521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: May 11, 2024, 07:36:40 PM
Since financially they are not equal, an amount that looks huge for a poor man doesn't worth a thing in the hands of a rich person, that little money could worth a lot to the poor but maybe a token to the rich, so it actually depends according to financial abilities but in more case the rich are able to take on the risk better than a poor person since they don't depend on any financial aid from the gambling source but the poor would eagerly seek profit from every gambling he gets involved into, every penny used is worth for a poor person.

that's correct, a huge amount for the poor could be a little change for the rich. Hence the rich risk more. The questions of who should risk more is dependent on their personality, based on their level of exposure and mindset we have some rich and poor folks who gamble based on their financial activities or their pre aim of gambling. Those who gamble for fun are likely to spend less in gambling while to those who gamble to make extra money might be risking more to make sure this dream come true for them
522  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Double your money and quite on: May 11, 2024, 07:27:50 PM
When you make gamble a source of income, the thoughts like this would begin to flood you mind. What is the need to double your money and when if not that you'll be putting it all in one stake. We are unable to tell the future accurately or even boost that we know what's gonna happen the next second or minute, and that why taking such risk is uncalled for. I have heard of some persons who used their salary after their monthly pay to try gambling, and unfortunately for them, the 2odds which would have doubled it went sideways, and all they would have taken home for the month,  but they choose to listen to the tricky advice of gambling
523  Other / Off-topic / Re: How much of my salary should I use to gamble on: May 11, 2024, 07:15:21 PM
Most persons started off with gambling for fun and after which they have kept a continuous relationship with gamble, they end up becoming addicted. Asking how much of your salary is to be used for gambling is a bit suspicious, and it could mean you have already started using more than you are supposed to use. As gamblers, when you don't understand the function of gambling and you take it as a means of making money, you'll definitely end up spending more than you ought to spend from you salary into gambling.
524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the main points of gambling? on: May 10, 2024, 10:27:08 PM

Greed and irresponsible gambling is a powerful facility that destroys the inner peace of most gamblers and push them to face mistakes, regrets, financial and mental loss.

Well, greed, greed, have always been the Defects that human beings have by nature, it is something that is sometimes difficult to see and people believe that they are doing it Well , and that is not the case, we as responsible people We must always do all things but being careful not to get carried away, because this is undoubtedly one of the most Common mistakes in all people , we are human , we make mistakes, but we must learn Things as they are and how we should do them so that we can control ourselves. Sometimes it is not just About controlling money or emotions but those Types of Feelings , everything that involves winning is something that adds up, but you have to know how to Win.

Sometimes the excitement of the wins make you lose again and that's because their is no focus on what you are doing. I have seen gamblers getting carried away by some of their wins and at the long run of everything still get stuck Back at the stage of zero, a typical example would be the fella being talked about in the bc.game Ann thread, I mean that is so fucking crazy that he makes he wins turn out negatively for him instead of positive vibes .
525  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When is it right to invest in Bitcoin? on: May 10, 2024, 10:03:25 PM
Investing in bitcoin is not something you can just start doing, proper knowledge and planning is needed. Knowing that it is best invested as a short term for beginners like me and long term for experience investors so as to make profit. As an investor, one need to have other means of earnings in other not to stagger when unforeseen occurrences comes like in the bear market(period when bitcoin price falls). Knowing all of these, my questions are:
-When is it the right time to invest in bitcon?
-How can one start planning?
-How do you follow up your bitcoin investment and other businesses?
-What are the assurance that you are ready?


I would say do your own research, moreover you here in one of the most active and lucrative forum when it's comes to Bitcoin. But if am to tell you from my own side then I think even now is a good time to buy because we are expecting a massive bull run upfront although I would advise to keep a steady pace that's if you intend to hold for long, just buy Bitcoin using the most popular strategy which is the DCA STRATEGY.
526  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Reason why crypto network dust traditional banks on: May 10, 2024, 09:44:56 PM
Everyone operating in a decentralized system does not require any intermediaries from the government or banking system to function and I think that's the edge it has over the centralized system.

Aside that, you omitted one of the major importance of crypto currency, that fact that there currencies are volatile is a good distinct quality. Traditional fiat bank is bound to experience inflation where by its value drops, just like what our currently is experiencing right now. But in coin like Bitcoin, the movement can be predicted and almost accurate. Bitcoin has more quality than the traditional fiat currency. The importance of the traditional fiat currency should not be over emphasized especially when in comparison with crypto.

