In fact, those who bet such large amounts are usually not a average gamblers. They certainly have a big earning source.

Such gambler is not a new comer in betting. He must have been trying his hands on it for long and in fact considering the amount used, he may be a steady winner that has seen gambling as a business and increasing his stake is not a problem. For real risk takers in gambling, it is a chance to increase there wealth, for example the rap star, drake has huge appetite for gambling and has done several with stake.com also winning very big wager
2902  Economy / Economics / Re: Scarcity of money on: March 20, 2023, 07:06:08 PM

Is affecting so many countries in Africa, America and Europe, the rate of unemployment, insecurities and corruption is becoming alarming by day.


I think you are not correct to group all these indices of a failed state or country as to affecting America and Europe because they are not severely felt in the manner you likened it there. I believe you are majorly talking about Nigeria and african at large. The scarcity of money in Nigeria is a result of the government cashless policy but if that is objectively planned to grow the economy is debatable with the corrupt elections conducted and producing illegality all through the positions to the presidential. So the scarcity of fiat for now is particular about Nigeria and not America or Europe. However, printing of new currency has not been a solution because it will increase inflation rate.
2903  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Top 3 Reasons Why Cytpocurrency Gambling is more Addictive than Fiat Gambling! on: March 20, 2023, 03:36:09 PM

Although fiat online gambling users are more than crypto ones, they tend to visit an offline casino after a few online sessions as they miss the atmosphere of an offline casino.


The popularity of online casino is growing fast because of cryptocurrency that has been introduced to it and soon the paradigm will shift that more gamblers will detest playing off line.


Quote
Whereas cryptocurrency casino users would always be loyal & habitual which makes them more addicted to gambling than a fiat gamblers. Below listed are the three reasons which I think make them more inclined.


No casino players are not loyal, they are only playing on their preferred casino, they are playing to win and not to be loyal. Everyone wants to win



Do you guys think my assessment is to the point or do you think there are more reasons related to cryptocurrency gambling addiction? Please go ahead and reply to this thread. If you have a valid point that I think is related to this thread then I would add it to this topic.


Well some of the reasons are cool but I don't think Anonymity is the reason because reputable casinos are driving gamblers to KYC making them disclose their identify which is not the purpose of cryptocurrency.

Personally I think one of the major reason is the speed of deposit or withdrawal without any third party. That could be addictive that because nothing encumbers a bettor from depositing so a gambler is at liberty to always refund anything he runs out of coins. The speed of deposit delivery at 1 confirmation is more comfortable than playing through fiat.

As a gambler will you bet on such fight,when you know that the fight is fixed and the outcome of the fight is not for real,or will you go ahead to bet for fun?

It is not really for the fun that people bet and some people are desperate for money as far as there would be expectation of money. Fixed fight are scripted making it strictly as luck game. I don't bet unreasonably so I may not do a crazy bet as such. WWE is not a realistic game or sports because it is manipulated.
I understand that this topic exist already.
2905  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How my lack of knowledge has blinded me so far on: March 20, 2023, 08:15:29 AM
To be honest, i dont understand why some ppl so mad at KYC... and would like to know opinions of who is against that, just to understand an their view.

You don't need to be mad at those who don't like subscribing to KYC enabled casinos, they have there own reasons too. Such reasons are not far from the nature of cryptocurrency against fiat which is decentralization and that in itself suppose to mean from of interference through blockchain. The liberty that cryptocurrency is suppose to guarantee is interferred by KYC. Cryptocurrency takes out third party involvement in all levels guaranting freedom and secrecy of hodling and identity. These are major reason for those people and introducing of blockchain is defeated using KYC. This means the casino using KYC are regulated in the jurisdiction that they are operating either by gambling laws by the government.

-so the question is, is it justifiable for the CBN to use anti-graft agencies such as the EFCC to arrest currency speculators/p2p Exchange?


Arrest bawo  Grin lol. Sometimes I go dey think say whether the people wey seat for government seat no sabi think? Because most of us know why our naira dey fall yakata. When I mean government seat I mean in fact the number 1 seat wey be the president because na there everything end as far as Nigeria kind of democracy dey concern and this is unfortunate as the legislature and judiciary dey subsumed under the president not even the executive. We know say na because the level of the rate wey dollar demand dey increase dey high since we no dey produce anything even toothpick self and people need dollar to take buy imported products. People also dey jakpa, dem also dey carry enough dollar join body abi na politicians wey don dey hide dollar now no be even naira again. APC distribute dollar for this election, in fact no dollar for banks as we dey now. So parallel traders or P2P merchandising no be the problem because dem go also operate according to the economic theory of demand and supply.

