3601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 15, 2023, 10:58:31 AM
Lottery here in our country is being run by our government and the majority of the citizen in our country are lottery bettors for many years, I personally know people who are betting for ten or more years but they still have not hit the jackpot I wonder what these people think or if you're a lottery bettor for many years and you read that one first time bettor hit a huge jackpot in a lottery.

Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?

You don't have to feel envious if you understand how life works, we have those that are extremely lucky in life and we have others that haveto struggle or just like everyone else that life isn't fair to them. The users that won the lottery might just be one of the lucky ones.

Seeing him win the lottery will motivate me as I know that winning is possible and it won't stop me from keep playing believing I might have the opportunity to win one day just as he did. If I become envious and quit, it could be I was closer to winning but my emotion prevent it.

Two things might happen here, the first time winners mightn't know how to manage the money since he didn't struggle to get it. He might think he'll be lucky again so he'll useless the money he received but because I was putting efforts into winning, I won't mismanaged mine.
3602  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin What is the probability of 60 K+ again? on: July 15, 2023, 03:53:16 AM
I think $ 60k is a price that is still realistic to achieve this year, there is still more than 5 months so many things can happen, and of course the hope of rising at the end of the year can be an easy thing for us to achieve because in early 2024 there will be a halving day which would usually make a lot of users panic to buy.

$60,000 is a 100% increase from the current price of Bitcoin,. Bitcoin can do a 50% if the fomo is too high concerning the halving that'll be happenings next year but I don't see bitcoin doing a 100% increase in just 5 months. That type of gain can be earned only in bull market.

50% increase from.$30,000 range that Bitcoin has been trading for some time is $15,000 which will take Bitcoin to $45,000 by the end of the year and I feel it can be reached when the fomo starts coming. We should be expecting a pump in price but our hope shouldn't be hiigh.

The remaining 5 months might be positive or negative for the Bitcoin market but it won't affect the halving short bull run that always happens. We should've sealed our investment by then so we benefits from the fomo that comes from the halving date getting closer.

Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble

Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

This is a mindset of a gambling addict, if you're losing when gambling that means you have to stop and move on to try other things. Not everyone will make money from gambling. Some people have their destiny at other things so when gambling isn't working for you, you quit.

I started gambling very young but it isn't young to be considerate an underage gambler. I started gambling after a friend of mine convince me to try it and when I did it made me some profits and since then I have been gambling occasionally but not consistently like an addict.

Gambling is very addictive but you can program yourself so you don't become addicted by having a strategy that'll help you not to over gamble or spend too much money gambling. If you want a means to make money try others means that does depends on you been lucky.
3604  Economy / Gambling / Re: Top 5 Advantages of Bitcoin Casinos vs. Traditional Casinos on: July 14, 2023, 10:35:52 PM
Advantage of playing in bitcoin casino is also that you are sure of no third party interference in your transfers, all you need is the address of the casino but traditional casinos sometimes you could recheck why your deposit is not credited because of that level of human involvement. Some traditional casinos agent are so lazy that they may forget to credit you after you have made deposit to them. You have to go there at times to remind them if you have not seen the deposit alert and sometimes it takes days to rectify some payment if there are payment reflection issues.

Bitcoin casinos some times your deposit won't reflect automatically and you'll have to write the support to resolve the issue so this isn't just a problem for traditional casino as online casino has their delay issue. Some online casino process withdrawal manually and this cause delay.

Both traditional and online casino has human involvement. The support you're chatting with when you have issue on Bitcoin casino are not all bot but humans. Bot are useful when questions been asked has already been prerecord on the Frequently asked questions page.

Both traditional casino and Bitcoin casino or online casinos to included them all have their strength and weaknesses but Bitcoin casino should have more advantage because it uses Bitcoin and it's also online which can be accessible anywhere with an internet connection.
3605  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is done! Now this is what we are left with! on: July 14, 2023, 10:19:25 PM
This thought came to my mind today.

What if there's this news that says "Bitcoin mining is over. All the Bitcoin has been mined and all the leftovers are burned. We are left with what we have in our hand"?

I know Bitcoin mining will be over one day. Many sources say that it will be over in the year 2140. So let's just imagine ourselves at that point in time and discuss how the situation will play out. That's why I am saying that it may happen today. How this will impact the whole crypto world?

If it happens today the impact will be felt across all cryptocurency as the market will dip repeatedly and crashing many alternative cryptocurency out of the market. Bitcoin market will also crash very bad and that's why the whole market will feel the impact as they always do

If it happens when it was supposed to happen, it won't be as bad as it happening today because by then the developers would had already worked out a solution or Bitcoin woud had been so widely accepted that the mining reward stopping won't affect the market.

