401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: December 28, 2023, 11:58:53 PM
Recently I was around a physical bet shop close to my area and I observed a man who was shabbily dressed walking in the gambling house. I got into the place to observe what his intentions were. He walked straight to the gaming attendant, placed his bets in a highly coordinated manner and quietly walked out of the physical gambling house. From the way he was well organized, you will never know that he was mentally unsound apart from his dirty clothes and unkept hair and beard.

When I inquired from the attendant, she said he was a regular customer and that he usually raised money for gambling through the manual jobs he does around the area. She also told me that he has never misbehaved and acted violently in the gambling house so she was comfortable with him.

My question now is are there any moral, ethical or legal obligation to bar a person from gambling after physically observing that he is mentally unstable?
In my neighborhood there was also someone like this, he was depressed because he had lost a lot of money in gambling and even his family had thrown him out on the street, once he almost injured an officer at an offline casino in my neighborhood because he was prohibited from entering, from that incident, no one dares to stop him, he can't be thrown out, even the police can't arrest him.  Occasionally i also see someone who gives him a little capital for gambling. When he is invited to gamble, he will not hurt other people, this is the reason why we should not let gambling ruin our lives.  The worst level of gambling addiction is going crazy because of gambling.
402  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 28, 2023, 11:41:40 PM
snip

I don't think I have gambled more than 2 hours without getting tired (not sure) Grin. I have not actually checked my gambling strength to know how long I can last while gambling; now that I have thought of it, I will try it.

I assume it's no longer Christmas Day, so happy World Boxing Day, guys.
Each person has different time flexibility, so many people don't have enough time to gamble for 2 hours.  My advice is to gamble until your capital runs out or you win big (and this has an uncertain time)

The point is, don't gamble more than the time and money you have, many people gamble for hours but what they end up with is just debt.  Strategy in gambling is important to apply, and disciplined sellers are the ones who have a greater chance of winning than those who gamble only with their greed.

404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is Too Expensive For Me. on: December 25, 2023, 07:33:34 PM
The value of Bitcoin has gradually reached great heights. It has become impossible for a new small investor like me to invest in Bitcoin. I am a very small investor. $2k wealth is mine. Well does Bitcoin provide any opportunity in future that I can invest.
This is a thought that you have to throw away, even with $10 you can buy Bitcoin, it's just that to get bigger profits, you have to invest more money.  anyway, one thing you must understand, bitcoin is different from most other investments, even in gold, you have to buy a minimum of 1 gram of gold, there is no measurement for lower than that, and in the property business, you have to spend much more money It's not enough just $1000 or $2000.

Diversify your money mate, there is some option that you can do so you can still earn in bitcoin and also in altcoins.

1000$ = Bitcoin of course

400$  = Ethereum

200$  = Binance coin

200$  = Ripple

200$  = assorted coins of your coins even shitcoins or meme coins.

with those listed you can at least have some chance of earning multiplier .
It's not that i hate Ripple and Memecoin, but i don't think the advice you gave is good, it's better for you to suggest OP invest more in Bitcoin and then buy ethereum or BNB (part of investment asset diversification)

Buying when there is shrink in the price of bitcoin is good, but my question is what if you were ready to buy when the price is up will still wait until the price comes down before you buy, that's why I always encourage people to buy when they are ready to buy, no doubt, the best time to accumulate bitcoin is downtrend but identifying the exact period is not easy, bitcoin volatile has made it impossible for people to predict it's movement, am of the opinion people should invest when the have the money to do so, since the value remains intact, I said so because waiting till it's downtrend might result to less interest or even spending of the fund set aside for it.
DCA is a good strategy, you will always see the value of your money is stable but not with the price of bitcoin, the price of bitcoin may go down but the timing cannot be predicted so having high hopes to buy when the price of bitcoin falls even further is something that will be tiring (it could be up to a year or even 3 years, depending on market sentiment), i have applied the DCA method myself in my investment in bitcoin, and i have proven that what i did was the right decision, and i am also sure that is the case with other people who apply the DCA method in their bitcoin investment. 

