3361  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Chat GTP destroy poker on-line gambling??? on: July 22, 2023, 11:40:38 AM
~snip~
Large casinos could create a secret communication between themselves in which they share their experience on the use of AI in unfair play. Because they can't let the players abuse the AI, and this will lead to unfortunate consequences for poker rooms such as the departure of real users.

Also behind poker rooms are owners with large resources that will not allow AI to damage the poker room for a long time
It may also happen between the big casinos so they can get a sense of what's going on in the gambling world. And they can also be prepared for all the possibilities that can occur in each casino. Casinos will use various methods to ensure their business remains safe from the abuse of gamblers who want to win. And don't forget that the casino will also update the system to adjust to the current conditions. The casino may also revolutionize its business into something new to survive in the next condition.
The truth is that,  with what is happening in the trading sector where AI is having a successful ground and making profits on a rapid level where within a weak the record lose is one and all the remaining day in the week remains profits,  if this become successful in gambling and Chat GTP is being used in poker or any other game,  it then means that casino will be losing it for big time since AI is gaining ground.

But if casinos are able to tithen their security by enhancing the bot detection and abuse fights it may get lucky for them to fine out mechanism that could put the possibility of AI success into limitation and fighting to keep the market free from bots.

You want to reduce fuel consumption for your car, read for this. Fuel price is too cost in Nigeria.

https://punchng.com/ways-to-reduce-your-fuel-consumption/

Another is that solar for home is good than fuel generators for Naija. Buy solar.
I agree with you on that,  I got a solar system installed in my home since the last winter and I can assure you that I have not been off light since then,  I generate enough power from the sun that can power my entire house with a smart inverter fridge,  although we have a stable power supply but not up to 20 hours a day so with my solar system have a basic alternative that power my house for the remaining hours that electricity will be off.

For anyone in the remote working and cryptocurrency activities within Nigeria, you need to have an alternative power supply that can power your device for a long duration of time if electricity is gone,  and generators are not the best alternatives right now,  solar has proven to be better since the cost of fueling and servicing is off from solar.

Stake if you have the best chance and percentage that favours you otherwise you are just gambling with your funds and this is something that must be checked,  staking can earn you a perceived income but then also staking without the ownership and control of the assets means you are at risk of losing all the assets.

But recently,  there has been some development that points to the fact that one can now stake directly from your own custodial wallet where you have access to the private key to the wallet where the assets are staked.
3364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 21, 2023, 11:04:16 PM
The Red Devils had better be convincing with their offer to Atalanta. But I think they will start with a much lower fee then the amount Atalanta expects classically. But the Red Devils really need a striker as there is only Martial if we think Rashford as playing on his wing.
Rasmus Hojlund is quite expensive, his market value is €50 Millions, I think Manchester United need to spend  €50-60 Millions. His performance in Atalanta wasn't that good, but his performance in Denmark is quite good and he's still 20 years old, so there's a potential he could develop become a great player.

Manchester United need a new striker, they always lack of striker and Rashford is forced to play in this position.


Actually in today's football 50 million euros for a player isn't that expensive. Especially if that player has a good potential for the future I mean. Besides if the team to pay that amount are rich then they wouldn't even be affected very badly in terms of finances. Manchester United are one of the rich teams of course.

50-60 million euros wouldn't be found enough by Atalanta most probably. I heard that they could ask for 80 million. It feels like the Red Devils can find a middle way at 65-70 million euros to finish this deal. However do they want him that much? We will see that.
Football clubs are just like every other business and just because you have to spend a huge amount on players doesn't mean the player signed doesn't have the right to decline the offer if the condition of the contract is not favourable to the player in question,  because football is a big business and clubs owners including the players are assets of the club so at that we must have to come to term with that reality.

Spending $ 50 million on a player isn't a big deal more also the fact that the player in question has to undergo a series of injuries and treatments to be able to be worth such an amount,  but let's see how things go and how clubs play the cards around.

