I am not totally surprised at real Madrid performance over the weekend because I have learn in football that anything can happen and that is why it a game of Luck so congratulations to Almera for at least making the first goals score, despite losing the match at the end with a 1 goal difference to me this mean alot for the club who is at the bottom of the league table.

Sure Real Madrid was able to record a total of 3 goals in the match making them the winner when Almera only hard 2 goals but with alot of positive performance which is a pointer to what the club will do in their next match so for that, we give it to them and let see how luck favor them at the end despite losing today.

You shouldn't gamble what you cant afford to lose. It stinks but is a good lesson to learn, so hopefully you don't make the same mistake twice.
That is wise advice. But there are still many people who gamble more than they can afford, and it ends up giving them problems. In fact, they know that they can gamble using the money they can afford, but the problem is that when they have been gambling for a long time, they forget to control themselves. That makes them spend money that exceeds their limits, so they experience more losses.

And there are still people who gamble by borrowing money from other people. It will also cause bigger problems for them because when they lose, they will have difficulty paying back the money they borrowed. And they will get frustrated and have to find a way to get their money back.
You are right, we all know the limits on the use of funds in gambling but when we are playing in gambling then addiction will take control to set limits on the use of unlimited funds for gambling, all gamblers experience this because they are affected by various impacts of gambling which will deposit funds again to gamble because you will not accept defeat and hope that the loss can be recovered from high bets, so you apply for a loan from a friend or even the bank to recover the loss from gambling but you have made a big mistake that if you lose you will lose everything and you have to pay off the debt and pay interest to the bank for several years.

That's the real problem unable to face and overcome that defeats you will keep on trying and deposit more money when you suffer from losing streak, thinking that in your next deal you'll be able to win it back, but unfortunately, the outcome will continue to suffer from more losing streak and unable to win anything back.

You should overcome that feeling not to dwell much with your losing session but instead try to move forward and accept that loss.
One thing I like doing most is to always take a walk away when I am done with my time of gambling, this is because if you want to follow the outcome of your gambling session to determine what amount you deposits it's then means that you will be doing alot in the wrong direction and just as the tilted the thread loans comes as a result of inability of the gambler to quite gambling when he has already exusted his money.

This could be as a result a heavy loses, and excessive depositing, which on it own is a bad character already, but when it extended to taking loans, that have transformed into full blown gambling problems.
763  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 21, 2024, 04:24:22 PM
When people see how others make money from gambling, how they win millions or easily increase their deposit in a short time, then those people are the first victims of addiction. People who are greatly dependable from money - first one to get addicted. Those who gamble for fun, most likely wont get addicted, as they can switch to something other to get fun. Once again, most weak, unprotected stratum of the population are affected most.

That is the dependants. Yes those that depends on the addicts for money are likely to be the worst hit because they will need money and if the addict is not winning to provide for them then they will suffer. However, the addict will also be affected because they are the first hit of their inability to win and usually those that depend on someone for money may feel the heat of not getting the money if the provide pretend not to have the money but if genuinely the money isn't available then the provider will feel the effects more, in this case the addict will feel it if he is not winning.
The truth still remains that, those that depends on an addicts for money and life sustannace are most at risk, this is because once someone become uncontrollably addicted to things that takes money from they pocket like gambling it becomes hard for them to hold money for any other thing, and my advice to dependant is to stop depending on others because even a none addicts can't even be depended on talk more of someone who is already addicted to gambling, so if I am looking fpr the person who is mostly effected by act of gambling addictions, my mind will Alway go first to the person himself.

Because the victim are the worst hit before any other person, around him, this is why it we mostly preach against sliding I to addictions at some point because it ruin it victims life.

Just for clarity, is this thread worth being in the bitcoin discussion board, because I don't see anything as related to bitcoin.

Back to the question, signature just like every other form of advisement, is sponsorship comes from the companies that are advertised, and the manager is just like the HRM who coordinates the the marketing here, and regardless of what the participants are discussing as long as they are wearing the companies signature, they get paid for every posts in acceptable boards and thread's.
765  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: January 21, 2024, 03:33:03 PM
I don't think gambling can change anyone's bad manners or behavior.. Gambling is an addicting activity. doing it within a reasonable time lime is fine. but if someone gets addicted to it. I might worsen his manners even more like every other habit out there, so don't take gambling as a therapy  Wink

Does any therapist even recommend gambling for anything? Like, because you are passing through some kind of mental challenge, they will now recommend gambling to you? I don't think that's possible, but it's possible for a therapist to tell a gambler to gamble once in a while in order to reduce his stress and boredom, which is recommendable.
 