Their is no doubt about non custodial wallet as the best wallet to invest bitcoin for long-term but their are lots of responsibilities that that is required to use a non custodial wallet.  I think it is a wallet designed for specific kind of people that are willing to take responsibilities. The wallet won't be suitable for those that are not ready to be discipline and to learn to have understanding of wallet management. 
Using non custodial wallet you are your own customer support, it is expected that users are to resolve issues by themselves and this will be problem for one that is not ready to learn and understand how this wallet works.
Users must take their own security measures that can be susceptible to mistakes and attacks.  I must say non custodial wallet is a good one but one must be ready to take responsibilities privacy, wallet security,  protection against fraud.

This is one of the most interesting features on using a non custodian wallet. The fact that you are your own bank and and customer service when even you encounter any issue. One of the reason a Ike a noncustodial wallet is that, it's difficult for someone to run into any problem without resolving it your self easily. All you need is to get few basic knowledge and you are good to good, unlike traditional banks that you could be delayed for only trying to upgrade your account transactions limit. Aside mempool congestion that increases the transaction in all transactions, the non custodian wallet is far better than a traditional fiat bank, all it takes is your security consciousness to safe keep you seed phrase properly.
528  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: May 10, 2024, 09:11:50 PM
Firstly I think that younger ones Gambling is very wrong. The age restriction for Gambling is more like a safe guard to prevent unnecessary and irresponsible Gambling habits of an individual and hence the Gambling restriction of 18+. A lot of teenagers are not able to make proper decisions for themselves hence if they are given the opportunity to gamble they will end up abusing it and even harming themselves. One common issue is that in some countries they are unable to properly enforce the 18+ Gambling rule hence alot of these teenagers in such countries are able to do such things illegally.

It's worse than you think. Those kids are not gonna quit even if someone talks to them about the damage it's doing to them  since they were already exposed to it earlier. It'd be hard to break off such habit now if they're already doing it with their uniforms on? That's really wild. They now have their balls deep in gambling. Whatever you learn in your teen days, is gonna stick with you in life for sure. That's why I fear for those kids especially if they randomly win, the dopamine hit will push them to bet more.

I bet that there are still some smart kids amongst them who would discover the dangers and threats gambling pose to their finance, even without anyone telling or advising them. It's improper for a kid to gamble under the restricted approve age by the government and the gamble itself,  it lets not assume all the kid who would gamble under the he age are dumb enough not know what they are getting themselves into. Though their minds are not yet mature enough to make good informed decision, but let's not forget that they are becoming smarter than what we use to be at our team age.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: May 10, 2024, 08:43:50 PM
as long as the person is okay with losing money while gambling in an emotional state, I think that's right. but as far as I know, most gamblers are not just a hobby. They think gambling is a place to get rich quickly or just multiply the money they have.
That is why, as a gambler, you must be able to control your emotions so that you don't lose too much when playing. that way they won't be frustrated because of their defeat.

The mentality of getting rich from gambling is one of the driving thoughts that get someone absolutely prepared of getting into addiction. Most addicted gamblers started off this way and after losing enough before so e of them come to realise that gamble is not a way of getting rich really quick. It quite unfortunate how some gambler keep trying over and over again only because they think their appointed time of hitting the jackpot is close. They often end up in regrets after they must have spent so much that cannot be replaced any longer. Gamble has a way of tricking you, and one is , by letting you get really close to wining  a big bet while a single selection might be the odd one amongst all the sle toons you made so far.
530  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout or wait till the end? on: May 10, 2024, 08:24:46 PM
The reason why people gamble is because they want money. Take money out of gambling and see what will remain, in fact no body will want to gamble again. The truth of the whole thing is that gambling is based on money.  Cash out and making an actually win you will prefer to lose than see something like that happen. I hardly cash out during any game because I feel if I lose I lose instead of cashing out. For does reason you gave that is why I don’t like cashing out. And even if I don’t win my mind would be made up and I won’t bother much because I know my fate already there are people that they enjoy cashing out we all have our individual differences, so anyone choice. To me it’s not relevant.