Let forget about this as it isn't our problem to take care of, Satoshi has a reason for everything he put in place to happen to Bitcoin as he believed that was his best plans and we have to trust him that when the mining reward stop, the network won't be abandoned.

3607  Economy / Speculation / Re: If bitcoin will accepted worldwide for legal then price rising $100k?? on: July 09, 2023, 03:25:58 PM
If btc is legally accepted in all countries then huge number of investors will increase. and the use of btc in various fields will increase.

what is your opinion about this?

Adoption doesn't necessary mean the price will increase but Bitcoin will begin to be used as a currency. There's an anticipations that when bitcoin will be accepted worldwide that the price will increase and that's why many investors are buying Bitcoin to hold and be expectant.

Example, when adoption happends, investors would have nothing left to be expecting and may reduced their interest. One of the many things making people interested in Bitcoin is the volatility of the market, if that was to stop happening many people will lose interest.

Bitcoin adoption doesn't have any direct relationship to do with Bitcoin price, but it'll make Bitcoin to become more global and more people will get to know about bitcoin which will increase the number users getting involved. With Bitcoin adoption the usage of Bitcoin increase.
3608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What attracted you to gambling?Share your experience whether good/bad. on: July 09, 2023, 03:13:52 PM
Though I've had losses in gambling but I've never had such a sad one like he's, I was introduced to gambling by a coursemate in college who won a jackpot, thought I lost in my first three trials but played again and won about 80k in my local currency, there are people that's made millions through gambling and some others are yet to win but still find it difficult to quit, share your experience if you have any whether good or bad, cause I believe there are people here who would learn from it.

Many people got into gambling because of the potential they saw with gambling giving them a way out of their poverty situations. Gambling is the last hope of any man to make money, I got into gambling after trying several means to make money but couldn't then I gambled.

My experience in gambling hasn't been what I expected as if I was lucky like some of the lottery winners I won't be here today writing this as I'll be enjoying my life on an isolated island somewhere in the middle of no where but we thank God the stories isn't sorrowful.

Without gambling many people would had gone into crimes because of trying the get an income to bring home to their family. Gambling has saved many lives although it has destroyed many too but that's because those people refuse to follow the rules to avoid addiction.
3609  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will fall or rise? $30400 the recent price on: July 07, 2023, 06:34:24 PM
My expectation for BTC has not changed since we broke above the $30k previous resistance zone and since then, Bitcoin has strongly remained above this level for a couple of days now, which is a sign of strength. From the monthly perspective, I'm very optimistic about Bitcoin reaching the price of $40k first in the coming weeks, rather than seeing it go below $30k.

I'm also optimistic but not optimistic to think that we'll see Bitcoin trading at $40,000 before it trades below $30,000 again. The price now is $30,300 which means there's a higher possiblity of Bitcoin trading below $30,000 before the weeks ends if nothing positive happens.

Bitcoin trading below $30,000 doesn't mean we'll be heading to a bearish market, we might bounce back immediately and that momentum can push the price to above $35,000 and the market creates a new support for the price to continue pumping to $40,000 and beyond.

We shouldn't be too bothered though about the short term prices that Bitcoin will be trading at because we'll be heading into next year with big hopes as that's the halving year and Bitcoin will receive lots of interest as people prepare for the bull market that we will be expecting
3610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 07, 2023, 05:52:16 PM
Being a gambling addicts is not a guarantee that could mean you will definitely win because of that, it may even be the reason why you may always appear far away from winning at this cause, this will call for more of the understanding of gambling than being addicted without anything to show after.

There is no good advantage of been an addict, addiction just has all disadvantages because it'll make you over gamble and put you at a risk of always losing and revenge gambling. Addiction doesn't mean you'll win your bets as winning doesn't make you addicted instead.

It's when you constantly lose that you become obsessed with winning and always gamble to try to win. You'll exceed your gambling budget because of this and probably gambling on loan funds just to make sure you win. This are the gambling patterns of an addictive gambler.

To stop your gamble addictions, you'll need to see a professional as they can help you in this situations. They have helped those before you that were addicted so they'll have the experience to help change your gambling pattern to help reduce the hours you spend gambling.
3611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 05, 2023, 03:56:42 PM
To break free from the cycle of losses, the gambler has to gamble qualitatively. Have a budget, set a time frame for gambling and do not go above your budget or the time you have allocated to gambling. Have other outdoor habits too. These are the starting points or the baby steps that should be taken to break free from the cycle of losses.

Your solution would be helpful to gamblers but will be hard for gamblers to do, gamblers are known for gambling continuously without taking break. It isn't the best practice but still gamblers do it with hopes of winning as they believe the more they gamble the higher their chances.

