621  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana Breaking the Internet Again! on: November 20, 2023, 04:50:38 PM
Has anyone come across the news about Solana's upcoming airdrop of Pyth happening today? Here, I made a post about why alts are important and mentioned Solana airdrops in the last paragraph
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474528.msg63178295#msg63178295

Alt are only important for the people that want it and the people tya are running after it, they die immediately people don't focus on it again especially when there is another hot alt in town. What happened to some of the best altcoins on Solana? Didn't they died before now, many liquidity have been drain and the chances of them coming back is zero. The people who bought it are all stuck and can't sell.

Quote
So now, I'm wondering if it will follow a similar path to what happened with BONK. Recall when the Solana community minted the memecoin Bonk, and many benefited from it. Now, Solana plans to airdrop Pyth to over 900 wallets, and various exchanges like Bitget, OKEx, Bybit, and few others are already listing it. I haven't seen any information about Binance listing it though.

I'm just curious, what do you think about this? Do you think Pyth will follow the same trend as Bonk, or will this hype only bring volatility that could potentially wipe out users' assets? Also, which mentioned exchange do you believe will efficiently list Pyth earlier than the rest?

I don't vibe airdrop, they are just impressing the chain and marketing the chain to people to buy the coin(Solana), the moment the event end, the will sell off the coin and airdrop tokens and investors will be left with nothing. Check Bonk, the market cap and the traded volume, you will see that airdrop tokens all have similar pattern, at first they get hype up and in the end they remain flacid like weak tissues.

Instead of buying Solana in anticipation of been selected, why not use the money to buy other coins, remember that their is going to be a lot of farmers that will use bot to get the tokens any how and the chance of you getting the token might even reduce when they use anti bots to weed out other people, be careful of airdrops my friend.

Hello ,


what do you guys think of blockchain.com they are offering on EARN 7 % commision ,  this company has been in the game since 2011 is guess that proves it thrustworthy  company ?

what do you think ?

Let's put the % in one place. Why are you going to risk your coin with a company because you think they have been in the game since 2011, who knows if they are currently illiquid and they are looking for a bail out funds to keep the company running on users fund? I don't think it's a good idea to earn 7% from any company for staking irrespective of the coin service they want to offer you. That said, let's loom into the %.

I want to assume that % is for some altcoins especially altcoins, no sane company will compensate you with 7% because you keep your bitcoin with them. Come to think of it for a second, don't you think companies are there to make profit? They don't have free money to give you, they rather take from you and that staking is a strategy to gain from you guys. It might take time to get what they want from you but I assure you that they are going to gain from you and it will be big. Just do the  matches from their offers and you will understand that it's not worth it.

Up until now I have been just buying and patiently waiting for the bull run but in the last week I have seen 2 altcoins I was interested in pump up 40% in less than 24 hours so want to try make some money and give trading a go.

What is the best site for this in the UK?

I am only going to start with $200 roughly to see what I can turn it into over the next few weeks and months as the market is starting to get very volatile so could be good opportunity to make some extra money which would then mean I can invest more into my long term plays.

Are you trading for real or you are only trying to buy a coin to hold? Buying and holding is different from trading. You can buy an altcoin and hold it depending on the duration you want to hold that asset for, it could be for long term and it could also be for shorter terms and when the coin in particular is pump, you will have some gains but it's not an assurance because altcoins are very unpredictable, it's what you wish you might see happening later in the future.

Trading is great way to collect many % profit but you need the knowledge, you don't have to jump into trading if you don't really understand how to trade and how it work. You need to take your time to learn that but if you already understand trading, then you are good to go. I will suggest you look into Aptos, Sui, Ambitrum and Avalanche. These coins have been rolling out updates recently but please don't take their certainty from my mouth, do your own research.
624  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: So since SOL is $60 - Means FTX is solvent again? on: November 19, 2023, 11:43:44 AM
Correct me if my math is wrong but if I recall from a year ago, FTX was $7B or so short and hence the bankruptcy. When they filed for bankruptcy SOL was valued at around $10 or so.

