Wow finally, this is good news for all Bitcoin investors as all we have been anticipating are coming to reality gradually, the approval of spot Bitcoin ETF is yet another milestone achievement for Bitcoin investors and now that Bitcoin have gain recognition by international standard authority, I think it will enhance more security awareness within the ecosystem and possibly grant investors access to tokens without buying the currency.

Though with the current controversy that surrounds the announcement it seems there is something fishy but however within some few days we will get to know the real story definitely.

Excessive gambling is detrimental to the life of a gambler no doubt, stories, facts and truths have proven this that they suffer a lot of pressure, tension, loses and frustration. I am also concerned about the impact of gambling on the lives of those dependent on the gambler like his immediate family(wife, children, parents and siblings). I have heard stories of children whose early lives were messed up due to the bad habits of gambling addiction of their fathers. A very recent one is one account in this forum which created a topic staring his hatred for gambling and backing his claim with same ugly story of being a product of a home where the father is a gambling addict. He stressed that it ruined his father and affected him disastrously. I know how painful and frustrating it is when your foundation its poor, and the negative effect is massive.

So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?

To me the people around him are the ones that suffer most because a gambler may not really understand the pain the family go true as a result of his gambling habits because there are times that he may gamble with the family's feeding money and afterwhich the family may go hungry due to his act and it's really going to affect the family and moreover, he may receive his salary and spend it on gambling so when his family demands for money he will tell them he has no money.

Further more, if someone is too addicted to gambling is the family that bears the brunt because people will be talking ill of their father and they won't say anything because they know that their father is a gambler. It is necessary for us to know that our actions and inactions most times affect our families and loved ones so it is the duty of every gambler to be conscious of their gambling habits and not be too involved to the extent that their decisions will start affecting the family and loved ones.

Gambling every day is just equal to addiction because you will do anything necessary to get money in other not to skip a day without playing and the more you keep gambling everyday the more you run into too many losses and it might deprive you from focusing on other life obligations because all your focus and attention is on gambling and hoping to win one day of which the chances is minimal so just like gambling is a game of luck as what works for another may not really work for you so if you choose to follow how others play gamble you may really go astray when you don't achieve what you wanted so no matter how inquisitive you are to win, gambling everyday is not a good habit.

I know that basically gambling is based on luck, but we can use tricks or strategies so that we don't spend a lot of money and can still win, even if it's only a small win.

In general, in my opinion, there are several categories of games in gambling such as house edge games, sportsbooks, slot machine games, live casino games, and lottery. In your opinion, which game do you think is the most logical to win? and what is the reason?

You may actually be right on your own perception about these games you've mentioned as the most logical and profitable games but you see those games are programmed as sometimes there's some manipulations in it that you may not actually know but in sports betting, you watch everything live on the television and see how the match is playing like everything is real about football such that if you lose you lose, if you also win better so for me I prefer sports betting as the most transparent, logical and profitable game to gamble with, my own opinion though

Nice has demonstrated stability and competitiveness to avoid relegation and even makes it to the top four in some instances. Their current improved form makes them look like a tough a top team in the league, but that hasn't enough to challenge for the title.

Despite Nice flopping a bit in their quest for the Ligue 1 title, is still applaud their consistency so far because it's not really easy to maintain such form since the season began and even maintain the second position after losing our the top position to Paris Saint German. Nice have won 10 out of 17 matches they've played so far, drew 5 and lost just 2 and has a total of 40 points so definitely they're good and one thing I admire about Nice is their solid defense as they don't concede too many goals that's why they conceded just 9 goals in their league matches this season and scored a total of 19 goals.

Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.

Gambling is a choice and it affecting you in real life is dependent on how you go about your gambling habit. For me I can't advice someone to join or not to join gambling but the only advice I can offer is that you should play as you can endure, play with the little you have and don't go borrowing just to play gamble, don't persuade anyone to join gambling, have in mind that gambling is a game of chances as winning always isn't guaranteed, play responsibly and don't skip your daily activities just because of gambling and lastly make sure you are earning an income before you venture into gambling and play with a free mind regardless of whether you win or lose.
568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gamblers do retired betting gambles on: January 09, 2024, 05:41:50 AM
As a gambler what do you think that should be the right time we suppose to leave gambling weather we are making profits or we are not making profits with gambling, because I know quite well that gambling whenever you are making profits you will wish to continue gambling unless that you run out of cash.

