At this point of experience, from your own perspective, I can say you played the second round out of curiosity. If for a long time you have not used your casino app and you just did that for the first time and you lost, then out of curiosity you funded your wallet again to try it again, that is no issue, but when you continue to play it again and again while funding it out of your planned budget, then I can tell you it is you chasing your loss, and then we can say you are getting addicted, but it is not the right thing to do, mate.

I will also advise you to not play without budget so as not to play beyondyour target as you just did because it might result to you chasing your loss and when you dothat, you can become addicted from that act.

It is obvious from what you have said here, it seems you once was addicted to gambling because if you did not have had the experience, you would not have made this thread. It is nice you posted it here and I will encourage you to make us know the steps you took to stop your addiction because other addicted gamblers could see, read and learn from your strategies implored to curtail your gambling addiction. It could be of help OP.

I am beginning to realise that people get addicted to gambling and not realising it. They feel it is for fun but do not bother to do self analysis to know if truly they are being addicted they only cover it up with the fact that they feel like increasing their gambling budget and unknown to them they are addicted to gambling. I believe this was the same experience with OP before OP realised his savings are all gone for gambling which dawned on him that he was addicted to gambling. I believe OP realised this on time and is working towards it.
863  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 31, 2023, 04:21:30 PM
I think I agree with you to the aspect of not devoting most of your time to gambling but that can be applicable to people who get themselves engaged in one way or the other whereby they are mostly busy with work and as such do not have much time gambling but only on few occasions and that is during the weekends when they are less busy  compared to those who have nothing doing and decides to take up gambling as their full time job. These sets of people possibly are addicted to gambling and cannot do without it as they have it as a full time job.
If we're talking about gambling responsibly, shouldn't the discipline of time management part of that umbrella which is "gambling responsibly"? What I mean is that having a time devoted to your gambling habit and knowing the time to stop is a common sense that shouldn't really be said. It seems like telling them that is kind of a reminder and that they're already failing at being responsible at gambling. How can someone have gambling as a full-time job? Don't you lose money more in gambling?
That's actually a good point. Most people think that gambling responsibly simply means to just spend less money or managing your bankroll in a good way so that you don't lose it very quickly and any other thing that is related to what happens within the casino, but no one talks about time management, which is a very essential part of being a responsible gambler because as a responsible gambler, you are also supposed to have a balance between your normal life and your gambling activities.

There can be times when a person might not spend a lot of money on gambling, winning and losing again and again, but at such times, they will be spending a lot of their time which can actually disturb their normal routine and they will obviously have to dedicate some time from another activity to their gambling if they are spending more time on it.

I believe when it comes to gambling,  discipline does not only revolve within gambling responsibly or gambling with cash we can afford to lose or to gamble with our spare cash but it also involves time factor. If as a gambler, you put up 2 to 3 hours as your gambling time, I think you should stick to it because that is a routine gambling guide for you which you must play by otherwise you will lose your self discipline when it comes to gambling. It would seem as if you are joking and not following up with your rules. This is what people or most gamblers fail to understand. If obeying other self discipline rules and you fail to obey your rule of time then you have no improved personality. Time management is another factor to consider when gambling because this would guide you through your time while gambling and it takes only a sincere and disciplined.
864  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does lottery rewards expire? on: October 31, 2023, 03:50:41 PM
OP I believe any rewards put up for a competition must be claimed by the winners as a result of their efforts to winning it. Most rewards do have a specific time of claim. Some rewards are paid gradually to the winners within a specified period of time while some rewards are paid in full be the sponsoring organisation.

I can recall a particular lottery won by a female Phillipines which payments spans through 25 years here  this was done so that  the company would make the organisational payments within the lifespan they have given so they could not have any issues with payment in the future.
865  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: October 31, 2023, 12:01:11 AM
Absolutely, the best target is always an audience related to that particular field for which that advertising or promotional content with referral link is attached. Just as the sayings goes," hit the nail at the spot ", that is just what is required to gain the traffic desired. Searching for such spots would not be that easy If what you want is a huge traffic. That would make you go extra miles to making sure you get the expected desired results by sourcing for platforms to make such post.but if you already have a platform that would make it easier for you to handle because you would definitely get the traffic possibly in huge volume.
That's what I mean to get the right place to share our referrals that have heavy traffic which allows us to get a little easier to get new users who will register using our referrals and in this modern era not difficult to do this because we really want to try to earn income from these referrals we definitely make a little effort to spend some money to get a lot of followers or anything that gives us guarantee of being able to enter that high traffic space.
So nowadays it is very easy to do things online so we only need our seriousness to do this with confidence and high enthusiasm, everything can be achieved slowly.