Right now its $60. And they held $1B worth of SOL, so now they hold $6B so far. There are also other tokens and coins which went up in value. FTT is even $5 today compared to <$1 a year ago. I think they own most of the supply of that token.

So is this another MtGox bankruptcy going out of insolvency due to crypto pumping?

Price manipulation at it peak on Sol and nothing more. Prior to before this pump, there were news from Cointelegraph when FTX where given court order to liquidate sol on the September of this year 2023 and the price tank for 5% and after some days, it recovered and since then, the founders are doing what they know best and that is price manipulation. They are building up the mountain chart so that when they decide to dump, it wouldn't kill Solana price but either later or sooner, the sol under FTX management will be sold because people are waiting to be compensated for their losses.

Solana might be this special to some people that miss the last bull run but I will avoid buying it because it's full of speculations. Sam is in jail awaiting his last trial before they sent him off forever. The case of stolen funds and other misdeed of the employees, it will take at least a year before this is get straight because seems there is no future in this.

Another thing is that, only Solana is pumping, the liquidity is revolves around sol and not altcoins that are under it because if you look closely, Solana doesn't have liquidity to revive the dead altcoins as token under it, the trust is gone for good but who knows, it might come back like ethereum if they build it into something different and cut ties away from FTX.
625  Economy / Economics / Re: How to spend money determines whether you can avoid unnecessary problems on: November 19, 2023, 11:33:58 AM
Most times, the ones who go to fancy and luxury restaurants, bars, etc, are always broke. They do it just ti show off (showing off what they do not have and may never have). Someone who is economical will know very well that cooking and eating at home will save money, sometimes you can pick a lower quality of what you want to get, just because you’re being economical and trying to cover everything you need to.

There is some truth in what you said but honestly, the rest is completely out of context. Restaurant and eatery are costly but we also have reasonably ones that sell good meals at cheaper rate, they don't hike the price of foods the way some do their own and they are even more healthier when you compare them to the ones with high prices. They are also in hirachy, eateries are bigger costlier than restaurant and restaurants are costlier than Buka; Eatery>>>Restaurant >>>Buka, in that manner.

The reason why you see people visit food places to buy food is not because they don't want to cook or doesn't have money or just showing off. The problem is that some people don't know how to cook, they have tried many times but it doesn't work because they are bad cook and has probably in their life never help their mom in the kitchen for once. Some people might want to cook but they don't have the time because imagine where you go to work from 6am to 6pm, it will be difficult to cook as an employed worker that is always busy from Monday to Saturday or even sunfdays.

You should also consider inflation, to buy food items to prepare a pot of soup might even be twice bigger than what you might even spend in restaurant, it's not "might", buying food right now to eat is more economical for a single person, but if you are married, then I think it's okay to consider cooking because it's better and economical to cook than buy food for 4 people.
626  Economy / Economics / Re: How to reduce the price of goods on: November 18, 2023, 09:04:49 PM
We can reduce the price of particular goods by allowing and motivating different production companies to produce those goods in large quantities, there should be a price regulatory agency, their function should be felt, and their duty should be effective, a country like Nigeria doesn't is affected today by the high price of good goods because if lack of production and high cost of production and logistics, the food industry is not adequately handled, we keep on hearing we are going to do this or that all are in vain, in our locality people are ready to contribute their quota but the discouragement from the Government and private sector has made it almost impossible to achieve this mile stone.  

In Nigeria, our main problem in price fluctuations is lack of  price regulations agencies. Why will a country that is operating on socialism and capitalism and then someone who is not in his right sense jump out of his bed and then just feel to increase the price of goods and when others find out that there is increment, they jump into the trend without finding out the reason why and this why price of goods are jumping up the way they like, we need this price regulations except the government want to wake up one day and see that the Naira value will be reading hyper inflation.

