541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: February 19, 2024, 05:40:21 PM
There have been saying that before you win a game in gambling, you would have lost enough funds and that means you didn't win any new or extra money to yourself but the casino return part of your money which you have lost before to you. And some will still say that what about those who have not playing gamble before and they won in their first day in gambling. Well those people newly converts to the gambling system will still dash the casino company that win again because the first time win is always to lure them to the system and making them to perpetual adoration to gamble. And I don't think someone in the gambling industry has as a win win gambling history. Or you wins are bigger than the loss. And all the experiences I have in gambling I have not seen that and also those of my friends who are gamblers have not to me that they only win and there is no loss record in their gambling history. And all the ones I have seen and known, the loses are more than the wins. And when I carefully look at the argument I also accept the assertion that what you win was part of your loss. Is that true? Make your input.
This has not always been the case for all gamblers the exception is that those with the higher losses to winning are of greater number.

As a gambler you have to calculate yourself how you carry on with your gambling and the amount of money you spend and the type of games or sports you bet on,  betting on sports games you are knowledgeable of gives you a good chance of having more wins than losses. People that frequently experience greater losses than the wins they make in gamble as mainly those that gamble in games they have no skill or good information on, even with luck you also need to be skillful at what you do in gambling.

For me I develop a way of dealing with the idea that am losing more than am winning in gamble by making sure that every winning I make I use a bigger portion of that money to get myself an item to always remind I got it through a win sometimes ago. As I don't record my wins and losses that's how I do to make myself not to think about the insignificant losses I make. I call it insignificant because am a responsible gambler I don't gamble beyond what I can afford to lose.

Desperation maybe mate, And yes we need to understand him now  as he cannot find any reason or way to seek for help and that is really frustrating.

And this may serve all a lesson about that , never trust gambling just because they are popular instead better to seek deeper and look for the accusation they are facing.
There are new victims all the time, and they come here only when they have been scammed or when they have seen an issue with withdrawal. Many of them search for a random casino with good odds and start to wager without investigation.
1Xbit ultimately knows this that there will always be new victims that they will prey on before their victims will even realize or know their true records. People this days are too lazy to doing investigation on whatever platform they want to make use of before going ahead after all factual finds would have proved their worthiness of use, but after they would have falling and lost money or anything valuable that's when you see them have time to seek for informations about it.

1Xbit isn't a casino that is hard to make findings about regarding their reputation, for with just a click everything and complaints about their scam activities from previous users will just appear on the Google search, even the complains from members of bitcointalk community but unfortunately new gambler's chose to make use of any gambling site they see without prior thorough research about their reputation overtime and 1xbit has been taking advantage of their laziness.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Buying and Selling of Casino Accounts (Discussion thread) on: February 19, 2024, 07:27:20 AM

Now, my question is..
- is it right to sell ones casino account, most especially when the account is KYCed?
- Do casinos have any policy against account sells?
- If you have the opportunity of buying a casino account, would you buy or build yours from afresh?
- Would you sell your casino account if you decide to leave gambling completely, most especially, your KYCed account? If yes, how do you trust the buyer?

* Selling ones account isn't only wrong but extremely risky to both the buyer and the seller.  How about in the process of running the account if it's been bought and some deposit probably made or a huge win is made and you are required to pass KYC, how do you the buyer plan on taking care of that situation when the account opening kyc doesn't match with that of yours as the new owner now. Onto that seller, the seller could also face the risk of his sold account that is with his details being used for fraudulent activities of financial crime of money laundering and you find yourself in police net for something you know nothing of.

* I think this is something that could compromise casino's security in terms of dealing with imposters and impersonation as a result of account selling and as such they wouldn't be a party to it and will ultimately have a policy against account selling. Maybe if we could do well to read through their ToS we can find it laying there.

* What does it really take to building your own account, for crying out loud we don't get charged for opening new account account with a casino so why take the risk of buying an account when you can also build yours with time to such VIP rank even more above with repute than that which you would be risking to buy.

* Just as in my second comment  I placed the risk of selling account on both parties I won't sell my account,. If am staying away from gambling then I should be doing that for good by staying of completely by requesting the casino to closed down my account. The money I'll want to make by selling the account could also put me into bigger risk if am unlucky to have sold it to the wrong entity. And one important thing we are omitting here is that it's like transferring your data to a total stranger exposing your privacy to an unknown person and living by the mercy of the person not to use your account that is with your details to commit crime that will involve you.

