301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 17, 2024, 11:55:04 PM
This season is going really tough for the top three clubs, this is why we have seen alot of pressure to top the table and remaining stable on the table at the moment, Asernal seems to be at the top but with a close point with the reining club Liverpool all through this season, I am sure the next few matches for all the clubs will be a determinding factor for the remaining days of the season.

Manchester City on the other hand even though their are the defending champion, their have remained quite a bit below the average expectation and now that ti.e is running put and with their current point their may possibly not make it to the top again in this seasons and they may have to give up the titles for the first time in the last two season's.

Hi community,

I remember when I was in middle school, we used to play cards almost every day, and our stupidity reached the point where we would skip classes while we were inside school. The method of playing was easy, as the largest number was the winning card. So, some of my friends and I would gather in the middle school bathroom and make bets with the money that we had collected  from selling cigarettes.
Of course, this is not something I am proud of and I do not recommend it to everyone, but it's just childhood memories .

-Have you ever bet at the wrong place and the wrong time?
I have not been into physical gambling rigth from time, and even up to this extent I hardly take part in any physical gambling I can watch others playin6the games but me myself don't gamble in that manners, but then I have experience alot of strang gambling before to the point that some guys plays card in front of the police station meanwhile public betting could persecuted in my country.

Although at the end they know how to sort themselves out with the police, to me believe that that is the highest wird thing to do, I also a remember another incident that happened when I was serving youth service in the northern part of my country,  where some students usually jump school fence to go outside to bet on cards staking real money.
303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake and Bruno Mars An Example of How Gambling Addiction Can Affect Anyone on: March 17, 2024, 11:37:57 PM
While we often discuss Drake's well-documented struggles with irresponsible gambling and the "Drake's Curse", it's important to be aware  that gambling addiction can affect individuals from all walks of life. In this regard, let us take a moment to look at the case of another celebrity, Bruno Mars, whose gambling issues have manifested differently from Drake's.

Several internet sources today has reported that Bruno Mars borrows money specifically for gambling purposes, this is one thing that goes against one of the  rules of responsible gambling. Bruno currently owes 50 million dollar in gambling debts. I am not going to bore you with the detail. Therefore, I will leave a link to the full story - https://www.nme.com/news/music/bruno-mars-is-reportedly-50million-in-debt-due-to-gambling-3602329.

The lesson to learn is that gambling addiction is not respecter of Gender, economic status, race, nationality, religion. It will mess you up, bring shame and disgrace to you if you don't abide by the rules of responsible and do all you can to avoid it.
Guess he better put out another hit record real quick and get that debt settled. These celebs can make up that money real fast by doing some commercials, making a record, getting a starring role in a movie or what not. Whomever lends them the money feels like they will be repaid.
Yeah may be Drake should feature Brumo Mars ia hit song really quick let have that American and Canadian mixture may be he will generates enough royalties from the song to pay off the debt because its likely that he may be waiting for a while before he alone could be inbthe right frame of mind to compose any hit song right now, I have known Bruno Mars to be a slow artists and that is why he could slid into this present state.

I thought as a supper star he should have hard a deal with one of those casino's out there just like Drake and the rest of other artist's are doing all over the world today's.
304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A call to self-examining our gambling habit. on: March 17, 2024, 11:26:18 PM
I just want to add that if people want to make "self-examining" much easier, they should put reasonable rules in place when they are gambling, doing this would make it easier to find out if you are starting to have gambling problems, what I mean about it is if you keep breaking the rules you have put in place then it means that you are having trouble following it and you might be suffering from a gambling problem.
There is nothing like self examination when there is no rule that is put in place to check the activities of the gambler,  in this way while you keep check of your gambling,  you are at the same time following a new patten that will place you in a better position in your future gambling.

Those rules will help a gambler to have a lay down principle in form of a blue print to follow through with,  that is very important for every active gambler if you ever want to gamble safe.
305  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana officially flipped BNB and is the world's 4th largest crypto by valuation on: March 17, 2024, 11:00:00 PM
Solana have indeed rise significantly in this bull run and also to a far extent we have seen a hug surge in the traffics to  solana as a project and from what we had and have seen the token is already beating some coins that are in his category e.g BNB which network have suspended sol network due to Hugh volumes.

