401  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't only pray for mass adoption, start HODLING!! on: January 17, 2024, 04:30:56 PM
I'm not saying anyone should go on start telling people about how much bitcoin they have accumulated, all I'm saying is start your own bitcoin journey if you haven't, stop praying for good things when your not planning on beign a partaker

Why is this looking like a Newspaper?  Undecided  Next time, you should summarize your message without writing an episode or you can break it into paragraph so that viewers will have it interesting to read and they can quote where they want to reply without quoting the entire text you submitted.

You can't force people to do what they don't want to do, even if you shout from now to tomorrow, believe not everyone will buy bitcoin. Some of them are shouting Bitcoin adoption so that their altcoins bags can squeeze in for the normal rally of bullrun, that's the only reason some want this adoption so badly. Some of them don't even care if bitcoin grow in value and then fall again, as long as their bags are pumping, then they are good to go.

You can also tell people to buy which they could do as you say but growth might not come as you expected because they don't have what it take to move Bitcoin price. In as much individual effort can push a mountain, I think we need people that have this money to adopt Bitcoin so that we can see this growth massively, the are the one can do it with huge demand.

One of the most important factor of a successful gambler is to know when to stop, most gamblers expecially the addictive type don't even know what is stop when it comes to gambling. So it's very important to;
* Stop when your losing is now getting to you.

* Stop when you are now feeling as is you can't do without gambling.

* Stop when you have a big winning, by channeling the money somewhere else so you won't lose it back to gambling.

* Stop when you are not even winning at all, it's not your thing.

* When your losing is weighing you down, stop and restrategize .

How exactly will an addictive gambler knows he is addictive? These are the questions. You can be addicted to gambling without knowing that you're but there will be signs around you that can signal you of the wrongs you have done and you have mention few of them on your list but you didn't explain them.

-When you loss constantly, consistent loss that are more than the profits or even more than the deposits you have done, the you should quit or give it some break for your own mental health.
-Stop when you think of gambling everyday, only an addicted gambler will always think about gambling when you have more things to think or even do.
-Take break when you win but don't stop. Continue your bets of you feel like betting more bit quit as soon as you started getting loss so you don't bet your profits back into the casino.
-Quit if you see gambling as a means of income.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 16, 2024, 09:30:00 PM
Yesterday, when I was playing Crash, I have caught myself thinking that I watch on how much people bet, how much they won and lose. First I have felt envy, when I saw one guy bet 200-300 bucks all the time for half and hour and cashed out with 2+ multiplier. Among bets in range of 1 sat to a dollar, he was really standing out. Then I have noticed a guy who was betting a dollar and did not cash out until rocket passes 10x. I was also amazed how a guy bet 1k, and lost it when the rocket banged at 1.00x, then he immediately made another 1k bet and the rocket banged at 1.03x. Then I saw him winning +5k bucks.

That is how the idea of this topic appeared. I watch others gamble, I watch how the bet, I start to think about betting more than usually. Do you have such feeling also? Do you have a feeling that if others make large bets, that you also must bet large, otherwise you would feel like uncomfortable, or feel like a poor among rich, or something of that kind.

We are not financially equal, so don't expect people to wager the same amount. I have seen some players that I do feel like if I win the amounts they stake on games, I wouldn't stress myself with gambling, they stake high figure in 6 digits to win millions and what's more sweet about these guys is that they are good at winning millions, that makes me to even envy them more because they are good at what they do and they don't fear losing the amounts or maybe it's because I see them use big amounts.

What I don't feel is their impact on me, whatever you chose to do and how much you wish to bets, they it's your choice and I don't feel influence to do the same because I don't even have that amount in the first place and if want to bet with little I have to lose, I may not win anything because the more you greed to win more the more you loss because you are increasing your risk of winning, that's more chance of you losing.