Of a truth everything can be achieved no matter what it takes and there is a saying that says "a journey of a thousand miles begins with a step" if one must be a pro, one must start from scratch and just as one is looking for referal bonuses, one would need to make time for it towards making steps to achieve the goals they desired.

If one is in the verge of signing up for such context, what is required for them to do is get their community involvement and there must be some members who would definitely registered so I think this should be a problem for such person.
866  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: October 30, 2023, 11:32:22 PM
Betting on the USA election i think is too son because we do not know the major contenders as the parties are yet to choose their flag bearers except for the democrats which  we already know the flag bearer which is the person of the President. Just like football, we already know the players to be featured before the then main day of the game but here, primaries have nt brrn conducted so how do we predict who willwin the election where as the election is still very much far ahead.

Well. I personally disagree.
It is just a different kind of market for bets, it is supposed to be for those who are interested into geopolitics or the politics in the United States and also like to bet in the mid term (not only in the short term).
The odds have varied enough on candidates on both parties which it has already possible for some to cash out some of money, by odds change only.
Also, this kind of bet discussions also encourage speculation on a highly volatile political situatiom which the United States is going through. This incoming presidential election will be the most important one in the history of that country, so I do not blame anyone if they are interested on betting earlier than usual.  Smiley
It would always falls down into someones interest in the end of the day or in the end of the line which its true that there are ones who are really that interested on betting on politics and there are ones who dont really just care about these things but rather they would really be that betting on something which there's no chance that it would be sabotage. Even if we do say that presidential elections could really be that somewhat obvious
but we dont really know on how it would really be ending on, considering that issues and other possible things that could disqualify a certain candidate could really be  that possible or some explosive issues that been thrown out which would really be turning out the tides.

I  cant really just take up the risks or really that much of my forte on joining or betting on politics and this is why it is really that out of my interest.
Its true that there might be people who arent interest but there are ones who do really want to make out bets on presidential elections.

You are correct mate. Betting on politics is more of you wasting your efforts because the system can be truncated by human agents through manipulation by vote rigging and buying. In my country, elections are always manipulated and sabotaged without any remorse so let us assume this is the case, can you be comfortable and feel convenient placing bet on it? A system that is not free and fair to start with. That of US might be a free and fair outwardly but the process can be marred. Soni would not waste my resources doing such. I rather put it on a sports betting for fun than go for election bet.

In the USA, the fact that there are these corruption occupies in their electoral system, in the year that I live, yes, it is obvious that one as a person already knows that it is not worth voting for anything because things can go wrong, in fact the vote has never It has been a secret and this is something that is manifested and the government knows it, in fact I have not voted for many years, because it is not worth it, I learned that voting for politicians is of no use, op I like to assemble people in power that then forget about those who put it there, that is something that is always true in all countries, even the most prosperous ones, however when it comes to doing things to guarantee security it is very different, because It's like you say, you can see everything very transparently, but it's not known what happens at the level of data transmission and how the electric schools can do it so that things happen the way they want, because those who decide and have the most vote are the electoral colleges, which seems incredible to me.

Now, I would like to put something into context, I live in a country where corruption in voting is common, because those of that corrupt current and ideologies that seem quite stupid to me will always win, but that stained the country with it, I It seems that the USA cannot become like this, I know that everyone can see very well, they have the exception of voting through their emails, but the issue is the transmission of data can be used to change everything, and give results that They are not correct, and this seems to me that something like this happening in the USA is incredible, because in a third world country like the one I am in it is normal, however it should not be my third world country, but thanks to the politicians or It is, because it is a very rich country, but the USA has everything to prevent this from happening and they must do something so that it does not become something bad, in itself I have never liked politics


