381  Economy / Economics / Re: Lock your bank balance on: March 31, 2024, 06:44:08 AM
For real I have seen such features in an online banking app here in my country, although it helps to save funds that will be spent in nearest days but not as a life time savings because it's absolutely a bad idea to keep good amount of money in the bank where it will depreciate in value as time goes on.

There are times that one might need this money's and then It becomes stressful to begin to find how to get the money when you have them locked some where, if we want to store a money then I suggest you use crypto (bitcoin) to keep then perhaps it will be very.

That is why if you want to do some locked in savings in your bank, make sure thay you already diversify your money and do not forget to allocate an emergency fund because if you need a money, you can't easily withdraw the money that you've deposited in your locked in account, Take note that if you want to grow your money, you might consider the locked in Investment and saving account in other banks so that even if your money is hold for how many years, you can have some dividends from your own money.

The message sent towards kids regarding gambling and any similar activity is very clear, kids should not gamble no matter what as they are not mature enough to decide what it is the best thing for them and their future, and some kids are deciding to ignore this advice on their own and they try to gamble by any means possible, and since as a society we cannot stop kids from doing so, as they can always find a loophole and find a way to gamble, we need to make those kids responsible for their actions, because as a society we are doing everything we can already.
we have to prepare anticipatory steps to overcome this problem and the most important step is to recognize the signs that children have started to get involved in gambling, we have to stop them before they become addicted to gambling and we have to actively guide children about the rules of gambling and the impacts negative effects on mental health and financial loss if you gamble underage and are not yet financially free.

I think if we monitor their activities then it will be easy to stop them from being influenced by gambling before they become addicted to gambling, if we can stop them from being influenced by gambling then we have saved their lives and dreams to focus on education.

It is really necessary for our children who are minors to monitor their activities, not necessarily every move, it's like we should be aware of what they do, what they are interested in and of course the circles of friends they hang out with should we know, let's just do it in a minimal way, don't be super strict because as others say, a child becomes more rebellious if we restrict them too much, we also need to respect their privacy, that's why It would be good if we can build a good relationship between parents and children in them so that they themselves will tell stories or open up topics to their parents about their own lives.
383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: March 31, 2024, 03:36:06 AM
The reason why I'm not addicted to gambling is because even before I started to play gambling I already understand gambling and its addiction, and my understanding has helped me on how to follow up gambling. Sometimes I ask myself why do people get addicted to gambling, is it because they have no understanding or awareness about the addiction of gamble.

 I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.

I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding.  Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.

Same here! That's one of the reason why I'm still a simple gambler and still not developing a gambling addiction. Out of curiousity, I randomly checked my own self and my previous gambling activity to see if there's something new in my attitude towards gambling, that's how I maintain myself when it comes to this matter. Having a strong determination and strictly following your own rules in gambling is very helpful too, So I suggest to those beginners who wants to know our secrets by not being addicted in gambling, Do not break your own rules and do not greed consume you because it may lead you to a disaster moments in your life.

It is no longer a new thing and is also not hidden when a family member turns into gambling addicts, no matter how he tried to hide it their parent must know, except those are not smart enough to know the behavior of their children. One good sign to know about gambling addicts is when they often complained about money either they don't have money or their salaries doesn't worth anything in their home. With this you should be able to know, while initially that same work what was they were using to sustain their families and loved once.
If you are that sensitive enough then you can call them to order to question them how they are spending and managing their funds, this same thing happened to a close relatives which we kept complaining about his money. An investigation was carried out that he is seriously addicted into gambling therefore the places he usual gambles was notified not allow him gamble anymore when he comes to place any bet, at some point he began to use someone and the information was leaked that he started using someone to gamble.

I know someone who has this exact experience before, actually he is not a minor anymore, he is at the right age and has a good job, but one time his parents noticed that his son seems to be problematic and there are times when he always locks himself in the room and does not go to work, the son excuses that He was on vacation leave, so the parents believed him, but one time, the parents were surprised because his son was asking for money because he had something important to use, which is weird because their son had never been like that, until they found out that the savings were being paid of their son was all consumed by gambling, the son tried to hide about his problem but his parents found out because they only live in the same house so only changes will really be noticed.
385  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the #1 rule you live by in sports betting? on: March 30, 2024, 03:03:01 PM
"Don't gamble using savings"

I always remember this rule, because most gamblers gamble using their savings which they shouldn't gamble with. Savings are very important, whether tomorrow I'm sick or because of another emergency, at least I have savings which I can use for this urgent situation and that will certainly help me a lot. So because of this, I always remember this rule.

