41  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing all your fortune with just 3 years on: May 13, 2024, 08:38:26 AM
I’m not sure if this story was already shared here but I just recently watch this gambler sad story from social media that is really heartbreaking.

The subject is Terrance Watanabe which is a successful businessman who has a huge business and money that becomes addicted on gambling. He lose a total of 127M which is all his fortune that he earn from his business. Imagine all your hardworking was turn out to nothing after a few years of gambling addiction.

The sad part here was he became a victim of casino scheme of alluring user with their offers and allowing him to play while drunk until he loss everything.

He manage to wager a whooping 825M $ in just a single year when he lose that 127M.


Source: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/gambler-lost-127m-in-2007-sues-casino/

Now this is a crazy story, not a sad one.

127 Million is already a lot, I can live a great life with just 1M in dollars what is this man looking for? Was he under a witchcraft power or something? Why is he gambling? To make trillions? This man is a example of massive greed, in one single man, he'll no, I won't feel pity for such person.

While he was saving his hard earned money he should be thinking about investing most of the amount instead of gambling everything away, he is a useless piece of trash, in fact I am very angry with this person, someone like him should be gambling for fun because he already have it all.

He can play these games without using big amount of money, because I believe that most gamblers are into gambling to make money, but he already have it all, what else is he looking for? May humans are asking for grace to get to where he was in life, nonsense.

I could sound cruel but this man deserves what happened to him.
42  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 13, 2024, 07:15:57 AM
Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.
No matter how much gambling is legalized, gambling must have a specific set of rules and regulations to follow. A gambler must have an age limit to participate in gambling events. A gambling and casino policy states that no boys or girls under the age of 18 may participate in gambling. College students cannot participate in gambling because a student can never build an academic career by participating in gambling and casinos along with their studies. However, in a country where gambling is legal, it must be accepted that the law has been enacted in the case of gamblers. If a country has allowed children under 18 years of age or school and college students to participate in gambling, it is a different matter.

I don't think that the government can solve this problem, it is true that a college student can't build a career by participating in gambling but what about the parents? I believe that parents are the biggest problems we have in the society today.

Many people just believe that bringing a kid into this world is normal thing they can just do, they have no awareness of who they are, and they don't even ask if they can actually raise a child, in my own country, you will see parents asking their kids to make money anyway possible.

Even if the child is around 18 years old you will see parents expecting such child to bring home some money, the truth is not all parents are qualified as true parents, they are not supposed to give birth in the first place.

There was a latest story that took place just a week ago, where a 10 years old boy came back home spreading dollars on his mother and father and the street is filled with drummers, the parents were dancing that their underage kid is now rich, instead of them to ask where he got the money from, this is what is happening today in this world.

Government can only try, and let's not forget that the people in a country is what makes the country, lands are just lands, if people of my country are switched with people of Germany, it will still be the same, those who are parenting today are the biggest problem of the world today.
43  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: They put an end to online gambling: what do you think it's going to happen? on: May 12, 2024, 09:45:47 AM
Earlier this morning I was going to work in a bus I over heard, some one complaining very badly that if the government tries to put an end to gambling. That many people will die in hungry with this our economy which nothing is working, no work for people food are at higher amount in their and some people are benefiting from gambling this days, that mostly him his benefiting from gambling.

That with $200 he can stake and win about $100000 daily something that you won't even struggle to get, they can't even pay someone at work monthly up to that amount. So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all. So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?
Wrong, they can't put an end to online gambling they can only restrict the citizens from casinos that are built in the country but online is online, casino owners are wide spread around the world, so people will still gamble if they want.

You can easily avoid the restriction using a VPN connection, but make sure that the online casino supports VPN connection, you should find a way to get in touch with the team and also make sure if the answer is YES you should take screenshots of this answer just in case, because there might come a time where you will need the proof.