With the advancement of technology it has penetrated into all areas of human activities that it has led to modernity of the use of things making it done with ease and gambling is one of such factors with tremendous change in the way we use to engage in it back in the days to now.

With the invention of AI I can actually say the world has seen nothing yet with how the gambling sector would be transformed from what we have today to how it's going to be like in the future. What really paved way to the multifaceted experiences we're getting with gambling today is the creation of the internet, and it's so amazing that the gambling industry has been able to optimize it's use to the advancement of gambling so profitably.
545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 18, 2024, 01:42:40 PM
Manchester United will face Luton Town few hours later, in this years United never losses and there are not any team can't stopping the winning trend from Manchester United except Tottenham Hotspur but the match result was draw. Looking current standings position, Luton Town is not problem for Manchester United defend unbeaten record in this year but last three matches all competition Luton Town had impressive performance, but last match Luton Town got bad result after defeating by Sheffield United in front of their fans.
My prediction Manchester United will continue their winning trend and make record four winning match in a row after two winning matches before against Wolves, West Ham and Aston Villa.

Manchester United have a good winning streak of three games in the Premier League. This game is technically another opportunity to maintain this form.

But they should still be very careful against Luton. Because there have been interesting performances by Luton recently against Brighton and Newcastle. Luton scored 4 goals against each one of these opponents. As Manchester United defense isn't in very good condition this season they need to be extra careful. I feel like they will concede a goal anyway but still manage to win by 2-1 or a similar score. On a week Tottenham got a defeat Manchester United should benefit from this.
Tottenham loss to wolves on their home ground was a big blow reducing their chance of holding the fifth position on the table or even moving forward, with Manchester united just behind them in the sixth position with 6points difference it's an opportunity to draw closer if they can win Luton in today's game it's just going to be a 3points difference between them and Tottenham.

Luton has been good with getting goals in their just recent games and Manchester united needs to intimidate them by getting more of the goals against Luton since United is known for its weak defense which obviously actually means that goals are inevitable in this game from both teams .
546  Economy / Economics / Re: Save money today so money would save you tomorrow. on: February 18, 2024, 10:58:13 AM
  So please it’s not too late to stop spending on things that doesn’t really matter, so basically the money you saved today could literally save you tomorrow.
But will you keep saving when there's a better way for you to secure tomorrow which is by investing? Investing offers a better option to me than saving because in saving your money may be losing value due to inflation but when it comes to investing the money is building value against tomorrow. Do not save without investing. If you want to have things easier for you tomorrow then it is better to make sacrifices today to make good investments that will be profitable for tomorrow.
From what Op has addressed about savings he didn't seem to despite investment but only laying emphasis on the importance of savings and how it could salvage us in an emergency times. Investment is indispensable in this harsh economy where inflation is ravaging and devaluing the proceeds of our efforts but investment can't plays a different role as it can't meet emergency demand but savings can be taken out immediately to solve emergencies as immediately they arise.

So I'll suggest, if the size of your income isn't efficient to start investing from it based on your responsibilities then make room for savings and save as much possible in the little ways you can. If you fall to invest don't fail to save, if possible don't fail to key into the two areas.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 17, 2024, 05:34:10 PM
Considering that Manchester City lost points in the first meeting with Chelsea this season, they will not make the same mistake in the second meeting. Manchester City is in its best form and is on a mission to take the top of the standings from Liverpool. They need two wins in the next two matches, including matches against Chelsea and Brentford.

Manchester City must avoid a draw or loss to Chelsea and only then will Manchester City have a greater chance of taking the top of the standings from Liverpool. Chelsea have been very inconsistent so far even though they have won 3 of their last 5 matches. Manchester City has home advantage which gives it a higher chance of winning, but nothing can be confirmed before the match ends.
Chelsea won't be able to compete with Manchester city in this game at home because City is making every effort to catch up with Liverpool after they lost several points and now have managed to close up the point gap between them and Liverpool. They will do everything within their strength to win Chelsea in this game tonight and wouldn't even want to share points again with Chelsea.

