It wouldn't call this a high risk, because you were risking 150 Naira and that's $0.12 US dollars, but this was a high multiplier, you get close to x100 on that bet, and is really hard to do that in sports bets, so congrats for your win.
This is a small amount of money and it is not a risky bet at all because one mackerel fish in naira in Nigeria will cost you at least over 1200 naira. If you divide the fish into 8 of equal size, that is 150 naira each. One slice of the fish will be very small and will be eating by who is not having enough money. That makes it not to be a risky bet. Congratulations to OP. I just use that as an example to know what 150 naira can purchase in Nigeria and how you can give the money to someone and the person will not appreciate it because it is very small.

Sorry about this. Get a new job so you will be able to get yourself another admission. Or better to look for other places to get the loan.

You registered your account today and asking for helping without any contribution on this forum. Okay let us say you are borrowing the money, no one will want to borrow you because you have no means to pay it. I am talking about guarantee means that you will pay the money, like if you are earning some money from something like signature campaign on this forum.
543  Bitcoin / Electrum / Re: What is best way to maintain your privacy sending payment with Electrum wallet? on: February 05, 2024, 06:32:24 PM
The best way is by connecting to your own node, no doubt. The second best, is by using Tails. It comes with Electrum pre-installed and does not allow you to sync without going through the Tor network. However, note that by doing that, all of your addresses can be linked from the Electrum server that you use to request information.
Using your own node is the only way that I know. But if you can not use your own node is when you can look for anonymity with those light client wallets.

You do not necessary need to use Tails while using Electrum. If you enable the proxy, Electrum will not synchronize if you are using Internet service provider network because it will only work with Tor even on mobile Electrum.

Appreciate the insight. I understand the position and the member is aware of this thread. If negotiations become serious and fruitful then there should be no issue with me getting a vouch from him. I believe he will be getting me into a few threads on here in the next short while anyways.
You registered your account today on Bitcointalk and thinking that you can seek for a loan and be borrowed? No sensible person can borrow you any money because if you do not pay back the money, you have nothing to lose than you scammed the person that borrowed you the money. Do not also expect any reputable account on this forum to vouch for you because they become reputable not to be stupid and foolish.
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another Two Category Of Gamblers That We Are Not Aware Of on: February 05, 2024, 08:05:42 AM
Based on that description, action gamblers are energetic and yet they have low self-esteem? I think that contradicts the entire description of it when they're action gamblers, energetic and yet they have this problem of having low self-esteem.
Some characteristics of low self-esteem are:

Quote
thinking that other people are better than you, thinking that you do not deserve to have fun, blaming yourself when things go wrong, focusing on your negatives and ignoring your achievements, joking about yourself in a negative way, saying something negative and critical about yourself.

I do not think if someone do not have some of these characteristics, that the person will be energetic. You are right.

What OP posted are just something not to consider.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: February 05, 2024, 07:51:42 AM
It's a good thing that you realize your mistake and want to immediately change your habit, because from what I see is that you tend to gamble uncontrollably and without a plan, this will make your gambling sooner or later disrupt your finances. And it's a good idea for you to manage your bankroll and only gamble the money you have previously allocated. For your winnings, you can save some of it and don't need to gamble it all away, because you will need it later.
It would be good if lombok reads this because you are saying exactly what is right. If you are gambling and winning and using all the money won and your bankroll to gamble all at once again and repeatedly, you can not all the time be lucky and the day that you thought you have been winning would ended in losses and feeling of unhappy. A gambler that is going like this will ended up using all his money to always gamble. So I will say that he might have financial challenges already. If he does not stop, it may not end well. @lombok, please stop this habit. It will not favour you than do you something bad in life.
547  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betting without losing your money/no need for deposit on: February 05, 2024, 07:46:37 AM
Faucets are pretty useless these days which is why I am surprised to see op trying to lure people in through one.

Initially, I felt that he was advertising ridiculous stuff since you cannot bet without losing money in the long-term, but his reasoning made sense thanks to faucet usage which is still useless though for most gamblers. Pointless!
OP is funny and trying to use sweet words to make people to gamble on that gambling site. But it would have been better to come out real than using fake words to do that. Faucets are truly waste of time and people that registered on the site will later prefer to just fund the betting account with money and start gambling. OP also said gambling without losing, which is just not true because faucets are useless. If you check the site, the reward may not be more than $0.0001 per hour.
548  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Please I need guid to set-up Electron wallet on: February 04, 2024, 12:22:02 PM
I think I used the standard wallet but yet it's not connecting. To the server.
Try changing the server by tapping on the red dot and then tap networks. At the bottom left side, you can see "server settings" then tap it and then see if it's set on "select server automatically" so you should uncheck the box and then choose a server before you tap "OK". Try doing that and see if it works but if it won't work then maybe it's on your internet connection. I tried changing servers in mine and it doesn't have any problem connecting to the network even the select server automatically setting.
It should leave it in automatic. It should work. That is not the problem. Beside the Server setting is the proxy settings, if enabled and not using proxy or Tor for connection, he should disable it.

