I seen this video upon scrolling in the youtube short videos like reels, seems us have different perspectives on this, could be why he keeps gambling even in the precious time of his daughter, and for some of us it is part of his leisure or earning playing gambling so just finish the set of the game is enough after. As long as he keeps as part of the role as being a man of the house i guess still he's in a good part. But also its better if we know our limitation until when is playing gambling even the previous days.

Knowing your limits is everything when it comes to Gambling and that's what causes issues for some gamblers because they fail to know their limit and this applies to even the so called rich guys because if you haven't got the control button then you really have gotten yourself into some major problem because you might end up losing alot even when he classify yourself as a rich fellow, the difference is that your stakes being a rich guy will be very big compared to an ordinary gambling but on the level check it's probably still same thing.

My achievement from gambling isn't really big or remarkable, I only manage to buy some necessary things before for myself (eye glass, mobile phone, and other personal things).
But other than material things I also learn some lesson from gambling base on personal experience.
I learn to manage my funds and be contented even with small profits.


Very good step, friend, you can control your money when you want to gamble and you are also ready and accept small returns. That way, you have carried out the correct behavior in gambling and don't feel greedy when it comes to gambling wins. It can also be said that you prevent addictive behavior and minimize the loss of quite a lot of money.
If there is one positive thing that gambling would teach you, it's definitely knowing how to maintain the little and be content at some level with what you have. Gambling has taught me from my experience the ability to control myself because sometimes you get really stuck with what you want to do that it gets really confusing to actually know if you want to continue or not but if you have master the act of patience then you would understand that its way better to cool off when experiencing loses than to continue gambling.

Well, I don't know what it's like to be raised in some other countries, but I think that now things are very similar in terms of childcare. I know that in Europe children are super valuable, just like in the USA, they are actually the future. So I know that when parents do something wrong, like keeping an eye on them, not supervising them, they risk even losing them and handing the children over to the government, so this is something very delicate, I believe that parents should not allow their children to be looking for something else on the internet, if you see that they are in casinos then it is a very serious offense, in fact where I live, that is also punishable by law, because such cases can be very decisive with them, they can cause psychological damage and that It is very delicate.
Because the risk of losing their children makes parents must always supervising their children. Many children lost their lives because of parents lacks to supervise them, especially if their children can't stay close to their parents and choose to lived or socialize with their friends. They can't gets the right information from their parents because their children believe their friends and not their parents. It's a wrong if their children lost their belief to their parents and follows what their friends said because that can makes them in a wrong way. Parents must introspect what's going on with them and their children so they can start to fixed what's needed. If their children can follow what their parents suggestion, they will not chooses the wrong way because their parents will always besides them.
Training a child or children is not an easy task, sometimes what you have planned installed for them is not actually what they will go with. I have seen children still get spoiled with their mentality or their moral upbringing. Children are complex and open minded at some certain stage in their life and also wanting a little bit of influence by their peer is always done by most of these keys so even being introvert doesn't help you because the children can turn out differently from what they feel is right on their own part.

Why person go panic? If anyone go panic sef na for people wey no actually know what's up about the market because if you dey well aclined about the volatility of the crypto space then all this panic no go really affect you. Some persons dey call am the perfect and wonderful to buy more bitcoin because the dips is best and when you buy for the dip you get a large portion of Bitcoin than when the price is high.

I think most of the athletes have their not so dark secret in terms of gambling. When they're still a dreamer and wanting to give the best life for their family, they're able to achieve that by being a star or by just simply signing a contract.

Now after that comes the harder part and that's about how they can contain and control themselves not to be spendthrift with their money. Because when you have the money, everything is accessible and easy to do.

We've got athletes, celebrities and even a commoner becomes addicted so, it's not surprising to see such news about one has seen gambling on some random videos.
As human he ought to have been doing this wey long before he even became a superstar and that's the truth because many people that are actually celebrities now have been living a normal life and the only way maybe they could keep their habits content, sometimes its due to the facts that the available funds was not all that available but it becomes a different story when everything you can think of is at the tip of yours, that time what you do is use the money to gamble and called it having fun.
487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: April 14, 2024, 08:50:12 PM
Getting a good night of sleep and not being tired when handling important tasks is underrated. I learned early on in life how important sleep could be just playing video games. Sometimes late at night as a kid I would struggle with a certain part of a game for hours, only to fall asleep and beat it first thing in the morning. That was enough to convince me to take sleep seriously in life.
Very correct sir, the importance of sleep is greatly overlooked by many but its effectiveness can definitely not be ignored. Sometimes my remedies to curing a bad losing streak is just a good night sleep and the next day my head and thinking is straighten up and the results will definitely turn out differently. The thing is that the brain 🧠 always work better after a very good rest but many feel going on with what they do even when they are all stressed and fucked is actually the way just because they actually don't want to let the moment go.

