It’s not necessarily highly unlikely. Gambling still gives the average 50/50 chance of win/failure. So, you could still win anyways, but 50/50 is quite a risk for someone who is desperate for the money. In regard to taking loans, that may be a better option but for me, I avoid loans a lot because it’s improper to spend your future money. Money you have no clue yet how much work you’ll put in to get it.
On what ratio do you use to rate the gambling chance of winning and losing to be 50/50? Because I see gambling having a higher chance of winning over the gambler, the gambler most of the time has a very minimal chance of winning in every game compared to how they can lose to gambling, the risk is far more than 50/50.

~~~
Looking at it averagely, the chance of winning gambling games is 50/50. For instance, a coin flipping gambling game leaves you 50/50, because it’s obviously either head or tail and when you pick one of those, you’re 50% likely to get it right. Even in roulette, and many other games, there are 50/50 chances.

Sports betting is an example of a game that has the ability to not be 50/50. For instance, you can predict the exact goals that will come from the match and the probability for that isn’t 50/50 because there are a bunch of many other possible scores (which is why the reward for such predictions is usually higher).
I don't know if the point you are given is truly understood by me but I would just like to add that be it sports betting or any type of betting the probability of winning against losing is always actually the same or if any difference then it will always favour the casino rather than the players. So many people in Nigeria is also tied with this mentality as they feel they are comfortable with any little winnings and earning. But the game is about the bigger picture because That's what really matters with my children

Op, in gambling strange things happen that are far from our predictions. Games like this can end up Turing the other way round. Yesterday I tried using this strategy but it didn't end up well. A game of 2:0 later ended up 2:2 scenarios even worse than this have happened. So the fact that it's a goal, two or even 3 difference doesn't mean the match will always end up favouring the wining team at that moment. And this is why gambling is considered a game of absolute luck, we cannot always know what's coming and that why gambling is risky and we need to gamble with caution, not to gamble with more than what we can't afford to loss.
424  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: April 28, 2024, 08:02:37 PM
Mistakes gambling often make are numerous and that's one of the reason we tend to Fing more gambling chasing the wrong thing or having a wrong mindset which might lead to addiction or irresponsible gambling. Some gamblers make the mistake of assuming gambling to be a secure source of income which can make them millionaires overnight. Usually people with this thought are good victims to addiction after a while, and they always end up gambling irresponsibly. Another commot mistake or should I say characters of some gamblers is greed. Some gamblers prefer to loss all their profit and their stake even after a cash out has been offered. Though some games are worth the patient but come to think of it, gambling is basically centred on luck, and that last sure game could end up becoming the odd game amongst your predictions.
425  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are online/crypto casinos the most profitable digital business? on: April 28, 2024, 07:38:10 PM
It's difficult to say for sure that online casino is the most profitable online business, but however gambling and covered a very wide range of usages by citizens of various nations, except in countries/states where they deem it inappropriate for usage. Then penalties for breaking those laws will also be executed. But aside that gambling is one of the fastest growing business that is being run by some companies. Business ideas are always backup by branding and that what make your business to be unique from the rest even if they started or have gained more fame. The rapid growth of casino make it look as though gambling is the most profitable business but I believe there are other online business which are far better than gambling in term of running a casino.
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones on: April 28, 2024, 07:13:43 PM
Majority of persons who gamble are usually the youths because at that old age you are already begging to settle down and relax more than stressing your mental ability to make predictions and all that. But from where I come from, both old and young are gambling at a very close ration of 40:70. The youths focus on majorly on sport betting and some casino games while the aged men focus on playing a game called Loto, were dey have to generate/predict numbers and if anyone successfully guesses the number to be display by the casino after some hours, they'll  be the winner of the game. While their reward is  dependent on how much dey put in as stake. However the old usually get addicted to this game but their addiction is unlike that of the youths because, they usually make small stakes, as low as some cents per entry.
427  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Only Sell what you don't need. on: April 27, 2024, 10:48:29 PM
One of the reasons why we make investments on profitable assets is to help us earn and never depend on having a single source for that, it will not make sense if we are having a profitable physical asset of investment that is yield and we are earning from such, then we discard and sell off all because of intention for making bitcoin investment, this isn't perfect enough because we should have at least more than one source of income, except the physical asset is no longer profitable and has turned a liability, then we can decide on selling and investing on bitcoin with the money.
