841  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: April 18, 2024, 10:21:30 PM
Sometimes in the game, we have set betting limits. but sometimes being consistent with the limits we set ourselves is also difficult. There are certain moments when we sometimes cross the boundaries we set. either because of the game factor or the luck factor that we are getting. I think most gamblers also experience this. adhering to or being consistent with the boundaries that have been made will be more difficult than making the boundaries themselves. We can make plans, but situations are sometimes stronger to change the plans we made from the start. that's the fact of gambling.
Having a limits on gambling is a must so we don't have to playing gambling excessively as many people becomes a heavy gamblers without they realizes. We must knows how to decides to stops playing gambling before we runs out of the money because that can caused us to deposits more money to keep playing gambling which can makes us gets more losses. We can't cross the boundaries because that can gives us risks that can becomes bigger and that means, we will lose much money. Most gamblers experience this but not many of them can realizes their mistakes so we must take care of ourselves by not playing gambling excessively. If we can make a plan for playing gambling, we will knows how long we can playing gambling and when we must stops playing gambling.
If you don't have a fix barrier to which  you wouldn't like to exceed and also a strong principle to back it up then you are likely to fall into the trap of this gambling addiction because that's where this kind of habit always land every gambler. The failure to posses such ability to know when to stop gambling is what makes people crazy with their gambling habits. I know of someone who doesn't even exceed the amount fixated for his gambling sessions and that's include even all his lose sessions.
842  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 18, 2024, 10:13:16 PM
Maybe it's quite a strange thing for us, but not everyone has the courage to be able to gamble in a casino or on their device, whether because of family or for other reasons. So some gamblers think about gambling in places like that, because they think that it is more convenient for them to gamble like that and to avoid people's suspicion, since they are just standing there. Maybe it's not the best way of gambling, but at least it can make them feel more comfortable.
Besides that, their environment can't accept if someone playing gambling in front of them so they will says many things about those who playing gambling. That's make sense so people who playing gambling hides themselves if they wants to playing gambling and if necessary, they will playing gambling in their rooms when no one will see them playing gambling. That's makes them feels no one disturb them or saying anything about their gambling habits and at that moments, they feels like they can do anything for them. They will feels comfortable when they playing gambling in their rooms or other place that no one is watching them playing gambling. Many reasons that people hides their gambling activity from other people because they don't wants anyone says bad about their gambling activity.

This kind of habit is alway dependent on the kind of society that the person is staying because some places are always against people playing gambling or even if there aren't against it they is always this stigma that is attached to people who gamble in the open and that's why some persons tend to do their gambling habits in the secret.  The same goes to when the opposite gender is always playing gambling there are also looked with this particular disgust and so some female gamblers too tend to hide their gambling habits.

Totally wrong you have got it all wrong.

Just understand one thing that a person might be an expert in the crypto domain but new to forum as there is no hard and fast rule or certification that only thos who grow up their rank in this forums can be expert because there is much more in crypto world outside this forum hence you cannot limit newbie to a certain section and there is no restriction as it's free for all.
Couldn't agree more. Newbies do not necessarily mean that they can’t be knowledgeable as other forum members, simply because their current position denotes so. Of course, that won’t guarantee that since they are beginners, crypto discussion is also new to them. Note that crypto learning is free outside the forum, and with due diligence, you can already educate yourself with the free materials found in the internet. With this, you can’t put limits to these beginners where they find convenient to post. As long as they don’t break rules and stay on point to their chosen topics, I still think they will build their own identity in the forum soon and will be as valuable like heros and legendary forum members in the future.
I have seen so many newbie account who tend to have broad and well acquainted knowledge on Bitcoin and even involved themselves active in some discussion here but there is one stigma that has been tag to almost all newbie and that's because of the behaved of some of these newbies as they are frequently known for the low contribution and even some of them refusal to learn here in the community.
844  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Can Bitcoin be a full time career for investors? on: April 18, 2024, 08:28:12 PM
As we all know there are many investors that doesn't work for anybody rather than relying on their businesses and investment as their full time career and as well as depend on the return on their investment for the sustainabilities. So i wish to ask if Bitcoin has the potential that investors can rely on as full time career considering the inevitable uncertainty that are involve in Bitcoin investment such as difficult in price prediction and the volatile nature of the system which may pose some kind of difficulty to have adequate
Knowledge and better understanding of the system.
First of all, I don't see why one would rely on Bitcoin transaction for them to make profits from it because Bitcoin isn't actually a get rich scheme, I believe the reason why people do hold Bitcoin for long it's actually because they want extra profits from it but from another instance if the person is a whale then selling Little profits untop the investments can be used for daily or weekly bill but that too depends on the season either the bear or bull.
845  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: New scam alert BEWARE!! on: April 17, 2024, 11:58:10 PM
This scam is very common. The main cause of it is when the buyer see the product very cheap on the fake site or the scam seller telling him low price. He will be attracted to it and not knowing it is just a scam.

