3381  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: $1,080 Billion powerball lotto winner in the USA on: July 21, 2023, 01:54:48 PM
Just how lucky you have to be to win such a big amount. The winner probobly dosent want to wait and just wants the money. Even when the winner receives half its still too much money. But still the tax in the US is just to large. But still i guess the winner just wants the money. If it was me I would stay anonymous until I receive the money and hide it as much as possible. It can be risky if someone finds out that someone won that big amount of money.
One of the things that online gambling have brought us is the fact that we can maintain our anonymity as much as we can and still be ok with the whole outcome of the event,  even if you win a million dollar from gambling only you will know and your privacy will remain intact, unlike traditional casino where the third party like a bank will get involve and landing your winning with heavy tax that will reduce your total income from the winning.

But then if the lottery decided to promote their brand winner how then do we expect the ops to hide his identity since announcing the winner on national and other news outlets is part of the prize-giving ceremony?
3382  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How Sells or Buy influence the market value ? on: July 21, 2023, 01:41:11 PM
So now a question arasie in my mind that how this proccess manupulate  the market? I wanna know some details from you guys.

Can you rephrase your question? What do you mean by 'manipulate' in this case? They sell the BTC on the open markets hence there's downward selling pressure. What more do you want to know?
I wonder what else folks want to know about large sell-off rather than a temporary price fall which will be an insignificant proportion to what the total Bitcoin being sold off,  and if the US government decided to pull off their seized Bitcoin to support their inflation-afflicted economy trying to save the USD from sinking.

Even at that,  this current Bitcoin price pullback is a kind of correction that will propel a more robust Bitcoin price in the coming weeks,  since Bitcoin has sustained this price benchmark even with all the market pressure.

I beg my pipu,I dey vex for the way things just dey scatter and inflation dey high everyday by day. Tinubu wey some people say na him dem want, say him go fit change things for the country to make am better,come join dey make am worst the more. Imagine three months never reach Baba remove fuel subsidy,remove education subsidy and still go apply for loan say him wan use am pay poor Nigerians 8k for 6 months. Yesterday,I dey watch news come discover say fuel wey them say no more subsidy price from 530 run reach 630,I ask myself say how come. This make me dey wonder say make I ask this question since na all of us dey the country together dey see as things don dey  go ever since. My question be say for Naija na who dey make things dey spoil the more,shey na our Nigeria police or Politicians or we the citizens. I beg give me your reason.
If you are living in Nigeria and you earnd your money in Niara then you are in to faced alot of this inflation and even if you dont earn naira whatever currency tou hold by the time you want ro purchase goods and services the impact of this bad economy in our daily business and prices will still eat up the money and touat the end will end un the same cycle.

But still it is better to earn in foreign currencies in this economy since the exchange rate is high you will be able to make out big amount that you can use to pay off the inflated goods in the system, when I mean holding foreign currency what I mean is e.g Bitcoin,  dollars and Eauro this is the money exchange currencies and for that, their value against the Naira is still with a big difference.

So work hard and get paid in those coins that have greater value than your traditional currency.

The only time I did this was with betcoin.tm, a now-defunct gambling website that has a wheel that you spin to get prizes. This was in 2015, and I managed to turn 0.01 btc to 1.5 btc in a single-day, though I had to wait a week for me to get the prize as they are 'validating' the win through whatever means that they did. It was quite a fun process to win that amount although claiming the win isn't. Most casinos nowadays will take a few days or even weeks for them to release a big payout out of a small amount. If anyone ever won that today, and get their prize without problem, it usually is from an amount that has deposited a lot in the casino and has a reputable standing on their platform.
Men that was a lucky spin in my opinion, turning 0.01 BTC into 1.5 is something that needs to be remembered even after a long time, I hope you did not spend the Bitcoin at that time, because the price of Bitcoin at that time will be very low compared to now that the value of that amount of jackpot culdrun unto millions of naira in my local currency, so that is indeed a big win in for you that you cant truly forgets easily.
3385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: July 20, 2023, 09:37:08 PM
and I within a few days grew to hate betting in casinos a little and preferring to do sports betting for a while after that painful incident.
A little hate or are you disappointed because you don't trust betting instincts? it must be painful, almost everyone will be fed up with the decisions we make. It's just that rather than moving to another bet, in my opinion, it would be more effective if you rest mentally for a moment, with conditions that are quite unfavorable, of course you will continue to be overshadowed by that moment. As if to bring yourself back into the same game to pursue something big