It looks like luck because they only won by a narrow score and the goal was scored via a penalty kick after a Fulham player fouled one of Chelsea's players, but actually Chelsea continued to appear to put pressure on the away team but unfortunately, their chances were not able to penetrate Fulham's defense, even their opponents several times made quite good attacks and threatening their goal.
Chelsea was quite grateful because Cole Palmer managed to calmly execute the penalty kick because if he had failed, Chelsea would have gotten another bad result. In the final minutes, they managed to maintain their defense which continued to receive attacks from Fulham who were trying to get 1 point by doing so to equalize the score.
Chelsea's performance was ordinary even though this was their third win in a row and with a performance like that they would still probably lose to any team because their game development was not very good.

If they win all their matches this way and get to the top, nobody will give a damn about how they win as long as they remain at the top. What matter most is they should win their match which they won Fulham. I'm proud to see some adjustments in the table but how long will they go is something we can't say now because they once pull some battle with Manchester City in the same season, that game impressed everyone including that hasn't been a fan but they didn't do well after that, so I don't know what will happen in their subsequent matches.

There is a problem in managerial positions of Chelsea players but more importantly, they need to build a strong foundation of striker, the forward looks dead and the midfield looks weak. Pochettino still has time to make adjustments in necessary places instead those worthless comments he always rush to make when there loss match, always use to "I believe in this project, we just need more time bla bla bla" and the season has pass half way to the second leg.
405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social aspects of online gambling on: January 16, 2024, 06:40:59 PM
To the people that have maybe tried both online and physical gambling, how do you perceive the socialization aspects of online gambling?

In my personal opinion: I think casinos that feature crypto gsmbling are somewhat lacking in terms of how players can communicate with each other. I get that some people that gamble online might actually want to avoid talking to other people, but what if you can only gamble online and still want do socialize a little bit?

When I tried sitting on live blackjack tables for example, the dealer would always introduce topics, as if he/she was told to keep talking. But it felt very repetitive and forced. The chat wasn't a good means to actually keep up a discussion. Out of the wight playwrs maybe one or two would reply with single words, and if you wrote something longer the dealer wouldn't have time to read it, respond and keep dealing at the same time anyway. So it was just a one sided back and forth, not a real discussion.

Are you in casino to socialize or you there to do 2+2 to get 4 or get -2? Or you are there to do 2+2 =fun. This is what I think gambling casino is all about in online casino, if you want to socialize there are other platforms like Telegram where people discussed about casino stuffs and have fun, I think Twitch is another place people socialize especially gamers and you can even make you of Discord, it is more fun in Discord as a gambler to chat and get to meet your friends that like the same games.

Quote
In other sites there is a single chat and it's so active that it's actually hard to follow, while there are thousands of players...

It's just my view that most online casinos could do many things to improve the social aspect of their sites. Not sure if there would be demand though.

I think Casino don't do this or make chatting too complex because of the extra space will require them to put those file. Imagine a casino as a platform been hosted with huge amount of money and then spend extra cost to fund this chatting, it wouldn't make sense to them.
The second reason might be for privacy and protection of each customers. They don't want a situation where one player will influence another person, they also don't want people information to be made available through their platform. It's better you do your social gambling outside the casino.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 16, 2024, 06:32:14 PM
It is impossible for Manchester United to be willing to pay a high price for a player who is already 36 years old, he can no longer maintain his performance like he is still playing for Real Madrid because he is getting older. The Premier League relies more on strength and speed, Benzema is no longer able to run as fast as before and his strength is also decreasing due to age. Bringing in Benzema with an expensive dowry was a blunder by Manchester United because previously they had parted ways with players who were considered old.

Wasn't Ronaldo 36 when he last played for Manchester United? He was due 37 when he left the club and was doing well until the rift between him and Erik wasn't coming to the end he left the club and went for Alnasrr where he is now enjoying his life. But Manchester United will not accept Benzema because the type of players they right now is not the kind of Benzema, to me he has finish football and is either he continue to play there or he should protect his legacy and retired with dignity.

