I have the best strategy for sport betting and I am willing to give it out for free, that's you risking only what you can afford to lose, don't use money that's meant for your education and don't use money that is supposed to keep your business running, stay away from loans and borrowing money from anyone to risk on gambling.

If the government is benefiting from the people for been poor and deep in poverty then what will they benefit if majority of people are rich? Yet they still allow casinos to run and function in their country, it shows they are smarter than you, people acts like zombies all the time, this is what they believe, they knew that the chances of you getting rich in gambling is super slim, and they start regulating casinos to make money off them too, to the government, gambling is a win win situation for them.

It's like what Kiyosaki used to say, keep them poor, start selling them their fantasies, they are making millions off the poor and pretending to give hope onto them if they can take the risk, it's like running a circus, wise the up people, risk only what you can afford.

A professional trader that I know started his money making journey through gambling and he lost a lot of money, he later abandoned gambling for trading and that's where he picked up till today, he is now thinking about gambling again, this is what I love to hear about people because this person is born smart, most gamblers wont quit, they will not look for solution to the problem, instead they will keep believing that some miracle will happen one day and time will fly faster before they realize that they have nothing so far.

The problem with gamblers is they lack good source of making money, this is the first problem to deal with and gambling isn't the solution to this, you are to do something that's worth sacrificing your time on, sorry gambler, but this is true, you will be comfortable with gambling only when you are making some money else where.

Choosing gambling first over everything else is a very bad plan, learn some good skills and start making money first then think about gambling later, gambling and a game of luck is for people who can afford taking the risk the safest way.

They could but who cares? It's something that do with their personal choices but I have never seen owners coming to their location to gamble, how many casino owners have you seen gambling in their own casino OP?

Showing their faces in their own casino is not safe for them either, do you know that some people who gambles never grow pass their losses? They hold grudges when they lost money that's why they do crimes and blame the casino for their crimes.

Now imagine if the the owner is present in the casino when someone lose a lot of money, anything can happen, they can target the owner and do some stuffs that are illegal, this is why most casino owners don't expose themselves to the public, it's not safe for them.

Before you get involve and invest your money into anything you must first know everything about it, that's the case with Bitcoin, if you don't like learning then Bitcoin is not for someone like you, this is where the risky aspect of Bitcoin is born, you lack every knowledge and you aren't trying to seek for knowledge either, so of cos, you are at risk if you still proceed with investing in Bitcoin.

For someone who understand Bitcoin they are not exposed to any risks, they know the right things to do about Bitcoin and they know how to safe their wallet from thieves online, someone who don't want to learn won't have the ideas needed and so they will lost their Bitcoin.

Lack of knowledge is why people believe that Bitcoin is risky, to them, once Bitcoin starts to dump it's over, they wont see opportunity present to them by the dump, only those who understands Bitcoin will know that it's an opportunity to buy, not those that refuse to learn anything about Bitcoin.
585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What impact does the BTC price have on your gambling habits? on: November 12, 2023, 07:24:39 AM
You don't go to your long term holding portfolio to withdraw into any casino account, like who does that? Your Bitcoin bag should be put aside from your gambling account, when you have the money to risk in gambling you can use that to buy Bitcoin and send it to the casino account, but do not use your main Bitcoin for gambling.

If you are eaarning $100 per week you can use 2% or 5% to buy Bitcoin and send to your gambling account, this will not make you feel like you are wasting your Bitcoin on gambling, unless you are getting paid in Bitcoin every week or month.

Also do not forget that you can get more Bitcoin if you win some money too, if you are a responsible gambler it shouldn't be hard for you to do, the best thing anyone can do is to keep using small amount that they can afford to lose in gambling.

A part of me is even feeling like getting paid in Bitcoin can make you think straight with gambling, you knew what Bitcoin is turning into this days, this can make you tune down your risks on gambling because you are using something far more precious to gamble.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: November 11, 2023, 10:29:22 AM
Some people still gambles in their old age with some old school games, in my home town, old men who can't work again now keep themselves busy with gambling and they use something else apart from money to gamble, I have seen then using plate of food, bunch of plantain and even tubers of yam, they are doing this to make the game more fun and women around the village including children will gather around them forming a big circle.

I can't tell someone not to gamble at their old age, any old man that still gambles at such age already knows better, they are doing it the right way and you don't have to lecture them, like when do you come into existence? They are here before you and they have seen a lot.

Such people are the type we go out to for advice seeking, and don't think because they are into gambling that they are useless people, the few old gamblers that I know are very smart, my father used to warn me about gambling but some people are far ahead of getting addicted to gambling, those old men did it for fun not for money.
587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For Newbies Interested in Gambling on: November 11, 2023, 09:01:27 AM
It's funny how people decide to start gambling to win money, they are so prepared for the winning side but they are not ready to lose, that's incomplete strategy of gambling, such people should not have started to gamble at all, there is always two sides to gambling, it's either you win or you lose and in gambling you are going to lose more, it's not hard to understand that you can't be prepared for winning without been prepared for losing.