As for the 100 dollars to 100k it is impossible to get this in gambling everyday, maybe this was what interest you just because you heard it from someone, well,, unfortunately that person sugar coat gambling, you will lose more before you win, this is for most people that I have seen, it is wiser to use small money on gambling because losing is certain than winning.
44  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Betcoin.AG Deleted my account after I made a withdrawal after winning. on: May 12, 2024, 08:25:53 AM
Sorry just to be clear - did you receive the money you withdrew from the site in your wallet? In the post you made in their Ann thread you mentioned not receiving but in this one you claimed to have received a confirmatory email from them. Which is it?

And I would also advice that you move this thread to scam accusation board or just lock this one and create a new one - which ever is more convenient for you.
Im sorry i wasnt clear enough. I havent recieved anything from them. No withdrawal and no answer or explanation. They just deleted my account and said nothing after I tried to withdraw

I am sorry to hear, that you need to provide more proof because it will be too hard to believe you, I am not saying you are lying but a screenshot will help, also there are many people who claimed to be treated unfairly like this but it was them who broke some rules that is why they can't access their account again.

What you can do is contact the team and explain to them again, I am suggesting to find their ANN on this forum? I am not sure if they have one because I have never used this online casino before.

Whatever happens later please think twice about the online casinos you choose to use because it is a red flag if the casino you choose has no ANN on the forum, your problem will be solved faster if an ANN exists on the forum, unless the casino doesn't care about their reputation anymore.
45  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help me find sites or telegrams to track fixed matches on: May 12, 2024, 07:16:59 AM
I know some group exists that offer such services but they cant be trusted, I have no reason to try them out because it is obvious that they have some sinister plans in place.

Why are you looking for such thing? Also in telegram? The only thing that is true in this app are the official group of crypto projects and we all know that even in those official groups so many scammers are waiting for someone to ask a question, they will immediately start to send them PM impersonating the official group managers.

Telegram as so much scammers just like twitter too, they will pretend to have a solution to your problem and you will be a victim if care is not taken, if anyone truly have this strategy they will never share it with a soul, be careful out there.
46  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Fake website on: May 12, 2024, 06:16:17 AM
Bitcoin investment has been so good to people, but to some they got scammed because they invest in a wrong platform, and now with the way things are going scammer are alway busy creating fake website to scam people

My question is that how can someone dictate a fake website? because is getting too much, is there anyway the comonas need to know things like this if there is any.

They got scammed because they wanted to make quick money, and for everyone that comes into this space as a beginner with the hope to make money fast is vulnerable to mistakes, they have greed in them and that will be the reason they will make every mistake possible.

Beginners don't always have the time to do research, it is only those that don't have money decide to do some research first before they eventually have some money.

A point of correction, beginners shouldn't be investing in any platform, this is crypto world, beginners should hunt for Bitcoin first, because it is less complex than investing in any other things.

It is very easy to do something wrong in the crypto world, beginners must always take their time to do research first before giving up their money.
47  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Dips are temporary but Bitcoin is forever. on: May 10, 2024, 06:22:45 AM
If there are no dips it will be difficult for newbies to buy Bitcoin, I bought a good amount of Bitcoin because of the dips in 2022, at the range of 17k which was a very good entry point for me.

While many beginners are scared of the dips it is a big opportunity for many smart investors, also without dips there will not be a pump, which is why you will see a 20 percent or 30 percent correction when Bitcoin starts to pump, every pullback is gearing up for further push up, the only different is the timing, it can take weeks or even month before it starts to pump again.

It's all thanks to the pullback or else Bitcoin won't make a lot of sense, it takes a long time before newbies understand the importance of correction in the chart, it is necessary for drawing in new buyers to buy at a cheaper rate, it is also important for future price actions.
48  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the main points of gambling? on: May 09, 2024, 03:05:13 PM
Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration
 (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.

I noticed that people now don't actually know their main points of them gambling, some people gamble to earn daily and some people just gamble cause they saw their friends won in gambling. That's how they develop their gambling lifestyle and from their they get addicted to it. I've over heard people complaining about them losses, for me I think they don't know the main points of gambling. What do you think about this people losses much? Does it mean they don't know the main points of gambling?

There are only two types of gamblers that I know.

1. Those who want to make life changing money.

2. Those who are looking to make some money and have great fun while doing it.

I can say that making money is the smallest part of the reason why I am gambling, unlike many people, I just happen to like some casino games and I spend most of my time watching my favourite shows and movies but when I miss gambling I somehow always find my way back.

