441  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is the Worst online Casino you've played on so far? on: May 26, 2024, 09:15:09 AM
In my experience for crypto gambling is 1xbit they cheat us and don't pay our money, I think it's not just one or two victims on this forum, and that's the only casino I've ever tried and had a bad experience playing there.
But besides that, there are also many other casino sites but based on FIAT from my country, namely Juragan888, judi188, ARK777 and others, there are many more, but some have lost their sites.

Now I am more careful and not carelessly playing at any casino, reading the TOS and looking at the track record of the casino is an act of judging a casino doing gambling fairly or not and they pay or not, we will be able to see it from many other people's reviews.
Oh, that's true, the reputation of 1xbit proceeds it and that was more reason why they abandoned the forum disgracefully after so many allegations and attacks. This was bad to the point that anyone who campaigns for the casino would be tagged negatively, which means that people were so bitter with it, unlike other casinos that are even often called out for some bad allegations. This could only mean that their offence was full to the brim and needed people to react. But for the fact that I never used it or was a victim of it, I do not have the right to include it as part of the ones I experienced. By the way, just for clarity's sake, were you referring to the bonus campaign pay or your bet winnings with them? Either way, casinos do not have any right to be advertising in a very unique forum like this and be using the opportunity to swindle people at the same time.
442  Economy / Gambling / Re: More revelations on the challenges of physical casinos on: May 26, 2024, 09:00:59 AM
I don't think there are much challenges with the use of physical casino even though as at now, gamblers will prefer more of the use of online crypto gambling casinos than the physical ones because of their comfort and affordability, gambling is not what we don't enjoy like that, we are the ones that play bets and gambles in some ways which we shouldn't because of some personal issues that surrounds how we are gambling, while using a physical casino or not is by individual preference.
Just like you, I do not see much of an issue with physical casinos, and so long as you know what you want, you should go for it. There are some people who like to go to the physical casinos simply because they just want to be entertained, connect and also entertain people, as the case may be. This is what most extroverted people would do, and no one can blame them for that, especially if the casino is in their proximity. But for many other people who want to do their thing in their closet, they will also prefer online casinos. This includes those who would want to do it privately but due to one reason or another like the proximity, or internet/gadget failure, they could do otherwise.

Now, if we think about the OP's context, there is a point there regardless of what we think in general. Betting online means you are dealing with the casino directly, but playing with many physical casinos means that there is a high risk of playing with a mere franchisement arrangement which means that a middleman is between you and the main company, and for this, anything bad/ugly like what the OP narrated may happen.

However, this is peculiar to small casinos and the ones that are not directly owned and operated by the parent company, but it is not particularly true for all physical casinos.
443  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best Crypto Casinos! on: May 26, 2024, 08:42:54 AM
We can make use of any measure in determining for the best crypto casino for our own use, each gambling platforms has their own way of rendering their services to the best of interest on what we want and sometimes we may also find out that some of those features are not up to the required expectation of what we want from them, which may make some appear to is and not the best casinos while some not meeting up to the standard of what we want.
But what i was thinking?  these thread is posted here in bitcointalk forum directly in gambling section when you can find
so much offering and legit site that have been serving forum for many years now. the only thing that he needs to do is to
check each thread of gambling site here for them to  find a better site and to be safe when depositing and of course withdrawing.
This is very good advice and I know that this forum in particular is a very good opportunity for anyone who wants to choose aright, or at least fairly rightly. There are no bad casinos here, if they mistakingly exist, it would have been called out and people often frown on such. Also, the review here and how we follow each case is unique, needless to say, we are not biased here even if we are campaigning for a particular casino, especially me, I will spit the truth out regardless.

Conclusively, on average, everyone can choose right, and as I said, there are no bad casinos here, but still, one may still see the good and ugly casinos, so extra care is still needed. If the gambler has chosen already or has highlighted the ones to choose, extra online research is still advised so that the forum will even be exonerated of any faults.

That should be in your dreams and I do not think any wise person will give you a try for any reason. You can imagine how you praise yourself so well as though you are the best in the world of sports betting, but without a single proof to at least let us feel the iota of truth in what you say whether or not the proof is real or it was even merely a lucky period to at least show us that you know what you are doing.

