they have no control, they are looking for it is just a game, you cannot leave a responsibility for gambling when you risk real money, things are clear here when they are fulfilled 18 years is the normal age for anyone to be able to do what they want, because everything is under a total responsibility scheme, and what happens from then on and that they do wrong can even be punished by jail, so it is better to do things well so that there are no problems, that's why children should have their games away from casinos.

But quite unfortunately,  some underage is still engaged in gambling and this has really stirred up some discussions in many quarters and this has even led to the banned I gambling in many countries around the world all winning attempt to kill underage gambling.

But the government efforts have not yielded any positive results and also the need to good parenting of the child is very important.

The population around my area. Is 40%/Muslims and we leave in friendship and harmony as most of us have the basic understanding that religion is just man made,  so for that we give less attention to religious activities or perceptions and this have not taken away our time of celebration such as this to wish all the Muslims around the world barka de salah.

This is a time for prayers and staying focus to making the world a better place,  by embracing contemporary. development such as Bitcoin/blockchain technology for better human existence

As for me I think the parents owe the children nothing to explain to them as long as they never let the vacuum of their responsibilities in training the children remain void, when your children never have access to gambling or where they do such then you owe them no explanation, parents have their own part they play from their children way of upbringings, they must not engage doing things that we will not be aware of which may affect them in life the wrong way.
Parenting comes with a lot of work and educating the child on the danger of some action goes a long way to saving the child in the future when they are no longer with their parents, and it doesn't necessarily need that the child is exposed to it before you give them the awareness on the dangers available in the society and how to handle them.
I use my personal experience to check this thing, when I was young, my parents use to tell me real-life stories and sometimes we had both the good the bad and the ugly so those lessons thought us how to handle some in our real life.
Gambling lessons should be thought to young kids so that that knowledge will help to guide their actions when they grow up.

We need to safe ourselves from future challenges by avoiding our children get exposed to gambling right from onset, children are not yet responsible for their school fees payment, neither do they have other responsibilities attached to them to take care of which need financial aid, their time is needed to be invested on their education and learn about other careers in life than getting too exposed to gambling at their early stage.
I agree with you on the need for education and growth in the kids before any adulthood exposure because gambling is for responsible adults who knows how to make a decision and take responsibility for those decisions,  kids need to build their basic foundation and avoid any possible distraction because gambling to an underaged is an abused and this can lead to uncontrollable addictions.

But if a child has grown to some level and can handle the responsibility,  and that is why regulators always specify an age limit of 18🚫  years.

You should also give some more info on the project because that will help those who want to help the guide to what exactly are saying,  we have had a lot of projects lately and this has made some of those names strange to investors and even myself I have not hard if this project before so at that I can't give any answer but to ask you to add a link to this thread to serve as a pointer to what we are looking for because with that you can get the expert opinion you are looking for.
3605  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 27, 2023, 10:58:13 PM
I'd guess it's 50/50 casino play and 95% men for sports.
Do you think we have up to 50% of women involved in gambling?


Because women have this sentimental judgment on risk and gambling games involve a lot risksisk that may kill women's motivations even though there are already records of positive women's involvement in gambling, it still has not reached up to 50% since statistic still shows low women participation in gambling compared to the male forks you are actively and heavily involved in gambling.
3606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 27, 2023, 10:40:40 PM
Do you mean they collect some fees for people to have those sure bet as they said?
What if the bet or games didn't go as they planned and has taken some fees from fellow or newbies how do they make their refund or does it mean after collecting their fees they block access from them?

I was chat on my WhatsApp with an unknown number offering to provide some reliable games that I should bet on and win huge maybe after it plays I should chat back to share my experience with their games but I didn't even try to bet it because there are lots of things happening before someone would label me to scammer or something else.
Yes, most of those SureBetss providers collect payments to share those games with their clients and that is why you see them contacting people through social media and other social media platforms trying to lure more clients into subscribing to those services,  we have hard-rising cases of failed predictions and it is already proven that those services are unreliable and should be avoided in all totality.