In my country, the talk of voting is becoming more boring because over the years, elections have been marred by the powers that be and vote does not count. They are only interested in just fulfilling all form of righteousness when it comes to electoral laws but they already have their candidate who already have his or her way to power. So anybody Voting is likely wasting his or her time as they want to use it to complement the ones they look into.
Voting is more of one wasting his or her time here in my country as the politicians and power that be hi jack the whole process as time goes on. So you can see how it is to get involved to gambling  and how to goes.
867  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do not invest in Bitcoin with a borrowed money on: October 30, 2023, 11:16:32 PM
For investment of Bitcoin I think it's good to invest with your own money instead of using a borrowed money because of the risk and disadvantages in the investment, if you want to invest in Bitcoin I think that you should use what you can be able to afford to loss for the investment.

You no supposed think, one of the main rules of investment na say make we no use borrowed money take invest. Investment supposed be sometime wey be say if things no go as you been plan am you fit adjust your investment timeframe add more waiting time. If you been plan to hold to 6 months and after that 6 months things no come out as you plan, you fit add more waiting time but when you dey use money wey no be your own like wey you borrow, e go make fear catch you well well and you go dey rush to sell make you no lose everything and in that process, you dun sell at loss wey be another thing wey you no supposed do when you invest. Borrowed money go make you no get peace of mind and na so you go dey over monitor the market because fear dey catch you. E no matter how small your money dey, no borrow to invest or na you go still suffer am.

Borrowed money does not belong to you, and I believe repaying it comes with interest on it. If it happens that after borrowing to invest in bitcoin, the price drops below your expectations, that would be a problem because you, as the borrower, would depend on the profit from the investment, and I believe there is a stipulated time of repayment.

Very valid point, all this newbies dey think say the market na only one sided so as dem borrow everything go go as dem plan but the market dey always get another plans. Bitcoin na one of the worst assets to borrow money invest inside because the price volatility no be here and if you come get to pay back the money in the nearest future na big problem be dat because the market fit decline that period and put you at a very big disadvantage as you fit no go only lose but now you get to look for another means to arrange money take cover up which is unplanned expenses wey you for fit avoid, if you been just dey contended with what you have and invested with only your spare money.

Na the problem with newbies be that o. Dem no dey broad in their thinking when it comes to Bitcoin investment. As e be say dem never get the market experience Naim make dem dey always wan do hurry hurry to invest in Bitcoin forgetting say the market no be as dem envisage am to be. Dem no really get clues on Bitcoin market volatility not to talk of market experience.
Most of the newbies wey dey enter the invention plans Na based on say dem tell dem as e be dem never get the trading experience though and as a result of wetin dem don hear, dem want run test to see as e be but unfortunately, the way dem dey take enter the market no be so as e be that is why you dey hear people say dem buy high all of a sudden price drop den dey get stucked up at a particular spot for a long time without being able to sell because they would be at lose if they try sell at that price they bought initially.
868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: October 30, 2023, 10:56:21 PM
Depends on how ahead you are. I mean if you enter with 100 dollars and get to 200 dollars, there isn't really a reason to cash out, but lets assume you start with 100 and made it 1000 dollars, then cashing out 500 and then keep playing with the other 500 makes sense.

I would say up to 5x is enough to keep going, anything above that could be cashed out and that's an important distinction on what we are talking about here. I understand that we are not going to end up with anything substantial when gambling and this type of big returns happens rarely so I would end up gambling with whatever I win because it is not a lot. This is why it is not always about one solution thing, you are not going to get that at all in most cases.

It is not possible getting such opportunity always that is why when you get a win as quickly as possible, take your  profit or your capital at first  out because that should be able to guarantee you of your proceeds from the gamble as you can not tell what the next round could be. That is where many make such a mistake of not keeping a fraction of their win to themselves but are quick to still continue gambling until they lose  all their wins that is when they would realise that they have lost everything including their investment as well. As a smart gambler it should be a priority to always withdraw a fraction or your full  win at first to safeguard your interest.
Well regarding that, I have a very solid way of thinking that I have learned through experience, it is not that I have much experience but I have learned something, casinos are made for us to be happy, I don't know how to have fun, There is no doubt about that, but we can also lose a lot of money, and it is obvious, they are designed so that they have the advantage, the famous house advantage, so in this order of ideas we must be emphatic people regarding the criteria of action. , because the moment I arrive at a casino I have a problem, if I see that in plkenso game I have a decent winning, and I don't hesitate to invent, I withdraw my money and leave, and I return the next day or to others days later, and some players do the same, they spend the money, enjoy it and then come back to see if they can have the same luck again, and it is not frowned upon, in fact that is what it is for, of course doing it often is a very difficult act, because being reborn in one case is quite Difficult, for some it is impossible.