In the year 2010,my best friend introduce me to cryptocurrency and he advice me to invest in bitcoin. I felt bitcoin was another ponzi scheme created by scammers to scam innocent people. Today my friend is a multi Millionaire. If only I had listened to his advice,I would have become a millionaire by now.
So since you got introduce by a friend to invest in Bitcoin in 2010 and you failed, what have you done since then? Have you invested or you are still procrastinating like before, because at times, I won't be surprised if you are still procrastinating simply because you are yet to be convinced about what Bitcoin holds for us in the near future, because what I expected to hear was how you missed investing in Bitcoin in 2010, but yet has been able to accumulate X amount of Bitcoin from the year you took action, because there isn't a single soul who wouldn't claim was introduced to Bitcoin earlier on and neglected simply because he/she thought it was a scam. However, who knows if you wouldn't have sold yours at a cheap rate just as Laszlo Hanyecz sold his for mere 2 pizzas long time ago?

don't be surprised that he is still having doubts about bitcoin or he has been on the mentality that its too late for him to buy and even after missing out on the many opportunities he might be deep on this same regretful feeling. what you should do now is to buckle up and speed up with your decision to actually start accumulating.

One thing is to make a mistake and one thing is correct it and make adjustments to avoid the mistakes from repeating itself.

The message originator doesn't sound like a business person to me because from the very start he shown low level knowledge of what he invested in and he may have also taken bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a get rich quick scheme and, this will affect him alot both in the cryptocurrency market and also in real life because no business person will invest $500 business money on bitcoin without making research of the risk that could come along that investment.
Thats why i said he must have gotten the investment through maybe some testimonials of one random dude talking about how easy it is to invest in bitcoin and how much profits he has made. Some persons just like you pointed out have come to the conclusion that bitcoin is actually a get rich scheme and nothing more which is the most wrong idea or thought anyone would when it comes to investment.
490  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Na Dollar Cause Am? on: April 13, 2024, 10:18:40 PM
The cost of materials for construction have tripled or minimum double,  take for example the price of building cement used to be between #4500 to #5000 back then but now the same cement is sold for #10,000 or even 15k in some places,  all this and many others contributed to why the cost of housing increased.

But where it becomes unfair is at the rate at which landlord's are adding to the cost of rent for old buildings,  this is where the exploitation comes in because why taking money for what you did not build new and don't make any renovation that could call for new materials to the building before increasing the price of rent on such houses.
Dollar dome come down well well and the things wey dem dey import from outside country  don come down but our local products e no dey gree come down and instead dem dey go up like tomorrow no dey again. Someone I buy on Thursday with #1500 now na #2500 and no be say na imported things oh but na local products. Now weti dey really happened na di government e no gree work or na our weakness dey cause all these nonsense? I no just understand Local Products with dollar. Dollar things wey make di local products go up e don come down again but do local products na now dem dey go up the more. Who go tell weti dey sup.

House wey landlord build since 1999, him sef don increase di price to a very higher price. Matter just tire me.
For me one of the things wey dey follow cause this slow reduction of price of things sef na the issue sef say Nigeria as a whole no really get this body of price regulation and control for the country and na why the cost of things dey go up anyhow anytime as if the country itself no really get government because I believe there ought to be some kind of body wey for dey in charge of regulating all these things.

A recently viral video shows football star Neymar playing online poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday with a group of other people present.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13299361/Neymar-online-poker-daughter-Al-Hilal.html

This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!
No one is above addiction and you could add drake the hip pop star to that list because he has known to be very crazy with his gambling habits and one may think that why would these mentioned persons even gamble in the first place because already they have all the money and one wouldn't even count this type of their gambling as act as fun gambling because some of the money they use in gambling is damn big even for a celebrity rich fellow.

Newbies who rush into crypto especially altcoins without understanding often rush out of crypto with a loss too.