I'm not sure for some other countries but in US, the expected number of inflation for the month of October was released last week and it was lower than expected and by that, price of items is going to reduce, even if its not that instantly, it will with time but there is one problem of inflation in nigeria. When the price of goods should go up, it doesn't come down again even if the government looks for a solution to protect people, they will never drop that price below, always citing that they have old stock and they will not sell at lower price. Can you imagine that audacity?Huh
627  Economy / Economics / Re: Imaginary Future on: November 18, 2023, 08:21:32 PM
Do you ever feel like that being after saving or investing for future you forget to live in the present? You don't buy the things you want to or don't go after experiences you want because you'd rather save/invest for future instead.

I have been here and I have past this level of financial timeline. This happen a lot when you invest all you have in the presence into the future and then you become uninterested in some things, sometimes you even have but doesn't just care because you have these believe of making it tomorrow. However, I don't fancy this kind of lifestyle because it make us forget to live the present to focus on the future and we forgot that we only live once, life is Yolo don't forget that alright.

I don't want to live the future and deny myself the present, even though investing is good, just know that nothing in life is assure. If you must invest, do it and make sure you are comfortable and not going around looking unkempt so that even when the money comes around, it wouldn't take you years to blend with the money you make and people will not start to ask you the source of the money gave you money over night.

Eat well so that when your investment ripe in the future, you get the chance to enjoy it and don't end up spending everything on your health, eat well and dress well so that you look good in the sense that when people see you tomorrow looking change, they wouldn't doubt your days of little beginnings.
628  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Math and Gambling on: November 18, 2023, 07:02:36 PM
I'm not good at math, so that may be why I can't win as much as some people. But I guess it's not like that because gambling is not that simple. Maybe there are other things involved in gambling and maybe gambling uses mathematics but we don't know for sure which ones. Or maybe math is used for some gambling games that require skill so if he is very good at math, he might be able to win a lot at that game. Well, maybe you're right. Maybe you are wrong too. But what about luck? That can't be calculated using mathematics, right? We can only wait for luck to come. But mathematics is also used to calculate the percentage probability of winning or losing. But it seems too difficult for me.

When he said maths, he wasn't making emphasis on that kind of maths you are talking about, maybe is actually talking about that real math but the other type of gambling you are talking about doesn't need real math's. All you need is your smart brain to be be able make good selection, good analysis and even if you make the first one and it doesn't work, then you can change strategy to increase your chance of winning, that's only way to enjoy gambling.

In all you do while gambling, make sure that you stick to your winning strategy, you don't have to follow the majority of others because they are playing and winning. I have for once bite the my fingers by that strategy. I was having mid loses in most of my games and then I saw this new guy that was hot that was winning that time, I follow up and instead of me to stake what I can afford to lose, I stake everything and guess what? I lost everything because  stake everything trying to chase my lost under 1 game. Hardluck that I don't pray to experience again in my life.
629  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a mega winner say no to public presentation? on: November 18, 2023, 05:51:30 PM
I created this topic as a result of this news, a young Ghanaian man won 6,000,000 GHC ($501,664) with a bet of 40 GHC. This happened few days ago and it trended on social media. Some of the comments from netizens are that the young man should leave Ghana to avoid being robbed or poisoned.

I'm not sure if you have heard of Mr banks, that guy won something similar on stake but he didn't stake with small amount, he used about $6k to win about $415k in good faith, he trended on social media for some days and man is still walking the way he likes. It's possible that the locality area where he stay might affect him if he continues to stay in that area but trying to leave the whole Ghana will be a big mistake for him because I wonder what he plan to do with the money and how he plan to survive if the money finish.

Quote
I know some of us must have seen the formal presentation of a mega winner to the public by a gambling platform. Most times, these bookies invite media outlets to their offices to cover the ceremony, so that the news could be captured on newspapers, tv, internet etc. My questions are...  Can a bettor reject being unveiled to the public? Are gambling platforms paying an extra money for the publicity?

Deep down, betting platforms are usually sad and feel bad when people win large sum of money from small stake because they think they don't worth and that's why you find out that they want to use such winners as promotional material to let the other players not to give up because hard work pays but we know that out of 1000 small risk staked games, only 1 do make it which is always rare to find.