The solution na to dey produce somethings den it will reduce the pressure on dollar and so many things go naturally fall in place by demselves. This na common sense but these people no want gree do am, then allow Obi nko dem still dey form jagasomething.

Although you are still a newbie but you should have taken your time to read and understand casinos that are reputable on the forum before registration and betting. The warning have been there for all to see but it is a stubborn fly that keeps perching around until it gets killed, this is a simple proverb to say you didn't heed to the warning against them now you have a bitter experience to that effect.

Wetin you expect the government and CBN to talk? Dem pass law wey go help the country currency recover,


My broda no mind these people oo because dem no do the naira redesign to favour me and you on to say make the currency recover, all na lie but na just political stunt wey dem try and whether e work or no work na dem sabi. If we dey even talk say the redesign na for say make the naira recover, I go still talk say na lie. No be redesign of currency alone be the reason wey go make currency get weight, at least the economy for dey thrive before whatever policy on top currency go make sense. The countries wey dey do redesign already get better economy but Nigeria wey me and you dey no get economy to talk about. No basic amenities wey we know like electricity, road etc and no economic growth because na only consume we dey consume, even agriculture wey we suppose dey do well, boko haram and cattle no gree farmers breath, which one we go talk? The economy engineering of the society is in shabble, na the matter be that. So if dem like make dem go cashless, redesign the naira etc that na to just punish the people more because the economic indices wey go allow the economic policies grow dey use leg waka enter sambisa  Grin and no body fit waka go find them come out as peter obi try say make him help dem no still gree.

2909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical gambling and internet gambling which is more fun. on: March 18, 2023, 06:31:08 PM
When I was growing up, I had a lot of experience gambling on games like:
---arm wrestling
---card game
----PlayStation competition
----dice
----animal racing
----food eating gamble
----playing soccer
So I thought I should drop here and here some of opinion of most advance gamblers with lots of gambling experience.

All these ways of gambling still exist physically and off line except for just few like arm wrestling and soccer especially international games. You are right that in the past it was majorly physical gambling but things have to change with time and most of the games have to be programmed for different people internationally to enjoy which is one major benefit of globalization, people have to enjoy what others do in their locality like some jurisdiction don't play these games physically but they now have the opportunity to enjoy them online.

Most of the games are still gambled on physically like I still see people doing food eating gambling at parties and you could see some posted on line  Animal racing is still done especially during festive period. Friends still gamble with dice and cards on hangouts or hid outs. People still have contest on best play station player, so the games still exist physically and programmed also both in blockchain.

To all victims: Could you send me a PM with your email address and / or User Id and the size of the amount with which you have been disadvantaged. Please also indicate what exactly happened so that it is easy for me to make an inventory of the case. If the claims are valid, I will personally ensure that all victims still receive the crypto they are entitled to.
The domain 1xbit.com is still available, but only for administration. All new players are automatically redirected to 1xbit1.com of which we are now the new management.

To all the victims: Please contact me with PM.
Mark.


This is coming too late in the case it is true that the scam casino has taken up by another management. Of course bettors who suffered scam from 1xbit have moved on and probably deleted their proves after they denied not scamming people. Your post is now a prove that they were scamming innocent people and nobody will immediately believe your claim that it is now genuine from what it was known for. Unfortunately, people will choose to keep playing at the casinos they are now having guarantee of being paid.
2911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The journey of successful business man who were professional gamblers on: March 18, 2023, 09:45:37 AM
We also have to know that there is a link with family history or genealogy with gambling. For example a father who is always gambling is inexplicitly or by implication teaching and introducing the children to his trade and source of income and this means the children will always find themselves around the corridor of such business. So apart from other business investment, someone like that will likely go back to there route. Therefore the link between family business and history should also be x-rayed in these names mentioned and others who have succeeded through gambling. The passion built over childhood is always directional to how successful we are to what we do. They may not have stumbled into gambling but have been built over the years through it and it is not about fate that they went and have succeeded in it but either they had already capital they could toss around with on gambling just like other business endeavour.
2912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free sports betting tip on: March 18, 2023, 08:47:49 AM
The OP stopped? I`ll miss him, he gave some interesting predictions about unknown leagues. With the big matches he had lots of mistakes, but i liked small leagues.
PS. Possible situation that the OP will create a new account and make one more try.
The last OP was active 4 days ago but that doesn't mean he will make another account even though I will miss him too, it's normal if it fails and there is an error in the prediction, after all he only gives tips and I don't think many people follow his tips because people are more like to bet from his own analysis, lol
BTW, I'm still waiting for the OP to come update this thread again

