There are yet to be discovered weird leagues and championships that we have yet to discover. It would be a shame for grown ass men to participate in this type of league. This should be a women and children only competition. I am thinking about the health consequences of the impact of multiple pillow impacts on the head. I would like to know if there are bookies that lists this as one of the sports that bettors can place a wager on.
642  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons you should not gamble on too many things at once. on: October 05, 2023, 07:19:48 AM
If you have the habit of playing and gambling on different sports and game, I think it is not good because of some few reasons like;
YOU WILL SPEND MORE MONEY ON GAMBLING.
YOU CAN BECOME MORE EASILY ADDICTED THAN A GAMBLER WHO PLAYS ONLY ONE GAME. 
YOUR CHANCES OF LOOSING WILL INCREASE, BUT YOUR CHANCE OF WINNING MAY NOT INCREASE.
YOU WILL SPEND MORE TIME GAMBLING.
Which other reason?

I do not agree with all that you have said because you have generalized.
I can paly or gamble on different sports and game and be totally fine. I will create a budget to solve the problem of spending more money. I will alternate between sports betting this week and playing poker or Roulette the upper week. I know that I can loose but what the hell if I gamble with money that I already can afford to lose and if I do that under a strict budget. I spend just 1hour to 2 hours playing per week. I do not see how this is too much time. The bottom line is to exercise strict discipline.

Lets discuss wisely and if something related to this post please point it out.. Maybe would devote time to study what has been written over there.
I do not regret whatever the result of my either small or large bet is. Gambling involves risk and there are times when I am feeling lucky. At these times, my hunger for risk taking is high. It is during this times that I slightly increase the percentage of my gambling budget from 5% to 10% and rarely 15%. I do all of these not under peer pressure but base on my risk management. Maybe what gamblers call greed is what I call a thrilling seeking adventure where we never know the outcome but we love the experience in itself.

The outcome of the majority of casino games is mostly controlled by luck rather than ability. Examples that are often used include craps, roulette, and slot machines. Players wager on numerous outcomes in these games, and the casino has an inherent advantage that ensures they will profit in the long term.
Casino gaming is a popular source of entertainment. Instead of looking at it as a means of making money, players should approach it with the intention of having fun.

First the odds are against you whenever you play at a casino. You are literally playing against the house. The chances of winning doesn't depend on luck but on a) randomness b) experience 3) skill.

For randomness, it is the way the casino has set the RNG while for experience, you know that the higher your wager the higher your probability of winning. With experience comes a common sense that you wager with money you can afford to lose. With skill, you know that tables games is more a game of skill.

There are different types of gambling ads and they are allowed to run without restrictions in my country. I noticed that they always end with "gamble responsibly". But they make no effort to ensure that their custyrw doing so.
Another type of gambling ad that is allowed is lottery ads. This counta as gambling right? There are ads on them too but people don't take them too seriously like they do with conventional gambling.

648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 03, 2023, 01:56:34 PM
These type of write ups always end up falling on deaf ears. We don't need to be dishing out these things anymore to gamblers. The best way that humans learn is through a painful, bitter, experience. Somehow I think that is how we are wired to learn from negative experiences because they came with more meaning and hit us at the very core of our being.

Gambling with your kids college funds is not even the worse story about irresponsible gambling I have heard. We should be disciplined enough to know when to self -exclude ourselves from casinos. No one who has ever done this has had any reason to regret their decision.

650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Gambling Sportybet (Company) Refund the Money? on: October 03, 2023, 01:01:08 PM
In the gambling platform, there are different stories every day across the world. This 16 years Nigerian citizen used his school fees to play bet and was planning to win big amount so he can use it to solve other problems but along the line he loss everything and he went to the contact of the company and begged them to refund the money back to him because it is his school fees. Is it possible for the company to refund the money to the boy?
The gambling internet is littered with these stories. Some of which are even worse than these and there will be more.

I want to put it that the school lost to gambling is the tuition the boy has paid for his naivety and silly just to put it mildly. For the rest of his life, he won't ever forget thos experience but whether this painful experience will make him quit gambling until he is mature enough, that is why we do not know.

And no gambling company will refund any money lost no matter the story that has been told. It is always stated on gambling websites for their customers to gamble responsibly. Therefore, they cannot be held liable for any loss incurred.
651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: October 03, 2023, 12:12:18 AM
Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble

Can you share your first experience playing gambling? and who told you about gambling sites?

I myself know gambling sites from my own friends. I idly and try to deposit. Starting from playing with a little money, after a while I didn't know how much money I had spent playing gambling


My first experience with gambling didn't come with the name or knowledge that the activity I was engage in or agreed to participate in after staking something for a price was called gambling.

Where I come from, we sometimes stake something when we engage in an activity or that the other may or ourselves would take it seriously. We do not do it always but if we want the other person to take the game seriously, we put a price tag to it - "the winner takes it all".