Chelsea are starting to become active again in the transfer market this winter and this time they are trying to bring in an experienced striker and Chelsea's efforts are to be able to get one of these players between Benzema and Firmino. I think Chelsea's steps are quite right by recruiting a good striker with undoubted experience and as a finisher in front of goal, Benzema or Firmino should be a solution to Chelsea's difficulties in scoring goals.

Chelsea will always amaze me foolishly, if this information is true speculated then I'm afraid to say that they are not ready to live that place they're in the table. What as are they looking up in Benzema that are not in European players, I'm very sure there are more good current players inform than what Benzema is doing in Saudi Arabia League. What I want to see Chelsea do first is to get rid of Pochettino but they aren't ready to do that isn't? I'm ashame of Chelsea Board adviser.

The issue of getting rich quick isn't something that many adopters take seriously, as they've come to believe it is the only way to make a quick profit. It still saddens me to see that some adopters in our community have taken the wrong step towards Bitcoin investment.

They know what they are doing, isn't obvious people hear how Bitcoin has turned up for some people for years but want to do the same thing in just a month, they get the orientation needed, I just think they wana think they are the smartest and want to makes stupid step that always bite them because of greed, nothing kills faster like greed and new people that come to crypto are always guilty of this mistake; not like the regular people you met doing it don't know what they are doing.

I couldn't just leave him hanging with that mentality towards Bitcoin. I showed him some love by converting $10 worth of Bitcoin from my personal funds, sending it to him, and also sent him the BTT link so he can learn from a large Bitcoin community. I have done my part, and I repeat: there is no such thing as getting rich quick. I am glad he has joined the community, but wouldn't want to be mentioned.

Thanks for reading, and do well to share your opinion.

For some second, I was looking at that transaction and I only saw 10, I didn't see any currency and I thought you were generous enough to send him 10 Bitcoin  Cheesy Cheesy. Well, that's nice of you but with the way he is down, doubt if he is going to keep that money in Bitcoin, he may convert that $10 to fiat and move on and might not come back to check bitcoin again. I have some of them that has disturbed me to teach them Bitcoin, give them all the details they need, some are doing well now but there are these set of people that always fall out matrix to do something silly, well they fuck around and has found out from scammers and never came back again.
408  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 15, 2024, 06:19:56 PM
It's just YouTube, but today I ran across a video that mentioned a bitcoin HODL tax.

In order to stop Bitcoin, authorities would have to shut down the internet which is impossible. So I predict that their next move is to launch enormous taxes to discourage people from owning bitcoin and prevent mass adoption as competition for their corrupted CBDC's that still have to be launched. The purpose of their regulations is to take over the entire bitcoin market, of course. They will make you sell, either by launching huge taxes for ownership or by treating the owner of 1 BTC like a drug dealer (prison sentence).

In as much as I hate the government, the system is not a single person, it is always comprised of many people with different opinions and will never agree on the same thing unless a conclusion is reached and a bill is sent to be passed before it can be implemented. As for the tax, I think I know the US ways how digital investments are taxed and it is almost similar to what is being taxed on stocks and other investments. I don't think a reasonable person would want to use tax to kill the investors, if it is to discourage people, they will know and if it is indeed a legal asset people will protest in that country.

However, don't you think that the number of people that have Bitcoin is small for the government to have time for this, they will instead call for a total ban if they don't want something to prosper in their country if they have no intention of legalizing it.

Quote
So we need a gameplan against this.

Can we be exposed to taxation or legal penalties when the wallet is reported as stolen? I think not, but I want to be sure.
I don't think you can pay taxes on something you do not officially own. And neither can you pay taxes when you don't have money or own other assets.

I have purchased my first BTC on a regulated exchange with KYC. I don't prefer it because of privacy reasons, but I had no other choice at the time. From there it will go to my coldstorage device, which I consider reporting as stolen if a ownership tax is launched. However, authorities would know the BTC address (exchange will provide it) and every future transaction that came from it. So I could never move the funds after reporting it as stolen (I guess) as this demonstrates they were not stolen.

