921  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does it looks responsible as woman telling husband you gamble? on: January 13, 2024, 10:41:35 PM
If you think it will increase your income and try playing gambling to gain experience and stick to your promises, you don't need to tell him because most likely your husband's answer will not support you and will even disappoint you, but if you are aware and you have gone too far Please tell your husband immediately so that you don't fall into deep gambling
I have the feelings that the husband is reading this thread also unless if he is not a member of this forum, but then we have to face the truth as a community that practices just and right, and for that not telling the husband is a big mess waiting to happen, and if the husband later discovered that the wife is gambling secretly, it may not go down well with him also, and of that be the case, then we need to advice with rhe right set of advice and in my own opinion, is very inappropriate for spause to keep things away from each other, most especially things that involve high risk such as gambling.

If you say the woman should keep this away from the husband, it will eventually results into issues along the way most especially, if and when there are cases as regards to addictions and problematic gambling issues that requires the help of a third-party such as the husband.
922  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 13, 2024, 10:22:15 PM
A newbie will always be a newbie and some of the newbies would only learn and have a deep clue of whatsoever advise we're giving here only by having a direct experience with the negatives impacts of gambling. Sharing advises to them will sound like some regular stories they come across on social platforms, so in some cases it better to allow them test the waters and have a feel about it so when a seasoned gambler shares his experience a ND advise it will be considered.
This your comment reminds me of a particular senerio that happens sometimes ago, it was all about some guy who came to me for advice, he wanted to start a taxi business, so he was aware I run that business before covids, so when he seek for my advice, I told him to buy Landed property or even gold if he can't afford the risk in bitcoin, instead going into a highly capital intensive business like cab business since my experience was not a good one when I did the business, instead taking my advice the guy went ahead to go on with the business and at the end he lost Alot of money along the line, he learned the lesson the hardest way.

Same thing will go for newbies gambler's, matter the advice we give to them right now, their will still fall back to the old ways of want to put the foot down and get burned for them to experience the real deal.
923  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 13, 2024, 08:58:14 PM
Greed have always been one of the most vital tool that leads to irresponsible gambling and some time this have lead to loses for the gambler, and for that it very essential to discuss this matter and be a warning to the newbies who are about to dive into the gambling market, some time, it important to take note of, for sure there.will be temptations allong the line that may influence ones decision but then also, many at time's we have to look at some of this things as long as we want to make steady progress when growing as newbies in the gambling market.

What ever influences us to take an extra bet will also influence or affects our finances and whatever affects the finances will have a grave impact on the well being of the person that is gambling because chasing a particular directions is like losing since the outcome will always come out as lose for the gambler.
924  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: January 12, 2024, 11:59:21 PM
Regardless a gambler is always a gambler there is no two ways about that, many at times we have become so concerned about what other think or even how society sees us, and in light of that we tend to believe that since we are gambling, there is no responsibility in us, that is not so and we need to change that.
925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does signing up with affiliate links gives these benefits? on: January 11, 2024, 09:11:33 PM
The mega referral earnings players who shares their codes online are the one that have the ability to give their loyal followers those bonuses, and sometimes or even most times , the casino have nothing to do with this bonuses and the highest they can do for such individual is just to create that bonuse for in as affiliates and whatever rewards he chooses to give will come from his own pocket.

Sometimes, some of them give out money to those who registered under them to gamble with, and you know why?

Because the more the total wagers higher the take home pay at the end of the month as affiliates comissions.
926  Economy / Gambling / Re: Guide for newcomers Start a fun and profitable gambling entertainment journey o on: January 11, 2024, 09:04:57 PM
Let's just hit the point right here, most newbies are not after having fun alone in gambling, they want to make money and also enjoy gambling altogether, we should be used to this kind of generation of gamblers we are having, whereby they wouldn't take a chances for granted without making effective utilization of them all, they would rather prefer gambling and making profits as well from it altogether.
The fact is that, 90% of the newbies who are inspired to gamble are all with the aid of making money from the gambling, many believe that gambling is a way to make quick money and for that could even go as far as borrowing to gamble with and also not memtaining any balance while gambling all with the aim to hit it big from those games.