People care most about what they want to get, and whatever they have in the present time makes no sense to them, they are always looking forward to the future, and that's why they always risk everything they have right now, it's not a healthy thing to do.

I said this because you won't be able to cherish what you have or what you are making right now because all your mind are on what you will get tomorrow if you gamble, this is what makes some gamblers to become addicted to gambling.

If you don't care about how much you are risking on gambling, you shouldn't care much after losses comes for you, me personally? I think more about how much I am risking, because to me it's about my present, will I be able to live tomorrow in good shape and good mind? So I won't dare risk the amount that I will start feeling like how I wish I never did it.

It is not true. Bounty managers are very strict about the discussions and information you share on the forum. They check very closely, and if you do not comply with the rules, you will be removed from the campaign. It has happened to me three times in this year from different bounty managers, so just because you were accepted into a signature campaign doesn't mean you should start posting bursts.

Participants are paid per week if they deserve it, so your point on this part isn't so good, bounty managers aren't stupid, they are fit to handle any campaign, and that's why they are capable of doing so..

Have you received any texts from strangers asking you to share your merits with them so they can do the same for you? We need the screenshot to believe this. Merit can only be earned if you deserve it, so engage in discussions and drop quality replies, and you will receive merit from people who enjoy your content.
589  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sad reality: some countries gamble more than they can afford on: November 11, 2023, 07:31:26 AM
It's a general problem in gambling, it doesn't matter which country a gambler is from, anyone can, black or white can gamble with what they can't afford to lose, and sadly not everyone knows the true meaning of gambling, for me the definition have every truth exposed about gambling.

Gambling is taking action with the hope of a desired result, unfortunately someone won't make money if you win, meaning your chances are even slimmer than when it's just you and fate, in casinos case it's about you and another human, who promised to give you money if your prediction turned out right.

In sight it shows how risky gambling can be but people, stupid and foolish of them, they strongly believe that gambling holds the key to their financial problems, it's possible to win games in gambling but if your dream is to make millions in gambling you are even at a greater risk, because for such goal you will need to risk higher amount of money.

For people who expected too less from gambling, they risk very small amount that they can afford to lose to just have a win, they won't be rich but at least they won't always be at a greater risk, for them a win is a win.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: November 09, 2023, 06:56:57 AM
Let us discuss in this thread the things one should completely avoid while gambling. Here are some suggestions according to me :


1) Do not gamble in work area : It is not ethical to do so. Your employer is paying you to work for him for certain hours. If you waste these hours for gambling, it is a bad habit.

2) Do not take loan to gamble: Some young guys are so irresponsible that they take loans to gamble. It is a very bad move and can even produce life threatening conditions in future when loan recover agents knock your door.

1. I wonder how someone can gamble at their work place when there are other things they should be attending to, I have my place of work, my own business, and most times I am always busy, but for me to pick up my phone and start streaming tiktok makes no sense to me, and you are talking about gambling at work, it's impossible, there is time to gamble and that's in my bedroom, when I have nothing else to do.

2. I always advice people not to take loan to run a business, I've never liked the idea because it's possible that the business will fail and you will have to pay the loan back, if the money was all yours you aren't paying anyone back, now imagine taking loans to gamble? If taking loan to start a business can fail you what do people expect using loan on something that is all about luck? Some people are the real problem of their own lives.

When I see people that are doing this stuffs I don't always mercy them, because they don't even care about themselves and their well being, when your chances of winning is very small you do it with small amount, because it's obvious that what's waiting for you is losses.
591  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you cope with those around you not believing in you for choosing Bitcoin? on: November 08, 2023, 12:04:09 PM
Pretty much self explanatory.  How do you do it?
I listen to their reasons and I decide to whether ignore them or not, some people do have valid concerns and understand why they say what they say but some are just blatant haters and they even say their opinions very condescendingly. I'm a petty person and like keeping blatant haters around, it gives me joy to see their reaction when I ignore what they have to say about my decisions to where I invest my money.
Then we are alike, I always like staying when others choose to run away from those who are hating on them, they don't believe in us it's fine, stay around and let them feel the wrath of their own hate when you are shining, it's indeed a big pleasure watching them get suffocated while things keep getting better for you.

Some do this because they feel concerned and they don't want you to fail, but some will take it too far which will reveal that what they actually want for you is different, before I became what I am today, many people who are suppose to be encouraging me, even the so called blood ones are all criticizing, I eventually find out that it's not about concern of wasting my time, sometimes I even feel like they are witches and wizard, maybe they already have the answer of what will happen in the future and they are trying to make me stop.