Ever since the introduction of cryptocurrency, gambling platforms have also switched their operations requirements with making crypto deposit for gambling stake by creating users with online gambling wallet after their registration, they could hold this volatile cryptocurrencies in those accounts and use their fund to gamble anytime they so wish, in so doing this, their coins remains an asset being on the wallet because it can increase whenever the crypto market rises, gamblers now prefer cryptocurrency gambling whereby some developers have also invented their crypto coin their platform could support among others, in which this has made gambling more easier than before to enjoy.
I agree with you because the gambling industry is one of the biggest cryptocurrency adopters and its players have constantly engaged in carrying out transactions in cryptocurrencies which has given them the freedom to make faster transactions without haven't to go through the third-party system that is opposed by the traditional financial systems and coupled with the 2019 covid lock down that have made many gamblers to adopt online casinos that offers cryptocurrency features.

And the coming of the web3 metaverse that has gaming i-gaming experience to transform in a whole new way with contemporary development and advancement aided by blockchain technologies.

Let new or old gamblers who rely mostly on only those paid services beware, because if it's only for me, where do I even have all the time to go looking for prediction groups?
The thing is that most of those that believe in all this paid speculator group service are mostly newbies who don't know how these so-called scammers behave and how their practice and avoiding them is the best possible way to go because if truly they have a working prediction bet it will be easier for them make all the money from the winning why then do they want to get other involved such as taking fees from people to the supplier they make predictions.

In terms of privacy and information sharing, with the current development, we are right now where majorly every online crypto gambling casino are beginning to make KYC verification mandatory, I would say that traditional and online crypto casinos are almost the same thing, since through the KYC, they can now own customers details like address, phone number, document identification numbers, picture and so on, and the bad eggs amongst this casinos might also decide to sell this information to third parties if they so wish.

The one major advantage of online crypto casinos that will forever remain most significant is in the area of deposit and withdrawals, crypto deposits and withdrawals to and from online gambling casinos will always be faster than that of traditional casinos.
Yes, you are right in everything that you have said in the comment because with the AML policy of licensing it has become hard to separate online cryptocurrency casinos from the traditional casinos that we have around because privacy is now gone from crypto casinos and also a lot of problems and demands that we're not available with online casinos are now becoming a mandatory procedure to operates an account with them.

At this point,  we find it hard to truly draw a line between traditional casinos and cryptocurrency online casinos,  because centralized casinos are becoming the most prominent and mandating players to follow the traditional procedures even the deposits and withdrawal.

You have to be careful with what you ask for from random people online because you can get misleading information but then if you ask me for my money-making mechanism is I will tell you that you have to be extremely lucky like me to come from my part of the world and from my family background because we already have a family business that we all run and the company is big enough to employ most family members whoever decide to work with the company unless you have another source.

Another generally acceptable and easy way to earn from this community also is by buying bitcoin and hold in your private wallet for the long term base,  and also practising the DCA approach to stay in profit.
3369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 21, 2023, 09:22:44 PM
HYIP and PONZI schemes are things that make someone interested in seeing the benefits offered by the platform, and that for some people who are easily attracted by big profits, of course, it is a mere deception and trap that makes them lose.

We must think rationally in this regard, and question again whether it is possible to return money in such a way with a very attractive amount, those who see and without thinking, will probably think that by gambling we will get extraordinary profits and can be successful with an instant way through gambling, unfortunately people who have given up on gambling and have their addiction look for opportunities on real platforms that will deceive them and make them experience even more severe failures.
Many have been scammed by those HYIP and PONZI schemes and lost a lot of money because they were tempted to earn quickly. But if they read the reviews of many sites, most of those sites will only run away after the members' money has accumulated a lot and the members can't get any benefits.

And that also happens to those who decide to gamble. They imagine that they can get big wins in a short time, but what happens is that many people lose their money at the gambling table without being able to recover their losses. They really have to learn that gambling is not a place to make money and they are better off looking for money elsewhere.
Off cost, greed has been the major avenue that has led most people into losses and at some point we have to come to term with the reality that nursing greed as a mentality will only lead us into troubles and losses since greed tendency always lead the individual to make some choices that will affect their overall reality.