What I can say about this is, it's depend. If you don't want to be celebrated, I don't think there is such term for casino to openly celebrate you bit if you don't value your privacy and want to show off your luck to the public, they will accept that because the player is serving as a promotional materials and evidence that the platform is paying and people are winning.
630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Streamer wins seem too good on: November 18, 2023, 05:28:28 PM
What am I talking about? Well, at least once you must have stumbled upon a stream where someone plays slots. These streams are normally sponsored by the casino that hosts the games. They pay the streamer a salary and even fund his account. So the casino knows who the streamer is, what his account is and when he'll be playing.

I have seen something similar like this in some casinos some few months ago, it was early this year to be precisely. What this guys were doing is that, they were paying influencers to promote their betting platform and in return pay back huge money for endorsements. What the platform does was that, they created two sections, one for real players and the for influencers to use for advertisement. The influencers segment was fake and they never had any loss when they demonstrate the platform to players but when you use the main segment, you lose times without number. This is to tell you that not all endorsed platforms are to be trusted.

Quote
The thing is, that these streamers get big wins so often that it seems very unlikely for their streaks to be happening at random.

We would know this as casinos say in their terms that playing with fun money does not incur the same level of randomness when playing with real money, which is really code for saying that fun money results to more flashy wins when you really can't win anything. So it's not unlikely that streamers are also getting some similar treatment as they don't play with their own money. This can attract their viewers to deposit and gamble with real money of course, but they'll very rarely get the same results.

This is something I've tried to highlight to my friends that want to get  into gambling, but overall not many people seem to be aware.
What has your experience been? Has this affected you or your friends?

You can't convince everyone and don't expect others to yield to your opinion, if you tell them and they refuse to listen, then you let them be for that particular time, when it is time for them to learn, they will learn and when they do, hope it doesn't affect them badly but you must let them decide something because they say that experience is the best teacher.

Majorly, only newbies fall into this streamers because I can't say and I have not seen any person comes out bodly to say that he has won something beautiful from this guys. If you check the streamers, they have something in common and it's that they don't condemn platforms they advertised. Even real platforms that are well reputed get casted for their mistakes but streamers are always perfect.

There is also another man called James Simons, who is named the greatest gambler of all, he made more money using math than Chris Ferguson, James net worth is over 20 billions, I was shocked, because I use to think it's impossible to gamble using any skills, this is a skill on a another level, I am mad that I am just knowing this not too long ago.

School is not important as 96% of what you learn won't be used in the real world to make money, but this 4% left is making a lot of people rich, math and gambling seems to go with each other, what do you guys think? Am I wrong or right?

When you want to make money, look into the society and find one particular problem and then create a solution to them, you will make a lot of money. Most of these prominent men you mentioned of their creativity using math's to find easy route for gambling actually did the same thing and they made cool money that history will forever remember as we are even discussing right now.

Learning in school is a different concept and squeezing it into use is another concept, they will teach you all need and the rest is left for you to figure out. Look at programming language for instance, you will learn everything from the beginning to the last part and they show you working example but after that, you are left on your own to figure it out what to do with it. This is also why we should hight against people that says school is scam, this not true even in a society where education is poor, the reason why they say this words is to discourage others because they didn't think out of the box to utilize their own skills.

632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 17, 2023, 11:07:41 PM
This is something I've always been wondering about. Gamblers tend to have a league, be it basketball football or any famed sport, that they tend to love most. For instance in the USA American football and NBA betting tend to be very popular, while in south and south east Asia countries cricket is also very popular among other sports. So people tend to have a league in a certain sport that they know the most about, have a favorite team in, know the players etc.

So what's your experience with this. When your league is in break, do you tend to try to follow other leagues that you're familiar with, or will you gamble on anything really? I'm interested to hear what other people have to say in this matter.

For me personally, I try to limit my gambling to teams where I know at least some players, because otherwise it's easy to get carried away. Really in my opinion, gambling on leagues and sports that you know little to nothing about, only increases the edge against you.

I don't force myself to bet when leagues are on break but I think it's very common for players to at most has a 1 month break, the only time they rest from league is when they are injure, if they are not playing for the League, they should be playing national games. So, I think it's easy to make analysis on national games to bet your favorite team after carefully checking their historical performances and current form.