Placing bets based on guess work will only lead you to losing. If you want to profit from sport betting then you have to familiarize with the sport that you're interested in betting on and get to know what make a teams to have advantage over the opportunity, like home advantage.

Another reason that make gamblers to lose in sport betting is because they become addicted. Sport betting can be very addictive as the games are interesting to watch and when you get some prediction right, you might get tempted to risk more money to make more profits then lose .
3612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 02, 2023, 04:01:07 PM
I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?

The article should be correct because from the data I have seen online it's between 18-21 but some countries have lesser age like 16 but it isn't common like the age of 18-21 years. An adult should be able to make good decisions and an adult age is from 18 years.

Through KYC verification procedure that's how the online casino enforce the minimum age limit to gamble. With your KYC details casino can determine your age and allow you to continue gambling or stop you but this isn't a 100% perfect because KYC data can be bought online.

If any casinos or gambling platforms is found to be guilty about allowing under age gamblers on purpose they will be persecuted, but the authorities will have to prove that the platform knew that there were underage gamblers using the platform before they can be fined.
3613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 02, 2023, 12:43:38 PM
Actually I want to give up gambling altogether, but it's very difficult. Now I limit myself to only playing on weekends.. But sometimes I still lust, and spend all my weekly pay. If that happens, I will ban myself from playing until next month.

If you want to give up completely from gambling, you first have to restrict yourself from any forms of gambling relating activities which could also be promotions like what you're doing by wearing your signature campaign codes that's a gambling platforms, you have to cut all connections.

It might be because you're always writing on the gambling section of the forum due to your campaigns requirements that's why you're finding it difficult to quit. When you noticed gambling isn't benefiting you, you have to stop playing because you'll be causing more harm.

We have other campaigns that aren't focusing on the gambling boards, you can enroll in any of them and post on other boards without been denied payment because if you do that while in your campaign, you'll not meet up the weekly demand by the campaign and not get paid.
3614  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: July 02, 2023, 12:33:26 PM
We cannot consider any betting without money as gambling. There are some situations where money is not exchanged but is treated as a bet. I have some friends who sometimes bet with some others friends where they don't prioritize money. But if they lose the bet they are obliged to give treats. Can i consider such bets as gambling? Definitely not, Because there is no direct relation to money. Moreover, no one has any regrets even if they lose.

When gambling you have to risk something that if you lose you also lose that thing that you staked earlier so what your friends were doing was betting or gambling depending on the name you want to give it. Betting or gambling isn't done with only money there's other things that can be used.

People can bet with anything that represents money to them or they have value in. Example if I was to stake my Bitcoin for a bet and someone doesn't know what Bitcoin is then they won't value it but for those that are informed about what bitcoin is, they'll accept the bet.

In your words there was an obligations that has to be done if anyone lose and that's what makes it a bet, the treat that had to be given is what's used to represent money in your example. Value was given to the treat like what money represent in the gambling world.
3615  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: July 02, 2023, 12:22:45 PM
All the people are not the same so there are many variations in their way of thinking. KYC seems normal to some but dangerous to others. Overall casino gambling platform can benefit a gambler in several ways. In particular, it is possible to get proper solutions for withdrawal and account related problems. Now a days a gambler's personal information is stored securely in all the reputable casinos or gambling platforms. A gambler can be involved in various types of crimes. Once KYC is completed, casino gambling platforms have information of the customers so that no one can commit crimes.

I agree that everyone isn't the same and some people won't care what happens to their information but for those that are security cautious when casino make it a must for KYC to be done they're not been fair to this users and besides they can't protect the users information.

All popular casinos are centralized and centralized system don't have a good record for protecting users information. The servers are hackable and our private information can be stolen then sold to those that might use them for crimes and we get indicted without knowing.

Casino benefits gamblers that's why they have to respect the rules of the casino to pass the KYC so they can withdraw theirs wins but it's because they don't have an alternative way out if not gamblers won't have been completing KYC because we know they aren't saved.
3616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: July 01, 2023, 09:24:26 PM
Don't worry yourself mate, you will need to be a very infleuncial person in order for you to actually gather up some referral bonus from sites that gives them. No doubt this referral thing is very stressful and I have tried so many times myself and it all seem to not be working and I deduce my final conclusion that only influential people who has lots of contacts thats if you are sharing by contacts or followers on their handle that can possibly work out this referrals

Social media algorithm has changed so anybody that has interest in commission based income can do it now and become successful. You have to be innovative in your marketing and not only depending on your contacts or followers. Both twitter and tiktok has a new algorithm.