Gambling with the mentality of winning big is like chasing shadows because you may never cash up with your own shadow,  so it is with chasing big winning it will make you to chase the win with everything within you including your entire balance.
3370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 21, 2023, 08:39:32 PM
As a gambler,I know that we have done so many mistakes in the pass base on our bets and wrong strategy or calculations that we have done which led to losing the game that was suppose to make you win big. I want to use myself as an example,I love sportbet and I bet more on it. Last months I placed my bet on 7 games that was to be played for two days. When the 5th game was played,all matches came out as predicted and I was called by the casino,to offer me a cash out of $200 in my local currency and I refused it because if the other two games was played and the I got the predictions right. I will win $1200,so I turned the offer down. The painful part of it was that the two games were to kick off on the same time,and after the games,my prediction for the two games was wrong. I felt so bad because I allowed greed to control my emotion. For this reason,I having decided that when ever I have an opportunity to cash out again,I will always go for it,instead of thinking that I can win all the money.
So my question is this,as a gambler what mistake have you made when gambling that prevented you from winning big.
Let's discuss.
Even yesterday I was a victim of this mistakes,  the thing is that what result in this situation is greed and overconfident in yourself thinking that your prediction is going all in to win but in the end, the casino always wins,  I made a few games selections in my last bet and when the last match was almost at 90 minutes,  stake offered me a cash out that was almost close to my total winning but I refused to take the cash out but when the game gets to the extra time,  my team lost and that is how I lost all the money.

Out of 5 games only 1 cut the ticket and that really made me feel bad at some point,  and if we have to make a choice and winning is your aim,  it doesn't have to be 100% win making use of the cash-out feature also is a good way to win big out of the bet we already staked.
3371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: July 21, 2023, 08:30:05 PM
        -    Even in our news I have never seen such a scenario where you only deposit a small amount and then boom! the gambler won the jackpot. Because the only ones I hear about are those who won millions of dollars and then the money was released until the account of the person who won a large amount was suddenly blocked.

because when I started gambling the first day I gambled I won 145$ while I only deposited 20$ and I didn't have any problem with withdrawal even without Kyc.

There are ,many gambler that are able to withdraw their fund even if their winnings are huge.  Casinos like Duelbits, Stake, Bitcasino, Gamdom and many other reputable casino platform are able to approve their players withdrawal request even if they won huge amount of money.  Those who were blocked or suspended are accounts that are coincidentally have the same IP or have questionable incidents that trigger the site's security making the casino to implement KYC requirements.
Yes, I have seen someone that withdraws almost $100k from a stake sometime ago and that made me to understand that the limit withdrawal set on most accounts is $5k maximum without KYC but in rear cases, the casino can still allow for huge withdrawals without KYC.

And also some time stake can ask for KYC for a small amount and that ball us down to the fact that it doesn't necessarily need to be the amount of withdrawal but also the activities of the players are also monitored and used to act when and how it necessary.
3372  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The Local Nigerians perception on cryptocurrency and online in General on: July 21, 2023, 07:56:21 PM
Welcome to Nigeria where the system is designed in such a way that people celebrate hard jobs and not smart work because it takes the brain to be able to work as a content creator and more also become a cryptocurrency content creator, so the best way you go around this is to become a guest and disappear don't keep too many friends and don't allow anyone into your business,  disguise yourself and leave below your standard.

Because 9ja hard a bad run up with cryptocurrency and at that everything involving crypto is always perceived as means to scam the user,  because to some people in Nigeria, cryptocurrency already crashed,  not minding how ignorant they are making such assumptions and statements,  so you need to guide yourself if you dealing with such people.
3373  Economy / Gambling / Re: How much time for a Duelbits withdrawal? Been 24h+ on: July 21, 2023, 07:44:18 PM
Multiple gamblers are having problems now though they didn't provide enough evidence to verify their claims. Duelbits needs to provide some sort of update in this thread or in their ANN thread or in their site asap.