Mind you, the popular saying among your kind that a certain renowned casino/sportsbook has banned you due to your huge winnings is no longer selling. Maybe you guys should change tactics as people are getting wiser. Grin

445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will altcoins ever cheap again? on: May 26, 2024, 08:16:25 AM
The market goes through ups and downs in movement. If you are investing in altcoins, then you will have plenty of chances to invest. If you don't get the chance to join the old project, then you will surely be able to get a chance to invest in a new project. There will be plenty of projects in the short term to make a profit. I am pretty confident that most people won't buy altcoin at the bottom. People wanted to invest when the price was moving forward. If an altcoin is moving sideways, then there is still time to invest.
You have some valid points even though some are not thorough or could mislead. What makes altcoins to be unique is that they often have their seasons and even when some altcoins are buying at random times, others might be relaxing, but when the time of those that initially bought ends, those you never thought they were going to buy will start buying. That is the difference here that is expanding the opportunities of making more money in altcoins.

You can imagine what happened to PEOPLE recently, the DAO token initially sold so well but started at a low level a few days ago, but before I knew it, it had moved 5 times of its price. That's the gist. Smart investors can be scouting for the cheap coins/tokens all the time, and they will surely find the ones that will still have their time to buy significantly like the example I just cited.

Again, there are bearish and bullish seasons in the crypto market, so if anyone can be so patient, that's if they are afraid to buy now, they can wait for the bearish season to end. By then, all coins and tokens would have taken a nosedive and they would all be cheap to buy at that time. But I hope the crypto cycle continues to happen the way it always does. This is applicable to the old and new crypto projects, but let me warn you, you should always be careful and not e too trusting of nay project, we should always DYOR for our own good.
446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mental rehabilitation clinic. on: May 26, 2024, 07:25:15 AM
Yes, sometimes it’s really happens this way. It’s just a piece of advice because I am myself are usually advise people on the risk in  a gambling and how to overcome it gambling is more strong than any other thing you can ever think of and it is very addictive. It’s not something that should be very close to you all the time it is something that you should do once while, if you put a lot of attention and gambling, it will really affect you a lot affecting more than what you can take off.
Let us not take it too-emphatic more than the way it is, gambling addiction could be so challenging but I fear drug addiction more than it, so you should not paint it as if it is the worst. Also, gambling addiction is by choice, you could choose to be a wise and smart gambler and you may choose to be a foolish gambler who is susceptible to every danger associated with it, the choice is always ours. But one thing that is so certain is that anyone (even if the person is so addicted to gambling) can get healed as quickly as possible if they can help themselves. And they can do this by first wanting to get healed, and by this, they will be using their inner power to start fighting it.

I do not even know why gambling addiction is so dangerous to some people, is it by force you gamble? If it is about the money to be made from it, is it the only avenue to make money, and why not turn to a more reasonable and honourable means of making the money? At times, I do not pity those who are addicted to gambling because they are very annoying to have even allowed themselves to be addicted to it. For what reason if not for foolishness and greed of wanting to make the money hugely and very fast?
447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are confident with your picks, do you win most of the time? on: May 25, 2024, 09:00:14 PM
I would like to ask everyone here who is into sports betting for some advice. I've come to realize that maybe I should start fading myself. I've noticed that my recent gambling journey hasn't been profitable, so I'm thinking maybe I'm missing something. I tried an experiment by just recording my picks and then betting the opposite of my analysis. Surprisingly, this resulted in profitable betting.

So how about you? Have you ever thought of this idea when your picks aren't hitting? I mean, if we keep following how we think and feel with our picks and it doesn't translate to profit, there's no reason to continue following the same strategy. But are we comfortable with betting against our own picks just for the sake of fading ourselves strategy?