I prefer to use sites like Jumia, Konga or official site like Oraimo for buying something  online. And some of them have pay on delivery which I prefer.
E dey very common no be lie and the reason why I also avoid places like the Facebook marketplace especially when the person say na pay half first and complete on delivery even that one sef me I no dey do because with the way things don be for the country everyone dey find watin dem go use outwit person and if you no dey on guard you go fall mugu for them, so times na the buyers ability to be deceived dey cause all this because the moment the scammer tell am the price, he get indulge feeling he has hit jackpot not knowing he is the jackpot himself.
846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: April 17, 2024, 11:54:31 PM

I got your story op and frankly I must say that your last illustration of getting other gamblers back to gambling isn’t were the problem lies but rather on the safety of the winner.
Have you thought of the dangers of sharing a success or winning story at the wrong place and at the wrong time?, there might be possibilities of the winner been robbed or harmed to claim his winnings and the rest of other challenges that might be associated as well.

Whatever the case might be, it is always advisable to be conscious of the environment at which we stay to share our success stories be it from gambling or any other place, as there have been several cases of people losing their lives as a result of jealousy and it’s likes.
Not only on gambling winnings but every other aspect of life, it is important to stay private with our incomes most especially when a tangible amount of money 💰 s involved because at some times you don't know the mind of the other person wether or not they are happy with you or will want to take the money from you at the end.


So you are very right when you say that privacy is of utmost importance concerns for anyone gambler and learn to be silent when in public transport avoid evil attractions.
People can't really destroy or get jealous over what they don't know so keeping your winnings can go a long way for you especially when the winning is extremely huge, just like you said not everyone who hears about your success is actually happy with you so that's why keeping the habit a secret is of utmost importance itself but some persons can't really hide their gambling habits but the winning and success from shouldn't be so losely shared to avoid story of planned attacked or negative energy.
847  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Better CBN governor on: April 16, 2024, 08:35:31 PM
Is Cardoso educated? I am confused.
Let us starts from what is inflation? Inflation is the persistent rise in the price of goods and services. Also another definition of inflation is the declination of money value. So Inflation is the persistent rise in the price of goods and services, leading to declination of money value.  The money is devalued to create a balance so that both local and imported products sellers are going to make profit in a way that everybody will gain. Also the government foreign reserve will not be decreasing and also the government having more capabilities to pay workers etc. So is Cardoso educated as inflation increases but increasing naira value? He turned the definition of inflation upsidedown by increasing the value of naira when inflation in Nigeria increases.

So now if you get the right things done by pushing out dollar wey you pack keep for house and paying up backlog of dollars then you go expect say Naira go dey appreciate. Moreover, when buhari comot, official rate na around 440 naira per dollar and BDS na around 750 to $.
You mean the official rate and the parallel market rate? The official rate stayed long around ₦465 when the parallel rate was around ₦750.  The CBN later make the move of exchange rate unification and the official rate increased to around ₦750 and it got very close to the parallel market. There was no problem like this at the time after the unification. Although, the parallel market later increased more again. But the government are to be blamed for not able to make the rate less volatile. The government manipulated because later the official rate also was increasing as the parallel rate was increasing but they are saying Binance manipulated. They only tell you what they want you to believe.
I don't really get everything you are saying because it's quite confusing, what are you basically saying in essence of everything that has been going on with the recent gain on the naira against the dollar. So are you saying everything that the current CBN is doing is just a mirage and that they actually don't know the financial issues of Nigeria?
848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Neymar being addicted to online poker on: April 16, 2024, 08:19:50 PM
I seen this video upon scrolling in the youtube short videos like reels, seems us have different perspectives on this, could be why he keeps gambling even in the precious time of his daughter, and for some of us it is part of his leisure or earning playing gambling so just finish the set of the game is enough after. As long as he keeps as part of the role as being a man of the house i guess still he's in a good part. But also its better if we know our limitation until when is playing gambling even the previous days.

Knowing your limits is everything when it comes to Gambling and that's what causes issues for some gamblers because they fail to know their limit and this applies to even the so called rich guys because if you haven't got the control button then you really have gotten yourself into some major problem because you might end up losing alot even when he classify yourself as a rich fellow, the difference is that your stakes being a rich guy will be very big compared to an ordinary gambling but on the level check it's probably still same thing.
849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 16, 2024, 08:10:13 PM
My achievement from gambling isn't really big or remarkable, I only manage to buy some necessary things before for myself (eye glass, mobile phone, and other personal things).
But other than material things I also learn some lesson from gambling base on personal experience.
I learn to manage my funds and be contented even with small profits.