In the ancient days, it's really difficult for you to see a young man playing gambling or getting involved in gambling related activities as it is mostly old men that plays gamble as at that time and if any young man wants to play gamble, the old men will chase him away. It is just in this modern days that youths are getting involved in gambling if not youths never showed interest in gambling and one of the things that made most of our youths get involved in gambling is as a result of lack of job opportunity because I don't see any reason why someone who is earning from a job will choose to play gambling that has a 50:50 chance of winning but however, there are still some person that earns salary but yet they still gamble.

Let me no digress from the question, there is actually no speculated age in which someone would quit gambling because gambling is a choice and quitting gambling is a choice as well but to me when one is getting out of age (becoming old), they should rather exonerate themselves from anything that will cause shock and anxiety in them and also things that will stress their life. Gambling shouldn't be played till old age as at that time what they need is rest and relaxation rather than getting involved in things that will compound their memory or cause uneasiness to their health.
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your gambling life could affect your relatives lifes. on: January 09, 2024, 04:26:24 AM
I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.

I have a cousin who is so addicted to gambling to the extent that he borrows money at any available opportunity, even most time he owes the betting company and when he's been called to order by the family the next day he's gonna either borrow another money or will owe the bet company, even we as his family are the ones bearing the brunt as we're the ones paying for the debts he has incurred. We even arrested him and made him sign an undertaking in the police station never to gamble or borrow money again but yet after he was released he still kept on with same habits like we all are tired.

It is really very bad that someone will go to the length of gambling with anything due to addiction and these people are not even ashamed of themselves as the relatives and family members are the ones that others meet to complain about their gambling habits which is very shameful.

There has been no official news, but leaks say that Mbappe has already signed a contract with Real Madrid (the transfer will take place in the summer). Now there is no official announcement of this news, since apparently Mbappe wants to calmly finish the season for PSG and calmly leave without scandals and conflicts with the fans. Or maybe this news will be announced after Real and PSG either play each other in the Champions League or avoid this possibility (one of the clubs is eliminated).
So far there has been no official report from the club or the player's agent regarding his signing a contract with Real Madrid even though rumors that he will leave for Real Madrid are growing. If it is true that the agreement between PSG and Real Madrid has gone so far then next season will be quite interesting to see the strength that Real Madrid has and this will make Real Madrid's attack power even more dangerous.

If you look at some of the reports, I'm sure Mbappe will play for Real Madrid and maybe as you said, both parties are still waiting for the right time to announce it. Because if it is done now, fans will be quite disappointed, because PSG is still playing in the Champions League.

If you check Fabrizio's Facebook or Twitter page you will see that he has made a statement about Mbappe's current situation. He said that Mbappe's camp has not made any decisions on if he will move clubs or something. So I think it is pretty clear that he has not signed any deal or something.  If he had signed any deals with Real Madrid, we would have heard many rumors about it already since major transfers like these do not get done without leaks. Fabrizio assured me that no deal has taken place yet between them.

Besides Real Madrid has said that they won't be signing anyone new this season. Whether or not Mbappe will be coming next season is not confirmed though. There are still 6 months from then and anything can happen in 6 months.
Paris Saint-German management would not like to allow Mbappe to leave Paris Saint-German for any other club this January transfer window, because Mbappe is an important player for Paris Saint-German and Paris Saint-German would find it hard to win matches if Mbappe leaves.

Though Kylian Mbappe has made a very huge impact for Paris Saint German but that doesn't mean that he can't move to any other club of his choice. PSG management team may not really want him to leave the club now but if it's his personal decision to leave then there's nothing anyone can do about that though for me I want him to move to other clubs and showcase his skills and talent as well rather than being stucked in Paris Saint German.
572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 08, 2024, 11:21:22 PM
OP one of the things that pushes people, be it young or old into gambling is when they eventually win or someone predicted a game for them and they actually won and maybe it might be a period when they're experiencing some financial constraints and as a result, the money they won aided them alot so that's what causes more interest of people be it young or old.