From where I stand on this, only a stupid person will actually sell off an asset that's quite beneficial to the person because I see no reason why anyone would even make such decision, because I believe no matter whatis planning or investment idea he has, having other means that can cover up for such plans is probably the right and best thing to do not letting go of an important physical asset just for the sake of making a move towards the particular plans in mind.
428  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 27, 2024, 10:31:19 PM
Gambling can definitely be a hobby because there are many people who likes gambling and enjoy it when playing for fun.
But there is a slim line between calling it a hobby and getting addicted to it and there are gambling addicts who call it a hobby but are addicted to gambling itsead.
So we must understand that difference but for the topic of this post, yes, gambling can be a hobby.

An addict wouldn't come directly to say he's addicted. Within him he would think he's not addicted. They enjoy every single part of gambling and crave more of it. When participating in gambling as a hobby staying careful is the right thing doing. As you mentioned, gambling as a hobby has a thin line between addiction. When care is not taken the gambler would have a hard time escaping addiction.

Gambling as a hobby seem to be a daily gambling activity and the player needs to maintain a level of concentration while gambling, daily. What Is most relevant is getting the limits in place. Nothing else. Players who get carried away will find themselves struggle with addiction. While gambling can be a hobby it's a risk for a greedy gambling. Fun players can deal with it, and level it with few months of break. Taking a break is quite effective in recuperating the brain, during those times of rest.
I think not all addicts do enjoy their Gambling session because some of them are even tired of it maybe due to the frequent losses they do get from their gambling habits but something doesn't just sits well with them because no how hard they will try its still circles back and that's why it's said that some gambling cases needs extra hands to tackle because stopping and enjoying an addiction is two different things.
429  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Fight against Yahaya Bello on: April 27, 2024, 10:25:41 PM
To be honest I'm so tired of discussing Nigeria politics and it's corrupt practice's, from all the evidence presented Bello should be tried by the Nigeria court and if find guilty should face the law is as simple as that but no corruption won't let the right thing be done in Nigeria.
The Nigerian constitution should be amended there are a lot of loop holes that needs to be corrected.
If only we can do away with high rate of corruption in Nigeria then and only then we can succeed as a nation.
My brother like you naija politics don really tire and this particular one wey I dey hear about this guy na just dey piss me because I can't imagine how a governor go use public funds go use for him pikin school fees the matter just tire me because this one na the core of corruption and the funny thing is that since then dem never still arrest the motherfucker and for what reason?
430  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making the Most of $100 bankroll on: April 27, 2024, 09:38:44 PM
Well, if he is to bet on sports games like football, he can still reduce the amount to $2 per bet, which gives him the chance to stake on more than 40 games. I normally stake $1 per game or even less, but if I see a potential game that I feel convinced enough to stake a huge amount, that's only when I can stake above $5; otherwise,  I prefer to just manage my bankroll until I have satisfied my urge to play. Perhaps I don't even deposit more than $20, and I tried as much as I could to manage that amount for the number of games I would be playing. 
The only way he could do that is when he decides to go with parlay selection and although it's not certain but I believe most gamblers are too keen with playing multiple selection. But if am the one playing with the 100$ I would probably do the same thing because since the whole context of the game is dependent on luck I would prefer going as low as I can and just enjoying my prediction and hoping that luck do he rest.
431  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Regulation of price by the government on: April 26, 2024, 09:41:31 PM
One of the major problems we are facing in our country Naija is the regulation of price should be handled by the police or tax forces to monitor every citizen selling goods, must of the company really take advantage of the current situation of the price because of the dollar rate, even when the dollar is not high some people are selling a particular commodity or goods in different rate, this is because no one is monitoring them, and it really affecting the poor because of the price rate, don’t you think this is really happening? Everyone should know what I’m talking about. If you go to 4 different stores you will find out that it different prices.
If our government should look into this price of a thing.