If the connect to server is checked and proxy is unchecked, it should work unless his Internet connection is not good.

To know if it is working, he should click on the red ball to see if it synchronize or not.

After downloading and activating the seed phrase this is how it look like.
That red ball at the right side up should turn green or blue to know that the wallet has connected to the Internet with no synching issue. Red means it has not synced.

Standard wallet is okay to choose but if you want to have more security then you can choose wallet with two-factor authentication which you will have to make back up not just the secret phrase but also the secret code which you will have to add in an authenticator app.
Here's a thread about authenticator app https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192978.0. Before you do, did you download the electrum in the official website which is provided in the post above mine. Much more security is the multi-signature wallet but it requires more than one private key to perform certain task compared to 2FA wallet and standard wallet. For now, use the standard wallet and make a back up of recovery phrase which will be used to access the wallet before using the other option once you fully understand how it works. Tap the wallet name and then tap "Addresses" then it will display different addresses. Good luck.
2FA wallet on Electrum has better security but the 2FA wallet is also multisig. It is 2of3 multisig. The 2FA wallet has additional fee which OP may not like https://trustedcoin.com/#/faq#fees

I prefer multisig wallet or cold wallet with passphrase for additional security.

Is it Electrum wallet? Use this video guide https://youtu.be/rOlO2-PKxDE?si=uW3yNE8jS6d3BMqB

If you do not want to select server manually and also use Tor, you do not need to select advanced network settings, but if you want to use any of the two, select advanced network settings.

The wallet that you should go for if it is a normal wallet is standard wallet.

Yes, click on standard wallet.


Download it from https://electrum.org/#download. It is not Electron. Do not download a fake one.

Stop wasting your time, this forum is not a place for you. Look for other places that you can be able to borrow loan. On this forum, no one can borrow you anything.

You will only get your account more red trust if you continue this scam attempt behavior.
552  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: VanEck, GrayScale, Fidelity and others Now on Google Ads. on: February 02, 2024, 08:53:05 PM
Google has started this bitcoin ETF ads since 28th of January or so because I saw it on the news a day before that Google will allow the ads on 28th of January. This can be a way for people to know more about bitcoin, but we should know that bitcoin ETF is not a way to buy bitcoin. If you want to buy bitcoin, you have to buy it on an exchange and sent it to your noncustodial wallet. But I understand what you are saying, that BlackRock and others that are providing bitcoin ETFs will make more people to know about bitcoin and more people will buy, that will make bitcoin price to increase after long time period of time. You are not wrong, we are expecting bull run that would be very massive for the next two years.

Finally Nigeria have make it to the next stage, am really happy to see this wonderful achievement, Nigeria winning Angola was not a surprise to me because Nigeria are stronger than Angola and again Angola are distracted with the gift and promises, if really they allowed them to play with out making all such of noises at least they can perform better than this, I knew they will say they are motivating them which is good one but what if the opponent are stronger then you are forcing them to die, those promiser were thinking they want to motivate them but not knowing that they are pushing them to their easily grave, No matter what Angola can't win Nigeria with their current squad against Nigeria squad, I really salute the coach for trying his efforts to bring out best in them.
Do not underrate Angola like Nigeria just got to the match to easily win. It was not an easy win and Angola really tried and they tried their best but the day just did not favour the country team in the match. Nigeria got 3 shots on goal while Angola got 4 and a shot touch the pole and remain little to score. But nigeria also tried and worth to win. It even supposed to be 2 goals but Victor James Osimhen goal was offside and later not counted, but Nigeria still won. It was an interesting match and congrats to Nigerians.
554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you invest on this kind of offer? on: February 02, 2024, 08:13:26 PM
This correct interpretation.
Alright then. I personally would not be interested in this sort of arrangements. I consider gambling to be fun and not an investment and anyone who is interested in being sponsored to gamble takes it a little too seriously.