Sometimes, betting codes are even advertised by market women who maybe would have won through the source that brought the booking code and you know market women doesn't hide things as anything or any information that comes to them, they publicize it to everyone in the market.
This case of this woman is the picture is rather unfortunate because from the look of things, the woman have been deeply involved in gambling to an extent that whenever she loses bets she's very expressive and this is a very bad habit as this can lead to some health challenges like HBP as a result of shock in a situation when she play and couldn't win.

It's really gonna be so bad if her children finds out that she's this deep in gambling if at all the children is not aware that their mom is deep in gambling. Our parents doesn't need to get involved in things that will jeopardize our future as such should disengage themselves from anything that will pose as a threat to the well being of the children in the future
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: January 08, 2024, 02:38:20 PM
I agree with what you said that it is very easy for someone to be able to gamble their money on a casino platform but the most difficult thing is knowing when to stop. Because the bad habit of most gamblers is that they risk more money when they have earned more than their initial capital. They think that by gambling more money, it will give them the opportunity to win more money and make them rich, even though what happens is the opposite, where they can lose more money and in the end they will be stressed about it. Knowing when to stop is one of the keys to being a responsible gambler and all gamblers should know this.


No matter the amount someone has made in gambling, it is always difficult to set a quiting time because they still gonna be hopeful to win even more in the future thereby after a win they still keep playing as some will even increase their staking power like if thet normally stake $100 on a bet they will now increase their staking power to $200 or more before you know all the money vanishes but telling me that a gambler should know when to stop gambling is really not obtainable but rather they can reduce their gambling habits.
574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Use your winning responsibly on: January 08, 2024, 02:31:59 PM
OP it's really nice to see evidence that some gamblers as still cashing out regardless that some others are also incurring losses but notwithstanding, it is a nice experience to win huge and utilize the money on important things that you'll look up to and also see that you've also achieved something in gambling but the problems with some gamblers is that after winning and buying things of this nature just like the plasma you bought, some gamblers even gamble more hard and before you know it they will exhaust the money they have and start thinking of reselling the property with which they bought with the money they won initially which is a very bad habit.

The quality of Manchester City have increased and its time to resume betting on the club because they're now consistent and doesn't fluctuate as before. Manchester City flogged Hundersfield 5-0 in the FA Cup. It was described as such an easy victory for the Citizens at Etihad stadium, everything running in path of their winning was smooth. Pep Guardiola is now relaxed because one of his key player have made return back to the squad after suffering a long term injury. Kelvin De Bruyne have measure crucial assist to Jeremy Doku who netted in style. I would gladly say, Manchester City have bounce back and they're extremely on different stats.
The real key to success that Manchester City has is Haaland and also De Bruyne, if these two players enter the field in every match, there is big possibility that the result will be win and of course last season was an example that both of them are players who always win until 3 championship titles.

The combination of Erling Haaland and Kelvin De Bryune is really what I tag as "cause trouble" because you can really spot the difference when this two players are being featured together in a match and when they ain't featured together but it's just unfortunate that Kelvin De Bryune has been absent due injuries and his return to fitness and to the pitch of play against their match with Huddersfield was really a huge celebration for Manchester city because his impact in the club is superb.

 Erling Haaland who hasn't featured since Manchester city's match against Aston villa due to injury is also speculated by Pep Guardiola to return in their match against Newcastle on Saturday so it will really been an awesome combination to see both Erling Haaland and Kelvin De Bryune play together ones again.

577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: January 07, 2024, 06:12:01 AM
Maybe what they mean is "fun" in the sense that they don't focus too much on making money and just play normally to get entertainment from it. It doesn't mean they are "fun" when they lose, of course they are also annoyed when they lose, only crazy people are happy when they lose. But when players keep thinking about the money they might lose in the games they play, it can make them stressed and not enjoy the game, so they gamble for fun to enjoy it.

No one is totally happy when they ain't making profits in any business, and gambling is also more like a business as it is expected for one to either gain or lose so a situation whereby a gambler keeps on losing and calling it fun like that's actually insanity because no matter the amount you've got no one wishes to lose money all the time though gambling is meant to be played for fun regardless of either you're making profits or running losses but however, no gambler is completely happy to be losing bets all the time and call it fun that's just the gospel truth.
578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 07, 2024, 06:04:09 AM
People don't know how easy it is to be a gambling expert, everyone is free to become one but who will lose their money? The person predicting is not at any risk since they are not the one risking money, if losses comes you will lose and the expert will tell you sorry, that's all.