The thing be say be no be say dem no get people or agency wey supposed dey help regulate this price of goods but the matter be na how their activeness dey because I remember say there was a time the price of petrol was out of hand in my area and this particular group although I don't know their names started locking up filling stations that was selling above the normal price and the following week that pressure became effective as the whole price took to corrections. If this kind actions is done in every sector and area then price if things atleast go get head small.
432  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: April 26, 2024, 09:31:17 PM
I do multi-bets and single-bets, every time I win, sometimes I forget myself and use all my $$ on the next bet. This sometimes gives me big wins, but if I'm unlucky I can lose all my funds and this has happened many times.
This means that you are greedy. Do not mind me that I said that. I was like this before. I can win 10x and still continue to bet with the total money that I have and my winning together on a single bet. I even remember a time that I bet like $1 up to when I won $35 and I lost all at ones. It is called greediness and it happens to addicted gamblers. You will need to stop that because you are chasing money and not fun.
This total $$ betting manners comes from when you have excess balance on your casino account, because at a level where you have just a small amount of deposited amount in your account, you won't be tempted to bet with all your total funds, and at some level you will know when to take out money from a casino when you already accumulated a tempting balance amount from your game seasons and rewards.
I think gamblers need to learn more about management because this is one of the way people loses their funds in gambling when they don't have self control. We need to be wise and make sure that we understand and how the risk we are taking before going into gambling. Gambling can be very risky that is why we need to be able to take little risks that would not not jeopardize our entire savings and make us lose money in the crypto market. I have worked with risk management and how to properly gamble so that one would not incur unnecessary loses. Money can be made if we take the actual risks that are necessary for us.
Gambling is a game of risk when you approach it with the wrong intentions and that's why many people or gamblers find it really hard and make so many errors when they gamble. If the act of gambling was actually used or enjoyed as the way it's supposed to be then many wouldn't resort to understand or studying risk management because you would know and understand that what you are losing is what you have deem losable because whatever you do the fact of you acquiring loses is a must .

Finally, the long-anticipated thread has come live... It's great to have you here, @Airbet_io. 

I have scrutinized the casino, and it's all wow. I love how everything looks. I warmly welcome you guys to the forum. 
Well I was surprised at first to see that this casino doesn't have any ANN discussion thread for users to discuss because for a casino to survive long here this is actually vital and it's very important and I also welcome you guys to the atmosphere.

Like you am also giving the casino +1 as the website interface is pretty simple and easy to load although am not too impressed about the Bonus offers but I believe they might offer more in the long run of staying here because that's one of the features that attracts more users to the casino.
434  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blogs and Forums. Additional Features in Online Casinos on: April 26, 2024, 09:17:02 PM
There are online casinos that have a blog where their clients or potential clients can turn, to read gambling related articles without leaving the website. There are also online casino websites that have its own forum for their clients like a community interaction.

In addition, there are the ones that do not have any of these features. While  some of us may just want to sign up and start playing immediately, it is not so for others. Do you by chance consider these features when assessing and selecting which casinos to join and play on?
Well now that you have pointed this out I think I have actually played in some casino having these extra features although it has never being of any interest to me but am sure that some gamblers do enjoy it, where I do enjoy is when am using crypto exchange and one that I like that has something like this is binance exchange but for gambling or casino site, I don't think I actually look out for such features before using the casino.

Anyone feels the lag while opening the casino site or while toggling between game, or it's just me?

My internet connection is pretty fast, so the speed is not causing this. I am using opera mostly for my gambling activities.

Any suggestions?
I hope the lag you experience is over because I just accessed the site from two different browsers in my mobile and it all when perfectly. Well maybe sometimes the fault might be from your end and sometimes when I face something like this I just clear the cookies in my browser and load everything once more and it usually works fine although their is also the option of trying another browser means.
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: April 26, 2024, 11:44:42 AM
A lot of social media influencers especially vloggers and YouTubers are promoting gambling usually at the end of their vlogs or videos.
I could see a huge contribution and spread of information that they made especially during this time where the majority are using smartphones already. In fact, we've been seeing a massive increase in gamblers and online gambling sites. But how this could affect the mindset of the kids when they are also seeing these ads/promotions from the social media influencers they followed? I could be wrong but this has a mental effect on them and at a very young age, they are exposed to gambling already which is supposedly not the right time.

