341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 31, 2024, 10:53:56 AM
They should, because women are more cautious about the decision they make, that's why for women its always about now and for men its always about tomorrow,  if a woman lost a lot of money in gambling they will instantly learn from it, they will be force to be more careful and use less money and completely walk away from gambling.

Have you ever taken a risk for yourself and when a woman heard about it they will scream out loading talking you why they will never take such risks? It's almost all of the them that think this way, even my mother too, the highest risks belongs to men that's why you will see men everywhere doing the hardest things.

Only very few numbers of addicted gamblers are women, most addicted gamblers are men, they are always the ones who do the impossible, kudos to all men in the world today struggling to become one great in the society, the world have turned men into a must make it in life kinda machine or they will never be known.
342  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: January 31, 2024, 09:55:50 AM


A lot of people have been clamoring about how gambling has ruined their life but same gambling has set some people up for life, just like every other form of investment there must always be a profit or a loss.  And life is so balanced that what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B. Likewise in gambling,  while some are crying about their loss they are some who are smiling and celebrating their win.
 Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.
 I believe that before one make a decision in life, they should've already weighed the consequences of making the right or wrong choice, then put their fate on luck coupled with their little knowledge concerning what they're about to decide on, so why complain and play the blame game when things go wrong? "Share your thought on how gambling has come through for you if you got any".
It takes some grace for gamblers who won from gambling to invest the money on something good, majority of them would rather keep gambling to make more money so stop saying that people are winning and having a change of life through gambling, not all of them are free from the gaze of gambling, it's not as that easy.

Those who are warning gamblers about the self destruction in gambling are not saying it wrong, they are right and accurate about it, do you know how easy it is to lose everything in gambling? Gambling can easily hinder your future plans if care isn't taken, that's why I believe that gambling is not for everybody, some people are so weak at taking the right decisions in life and some gets too attached to everything they do.

You should not blame gambling when you are unlucky and you should not rely on gambling as your source of income, it's about luck and it's never going to work out for you everytime you gamble, for a lot of people, it's better not to gamble at all and do something else, because when its the time to stop it can be difficult to put an end to everything.

Take casino games for example especially jackpot casino games there is no way you can tell me that all of them are structured in such a way that they randomly always make money for the house if you ask me gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature 💔💔💔
Who says money is easy to get in the first place? Isn't people like you that confused yourselves that money can be made this way? If we can just stop deceiving ourselves we will see things more clearer, gambling isn't like a bed of roses for the poor or for those who want to change their life into something better, it's never meant to be easy, we are created to struggle for everything we want and desire.

I can never be deceived that money is easy to come by, I have turned down many investment opportunity because they just don't make any sense to me, it's either their ROI is too high or the way they generate income is hideous and untrue, whatever the case may be, is something sounds too good to the ear it's probably a big fat lie.

That's why gambling as a fun part of your life is the best, don't dream of making life changing money when gambling, don't! You won't see it happen no matter how much you try, such luck come to those that have a different mind about gambling, and even if it never happens they are the safest, because they don't expect anything big from gambling.
344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING DISORDER on: January 30, 2024, 11:19:57 AM
How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.
You can help yourself if you believe that casinos are manipulating people, it might be the unbelievable true that many will find hard to accept, so why don't you accept this and be free from gambling addict? It means you still have a doubt that you might be wrong, I mean if I can make up my mind that gambling is a complete fraud right now I will never gamble again, it's that easy, because I believe it's really complete fraud.

What you believe will either set you free or keep you in prison for so long, killing yourself is not the solution, you are only going to damage your spirit being and probably pay for doing so, there is no amount of damage that life brings on you or you bring on yourself that's worth your life.

For someone who is already addicted to gambling, the day you really really quit is the day you win, it's the day your winning begins because you beat the unbeatable, now you can beat anything, you have control.

The solution to gambling is don't get addicted at all...

When you win = you wanna win more.

When you lose = you wanna get the money back.

You never win, that's why the casinos exists, only those who can control themselves are true winners, casino odds are very bad, that's why risking only what you can afford is just the best, even if you are making $10,000 per month, you should stay with risking few dollars.
345  Economy / Gambling discussion / If a addict lives within, which method would you choose to help them on: January 30, 2024, 10:20:31 AM
As a member of a family and there is a gambling addict within, which method do you think it's the best to rip off the addict from your family member?