The only person that supported me was my father, like if he is still alive today I will spend more money and my sweat on him, unfortunately he passed too soon, he is a special man, I am proud and confidence to say that if I have the opportunity to come back to this world again I will choose him as a father again.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What’s your strategy on high volatility slot game? on: November 08, 2023, 11:46:44 AM
If you like watch all the tip videos about Slots games online, you will still loss your money and when you don't expect is when you will win, I have done it in the past and I now lessen my gambling activities, I don't gamble right now if I don't have enough money on me, the type that even if I lose the money I still have a lot on me.

I don't risk a lot but it is a shame that you can lose countless time on a casino before you win again, for someone who is using good amount of money, they will go broke before they make something good back, if they get lucky, the chances of winning is just too slim and this is why I always use the lowest money that I can afford to lose.

Right now we are still in a bear market and I am still strongly investing in Bitcoin and other strong assets so now isn't the time to keep throwing away some money all because I want to get lucky, one is more assured than the other, so I am giving more attention to the one that requires skills than the one that requires luck.
593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how to start betting on sports? on: November 08, 2023, 10:22:23 AM
If you know nothing about sports do not place bet on any, sports are suppose to be better than slots and roulette because it's team vs team, out of the casinos hand and what is left is the performance of the team you are betting money on, way better than betting on game that is between you and the house, still it's all about luck..

But sports is better because you can still do analysis and also go with the lowest odds as they are probably the more performing team anyway, if you want to do this you should start watching sports first, take the time to watch matches as gambling isn't ending anyway, come back after you are sure that you have a clue and also a favorite sport club or team.

I was not a fam of sports until I knew that your chance of winning is higher with sports than casino games, so I started watching sports matches, It's season based and that even make it more fitted for someone like me, my advice to you is get to know the sport very well first and choose your favorite club wisely.

594  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What conditions might cause you to stop gambling? on: November 08, 2023, 09:55:56 AM
Let me see.

1. I am married and I don't make decisions on my own anymore, if my partner want me to stop gambling I will have to do it.

2. I am a responsible gambler and I don't always gamble every day, sometimes I takes me weeks to start feeling like gambling again, so if I have to stop it will be because I can't afford the money to gamble that week.

3. The money I use for gambling mostly comes from my personal business, if the situations is getting tighter and no good sales, then I have to stop because I have some responsibility to partake at home, I won't want gambling to get in the way.

I have stop gambling many times before, but I still always go back when I can afford the money, as small as the amount is, sometimes I find it hard to afford it, because like I've said I am not alone and there are some holes that needs to be filled in the family. 
595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Believe That Reading People's Bad Experience Will Help You on: November 07, 2023, 11:05:22 AM
Every beginners always believe that there is something special about their gambling skills, they want to have the taste in their own way first, so even if you keep shouting on them about how gambling can make them lose all their money they won't listen to you.

Only smart people listen to advice and make good use of the parts that they feel will be useful for them, I have lost money to gambling before and I know how it feels when you lose everything again, because of greed and your stupid way of thinking.

Greed is why a gambler will win a round and still proceed to the next, most times you will lose everything again, and ignorance is why a gambler will ignore the advice of others when gambling because they believe the same thing won't happen to them.

When everyone are chasing the same goal that you want, it's obvious what will happen at the end, this is what gambling is all about, like how many people are you seeing that are living a good life by becoming a 100% gambler with nothing else they are do for money?

I like it when ignorant people learn their lessons the hardest way, when I advice you about what awaits you in gambling and you ignore the advice then you are ready for the max pain.
596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you use multiple platforms for betting? on: November 07, 2023, 10:10:35 AM
No, I gamble on many casinos especially new casinos where I can take advantage over their free bet or other promotions. But when it comes to long term sportsbook, I still choose Duelbits because they have odds boost promotions, have many events to bet and the withdrawal fee is low.
But it should be better that you gamble in one particular site of casino so that you may be documented and whenever issues arises you will not be affected, people that gamble in different gambling websites they usually get lose in sometimes because some of the casinos is a scam and especially the new opened casino sites so multiple websites in casinos is not encouraging the way I see casino gambling websites as we said, so it's better to choose a specific gambling websites of casino that you will gambling, if change a websites seven to eight times it will not make you to win, the advantages you are taking in a new gambling site should be the bonus of new casino they perform in other to get people attracted
This is not always the case, I have use Rollbit and Fortune Jack for gambling many times and I still use Stake and Bc Game, that's four, is anyone of these a scam gambling platform? I guess not, using more than one gambling platform exposes you to no risk if you are using the right casinos only,.

The reason why people use more than one gambling platform is because they are losing too much on a casino, I wouldn't blame anyone for doing this because I am used to it already, and I am doing this for not one reason but two.

1. Some games are boring on a casino than the other.

2. When you are devoted to a casino and you keep losing way too much as time goes by, it's surely the right time to try something new.