Yeah it's true majority of gamblers gamble because they want to make money, but I quite disagree with the fact that without money in gambling people won't play the games just got fun without any stake. Take for instance the poker game, it was originally a family game were member of a family would seat down to play and have some fun together, also the dice game would still be enjoyed even without gambling. However gambling only make the game to be more fun and serious especially when your money is at stake here. Then talking about the casino games, usually their are some online and offline games we play for fun sake and if we could do that their is a high tendency that some person would still play those casino games without stake, the pool is a greater example.
531  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: AltCoins hypes re similar to politicians promises during campaigns on: May 09, 2024, 09:29:20 PM
AltCoins are like the media being hijacked by the by the government.
They acts like the politicians with their unfulfill able promises during campaigns. They just go about spreading what the people needed to hear because they knows the truth would always be bittered and discouraging.
Omo Op your comparison weak me but no be lie e con be like say altcoin promises con pass politicians promises.Altcoins na crypto wey de hype dey motivate investors wey no know where their stand.As i join dis forum I dey hear altcoins mata so I see no reason investing on altcoins wey Bitcoin dey.The truth of de mata be say altcoins go always make their promises look so real to be called scam.Ponzi scheme dey real,normally some people wan learn from experience which na the best teacher,dem say if something neva do you,you no go know,as our senior rank members dey yan altcoins mata anybody wey wan invest on altcoins fit learn from experience.
Sometimes no be the altcoins sef be ma problem na the way many people wey no even sabi anything about cryptocurrency go dey promote some worthless altcoins project just because the bull market is here and even the exchanges sef sometimes dey also add this sudden hype because the amount of new projects being launch everyday this period sef go make these people dey think and get believe say altcoins nai be the main Koko but then say na until you taste  am you no go no how e dey feel.

If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do?
Well I feel like quoting only the topic because it's a very important question. However, many gamblers feels sad when they lose money on bets because they can't afford to lose what they gambled. And some gambler doesn't feel bad when they lose their bets because they gamble wisely.
There is no doubt that the after results to Gambling is always heart breaking that's if you are on the losing side but when its the latter the case is also different. But the truth is that only some gamblers suffer from this as you have stated clearly and those set of persons are the crazy gamblers that tend to put their hopes on gambling to give profits on their every try but the one thing most gamblers forget is that this gambling of a thing especially the casino is a business and you can't expect the business owner to lose so that's why losing is a fixed thing in gambling it's boils down to how well you are able to cope with it.

Please guys show me love via merit eeh
Read what established members are posting, check their topics. Use this time to learn more than to be looking for merits. If you continue like this with low quality posts, you will not rank up.
He has already started the forum with wrong mentality and it would be very hard for him to meet up with the standards of his post to be merit deserving except he works extremely hard by reading and educating himself. The forum is a place that appreciate people works by meriting their posts and replies so I would just advice you not to be this merit bound and think of educating yourself more first.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Using A Journal, Spreadsheets Will Fave The Way For Addiction To Gambling? on: May 09, 2024, 09:16:51 PM

Does anyone here have their own journal or spreadsheets, and are you taking gambling seriously?
No I don't have a journal or a spreadsheet period for me gambling is all about entertainment and having fun period anything more than this is getting addicted and needs to be nipped in the bud. The only time I can think about having a spreadsheet for gambling is to record my budget and how much I spent on gambling per month and have a total of it and the end of every year. I consider this part of my personal finances plan.
Am even shocked hearing this that some person actually do have or keep records of their gambling games because I don't know of such thing, for me it's all for the moment with my gambling habits. Although when the loses do get to me, I sometimes do a little calculation in my head just to get the figures straight.😁😁
535  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥🔥🔥 BC.GAME - CASINO AND SPORTSBOOK | $1,000 GIVEAWAY LIVE! 🔥🔥🔥 on: May 09, 2024, 09:13:23 PM
That's some crazy amount of cash you keep mentioning there, am just curious to know if he is up and dealing with such cash flow in his gambling wouldn't that kinda make him addicted quickly or is he just doing ads for bc.game, please share some insight because am a bit confuse with all the huge calls of heavy funds.

Dude is already an addict - Imagine telling your parents that you’ve just won $75k and then going back to them to tell them that you’ve lost it again, that shit is crazy. And the funny thing is that he also withdrew the money to his non-custodial wallet before he went back to loss everything.