Of course it is very important to always buy Bitcoin whenever you have money to buy instead of waiting. That's why the DCA is there for people to follow instead of waiting for downtrend which might limit your ability to buy due to unforseen circumstances.
Wise investors will always have fresh funds at their disposal whether it comes from their job or their business and they will definitely understand how to make good profits and also not gamble with time, there will be no end of days if we wait for the Bitcoin price to continue down for us to be able to buy at a lower price from now on, especially since the halving will happen soon, hoping that the price of bitcoin will fall below $30k or even $20k will just be a dream lol

Moving to the united will be another disaster for any player who has a good run in the current club. I prefer for any good players to refrain from joining in the manchester united if it's still coached by ten hag. There have been many victims caused by the bad managerial by ten hag.
It proves so many time ten hag is very often to have problems with his own players. Ten hag never able to create a good enviroment for his players. This is the thing that doubted me if someone was moving to join in the manchester united.
They shall have learned from what happened with onana and hojlund. The players have been targeted by manchester united needs to think for twice. They may also end their career in manchester united.
Any players shall reconsider it before try to go to the manchester united coz they are putting their career into the big risk. This is what i can take it from the result of onana and hojlund. They played better in serie a.
It seems the pressures are too big for all of em.
The majority of shares in Manchester United are officially owned by Sir Jim Ratcliffe, and it is reported that there will be a major overhaul of the Manchester squad, the issue is that Bruno Fernandes will be kicked out by him and it is also possible that Ten Hag will be affected as well.  From what i've noticed, the Man Utd squad is actually one of the best in the EPL, but what's wrong with them is their strategy and coaching style, let's take an example from other leagues, just look at how Liverpool's performance has been under Xabi Alonso's coaching, Leverkusen's performance has gone up drastic, it could even be called the best in the Bundesliga at the moment.  i'm sure, if Ratcliffe replaces Ten Hag with another coach, Man Utd's performance will improve, there's no point in adding new players to Man Utd when their problems come from the coach.
407  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You lose more when you over trade on: December 25, 2023, 05:52:10 PM
Most trader expecially newbies think crypto is a get rich quick scheme, and they feel very excited and motivated to enter the market more believing that it's going to make them rich by over trading, they don't know that quality beats quantity every day.

They just can't wait for the market to come to them, they always chase the market and when they finally blown their account, they start saying trading is a scam or it's gambling, no bro, trading Is more about knowing the craft and be disciplined enough to wait till the market comes to you (your strength).
The most funny aspect is that they think that the more they trade, the more money they make. Trading is not like that, you calculate your loss first before your profit

Me I dont trade if the market doesn't come to me, if I don't sees the right setup I don't trade at all, even if it takes a month without trading, it's better for me to wait and be profitable than to lose my capital, stay discipline and be profitable.
there are many traders who lose because they are too impulsive in trading, many even do not rest for hours, eat and drink late, this is what actually makes their minds confused, gambling must be accompanied by a good lifestyle, so that it is regular and also get enough rest (8 hours a day) if don't do that then it will be impossible to make a profit in trading.  Trading is an activity that involves playing with money, the slightest mistake will cause us to lose capital, overtrading is never good for a trader, stop at the right time, and the trading hours are reasonable, don't ever think that the more we trade in 24 hours full then we will become rich, that's a wrong idea.
408  Economy / Economics / Re: Idea and money are very important to investment. on: December 25, 2023, 05:29:54 PM
In investment sector both are important. Without money you can't invest without idea money is nothing becose. Investment is not easy think many have money but don't have enough money to invest on the other side many earn money they have lot of money they thik to invest but becose don't have enough money and any good investment idea thay stop. That's the reason both are important here.
Money is indeed important, but ideas are also very important both must be balanced.  There are rich people out there who have a lot of money but cannot successfully run their businesses because they lack ideas and consistency.  Successful people who currently have many businesses also don't have money but only ideas, but money is not an obstacle for them to build their business, when the idea they have is really good then getting capital will also be easy for them, currently there are many financiers who want to give their money to hard workers who have good ideas.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 24, 2023, 11:51:10 PM
The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.

What is your take on this?
of course i did that, playing on a gambling site without it is really dangerous, the possibility of us being cheated will also be very big, there have been many incidents that are detrimental to gambling players, they can't withdraw because of KYC reasons which are suddenly implemented without any clear reason.  Apart from reading the TOS first, the other most important thing is to find out first the license of the online casino you are going to play at, a real license makes the chances of players being cheated very small, there are many gambling sites that use fake licenses so always pay attention to this carefully.
410  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would happen if BTC were to be adopted as a global reserve currency? on: December 24, 2023, 11:08:21 PM
would the Government of the Nations adopt BTC, a decentralized form of digital currency?

If they do, dont you think we should raise eyebrows and be suspicious of what they could be up to?

how would it affect the crypto market and individual traders?
with the increasing adoption of cryptocurrency and also the increasing price of bitcoin, it is not impossible that in the future bitcoin will become a hedge for the value of the country's fiat currency as a substitute for gold, but all this will be possible if the circulation of bitcoin remains at 21 million and does not increase or decrease.  For now, large-scale adoption will cause bitcoin fees to increase and it will still be a tough job for anyone who actively uses bitcoin, especially for transactions.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted on: December 24, 2023, 10:47:36 PM
I have been wondering with a little doubt in me between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person prone to being addicted cause I have this friend of mine who doesn't know how to gamble online but when it comes to physical gambling he does it without compromising any of the consequences before hands.