1. Talk to them and don't leave their side for too long, show them some love and make sure they don't have anything to do with gambling ever again, be soft and gentle with them.

2. Be harsh about it, force them to quit, let them know that gambling isn't this safe, bounce on them all the time because you love them, don't go any soft on them, because been soft won't make them see reasons why it's bad to be a gambling addict.

Which do you think it's best? Some people do think that been soft and gentle will be more effective and some people think that been harder on them is the real love here, they need to make them stop by force.
 
What do you think?

Try for a while to find a source of income as an additional job, so as not to spoil your young, but, apparently no longer entirely healthy body.
It seems OP has a successful business after all. Like I said before, it’s unrealistic for someone who can barely afford a three square meal to even think to use the little money they have to invest in bitcoin. Even with a die hard conviction that Bitcoin would be a profitable investment in the long term, it’s extremely difficult for someone in that condition to take such risks.
Lol, this was after I made so much money from my Bitcoin investment, this thread was before I become who I am today, and the link you shared was after I have enough money to start my fashion designer business,  I don't know why this is very hard to believe for few people on here, there are people struggling in my country and they only eat when they can, they can go few days without food, have you ever been to any Slum before? I can say I was addicted to Bitcoin at the time, but I did it anyway.

Today I did paid heavily on my decision, my body got so weak and I felt like I was dying, but I have gotten passed this, I am now in a good shape, now I rest more and take good nutrition to help me get back in shape, I was accepting Bitcoin as means of payment but after the Ordinals came it became harder because few of my customers that used to pay in Bitcoin couldn't anymore, now it's back to normal but I haven't received any payment in BTC in a while now.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the definition of a Gambler? Do you consider yourself as a Gambler? on: January 29, 2024, 01:43:53 PM
This is one of the reasons you don't expose yourself as a gambler, don't try such in my country, once you are a gambler that's been sighted by people you will forever be a gambler in their mind, even if you quit later it changes nothing.

I prefer online gambling because of this, my father warned me about gambling and as a responsible gambler I kept it a secret, no one knows that I do gamble and sometimes I even advice against gambling to my nieces, because I doubt they can handle gambling like I do, I don't want to see them getting addicted.

It's not safe and I get by because I know how to get by without getting addicted, I am scared for myself and I sometimes thing about my decision, asking myself if I am doing the right thing or not, this is called awareness, many gamblers can't judge their decisions, they won't know if they are doing everything wrong.
348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is addiction bad only when it is a problem? on: January 29, 2024, 12:05:46 PM
It's already a problem to be addicted to anything, that's your massive weak point which can hurt you in any way, even people can take advantage of you knowing that this is what you are addicted to, someone who is addicted to alcohol can be easily poisoned by a bottle of beer, I can't even count how many friends of friends have been eliminated by poisoned beer.

Not all addiction involved crime, but they are all bad, just because it is not involving any crime doesn't mean it's safe to continue, you as a human must not be too addicted to anything, even if its food you will hurt yourself, you can't be addicted to water either, too much water can affect you too, because too much water can cause fluid toxicity.

What addiction is considered safe? I don't see any, that's why I always consider everything as not free in this world, you can't sit at one place all day without backfiring, you can't stare at the screen all day and weeks without damaging your eye, they will get weaker faster, what is actually free in this world? Nothing.
349  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 29, 2024, 10:09:02 AM
OP, you've been through a lot. But you probably won. Your motivations could be somewhat shorter. Just invest in bitcoins, but you shouldn't skimp on your health. Otherwise, the time will come when your health will ask you for a very expensive bill.
Investments in Bitcoin should not be on the last dollar. Try for a while to find a source of income as an additional job, so as not to spoil your young, but, apparently no longer entirely healthy body.
It already did, I had so many appointment with my Doctor in 2022, something I am even feeling ashamed to share on here, most things went wrong in my body system, the Doc said I took a big risk for so long, and he said it will also take me a long time to fully recover again, I have indeed spend a lot of money on medication.

Now I believe that what we do today with our body will later show itself years later, it's like a debt that needs to be paid whether you have the money or not, I am fully ok now, I was told to do some exercise daily and also take some supplement to return some dead missing vitamins back to my body.

I will never advice anyone to do the same thing that I did, it was a risk I took that could have cost me my life, if anyone is struggling now I will advice them to find a job and start making some money first before even thinking about investing any penny.