Can I transfer the BTC from my current address, to an address that no government can ever link to me?

Why do I feel like you are trying to evade tax from your Bitcoin? Not saying you should give the government what they are asking but for your own peace of mind and future problems, if Bitcoin is being taxed in your country and you hold it and you have made profits, kindly give Uncle Sam what he is asking you to avoid any problem later. It is not too hard isn't compared to what might happen later.

As for your wallet, I think it's only when you use a centralized exchange your identity can be known and Bitcoin can be traced, if you have a Bitcoin in your wallet, nobody can ever link that Bitcoin to you except if you bought it on an exchange that recognized you as the buy but don't ignore tax my friend.
409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 15, 2024, 03:48:08 PM
As gamblers, we love more action, so we tend to make more bets on a regular basis. However, experts say that when we make too many picks regularly, our chances of winning decrease. This is due to the fact that we won't be able to analyze all the games carefully that are in our ticket and won't have the advantage needed to win. So instead, it's recommended that we should value quality over quantity if we want to succeed in sports betting.

Share your opinion regarding this matter.



Edit : I see that some replies are talking about parlay. FYI, this is not about parlay, it's about making many single picks on a regular basis. Please avoid using parlay when sharing your opinion.

I think I have seen a similar topic like this here, something about odd accumulation and single bets and the one that pay well but since you asked, I will drop my opinion.

When you see gamblers play many odds to win a bet, not like they don't know what they are doing or they are greedy, some are though but logically, some gamblers are very calculative and they are good history of betting on their name, luckily bets does favour them and they win this bets even with many picks. They are good in lower line picks of games and when do picked games, the ones I know don't pick footballs but prefer games like handball, basketball, crickets, hockey, table tennis, think of other sports that people don't gamble much, that's what they accumulated together to bet and because people don't gamble them that much, they win than the times they lose. But only few football/soccer guys I have seen win from many picks.

As single bet, people see it as way of making fun, in fact people that see gambling as fun do this most of the time because they don't have that time to be going down leagues to pick games just to win, it's the addicted and gamblers that see gambling as a business that does the many picks.

Nigeria should get an easy win against Equatorial Guinea today, I'm quite certain, and I've backing the ~1.50 Odds ML here, the group stage should be an easy path for the Super Eagles, I have absolutely no doubt on that, my concern was about heading the deep into the competition and possibly triumphing all the way, easier said than done right ?

Wasn't easy as you expected but the comeback was super fast by Osimhen, he did justice to that equalized goal that was scored by Equatorial Guinea under a minutes and that was how Super Eagles were save from that shameful defenders. I think we lack defenders, even though we lack good midfielders, the back defenders are weak but I'm satisfied with the striking position, I just hope he doesn't get any injury as we continue else we are doom.Grin Grin

We have two games left for the group stage and what we need now is one win and 1 draw or win the two and get qualified for the next stage. How we are going to deliver that between Ivory Coast and Guinea Bissau but I'm confidence that Nigeria will give Guinea Bissau a straight win and either win or draw with Ivory coast because I was impress by their first round but Nigeria can do more on them by the time they meet.
411  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casinos and gamblers are struggling with high tx fees.? on: January 15, 2024, 02:13:01 PM
There are alternative ways to deal with this situation. Many casino sites have different kind of payment method which includes alternative coins. It is not necessary that you only use Bitcoin for your transactions. You can simply use other coins until this congestion get cleared. The recent transaction fee is quite low compared to some days ago. But it doesn't matter when you have alternative ways to deal with such situation.
In times of problems you can use alternative ways and that is why alternative coins were created. Go take advantage of that. It will be much easier faster and cheaper.

It's low now because the people behind the exploiting has give it a break. Wait for a month before halving and see some crazy fees around Bitcoin transaction. As long as inscription exploitation of sats on Bitcoin network bug is not fix,the crazy transaction fees aren't going anywhere, it will resume and miners will be the only people enjoying this fees because people have bitcoin to spend and wouldn't sit and allow their investment to decline.