Some others may be interested, if there is a clear indication that they bear no risk, this can be done through using an escrow, but that will still require you to move the bitcoins you did not want to move in the first place. If you can provide that assurance, you may find willing players.
I will not also involve myself in something like this. If it is gambling, their is definitely risks involved which may later not favour the investors. The topic link that OP put in the opening post is talking about gambling sites bankroll which is about someone to invest on gambling site bankroll just like investing on a gambling site. If gamblers are losing, the investors are gaining. And we know that gamblers are losing than they are gaining. That makes that kind of investment to be good, unlike this one.
555  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you invest on this kind of offer? on: February 02, 2024, 12:35:23 PM
There aren't many casinos that do it anymore... Most casinos I knew, shut their operations down in the past. The only one that comes very close is freebitco.in but they give you flat 4% compounding annual interest instead of sharing the casino profits. That is still quite nice and freebitcoin has been around nearly a decade so they are as trustworthy as a business can get. As far as I know there is no other way to make 4% or more for your btc in a passive way. You can get more than 10% passive annual return on your USDT at binance but that's a FIAT investment.
I will prefer to leave my coin on a self custody wallet that I know I have my control than to invest my coin on a centralized platform that can go away with my money. The way bitcoin will increase, it can give me the 4% interest in just a small amount of time. There is not going to be anything better than hold than to invest in this type of investment.
556  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for February on: February 02, 2024, 12:26:47 PM
Thankfully, all that I see on the chart now supports this claim, the bullish price action is seen on the daily chart and weekly chart, while the monthly chart shows a continued bullish launch, which are all signalling to a bullish bias. As it is, the FOMO might soon return to the market as the FUD is subsiding, so I am so much positive about Bitcoin this month, and who knows, it could hit $50,000 before the end of the month.
All that I am seeing on the daily chart is that the market could fall or rise. If it rise it is not going to be more than $45000. If it goes more than than do not expect it to go above $46000. On the monthly chart the market looks like it can fall more but that could be what will not happen. If bitcoin will rise in February it will not rise more than $46000 if it struggles to go above $45000. Bitcoin to go above $50000 can happen but not in February.
557  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Proverbs and Sayings that Act as Triggers to Gambling on: February 01, 2024, 02:30:23 PM
-snip-
What other proverbs or sayings could potentially act as triggers, enticing individuals to initiate or perpetuate their gambling activities?
Your story is funny, so without gambling, they can't know their luck gauge? That is unthinkable to me. I am sure that they will be disappointed if the most fortunate person among them is the most unlucky in gambling. What they are trying to get doesn't just correlate to gambling or how to know the luck fate of a person, they should rather focus on what is important and shun a myth like this.
If someone see this proverb and went to a gambling site or land based casino to gamble, the person will realize what gambling is. This proverb might make the gamblers think they can hit the number and win huge but noticing that they are gambling and losing more  Grin. The proverb would have been complete if using small amount of money to gamble is included. Also including just an amount that you can afford losing. Gambling should not be what should be done risking your money on because it is a tempting foolishness. Just use small amount of money and have the fun. Someone that will follow this proverb may become poor from rich.

Taking risk is the thing, everything in life requires you to take risk before getting the big bag.It is only risk takers that are successful,while those who are afraid to take risk should be ready to live the life of the unsuccessful.
Taking risk in some spect of life is stupidity, example is in gambling. Taking risk in gambling is stupidity. Let me say I have $1000 income every week, I can use 1% to gamble which is $10 and I will keep $990. Am I taking risk? No. Why? Because I can afford to lose $10 from the $1000 that I have. That is how gambling should be.
Bro, you are wrong. You are using a different school of thought which doesn't relate at all with this subject matter. A risk is a risk, whether big or small, or whether you can afford to lose it or not. So long as it is not what you are certain about that you are betting for, you are taking a risk, my brother. Affordability doesn't eliminate risk, you are only reasonable, calculative and managerial in that regard of limiting the risk, which is also what is advised for those who want to be a responsible gambler.
No, you are the one that is absolutely wrong. If I earn $1000 and use $10 to gamble, that is not risk. This is an amount of money that I can give someone and forget that I gave it to someone. That is not risk but I just want to have fun. That is just 1% of the amount that I am earning. If you are talking about risk, you should talk about something that is importantly earning you money, like the risk you take to earn money from your business, or the risk you take to invest on an bitcoin and other commodities. If you are not planing to earn from something and using such low amount of money to enjoy yourself to have fun, that is not risk. Know that this is a gambling section, why are people talking about risk in gambling? That is bad and nearly all people that are looking for money through gambling lose more than win.