I can't even advice someone to gamble if they want to make money, that is a bog lie, gambling is not a source of income like many people thought, that is why they mostly end up learning the hard way.

If you want peace for yourself, dont even develop that emotional feeling of making big amount of money through gambling, if it is written that it will happen then maybe you will get lucky, but don't let this be your main reason why you are gambling.
49  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? on: May 09, 2024, 11:23:51 AM
I've a friend of mine who always complain that ever since he started gambling he haven't won a good amount, instead he'll be winning less money than what he expected but he can't stop. So I'm asking what do you suggest he should do at this case. For me I told him that he should know that gambling it's a game of risk and luck, but with the constant betting you might win the amount you've at mind someday. So what are your suggestions towards this.

The constant betting part is misleading, why gave him such advice? Normally the lesser time you spend on a casino the better, because gambling is wired in a way that we humans will keep coming back, for me atleast, this is why I believe that its a absolute win for those who are running a online casino business.

Every thing about gambling is wired against the gambler, the casinos don't even need to cheat, the nature of human will always keep them coming back, we are curious beings and we always believe that the more we put in more effort the better the result will be.

The mistake there is this is gambling, not your life hustle, not your dream job where you need promotion to make more money after you can rank up, this is a game based on pure luck, you need less activity by default.

Hi everyone, I am going to attempt to turn 0.05 BTC into 1.7 BTC with football/soccer betting. I will be using this post as a journal for my bets.

The goal is to be able to pay for medical school! Feel free to follow or fade my bets! Smiley But always bet responsibly.

Starting Balance: 0.05 BTC

Result: -0.025 BTC

New Balance: 0.025 BTC

tips: bc1qgll9gt4gmf8rddnyynrdrmzq9qzv336w7yezce
It is very possible in gambling, and even though it is possible I will stick advice against it, I choose to hold this amount of Bitcoin instead of gambling it away, you can lose it all and have nothing else.

I think for me it is a huge risk, but since you said it is what you can afford to risk then you are rich, that is 3k worth of Bitcoin right now, many who have been buying Bitcoin since 2022 have not gotten to this amount yet, I wish you good luck in this suicide hope for Richy of yours.

Just know that you need luck to make this happen, this is your best bet, no strategy is powerful enough to make this happen, only your luck, if I am in your shoe I will keep the Bitcoin and use small amount of money to start trying my luck in gambling, this is what gambling deserves from anyone.

Gambling is not a source of income or a investment plan, using high amount to gamble is inviting a possible huge risks of losing the entire amount.

Have you successfully influenced someone to invest in bitcoin ?  What was the final result, did they thank you later for this ?

I have successfully influenced so many people and I have lost count already, some I can't say if they are still in the game or not and a few that are closer to me are still buying some Bitcoin right now.

I remember someone thanking me about Bitcoin investment and I couldn't even remember when I helped them out, I have so many contact on my telegram account and I believe this a good way to spread words about Bitcoin, some will like it and some will hate it.

With the situation of the economy in my country right now I doubt I could turn anything around if Bitcoin never exists, all thanks to the creator himself, Satoshi Nakamoto.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamers using demo account on: May 08, 2024, 03:39:28 PM
How true is this rumor? This is very popular on our local streamer comment section that streamers is just using a demo account with enhance winning rate on all slot games to showcase huge win while they are playing.

I knew that only slot game provider has the power to change the RTP of the slot games but some of the comment is from other streamers that has same experience on using demo account.



It is very much possible, because some streamers just keep winning the jackpot as if it is so easy, you will only find out that they are not honest after you try the same online casino yourself.

Not all of them are like this, some of them rely on the donation they get from their streaming service, their fan also, I have seen where by a streamer lost everything on live and the fans started receiving $10 here, 50 there until it got bigger and he started gambling again and later he won big.

The truth is most streamers are faking it all, and in the end they are the real winners because they get paid from the casinos for advertising their platform, streamers have nothing to lose.

