it's a very suited question from someone who also has a casino.

The truth is they make most money than the gamblers, a successful casino can fund a whole state or even a country, that's why the government have no issue with casinos, they are paying their due very well.

It's easier for a gambler to have a strong believe that they can get rich, a casino don't need to think about this, because they are the ones giving gamblers the chance, even when they knew perfectly well that the chances that the gamblers will win is very small, it's crystal clear that they will always make the best money out of gamblers.
295  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Learn how to read crypto market charts on: February 17, 2024, 08:28:47 AM
It's not a bad idea but it's also not necessary.

I believe this idea of learning how to read charts can be stressful for many people, including me, I don't do this every time unless I want to do few trading.

The most peaceful easy thing to do when investing in crypto is to avoid reading any chart and hold for long term, it will work in your favour when you accumulate your best projects in a bear market and take profit in a bull market, I don't see anything as easy as this.

A long term holder don't need to worry themselves at all, it's a long term goal and it's the best thing that works in crypto space anyway. Unfortunately, many investors are always in hurry to make money, it's possible to make some in a short term, but nothing beats the long term investment strategy.
296  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Learn from other person's mistakes on: February 15, 2024, 11:07:59 AM
Advising people to only keep a large amount of funds in a cold storage is a waste of time, you will see someone who will claim that they store thousand of dollars worth of asset in a mobile wallet and nothing bad happen for many years.

Some even claimed that the difference between a hardware wallet and a mobile wallet isn't much as you only need to keep your recovery seed safe, let everyone do what they like with their properties and assets, I have learn to stop telling people what to do, what could actually go wrong if they don't listen?

People only learn after they make mistakes, let's allow mistake to be the teacher for everyone, it seems like this is what they need.
297  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why we need to stay vigilant on: February 14, 2024, 11:35:16 AM
There are too many stupid people in crypto space this days, a clone website is easier to detect, the link is always different and even if you have no clue about which link is right or wrong, beginners only need Coinmarketcap or Coingecko to stay safe in crypto space, as these two websites will always direct you to the original links of every crypto projects and crypto exchanges that you are seeking for.

When a newbie comes seeking for knowledge through me, I always give them coinamrketcap and coin gecko, because every projects ate available there and also they consist of the safe website links and the smart contract of the tokens.

Instead, people this days will just believe that all they need is finding answers using google search engine, and this search engine have lead many people astray, they will show fake website links and ads and newbies will sign up through them only to get scammed later.
298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a social or casual good guesser make better gambling prediction carrier? on: February 14, 2024, 10:51:48 AM
They can, if they know how to manage risks they will be fine, but don't expect such people to always be correct with their predictions, predictions always have two possibilities, wrong and right.

I will advise you to just learn how to be a responsible gambler first instead of you trying to find the best guesser, moreover, is there such thing as a best guesser? Because when something is labeled as best it means it never almost fail, but in gambling you will surely fail, that's why lowering our risks is the only way to be in gambling and avoid hurting yourself.

In gambling, stop comparing yourself to anybody, because they are just like you, we are all trying to find that luck in this space and only those who can keep doing this without hurting themselves will be the best gambler over others that are succumbed to greed.
299  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Responsible Gambling Practices Most People Ignore and Sleep on on: February 14, 2024, 09:41:45 AM
You first need to erase the idea of getting rich with gambling from your mind, to practice the act of responsible gambling is to expect too less of gambling.

After that, you can then proceed to using a certain sustainable amount only for gambling purpose, to keep this going for you for many years in the future you need to time yourself when gambling, what this will do is limit your attachment with gambling.

This is like a virus, because I have seem responsible gamblers going AWOL after few practices, and I figured out that they spent more time in gambling, you want to get rich? Look else where, have the hope of getting rich from something else, not gambling. If you can't do these it's better you leave gambling behind.

He will keep losing more money, they always do, the gambling fever is all in your friends gut, I believe there is no way to safe him from this, the only solution is forcefully restriction, by some family members, make him see reasons, it might work.

The best solution though is if he is willing to put a end to his gambling addict, because at this point he is already addicted to chasing his losses, that's why I introduce force restriction, and someone who he respected so much in the family needs to approach him and talk some sense into him.

I have seen this work, if not I won't bring up the idea, there was someone close to me that was relieve from his gambling nature because of what the family did to him, they forcefully take gambling away from him, locked him up and invited a uncle who is like a father figure to him, and there is a rumour that his person only listens to his uncle from his childhood days.