Most of those bets are generated out of individual analysis and sold for a fee,  which is why most of the game outcomes are always against the gambler since the analysis is done by random individuals who may not have the right team information to make such speculations.
3607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 27, 2023, 10:21:43 PM
No gambling tips are reliable or certified trusted with all means always have it in mind that it was that reliable there wouldn't have been any way to share across rather wanting them to achieve it all and progress for themselves. Gambling is a game of probability is either you or lose and what's the probability of you to win is 1 or 0, so no reliable sports bet group that would give you an accurate results.
Yeah and we have to sound this warning to as many as possible because quite a good number of newbies fall for this type of scheme from those who see themselves and sure bet generators of winning signal providers,  most especially the ones that offer such services for a fee.

If the bets are really sure why can they invest a lot of money in it and thereby become rich,  why do they need the little fees they collect from victims all in the name of providing them with sure bets?
3608  Economy / Speculation / Re: This year is dumping ground for bitcoin on: June 27, 2023, 09:57:23 PM

When I was new to crypto investing, this was the method I usually followed. The saying "invest as much as you can afford to lose" gets forgotten after a while. Someone who trusts Bitcoin and says they won't use their own money for a long time will invest more than they can afford to lose. Someone who starts investing regularly will also invest more than they can afford to lose. This is usually the case. Because when they buy small amounts of crypto, they don't care much about the money, but these small amounts grow over time.
You forget to mention that constant accumulation is what amount to huge starched in the long run,  this is because buying little by little makes investors to accumulate more bitcoin even more than they afford to lose on the loan run,  but if you check closely you will know that the process of accumulations may take time and the amount at the certain time may be what the investor can actually afford to Lose.
3609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your rate in betting base on odds alone? on: June 27, 2023, 09:52:11 PM

I like to think the latter when it comes to live games because the game is already in session and although its hard for them to manipulate the odds then but there is still the fact that anything can happen in that game that can alter your predictions and make you lose that bet and moreover life bet makes you spend more money since you will have to stake the game huge cash to actually guaranteed any good returns and don't even start by telling me you bet for fun because you will definitely like to win and not the opposite.
Yes anything can happen even during the live games and it all depends on the luck factor on the side of the gambler because there is nothing like sure predictions and at that, all our analyses still depend on luck to win,  I have lost a couple of live games but if the ratio between my loses and winning put together I think I have won more than I lose in a live game.

But on the ability for the odd to get manipulated on and at that the gambler is at the advantage of easy prediction and actual payout since the odds will remain the same all through the games.
3610  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Patricia breached, bitcoin and naira stolen. on: June 27, 2023, 09:41:15 PM

The Nigerian government or bank will not intervene, and no one will be arrested over crypto hack or not as far as Nigeria is concerned. I can't tell if Patricia rugpull like most of the trading platforms out there, but what I can tell you is that whoever gets into a crypto scam, lost valuable crypto assets does so at his own risk, the Nigerian government has banned crypto trading activities and is not going to engage in it, so everyone who is into crypto in Nigeria does so at their own risk.
In most cases or in all scams such as this the those who lost assets on this centralized crypto exchange have themselves to blame since the government through the central bank already warn Nigerians of the danger of crypto investment or assets which is why banks in Nigeria we're directed to stop bank vs crypto transactions.

And with such laws,  the scammy shity crypto exchanges will take advantage to pull an exit one of their customers and the event playing out at Patricia is one of such centralized exchange scheme,  because whatever security vulnerability that leads to the loss of client bitcoin balance or other balance on the exchange.

I never trust Patricia for once since their exchange rate is lower than other market rate also having high naira withdrawal fees makes the case more complicated.
3611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your rate in betting base on odds alone? on: June 27, 2023, 09:21:06 PM
If i'm only betting based on the odds, then i'd probably lose more because there are a lot of inconsistent teams between different leagues that fail to deliver a win at home and on the road whenever they're a 1.5 - 1.7 favorite. Even with research, I've been struggling to win on favourites with odds around the same range, so you need to learn when it's a trap because it's common to see bookies rate a few teams too high, and then they'll start bottling when you bet on them.
Odds can deceive anyone and sport book sites are always fun of using the odds mechanism to trick gamblers into choosing the wrong odds by being manipulative in their odd allocation,  because sometimes they give bigger odds to the stronger team and also small odds to the weaker clubs so if a gambler is not knowledge enough you end up choosing the small odds taking it as a sure odds.