I do have my own strategy, but of course it is a strategy that is so exciting, and that at the same time I have a profit, no matter how small it may be, then I go and leave it there in my account, because it is a profit, and I don't I save until I have a balance from a few wins to a few wins, but of course this is about having a balance in a casino where one plays in a very considerate manner and where I don't expose or break my own rules, because I'm sure that if one breaks his own rules, then he loses, there is no doubt about that, so to avoid this, we must be very safe, very disciplined and very determined when making the decisions of the games, sometimes they can be mocked for having small profits, but it is better that way. , because losing is very ugly and I think no one likes to lose, so for me that is my technique, since everyone can do what they want because everyone is the owner of their way of playing and their money.



It is normal that casinos are designed in the way that the game mechanism would be ok no their own favour. So I am not surprised if an to he serial numbers of loses gamblers accrue while playing. As a smart gambler, it is nice you withdraw your profit if you record a big win because you never can tell what you next game might result to if you continue.

It is best one takes break after big win so as to take time before coming back to play again otherwise you change casino because I believe it can not be possible winning back to back because once you win a huge amount the casino would put an eye on your account to start watching your games possibly imploring mechanism to reduce the rate at which you might likely win a game while playing.

Lastly, setting up a guideline for yourself is likewise you setting a rule to go by. If you go against it then it means you do not respect yourself and a let down to your already implemented guideline. This is what makes people to fail because they fail to obey their own rules.
869  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: October 27, 2023, 10:44:28 PM
I have seen several topics here and other discussion thread where many people talked about gambling addiction. So many procedures been stated to follow sequentially to reduce the rate at which one frequently visit online gambling sites and possibly their application if they do have any of them.

I remember in one of the threads I raised up a point which was long hidden as the thread became too numerous and lengthy to continue the conversation on that topic. It was my opinion to add up in profering solutions to gambling addiction. I believe not too many people saw it to to say something about it so that is why I had to bring it up as a topic hear. I want to hear your opinion and ideas towards it.

Here is it;

I am of the opinion that since gambling sites are mostly online and some has adds that pops up as advert on visited site, one should be able to disable or change their browser settings  by blocking casino adds and as well disabling  gambling sites on their browser settings so as not to gain access to it anymore till the number of days they deem fit to their resolve. This was just a little tip I gave as a possible solution. I had to put it up here for further discussions so that the bigger community can see it as  well.

If you feel or think here is not the right place for this you can say it. I am open to corrections as we all are here to learn.

I don't think these tips will work. Blocking everything or even disconnecting the affected person from the internet completely won't help. In many countries there even exist databases of gambling addicts which should prevent them from entering casinos and gambling places but they somehow still find a way (online and crypto gambling help to avoid such bans). You need to go visit your psychologist as it's mostly a mental issue (addiction).

I believe one with self discipline and determination can be able to achieve it if they really want to Stop gambling as an addict. If a person is desperate to Stop gambling, they must set up a guideline for which they must adhere to in other to stop it. Although visiting the psychologist is part of the plans because that would guide you through the process on things to do or follow to avoid gambling.
It takes self discipline as an addicted gambler to block adds and casino pop up on your device.

871  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do not invest in Bitcoin with a borrowed money on: October 27, 2023, 09:33:25 PM
It is not advisable to borrow money for bitcoin investments because of the nature of bitcoin volatility. No one can predict the market trend. To talk about it, there is a saying that one should "invest what they can afford to lose" and also "invest with their spare cash". There are reasons why these phrases were formulated, and they stand as enlightenment and caution to the traders who are very much engaged in trading activities, but the newbie traders are mostly advised to take cognizance of them so as to be guided while trading or investing.