This is a significant moment for Solona and most of the old investors will be cashing out their profits by now, and much more so it becomes a viable assets to hold against the next bull market.
306  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 17, 2024, 10:47:37 PM

The truth is that when a gambler is addicted to gambling, he's very likely to make decisions that's not going to be beneficial for him at that moment because most of the things he'll be doing be will mostly be influenced by his desire to satisfy his gambling addiction. Loan as we all know is mostly taken by people who are trying to invest in their different business endeavors and not to use them for gambling but when a gambler is addicted to gambling, taking loan from any financial institution just to fund their gambling activities won't be a big issue for him.
Most times gambling addict takes this decisions unconsciously and can't just help themselves. Gambling addict have caused so many people to take decisions they would never take when they're completely stable and that's why we as a people must continue to condemn gambling addict and also preach about the consequences of gambling addiction
When it comes to gambling addiction,  there is no limit to how far one can go and that is the reason you see some gambling addicts going as far as taking loan just to gamble with and with the hope that they will win and there after recover.

Addiction is a high pressure thing that put the gambler on the higher risk of wanting to earn more by risking all, this is why we always preach that gamblers should take gambli6as an entertaining and fun and not with the aim to hit a jackpot or trying make money off it at any time, because trying to do so you may be putting your money at risk and also making you to become addicted to gambling.

Bruno Mars if this is true then I can say that is in a disaster stage right now, because as it is, he have exusted all his money and at the moment he is leaving on loan, this is a very critical situation for the once super star, this is worst state compare to that of Drake because drake have alot going for him and he is also an Ambassador of several casinos, this make him to have access to large bet even if not paid for as devident of his ambassadorial state in the casino.

And also we have not hard anywhere that Drake have been call out for owning a casino or seeking for a loan just to fund his gambling tendencies, Bruno Mars is already in the state of mess if all this becomes true,  and the reason we alway preach against gambling for money or being greedy in gambling,  all that can lead a gambler into debt on the long run.
308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: March 17, 2024, 09:18:19 PM
I think, the price will decrease before it will start increasing to hit $100,000 before the end of december, because the bullish season is still on in the market which many holders has testified the huge income they have received when the price of Bitcoin hit $71,984 few days ago. Even though the price want to decrease in this month of march it will not decrease below $50,000 before it will lead to the road where all those holders that is waiting for such price to come before they can sell to get ready to make a huge amount of income. The correction was massive in this year, because many investors doubted it based on the level the price ended last bullish season but the price cross above $73,000 in this year bullish which is the highest price investors have ever experience from the market.
For some reasons,  I believe bitcoin have already hard it Routh market time, and the last dip that we witnessed in the market may likely be the last before the taking off of the main bull market which is expected anytime after the bitcoin halving which may occur in this month or early April,  and in the last week we saw a sharp decline in bitcoin price, and that took alot from most weak hand who thought the party is over for bitcoin and then sold up they holding for panic of more dump, bit now we can see that bitcoin is gradually recovering back and in no time it will cross it previus all time high which was barley a week ago.

Anyone who missed the last chances to buy bitcoin at discounted below the all time high may likely have a hard time to jump on going forward,  because there is alot of positive outlook for bitcoin market already and there won't be much chances to get on from here going forward.
309  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC go back to $40K - $30K range before a bigger rally? on: March 17, 2024, 09:06:20 PM
I agree with that. I think none of us would want that to happen but as you said nothing is impossible in this market and we have seen such things happening in the past. The greed index does show positive signs but the chart is showing something else which is why I wanted to discuss and gather the views of the community on the matter.
Even though we don't want that to happen but if it does, that will surely be a great opportunity for all of us to buy more before the bull run if we have missed those prices previously.
The fact that bitcoin dropped sharply to around 65k doesn't mean it can drop to as low as 40k or even 30k, that is too way down the road for bitcoin at this moment,  alot have changed and to a good extent we may likely see a more resistant market outlook around 66k to 70k before the halving which is already almost here, so for sure bitcoin won't slide down to that base level price reality not now and not anytime soon.

We are at a critical stage and point for bitcoin and this year 2024 holds to many events that will push bitcoin relevance high and the buy appetite also will be high so selling off that can cause a dump in price is some how very far at the moment.
310  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: March 17, 2024, 08:31:22 PM
Well, the truth is that if some type of casino changes its rules, that for me represents a violation of the rights that you have as a player, because you cannot do things like that by changing the rules and without being able to accept the rules, because in a clause they can put it in a very crazy way to never win, just so that the casino benefits, and being in a casino playing something like that is equivalent to cheating, rape, theft, worthy of a casino with bad influences, in fact, in this case things They can happen differently if the casino participates and wants to change the Tos the players have to accept the new Tos that the casino changes, that is the correct and legal way.