One of the best of best rule in gambling, even if some people always say this, there's still other gamblers who tends to use their own savings for gambling, especially if the alloted budget for their gambling is already exhausted. One of the things that I can see why they are forced to use their own savings is because of temptations and greediness. Always remember that once we know how to follow our own rule, we will become successful in achieving not to become addicted on it.
386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What nature of the the rewarding games would you prefer playing with friends on: March 30, 2024, 09:34:49 AM
Would you prefer the game that the winner would earn some edible stakes? The one which the looser would earn being punished or any friendly disciplinary measures? Or such games that specifically involves stake of funds amongst your friends for the winners rewards?

Me: I would prefer the above exempts the one with the stakes of funds involved.

What's yours?

I would prefer to stake non-monetary materials when I am playing with friends and family who are not gamblers. My position is that using money could cause friction or disagreement if these people are not true gamblers. They might be offended if they lose and some might even want a refund of their losses. I wouldn't want to have problems with family members because of gambling and money is usually one of the major cause of problems. I used to gamble with a group of relatives who were cousins. These guys were professional gamblers who understood the activity and there have never been any issues. Losers go back home without any ill feelings while winners are free to enjoy their wins and on some occasions, they might decide to buy some bottles of beer or give out small tips to losers. In summary, if these relatives are non-gamblers, I wouldn't stake money, but if they are professionals, money will be my best choice.   

Same here! especially my other sets of friends are not open to gambling, it's hard to play with them if there's money involved because it's really possible to have misunderstandings and disagreements especially when they lose, of course there are different questions which is difficult to explain because they are not familiar with gambling, so it is better to bond with them without money involved, not unless as you mentioned that if some of them are professional gamblers, there will be no problem as long as they can accompany me in what I do, it's easy to talk if the person you're talking to has the same interest and background in the activity you're doing.
387  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: March 30, 2024, 12:23:10 AM
In fact, I don’t even understand how it’s possible to spend an entire salary on gambling, a person simply needs something to pay bills, and if he spends his entire salary on gambling, what will he eat? You need to plan your budget correctly, after receiving your salary you need to calculate your necessary expenses, see how much is left after that, set aside part of this money, and only a very small percentage of this amount can be allocated to gambling, this will be reasonable budget management, which will save a person from nonsense.

In my opinion, people who spend their salaries only on gambling may have too much faith in gambling that they can get big wins that can change their economic situation drastically, so they dare to have big hopes and put aside their obvious basic needs that must be paid attention to. as you said, paying bills or providing food for their survival is no longer a priority when they have completely believed in gambling which will give them victory. and I think people like that seem to have problems with their thinking because they dare to risk their survival for things that are not certain or clear that will produce positive results in the future.

If they spend their salary just on gambling and don't pay attention to their needs that need to be taken care of then what will happen is the destruction of their lives. We should be able to manage our finances well, as you said, prioritizing the needs for survival and when there is money left over, then it can be used for things that are not considered necessary, such as doing habits that are said to be hobbies, such as perhaps gambling or fishing or others.

when it reaches the point that a person has become like that, it means that he has experienced a big win in gambling, because it is unlikely that a person can change their mind and spend their entire salary on gambling, maybe they see that gambling can always give the money they can't earn from working, but that's wrong because we know what can happen if you let yourself become that kind of gambler
.If they allow themselves to continue such work, their life  will really be ruined, it is even possible that you will not be able to report properly on your work because there is a good chance that your attention will be focused on gambling, but what will happen if you don't have a job? meaning you don't have any money for gambling because the money you earn from work depends only on gambling. Let's think carefully about what will help our life not what will destroy it, there are many who aspire to have a good life and job, let's not train them when an opportunity comes.
388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: March 29, 2024, 10:35:41 PM
I think Patience is not only required in Gambling to succeed but they are a very important part of life if you have patience you will be successful in life. Patience is the key to success the more you have patience more you have chances to succeed in life. In Gambling or life, patience is very important to control your emotions in life to succeed. I think Patients have benefits not only from gambling but in every field of life that depends on patients to succeed. One more important question is how patients play a role in gambling and life. Patient is an essential practice that allows you to do effective planning, not only in gambling but also in various aspects of life one important step is Controlling your emotions is fundamental for long-term success in gambling and real life.