But on the aspect of those who are already violent in nature and get themselves involved in any manner of ill behaviour, it's highly advisable for such a person to be taken out of gambling because the emotional stress that gambling can add to the person's current state means they can end up performing the unthinkable. The best practice for such a person is social gathering for them to socialise and adopt others way of life.

Really I haven't seen any therapist that refer patients to gambling to solve any of they issues before and for that,it clear that gambling can't be taken as recreational activities since it own effects can also affect the individual, so for that gambling is mostly refer to as fun because of the games excitements sometimes and this have no recommendations for any positive outcome of anyone is already facing issues as anxiety stress or whatever  nature of mental help needed.

Gambling is fun when an adult plays the game just to pass time and enjoy the process, and not anything close or near doctor prescriptions since no doctor will do that at some point in time.
766  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: In Search of Financial Freedom: The Answer Lies With Bitcoin, Not Stablecoins on: January 20, 2024, 10:21:26 PM
Financial freedom is not about the currency you use. it's about you sleeping idle doing nothing but still making money. it's called financial freedom. making money and being able to spend it both offline and online.
Really I think you may have a misconceptions about what financial freedom means because saying that you sleeping without doing anything and still have money is what financial freedom means in reality may be wrong.

To me, financial freedom is a state of mind, investment and excess cash flow, where your money will be working for you, this is the best state of financial independence, but this level can't be achieved by a lazy person who is looking for ways to keep himself in bed just being lazy, that is not independent in any form.

Also if you hold a stable coin/currency of any form, it will only become inflatary and deflaterry if the market force are for or against such currency and this is what, results into currency inflation and weakness against each other.

767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The worst situation you're in that you regret that you learn about gambling on: January 20, 2024, 10:04:46 PM
When I gamble all my income at a goal thinking that the game is a sure game for me, but with in some seconds everything changed and the bet lost, Which result in me losing a huge amount of money, at that point, I regret ever getting moved in gambling in the first place.

By that time I now recall the warning that is always given for gambling here in the forum which always state that we should be careful about gambling since it can ruined one life or mess you up real bad, this made us obvious to note that you will record alot of such situations and at some point you end up in regretting your actions.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 20, 2024, 09:23:46 PM
Crystal Palace is weak to the extent of not scoring at least a one goal from their opponents arsenal, I think that this is the highest score arsenal has scored or win a team since this tournament, but I don't know for others but since tournament arsenal have not scored five zero to another if I'm not mistaken, I bet this match goal goal thinking that Crystal Palace will at least score one goal but they became lazy to the extent of arsenal scoring first and second goal and they did not understand where the loop hole is from and arsenal continues to score third goal, Crystal Palace is a disappointment in today's match
I wouldn't say that crystal palace was a disappointment as you said, because, there was never a time I was expecting them to beat Arsenal, you and I know that what would have been beyond shocking is if crystal palace had beaten Arsenal, or the match had ended in a draw, then we all will probably find Arsenal to be a very disappointing team, but here, the game ended just as most of us expected, though to be honest, i knew Arsenal would win, but not to the tone of scoring 5 goals, and no single goal from crystal palace, this takes me back to what I said in the other Premier league thread on this board that, it looks to me that crystal palace did not prepare themselves well to face Arsenal, because if they had, they should have atleast given Arsenal a very tough time, and Arsenal would not have scored up to five goals, even though they(Arsenal) would have still won at the end of the match.

Anyways, they say a man's food is another man's poison, crystal palace loss is Arsenal's win, and I did place a bet on Arsenal to win the match, so, it is also my win as well. 😁
For me Asernal and Crystal palace are not in the same category as clubs, and for that, we have to accept the overall fact that if we see that crystal palace was able to beat Asernal in any match be it now or in the future, it will only happen by miracle because Asernal is too big for Crystal to defeat just like that, so for that I never expected any positive outcome from the match and I am nit surprise to see that Arsenal win the match with multiple goals.

But also Crystal palace as an upcoming club who is hungry for records, will take any club by surprise when and if their have such opportunities to deliver and make any first attempt just like in some of the few matches.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 20, 2024, 09:14:58 PM
Yeah! You should be allowed to spend your hard-earned cash as you see fit, without judgment from others.  As long as you're not gambling away money that isnt yours, then there should be no issue.  Point is, money gets people feelin' some type of way so don't judge others because you dont know their story.  Just focus on your own wallet and everything will be gravy.

But there are somethings that we choose and like doing on privacy and won't want anyone to get involved on it majority of us, despite the fact that we work and own our money, we still spend it with discretions, so for that there are some lifestyle that we may counsel from others amd making us have am alter ego which is what majority do and experience.