This have affected alot of them and have lead them to unrecoverable loses and for sure it going to continue to have an impact on them on the long run if you don't know what exactly is at stake when you gamble chasing a particular directions, such as profit's.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 11, 2024, 04:39:08 PM
When you look at Real Madrid and Atletico, there's no question that they are better. It was truly amazing to watch them overcome a 3–3 draw to score two more goals against Atletico in extra time. They are unique because of their tenacity and aptitude. I agree with you now that Real Madrid appears to be stronger whether they play Barcelona or Osasuna in the final. However, it's important to keep in mind that football can be unpredictable. Underdogs can shock us, and even the strongest teams can have bad games. Real's steady play this season has helped to even the odds, though. Seeing if they can play at this caliber in the championship will be fascinating
Football is unpredictable, but a team that plays consistently like Madrid has many advantages and is very favored to win the trophy. Whoever their opponents are in the final, I think Madrid will win. I bet on Madrid winning in the final. There is no doubt for me. They appeared very consistent and very disciplined in their game. Their gameplay in the semifinals showed that they really deserved to be champions. Unless the goddess Fortune is not with them. Or there are several key players who are injured. If there were no problems in the final it is hard to imagine they would lose. I really can't find a weakness for Real Madrid this season.

Although soccer is not easy to predict but yes, at least there is no harm if we try our luck with money that is ready to lose. But regarding Real Madrid, basically this season Real Madrid is still the best team in Spain so yes, whether Real Madrid playing in La Liga or just playing in the Super Cup and also in the Copa del Rey but ya, at least this season Real Madrid has a good chance of winning. Because yes, I only make a measure of quality from their position in the La Liga standings and therefore, I personally will not doubt the quality of Real Madrid still good if just play in the domestic league.

Regardless of their current standings, Real Madrid is still the top club in the La liga this season and at some point we can rely on the ability of the club to climb back to the top and with their current performance it show's alot for the club and for sure it will have a long term positive impact on what Real Madrid will put forth in this season's championship, because at the moment I can risk any amount on real Madrid in this season.

But then also if the club is able to bring on some other good potential players who can deliver more positive results for the club.

Much as we are tempted to write what we think bitcoin can be in term of price in the future, it may be a very hard thing to do, most especially when it involved uncertainty of what the future will be and what type of news or conditions that bitcoin will be up against, and also knowing the fact that bitcoin is a volatile assets, and no one can rightly predict it price for for that, any predictions that we do is based on just individuals assumptions and nothing more, and based on that, I will be right to say that bitcoin can indeed achieve 100k.
929  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is Investing into crypto really safe? on: January 10, 2024, 11:40:38 PM
Cryptocurrency investment na one of the most smartest kind of investment but, it involves high risk and if you lack the fundamental knowledge of the whole thing, you may likely miss out on the right time and risk to take, just as you pointed out, cryptocurrency is a volatile assets and as that, no one can tell when the right time to invest or to predict what the price of coin will be, so for that, the buy time and price is very important since it far better to buy low and sell high, that is the basic concept that have proven effective for many investors.

First check the coin and it potential and secondly check what the best price to buy them and how stable are their in the market, having the knowledge of all of thos will place the investors in the best possible positions.
930  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: January 10, 2024, 11:16:02 PM


indeed, mind our own business! but if they ask for help, why not assist them. we are just humans who always mistakes in our lives. and we have our lifetime to correct whatever we feel is wrong with our life.
but do remember, don't shove to others about your piece of advice. let them voluntarily ask help. because if you will force them to, the more they will avoid your presence.
When it comes to issues with addictions, it better for the individual involved to seek for help and doing that will show that he is already made up his mind to break out of that addictions, and for that it may be most appropriate to avoid interfering with the ways the tend to handles their gambling investment and wether or not they want to stop gambling.