The concepts of this thread is very hilarious, personally I have only thought about this I haven't practiced it, is quite funny and it will take extral mind for any one play against his picks, I know it is a reality in the game of sports betting where at most times the unfortunate opposite will be become the surprising outcome how funny could that be. But however, it is a fact that every gambler has to accept, no certainty or guarantee towards whatever that might be your favorite picks , betting is a game of try your luck and shouldn't be completely rely on, the reason why it is always advisable not to gamble with more than what you can afford to lose, know your limit and stand by it.

I do not find it hilarious, rather it should be able to make OP think outside the box when next he places a bet. I think OP just experimented it by playing against his picks since his picks are usually not in his favour. Fortunately for him, his new decision paid off. This brings me to these conclusions, probably OP always places bets base on how he feels about the teams involved. His emotions plays the most role in the choices he makes. Now he understands where he got it wrong all along, he can take better approaches while placing bets next time. This is gambling and ofcourse there is no 100% guarantee that any strategy is the best, but the most important thing to note is that you are not the one aiding your losses with your wrong decisions all the time.
Bro, in contrast to your opinion, I found it more hilarious and odd at the same time, something that will not see the light of day. For the fact that the OP is happy now due to the luck he had in the first pick does not mean that this is a good idea. Unless the initial strategy of the gambler is bad from the onset, that is how this kind of strategy can be practicable. You might have a very strong trading strategy with a 75% winning, which means that your probability of losing is also 25%. Regardless, if you are a good manager of your gambling and its portfolio, it will be easy for you to work with the 75% winning and manage your way to success even as you use the opportunity to override the possibility of losing which is 25%.

By that, it is not that you will not be losing at times but you have limited the impact in your betting, and in the long run, you would have an above-average high success since the 75% chance of winning is greater than the 25% chance of losing. Now, think it this way, the possibility of losing is 25%, the time that the OP won in his narration might merely be the time of the 25% of losing possibility. But for the fact that it better it in the opposite of his startegy, he now won it. But what about the higher chance (75%) of winning with the same strategy? What happens has he now turns to 75% of losing due to his propose opposite strategy? I think this strategy will never last long regardless of what anyone tells me, unless he had a bad strategy initially.
448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: May 25, 2024, 07:03:14 PM
Personally I don't see how anyone would take a habit if losing money as a hobby and that woudl either be an excuse to keep up to with the habit or beign delusional, yeah I agree that gambling might be fun and can add thrill to a normal game but it can't be a hobby in my opinion and with the introduction of esportsbet app that has taken the losing to a whole new level and winning its now all about the money rather than fun cause I've never enjoyed any online casino game and its hardly entertaining to me.
If a gambler that's gambling as a hobby that means he is not different from someone who's addicted, it's only an addicted gambler that will gamble because he wants to gamble and make money. Some gamble to recover their loses and some gamble to earn more money because their jobs can't offer them a good pay salaries, gamblers that gambles for entertainment are not much compared to the gamblers that gambles to earn money.
don't know if there is a relevance but I think when a gambler is addicted he had different views comparing to hobbiest because if the person considered this as hobby meaning he can admit being loser because he is for enjoyment means? addict is far different from hobby.

But for sure those who consider this as hobby then they are for sure a very wealthy person  because a poor person will never treat this as that.
instead they will gamble fo completely win and not to enjoy .
There is nothing far-fetched here, gambling is what you take it to be, and naturally, many people mistook gambling for what it is now, which is one of the reasons why it is difficult for them to either have fun in it or make money as well. Frankly, if you take gambling for fun, it will not be long before it will automatically be your fun-filled avenue which will them becomes your hobby. There are many people engaging in this and they would have zeroed their minds on the money they could make from it. This is the easiest and smartest way to go about gambling even as the gambler will be winning and losing intermittently. Nevertheless, it will be worth it over time because it is the joy/fun they want from it, and so will it deliver to them.

This is the way you take it as your hobby, just like the way you read your magazines/books, watch movies or play games. Unfortunately, it is not easy for some people to do, that is why they tag gambling all sorts of names, simply because they could not adjust themselves to it and gamble with a neutral mind that would help them have that fun. But all their minds are positioned on the money that is possible through gambling. Sadly, they mostly do not get that money but only achieve addiction through their irresponsible gambling lifestyle and addiction which will never get them anywhere positive.