WHEN YOU RUSH INTO CRYPTO INVESTMENT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING

This is a very cool meme 😎 bro, practically explains the concept of what the OP is trying to pass. Many people and of course newbies are either drawn to crypto investment maybe through some superb story they heard about an investor who made it big and decided to go into it without even making proper research to what they are getting involved in.
493  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: We Regret Voting Tinubu – Northern Elders on: April 13, 2024, 09:49:56 PM
The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has voiced regret over the region’s support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, signaling a shift in political alignment and strategy for future elections.
This is just the beginning,una Neva see something

https://www.naijanews.com/2024/04/09/we-regret-voting-tinubu-northern-elders/

Then they are all betrayal, were they not paid to have supported him, when we see the right candidate available, but because of money and influence, they choose the highest bidder that could satisfy their desires for money, now they have all gotten that money to buy items in the market in which the same money couldn't afford, i wish by now, people would have realized the reason why its not right to accept bribery during election period, instead we should let our votes counts and justice to prevail.
The electorate system is so fucked up that the normal people are on the mentality that they need to be paid before they vote anyone in as their choice and this has lead to so many wrong choices in the country because when you know the right thing to do and you still choose to the wrong thing you will definitely reap the results of that action so no elder or anyone should complain let's all seat back and enjoy the ride.

School no be scam because if you go school and you no get money,at least you dey different from who no go school in contributions and your way of life. No be compulsory say who go school don hammer,na the mistake wey we dey do be that. We think say if you don graduate the door of riches don open for you,my bro no be for Nigeria o. This na why all these yahoo boiz dey talk so because them don see so many graduates wey dey ride okada or dey do conductor. To make money determine on your commitment and seriousness to know that field wey you fit in to showcase skill or intelligent. If oil dey your head and God direct you to wetin him don set for you to take make am. Bros u go get money like stupid and you self go dey surprise. Unemployment na e dey mess our country up due to high rate of corrupt citizens.
The problem be say na the way the system dey designed for na dey casue am because dem don already tag am say na only school graduates na go make or don already make am. School na place wey people dey learn many things to help equip themselves for the battle ahead for the real world but the problem be say Nigeria don cage and many people wey go school as if them waist their time and money.
495  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: April 13, 2024, 09:36:50 PM
Easier to be said than done. But you know what, what you have said about how easy it is to have this self-control or anything about controlling one's emotion, it is not something you can easily do if you are really in that situation. That's more of the reason why we see a lot of people going out of the casino having a huge debt or completely zeroing their accounts due to being unable to control their emotions. It's one of the hardest things to do when it comes to gambling. Unless you are an experienced gambler who already has a realization and knows what needs to be done in that kind of situation.
Having a plan before gambling is indeed an easy thing for everyone who wants to bet to do and also they say they will be able to control themselves in the bets they place and I agree with you that this is indeed very easy for us to plan but it will be very difficult to do this. and many of those who have a plan before gambling will do it casually but when they are in the game they do it greedily so they lose in the bets they play and very few people can control themselves when gambling so they make the wrong decisions in the bets they play.
Some persons don't know how to control themselves and this is the reason why when they gamble they tend to lose control and go against their plans in which they have put in place from the onset. Many people have struggled to stick with the original plans they have when they gamble and sometimes its because of poor principles and decision making.
496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your take? on: April 12, 2024, 11:08:26 PM
Straight to the point most people are afraid of compiling big odds and now decide to go for lower odds with huge staking power which is not even guaranteed to give the predicted results. For example, there could be a match between Newcastle VS Tottenham Hotspur and both teams are having 1.5 and 1.3 odds respectively, a gambler may decide to bet only on Tottenham to straight win by only selecting this one game on his slip, what is your take on this kind of gambling, risking bigger money on some low odds with a small potential win and still the possibility of your pick to win is not even certain.

Actually, this is what makes sport betting amazing. There was a time I saw a bet slip online, the bettor staked a million naira, that's about $1300 on a single bet with 1.10 odd in favour of Barca to win but the underdog won and the gambler lost the bet.

We've a popular saying in my local language that if you want to eat a frog, go for the big ones so that if it kills you, atleast people would know you've a good taste. Sometimes, you'll be very certain that the favourite team is going to win but you'll get the shocker of your life. As a result of this, I prefer the going for the underdogs with big odds, I stake with small amount and even if I lose I won't feel it.