Very good step, friend, you can control your money when you want to gamble and you are also ready and accept small returns. That way, you have carried out the correct behavior in gambling and don't feel greedy when it comes to gambling wins. It can also be said that you prevent addictive behavior and minimize the loss of quite a lot of money.
If there is one positive thing that gambling would teach you, it's definitely knowing how to maintain the little and be content at some level with what you have. Gambling has taught me from my experience the ability to control myself because sometimes you get really stuck with what you want to do that it gets really confusing to actually know if you want to continue or not but if you have master the act of patience then you would understand that its way better to cool off when experiencing loses than to continue gambling.

Well, I don't know what it's like to be raised in some other countries, but I think that now things are very similar in terms of childcare. I know that in Europe children are super valuable, just like in the USA, they are actually the future. So I know that when parents do something wrong, like keeping an eye on them, not supervising them, they risk even losing them and handing the children over to the government, so this is something very delicate, I believe that parents should not allow their children to be looking for something else on the internet, if you see that they are in casinos then it is a very serious offense, in fact where I live, that is also punishable by law, because such cases can be very decisive with them, they can cause psychological damage and that It is very delicate.
Because the risk of losing their children makes parents must always supervising their children. Many children lost their lives because of parents lacks to supervise them, especially if their children can't stay close to their parents and choose to lived or socialize with their friends. They can't gets the right information from their parents because their children believe their friends and not their parents. It's a wrong if their children lost their belief to their parents and follows what their friends said because that can makes them in a wrong way. Parents must introspect what's going on with them and their children so they can start to fixed what's needed. If their children can follow what their parents suggestion, they will not chooses the wrong way because their parents will always besides them.
Training a child or children is not an easy task, sometimes what you have planned installed for them is not actually what they will go with. I have seen children still get spoiled with their mentality or their moral upbringing. Children are complex and open minded at some certain stage in their life and also wanting a little bit of influence by their peer is always done by most of these keys so even being introvert doesn't help you because the children can turn out differently from what they feel is right on their own part.

If anyone go panic sef na for people wey no actually know what's up about the market because if you dey well aclined about the volatility of the crypto space then all this panic no go really affect you. Some persons dey call am the perfect and wonderful to buy more bitcoin because the dips is best and when you buy for the dip you get a large portion of Bitcoin than when the price is high.

I think most of the athletes have their not so dark secret in terms of gambling. When they're still a dreamer and wanting to give the best life for their family, they're able to achieve that by being a star or by just simply signing a contract.

Now after that comes the harder part and that's about how they can contain and control themselves not to be spendthrift with their money. Because when you have the money, everything is accessible and easy to do.

We've got athletes, celebrities and even a commoner becomes addicted so, it's not surprising to see such news about one has seen gambling on some random videos.
As human he ought to have been doing this wey long before he even became a superstar and that's the truth because many people that are actually celebrities now have been living a normal life and the only way maybe they could keep their habits content, sometimes its due to the facts that the available funds was not all that available but it becomes a different story when everything you can think of is at the tip of yours, that time what you do is use the money to gamble and called it having fun.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't make your bets when you're tired on: April 14, 2024, 08:50:12 PM
Getting a good night of sleep and not being tired when handling important tasks is underrated. I learned early on in life how important sleep could be just playing video games. Sometimes late at night as a kid I would struggle with a certain part of a game for hours, only to fall asleep and beat it first thing in the morning. That was enough to convince me to take sleep seriously in life.
Very correct sir, the importance of sleep is greatly overlooked by many but its effectiveness can definitely not be ignored. Sometimes my remedies to curing a bad losing streak is just a good night sleep and the next day my head and thinking is straighten up and the results will definitely turn out differently. The thing is that the brain 🧠 always work better after a very good rest but many feel going on with what they do even when they are all stressed and fucked is actually the way just because they actually don't want to let the moment go.
855  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How I almost become a millionaire on: April 14, 2024, 08:43:12 PM
In the year 2010,my best friend introduce me to cryptocurrency and he advice me to invest in bitcoin. I felt bitcoin was another ponzi scheme created by scammers to scam innocent people. Today my friend is a multi Millionaire. If only I had listened to his advice,I would have become a millionaire by now.
So since you got introduce by a friend to invest in Bitcoin in 2010 and you failed, what have you done since then? Have you invested or you are still procrastinating like before, because at times, I won't be surprised if you are still procrastinating simply because you are yet to be convinced about what Bitcoin holds for us in the near future, because what I expected to hear was how you missed investing in Bitcoin in 2010, but yet has been able to accumulate X amount of Bitcoin from the year you took action, because there isn't a single soul who wouldn't claim was introduced to Bitcoin earlier on and neglected simply because he/she thought it was a scam. However, who knows if you wouldn't have sold yours at a cheap rate just as Laszlo Hanyecz sold his for mere 2 pizzas long time ago?

don't be surprised that he is still having doubts about bitcoin or he has been on the mentality that its too late for him to buy and even after missing out on the many opportunities he might be deep on this same regretful feeling. what you should do now is to buckle up and speed up with your decision to actually start accumulating.