It's simple and clear, do not believe in gambling experts, if they are so good at gambling predictions, watch them close, let them risk their money on few games first and see the results yourself, you will instantly know if they are very good.

Still, I personally don't believe that anyone is a expert in this field, because luck isn't something you can always gamble right, you will lose many times and if care is not taken this could be the end to your motivation and dream, that's why it's not safe to be too into gambling.

In a nutshell, there's absolutely nothing like gambling experts, do you think if they are so sure about a bet wouldn't they sell their properties to play? Of course they know it isn't easy and the worst part of it is even if you're lucky to win a bet with those self acclaimed experts the next they will do is for you to enter into negotiation of huge amount next time and some persons do fall victims since they've recorded success with them before.

So far as gambling is concerned, no one knows it all as if any body knows how to predict game perfectly, they wouldn't even share it with others due to the greedy nature of mankind. The funny part of this stories is that if they found out they've failed, they also try again to persuade such people again next time and tell them he did a mistake last time just imagine.

Gambling is pure luck though sometimes their are knowledge that are applied and it favours one but no matter how successful you are as a gambler, you shouldn't boast that you're an expert or a genius as you may run out of luck that day and face heavy defeat.
579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: January 07, 2024, 02:27:23 AM
If you look at the current point difference, it is only 4 points behind. I think it's only a matter of time until Munich returns to chasing these points and even becomes champion. I don't doubt the performance of Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso, but we are aware that Munich is truly a candidate to win number one in the Bundesliga. And when it comes to the European league, I think everyone agrees that many people talk about Liverpool's best chance of becoming champions. This is not who the champion is, but this is who has the greatest chance of becoming champion.
Currently, the opportunities are still very equal between one team and another in the European League, but when we look at the strengths of each team, of course there are many people who do not doubt the quality of the players that Liverpool has. However, we also shouldn't forget about the strength that Leverkusen currently has because in general the players at Leverkusen are still quite united and enthusiastic in fighting for victory in whatever league they play in this season.

But a match is never a comparison of two teams being written on a piece of paper next to each other and then see who is going to win. It depends on the shape they are in on that day, which of the players can reach their maximum performance level, who is available at all because of injuries or health deficits otherwise, luck plays an important part in those games, too.

In football luck do happen at times but a teams performance is vividly centered at the ability of the teammates to understand each other and bring forth their best in other to achieve a favourable result and it's also dependent on the qualities of players such a club has like if you take a look at some of the bigger teams like, Manchester city, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, PSG and others you will observe that they do excellently well as a result of the tactical and quality players each club has so players quality also improves club's performance. Injury also is a factor that affects club's performance because when some of the key players are injured the club normally finds it difficult for a replacement that will suit such a position.
580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 07, 2024, 02:07:11 AM
The second half started and they started the half with a 1-goal lead. But looking at the first half, I'm a bit surprised that Verona was able to keep up with Inter Milan, despite the goal but overall they played quite well.
Inter Milan will have to be careful, as the threat is clear given the visitors' first half performance. A 1-goal lead is not safe enough for them, especially since there is still enough time left to surprise in this match.
Despite coming from the relegation board, Verona looks more excited to be able to bring home at least 1 point from this match. And if Inter Milan make a lot of mistakes then Verona can just realize their wishes.

Fiorentina, Juventus, AC Milan on their home grounds are only able to win 1 - 0 against Verona.
Suprisingly, Verona able to score and its 1-1 now.
Anyway, Inter is still dominating the game, and they might score once again before the final whistle.
Inter Milan could not win against Hellas Verona easily as I expected, but Inter Milan managed to beat Hellas Verona 2-1 in extra time. Hellas Verona could have made it 2-2 from the penalty spot but Henry missed the penalty for Hellas Verona. If Inter Milan should continue with this recent performance, Juventus might top the Italy Serie A table.

The match wasn't really an easy one for Inter Milan as the 74th minutes equalizer from Hellas Verona's T. Henry almost ruined their chances of winning but however Davide Frattesi 90+3 minutes goal saw Inter Milan triumph over hellas verona though Hellas Verona gave them a tough game but they were able to maneuver and achieved all 3 points. With the kind of consistency Inter Milan have shown so far, I don't see them giving Juventus a chance to top the league table.