By the way, whose fault is this? Theirs, of course, and it's simply because their psychology is wrong from the onset about gambling itself, so they will never enjoy (fun) it or profit from it.
449  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: May 25, 2024, 06:43:45 PM
Afraid to get addicted - dont gamble. Pretty simple. Getting addicted to something is individual problem. There are people who gamble for many years and still not addicted. There are people who have lost their first bet, now chase that loss and all they think is how to stop this and end with profit. Imho it is impossible to tell when or after which bet a switch in brain will trigger and person get addicted. Important notice - repeatedly doing something does not mean addiction. Habit is not an addiction.
Well, I see your first sentence to be inaccurate, as it's not proper to cut the head simply because you are having a headache, gambling is not an automatic means to get addicted to it but how people take it causes the addiction. If you can't control yourself, especially your emotions and mind regarding gambling, then it becomes a problem. But this problem is not directly orchestrated by gambling but by the weak minds of the gamblers, so should we now entirely avoid gambling just because we are not man enough to be cautious and control ourselves, I say No. I for one is not addicted to gambling and what has helped me most is the fact that I do not take anything too seriously, esevailly when it involves money. This is in addition to the fact that I have a very strong mind, I mean I have my on mind that I can control actively, and this has helped me to have my say over gambling.

As for beginners or anyone who is fighting gambling addiction, they should go back to their drawing table of initial learning and mind shaping towards it, if not, it will never stop and it could get aggravated into more issues. If gamblers are pre-warned about the issue of gambling and prepared to be cautious towards it, it will never be an issue for them. They will gamble with care and calculatively, to the point that they will never put their minds on the money to be made through gambling but will always resort to the true fact that gambling is more luck-inclined and nothing more.

With this understanding, and with the right preparation and expertise in the areas of planning, budgeting and management, and also in the preservation of a balanced psychology, I am sure that the gambler will be a better person void of addiction and other gambling issues.
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed can cause a lost bet, (true or false) on: May 25, 2024, 06:17:29 PM
Last 2 night I signed up to an online bet called betking (become a KING) and I bet a virtual stake with 1700 naira to win 1,438,540.92 naira, but the game was lost and the bet that made it to lost was the last one I added, before I added the last one that made the winning to be this amount, I was having double thoughts like should I make the winning a random figure 1.5 million or I should stake it at 1.3? But out of greed I refused to bet the game at 1.3 and I added the one that lost the bet, what a pity?
Greed is one thing that gets some game lost, the stake we are supposed to win out of greed we add another that get the game lost.
Out of my own experience I have learnt my lessons, but I don't believe that this opportunity might ever come again because I don't bet often, on a second thought this my story is what makes some people put more interest on gambling.
My advice to you is that you should not beat yourself unnecessarily over this, it is one of those things. In your case, let me say it is not even greed per se, you were just unlucky in this case. I define greed separately to what happened to you even as it is contributory at the same time, and at times, the added game could even be won and those you chose earlier than it could be lost, that's gambling for you. It's bad you are beating yourself now and feeling bad simply because it was the last game you added that cut the ticket, it should not be like that.

Luck is what I see here, but unfortunately, it was not on your side, still, continue to analyze your match very well and bet your thing, one day, you will win the whole ticket. But still, I advise people to limit the amount of betting they loop together, it is never worth it when it is getting too much. We should know that the higher the number of games we combine together in a ticket, the higher the difficulty of winning the game and also the higher the possibility of losing the match. This is why I bet my games independently so that if I lose a match, it will not affect the others. This is not about what earns me a huge amount of winnings but the consistency and how it helps me to manage my gambling portfolio better even as I win more with it.
451  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the limits and common sense of bet? on: May 25, 2024, 06:04:07 PM
Today I'm going to address a slightly more serious subject. Do you know these meaningless bets? What do people usually do in circles with friends?

Children's bets like: you can't do it (any random action within the context and environment), I'll bet my salary...

If the bettor has bet something... be it money or some personal item, is the bettor obliged to pay? What does your jurisdiction say about this?