This new algorithm can make your contents to go viral and trend on any of the platforms even when you don't have lots of followers and from your contents been popular you can get your new audience to register and generate revenue for yourself through referral.

Gambling as a source of income can be very risky because just like the cryptocurency market, gambling is very unpredictable but the business aspect of gambling like owning a franchise, been a promoter of the casinos or sportsbook can be a major source of income
3617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: July 01, 2023, 08:35:01 PM
Well, some people continue playing even after winning big, hoping to win even more. I assume that most of the time, these winnings are only added to the player's bankroll, without deciding to withdraw any or even a portion of it. I think this scenario is primarily observed among common gamblers who lack discipline. On the other hand, those who are disciplined enough will cash out some or all of their winnings and then take a break, enjoying their profit.

Life is all about experience, those who had experience losses after they won a big bet but didn't take a break from gambling would quit the next time they win a big bet but those who hasn't had the experience wil continue gambling until they get same results then they take precautions.

When you win big, just relax a little don't put yourself under pressure to win another bet because you'll be operating under the influence that you can replicate the similar big win you had with the previous bet and this can lead to you losing all the money you won or a large part of it.

All gamblers should be wise, take profit when you win. It doesn't have to be a big win because you have to start building the behavior now so it won't be hard for you to do in the future. Gambling isn't an investment that you can keep holding, one wrong move and you could lose everything.
3618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 01, 2023, 07:57:22 PM
I don't have a gambling addiction, but I acknowledge that there are issues with my gambling habits that need to be addressed and corrected. One of the effective ways to tackle this is by observing, imitating, or modifying the patterns of other gamblers to suit me best. I'm curious about your own gambling lifestyle. Do you set aside specific times each day or week for gambling? If you enjoy sports betting, do you bet on games throughout the week whenever they're available? When it comes to visiting casinos, do you play at one today or this week and then try out a different one the next time you want to gamble?

Gambling addiction doesn't just start from anywhere it's as a result of the ways you have been gambling. It could be you gambled too much without taking a break and this lead to you getting addicted or you mishandled you're finances by exceeding over your budget.

When that continue, it became a lifestyle for you. As a gamble you have to have a pattern and not just gamble whenever you feel like doing so, you have to be in control of your gambling activities.Personally I gamble during the weekend so if there was to be any games going on doing the weekdays I won't gamble

I'll have to wait for those that'll be played during the weekends for my to be able to gamble. I love watching the games while I bet . My job also makes it possible I don't have any free time until it's the weekends so it fits into my routine perfectly and makes me to have a pattern.
3619  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin will fall or rise? $30400 the recent price on: July 01, 2023, 04:35:58 PM
After the SEC did not want to approve bitcoin spot ETF, bitcoin fall from $31000 back to $30400 as of today price. Bitcoin has been staying between $29400 and $31250 since many days. The support as been at $30000 while the resistance as been at $31000. The market is difficulty to know which position to take. What are you people predicting that bitcoin price would be? Is bitcoin breaking the resistance and increase above $31000 which could take the price to $35000, or bitcoin price is getting back to $25000 again?

I didn't know Bitcoin dipped but the quick corrections took Bitcoin price to $29,500 and Bitcoin has recovered and the price is back up to 30,560. This time around I know where I'll be placing my bet and that's for $31,000 to be brokens before the first week of the month is passed.

The resistance at $31,000 won't hold up long, the resistance that we'll have at $35,000 that's where we should have more worries because if there's not much buy pressure we can't cross that price but if Bitcoin pass that price and stays above it we're in good hands then.

The market handled the rejection news quite well because it didn't affect the market that much and that means we're having less investors that wants to sell their Bitcoin and it could be because investors are now interested only in accumulating instead of selling due to fud.
3620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 30, 2023, 07:34:50 AM
Even though people realize how bad gambling can be, it doesn't stop them from continuing to gamble because they see an opportunity to earn a lot of money from gambling. But if they learn from other people's experiences, they shouldn't try to play gambling because from seeing other people playing gambling, they will know that other people have lost a lot. Besides that, these people also experience gambling addiction, which is the biggest problem that must be cured immediately.

People don't stop playing because they know gambling isn't a bad thing to do and it's an avenue to give you extra income that will help in making you have a comfortable life. What everyone is after is been able to afford what they need to survive in this world because things are expensive.

Gambling with precautions isn't bad and if you can do that then you don't need to stop gambling. Gambling has given lots of people good life and also causes many to regret ever betting and this is because they didn't take precautions and weren't careful when gambling.

Gambling is a very addictive thing that when you start if you're not watchful of how you're betting you might have gone too deep before you realize your mistakes. If you noticed you're getting addicted, you have to stop before it gets too late to correct yourself.