You just conclude in a hurry even before the ball bounced, for we all know how inconsistent Chelsea team has been all through this season only delivering when less expected of a good performance. Remember the last time Manchester City and Chelsea met it was a different ball game for both teams and after that game Chelsea went to lose to an average team, so it's like Chelsea are aroused when they meet a bigger team but become dull when it's an average team. However, let wait till the ball bounce although I really love to see Manchester City win this game as I want them on the top of the table any time soon.
Not actually that I'm concluding but base on the situation on ground, and taking everything into consideration in terms of form, strength, recent head-to-head meetings with Chelsea, the category of players both the teams have and the manager in charge and coupled with the fact that Manchester will also be having a home advantage in this game, all factors of consideration for the likelihood of them winning the game is in their favor.
All correct that the likelihood of Manchester City winning this game is greatly in their favour after all these analysis you have made above is been considered however there could be a twist of luck very surprising outside which by direct comparison Chelsea has no chance of winning this game. I just did a check on the line up of Chelsea start only to find out that Nkuku is not in the start X1 and as a fan you be wondering is Pochettino really out tonight for a win against Manchester or he's basing on chance

549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you stick to some Casinos or do you try out new ones? on: February 17, 2024, 01:27:44 PM
what do you think?. Do you believe he is right with the rigid approach to gambling?,  also should I continue convincing him  to try out something new and enjoy these great offers?.
Right or wrong, every body has a right to make their on what approach to go with as they gamble. But it is important to point out that developing the attitude of falling into gambling addiction doesn't has a thing to do with the number of gambling sites or casinos you dare to make use of.

For him to have chosen to make use of a particular gambling site not minding the interesting bonus offers from other gambling sites he would have been enjoying some services that he does not find in those other sites you are bringing to his notice. And like myself I don't give so much relevance to bonuses as what I am very much interested in from a casino is that fairness and how fast their support system is when as a gambler I face certain challenge with my account.

Op I think you stop trying to convince your friend about it and let him enjoy what he's enjoying while you enjoy yours. We all have out different interest.

This is a very serious fight and a must watch for all. From the speech's of both fighters as read from the link provided in the Op it is obvious that this fight is not about the title literally, it's personal. According to Catterall, "this is not about the belt", in my opinion it is a revenge, a vendetta shoved fight for him to prove a point to his fans and other people.

I understand Taylor is a good fighter of which I admire his qualities but am in lack of faith in Taylor if he actually knows what is coming to him April 27th because Catterall isn't smile at all as he's ready to see Taylor to retirement.

DCA method is great and recommendable specially for low income earners that can't afford to buy a lump sum amount at once. Through the few years I have known bitcoin and based on personal research I have learnt that in whichever way you chose to invest in bitcoin in as much as it's for a long time plan of about 3-4 years above you are sure to make profit. What's most important is sticking to a method that is convenient for you to be able and capable of holding for long without emergencies forcing you to withdraw when the time isn't ripe.

Yea, obviously you guys are definitely young in the industry and that's why you need to include bitcoin among your crypto payment coins as it will attract more users especially from this forum than any other coins. Just like you read from one of the user above that over 1.2 million visitors makes their way into the forum monthly and am sure about 90% of these visitors if not all are attracted to the forum as a result of bitcoin just as the forum name implies bitcointalk. So the earlier the better.

- There is no terms and conditions, anyone can use our prediction market
This probably my first time of seeing a web3 gambling site categorically stating they don't have any terms and conditions for their platform and for me am curious to see how this turns out in the future for both the users and the site owners.

You're welcome to bitcointalk.

What do you think about this?
I think from a betting perspective it'd be interesting to see blue cards included in betting options actually.
. Hey mate am sure you may not have known but you will want to know that this topic has been discussed in the forum from days ago before now and it will be commended you lock yours to avoid repetitive topics Re: Blue card to be introduced in football.

From a betting perspective I think both the casinos and the gamblers will want to take advantage of the initiative in their bet options but just like every other prediction options before now it has always favoured the gambling house as the number of blue cards a gambler will be predicting to take place in a single match will mostly not be happening.

I've already gotten two comments on my profile for posting trash and I don't know why I'm been condemned in such a way but they should also understand that there are people who are trying to do everything all by themselves without having any direction from others and as a matter of fact this is my first forum ever and I am trying to figure things out by myself and want to plead that everyone to bear with me please and don't also hold my worngs against me and I've been confused on what the abbreviation op truly means as I read that it means original poster but it seems it's been used in other context and I want to plead that you pardon me and clear me what it actually means.
Don't feel bad when you're been chastised about what you are doing wrong in the forum, for a blank slate person like you to the forum it can be really difficult but you have to accept it the way it is and not take it as condemnation. We all want the best and that's why when forum members sees anything from a member that doesn't seem like the best or close to the best they take it upon themselves to point it out. Learn to accept corrections and read about rules and functions of the different boards in the forum for your own improvement.