-snip-
Have you ever made a bet that led to an embarrassing situation or do you know someone who has?

What are the limits of a bet, can a bettor bet something that he is unable to pay? i.g: betting your own life or 10 years' salary? And also without gaining anything in return, since he only bet against and didn't bet anything if that bettor won...

Or as long as everything was done in a contract that such unusual types of bets would be worth?
This is serious and any gambler that is practising this can only be termed Addicted and Irresponsible above all other things else. Gambling is not what we should take for a do-or-die affair, it should be voluntarily and enjoyed by the right minds for it. But the moment you know that you are not fitting for gambling, just quit it, or else, you will have yourself to blame in the long run. You can imagine someone betting his salary on gambling, or someone betting against his property just because they want to bet? That is preposterous and annoying, it should be frowned against in the society. Those who are agreeing to the terms of people betting on their properties or using them as collateral are even wicked in my opinion, because if I were the operator or the agent, I would rather reject that offer and offer some psychological help to the person. This is possible for me because everything is not about the money or taking advantage of the situation of the person but show sympathy and impact in the humanitarian aspect of life.

Before I go, let me say a few words of advice. Any bettor that is taking it to the extreme should retrace their steps, it is not worth it and it shows clearly that they are already Mad even if they do not realise it yet. I see these things you iterated above as absurd and anyone doing absurdity can't tell me they are well. They could be well physically, but truly psychologically, they are simply unwell, and they need to take care of that before it is late. Those people in this stage may not even need to deceive themselves with some kind of self-help anymore as it is obvious that they have crossed the red line already. They rather need professional help before something worse than losing their money happens to them.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: May 25, 2024, 09:14:01 AM
I don't think it's easy for them to be able to correct their thoughts, especially if they have become addicted to gambling, of course they will only think about gambling and continue gambling even though the gambling ends in losses and defeats. It is very unlikely that they will be able to correct their thoughts, especially when they are enthusiastic about gambling with confidence or even believe they can win with the gambling they are doing. Of course, with experienced players they can think rationally, but we should also be able to consider everything including the actions we will take, but even though experienced players can think rationally, there are times when they lose self-control and I I feel like it can't be hidden.

with those who are not suited to gambling, of course they must be aware of this, by distancing themselves from gambling to avoid losses that can be large in amount, but if they still insist on gambling because they want to get a win that can make them buy what they want with the winnings what they get, but not everything is easy, of course there will definitely be a lot of losses that occur, even though there is luck that can make them win, but of course that doesn't happen very often.
But by the way, I noticed that there are still such players among all players in general who are a little luckier in gambling than all the other players. 
Such lucky players are found even when they play games where the result of winning or losing is completely random and does not depend on the skill and gaming experience of this player.  This phenomenon of a lucky gambler therefore exists, although according to the theory of probability such gamblers should not exist.  It seems that all the luck of such players comes down to their game from somewhere above, from higher powers or from some higher deity or from some powerful all-encompassing supermind. 
I think that many of you have encountered such a phenomenon in your life.

Gambling is indeed a game of chance, so those who are able to win are probably because luck is on their side, not based on the player's skill or experience in gambling. but with those who win because of luck, I think there are more people who lose from gambling, because winnings which are difficult to get in gambling cannot be faked. with those who can get big wins, they are very lucky to be able to get it. I myself am not a hypocrite because I also want to get my lucky point by being able to get a big win, but until now this has not happened, only small wins that I have gotten among the gambling that I have done.

However, several times I have been able to buy what I wanted with the proceeds from gambling which were quite large. Therefore luck does play a big role here, big wins can happen even if we use the smallest bet amount because luck doesn't look at the bet amount and who is playing, luck will be on your side when it's time.