Thanks for the advice @Lovesmayfamilis

Shit happens, I am wondering why this man doesn't gamble using his smartphone in his home, maybe he is one of those old uneducated people in the world? As there are many like them that can't even operate a smartphone, they don't know what login using email and password feels like.

I am suspecting that the family relatives don't know that this man is a gambler, if not, they won't want to leave a kid for him to watch after, but now the secret is out since police is already involved, I feel pity for the uneducated people the most, if such people are into gambling I doubt they will be able to reason or think hard on anything, they will easily become an addict due to the heavy lack of knowledge.

Gambling addiction is really a big problem, one have to be a very disciplined person to be a very careful gambler, gambling isn't for everyone to be honest, but since casinos lack any form of screening before gambling, everyone is at risk of doing the stupid things in a casino.
351  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🎰 What's Your Top Pick for Crypto Casinos in 2024? Share & Discover Hidden Gems on: January 28, 2024, 10:33:06 AM
TGcasino? Cloudbet? Your list is a total joke to be honest, that TGcasino is a brand new one how can someone picked that as the best casino in 2024 when we are just starting the year? I don't even have one yet because this year is just starting and I have not even gamble at all in this month of January 2024.

I do have top picks but they are based on my last year experience not this new year yet, the first one is Stake and the second is Fortune Jack, mind you, this is my own judge from the experience I've seen so far, there are many good picks that are worth mentioning, like RollBit and Roobet.

As time do goes on, my preferred casinos can change, and since the year is just starting up maybe new things can happen, who knows? So I will leave my answer for this year 2024 for the later.

You are dancing on fire if you see gambling as a means to your financial problem, you are only waiting to get burnt, trust me, it will happen.

The fact is you can't beat a casino, if you are going to ever get lucky, believe that casinos always win and play safe first, use what you can afford to lose, if you have a financial goal start learning a reliable skill online or offline.

Start looking forward to invest part of your money in crypto assets or just Bitcoin, this will change your life for better than relying on gambling, engage in gambling only with your spare money.
353  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When I'm emotional, I LOSS! on: January 28, 2024, 07:31:27 AM
For some people, been emotional makes them so powerless and there is nothing they can do about it, for such people I advice them to either get discipline or quit gambling, I believe the reason why I am always in control of myself when gambling is because I don't have any emotional feelings in gambling, many people are embracing gambling but for me I am scared of the disadvantages of gambling.

The chances that gambling can break you is higher than the chances that gambling can make you, understanding gambling is understanding it's risks too, this will make you erase any desires and emotions towards gambling, if you don't expect any financial breakthrough when gambling you will become disciplined and risk the true amount you can afford to lose.

So many people are far from reality that's why they can't be disciplined when gambling, they want the impossible dreams from the impossible channels even when the chances are too slim.
354  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 28, 2024, 06:15:44 AM
I'm a little bit confused with your story. You had no job but you were already investing, "gathering some Bitcoin for long term hold"? How did you do that? Where did you get the money?

And then you were wretched, looked old even if you were still young, and you even eat single meal a day, but you were living with your parents? How could you feed yourself when you have no source of income? And why should you look after your stomach and couldn't eat 2 or 3 times a day when you're living with your parents?

Anyway, thanks for pointing out that you "can't advice anyone to do the same today." I agree. I advice anybody to live a good life. If the price to pay for that is to have no Bitcoin, it's still worth it.

Thanks for asking, I used every source possible back then, from pocket money to online jobs like pay to click, I even did a lot of faucet claiming too, just like many people on this forum.

There was also a time where I won some good amount of Bitcoin from Freebitco when it was still very new, it's been a long time, I joined few HYIP websites, I also did few free lancing jobs then, I included my parent especially my father because I don't feel the tiger parenting from their side, he supported my journey and he was very understanding, I bet I've posted something related to this before.

355  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 27, 2024, 01:33:18 PM
I don't know who needs to hear this, I had no job when I started gathering some Bitcoin for long term hold, I looked wreteched for few years, I eat single meal per day, I looked old at a young age, like those who don't want me to carry on my BTC journey used to tell me, but in the end it all went well, where did I get my conviction? I had no other means to have a better future than this, it was like a do or die something for me then, something inside me just appreciate the existence of BTC, like I know something like it was coming to safe me, which I can't advice anyone to do the same today.

What I am saying here is that it's still doable if you have the conviction to make things happen, if you crave for changes you will go any lent to make things happen in the right manner and ways, but having a source of income will make things more easier for you, I still considered my story as a easy one because I had my father then, I had a roof over my head in my parents home, and also I don't pay any bills, it was just me and my stomach to feed and my BTC wallet to fill up.