Yup, it's quite better to rest for a while after that incident instead of moving to another bet, the frustration may trigger you to just simply put your bet without fully analysing the game and it will create danger to you, though it happens to most gamblers, out of frustrations they wanted to push their way and for some they will manage to win and forget the mistake as quick as possible while for those who suffer to lose it will add up to the burden of regrets.
I experience something similar to this, a few days ago when i made some sports bets and after the first bet on live games i was already in winning and the second half was far gone the game time was around 89 minutes and i thought the winning was sure, and i stead of cashing out the available amount in the cash-out box i wanted to wait out the entire game time, and in no time, i lost the vet when the other clubs made and equalization goal score and that made me lose the bet.

Had it been I cash out, it could have been a win-win situation for me even if the amount in rewards won't as high as when the match reached an end, that way I could have avoided both the possibility of me losing the entire money.
3386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: July 20, 2023, 08:24:32 PM
What you are asking is too specific for a thread, in my opinion, even if someone deposited a small amount in order to give a chance to a new casino or betting platform (which is reasonable to think of) still, it is very unlikely someone here would so that and yet manage to get a huge multiplier.

That being said, I have never been that lucky so I cannot offer further comment. Hope anyone can pull something like that off and share it with us.
The thing is,  is small amount equate to winning big rewards even in jackpot?

Because the amount of your winnings are always calculated based on the amount you staked the bet with so in other to win big unless you have to select multiple games to accumulate hundreds of odds so that you can easily place small amount to see big wing reward,  but this systems also have a high tendency to fail.

So don't fall for that!
3387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: July 20, 2023, 08:13:49 PM
Casinos are businesses and revenue generation is the primary and for that, the casino will put everything in place to place a limit on the amount a gambler will win and for how long,  and also there is no way you can deposit a small amount t and win big rewards no matter how lucky you are.

The total amount of rewards is equivalent to the amount you stake the bet with so the smaller your deposit the smaller the reward that will be allocated to it at some point.
3388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 20, 2023, 07:15:51 PM
Real Madrid could be an undefeated team if Kylian Mbappe joins the team. They have incredible offensive power. With names like Vini, Valverde and Rodrygo behind Mbappe, Real Madrid will be a team that is feared by every team. Next year, maybe they can complete the unfinished business with Manchester City. If they encounter this squad, they have a very high chance of eliminating them.
Mbappe is one player that has the capacity to change the lots of Real Madrid most especially now that the club have been sliding behind in their performance and at that,  Real Madrid will do everything possible to get the best hands against next season to be able to have an impact that will give the club another facelift in all the leagues this season.

But more also is their current team formations and how much of new players that is needed for Real Madrid to make a great impact just like the season before the last one.
3389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 20, 2023, 06:53:14 PM
Gundogan is very good for tiki taka after about six years with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Even Pep upgraded initial tiki taka from Barcelona to Bayern Munich then Manchester City, the core idea of tiki taka was digested by Gundogan. He will not have difficulty in Barcelona especially we saw Xavi did not change the initial tiki taka too much in one season and a half with Barcelona.
Gundogan will have no trouble with Xavi's game tactics. he will be a tremendous support for Lewandowski. this season could be the most productive season for Barcelona I think. I don't understand why Pep could let Gundogan go to Barcelona. He is one of City's important players in getting a trophy this season. I'm sure it will be Xavi's luck this season.
Gundogan is the ideal addition to the Barcelona team. I'm trying to picture what the Barcelona frontline players will look like with Gundogan playing with guys of his calibre like Lewandowski, Dembele, Balde, and Pedri. If these players are to be fixtures in a particular match against a team, Barcelona will end up winning the match.
The arrival of Gundogan at Barcelona is a blessing in disguise for Barcelona while a loss to Manchester City. 