Gambling has its own charm and appeal, and it's all about Luck. It would seem that gambling, like batting, is solid mathematics, but the whole interest is that someone gets to a lucky number and someone does not. And the loser has to go all the way, sorting through all the numbers and only at the end receiving a prize.
And not everyone is given this, because not everyone has the patience and deposit to ensure their gambling with a long search of probabilities.
Most will give up. And maybe it's right, because it's better than playing and playing and eventually getting addicted.
The possibility of gamblers making that huge money even as their mind is positioned towards the money is so little, so what do you expect? I think it's high time that gamblers wake up from their dreams and face the reality of the activity. Gambling is not hard on its own but the approach we are using to play it is, it matters a lot but people often disregard it and engage it shabbily all the same. This is an activity that is highly luck-inclined, and even if you are smart enough to deviate to sports betting, you will still need a high degree of luck irrespective of your expertise about it.

This is why we should zero our minds and the money to be made in gambling. We should gamble politely and managerially even as we accept the outcome of our bettings. This is more reason why we should not be betting carelessly with huge money at all times, because we never know the outcome for sure, so we should think about what the betting outcomes would cause to our psychological state if we lose it above anything else. This is a matter of "before warn is before arm," and I am sure that gamblers with this kind of cautious mind will not be affected by gambling in any way since they've already prepared for the outcome even as they take gambling for what it really is.
453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: May 25, 2024, 09:01:22 AM
The concepts of this thread is a whole lots good advice which cuts across showing that you are on top of your game, no one should be carried away by greed to gamble more with their winning instead you should keep a land mark showing your achievements with your winning and it gives a certain level of happiness at any point you are making use of whatever you used your winning for. It really feels good having a winning but utilizing it wisely is another one big problem, there are those who play games with all there winning out of greed and loss out completely, be wise gambling gives no guarantee. Utilize your winning wisely.
You are very right on your advice,I mean it's worth taking because I have suffered this before in football gambling,I played a game and won it,but I wanted to extend the winning more by playing more games with the whole money, expecting that I will win again and win more than double of the one I've won,butt since gambling is something unpredictable,I thought the game I chose was the best for winnings,but at the end of the day,I loss all the money I used for the game,and I couldn't stop regretting why I didn't cashout the one I won first.
Ever since then,i don't make that mistake again,if I win any game,I cash it out first before gambling again on a certain amount that I won't regret if I lose.
Oh, that's a sad story, but it is not uncommon in gambling, and it is the reason why we should gamble smartly and wisely. Everything about gambling must be taken seriously, especially if you are the type that is so conservative about it, you have to get your mental alertness ready and also make sure that you are so calculative and budgetary.

You should have known how to place your bet correctly and how to manage your gambling portfolio safely without emotions like greed. This still further entails the calculation of your winnings and how to dive them into reasonable proportions to know the proportion that will be reinvested into gambling, the one that will end up in enjoyment and celebration, and finally the one that would end up in business/investment. This plan will largely depend on the amount of the winning, regardless, no winning is too small to attract its own right plans if we are wise.

In your own case, had it been you preplanned things well, it would never have ended like that, but for your lack of the right management of your winning, you lost it back to gambling. See, gambling is never difficult, and even if a person is a loser in it, such can still be happy and moderate the losses with a viable plan, especially in the psychological and managerial aspects of it. I've tried and tested it many times and it is working for me, we just have to take gambling more seriously in terms of how we work our way around it and be accountable for whatever we do around it.
454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: May 25, 2024, 08:39:10 AM
As a responsible gambler it gladdens my heart always whenever I hear a fellow gambler testify of how he won a bulky amount of money from be it a bet or lotto and uses that money to inject into something meaningful for himself.

It all happened on my way home just this evening. I boarded a public bus and just in front of me were seated two young men too in their late thirty's having a conversation and from the conversation it sound like they haven't met for a long time and one was telling the other of how he had won a big amount of money from a lotto he played and he has used the money to get himself a new bus for public transportation business.