One thing is to make a mistake and one thing is correct it and make adjustments to avoid the mistakes from repeating itself.

The message originator doesn't sound like a business person to me because from the very start he shown low level knowledge of what he invested in and he may have also taken bitcoin or cryptocurrency as a get rich quick scheme and, this will affect him alot both in the cryptocurrency market and also in real life because no business person will invest $500 business money on bitcoin without making research of the risk that could come along that investment.
Thats why i said he must have gotten the investment through maybe some testimonials of one random dude talking about how easy it is to invest in bitcoin and how much profits he has made. Some persons just like you pointed out have come to the conclusion that bitcoin is actually a get rich scheme and nothing more which is the most wrong idea or thought anyone would when it comes to investment.
857  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Na Dollar Cause Am? on: April 13, 2024, 10:18:40 PM
The cost of materials for construction have tripled or minimum double,  take for example the price of building cement used to be between #4500 to #5000 back then but now the same cement is sold for #10,000 or even 15k in some places,  all this and many others contributed to why the cost of housing increased.

But where it becomes unfair is at the rate at which landlord's are adding to the cost of rent for old buildings,  this is where the exploitation comes in because why taking money for what you did not build new and don't make any renovation that could call for new materials to the building before increasing the price of rent on such houses.
Dollar dome come down well well and the things wey dem dey import from outside country  don come down but our local products e no dey gree come down and instead dem dey go up like tomorrow no dey again. Someone I buy on Thursday with #1500 now na #2500 and no be say na imported things oh but na local products. Now weti dey really happened na di government e no gree work or na our weakness dey cause all these nonsense? I no just understand Local Products with dollar. Dollar things wey make di local products go up e don come down again but do local products na now dem dey go up the more. Who go tell weti dey sup.

House wey landlord build since 1999, him sef don increase di price to a very higher price. Matter just tire me.
For me one of the things wey dey follow cause this slow reduction of price of things sef na the issue sef say Nigeria as a whole no really get this body of price regulation and control for the country and na why the cost of things dey go up anyhow anytime as if the country itself no really get government because I believe there ought to be some kind of body wey for dey in charge of regulating all these things.

A recently viral video shows football star Neymar playing online poker while celebrating his daughter's birthday with a group of other people present.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13299361/Neymar-online-poker-daughter-Al-Hilal.html

This to me goes to show that no one is immune from addiction. Neymar may have largeley solved his money problems but still he doesn't seem to be able to control his time spend gambling. Therefore he's seen utilizing his time very recklessly, prioritizing playing the right cards over living these once in a lifetime precious moments the best he can. And if a multimillionaire can get addicted in this way, anyone can. Consider this before spending too much of your precious time gambling. Put some limits and enjoy responsibly!
No one is above addiction and you could add drake the hip pop star to that list because he has known to be very crazy with his gambling habits and one may think that why would these mentioned persons even gamble in the first place because already they have all the money and one wouldn't even count this type of their gambling as act as fun gambling because some of the money they use in gambling is damn big even for a celebrity rich fellow.

Newbies who rush into crypto especially altcoins without understanding often rush out of crypto with a loss too.

WHEN YOU RUSH INTO CRYPTO INVESTMENT WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING

This is a very cool meme 😎 bro, practically explains the concept of what the OP is trying to pass. Many people and of course newbies are either drawn to crypto investment maybe through some superb story they heard about an investor who made it big and decided to go into it without even making proper research to what they are getting involved in.

The Northern Elders Forum (NEF) has voiced regret over the region’s support for President Bola Tinubu in the 2023 presidential election, signaling a shift in political alignment and strategy for future elections.
This is just the beginning,una Neva see something

https://www.naijanews.com/2024/04/09/we-regret-voting-tinubu-northern-elders/

Then they are all betrayal, were they not paid to have supported him, when we see the right candidate available, but because of money and influence, they choose the highest bidder that could satisfy their desires for money, now they have all gotten that money to buy items in the market in which the same money couldn't afford, i wish by now, people would have realized the reason why its not right to accept bribery during election period, instead we should let our votes counts and justice to prevail.
The electorate system is so fucked up that the normal people are on the mentality that they need to be paid before they vote anyone in as their choice and this has lead to so many wrong choices in the country because when you know the right thing to do and you still choose to the wrong thing you will definitely reap the results of that action so no elder or anyone should complain let's all seat back and enjoy the ride.