Just like others have mentioned how many people around them don't know that they gamble but in reality their call gambler's which is what we are discussing.
770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: January 20, 2024, 07:17:29 PM
        -   If you really see that your capital money is growing in gambling because you know and are sure that there will be income from it, you will not stop it. It is true what you said: there is no reason for you to stop if it is producing profit for you.

Then, most of all, you are happy with what you are doing because it helps you. But of course, if you are always losing, you should stop if necessary as a gambler.
Someone who sees an opportunity to win will try to continue gambling. They no longer think about losing but instead think about how they can win. This requires awareness to see what they have done from gambling and how much money they have used so that they can decide to reduce their gambling activities or continue gambling but with stricter restrictions. But if there is someone who can get close to them and tell them that they are too deep in gambling, the gambler may be able to realize that they are too deep in gambling and need to reduce their gambling activities so that they will not lose any more money. People around them can see that they are gambling excessively, so they are the ones who should provide advice to reduce their gambling activities.

advice you say? Well sorry to tell you this, but I think advice really doesn't work for gamblers that can't really control their gambling habits, but although this particular feeling of the gambler wanting to continue his playing after hitting a figure that isn't satisfactory is like a common disease among other gamblers and it the person himself that can discipline himself to actually stop this act.
the only advice I can give to anyone in such situations is to make sure you have a set amount and limits to how much you gamble or spend on sport bets and the numbers of bets you select each time you doing so, this is very important and at some point very crucial for the overall well being of the gambler who thinks that he cant handle his gambling time, because alot of gamblers can't handle themselves without have a guidelines that guide their actions at some point in time.

So for a safe time while gambling or betting, you need to have a set rules and limited timing on how much you spend on those bets this is the only to stay ahead of every possible possibilities of resulting into an addict in the long run.

I never expected bitcoin to act anything otherwise to what it current price and market conditions are, many times, it is proven already that bitcoin doesn't follow any particular directions and at that, bitcoin would just act accordingly to what pressure the market positions brings it ways.

So it was just based on speculations that many believe that bitcoin ETF approval will trigger the market uptrend, well bitcoin is not a rocket science tools and for that, bitcoin mostly never follow the hypes and trends but then this can have a long terms effects on the price of bitcoin in the long run.
772  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: January 19, 2024, 11:58:16 PM
And some emotional twist might happen along the road, even how responsible you are, chances of being carried away and be fall from that adrenaline can still happen to you, there are times that even how limited you are, but when you feel that you got that game, you'll gonna exceed from your budget and simply regret things out,.

The good catch is you will be able to cope up and forget about it and just move forward and take it as another bad day inside gambling.

How can anyone be a responsible gambler if he get that emotional twist. A responsible gambler is always practical with the outcome as he knows the outcome may be positive and most of the time be negative. I disagree with you analogy as in responsible gambling you as in a gambler is responsible for the outcome. A responsible gambler would never try to go and exceed the budget as doing so he would be into more debt than not doing it.
Any gambler that have emotional problems won't be a good gambler and will not making the right decisions at some point and many in that category will always be at a losing end since they emotions control most of they decisions making processes and for sure having a mood swings is already a bad negative attitudes on it own that will Robb off on all your decisions making process since you are going to be thinking in that directions, instead being logical in your thoughts and actions.

So as a responsible gambler, we need to overcome all form of influence and emotional crisis that can affect our gambling experience at the end of the day, because in terms of realities, gambling comes with alot of pressure and at that one need to make plans for such things and time that exposed the gambler to such risk and how to manage the risk all the time.
773  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 19, 2024, 11:49:54 PM
Opening up to your husband is a good thing, who knows, he might also be gambling without your knowledge. If yes, you are very lucky to have a life partner who has the same hobbies.
Regarding the points you want to convey to your husband, it won't have any effect as long as it doesn't disrupt your household's cash flow.
Because gambling does not require gender A or B, everyone has the same right to pleasure as long as it does not harm other people.

Unless you damage your household's cash flow and then you tell your husband, that will be a complicated problem.
Because the main problem in a husband and wife relationship is an economic problem, right?
As long as it doesn't affects the family cashflow and personal responsibility of the women it has nothing to be feared with having a woman gambling but best done with the knowledge of the husband as you said,who knows maybe the husband also is gambling secretly, and lookinyflr ways and opportunities to let the wife know also.

And if the wife open up to him, it then means alot for both paterners since the both of them will be collaborating and having the fun together at all time since both now have same hubby.

775  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Kickstart January in style on: January 19, 2024, 11:33:13 PM


Just going back to this thread, the ETF has been approved, and we have seen like $600 million flowing on the first day and it shook the market, pushing as high as $49,000. But now the market is calm already from all the ETF hype, we've seen minor dips to $40,000k'ish but it went back in the last 24 hours to $42,000.