There is nothing wrong doing this, what will be yours won't pass you and remember that this is all about getting lucky or not, with my experience so far I believe that there is nothing bad about this.
597  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Which wallet is safe for long term Bitcoin storage? on: November 07, 2023, 09:13:51 AM
There are potential risks awaiting hardware wallet users too, most newbies believe that once you get a hardware wallet the risk is over, there is a possibility of hardware going from centralized to decentralized or even from.decentralized to centralized, there is also risks with the hardware wallet software updates.

When all you have to worry about is your private keys and recovery seeds, with hardware wallet there is more, I don't know if anyone read about the recent fake ledger app on a store where people lost a lot of Bitcoin in a matter of days, I think it's either last month or before, the thing is even hardware wallet users are not completely safe.

The only good practical way of storing Bitcoin that I will always support and prefer is paper wallet, by generating the wallet offline and write down your recovery seed, there is no need to want to update your software or anything, this get rid of such things.
598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice for new comers on: November 07, 2023, 08:53:25 AM
Some people are better off without gambling, they always have hard time controlling their emotions when gambling, if you are this type of person it's better you try your luck with something else and not gambling.

You need to be disciplined enough to always be in control of yourself, to avoid falling at the feet of gambling addictions, do not risk high amount of money because you can gamble twenty times on a casino before having a one win, if you are using a big amount you would have wasted it all away because your aim is to net yourself fat reward.

Those who gamble responsibly are always fond of using small money, I still use $10 to gamble yesterday on a gambling platform and I win very little amount, but I am satisfied because earning money isn't the main goal of gambling for me, it's a part but having fun is also a part too.

Do not let others successful gambling stories affect you, most who have won a lot through gambling can't still live without gambling and they always give it all back to gambling, that's one hell of a big problem with gamblers, they don't know how to quit, even after they made that life changing money luckily.
599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's the best advice or should I just let him on: November 06, 2023, 11:04:13 AM
I don't expect the old man to listen to you, I mean how old are you? Who are you to advice someone who have take responsibility on his family through the days of his life before he get to this final stage of his life? It's in old men to not listen to anyone younger than them, so good luck in advicing such person.

And how did you get to know that he is suffering from addiction? I won't care much about becoming a responsible gambler at such age after doing my best on my kids and family, it's time I don't need to worry about the future anymore, so let me be an addict.

That man can be going through the best days of his life with gambling, something he might not be doing when he was young, mind your own business OP because there is nothing left for this man to lose, and also there is nothing left for him desire for, he might sleep and not wake up tomorrow,  I pray he live more longer though, but at such age there isn't anything left worth chasing.

Let him have the fun while he still can.
600  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Nigerians spend $975m daily on online betting on: November 06, 2023, 10:31:13 AM
Recalled that Nigeria population is estimated to be around 200+million and from the information above, over 65 million people are engaged in gambling on a daily basis amounting to over 32% of the country population. With the recent economic crisis and hardship affecting almost all the nations, if large number of people are spending this much on betting, can we say that they relied on gambling to survive?

Wow that is a lot of money for one country alone. With a GDP of 440bn USD, I can't believe that they would bet so much money every single day on betting. Interesting would be also how much tax revenues the gambling industry generates for the country. Now I am wondering where all this money is coming from that people use for gambling. Maybe they people in Nigeria are more lucky and win higher amounts than in other countries? I would expect that a majority fo the 65m gamblers are regular customers and they must be funding their bets from somewhere. With such a large betting market there is probably a high level of competition among the bookmakers and casinos to attract new capital. Also shouldn't this attract international companies to invest in the Nigerian gambling market? It seems very lucrative and as long as the government doesn't want to limit the gambling exposure of the people I would expect that the share of people gambling even rises over time. I am not sure if people will actually rely on gambling to survive, or if they use as a form of entertainment to spend their money earned from their full time job.
Yeah, that's because you don't know, even the gamblers in the country have no idea, many could stop if they found out how much Nigerians are wasting on gambling everyday, and I don't want to blame anyone, the situations of things in the country is very bad, I remember the MMM Ponzi scheme days, do you have an idea how much was lost to this scheme in Nigeria alone? It's very massive, even people that I though are very smart end up participating in the scheme, but they hide like they have nothing to do with such nonsense until the Ponzi exit with peoples money.

Someone in my area said that Nigeria is filled with the fools becauSE they are easily scammed, he said he though the country is full of smart people and I told him that the struggle in the country is why people are falling into scams, when difficulty strikes too hard you will start hoping for better even from the wrong sources, that's when he calmed and said it's true, he is a indian guy who always believe that they are smarter than Nigerians.

I believe that the data OP provided is not accurate enough because gambling in the country is a must for the citizens, there is no job and things are very costly, believing in fantasy is the only option left, as those who have money are capable of living outside the country like most of my black friends who are now in Ghana.