Patience is essential in gambling because you have to be patient rather than panic to keep yourself in control. Gambling losses create tension in us and we panic to recover the losses. that's why patience is needed so that you don't panic at the time of loss and instead of trying to quickly recover the loss, I think it will give good results if you try to recover the loss slowly through sure bets of low Odd with patience. so one must be patient when it comes to gambling

when it comes to gambling, you also need iconsider your own behavior especially patience, for me, this is one of the important things we have, having long patience and proper decision making. We need to know when is the right time to stop gambling especially if you are already experiencing winnings, We need to be patient especially if we keep losing in the early game so that we don't panic and make the wrong decision.

In today affiliate market is surrounding very fast it is really simple to understand how it is working moreover many of users are already explained it well. But you have get it first that affiliate market is not for every one. Like for youtube or a campaign manager and if you have large channel on telegram then it could be little work. And always affiliate those site who have good reputation not those who are new wiht Charminng marketing.

yeah, but sometimes affiliates marketing also works to other people with a small community channel, you just have to really work hard or use money, so your pages/sites appear as ads on other social platforms, that's almost what others do so they get more customers and clients, especially if you will do this full time freelance job, you need to work out all the tools you will use before you start, Take note that when it comes to affiliation, you need super extra effort so that the outcome of something you promote is good.
390  Other / Off-topic / Re: What if an employee of a betting company misuses company funds for gambling? on: March 29, 2024, 09:40:26 PM
Do you think a betting company or casino will understand and not arrest an employee who has access to company funds and then misuses it for gambling? If this employee claims that he is battling from gambling addiction, will he be considered for a lighter punishment? If you own such a casino or betting platform, what will you do to such an employee, understanding that addiction to gambling can make people make decisions that are unexpected.

that kind of sin in a company is not just tolerated and ignored, just like in normal business companies, there is a sanction given to such employees especially the funds themselves are being discussed here, it seems like internal fraud/theft happened , you even mentioned that if the employee is suffering from a gambling addiction, that's when there will be a problem because it is possible that such an issue will repeat itself if the incident is ignored.

I don't keep it a secret, I just don't talk about it, but if there are people around me who would ask about it then I would just answer it honestly.
I don't plan to deny it, if I would do something that I want why would I even deny it? it is not illegal in my country and it is normal.
They just need to open the topic in order for me to talk about my gambling habit, I don't really plan to brag about it or what, but I don't want the one to initiate the conversation.

well, good for you, it just means that you don't think too much about what other people will comment about you once they know you gamble. Most of the gamblers here, the reason why they hide it is because they don't want to be judged and others are tired of explaining to other people and honestly speaking? I'm one od them. There are even instances where others think you have a lot of money because you gamble but they have no idea that there are only more losses than winnings.
392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Going all in and losing the bet on: March 29, 2024, 09:40:19 AM
I was just playing Hi-Lo, making small dollar bets, if it's 5 number card I select higher card and win, if it's 10 number then I go with 'low' and win.

Then I was greeted with Ace card, minimal possibility for equal card right (i.e, Ace), so I go all in, and guess what happens, the result is Ace means I lost the bet.

Then I have all sorts of thoughts blaming casino, like do they manipulate the result of the game when user goes all in. I am sure they are all fair, it's just that the possibility of losing the game may be minimal but it's never 0.

it looks like the casino made a noise when you went all in mate or maybe you just went unlucky that time? kidding aside, that's normal, the biased judgment when we lose a game, because you didn't see yourself that you might be getting greedy. Why did you go all in if you already got the right strategy or technique? I hope you made the most of the flow and momentum of the winnings. It's kinda regretful because you already won with your minimum bets but when you went all in hoping for a big jackpot prize, then all your winnings were scraped. I can't say that the casino manipulated the slots because if that's what happened, it seems unfair to everyone because that's a form of cheating. Lesson learned to everyone that we should know how to strategize an exit plan especially when you think you are ahead of your winnings, there is nothing wrong with quitting, rather than going home with zero in your pocket.
393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How old would you be by 2140? on: March 29, 2024, 09:13:15 AM
Absolutely. Bitcoin's resilience against FUD and FOMO showcases its core strength as a decentralized store of value. Looking ahead to 2140, the year of the last Bitcoin's mining, prompts reflection on the importance of long-term financial planning. Investing in Bitcoin now may offer significant benefits given its scarcity and growing adoption, making it worth considering regardless of age or concerns.