With the way Barcelona perform in the last season,  I was convinced that the club have made a lot of sacrifices and there are ready to face their future games and competition with all seriousness because, in the last season,  Barcelona made a foundation for a long that no club will be able to break that record After all, the 2019-2020 round of the premier league,  we all know what Barcelona standing was and how poor the state of the club at that time,  but since from 2021 premiere league,  Barcelona put up a commendable team that has seen to the success recorded in the just concluded premier league season.

And if Gundogan should come on board the Barcelona team,  it then means that the club will be better positioned not only in the premiere league but also in the champions leagues respectively.
3390  Economy / Gambling / Re: How much time for a Duelbits withdrawal? Been 24h+ on: July 19, 2023, 11:19:39 PM
What you must know is that casinos operations differ from one to the other and their method of resolving issues when there happen most time differs too, but since you have waited for 24 hours plus and your withdrawal has not arrived yet I think your best shot at this point is to contact the casino support to see what is going on with your withdrawal.

So whatever they response to this is you then let us know and try as much as possible to include all possible evidence while communicating with the support.

I agree, you should contact support to help you, I know that 24 hours go by very slowly if you have not yet had any kind of response, but it is preferable to wait for your case to be well-studied, I don't know if it could be for the reason of KYC, KYC is what can manifest itself and it usually takes a while for it to be approved, but you have to be sure of something, Duelbits never takes away problems They always respond on time and with the reasons that they are, there is no way that this casino can and wants to hurt any player because they have a lot of confidence within the forum and with that, it is an indication that things are going to turn out well.

I don't think ops have come online to let us know if he has contacted the Duelbits support before making this thread because this is the wrong board for this kind of post and at that one should also check to know if ops tried to make any comment on the Duelbits ANN thread also.

Because if ops continue to walk outside without going through the right channel,  his withdrawal may stay stocked longer than it should be and at that, he needs to make contact with the team as soon as possible.
3391  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Naija internet Phsiphing scam on the rise-Opay scam be aware on: July 19, 2023, 10:34:56 PM
Bitcoin/cryptocurrency traders truly use Opay a lot for their p2p trading and at that,  hacker mind will be on okay since they know that their customers base has increased since their lunch into the Nigeria market, so this is no longer a new thing and for that we must have to avoid click any link or answer anyone claiming to be from opay customer care,  I don't know how some of those scammers managed to know all pay customers details and sometimes it looks like an insider job.

Because pay scam is not only in phishing attempt but also cut across another type of scam attempt,  what I will advise Bitcoin traders or any other cryptocurrency traders is that,  use only the mobile app from the play store to access your Opay account and stop using the website,  because websites can easily be cloned.

It depends on the circumstances that surround the decision because sometimes quilting also means bravery at least to save yourself some stress and cool off most especially in gambling because if you don't quit some time you experience two things which are.

1: is either you slide into addiction trying to chase a win at some point or trying to recover your losses and this ultimately results in possible addictions.

2: you keep losing more since your mental health will be affected due to incessant record of loses.
3393  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How can I understand meme coin good or bad position? on: July 19, 2023, 08:45:37 PM
Snip~
Exactly and that is why altcoins should be taken as a gamble and not for long term speculations,  memecoin become the worst of them all since there have nothing to back them up other than their market speculations and hype which have no long-term value on the projects and that is the more reason you shouldn't hold for long before you dispose them at any given opportunity.

There is currently a lot of meme coin getting listed daily but the most of them will fail while some few among them may succeed for a while before the final exit.
3394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you cheat in gambling? on: July 19, 2023, 08:30:32 PM
I know most people here won't accept this, but the facts is there are many here that would deny the fact that they won't take such opportunity if ever it comes, I'm not disputing that there are no generous people but let's be honest a good number of people would seize such opportunity to recover their loss if given a chance to because no one is happy to lose money, also why don't people quit after going through numerous losses to casinos or online sports betting if not for the fact that they're trying to recover their loss.the series of losses would even make one cheat without giving it a second thought.
~

Even if you do not talk about honesty, then I think most people here are adequate and would not cheat - simply because it is fraught with consequences and risks such as litigation or prison. The average person has a lot of opportunities to steal and commit petty crimes in everyday life, but I see that the majority behave adequately - and it seems to me not just because they are super honest, but because this is rational behavior.
..