You can also switch to other like cricket and basketball, that's what many of bettors do and it's more easy to make money on basketball than football according to some analyst which I tried and comfirmed but as of recently, things are not really going well in that games. When you are about win something will just happened that will spoil everything even in die minutes which beg the question if basketball is a control game or not.

However, as I had stressed earlier, if major leagues go to break, kindly go to break too because trying to force bet will only force loss on you which will leave you with nothing but losses. But if you are that good in predictions, it's easy to navigate through nationals and enjoy your gambling.
633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 17, 2023, 07:41:15 PM
If you walk into a casino with $200 and you start playing with that $200 and you win $200, get the hell out, you simply just doubled your money, take your goddamn leave, what do you think you wanna do? Win a million dollars? You will go home empty handed.

This is the harsh reality many gamblers don't want to accept, they don't want to accept the real sense of gambling, it's the house that always win and that's why we often hear that a person go broke from being a rich person to a poor wretched person without nothing again but when last did we hear that a gambling company when bankrupted because they allow people to play and couldn't payout. It's only in a rare occasion you see that happy.

Quote
The next thing that rings in your ear is you can still win another or more, that's the devil whipsering, the art of gambling is knowing when to stop.

The only game where you have some power is in Poker, not the online one, this is the best game in casinos, as making profits off of bad players is possible.

As for Other games, You are at the mercy of the house.

Devil may means different things to different people, I think what drives them to play repeatedly is greed and when they are too lucky for the first time, a gambler that struggle t lo make something from playing will understand and when their games don't come home. They relax and try the next day but a guy who didn't do much is trying win domrt

No one actually visits the casino to have fun, you gotta trick the mind, I like to think of it has a fun night out and I am going to spend a few hundred dollars and have a good time and if I win it's a bonus, like I've said, you gotta trick the mind.

Always remember this, you are there to win a game where its statistically impossible to win at, it's not impossible to not understand this about gambling, a wise man once said, "if you want to make money with gambling, own a casino".

People are only using that as an excuse. Majority of gamblers are drivrn by the money and nothing like fun, there maybe few well to do persons buts its hard for a poverty guy to  gamble show you.. Many casino you see display in the movies are not what they show on TV especially until you need one. I will always address people in the good ways to live gambling as a source of information.
634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 16, 2023, 11:02:39 PM
Yeah, you are right. Chelsea have been playing brilliantly, their last four matches have been against Arsenal, Brentford, Tottenham, and Manchester City. Chelsea played well and were able to draw Arsenal. From the way they played in the match, everyone believed Chelsea was back to form and they would be able to win any club that came their way, but everyone got disappointed by Chelsea's performance after playing against Brentford, and everyone lost confidence in them. People didn’t believe they would draw or win Tottenham, but everyone has been surprised with the way Chelsea have been playing since they played against Tottenham, in which Chelsea was able to score four goals in the match.

We have seen teams do this many times without number. They doi it in the beginning of the season, some dobit half way of the season and some do it in the end of the season. Chelsea are doing their own in the early stage which is a good sign of progressions but will they continue like this forever. They have impressed me with their last few matches but you will see them soon start their usual rubbish when you need them the most to give you good deals for bets.

If they can win 3 matches in addition to what they have won last 4 weeks will be great for them, they might even be dragging the 4th place soon but the question is that can they dy do it? That's a question without answer but in my mind, I know what they can do for now. I hope they turn new leave and stop disgracing their fans though, at least they will have what to use for defensive arguments and offensive arguments.Grin
635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: November 16, 2023, 10:54:24 PM
It's just speculation because Madrid don't seem to want to be too exposed about who is going to be the coach or the players they are targeting so their news even though there are a lot of rumors but in the end it's like a wind that has no direction because Madrid always has a way of closing themselves about the rumors that befall them.
At the momentMadrid already have some names for coaching candidates but there is still no further information about this and indeed the names Xabi or Nagelsmann are also only a condition which is only based on rumors.