I hope you remember that some of these gambling platforms also used to state it on their policies that their rules are subjected to changes and they will ask you to acknowledge that you have read and understand their conditions of service before accepting the approval for your registration while at the point of signing up, and all we do is to check the button and click yes even though we don't read anything.
Well nit some but almost all the casinos have that column in the terms and conditions that states that all the rules are subject to changes from the casino team, so that law give them the right to change any rule as they want without having the need to consult anyone, this power have been misused many times by those scam casinos,  in the sense  that sometimes they just chose to violate the gamblers right and when the case is against them, they will go to change that part of they rules that back the gamblers to favor them, and at the end the walk away with the gambler funds and there is nothing the gamblers can do about that, many of the scam casinos have done this before and go scout free.

That is why, the moment you register on a kyc casino, you should at least go through the verification process and get your account verified before you make any deposits or play on the sites, this way when you win big, the account wont run into any trouble with the casino and there will not be room for them to manipulate the process since the account is already kyc verified.
311  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: March 17, 2024, 08:23:05 PM
taking loans and gambling despite having no money in their pocket etc. Because of this, it is better to keep yourself under control and play limited gambling
We think that of all the mistakes that can be made financially is to ask for loans to be able to do something else with that money, a person always lends money thinking that it could make a difference, that is, if they lend $2k they will leave with at least $3 -$4k and this or so, things in the casino work differently, and when they lose the money they lent, things get worse, because not only do they not have money to play, they do not have money to pay the loan And apart from that The player has a family, children, we must add the problems he brings in terms of food expenses, maintenance, and apart from those expenses that have to do with services, and this becomes stress, pressure, something that can make him A person loses control and does not know where to get money from, this is the only worst thing that can happen, because it is already a minimum step to enter into addiction.

Apart from this, when a person has gone into debt like this he cannot demand that things turn out well for him, because he has to get involved in more days and more things that become more complicated as time goes by.

Taking a loan to gamble with is far too many risk to take as a gambler this is because most times the results of such moves have always ended in the negative which could be traced to pressure to recover from Previous loses and at that when you build that capacity to take loans at frequent it becomes a habits which will later translate into addictions on the long run, so many of those wrong thoughts that you can make up for what you lost or being able to make some gains on the long run, from a loan will always end in frustrations.

So it best to decipline yourself to the point that you can easily walk away fr9m gambling when you already exusted your set aside funds and to a point that if you don't have any left over funds you walk away instead of taking loans to gamble with, that is not wise decisions unless and only those who are already addicted to gambling will go that legnt just to satisfy the urge.
312  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your state on mind if your son stole your money to gamble? on: March 16, 2024, 09:45:23 PM
If I where the woman, since the deed has already been done, and is obvious that the son have lost the bet, trying to get him refund the money will only lead to more crisis for both the boy and the entire family because he may be pressured to provide the money by all means and by that be forced into stealing from others to be able to pay back and in the process ended up in a bigger mess.

So the best thing for the woman is to look for another way to prunise the boy aside making him to pay back by all means, and also again  the son should be stripped off of all allowances until the mum have recovered 100% before anything.

I don't know what could have triggered the boy to act in that way, but most times, such behavior could be a reflection of something that could have generated from the parent, may be there have not been proper training for the boy and he may have been left to fend for himself all the while to have thought of gambling means he have been independent all the while.

What type of investor will buy a whole 100 bitcoin and forget about it just like that, I don't think this is a rela story, because even though you bought the bitcoin when the price was a few cent, I still will be important for you since at that point what attract most investment is the beauty of the technology.

And in few months to year from the early days, bitcoin began to gain some massive traction which caught the attention of many that should be forgotten just like that, between you have t9 remember something if you really hard those bitcoin way back.
314  Economy / Gambling / Re: My betting strategies on: March 16, 2024, 09:19:58 PM
You didn't clarify what sports or games your talking about but I think its football from the points you gave out, I think everyone checks out club performance before they make predictions but strategies sometimes can fail and you can lose.

Building strategies are good but doesn't guarantee winnings, but I can help you create a pattern that cam help you make better decisions in gambling.
First thing first, football is the only sport games that many of it players can easily analyse the games and come up with something that could be said to be near accurate strategies though it still does not guarantee a 100% winnings, and this is what make for the most of what we ought to see as a strategy,  s9me time because of the ability of the gamblers to analyse the game of football and come out with some accurate speculation of the outcome of the games makes it seems easier to predict and repeated at some point since one can point to which club will win a match just by analysing a few of their past games and what level of players they have on board the team compared to the opponents.