The fact that he was bold enough to roll $4000 in a single go says so much about him - dude was no longer thinking during the first phase when he was winning, he just kept switching from 1k to 4k as if he was wagering $5.
That's too bad because I was also shocked at seeing that he lost such money after he had grown it from scratch I mean it's just so annoying and I just can't imagining myself being in the shoes of this fellow because $75k isn't any small money although I know there are some gamblers that waste that kind of funds just for the sake of having fun while gambling but this his case I think it's very different.

Person wey sell em Bitcoin now Na loose guard oo, the market still dey a bit tricky. And you wey sell now fit end up to dey at serious loss, because the hype towards this year bull for after the halving Na something else, and that alone fit cause FOMO to make many investors enter into the buy wey go make the pump start early. It has already been estimated that the price of Bitcoin after the halving go touch the range of $100k-$150k and that Na more than x2 wey many investors no go like miss. Some person sef get the mind to hold for long but when social media influencer don start to dey put pepper for the matter e go come make some of them dey sell, meanwhile dem no go return back everything when the price dip. This period an time wey things hard, and anything wey go make you sell your Bitcoin, you fit no put all back again because of one problem or the other.

537  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Which country is wiser? on: May 08, 2024, 10:03:37 PM
Nigeria or India?

Nigerian government blocked all exchanges website, went after Binance naira P2P, but left mobile app of the exchanges to be accessible. Binance officials came to Nigeria but they defend them. One escaped but they still want to make Binance pay fine.

India blocked the exchange websites. Later told Google and Apple to remove the exchanges from their app store. They have no one to arrest. Kucoin or so (please correct me if wrong) was given license. Recently Binance dialogued with them and wanted or maybe has paid 2 million fine.

Finance and many other exchanges can not afford to leave Nigeria also. According to Chainanalysis, Nigeria emerged as the number one in 2 trading all over the world and we adopt cryptocurrencies generally.

We are in 2024. There are ways to handle some cases without detention and lawsuit.
Till date am still suprised to how Nigeria is actually handling the whole chain of events because they are other approach they would have taken that would have even yielded good results rather than going for the means they took. In a case like this I feel India is definitely the smarter one Nigeria because they had the open sight to understand the benefits that comes if there just follow the right path.
538  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Why do they always attack the newbies? on: May 08, 2024, 09:27:13 PM
We all started from the scratch and we're all here to learn, but their are some people that sees newbies as a disturbance to forum. I started like a newbie infact we all started like a newbie and gradually we all grow to the rank we're now. So I'll advise to those people seeing the newbies as if they're here to harm others please we're here to learn more about cryptocurrency, we all have a target on here.

Op I understand your point and it's obvious here In this forum how most newbies are treated, but that is because most newbies are just obviously chasing after merits hence most of their posts are just Hypocritically obvious. Trying to act as a pro or an island of knowledge when you are just spamming the forum is quite annoying, and that's one rules that shouldn't be joked with, as it has lead so many accounts to ban or tags. As a newbie your primary purpose is to learn before making contribution, but most newbies make the mistake of skipping the learning part and just go straight to hunting merits, which is absolutely wrong.
539  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: May 08, 2024, 09:15:37 PM
Well it may not be so easy to help beginners,The only thing I could advise is to guide them and tell them the truth about gambling because everybody have their different grace and intention on gambling have their opinions advice to let them whatever that comes out. That is what it is for them default challenges different times of strategies. They are going to win. They should be the best  option for them, yes, it is good to help advice and guide. What are the same time that is what make them stronger and complain to decide if they should contain gambling or not so they will not end up, living another man faith in gambling.

Advising the person before they even get Into gambling would be the best idea or way to helping them escape addiction. Most gambler get into gambling based on the result their friends or relatives get from gambling and that to an ordinary person might think motivation is the key way of succeeding or even trying to make millions over of their bets. Though it's possible as such scenarios have occurred before but that was luck speaking, and not everyone has that same luck. And one thing I've observed from gambling is, the way it tricks newbies by making them have some couple of wins at their initial stage of gambling.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: May 08, 2024, 08:59:11 PM
I don't live my life to try to impress any one, so fuck anyone who tries to say shit behind my back, I don't fucking care. Besides they are not the one paying my bills. In this life, I've come a findings that when you keep living to someone elses expectations, you might even end up forsaking your purpose while helping them fulfil theirs. It's quite unfortunate how some persons are just Hippocrates, trying to cover up with the image of good friend and yet they are the back stabbers praying for your downfall. I'm not after making myself wealthy over night of gambling and that why I don't gamble irresponsible or even getting addicted along the journey.