You can see that those in figures is not well explanatory the way decimals are being placed, at least someone who wants to put things or make a list should at least try to put things in other.
The figure is pretty easy to decipher and several posters including me explained this stuff already which is why I find it odd that you are still complaining about it.
This delay is not only peculiar to casinos or Duelbit alone but other networks are also witnessing such networks delay and the rest of it likes so if you are contacting the support,  you must make sure to include all the possible evidence that can help speed up your quest and this is why we need to keep evidence as we deal with online platform most especially casinos because when you get locked out you won't be able to get hold of all those evidences to support your case.

So the evidence is highly important in any online case,  another way to place your complaints is in the ANN since that admin in there will help also to push your case forward.
3374  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: July 21, 2023, 07:33:24 PM
Some news about politics and politicians in El Salvador.

 I hope all of you, dear BTT colleagues, are well aware that the fate of the Bitcoin Legalization Law is almost entirely dependent on politicians in this country, and if someone ever replaces Bukele, the new president may begin to repeal the Bitcoin Law.  Especially if such a leader is completely held in the presidency due to the influence of the USA. 
So on December 1, Bukele and the Vice President of El Salvador terminate the powers of the President and Vice President as they will run for a new 5 year term.  On February 3, 2024, elections of the President and deputies of the National Assembly will be held in El Salvador (60 mandates of deputies instead of 84, as now). 
On June 1, 2024, the newly elected President of El Salvador takes office. 
For the period from December 1, 2023 to June 1, 2024, the functions of the president and vice president will be carried out by those people appointed by Bukele. 
Just now, today, the time has ended when the political parties of El Salvador decided on their candidates for the presidency of the country.  They all consider Bukele's participation in the February 3 elections unconstitutional.  But probably Bukele will participate and probably win this election. 

But in general, pre-election passions are now boiling in El Salvador, and the topic of bitcoin has somehow calmed down a bit in their media for the time being.   Smiley

Are you quoting from some other kind of a source delfastTions?  How do you know the above information?  What is your source?
This is unconfirmed news and following up with the preparation of the El Salvador general election the current president is very much in the race and at that, there is no constitutional backing that eliminate Nyib Bukele from contesting despite being the incumbent president who have the upper hand to win this election since his performance and work will earn him the legitimacy of the people in the forth coming election.

And more also,  since the Bitcoin adoption in El Salvador passed through the parliament before it approval so at that it part of El Salvador constitution to retain bitcoin as a legal tender regardless of who os the president at any point,  and if NYIB got replaced I believe that his predecessor will follow his footsteps into developing and shaping the economy to position it for better opportunities as regards to new developments like Bitcoin to sort financial crisis.
3375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: July 21, 2023, 06:45:49 PM
It is highly not recommended to join a community or group that makes predictions because it will only make gamblers experience defeat and from such a group it also does not guarantee victory.
It's better to study alone and try to keep predicting until we can have a lot of experience.

not recommended because it's full of scammers that ask gamblers to pay so that they can get a sure game that enables them to win. There was a situation with one of my guys; he was believing in those gambling groups, and he was winning gradually, not until one day that they gave him a game to bet on and told him to stake it with a huge amount so that the win would be big. He did stake the game with a much larger amount than his usual small amount, but he ended up losing the game, and his money was gone. By the way, even before that game was given to him, he had to pay for it. So, it's not mostly recommended to believe in gambling groups; although I have one of those groups on Twitter that gives games for free, sometimes the winnings are high and sometimes the losses are good. I agree with you.
Most of us already know the limitations of all those sure games predictors because they are all after the subscription and giving the players fake and baseless predicted games selection that has a very low chance of winning at any point and this is why we have to look away from those services that make you pay before giving out their predictions since we already know that there is nothing like sure games anywhere,  but then also we have a few other ones who freely give out they predictions and warn players on the possibility of it and how risky it can become.

More also is the fact that we have to avoid such services that offer any form of services that requires the member to pay a certain amount before they give them free tools,  most of such are scams and plots to take your fee and walk away or offer you garbage call prediction.

This is the first time I am hearing this name I never know a cryptocurrency exchange call bundle exist and to say that they have an affiliation with Binance is another thing I am not clear with because Binance has come out some time ago to deny the operation of any subsidiary here in Nigerians so for this crypto exchange to have operated for 4 years and yet unpopular shows that there have a low reputation and if you don't mind sharing the link to this news to that we can check more details about the exchange and its domain.