I'm not sure if I'll still be alive when the year 2140 arrives, but all I can say is that bitcoin has already shown its long term plan, so it means that this is a good indication that one of the things that will help us when it comes to financial matters is to invest in crypto, imagine? after 116 years the last bitcoin mining will be finished, that's when we will think that we should really invest here but of course not just putting money in here, it's better that everyone has knowledge before entering into any investment to avoid regrets once something went wrong.
394  Economy / Economics / Re: The benefits of risk taking on: March 29, 2024, 08:54:57 AM
Risk is when a person is exposing him/her self to dangers, possibility of incurring loss or misfortune
So many people run away from business opportunities just because they fear they will run into loose and didn't want to take such risk
I have come to the realization that the word risk is part of life and that it is better you take part in it than not
From history it has been said that the great entrepreneur and business men/woman where all risk takers when you take risk you throw your self to the real of possibilities

Is it related to the other thread regarding change career or something? If so, like what I've always told to other people, I'm a firm believer that everyone has their own destined career future, we aren't able to tell other people what they need to do, maybe some of us are destined to become a business owners but majority is destined to become a great employee in a company because in every society needs a balance. About taking a risk, I know that not all people are risk taker, there are some who's afraid to take a risk in their life because of some personal reason or maybe they are just contented on what they have in their life and that's totally fine, we don't have to force them to take a risk because before we tell them this, they already know it and it's their choice if they stay in the position they have in their lives now.
395  Economy / Economics / Re: How does one know and join the right community after a job loss? on: March 29, 2024, 08:33:48 AM

For those of us who have a dream or have a pulling towards a certain area of our life, it may be that's why it's been difficult to keep a job because you just can't shake off the thoughts of fulfilling that dream.

If along the line you suddenly loss your job for one reason or the other and now you have to rely on whatever wits and skills you have to survive with a family, instead of trying to look for another job and be doomed to misery, supposing you have some skill of sort that has been hidden and waiting to be explored, how do you hone such a skill, so much so that you earn from it?

It may be a strange post, but if one has to make wealth and be of value in this life he /she has to be able to love their work so much so that it seems they don't work at all and that's because such persons do what they love or do what they understand best.

With such disappointment as a job loss and in an economic situation like the one we are faced with in our country, and living in a new environment where it's easier to meet the wrong categories of person,

My question is that, how does one go about joining the right community to fulfil a dream after a job loss?

How does one know the right persons to follow and community to join to help them achieve their dream or purpose in this life?

Your thoughts are welcomed!


You are definitely blessed with good fortune if you enjoy your work, but it's also possible to make even the most mundane jobs more palatable with the right state of mind. Not many people necessarily want to go to work, even if they love what they do, so that is one thing to bare in mind. If you're unhappy with your job then you have to look and most importantly grasp any opportunities as they become available, because the window may close quicker than you think. It's perfectly normal to jump around a few different jobs as you're getting older, if you are lucky you might stumble into one that you find is much more enjoyable than others. A job can even be affected by the environment you work in and the people that surround you, which can make a huge difference.

It's true, many people today, even if they have a good job, prefer to resign and find what they really want to do or career to pursue in their lives. I believe that each person has his own destiny when it comes to career, some are destined to do business and others are destined to be employees, it really depends on his skills and abilities that we have. as you mentioned, it is normal to explore other things until we find the career that we really want to do especially when we get older, we will look for the peaceful surroundings rather than the chaotic and noisy side of the world.
396  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: March 29, 2024, 08:10:35 AM
           -   Yes, I thought about the title of this topic that you made. There are other countries that don't like bitcoin, and yet when there is a casino that applies under their regulation to legally operate in their country, they are given a license, even though the casino itself accepts bitcoin or cryptocurrency as one of the things that will be used. match the casino platform.

This really makes sense to me. Maybe that's because the government has as much interest in the casino itself and doesn't care about the system that the gambling platform has. Because the tax that the casino will pay is also taken from the gamblers who play on their gambling platforms, right?

The government cannot tax bitcoin directly but they can tax the platforms that are using bitcoin, most popular ones are casinos and exchanges. If a country does not like bitcoin, of course they'll ban anything that uses bitcoin, including gambling sites.