The alternatives is are good in funding Casino but the challenges here is that people want to see their win in bitcoin. For instance, if you deposit USDT using Tron(trc20) as people are suggesting, if you want to wager, you have to wager with the amount you deposited but for casinos that has market place where you can trade, you can move your coins from casino wallet to the market place and do some trade in the casino and then move back your coins the casino wallet where you can bet using bitcoin since many people prefer to use Bitcoin to gamble and have their profits in Bitcoin.

Another challenge could be because altcoins can be seize, we have seen so many instances where USDT are seize by the company, you don't want your profits be seize by one company because they suspect your money or doesn't like the casino you use for betting, there are the problems of the alternatives.

I don't think that there will be any hope of a come back for Barcelona in this final. Vinicius Jnr is the man that has destroyed Barcelona defense and has given a good advantage to Real Madrid to be the winner of this finals. Benzema is not missed at all currently, as the presence of Vini, Bellingham and Rodrigo is enough to give Madrid whatever victory that they want.

Vinicius is the 6th player that has scored hat trick in El Classico after he scored the third goal with a penalty kick. This will be the third match that Real Madrid will win Barcelona in straight three games at a roll. Barcelona is weak for Real Madrid and I don't think that they can win this match. I still so much believe in Real Madrid after they won Athletico Madrid in the semi finals to get to this spot.

Isn't that a great comeback for a that his team almost wanted him to have an injury rest for three month then was later schedule to be 2 month and some weeks but wasn't cool with that and resume ahead of the time to be bench in most of the matches and then when start in a final match delivered excellently like he was here all this while. 3 goals was just something Xavi will never forget, he scored 3 goals under the space of 39 minutes, a hat-trick of the season for Rela Madrid.

In all Elclassico that I have watched, this is one of the easiest Real Madrid and with this, they have won Spanish Super cup and Copa del Rey cup, what is next in their calendar is now Laliga and that is certain but before that, we are going to finish that Champions League and then come back for the Laliga last match. Anceloti deserve what he is getting, he should not allow this new contract to go in vain, what was invested in him should be worth all the trophies.

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

This depend. If the addicted person isn't an addicted person at first and has many people depending on him and the all of a sudden, he became addicted with gambling and lost it, it will affect him and his relationship and as well as affect the people around and if it is the person they depend on financial, then I expect it to be worse because the money the are expecting from him will not becoming as usual because the addiction will take everything from him but if they don't depend on him, it will only affect him alone and his relationship with his immediate family.

As for a gambler that doesn't have that warm hearted relationship with his family, it will only affect him alone because such kind of people doesn't have any bond with their family. Sometime, even their families don't give an F about them not to talk about the relationship. As a gambler, know your limit and gambling should never gives you that addiction to the point that it affect your relationship with your families, friends and your financial status, nothing disrespect a man status like addiction.

GIRL SITS AT CASINO SLOT MACHINE CHAIR TO PEE

Watching this "meme vid" or whatever made me curious enough to dig into this little rabbit hole where I see casino gamblers, particularly those who play slot, go bonkers and I mean like literal mental while playing slots. I mean most of them are depicted to even claw at the screen as if it's going to do anything.

I gotta say man, I know gambling for some people is bad but when they say it's bad I didn't think it'd be this worse lol. Oh well, all the more reasons to avoid the land-casinos I guess.

If I owned that particular Land base casino, I'm going to get her arrested and make sure she pay for damages and after that, I will them ban her from coming to my casino. I will then make a list of do and don't in my casino to avoid these kind of future reoccurrence of this stupid behavior. Look at her for Christ sake, that's an adult doing a childish behavior. How can you even urinate in public when you are not on drugs and conscious, these behavior will not only harm the company but it's a disgusting behavior that will chase away customers.