If Anceloti will be going to Brazil, they will keep it silent and make it official when the season is over but I have been seeing that on Meida since June of this year, and it's giving me doubts about the transfer. Or perhaps they are playing bloggers to persuade Anceloti to come and take the job of coach by fire by force. If that's true, the I will say it's not the best way to go about it and it will only antagonise him more him more of accepting the deal.

Let's say the speculations are even true, I think the man has done a better job to forther put Real Madrid in good place as it were before, nobody comes to a club and stay forever but Real Madrid like doing that, they give their players long contract especially if he is young and very talented, they will used and used them for their own goals until it's of no use to them, maybe that's why Mbape has refused to come the club.
636  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 16, 2023, 10:11:32 PM
I think Dortmund would qualify from the group also PSG is in good position to qualify even after being beaten by Newcastle, although it's too early to draw conclusion, I think Newcastle has done very well to be in the UEFA champions league in the first place and have not made a bad showing of themselves being in the champions league after a very long time of absence.

PSG and their Coach has started to blend and I think there is more excitement to come from PSG and I think they would also do very well in coming matches. To be Frank this group is a very tough one.

When Napoli had their first appearance in the Champions League after many years of try and failed, they utilize it very well, until they were kick out of the Quarter final but they represented the team very well. Newcastle had the same opportunity to write their name in history of the Champions League after many years of try and failure, they are just getting worse in domestic league. I don't want to assume because they share the almost the same point with Milan and they could make it to the Europa league, they will go home after his group stage.

Dortmund and PSG are now the front runners of group F but I don't have any skeptism regarding their knockout spot in the Champions League. PSG will be playing against Newcastle but I have seen this that PSG will win this one. The only big obstacles of PGS is that their last UCL group stage match is between them and Dortmund and that is going to be intense game to watch.

Yes, there are only 2 matches left, of course Lens will work hard in the match against Arsenal to widen the point difference with PSV, of course we all know that they currently have the same points, namely 5 points. Of course Arsenal is not an easy opponent to beat.

Of course, this is the last hope for Lens to continue to exist in the next match. If Lens suffers another defeat, Psv gets full points against Sevilla, Lens hopes of appearing next will be dashed. Because PSV match 6 match will be against Arsenal and that too at Psv home ground, of course with full support PSV will not waste the opportunity to achieve maximum results or get full points.

That's if Arsenal are going to allow them to pass through their legs and have that point they are looking for. One thing about Arsenal of this season that I know is that they don't relent because they had what they need, they will destroy Lens when there time comes because they also need to showcase their strength in the Champions League to frustrate other teams that are coming their way in the domestic league, it will strength their energy towards other teams.
637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a gambler be a good bitcoin trader? on: November 16, 2023, 09:29:33 PM
I base my question about whether a gambler can become a good bitcoin trader, because both of them share one factor which is risk. A gambler is a risk taker, he stakes his money without knowing the outcome of the game that he is about to play. There is no guarantee that he will win, yet he goes ahead to play, knowing fully well that he can lose his bet. Same thing with a bitcoin trader, he goes ahead to engage in trading knowing fully well that the market can turn around  negatively for him, making him to lose his bitcoin. Yet he goes ahead to trade in the hope of making profit.

There is some misconception of trading and gambling in your explanation, gambling and trading both involve risk but in trading you can still runaway from the risk when you are in doubt but you can't do that in gambling when you are in doubt expecting result, it will give you true of false. In short, in trading you can you use stop loss to reduce risk of market crashing but you cannot do that in gambling.

In addition, Bitcoin trader involves the understanding of the market and learning the indicators but gambling is not like that, you can't even learn gambling, individual opinions is what people risk own and if it's works, they withdraw the profits and enjoy and if doesn't it, which very bad thing to indulge on as a micro level.

Although there are some differences between the two, like most gambling depends mainly on luck. You play and let luck decide fate of the game, that is the risk factor, because the gambler doesn't have any control or influence to determine the outcome of the bet. Also a bitcoin trader doesn't have any control or influence to determine how the market swings, he takes the risk to trade his bitcoin without knowing the outcome whether it'll be profit or lose. The diffidence between the two is that a bitcoin trader can predict the market, while a gambler can not predict the outcome of a bet, except in sports bet.