Few days ago, while I've converted some bitcoins earned from my signature campaign to fiat through a crypto exchange and requested withdrawal to my bank account, i had the opportunity of cheating the exchange because they sent the money twice, money equivalent to $100 was sent twice to my bank account, just then, several thought began running in my head, i thought of keeping the money, and even when i decided i will return it, i waited for the exchange to contact me first, but they didn't, after the third day, i got myself up and contacted the exchange and told them the money i requested to withdraw 3 days ago was sent twice to my bank account, after they verified it was true, they provided an account and asked me send the other half to it, i did and after they verified receipt of the fund, the customer care i was in contact with told me that the entire management of the exchange is saying a big thank you to me, I was really happy and proud for doing what is right.

I tell you sincerely, Many will fall at the forefront of such temptation.
The thing is that most of the people who keep such money which they don't legally earn and if the company made a mistake most especially in the area of funding,  the best way to handle such a situation is to report the transaction to the support instead thinking and trying to play smart that will end in deep troubles for you as a person because I still remember a guy who's exchange account was blocked and banned for trying to cheat the exchange.

Most people are honourable enough and wise to report such a situation and seek redress just like  Fivestar4everMVP did in his case.
3395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: July 19, 2023, 08:20:02 PM
I believe there will be an increase in Barcelona's performance for next season, Xavi has had a very positive impact on the revival of the Barcelona team.
I think that by bringing some world class players like gundogan will be helping barcelona so much in building its club for next season. The fact that if barcelona lack of world class player in the club since busquets and some important players already left from the club. Bernardo silva has become the next target by barcleona. Xavi si trying to build the squad as good as possible by hijacking more players from best squads in the world owned by manchester city. I have heard that if bernardo silva was also interesting to join in barcelona. The only problem if barcelona has no good financial to send bid for him. The club was seeing swap transfer as the best way to get silva from city.

And to bring in Joao Felix I think it's almost impossible for Barcelona, because of the financial problems that are still befalling this team and also the needs of a team that in my opinion is currently sufficiently qualified, apart from the quality of Joao Felix which is still good.
I do agree if it's impossible for barcelona right now. It will never happen. The fact that if barcelona is still having a lot of debts to be paid. Barcelona is not even completing the request from la liga to raise 200 millions to rebalancing its financial.
The club has been taking financial clever a few times but it doesn't give huge impact to the club. I see no chance for Barcelona to get him caused by this club has no money at this moment.
Barcelona team managed to perform well last season. The team managed to secure the Laliga title. The coach of the team may bring some great changes this season. Manchester City's former captain Gundogan has already been brought into the team.
The general perception for Barcelona this season is high since their previous performance was above average since their we're able to win the league title last season and have made an attempt to sign in new players who will push the club further in this current 2023-2023 La Liga series.

And even though there are multiple chances for opposition clubs to also make attempts to take the title off Barcelona this season but due to their preparation it then means they will meet strong resistance trying to do so.

How can I understand a meme coin's position in the current market? Is there any way to tell if it will be good or bad? I have seen MEXC exchange add many meme tokens daily. How to identify a good token from here?
I can't advice you to trust an exchange that load multiple Memecoin on their exchange and for sure MERC reputation is another point that could possibly show you the reason why their list of those tons of memecoins all thereafter is their own caught off the scam of most of those coins because most of them are just a set up for potential exit scam when their build high liquidity the whale will dump the bags of those coins on the investor.

So I must say that whatever makes you invest in any memecoin you should have it at the back of your mind that you are just taking a gamble and can lose all your invested capital,  so you should take memecoins as speculative assets alone and not for the long term.