According to him, he once had a bus before which he was using for the transport business (carrying of passengers) but was seized and confiscated by the authority for he used it in conveying contraband goods of which he was hired to carry to some location by the goods owner on the way law enforcement agents stop them did a search and that was how he lost that vehicle.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.
I have also heard quite a lot of stories of people who were helped financially because they succeeded in winning most of the money when gambling, but only a small part managed to keep the winnings, the rest just ran out

If you gamble without complicating your financial condition, then you will not lose because the problem is that you don't win and instead become a gambling addict, however, gambling is an activity related to money, so be wise in that matter
Well, I don't think that anyone who is an adult, whether they gamble or not, would not have heard a few stories of those who hit the Jackpot so big to the point that it changed their lives (if they utilized it well) or the money is capable of changing their lives (even if they mismanaged it). So gambling is capable of either fixing our financial problems or financially rekindling our hope in life. But if we do not deceive ourselves at the same time, the percentage of such people who will say they won big in gambling is so little, that's the issue here. Gambling is so risky and those who can turn to it for financial help can't be automatically helped, especially if they are desperate about the money to be made from it. Gambling only blesses randomly and the magnitude is not that large at the same time.

This is why I advise anyone who needs financial liberation to turn elsewhere, gambling is not just that avenue, this is unless the person is only deceiving himself. Gambling has issues of its own and is not an automatic means to earn money but for luck. Think about it, how many people are so lucky in gambling to the point that they will always be happy when they turn to it? This is why we should be smart and knock elsewhere if we need money but only gamble with a neutral mind, and if the money comes from it no matter how big or little it is, then fine, it is our luck. But being desperate to look for the money through it? The gambler will only meet a worse fate as gambling will always be risky and addictive which could make the person lose more than even the money invested into it.

If you know any casino and websites with confirmed live streams please post them here, this can be free and paid services but try to post terms if you can.
I've never tried to watch my live match on casino streaming offers before, maybe I will even try it now as what a person may not like, another could like it. What I normally do and which I am okay with is to search on X (formerly Twitter) the match I want to watch and it brings it out most times. Also, I prefer free service to paid service in this regard.

However, in my experience, when it comes to football streaming and for you not to miss a single important match, cable TVs or their online enablements are the best. You can find your way around it to connect it to either your laptop or TV for higher resolution if that is what you want which you would have also selected as you stream.

Here in our country, if you hit the jackpot, you are given one year to claim your rewards. There is also a security feature on the back of the lotto ticket where you can write your name and sign it, so you are the only person who can claim the jackpot prize, and you have a year to claim it.
This is very bad, which country is that again? In my country, if you win your Lotto ticket today, you have the right to collect your money on that very day if time has not been far spent, or the very next day. At least, this is my experience with offline lottos, although they now have their presence online, but I do not think anything would change, and possibly, the online presence will make the whole process faster.

All they need to do is credit your bank account and you are good to go. Lotto is not what they are still verifying like that, once the combination is correct, you are good to go, so why the delay? A year? That's bad.

Quote
I read that some lottery winners take weeks or even months to claim their rewards, but what's the point?
What if you keep it and will surprise your family after a month, but you have an accident and you get into a coma?
Anything can happen any second even though we do not pray for bad things. This is more reason why people's wins and benefits should be paid as quickly as possible. What if the family member needed money to sort the hospital bill when the person was in the common but never knew how to claim the winnings or didn't know there was one winning to even claim?

Quote
Or you let it know to your family, but you decide that you will claim it after a month but some members of the family spread the news will this put your family and yourself in jeopardy
This is not an issue. I believe the winner must have known the kind of family he's from to conclude whether to tell them or not. In my family, not even the spouses would know if we want to keep it a secret.

Quote
Do you think it's a good idea to claim your winnings a day after hitting the jackpot or wait a few weeks?
How about you? When do you think is the right time to claim your winnings?
Conclusively, since the lotto company is not an investment bank that will be adding a huge interest to my money with them, then I prefer to claim my winnings within 24 hours. In my possession, I can decide on what I will do with my money, which I believe that the majority of it will go for business and investment. This is a cool plan and purpose than letting it waste away with the lotto company.

Whether it is for a huge opportunity or a little one, gamblers should try as much as possible to avoid the money-making mindset, if not, it will always cloud their judgment since there is no way they will be desperate about the money and also have their focus set towards it that it will not affect them in one way or the other. Gambling is to be enjoyed, and not the other way round, and even as the gambler is enjoying it with a neutral mind of getting money from it or not, they can still get the money indeed. But this time, they could get it harmlessly and peacefully, that's the difference.