You could tell that she wasn't even gambling, things like this isn't about gambling but bad behavior and bad manner. I don't gamble casino but other then outdoor activities that I see it as, I don't like it because I don't really like crowded environment, I will do all I want to do with my phone in my comfort zone and will not need to visit the place to avoid this kind of irk behaviors, my phone and my room is okay for me to do everything.

What a disappointment from Evans, he is a weak and old defender that is just a short one to the club.

The disappointment should be on the coach who has found it difficult to build a proper structure in the manchester united team, the attack is woeful, the midfield is a disarray and the defense is in shambles, if anyone deserves blame, then it is the coach, ten hag.

is he good enough for mufc? i never believed so; he needs the sack soon

I'm done with that club called Manchester United. I don't expect much from them and I don't expect less from them, even if the coach training isn't going well with the team it has some good players that might do well time to time but that consistency of doing well is what I don't expect from them. To think that Erik will always make mouth and bully players for been disrespectful but fail on the field, he was not ashamed of himself to stop making comments about Sancho.

Tottenham is not a team that one will think they don't deserve good, they are in fact one of the best team that had a good acceleration this season but along the line, their defenders and midfield were exploited because of the injuries in their key players else Manchester United will not have stand where they are currently. Let's see what Arsenal will play against Crystal palace tomorrow, if they do well then it's Okay but if they lose, Tottenham may have chance in the top 4 before the season.
416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 14, 2024, 07:39:58 PM
I just discovered a friend's personality, who in real life is very thrift and very conservative but once he played online in casinos he became very reckless and loved to play the risks because for him when it comes to gambling if you cannot take a risk you don't have a chance to win big, that's a big contrast from his real personality for him he has alter ego when it comes to gambling, so his outlook and decision is very much different when playing.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,

What we do consider as ego might just be normal thing to other people and not really the way we picture it but I have a question. With the way does his gambling and the risk, is he winning or losing? If he is winning despite the associated risk, I don't see any problem with it because I know people that gamble some games that I could ever imagine and yet they won, they makes money from the way they bets and I'm cool with it, there ways their life and their money, not mine.

But if he losses often, then I think he need help. Basically, you don't need to make risk much to win in gambling but the more the risk in gambling, the more potential outcome you get and if that actually happen, you will recover all your years of loss in gambling but I will prefer to gamble simple though. If you risk much in gambling, bankroll will even hard you to manage.

As a businessman or salary earners here are tips on how to stay poor in life. Grin

1. Spending your money on unnecessary items immediately the money arrives. Trying to prove a point to people by living a standard that is above your pay grade.

2. Live on one source of income. Everyday of our life our responsibilities and challenges keeps piling up accumulating without consideration to our financial capability. The economy and cost of living continue getting worsen. So in order not to be able to beat this piling settle comfortably on a single source of income flow.

3. Become an extremely cheerful giver/lender to friends and family. A wisdom quote I read somewhere said, "if you want to lose your friends and family lend them money".  Keeping doing this and you going to be successfully poor.

4.Learn how not to mind your own business, making every events around you your concern even when it doesn't affect you. It's a nice way to make cool enemies. Etc.


I trust you all get the sarcasm as conveyed.

The sad reality of life is that not everyone will be rich though even when richness is subjective to people. No matter how you guide and write books about ladder to success, some people will do what is going to make them happy rather than running after richness not to talk of being wealthy because having a wealth is totally different from being rich and being rich is different from average life and that is also different from been poor.

Your number 2 is also subjective; we have people who rely on a single source of income and make a lot of money, but their job takes up almost all of their time, so they don't have much time to pursue other sources of income. People who work in oil companies, particularly the top guys, devote their entire lives to it and it is their sole source of income, yet they make nearly all of the money anybody could possibly imagine since they are paid so highly.

Yes, if you are an investor that loves investing in the stock market. This is a good time to buy the Coinbase stock inside the stock exchange market. We are going to see the Coinbase stock price go high soon, and this is because all those ETF that were approved by the SEC cannot hold the bitcoin. Since the SEC said if an investor invest x amount of Bitcoin in any ETF the ETF should be able to hold exactly x amount in a secured wallet for the investor.