For someone who came from poor home it will become a very big battle to conquer poverty, and for those who come from average or rich home, it becomes easier for them to have a better future because they will have more money to take risks, if you are from a home like mine, you need to strive hard, my battle took me three years, if I have never know Bitcoin and I decided to take the path that everyone in my country was into it would have been harder for me, judging from the present conditions of those who almost stopped my Bitcoin journey, I am not shaming anyone, I am just saying that Bitcoin is worth every shot.

Because since the past 12 years, there is no investment that does it better than Bitcoin, you can't find anything like this anywhere else, it's worth every fight and hustle, but your journey will be way easier if you have a source of income, don't give up, always give your best short, you are on the right path.
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles on: January 27, 2024, 12:12:57 PM
There are two problems here.

Most gamblers have problem moving away from gambling after they make life changing money, and for such people they can still lose all their richness back to gambling, it's a blessing if you can win and gently walk away from gambling to establish your life for the greater future sake.

A gambler who have the mindset to make it in gambling before even starting could eventually get addicted, remember they have a goal to retire using gambling? It's not a safe plan and it can easily mess you up, you will easily be depressed if you fail to achieve your goal by gambling.

The safest thing is to not dream of anything with gambling, just have some fun like you use to do when you visit a cinema with your man or woman or friends, if you are the next gambling millionaire it will happen, it's probably part of your fate, but don't bet on it, risk only what you can and be a realistic.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been able to win a game given to you in the dream? on: January 27, 2024, 09:38:39 AM
The funny thing about this question is that I have never for once had such dream before, even if I do I doubt I would have enough courage to try it out, it sound ridiculous to see a lottery number in my dream and place some bets on it.

It's not impossible but for me it can never happen to someone like me, I have heard rumors about dreams that do come to light but I don't have such power, I called it rumour because it has never happen to anyone around me, and seeing is believing, we only heard about the rumour but no single person come forth and say that they had such experience before.

I have seen someone that I always pray that they don't dream about me, this person is a family and she has this gift of dreaming about what could happen in future, if she dreams about somone dying, it will happen, but turning into millionaire in gambling through your dreams is something that's not been proven in my circle.
358  Economy / Gambling / Re: MetaMask Crypto Casinos on: January 27, 2024, 08:44:56 AM
OP, you can't be so concerned about the metamask acceptance on online casinos without the safety part, what are you doing? There are scam casinos on your list and it doesn't matter if they accept metamask only, you have some cleanup to do on that website.

As a matter of fact, there is no casino that's branded as a metamask casino, if any platform or casino is accepting metamask connection it will work with other web 3 wallets too, either by WalletConnect or Direct.

If a online casino is not available on this forum you need to be careful, you have a load of traffic on that website, and with scams available in those casinos it's not safe, you will eventually lose credibility when one or more people fall victim to scam through your website, they ain't coming back and they might drop some bad reviews too.
359  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are these P2P crypto platforms SCAM? on: January 25, 2024, 06:04:17 AM
I will never say anything good about PaxFul because I was a victim to their scam years ago and it's something that always come back into my mind whenever I see the name PaxFul online, if you know what's best for you do not use this platform, they have the most terrible ways of handling trades, they give power back to the scammers and release your fund or gift card to them, this was what happened to me.

ByBit and OkX are both centralized exchanges, them offering peer to peer trade is like how Binance exchange is doing it's thing, but customers are asked to pass KYC, I believe the best P2P platforms don't need to ask for KYC or keep any form of data from their users.

They are not as good as AlgoraDesk, HodlHodl and others, they don't ask for any sensitive data, just you and the person you want to buy from or sell to, their job is making sure the trade is a success.

Lol, there was so much emotion and frustration on this match, I can't help but think that maybe the fans placed some bets on their country? Or maybe they just can't help it because they have so much love for their country?

There is no way you won't feel sad if your country lose a match, I could remember when I was young, the only football match I watch is the world cup, and I was always very excited about whats going to happen, it's just what it is, but some people do take this emotion thing too far at times.

Damaging of properties and getting angry unnecessary is not worth it, I mean it's not as if someone died or you lost a limb, I have a brother that I don't like watching a match with, because the moment his favourite loses the game he always get so angry that it affects people around him, I am not sure he is even aware of this.