But then what I like most is to bet on live games that way I can easily predict the outcome of the match and my chances of winning will be higher than expected.
3612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 27, 2023, 09:14:41 PM

Well for some people like myself we had to learn this the hard way and since then I have always skeptical about any so called group for sure odds because I don't believe any person can provide such services looking at how gambling is very tricky and the major factor involve which is luck and no one can predict if he or she is going to be lucky.
Most of us have similar experiences as what you explain as your reality and what the so-called sure bets betting groups have done to people,  there is no doubt that some of the signal predictions may work,  but not to the point of anyone paying to subscribe to them since there are no assurances of their accuracy in the long run.

I use to use a few sport bet predictions and in most cases almost all the predictions there must be one game that will spoil the tickets so what I do most times is to select a few odds from theirs and make my own judgement based on that.

Woke up earlier today and seeing PhilTheGoat hitting those extravagant wins back-to-back in Lightning Roulette.

Meanwhile I with a few bucks in balance.


I feel your pain mate seeing such a huge balance from Philthegoat winning is quite tempting for a low-balance guy like us and all that we could do is try to make up a few hundred dollars balance and try to level up to the player in the long run but trying to compete in this will amount into some hard work and a lot of gots to stake higher in other to meet that balance level.

But PhilTheGoat is a top man in this game today.
3614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your rate in betting base on odds alone? on: June 27, 2023, 04:11:34 PM

I'm hoping to make more BTC so the more bets from now on the more chances of winning. I think that's what I'm going to do now before the bull run takes full speed.
Regardless of which game. To me, I bet on Soccer but I seem to have lost every day. How often do you win in Soccer games if you just bet based on odds by picking a team with 1.50 and 1.70?
This is absolutely a bad idea to try to increase your level of betting just because you want to earn more Bitcoin because it has been proven that the more you gamble just to win the more you lose and the more money the casino makes instead you making more (Bitcoin) as you wanted,  there is no way that a gambler will determine the direction the outcome of the bets.

Also, note that even the game with the smallest odds can still give you losses so as that you shouldn't rely on odds to make such stances of winning.

And if care is not taken,  the more games you play the more money you will lose using odds indicators unless luck is on your side consistently.
3615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you guilty of promising not to gamble for specific days but back next day on: June 26, 2023, 09:47:01 PM
One thing about being addicted to a particular thing is the serious resistance from a person's body whenever be decides to leave such addiction.
Gambling is absolutely an addiction that many young men and women are getting themselves in to because they think it is one of he easiest ways to make money. It will cost an extraordinary prize for anyone  who's addicted to gambling to finally quit even when he publicly declare not to be involved in it again.
The sad but true part of the story is the addition after the person decides to quit but something holds him back. Gambling has an age limit for a reason and many people don't want to understand why it sounds so awful when the theme is about the consequences of compulsive gambling. Young people should be more careful since when addicting feelings can be strong in brain development. Involving in this emotional condition will lead to bad consequences that can affect life standards badly, IMO.
Reaching the age limit for gambling which is about 18+ is most essential for everyone looking for ways to limit the level pf gambling addiction or it tendency,  because those that are below 18 in age are most of likely to get addicted easily since the lack the mental alertness to handle such thing and can easily get carried away.

So it best to avoid young people from getting involve in gambling and even if their achieve that required age limit allowed to gamble,  one still need to apply caution while gambling since gambling is highly addictive in nature and can ruin one life if not properly handled.
3616  Economy / Economics / Re: Has everyone become too pesimistic about the economy? on: June 26, 2023, 10:19:54 AM
I'm a pleb like most of you, and I too have, many times, become pessimistic about the economy in general and in what's about to come. But has anyone ever considered that,

- The economy is not going to crash into a recession
- That there will be an actual soft landing
- That the Russia - Ukraine war will not escalate into a European war
- That Gensler CAN'T truly ban crypto
- Institutional investors will come back and take Bitcoin to six digits

I'm probably missing more narratives, but you get the idea.
It some of the point outlines depend on regions and countries because we have some countries show the economy is already in recession or have passed through a recession multiple times,  so being optimistic on a global scale will be far different based on regional differences and effects on individuals' economy.