That's the mentality of gamblers that feel they are actually playing safe but they don't know that they are actually just playing right into the hands of the system because it's not making sense to lose your 1300$ over a minor odd of 1.10. for me I think since nothing is ever certain with gambling it's probably best to play games that will give me atleast huge amount so that if the game enters I  take  the profit and of it goes wrong I still take it as good fate because that particular thought is already in place before the Gambling session took place.
497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 12, 2024, 10:29:20 PM
Upon all those sources and explanation, I still need the community input on the argument to know if gambling is a HOBBY so that I and the person will understand more.
In my opinion not all gambling is a hobby, although if we ask people who like football they will answer that way. If gambling is considered a hobby, we should get pleasure from betting, but instead we will experience losses, thus gambling cannot be widely interpreted as a hobby. Talking about hobbies, it is clear that we get pleasure from the activities we do and is it possible that we can get pleasure when we experience losses in gambling.

I can't say that it's true because maybe different people have different points of view on how to assess gambling. But generally, hobbies are defined as steps to achieve inner and soul pleasure and so on.

Gambling is a good servant. It will give you whatever psychological satisfaction you would ever want. If you want to earn money on the side and hustle. Then treat it like a business. Every roll would be like a business transaction where you manage risk and expectations. If you just want enjoyment, make sure that you have unlimited cash to play with. As much as gambling practices serves you then it will do you good. However if the table turns and you as a player is the one now serving the casino, then it's a bad position to begin again with.

I think taking gambling as a business is really a bad idea because you might turn out losing the money you actually want to use, gambling isn't something that is certain and that's why people are advice to play for fun although our human nature doesn't allow us to see a potential place where we can get profits from and then use it for only fun means and thats why many gamblers have keen in the decision to take their gambling habits s a means of business but I don't see myself doing this because I know of the crazy possibilities that follows that action.
498  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: EFCC to arrest businesses that accept payment in dollar. on: April 12, 2024, 10:04:47 PM
Quote from: [url=https://punchng.com/hoteliers-school-owners-charging-in-dollars-risk-arrest-efcc/?amp
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has stated that hotels, schools, and other establishments that accept payments in dollars from their customers are at risk of facing arrest.

The Chairman, EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, said this in the agency’s publication called EFCC Alert on Monday, adding that action would be taken against individuals involved in the dollarisation of the economy.
According to him, the exception is if foreigners come in to transact business and the only means of transacting is their credit card and dollar but to charge local customers in dollars or other foreign currencies would no longer be allowed.
He said charging local activities and customers in dollars is against Nigeria’s constitution.

The Federal government dey serious for this fight to reduce the way people dey use dollar for we country. Them first face those mallam wey dey do Bureau de change. From there, Binance sef follow enter the wahala. All na to reduce to dollar to naira rate and e belike say the thing dey work because rate na 1100/$ for market as at today. If government fit handle this matter like this na be say them fit use this pattern follow businesses way dey accept crypto as payment. Already FG dey demand list of Nigerians way dey trade for Binance. Wetin you feel say them won use that information do?

Well I don't know what the federal government are doing but it seems whatever's strategy they arr taking it's seems to be paying off because the naira has risen against the dollar from 1900 to 1100 and if this continues it might likely appreciate more to even 800naira but my only problem is that how will they do with the cost of things that still remains the same or even tend to be more costly now because with the rate at which the naira has appreciated, we ought to see some drastic changes in the cost of things currently in the country.

Well there are thousands of possibilities that might have happen even if you have might have invested in Bitcoin because there is no certainty that you might have held on to the investment till now because you might have sold it or even freak out and tempered with your investment so you should rest alot of person have had this regret but what they are doing now is actually to correct the mistakes so you should probably stop whining and start hoarding.
500  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: You will lose more if you DCA without knowledge on: April 12, 2024, 09:26:05 PM
DCA can still be the worst for a newbies,  so I say newbies should stay away from DCA until they have the knowledge of the risk and approach to DCA.
I don't know how you have come up with this, but it is flat-out wrong, DCA is the best strategy for newbies and it helps to minimize the risk of trying to game the movement of market and also the risk of price volatility. There is no "special" knowledge needed to use DCA strategy and i cannot see any major risks for people who use it, i always advise newbies to use DCA strategy to purchase Bitcoin, instead of making lump sum purchases.

Well you could say maybe the Op is actually trying to relate to other thing or maybe he is actually confuse on what he means by saying that DCA can be worse for newbie because I see no sense in what he is trying to portray because even if a newbie fails to follow up with the DCA strategy, there is only the fact and point that his investment wont be achieved because he might maybe temper with the holdings and anybody that can temper with their holdings can still do same with every other method and that includes the lum sum too so basically the DCA is still the most preferred for any newbie to go about with any investment in Bitcoin.