Now it has made every little discussion that leads to argument an avenue to gamble, always ready to stake huge amount just to prove himself right. I consider this being addiction and I am always advising him to drop this lifestyle.

Do you think Online Gambling has the worst potential of making a person addicted?
Compared to physical gambling, online gambling accounts for more gambling addicts, the reason is simple because online gambling can be done anywhere, even when you are far from home, as long as you can connect to the internet then there will be no difficulties for you to play gambling, and various kinds of online gambling games also provide various addictions, there are also those who say that online gambling has extraordinary appeal, especially slot games, but it all comes back to each individual.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 24, 2023, 04:39:39 PM
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
 
Now are days I see much or all this in house gamblers becoming addicted and acting weird over gambling results, and walking down into some betting shop, you will see most of those gamblers spending their whole day in the gambling shop, which made me have the above question. I know any form of gambling can produce gambling addicts, but among all, there is one that is most common, which is what I want to hear from others.
In fact, all types of gambling games have great potential to become addictive, especially for gamblers who have experienced big wins.  My neighbor is a lottery gambling addict, he is willing to spend money to bet on the lottery even though he is aware that it is his only money, but there are also those who are really crazy about sports betting, he will use large capital to bet even though it is his monthly salary.  From this it can be concluded that all types of gambling games have great potential for people to become addicted, not just slot or dice gamblers.
413  Economy / Economics / Re: Setting up financial structures before going into the family way on: December 23, 2023, 11:17:11 PM
-getting married has big expenses
-taking care of children costs money
-living everyday life is like that too

For this reason, some wise people say that if you are not financially mature then you should give up your intention to get married, marriage is not something that is easy to do, just imagine how complicated it is to unite our partner's mindset, by the way, i am lucky enough to be in a Christian family, because i only want to what separates a marriage, not money or anything else.
In Christianity, before getting married, there are many things that the prospective bride and groom must ask, this is all done to prevent divorce, nowadays it is quite easy for people to say divorce.
414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 23, 2023, 10:41:37 PM
I came across on YouTube where a gambling casino social influencer was streaming about a casinos platform.
He literally brought out his phone and was illustrating to the audiences that it is just few steps to take the winning on your games which is making choice of your predictions, choose amount to bet and also indicate his hashtag referral code and click on confirm.
Immediately you get credited directly to your account that just you won.
I just smiled but I want to ask, how many of you guys develops interests on a particular casino platform due to the influence of the casinos streamers?
Never easily trust those who are advertising something on YouTube because their main goal is to spread their referral link, if they get that then their income through the referral program will be very good.  That's the reason why i rarely trust influencers who are promoting a gambling site (they have no influence whatsoever on my gambling activities), there will always be bad things that will happen to me if i trust them easily, gambling on my own decisions is much better than being inspired by influencers who are promoting similar things like gambling.
415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: December 23, 2023, 10:07:31 PM
Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
why is it only the responsibility of the government or non-profit organizations but the casino business owner is not responsible for that. Gambling addiction has become a complex problem in many countries and criminal cases involving it also often arise, gambling business owners should provide information services to prevent their users from becoming addicted to gambling and that is their responsibility too.

If a person who doesnt have a day job and consider out on doing gambling,then where they would really be getting their funds? taking up some loan? its suicide. This is why it would really be that better that we should really be that sensible on the things that we are really that doing and if we dont really have that job then why would gamble? You would really be just worsening up the situation
because thinking up gambling as source of income then it cant be possible. Instead on making money you would rather lose bigtime instead because if we do speak about gambling then
risks is really there. This is why it would really be that best that you shouldnt really focus yourself on doing those gambling and easy money kind of thing.
Managing your gambling budget, having a steady income and not considering gambling is the quickest and most efficient way to make money is a form of gambling responsibly, there is never a gambling addict who lives a happy life, they will always be haunted by their great desire to continue gambling so that self-control is very important.
416  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Introducing bitcoin to the orphans on my birthday on: December 22, 2023, 10:10:00 PM
Ever since I joined this forum, I have read so many topics of forum members introducing bitcoin to people around them for the fast growth of bitcoin adoption. I saw that there are some people that are missing from this great innovation and this set of people can be the leaders of tomorrow, and this are the orphans in the orphanage homes. This kept me wondering that how will these orphans also have bitcoin knowledge and maybe they can also be part of the bitcoin community in future. If they know the basic of bitcoin from now, as time passes on they might pick interest to know more about bitcoin, since bitcoin will soon be the talk of the town everywhere you go.
bitcoin is hope for everyone and a good future for those who believe in bitcoin, the education that is initiated to orphans will definitely bear sweet fruit, you are truly blessed for this, in the future, these orphans will become someone who is useful for society, gaining knowledge about bitcoin is a truly extraordinary thing, and these children are lucky to be taught by someone as good as you.