And maybe that is the thing with free tips? I mean you don't know when the next one will come. And specially if he has some bad tips and so people might not follow him any more and so he stop it.

So for now, it's better not to wait anything from the OP itself, and we should make our very own bet and parlays on our favorite sports , just saying.

If he comes back with fresh tips then good for us, if not, then we better move forward with our own.

The only free tips that you can assess anytime you want them is to search through the already established websites and select or choose for yourself with your personal analysis linked together. It is easily accessible because they have found a niche through it as patronage and royalty go to them through different means especially from adverts so that they can get more energy to sustain it as they generate traffic to their sponsors. Also apart from the free view of predictions, some of the sites also have paid predictions tips that has to do with special kind of registrations attached with money so that you can get more sure bets, that is how the prediction games work and they don't do this all by themselves, they recruit workers to help so that the games or predictions come out as at when necessary that keeps the site running and the advertising companies get patronized. So with this, can op sustain the free tips? For now Op has not updated his predictions and matches have been going on over the 4/5 days ago. He may just be busy with other family affairs  Grin
2913  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today on: March 17, 2023, 04:55:09 PM
How will bitcoin that is now @ $26+++ per coin help to eradicate poverty? What means can that happen? You mean by investment or what means if I may ask. Poverty means you are not able to help yourself as an individual, so how much do a poor person have to invest in bitcoin and grow it to an extent to make huge profit and how many years can that be, 4 years, 8 years or 12years depending on the time of halving? A poor person barely feed from hand to mouth and won't have savings for investment. How much fraction of Satoshi you need to invest thereof.



Before I forget, if you stop corruption, most nations will become developed. The government must be sincere and give its citizens freedom to choose their economic paths.

Yes it takes government sincerity to introduce policies that will help the financial growth of the people, like non interest loans spanning a long time. To take people out of poverty the government will have the political will to put her foot on the ground and eschew nepotism, corruption  etc
2914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: March 17, 2023, 01:43:40 PM
The match between Arsenal and Sporting was very competitive. But I couldn't believe Arsenal would lose like that. I expected Arsenal to seal victory during the game but it didn't happen. Sporting brilliantly leveled the game and took it to penalties. In the end, Sporting secured victory on penalties. This defeat is very embarrassing for Arsenal.
Believe it or not, that's the reality that Arsenal is already feeling now so that it makes Arsenal and their fans feel very sick because they have to lose on penalties. This is why each team should not be underestimated because anyone can make unexpected surprises in a match and I have to congratulate Sporting CP for being able to beat Arsenal to go to the next round. Now is the time for Arsenal to stay focused on the Premier League this season.
Arsenal and Sporting CP match yesterday was competitive I thought Arsenal will be to win the match but Sporting CP equalized the goals and take Arsenal to penalties and win.Overconfident makes Arsenal lost their game yesterday,this lose will them serious in premier league or will make them focus.and one thing is all Arsenal fans is weak because of yesterday match Arsenal lost.

It was a painful match yesterday to see that arsenal allowed the game they had in their hand taken away from them by sporting. It felt like a joke when the levelling up was made and I knew penalty was nobody's game and for any body. Arsenal can only lick their wound now and get up soon. Such is the game of soccer if you don't take your chances.
2915  Economy / Economics / Re: Has anyone felt lost in pursuit of financial freedom ? on: March 17, 2023, 11:51:39 AM

Being financial independent and sufficient is everyone's dream. However, have you thought about the losses in exchange for the material gains ? When you barely make ends meet, you'll bust yourself to make more money; when you actually make a lot of money, you'll find yourself in a position that is either stressful or boring. I wonder the purpose of making money can be easily distorted and sometimes we tend to lose ourselves in pursuit of money, instead of happiness. Just a fleeting thought, no big deal.