What I'm saying is that just because of the approval of ETF, we should expect something big to happen right away. That is not the case, the real catalyst for the market is the block halving that is going to happen in April and not this ETF approvals. It could be a factor though, but the effect is not going to be felt right away by the ecosystem and maybe there are still some entities taking advantage of that big push and sell.
There was much hypes around the bitcoin ETF approval and most of us expected that bitcoin price will just double over night, Which is not a rocket science thing but requires alot market actions for that to happen, and some time, it takes alot of time and efforts before the results of most of such events can be felt in the price chat.

So even though bitcoin ETF have been approved, it will not not just change the face of the market at once, but will take a gradual process for that to happen so let not be surprised to see bitcoin market behaviours being the opposite at the moment.

Yes it was a cut one game, like I said anything can happen in football out of 4 games we had 3 only
Ivory coast blew their chances, if you read what I posted concerning that game I said they won't score a lot of goals
Under 3.5 was my second option in that game you can go back and check
But 1x was my first option, but it didn't turn out well, we hope for the best today
I take out a lot of time to analyze before posting...thanks guys
Football bets are not predictable and at that it outcome is always uncertain and unpredictable at the same time, but nevertheless, we must have to make everything possible to see that we make the best predictions when choosing and selecting our bets, since we can at least analyse the team effectively that will give us the chance to make every possible contributions and to the analysis that make up for our choice of games.

Just as you have rightly said, every day is another day to start all over again, and for sure, we have to keep in mind as to what outcome we may possibly have and not to be over expectant in a direction, even though we are in a new day.

You make crypto sound as an anti government crusade, which is not what cryptocurrency is all about, why are we so much concerned with irrelevant thing about crypto such as it alternative currency rule, and also banking the unabanked role, and deviate from compering or trying to make crypto looks as if it a replacement of the traditional financial system.

Let learn to know the importance of both sectors in our financial dealings, such as the importance of the traditional currency system such as banks and banks notes and also the importance of cryptocurrency and how both act to better our overall financial experience.

But it will be Impossible for a gamblers to separate family effect's from addictions but at least the gamblers if in his right senses can still minimix the effects of that addictions on himself.

Simply we can't generalize everything since there are addicted gamblers that are still responsible for their family.

On the other hand, there are addicted gamblers who put themselves in the worst addiction which is now affecting their relationship with their family. On the latter situation, these addicted gamblers need to be stopped by force as they won't listen anymore for any advice.

I salute those gamblers who even admittedly addicted to gambling, are still a responsible person outside their gambling activity. Hope they will maintain that discipline and behavior but at least, they should know how to minimize their gambling habit in the long run.
Really I have seen someone who is very addicted to gambling always protecting himself from selling off his personal things, sometimes you see some gambler's with gold wristwatch that way several kilos of gold, running out of money in the casino, and wouldn't ever attempt to sell off his watch.

To me that actions shows that the addict is still very responsible and knows what he is doing, but just that, he can't control his gambling urge, so at that, we don't need to generalized things, since we already know that every individual have they own difference's and ways of doing things.
779  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What do you think about filecoin? on: January 19, 2024, 10:16:10 PM
I want to know your opinion about filecoin, this coin was created in 2017 if I guess right, it got to $238 in 2021 which was the ATH. As of today, the price is back to $4.5. That was a huge price drop, but I like the saying that a drop in price of a coin is an opportunity to buy, this is true for bitcoin because bitcoin will attain ATH, but not all altcoins were about to attain ATH. With what I am seeing about filecoin, I am thinking it can get to that price again which would be a huge opportunity, but I do not know much about the coin. Anyone that knows more about this coin can post here to let me know if the coin is worth going for or not. Thanks in advance.
My friend that thought of you thinking file coin getting to it all time high again, is what makes altcoins investment to be a gamble, because just as you mentioned in you comment that you are sure that bitcoin will make another all time high price, but unsure of altcoin, this statement point out the level of risk of one decide to invest in those coins simply because their have dropped significantly from their all time high price.

You need to be very careful when choosing such coins for investment, I prefer to invest in new projects that got the hype than buying those coins that have already experienced a dump in their price previously.
780  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Altcoin follow Bitcoin on: January 19, 2024, 10:03:03 PM
This are basically the fundamental basic fact about bitcoin Vs altcoins chains in term of price behaviour and market volities, although we have some other factors that can also contribute to this and even separate altcoins from bitcoin with both having their own separate market behaviours at some point in time, some times we have seen when both chain moves in rhe opposites directions.

But mostly bitcoin have played the dominance role in the entire cryptocurrency market and at that, bitcoin market behaviours are reflected or driven forces for all other coins in the market.