I went on charity work to the Diasy orphanage home in my LGA today which happens to be my birthday to present them with gifts and food items, and I  used this opportunity to introduce bitcoin to them, telling them that all I brought to them was gotten through bitcoin. Today is my first time to celebrate my birthday with orphans and as you can see I am in Diasy orphanage home to put smiles on the face of the orphans because this is the season to show love to people around us. I have introduced bitcoin to these lovely children after I presented the gifts to them. Mrs Inita Amaduwgu is the owner of the orphanage home and she was happy with the introduction of bitcoin to the orphans and her workers. She said that she will create time for me to come back and teach her workers, when the children have gone to school, so that they can also teach the children at their own convenient time. I gave gave them a cartoon video on bitcoin so that the younger children will not be left out.

snip
happy birthday to you (sorry i'm a little late in saying it lol), you did something noble on your birthday, that's what i hope you do too, remain consistent in providing knowledge about bitcoin to these children, they will continue to need education from you, you can create a small community to accompany these children until they have good insight into bitcoin.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 22, 2023, 09:52:05 PM
I think Xabi Alonso should give Bayer Leverkusen a title this season because after all, Bayer Leverkusen cannot guarantee to keep Xabi Alonso next season. Therefore, then of course this season is a very appropriate season for Bayer Leverkusen to target trophies, whether trophies in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal or in the Europa League.

Because yes, at least at this moment Bayer Leverkusen still has a good chance in these three tournaments. With a very good performance like now then yes, it should be Xabi Alonso managed to provide a new and great history for Bayer Leverkusen.
Since being handled by Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen's defeat rate is almost zero, even when they met Bayern Munich, they had to end in a draw.  If leverkusen continue to be consistent like this then i am 100% sure that Leverkusen will be champions this season, and not only that, i am sure that other big teams will emerge who will look at Alonso, the success he has made at Leverkusen is truly beyond reason, he still has  experience who is a bit of a trainer.  One big team that is currently reported to be trying to use Alonso's services is Real Madrid, for this season alone i think Leverkusen should be happy with their achievements, Xabi Alonso is like a rare piece of jewelry that will be difficult for them to get in the future, i'm really curious What steps will Leverkusen take to keep Alonso inside!

Whether they are really just that making those kind of observation or just trying out to look for other players who do gamble then it is really just that on someones preference if he do those things.
It is really just that a matter of decisions whether they would really be just that observing or would really be that playing. Somewhat if you are really that prone to this then it would really be just that likely
that you will really be that making yourself that addicted to it on which considering that you would really be exposed to tons of games on which it might really be that pushing you do play
even further and this is something that could really be happening on such situation. Going back at topic on which there are really indeed people who are really that who do see these
parades are really that making up that awareness about gambling risks but there are ones who do have that kind of curiosity.
There must be a lot of people who are curious about what slot games actually are so there is a big parade being held, so detailed eucation still needs to be carried out in order to make the parade of education about slot gambling effective, from the existing additions, quite a lot of young people are addicted to slots, they don't know that what they are playing will slowly suck up their money.  Apart from that, environmental influences also play a big role in gambling addiction, only a few percent of people are successful in getting out of the influence of gambling while others fail to become responsible gamblers, they become gambling addicts because the environment and genetic factors in them make them addicted to gambling, they find it difficult to control themselves in gambling.

So I was wondering if some folks here too feel the same way or it was just a matter of grudge and hatred for the particular fellow to stir up such arguement.
The debate you have and the anger you have towards your friend who introduced you to gambling is pointless imo.  i also know gambling from my close friend but i have never once complained to him because he introduced gambling to me, remember that gambling is a personal choice, never blame other people for what you are doing now, it is unethical, in the beginning you have the power not to gamble but why do you choose to gamble, if your friend is a good person then what you do doesn't have to be done together, even if he is a gambler, you don't need to be a gambler too, there is always a choice in your hands.

Hi guys! Happy holidays! Just wanted to know if you're planning on using AI bots and such technologies to boost your crypto profits in 2024. And now that I'm talking about this, I'm curious if you've already started to use AI for taking trades.
i have only tried using AI or trading bots a few times and the results are really not like my expectations, trading bots are not very good, it is addictive, you will be lazy to trade with your own abilities, indeed the analysis displayed by AI in trading very good but trading bots have significant weaknesses, there are many reports where traders who use trading bots actually lose money because there are many traders who actually entrust 100% of their trading decisions to AI.  If you want to try then go ahead, but you have to be prepared for the risks, you might just spend a lot of money to use AI in your trading which may not necessarily be able to give you a profit in trading.