There are two aspect that your post is touching and one is the economic theory of human wants being insatiable and the love of money by humanity. For the economic theory, it is a fact that no matter how wealthy some people are, they will still look up investment and this is more glaring to what we see today. The society now has a standard for glorifying and classifying the level of wealth that people have and ranking which makes top ranks in society to strive to remain in the position. So because of the vicissitudes of life and it challenges people keep searching for more to better there lives and as you rise in life, your class strata increase and your needs increases proportionally.
2916  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as number one choice: The legal tender for breakaway/newly formed nation on: March 16, 2023, 04:18:16 PM

As crypto currency possess possibilities of earning opportunities for those who intend it as a means of income or for almost any facet that require its Blockchain technology, only but fractions of the population right now would survive and be masters, should there be new nation's breaking out and considering adopting Bitcoin as legal tender,

I think the direct benefit of income earning shouldn't be the major reason for country to adopt the use of bitcoin as legal tender. The technology of blockchain should be in focus rather than immediate financial gain. Like the example of El Salvador that legalized the use of bitcoin, the report available doesn't show that such investment by the president, Bukele has been successful at least not for now with the bear market. It is not that the plan or investment in bitcoin wasn't noble in itself but because bitcoin is a volatile and fluctuating asset, it has to be a bull era for the investment to grow (same as hodler) From the information so far, the investment is classified as a failure like I deduced on the volatility of bitcoin but certainly when the bull return, I believe the worth of investment will improve but not in bear depending on the price bought.



I think Bukele used DCA  , buying at different times and batches but price is yet below investment area


or should there be a world disease/virus/zombie apocalypse. It would make sense because the old money systems are really either obsolete or have become insufficient to cover concurrent expenses due to inflation.


These times are when the advantages of bitcoin is exploded. Like during the COVID-19 that social distancing was the order of the day, bitcoin became more important which saw the price steadily increasing since it was on high demand. This buttress the point of technological relevance and not only for pecuniary gain with the example of El Salvador above.
2917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: March 16, 2023, 01:28:05 PM
In my opinion, I think referral bonuses are typically waste of one's time because of its processes that seems so impossible to claim


How do you mean, you have to be an established affiliate marketer or advertiser for you to really enjoy the huge advantage of referral bonus. You can't compare a new gambler who has not been using referral link to an old focused referral user that has built network of friends or followership. Referral bonus benefit you more if you have been established. It is not difficult to claim if your downliners are active and have done necessary registration or KYC as the case may be. The system for referral bonus is automatic if all necessary registration has been completed.

I wish to know if anyone has successfully claimed referral bonuses

It is not about claiming but you have to be sure to follow up with who you have sent link to for them to register with the link and if they complete all registration, I think the bonus should appear in your bonus account.
2918  Economy / Economics / Re: With the present economic outlook, do you think that this is good advise? on: March 16, 2023, 07:54:10 AM
My father always said, "Those who can work with their hand, can feed their mouth" ....now, even if that was good advice, I still believe that a third element are needed in that statement.... which is, "brain power".

Let's make an example ..... Who is getting the most money in any organization? ==> CEO or owner of the company. The workers are very important to his or her success, but the most money are in managing those resources. (using your brain and not just your hands)

That said, even CEO's or Owners of businesses has to start from the bottom, so they have to get the skills to manage other people around them.  Wink

Your father's philosophy was right at that time and it represented the phenomenon of that age also, that is the era before and slightly after the French revolution of 1789 and preciding the reinassance period where financial achievement where majorly based on physical presense and ability and the Europeans had to rely on the blacks and africans to work on their plantations through their expedition (if not called slave trade).

However your example is apt and it represents the new generation where financial independence is not judged by physical presense or attributes anymore but on how one can use the "brain power" to positively manipulate his environment for the comfort of his or her being. Skill acquisition is not just what has to do with capital and establishment of business but proper control and monitoring in the absence of the physical presense that was the game in the past. So now you see company owners taking advantage of modern technology to extent that you have your money working for you while you are asleep.