A cryptocurrency exchange is something that requires liquidity to operate and since they mentioned a $ 50 million daily trading volume I don't know what the reason for a closer of the crypto exchange at this point.
3377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: July 21, 2023, 04:08:26 PM
What gambling is meant for is to risky your money and that is why some people called gambling as a try your luck, any one who interested in gambling should know the way that gambling is all about risk and the risk which is involve in gambling is basically higher in the disadvantages side of gambling, when looking at gambling its known and seen that gambling the advantages don't use to be much for the way I'm seeing gambling, but basically gambling should one of the game people should be play with carefulness because it can bring people down when you have not know the advantages and disadvantages of gambling properly
Yes the risk of losing all the money is what makes gambling what it is and at most case the reality have done on most gamblers that have settle that within their mind that it is either you win or lose and the awareness of this fact makes it easy for gamblers to face the realities of what becomes the outcome of the games and be it win or lose.

If one is above 18 and haven't the strength to withstand it outcome and also applying the common sense and limitation so as not to go all in at any point.

PSG want to get rid of Neymar due to him always being injured amd due to his extremely high salary. Plus a couple of conflicts and its still wierd that he didnt leave the club yet. I see him going either to premier league or going to the Saudi League i think there arent many other options for him.

I think there is still no club that wants Neymar, in addition PSG does not want to sell it cheaply now many clubs already know that Neymar often has a long injury even though there are some rumours with Premier League clubs but that never happened, for sure PSG will set a high price.

I don't think he will go to La Liga who dares to recruit him? Barcelona? That's not sure because Xavi doesn't need him anymore.
The Saudi League is clear Neymar will refuse despite the high salary, if he goes there then his fame will decrease.
First to be on a team means more than just money or the condition of the player,  sometimes the players may become vulnerable due to one injury or the other it doesn't means that the club will give him up at a cheap or give away price as most people expected to be done to Netmar in his present condition due to multiple injuries all through the last season.

Most of the clubs are indeed making attempts to get their team together against the next season and since the season is about to start Neymar and other players whose contracts have been expired or on loans are all in the transfer market and teams are fishing out the best possible hands to better their lots in the next season.
3379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: July 21, 2023, 02:40:39 PM

anyone deposited very less amount and luckily won a big jackpot like a 100x or 500x or 1000x of base bet and withdrawn without KYC or without facing any problem from the platform?

if yes, how much was that amount? and what was the exchange?

i have seen many people complaining about they don't give big wins easily or just don't give by making unanswerable queries like very hard KYC, freezing accounts, etc. this problem is very common with trusted casinos also/

do anyone withdrawn successfully the winning amount and if yes what was the process, it was seamless or do you need to pass a hard KYC?
This is not only achievable in the jackpot alone but also in sports bets also because if you make multiple games selections accumulating hundreds of odds in total,  I believe one can easily make out something huge if you are lucky enough for all of the games to go according to your selections,  this is why we must not underrate the possibility of any bets be it small odds or a big odds all that is needed to win is the luck.

But also very important is the fact that any odds can fail so most times,  it doesn't matter what the odds are but it is important also to make some analyses based on the odds because teams are giving their odds based on the performance and statistics on the table.

best advice just seek some project that already established and even recommended from arbitrum team themselves i think there are many project that did partnership with the official team i guess, like many has mentioned, there has been history of some dapps that did scam, investing in newer ones just doesn't seem to be worth it over the risk of being scammed.
Exactly because experience with the new waves has shown a lot of scam new hypes that have been going around for a while now but then sticking to the old projects will save you a whole lot because you save your capital investment from getting sucked away by all this scammer that call themselves new projects. After all, 60% of them lack an ecosystem that could propel the project to success and at that, you have to position yourself as an investor to minimize your losses since that is what their systems are set to take from investors.

That is why most market analysts will advise you to stick to only established coins for the long term unless you want to gamble on a few of those altcoins that is when you can pick up a hyped project as a choice of investment.