If I have to advise any new gambler or someone who is just starting, I will say they should stay away from streamers, the way streamers win on live streaming is abnormal, no gambler will win in such a manner.
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Max Win is the worst thing that could happen to you. on: May 08, 2024, 11:25:05 AM
Sorry to say, hate KYC as much as you like, but you won't be hating that you win some money someday on an online casino, you won't have a choice than to pass the KYC and get your winning, but if truly you hate KYC why not leave that money you won behind? Why give up your KYC in return for money? Isn't that saying something else about you?

Honestly, it makes no sense at all, you can't gamble without passing verification, get used to it already, even all your so-loved online casinos are getting regulated, it is either you stop gambling for good or keep running about, from one non-yet regulated casino to another, good luck with that but what you seek for is now impossible.

There are many people today that will swear by God's name that they are not into illegal activities even on this forum and they don't want the government intervention, who is going to keep people under control? The government have secrets, they are not clean too but I fear humans even more, some are wicked than even the government, if they are given the freedom to do as they like they will destroy everything around them for their own selfish gains.
54  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why do they always attack the newbies? on: May 08, 2024, 10:11:46 AM
The biggest mistake people like you make is not accepting correction as correction, either fair enough or unfair correction it is still a correction, learn from it and don't hold unto the harsh part, you are simply neglecting the part where you are wrong and you will never solve the problem.

There are some corrections I didn't find funny as well on this forum when I was still a beginner but now they don't bother me anymore, having painful experiences is how we grow faster.

You can't run from disappointment, failures, mistakes, and people's opinions, it is only those who don't want to grow or even succeed that find this hard to believe.

I know people who have run away from masters because the masters are too harsh, but the masters have knowledge that they seek, instead of them to endure and gain the knowledge they ran, now they are in regrets.

Improving self won't come easy, you have to endure the pains and harshness that comes with it.
55  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between females and males, who are more resistant to gambling losses?  on: May 08, 2024, 08:33:21 AM
Gamblers who live close to me are most men, and the addicted ones are men, I think gambling is a man thing more than a woman thing, it is not very common to see many women who are gamblers.

I also know how cautious women can be when it comes to money, they don't like losing money all in the name of taking risks, and when things aren't going as they hoped for they find it easier to make a U-turn, unlike men, we will want to see how this ends and most of the time this ends up putting men in more difficult situations.

I don't blame men for being wired this way, men are recognized as a man only when they provide, a man who isn't taking responsibility is more like a woman, I trust my country's people, they will name the man a woman, the weight of responsibility on most men is why they are taking bigger risks.

It is a shame, the society we live in today only recognizes men based on what they have to offer, what many men fail to understand is that gambling isn't for everyone, not all gamblers will be a winner.
56  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is more regulation coming to online gambling? on: May 07, 2024, 03:25:42 PM
Regulated online casinos will only guarantee you one thing, safety, because they have reputations that they have worked so hard to build, all you all seeking for a non regulated casinos don't know what you are talking about.

A non regulated casinos have every reason to deal with you anyhow, they can decide to steal from you and still ban you, I won't dare gamble on a casino thats not regulated and those casinos that made it big are all regulated, that should tell you something.

If your online casino is not regulated it is running illegally, in the real world some people visit local casinos, they don't care about their identity, but when it comes to online casinos everyone want to hide, like what are they hiding from?

Either new or old regulation on all online casinos I don't have a problem with this, i use less than thirty dollars to gamble so what could go wrong? Unless you have something you are hiding, I don't see any reason why anyone will think that this is a bad idea.
57  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Learn a skill instead, you will be set for life. on: May 07, 2024, 11:16:56 AM
From the article, USDT was not the means of laundering the money it was just the payment option they chose, perhaps because they thought it will make the job easier. They tried to use shell companies to clean the money from drugs and then transfer that using crypto, surprising considering the individual involved, but not surprising for some reasons.

Your advice holds good. Crypto doesn't offer a traceless route to hide illegal funds.

They choose the wrong one, it is an example of using what you don't understand, many people still thinks wrongly about how crypto works, it is very complex, if you are not ready to learn you won't know what you ate getting into.