Borrowed money does not belong to you, and I believe repaying it comes with interest on it. If it happens that after borrowing to invest in bitcoin, the price drops below your expectations, that would be a problem because you, as the borrower, would depend on the profit from the investment, and I believe there is a stipulated time of repayment. What if the bitcoin market does not pick up before that time to pay it back? What would happen to the borrower? Or do you expect the lender to wait for your bitcoin investment to grow before you pay it back with interest on top? A big no.
872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How safe do you feel with casinos that ask you to input your log detail. on: October 27, 2023, 08:50:08 PM
It does not make any sense, though, but logically, if such happens, there is likely to be a login from somewhere else, because at least ten minutes is enough to sustain your appearance online on that website, whether you close the page or not.  Although I find it inconveniencing to be inputting details on and on every time I back the page, I do not think I would waste my time with such a casino because, if possible, that might expose you to security risks, and you might think they are trying to protect your account.

It is true that the security of customers details is the priority of every casino and exchange and it is good measures are put in place to do that effectively but when it is not conducive anymore, it tends to become a threat to the users because the pattern does  not conform with the normal original and hence causes panic annd disapproval from users.
873  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 27, 2023, 08:03:29 PM
We should know our limits, when  to gambling and when not to continue with gambling and have time for other things, gambling shouldn't be what will take us away from our responsibilities on other things, we must be a responsible gambler and make everything we do in a cordinate way, when we do well with gambling, we will see the advantage of it and likewise when we didn't do the normal expectations, we may have something different and unpleasant when gambling, this calls for having a deliberate means of how we gamble for the best of our own interest.

Gambling should occupy a very small place in the daily routine. They need to devote less time than any other hobby, such as drawing, IT development or studying cryptocurrencies. Because gambling should not be regarded as a full-fledged hobby. However, the above activities cannot cause addiction and lead to gambling trouble. The best option would be to play 30 minutes a day, and then only on weekends. I think that during this time you can relax.

I think I agree with you to the aspect of not devoting most of your time to gambling but that can be applicable to people who get themselves engaged in one way or the other whereby they are mostly busy with work and as such do not have much time gambling but only on few occasions and that is during the weekends when they are less busy  compared to those who have nothing doing and decides to take up gambling as their full time job. These sets of people possibly are addicted to gambling and cannot do without it as they have it as a full time job.
I agree with you because anyone who has a job or a business that he/she attains daily will hardly have time to check a gambling website and the only way they can gamble will be when they have free time and that would be on weekends. Any person who does not have a job should not go into gambling so that he/she will not be discussing gambling every time. Gambling is just for fun, not a way to get out of poverty.

Of a truth gambling is just for fun and I believe many people still do not have that idea of gambling for fun and as such do not gamble responsibly.

When one understands the dynamics of gambling, one would understand that gambling is for fun not just for profit making and would cease from having that mentality of gambling to make earns meet which should not be the main focus for gamblers.
It is those people who want to make it through gambling that don't understand that gambling is for fun because they have decided it is only through gambling they can make it in life. This will make them chase losses in other to recover their money not knowing that the more they chase their losses the more they will lose in gambling. In the process of doing this, they can get addicted to gambling without knowing they are addicted to gambling.

Chasing of loses has been one of the major problems in gambling which has led many gamblers into addiction. Most times when a gambler does not plan with a budget for gambling and they play with record of loses back to back, they would be desperate and tend to play more so they could win back their loses and in the cause of doing that, they keep recording more losses and this tends to make them addicted without self control but can only be stopped when self control and discipline is applied.

Yeah right, for those who still have other things to do and not taking gambling as a main source of income they can quit and stay away if they tend to choose to it, while for those who don't  have anything to do and the engagement is already deep, they are those who are prone to addictions and might have difficulty in quitting away.

You need to have that limitation to stay being responsible with the actions that you are taking from the time you step inside gambling.

It is true you know, that those who are very much engaged with activities like work and others Jobs are not likely to get much into gambling addiction because of their engagement and so doing are not fully into gambling but for those who have no job doing and are hell bent in
Gambling as a work are prone to addiction because they have the mindset of doing that for survival and would go to any extent  to gamble for a living.

As you have said to having a plan action on limitations is very much okay because that would guide one who gambles to be able to avoid addiction and gamble responsibly.