I would have delved into what an OP means but need not be as many members has already touched that area. This could be of assistance to you: Guidelines for threads
557  Economy / Speculation / Re: A new ATH before halving. Is it possible? on: February 15, 2024, 08:21:59 AM
Now, my question is: is it a possibility that this upcoming halving is unique in that a new ATH is reached before it? We still have a lot of time left. With the demand beating the supply, $69,000 is not far away from the current price.
currently the price is at $51,600+  that's just a difference of $17,000+ to a $69k price and more, and looking at the time that we're yet to cover before the halving it's rational to say it's possible to say that a bitcoin ATH could take place before the halving.

Perhaps should this happens then to me I feel it's going to stem a precedent in history  of bitcoin that the future of bitcoin ATH after this very one in focus will be skeptical for all investors as the debate will be that an ATH might set in before a halving or a halving before an ATH but either ways this will all depend on the demand and supply of the market.
558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Difference between afford to lose and can't afford to lose. on: February 15, 2024, 05:31:37 AM
Your first definition is not correct. It is the second definition that is correct. Even if you are working and collecting huge amount of money, if you are gambling with the amount high enough to make you not to progress in life but making you to have financial issues, that means you are gambling with the amount of money that you can not afford to lose and if you are doing that consistently, thst is an addiction.
Based on my understanding according to how the op explained the first definition I can say he is correct with that definition. If you can afford the money you want to use to gamble you won't be depending on someone else for it, and it's because the gambler couldn't afford it hence the dependence. If m dependent on somebody for something it then means that what am dependent is above my pay grade because I can't afford it on my own.

However, I agree with you that it's an attitude of addiction for a gambler to gamble with money that is beyond his salary or income as it can place him into debts that before his next salary arrives the next month it has already been spent prior to it's arrival and that's same thing as spending more than one can afford to lose.
559  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why social media influencer is a danger to our newbies on: February 14, 2024, 01:53:56 PM
Though there are still people that gives good information on wealth creation platforms not really because they have made it through but because they also have that intention of people joining them in what they are doing as well because when more people are involved in something, it makes the system to get trust and recognition and more people will be interested unlike when it's only few people that are involved as others would be afraid of joining because they may feel that the few people are working together in their own benefits as joining them may be risky.
It is correct to say that there are still professional financial advisers and influencers with good intentions on the social media platforms only that they are very few in contrast to the vast number of scam influencers that are focused on squeezing money out from newbies by preying on their ignorance and weakness.

One of such few genuine influencers I know and do follow on socials is John Obidi he is popular for those on telegram they would know about him and I must admit he has in one way or another impacted positively to my life's decisions financially. So newbies should learn to make research about any influencers they meet online and crosscheck his past records and history how he has been able to positively touch people's lives and not just to jump into their too sweet to believe offers and gimmicks.
560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: stop the unnecessary blame on gambling whenever you get unlucky on: February 14, 2024, 10:44:27 AM
A lot of people have been clamoring about how gambling has ruined their life but same gambling has set some people up for life, just like every other form of investment there must always be a profit or a loss.  And life is so balanced that what works for Mr A might not be the same that works for Mr B. Likewise in gambling,  while some are crying about their loss they are some who are smiling and celebrating their win.
 Gambling has been seen as a very dangerous thing base on some people's point of view here in the forum whereas in reality it has given some people the capital to start what ever business they want to do. My point in this post is that we shouldn’t just paint gambling all black because some people have fail to stick to the discipline of gambling.
What irks me more about these seta of people that throws tantrums about how their lives has been ruined and bastardized by gambling is that even in that series of complains they are still into gambling they haven't quit. And I wonder, who is actually ruining who. Because from how I see It it is the person that is actually ruining his life in this one.

It is natural that we quit from any activity, business or relationship that is not favouring us but whereby we still settle in and dishing blames out we are mainly acting stupid because the blame game won't bring any resounding solution but quiting will not only bring you solution but with a peace of mind too.  If you must gamble, then gamble responsibly.