So if a gambler where to go into bitcoin trading, do you think that the experience of taking risk in gambling will be an added advantage to face the risk of bitcoin trading?

When a gambler try trading the first time and gambly played like base on what he feels without putting others in contributions, it will take them 3 days to change from that lifestyle because they will lose everything before they know. A real gambler that loves trading will have to go and learn first before even checking for what trading is all about, what are the indicators to use and many more.

Recently, I've had some issues with bankroll management. Although I've been gambling for years, sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option. However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well. My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.


If you have been a gambler for long, you should understand how this thing works better, it wouldn't take you to this level before you ask this and I think something must have been wrong somewhere. It's either you are always bored  Angry or you have more free time than your work hour, if you occupy yourself with other relevant and important things, you will have less time to wager all the time, when you realize that you make lost in those windows, you will even be discourage to bet unless you are planning on doing giveaway to betting platforms.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?

To me, this is simple. Don't cross over your limit especially when you realize that your loss is betting bigger. Don't think of having luck or thinking that because you got lucky and rollover the last time, it will happen again. Take a walk and exit gambling platform and do the things that kills your time without spending a single fiat to gamble for games. You will improve with time and you must also learn to forget the past losses.

Never directly follow others. We always make the mistake of wanting to follow others directly. We always have a thought that if someone else can succeed then why can't I succeed. Just as we don't have to turn our backs on other people's failures, we shouldn't get so excited about other people's success. Profit and loss in gambling will completely depend on your luck and your gambling strategy. If you have enough experience in gambling and if you are a skilled gambler then surely you can do well in gambling so you don't have to look at others. We must learn from others' mistakes and learn from our successes. Learning from the mistakes of others When we make the same mistakes, the lessons learned from other people's mistakes will be useful to you and we will not make the same mistakes again.

One thing some gamblers don't know is that they don't know that betting platforms enjoy it when people follow each other. When people bets and more follow each other, when the source didn't go as expected, the stake becomes loss and the rest of the people follow the same. In that moment, the casino will gain x amount of people that bet that amount. Now when next time is time to try again, only few will play because the initial bet discourage them but the betting platform will let him or few wins and that means they are paying less and winning more from gullible gamblers.

I don't copy others or trying to tap into other gambler success story, my style my way and my peace of mind. I know what I can carry and I know my skills is okay because I know what I can do without over stressing myself. Gambling is a luck and skills but my skills don't fail as other copy bets might affect me.

Actually, even an illegitimate child has the right of inheritance. So a legitimate child even if the person is an irresponsible gambling addict can claim an inheritance. What more to a regular but responsible gambler, of course, they'll have more rights to claim inheritance like a business for example.

Except maybe in some countries where freedom is limited and betting is not allowed as they have their own different laws from most modern countries.

Personally, if my parents do not want me to inherit their assets because I bet casually, I'm not going to question it. But when it comes to assets they only inherit from their parents and other bloodlines, I'm absolutely going to contest it. But they can sell it to avoid inheriting it from a child they do not like.

Things happen and we have to respect the nature sometimes because you can do more than what you can give. There are some children that can be control and there are some that no matter how you force them to be something, they will choose their path and to me, if they are not below 18 years, they should be allow to live their lives as they fit, whatever happens should be their responsibility because after all, there is consequences for every action.

There are even some responsible children that inherited good amount money from their parent and as soon as they received it, they spend everything under a month, year and some few years on women and alcohol, isn't that painful and worse than even gambling that some see as bad character. Gambling addiction is a bad behavior that can be taken away with sense and not a completely bad behavior to stop a child from inheritance.

If I'm the parent and he is yet to change, I will make sure he change and the only reason I will give him the inheritance is if I see changes. I know some people will say he is going to change because of the money but I will split it into 25% to be distributed in 10 years so that he doesn't go back to gambling after giving him everything.