The ROI is too outrageous to be called for. The investment plans is too good to be true. I was wondering how they could achieve over 100% on ROI just within a short period of time and even after seeing this some greedy fellows will still fall prey of such scheme.

Thank you for calling the attention of members here and raising a flag as well. I think that would serve them better as this platform is not a place where such scheme would be promoted such easily with the intention of scamming members of their hard earned resources.

What a sad situation. This is very disappointing that he could do such a thing with the wedding savings they both have been keeping for their wedding. Possibly he is an addicted gambler and has been keeping it secretly from his wife to be and he could not control himself from using the money. If he had opened up to his wife to be, the both of them could have had a plan B to the wedding savings so as not to do the unthinkable but the situation now has gone beyond damage control and it is obviously clear that he is an addicted gambler who can not control himself and this however means that in the future if they both get joined together he might do worst than this.

I believe she has no idea he is a gambler possibly she could have kicked against him holding the savings. Since he kept it a secret from her and eventually he has exposed himself and the truth have been revealed.

It is dependent on your personal faith. I believe whatever one believe would work for them fine let it be but if you do not, so be it. From my understanding of the Bible, Jesus chased away gamblers and money doublers from the temple which means it is contrary to his belief as a  Christian and from that perspective, I can deduce that Jesus does not support such activities in the house of God because it was in the temple such act was carried out but some people still believe what ever they put their hands in would multiple and that settles their faith and it works for them fine. So therefore, if the owner of the App does that with faith possibly it just might work out for them.

OP Is it a joke or something that I must enter my email before accessing your website? I was wondering about it because the thought that came to mind was that of email scouting websites that gather email for their own purpose. At least, there should be other options that one can access on your website for easy perusal, because with such features alone, nobody would be near your website to talk of inputting their email address for anything when they could not see anything worth it on the website. Here, first impression matters a lot, as members take cognizance of such, so you should see to it by working on such features on your website.

It is nice having you here, mate.

Hi cryptsafe,

as I explained to ryzaadit;


Hi ryzaadit,

Currently it is just a daily email where I play one hand of baccarat everyday. The daily email comes with a poll attached where you can try to predict who will win the next hand (Player, Banker or tie). You can see a test email on https://baccarat.beehiiv.com/p/baccarat. My subscribers that predict the hand correctly get rewards and get a higher chance of winning giveaways in the future. We are also in the middle of creating social media groupchats for the community. I didn't expect this to take of so quickly so please bare with me Smiley                     

The email is the product. My goal is to create a community that, like myself, really enjoy gambling. The email is currently only to get input. Yes, I intend to monetize by advertising in the future for selfish reasons (got to pay rent someway hehehe)  but mainly because I think this will greatly benefit the community.

Do you think members here are easily moved by those gimmicks. How can you tell me that you are compiling people's email addresses for your own selfish interest to monetise them in the future. Of which benefits do you think it would be to the masses here.  I would like you to mention the benefits attached to the collection of emails from members rather than sending phishing links to email addresses. Can you clarify things so we could get it clear.

We should know our limits, when  to gambling and when not to continue with gambling and have time for other things, gambling shouldn't be what will take us away from our responsibilities on other things, we must be a responsible gambler and make everything we do in a cordinate way, when we do well with gambling, we will see the advantage of it and likewise when we didn't do the normal expectations, we may have something different and unpleasant when gambling, this calls for having a deliberate means of how we gamble for the best of our own interest.

Gambling should occupy a very small place in the daily routine. They need to devote less time than any other hobby, such as drawing, IT development or studying cryptocurrencies. Because gambling should not be regarded as a full-fledged hobby. However, the above activities cannot cause addiction and lead to gambler trouble. The best option would be to play 30 minutes a day, and then only on weekends. I think that during this time you can relax.

I think I agree with you to the aspect of not devoting most of your time to gambling but that can be applicable to people who get themselves engaged in one way or the other whereby they are mostly busy with work and as such do not have much time gambling but only on few occasions and that is during the weekends when they are less busy  compared to those who have nothing doing and decides to take up gambling as their full time job. These sets of people possibly are addicted to gambling and cannot do without it as they have it as a full time job.