Form such informations the gamblers can then be able to predict what will be the results of such match involving those teams, so sport is best for a strategy even though we may not likely see a 100 percent working strategy in football.
315  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: March 16, 2024, 08:37:08 PM
The party to 100k was a bit delayed at the moment with the recent market correction it obvious that we may likely rely long in the under 100k region for a while may be we may likely have a slow climb back to that price in the second quarter of the year, but for now I think we may likely be in a the same region for a while and best time to accumulate more bitcoin as we await the halving effects to come along slowly and with time.

Bitcoin have made ever positive marks that it intended and those that  have made use of the top to take profits may likely be in a good position right for a while, but for now, it is all wait wait for the discount price to be touched to at least buy back.
316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Simple mistake that makes you lose everything on: March 16, 2024, 08:23:25 PM
There are many mistakes that a gambler can make, the most common mistake that i have made is when i play football betting and so many of the games have gone in my favor and just a few games are left, but i have the chance to cashout and take some money out of the game, but i choose not to and lose everything. Sometimes not cashing out when you can is being greedy, it is better to take some money out if you can, than to come out with nothing.
9ne thing I have realised in gambling is that, there is notlike small mistakes because every mistakes leads us to more hurts and this can and will impact the gambler in the most negative ways possible, for that we need to work to adjust to the level at which we can easily bear the risks that Co.es along with our decisions, this is what makes us smart gamblers, and we should try as much as possible to act al8ng with the reality of taking a calculated risks.

Some times we may think that we.are taking the right steps when we make decisions during our games but at the end it leads us to more loses and most of the time gambling requires alot of time and patience to be able to cash out at the right time with at least a minimal risk and loses.

in circumstances he is i would have sold whole thing right now. He begin to spend his luck now i think

So from your own understanding now, when the market is bearish we should rush to sell and not to hodl, this is a very wrong practice and those that engage in such only end up being losers because they cant afford to make profits when its expected of them to hold and wait till the market rises, we are still having more bullish trends ahead than we are sing currently and we can also consider the rate at which bitcoin is going to be at the pace of running towards a new all time highs as many as possible before the end of this month, we shouldn't focuses on bear alone, we have halving ahead as well which is to give more hope for bull markets coming.
Sometime you don't blame people for how they analyse the market and take profits,  sometimes most of those people that make such statements are all doing so based on their knowledge a d approach to bitcoin holdings, sometime they after the money and could easily take profit and walk away but for someonwho have been around the market for a long time such short-term market movement won't worth being considered to risk your entire bitcoin holding on and at that, you can easily look forward or look away from the present bitcoin price and focus on the long term profits and the confidence that comes with long term bitcoin accumulations.

Anyways, there is no point trying to spoon feed anyone about the the advantages of holding bitcoin for long term, since we have seen from past records already how bitcoin have made several significant moves and recorded alot of positive price benchmark each time.

319  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 16, 2024, 07:45:47 PM
Chasing after lose will only lead to having disappointment because we obviously can't win over the house, when we are gambling, we should be more focused on the fun and not the money to win in gambling, this is not like the businesses we do that we wait in anticipation for profits, we should view gambling as a means that create an atmosphere for having pleasure, that is why we cannot afford to gamble with the money that is not our own or the amount in which we cannot afford to lose.
Many times, gamblers who are battling with addiction shares their stories and at some point, they all point to the same direction as reason why the slid into addiction which is chasing their loses, this is why we oftentimes warn gamblers not to chase after loses, and should understand that in gambling its either you win or you lose and any time you lose, you should be bold enough to accept it and walk away for a while, and  before gambling again and you should not gamble more because you just lost a bet and game.

If one can have that strict compliance to the rules of engagement in gambling,  it easy to stay free and out of any crisis for whatever time that it choosen to keep gambling,  because when you either chase after winning or loses, you will eventually lose more at the end there is no two ways about that.
320  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Question about an unreleased GameFi project and its token launch on: March 16, 2024, 04:39:15 PM
I have no idea I what the project looks like but for sure I have experience with alot of Gamefi projects and how their tokens performed in the past, although it is best to use them to play on the platform rather than taking them as an investment because on the long run most of them usually run out of energy to continue with the market volitities.

So for sure the best time to buy them is when the are launched on the exchange and the price is still very low, that way even if you sell later you can still make some gains and if the market refuse to rais due to lack of liqudity also you can still get your money out since you bought at the bottom.