This reminds me of a stranger you wanted to sell USDt to me on telegram at a lesser amount, he said I could buy one USDT for $0.90 each, any greedy bastard would have fallen for this, he does show me some proof of past transactions he did with people.

He is legit in terms of selling those USDT but where the USDT came from is what I was curious about, so I decided to scare him, I said I knew this USDT was stolen, it is stolen fund and what you don't know is that there is a tracker in on every USDt addresses, you are been watched right now.

If I was wrong he wouldn't even care, but instead, he started asking me questions about how he could be tracked, this was how I knew that the Usdt was not clean.

The lesson of the day

Stop being greedy, when something is too good to be true then something is wrong, always be curious about everything, especially good offers online.
58  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Do you have a hard time bringing new people to the forum? on: May 07, 2024, 09:09:16 AM
During the Christmas holidays, I traveled to different places and one of my main target was to introduce Bitcoin and this forum to as many people as I could. I did but it was not really as easy as I expected because at a point, I was confused on where to start and how to proceed. I wanted a way of shortening the entire process for them, knowing that not everyone will be patient to go through the complex and rigorous process of learning about Bitcoin and the forum itself as a newbie. When I was first introduced into this forum, I was overwhelmed by the workload, the rules, many things to learn and indeed the expectations from me as a newbie. I actually ran away, stayed for a very long time before I remembered I had to face the new task for which I signed up.

I picked myself up and proceeded and I consider that one of the best decision of my life. Today I'm more than motivated to help as many people as possible to grasp this whole things as I know the benefits are innumerable. I don't consider it enough to encourage them to read through the forum because I still remember how difficult it was for me as a newbie, so I'm challenged in my spirit that there should be an easier way to go about introducing the entire concept to newbies.  

I don't know if any of you faced this challenge, if yes, how were you able to proceed?

 

Is money involved when bringing people to this forum? The last time I checked no such thing exists so why should someone go through a hard time bringing people to the forum when it is not a referrer thing?

I have introduced this forum to a few people, it doesn't take them a whole year before they decide to stop using the forum, it seems they believe this forum is a blank check and that's how I knew that crypto isn't for everybody.

See, not all those who are looking for money will embrace crypto, for some it will be too complex to accept, they are better off doing something else to make money, some people just want the bag of money the easy way, they don't want to stress themselves for anything.
59  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you disguise on your real gambling lifestyle just to help a friend/relative? on: May 07, 2024, 08:21:53 AM
I beg a pardon if a thread like this has existed here.

I have been around my gambling friends and I have always acted to be 100% sticking to my gambling budgets such as how many times, a specific time and how much to spend on my gambling.
Once awhile I actually breaks that budget but though it does not affect my daily life and my bankrolls.
I literally claim this righteousness on my friends who are running out of their emotional control from gambling and psychologically I expects them to have me as an example whom they should emulate from in other to be recalled and take back control of their emotions while gambling.

Does any of you guys have any negative side of gambling habit in you which literally you advices anyone not to exhibit it?
Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?

Have I ever found myself in this position before? Maybe only if I am trying to advice someone about gambling, especially the younglings, my advice to them is to avoid gambling, they are still young, and young people tend to be very hooked to something they want to do or plan to do.

Apart from this I have nothing to hide, although I don't have friends who are into gambling, they could be gambling behind my back but none of us have opened up about engaging in gambling activities.

I gamble in my dark room for a reason, I don't want anyone to know about it, this is my little dark secret, I only know how to control myself when it comes to gambling doubt that others can do the same thing, I will always encourage against gambling, unless the person is much older.

I don't blame her, there are many in power who are just like Warren, the US government gets jealous or scared when they see that another country is growing bigger, they always want to be on top of the world and in control of everything.

How is Iran mining Bitcoin a problem? But yea this will make Iran more money and they will be able to fund themselves in terms of security and attack, I don't expect any country to like this unless they are Iran's ally.

If she made it to the upper rank in the government she won't last long a bit, he will probably end up putting the peaceful country into a bad situation, and everyone would hate her for it, warren is full of hatred that's all I know.

Let's not forget, that Warren is mother of Karen Grin Grin Grin.