However, out of the 11 Bitcoin ETF that was approved. About 6 uses Coinbase as a custodian wallet. This is why there will be increase in the price of Coinbase in the stock market as there will be a substantial amount of Bitcoin going into Coinbase soon.

What are thoughts as well?

Is that all the reason that justifies why investors should hold Coinbase shares? I don't and I will not hold their shares because that is not concrete reason enough for me. First of all, Coinabase is nothing but a centralized exchange, they are not different from Binance, Okex and others but because they are situated in the US and fully regulated, they couldn't launch a token like other centralised exchanges so they decided to go the traditional way to launch shares which were circulated among the top venture capitalist, only a few was given to the public, that said.

Coinbase is holding ETF Bitcoin because they are experienced in the games and the ETF companies don't want to risk any hack attempt and this is just like Binance and Kucoin holding user Bitcoin, is there any difference between this and the custodial platforms that we had already? They probably have more Bitcoin in custody than what Coinbase will hold with this approval, so what's new here? Nothing my friend.

Take casino games for example especially jackpot casino games there is no way you can tell me that all of them are structured in such a way that they randomly always make money for the house if you ask me gambling is a fraud that has been used to trick people into believing that their choices matter it does not everyone that gambles is just there to make money for the casino unfortunately there is nothing that can be done about human nature 💔💔💔

Congratulations on finding out that gambling is a scam but you went ahead and still played it many times, I guess it is safe to say that you are the scam here, you know how it was structured and never designed to really favour those outside the house and yet you are crying like a baby crying for a milkshake to cool down the temperature, next do a due diligence about something about it before going fully on it. Again, the fact that you mention jackpot makes it more that you want to use your small balance to win a big amount, the money you never worked for, get work next time. Lips sealed Lips sealed

Actually gamblers are aware that the house or casino always wins, but basically. Humans have the instinct to seek sensation and excitement by gambling, even though there is a risk of losing money, people still like to gamble even though they know they cannot win because they are fascinated by the great hope of getting a big win.
And winnings or big winnings are real and not fraud, but this is a matter of luck, if you are unlucky you will always experience continuous losses because high expectations make you continue playing without caring that the house always wins.

It's not like gambling is a place where money is guaranteed to be made; in fact, many casinos and gambling platforms would have closed down if the system had not been designed that way. The player's money is what fluctuates between losses and profits; otherwise, there would never be any casinos left today. Because of the way entropy operates, gambling is primarily reliant on luck. For this reason, I prefer to wager on player performance in sports like basketball and hockey rather than casino games, where I can make more informed decisions based on player performance than just pure luck.

I've got to find out that there are some profiles that have received whole lots of merits but some of those profiles don't circulate their sendable merits to others profiles thereby allowing the sendable merits to decay and become worthless. The reason for sendable merits is for a user to send to other profiles in which they find their posts of good qualities and of Meritable standards but I wonder why some users choose to hoard this sendable merits and allowing it to vanish with time.
Is it a good habit to allow one's sendable merits to decay?

You don't tell people what they want to do with their earned merit, if they find your post worthy enough, I'm very confident they will give you without thinking twice. It's true that some people don't send out their Smerit and that could be for some reasons. It could be that they don't see good quality posts, it might be that they don't write in English frequently and they are more active in local board than the main board, it might also be that the person doesn't like you, this might sound harsh but some people have their favourite people they check their profile and give to the posts they think they deserve it.

I want you to know that we have more than 20 merit source in this forum, if one active user doesn't give you, the rest will give you and if you are active in doing things that deserve merit, not only the merit source will hive you, even normal people that engage to post will give you merits. It's depend on your efforts and how active you are in the Forum and how valuable your posts are to the public and don't expect to get merited for all your efforts, you might even do quality things that deserves merit and you wouldn't get that moment but when anyone comes across it, they can give you if it's worthy and deserving.