I think these influencers must know their target audience before accepting the offer or should not be included in their vlogs or videos?
Well you can't actually blame the influencers themselves because with the rate at which everyone is exposed to social media,  regulations aren't really put in to actually stop the particular age that aren't supposed to see this and that's why many people get it all tangle up especially the young ones that are glued to their mobiles 24/7. Most of these social influencers aren't really gamblers themselves but they just do what they do just for the sake of paid advertising.

Hero member rank
Well although it skipped my memory actually announced this great achievement here at the right time when I ranked up, I still felt the urge to do so because the journey wasn't an easy one and believe me when I say this because if someone actually pointed that I would definitely get or achieve such height here in the forum,  I would definitely be at doubt but thats whats patience and commitment can do.

Today am also a hero member 🙌  and am very grateful and thankful because it took alot of hard work and learning too, this bitcoin community is probably the most lucrative one in the whole crypto community,  well for those that I know of course. 

So using this medium to express the gratitude and appreciation of everyone who were an instrument and part of this journey.
438  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Don't sell in loss on: April 25, 2024, 08:07:03 PM
This is 2024 It's  seem we had some early bull which was before the halving and even gave us new ATH  but we are yet to see our  bull run that was too early for a bull run maybe... Not taking to hard, our bull run might not follow the previous  halving  pattern we might even have a early bull run, even  any moment from now  so my give out will be
Keep your holdings and Don't sell in loss

In my opinion, I don't think what he have tasted can regarded as bull run but I know for sure that we are not in bear market, this is just pre hype of the market. I checked the previous bull run and some of the coins that pick up up before the main Bitcoin halving, many coins like Theta did 20x and even Cardano had a lot of pump before the halving but I think the crash that happened last year isn't given some people the trust to come back again.

We may see a big boom in the altcoins market but I'm not sure much about Bitcoin, the price looking to expensive for the price to double and people are not looking to see much return on investment on Bitcoin like before. I think from this price, we should expect a max pump of 5x from this place before 2025.

One thing am certain is that no matter what happens, Bitcoin nai be the coin wey me I sabi as I no dey for anything wey concise altcoins although me I support say the price of some altcoins go pump oo but I no know wether you don even see the way the market dey be with altcoins project, because na two two seconds the thing dey take pump and then drop and Incase you come go buy enter mumu coins na be say ma brother your own na otilo.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: April 25, 2024, 07:54:50 PM
But from my experience (having that Beginners luck) i have first have winnings mate , I remember having taste the biggest win in my entire gambling career before tasting complete losses eventually.
but sadly that amount that I come to win in the beginning turns I lose all and extending my losses to more than 50x of that amount up to now.

So I learn that gambling isn't really a place where to take money, instead this is the place where we are buying Happiness and Fun and not continues wins.
I believe there is a theory that's also attached to this particular experience of yours which is the theory about the casino actually being the one's setting trap for the gamblers with that first massive win although it's hair a theory but almost everyone I know that won big on theor first trial always have this same story to tell about actually loosing all out to the casino in amount that's way above the actual amount they started with.
440  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbies take bitcoin as long term Choice to get the best out of bitcoin on: April 25, 2024, 07:11:58 PM
The long ride is what many people are not prepared for, I bet that those newbies who are borrowing money to invest in Bitcoin will avoid it when they get to know that it's a long-term hold thing to make money from Bitcoin.

Borrowing money to invest in bitcoin is a no go area for any newbies, infact not even good for anyone to borrow to buy such a high risk asset like bitcoin, because doing so can lead to more devastating outcome and also put the investor under pressure to cash out the investment and that can build impatient which is against the original profits approach in bitcoin.


Bitcoin is designed for long term perspective and if anything happens in the short term only those that have knowledge and understanding of the risk involved in taking short term stands may be able to make any profits.
First of all, there is no fixed time to when the price might go up and again their is no assurance to know if the price will go up in the time frame you took the loan so the option of collecting loan is a definitely a NO NO. Bitcoin is the best crypto out there and it has proven this time without number so what anyone needs to do to get some good vibes off their investment is to actually go for a long term investment rather than taking huge risk of collecting loan when you know the price is always volatile.