But people get disappointed and stressed simply because their minds are too positioned on the money they want to get in gambling, this is desperation and I don't think it has ever landed any gambler into anything good except for frustration, addiction, depression among others which would surely happen to the gambler due to their lack of cautious gambling and for their irresponsible gambling.
458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 24, 2024, 07:51:58 PM
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.
The spread of gambling addiction among school and college boys and girls is like a curse for future generations. However, in all countries where gambling is legal, gambling is legal for students and they can participate in gambling within the permitted age. But in my country like in your country children are getting addicted to gambling at a young age and also students in school uniform are getting involved in the horrendous addiction to drugs, so they are heading towards a dark future and we cannot expect anything good from the next generation.
I would like to know your country if you don't mind because I am so confused about this and the laxity of your government and that of the older generations that should have frowned so much at that situation which is becoming alarming. As negligent and uncared as my country is, I hardly hear that younger ones are gambling, not to mention them being addicted to it, this is an abomination. Fine, there will always be some odd cases, but the situation should never be worse than 0.001% in a sane society and a bit higher in some insane society where people are still taking responsibility. The only issue in my country that I still believe people should frown at is when an adult sends the younger ones to bet on their behalf. They might write the betting options on a sheet of paper and send them to deliver it to the operator/agent in some physical casinos. Those agents will now input the options and issue the ticket to the young children for delivery.

This shouldn't be, as children of that age should have never been exposed to such a thing, and I wonder why they will not be corrupted by that because very soon, they will also want to test what they are being sent to do. In a sane society, such a thing should not have happened, and both the adult who sent them on such an errand and the operator are jailable for that crime. Had it been that the government is serious about it and the citizens are also cooperative in reporting such a situation, I am sure that it would have stopped. However, this is rampant in a local part of my country where they are popularly termed ghetto and not in a civilized environment.
459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Betting. Why the Distinction? on: May 24, 2024, 06:17:41 PM
The word gambling/gamble can be used in more wider perspective than just for the actual gambling while betting usually denotes some amount of money at stake. Google shows results from the Wikipedia it's just written by someone and can be edited by anyone so if you want to look out the meaning then both defines the same with slight differences and as long as you understand what it denotes there is no issue at al.
Don't jeopardize any opportunity that comes your way, because winning literally comes from unexpected projects and matches. Gambling and betting are the same thing, do not allow minor words to control one and leaving us in a confused office. There are more useful information in the space, we just have to spot out the necessary ones and ensure to make good use of them. We understand the basic information passed down to us and that will be the end for the day.
Lol...it baffled me how gullible some people could be, this is how they are using a little cajoling to confuse them which is not supposed to be so so long as they are adults. Gambling and betting are just the same things but different words because betting is a form of gambling, and vice versa. So if someone is now trying to believe he can reposition the narrative, then it is the person who is merely deceiving himself.

Irrespective of that, all that is good towards gambling/betting is for the person to fully understand the context so that he can play them well, have fun or gamble for the money moderately/reasonably and get satisfied and not be irresponsible towards it. Having a different feeling/description just because of the name is not going to take anyone anywhere, that is just the truth, except for how we handle gambling individually.

Casino Gambling involves Playing games that are base on luck factor and sometimes our skills also work out in this, it does not involve live event.

Sport Betting simply means, playing on live matches which involves you and a particular player or team against each other.
I don't think there is much to say here other than the two are fairer than each other. If you are betting casino games, be sure that the house has an advantage over you since they own and operate the algorithms you are playing against. They can in some cases increase or decrease the difficulties, that is why you will never be at that advantage against them but rely on luck no matter how good you are at playing it.

But for sports betting, the house is risking just like you as you are betting what is not deniable anywhere in the world. The results of matches and the events that happened during those matches are always the same all over the world because everyone is seeing them at the same time and records will always be the same, which are accessible all over the internet. So the house will not be able to manipulate anything here but will have to continue to take the risk against your side of the bet.

If you are good, they get to face the brunt as you continue to earn from their pocket. But if you are a loser, they get to pocket your money, it's as simple as that and nothing is fairer than this.