But again we are hopeful that the global economy will witness a revolution that will catch across the globe, the recession should be treated as a global economic crisis and at that, we must look into other sectors that can act independently e.g Bitcoin which is a global economic tool that can transform the economy if properly engaged.

This will give birth to Bitcoin becoming a global economic instrument,  again this is based on hope and wishes or being optimistic.

If someone claimed they have the right strategy for gambling and winning more times than losing, why can't they use the strategy for themselves and change their lives first?
Greed is what fuel their desire to recruit new people to sell there so called strategy to because of gambling is understood properly,  no one will fall for the ethics since we already know that there is nothing like a consistent stride in gambling and if you win it means you are lucky and at the same time if you lose it goes the same way too.

So it is better not to trust any strategy that is advertised as proven winning mechanism because it not always true and those involve in those scheme are aware of that,  but choose to deceive newbies who are looking for sure strategy when there is none.

The worst war that hit human kind is organized and perpetrated by government and as a matter of fact, the government is the originator of war and other criminal activities including terrorism,  because most of the laws are created to serve the favour of the country or constitution and the politicians this is why the law can not work effectively is such kind of environment.

But then we most understand that it the politicians that make the law and this laws are designed in such a that the ruling class have designed the law in such a way that all their interest.
3619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 25, 2023, 09:00:03 PM
We're living on this world and its era where nobody gives an F to nobody. That's why people do gamble no matter what situation he's in, a gambler will be one. There is a bad result on this one that whether we're a gambler, we'd still remain a gambler and if we've got nothing to gamble anymore, that's where crimes will enter. It's sad that people resort with that option because they've been addicted and that's the reason who's engaged in gambling to protect yourself by having your self control and also by providing yourself. If you can't gamble with any of your money then at least also please don't gamble with others money.
I believe that the issue with addiction is that,  it works inline with our instinct and base on individual frame of mind,  gambling should indeed be done with your own money and also with an amount one can afford to part away with,  this is because,  sometime the outcome of gambling may not be favorable and at that one need to have that self control and limits so that you ain't losing more than you can afford.

So if a gambler already has this frame of mind,  it then means that the next thing is to cave out the amount that will be in proportion to what you intend to spend on a bet,  also avoid borrowing to bet and crime should be avoided.

When one borrows to gamble or commits a crime just to gamble,it means that addiction is what controls that person. Gambling should be done with caution and self-control to avoid addiction. Gambling is done in a free will,no matter that some gamblers abuse gambling and make it look like gambling is for irresponsible or a wayward person.

If you gamble with funds that you can afford to loss,nobody will know that you are gambling because it will not show in your lifestyle. People that allows their gambling life to be seen by other people is because they gamble a lot without reserve.
I agree with you on this because gambling must be done with understanding of the risk associated with it and if one have to gamble should be with spare money and also a limited time to play this way you remains safe on whatever outcome of the game,  those who go to the extent of borrowing or getting into crime to gamble have two problems facing them.

1: is gambling addictions

2: the tendency of crime.

These two mentalities combined together is what gives birth to that reality,  because a normal gambler who doesn't have a tendency to crime will not go into crime even though the played and lost everything.
3620  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoins, religious leaders and the government on: June 25, 2023, 08:49:34 PM
Can you please share a link to support the claim that Religious leaders are warnings their congregation against acceptance of cryptocurrency/bitcoin because this is the first time I am hearing anything of such because bitcoin has widely been accepted in the Christian domination to the point of a bishop developing a coin recently even though their report that inventors of the said coin can't withdraw or make anything out of the investment after all, the coin is a shit coin.

So with people like bishop Sam zuga the CEO of Zuga coin who's cryptocurrency project gained popularity along side the cryptocurrencies market in Nigeria, I have not hard in any church where Bitcoin or any coin is call Dominic and I believe this statement is born out of your own assumptions.