Make we stand strong for Us, make nobody go do back bitting because you wan become OGA or MADAM for this Forum.
This is Bitcoin community so at that local board community is still part of the larger bitcointalk community so for that your suggestions say make fellow Nigeria no put mouth for waiting for others dey talk no go work,  just as the first comment suggested Naija local board members both newbie and old members should first of all work on themselves before making any comment that will bring public backlash to them,  because all members of bitcoin
talk have an equal right to make whatever contributions and on whatever thread they want,  is either you develop a thick skin to withstand criticism and being smart enough to take positive criticism to help you grow and also look away from negative criticisms.

That is how the forum works,  so you can't try to use emotional blackmail to influence anyone's decision here and not because we are members of the same local board you do wrong something you won't expect a correction from other 9ja forum members.

This is not the first time someone is saying something similar to this,  because I can still remember when one guy was reporting ChalseTM that he always counters him,  meanwhile, Charles was only pointing out his error,  so let that mentality be changed,  this is the cryptocurrency industry and location doesn't mean much because no one cares or have access to your privacy unless the one you allow.


3399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: July 19, 2023, 02:33:42 PM
All decisions are ours to make, so blaming others for our own gambling losses is strange. I often meet people who don't gamble, when I tell them to try gambling, they refuse and there is no right for me to force them. What I want to say from my experience is that everything is our decision, we deposit, we play and the risk of losing must be borne by ourselves of course.
If there is someone who blames others for their losses, I assume that they are out of control which indicates they may have become addicts.
So far I have never encountered a problem like this and indeed blaming other people when I lose at gambling seems like a loser. I very often make soccer bets with my friends and sometimes even though we have our own views on which team will win and when the results don't match our respective predictions. So my friend and I could only laugh and make jokes to each other because one of us guessed the wrong bet. Cheesy

So I mean from the story that I have experienced with my friend, even though we have different opinions, we never blame each other. Especially when we blame other people it doesn't make much sense.
Ah I have experience of this, about the soccer bet that my friend did. I forgot which teams were playing at the time but I remember he would bet on several teams playing at the same time. It wasn't just me at the time but the three of us, and he asked me and my other friend. When we were asked about one match and which team would win, at that time we had different views, I chose team A and my friend chose team B. My friend who made the bet became confused about which team he should bet on, in short he chose the team I chose, and lost. Lol
He didn't blame me for my recommendation, but it became a joke that eventually made the atmosphere full of laughter.
The thing is that,  no body has the right to blame anyone for the gambling loses this is because predictions are different from the outcome and for that,  no one can make an accurate prediction of the results of a match not even the referees or players on the field have that ability because football result are mostly unpredictable and that is why a gambler will have to rely on luck to make a win at whatever point.

So even though you made the selection of the teams and their scores for your friend and he bet on them and lost,  it doesn't have anything to do with you in whatever ways,  since for the sake of gambling all risks are to be checked personally,  it means you have to bear in mind that you can either lose or win it all depending on the luck of the individual.

But then also we can't tell if the coming season will be that lucky for Barcelona because Real Madrid is presently putting in efforts to get the best player onboard the team against the coming.
Both Barcelona and Real Madrid have tried to maximize the team's strengths by trying to sign several players in the transfer market. Real Madrid has clear financial resources compared to Barcelona, so that Real Madrid can maximize the process of recruiting new players.
Recruiting new players will still be carried out by Real Madrid in order to improve the quality of the team after failing to win the La Liga trophy and the Champions League trophy last season. This season Real Madrid has lost several players, the arrival of new players is needed by Real Madrid in this transfer market.
Several players have been brought in on different lines, Real Madrid still needs additional players in the striker position to improve the quality of attack. Barcelona is slowly starting to improve after bringing in several quality players last season, Barcelona success in winning a trophy last season was thanks to Xavi gentle touch. Barcelona and Real Madrid are still trying to maximize the strength of the team to maintain the opportunity to get a trophy at the end of the season.
I agree with you on the fact that all the clubs are going to be hunting for players in the transfer market and Real Madrid haven't performed below the club's expectation and also haven't missed out in the previous title holding to Barcelona,  Real Madrid will do everything possible to make sure on bringing in the best players that will push the club to a better position in both la Liga and champion league.

Be that as it may,  we also need to note,  that not only Real Madrid that will be signing new players against next season,  other clubs will also be shopping for new hand on board to better their clubs lots in the current season.