Since you explained that there's a country that doesn't like bitcoin and yet they tax or regulate a casino that is accepting bitcoin, can you name a specific casino you are referring?

Or we can china as an exchange, we know that they ban bitcoin, so the question  is, do they regulate a casino that accepts bitcoin?


Well said, that's how the government is, because they can't move or interfere with crypto especially bitcoin but they will find any loopholes to make a way for them to get money from crypto users so when they found out that other casino houses accept bitcoin as a means of payment, then they will take action and voila! Hello tax was their solution. Believe it or not, most of the government employees are aware of the movement of crypto so some of them have an idea of ​​what to do so that they can milk the citizens pocker who are crypto users, but to think of it, they themselves are crypto users as well.

👉👉when you are in need of money urgently
Some people gamble the most when they are in need of urgent money. They use the little in their account to gamble believe they can double the money in no time through gambling to do what they want to do. This most times go wrong making them to lose the little they should have save for that purpose

When people lose their money by gambling, their emotions become very high due to which they break down and at that time they think of various misdeeds. Especially when you lose a bet, if you don't have money, you will think of different ways to raise money. There are people who lose money and take emergency loans or borrow money from others to gamble, and there is no greater disappointment than when they lose that money. So a user should always save money before gambling so that when he loses then he doesn't have to go into debt. Rather, he should tend to save money in his account so that later he can double his profit from betting, otherwise bad things await him in the future if he is in debt. So one should be very careful while gambling and keep the money in hand, otherwise it will definitely be a risk to his life if he sinks too much on gambling.

maybe it's better to say that we shouldn't be gambling if we don't have extra money for it. do you get it? We also cannot say that we should save or use the savings for gambling because in the first place, the savings should not be used because they are reserved for more important things and if we weigh it, gambling is not included in the list of important things for a person, unless you are an addict. The best way to avoid getting into debt is to know how to budget our time, money and interest in gambling in order to avoid ending up addicted to it.

Hi,

There are always things that we are passionate about doing, such as video games, football, basketball, and sports in general, meaning that everyone has something that excites them and makes them want to do.
Like others, I get very excited when I sit down, take my phone, and start my bets. This does not mean that I am addicted, but rather I find it more comfortable and I have more fun.

Does gambling excites you? What motivates you, winning or just the fun in it ?

I think that if it doesn't excite or entertain you, then it is a bit of a wast of money.

The most probable outcome is to lose your money, so might as well have some fun at it.

Yeah right, That's what I'm thinking too, so with that at least the money you bet did something good, it doesn't mean that you're gambling or betting that you're wasting money, it's just wasted if you don't receive anything like emotional outcome or other things that come from gambling. Since you just want to gamble for your leisures, it's like you're paying for the pleasure you receive, it's just a bonus if you win, but there are other people because when it comes to gambling, the first thing that comes to their mind is the possible monetary winnings we can get here.

Hi community,

We always hear about a gambler who has been harassed, expelled, or banned from a casino for a number of justified or unjustified reasons. There are those who have been banned for violating the laws or internal regulations of the casino, or for suspicious actions that negatively affect the course of play, or chaos inside the casino, or for other unknown reasons.

Have you been in this situation before?
It's a pleasure to hear your story.

I have never experienced this incident, first of all, I can say that I am a responsible gambler especially when I go to different casino houses, I maintain my proper posture as a gambler and I avoid embarrassing myself especially since we meet different people in casino houses.  I've read before that the people who are kicked out or has been banned in casino house are gamblers who are not in the right mind and are harassing the casino dealers, They are completely banned and can even be charged with harassment for what they do.

I was wondering how does casino affiliates programs work.

I have a friend who is an affiliate marketer. He does affiliate programs for various sectors. For example in the health sector, finance sector, educational sector and so many. It got me thinking after he tried introducing me into it, he is trying to make me change my mind from gambling in 8 ball pool instead i should use the money to get an online affiliate course.

Am curious right now, to know how does affiliates program work in gambling. I know gambling is big niche and they also run affiliate programs, so anyhow have an idea?

It's like you have to do something, like a promotion and advestisement using your own thoughts, videos, post and such ways to share information about the casino, The goal is to invite many participats as you can and you will have a commission in every invites that you have, so you need to expand your socials to have large viewers on your channel. That's how affiliates works but correct me if I'm wrong because I've been doing affiliates too in other online marketing shops and that's how I earned my commissions.