It was not until, I began to become exposed that what we did started to get its name. From there we now moved to the more organized and sophisticated form gambling.

653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 02, 2023, 11:33:48 PM
My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention
I answer to this question is I don't know.
If I put an age limit to my gambling it means that I am considering myself as a gambling addict. Maybe someday, gambling may no longer give me the thrills as it right now and I may find some other thing else that could replace it - fishing, hunting, or archery. For now, we continue to enjoy our responsible gambling knowing that someday we may or may not continue with it. So we live in the moment and make the best out of it.
654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 02, 2023, 12:36:12 PM
Gamblers are telling stories about how they got banned because they are winning too much, I will like to tell you not to believe everything people tell you, these stories typically have another side of the story, there is a high probability that these gamblers have broken some rules along the way.
Some of the reasons casinos ban gamblers are cheating, disorderly conduct, underage gambling, suspicion of money laundering, non-payment of debts and high-stake gambling in the case of some prominent gambling personalities. And you know that the higher the stake, the higher the probability of winning. So yea technically winning too much money can make a casino ban you.

I do not take sides with either the casinos or the player. I know that there are very terrible casinos out there that will bend the rules to their favour. It is a business so they must make profit at all means even at the expense of customers dissatisfaction. There are also gamblers who try to cheat the casinos to win. So I do not take sides.

655  Economy / Economics / Re: How do you manage your finances and family if your income is low range? on: October 02, 2023, 07:48:52 AM
There are many people around us, where their income is not enough to manage a family how do you manage your family and economy? There are many people who manage their family very well even though their income is very low in their personal life, how do you manage it?
Life has dealt many of us with its cards. The difference between the two narratives in the story is that one person decides to play it the best way he can.

If you are a low income earner who has family responsibilities, to manage you well your resources doesn't happen by chance but through conscious effort. Planning and the right strategy. If you do not live in your own house, you know that the most important thing is your shelter. So you have to pay your rent. Next is feeding. You need to be able to either stock up the most essential stable food through bulk buying and you can have a small garden in your yard where you grow vegetables. Schooling. You can home-school your kids if you don't have the means or rather put them in a good school where the fees is affordable and supplement it with teaching them too. Next is clothing. There are thrift stores where you can get durable clothes for less than a dollar.

Basically, live below you means and strategically plan.
656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths on: October 01, 2023, 03:01:56 PM
Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.
Gambling among the youths cannot be prevented or stopped. The youths cannot stop looking for quick money because quick money is what the whole world celebrates over slow money. Gambling may not be the solution out of poverty but that element of hope that it gives the youth is the thread that they hang unto. They are quick to tell you how a friend of a friend made millions from a bet and that someday it is going to be their turn.

But why would I blame the youths. In my country, the social media influencers who advertise these sports betting sites and casinos do it for the quick money too. Do they care if the youths are gambling responsibly? No. They just want to do the 20 minutes sports advert and get their millions.
657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Changed the game you gamble on? share your story. on: October 01, 2023, 02:25:47 PM
Is it the game you started playing as a gambler that you still play till now?
Mine is the other way around.

I used to play blackjack but not anymore. Not I play mostly slots online.

Is there any gambler in this place who was used to playing a particular game before but never was successful winning or did not win enough and then made up their mind that it was time for a change in the game you gamble on. Which game did you change from, and what did you change to?
While I stopped playing blackjack was because I moved countries and since I don't enjoy the online blackjack, I switched to a game where I can play by myself. I made some pretty big wins but a change of location made me stop.

Quote
how long did you play the game that you are deciding to stop playing because of the bad outcomes?
3.5years no bad outcome really but that I don't like playing blackjack virtually. I think it is more entertaining and serious when you are at the table with others than in your room alone playing it virtually.
658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 01, 2023, 02:09:38 PM
Indeed Brighton and Hove Albion's  heavy defeat away to Aston Villa was a very interesting and entertaining match to watch. Brighton before the game bad were better than the host in terms of overall performance in the English Premier League since the start of the season as they had already won 5 and most just one of their first 6 league games of the season while Aston Villa had won four and lost two league games before the game. So many had expected the match to be a very difficult one for Aston Villa but instead they made the game look very easy from the first half of the game.
Ollie Watkins was just on fire in that game as he scored three goals and had one assist against Brighton.
It was a historic win for Aston Villa. The win has given them an advantage in the Premier League moving them to the fourth position. If they should continue like this, by the end of the season they will finish top 3 in the league. I commend the coaching style of Unai Emery. Football fans who watched the match knows that his style of coaching is a contributing factor to the star performances of his team. Also these players Martinez, Konsa, Luiz, Kamara, Diaby, and Watkins are strong pillars in the team. With them, I know that Aston Villa can challenge the top four teams in the Premier League.