And just as you have said, if you force them to seek for help, they may start avoiding you and by so doing it may lead them into more problems in the future, so it's better for you to always mind your business and not interfere in they business unles they ask for help from you at some point in time.
931  Economy / Speculation / Re: Short term corrections could be detrimental. on: January 10, 2024, 11:00:05 PM
Yeah we are going to see some positive movement in the bitcoin market in the coming days, and since the success of the bitcoin ETF have already been achieved with the new of the approval today, we are going to be seeing some heavy buy pressure for bitcoin and at some point we may likely see up to 50k price correction before the coming bitcoin halving which is going to usher in a new phased for the market.

Many bitcoin holders are already anticipating a new all time high much more than the presumed heavy correction that some speculators are forecasting.
932  Economy / Speculation / Re: ETF will probably not approved yet, so BTC and the others crypto will go down !! on: January 10, 2024, 10:42:22 PM
Well I hope you are not right about that. I think we are all waiting for the approval and think there will be big gains when this does happen.
New survey shows 88% of financial advisors expressed interest in acquiring BTC after approval. That is alot of money to come into the market.
https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/bitwise-survey-almost-90-of-financial-advisors-plan-to-buy-bitcoin-post-spot-btc-etf-approvals-202401042100
I expect a great deal of those advisors to take long positions on bitcoin way before an ETF approval, because if they were to really wait until the SEC gave the green light, by the time they bought the amount of bitcoin they needed the price would have gone up significantly already, and in fact it can be said that the current upward movement that started back at the end of October of the previous year can be attributed to the rumors of a bitcoin ETF approval being imminent.
The ETF approval was done today and you can read on some other threads in th bitcoin discussion board where the thread that announced the ETF approval was made and already in the news so let see what impacts the bitcoin ETF approval will be on the market is the days roll by, this approval have been waited for quite a while now and even though when the sec gave the green light the approvals is going to come in January 2024 many did not believe that and for sure it was a great news when I saw that thread some hours ago.

Just take a look at the news on check the thread to get more updates and I am sure that thread will be at the top of the board since the discussion will attract alot of attention since this is what we have being looking forward to see.
933  Economy / Gambling / Re: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers on: January 10, 2024, 10:28:20 PM
Really not that recommended on playing gambling when you are drunk or under the influence of alcohol on which we know that decision making and self awareness is really that not good on this time or moment on which you are really that prone into those all-in kind of behavior because you just dont really care on what are the things that could happen.You would really be just that only to be able to feel up those consequences on the time that you had just already make yourself recover or fine. Gambling problems do really start on someones own actions because if you do make yourself that too delusional towards your gambling dealing or involvement then this is where problems do commonly start and this is something that you should really be avoiding in the first place.
Those that have an addiction very rarely stop at one addiction and instead accumulate several during their lives, so someone that has some issues gambling could easily develop an alcohol problem, as gamblers that make big bets at a psychical casino often receive free drinks and other perks, so after a bad session they may begin to drink to forget everything that happened, a behavior that can easily lead them to abuse alcohol or other substances as well.
I agre with that, because addiction is a chain ⛓️ and is very easy for anyone who is addicted to gambling to freely slide into alcohol abuse also because the chain will easily connect and just as you said that alcohol is what is readily available in most casinos it easy to abuse such substance in those kind of places.

Just like those who drinks, the easily womanize and also smokes this things is a chain and it goes mostly together, breaking free from those addiction is one of a though decision that requires full attendance to things that matters as far as that change is concern.
934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 10, 2024, 10:11:18 PM
Gambling with borrowed funds is looking like you are risking yourself twice. We can also say seems like you are Double Downing with a 16 soft hand. Smiley Where you have a very low chance to win and if you lose it will be double.

Of course, gambling with borrowed funds increases the pressure and this also can force you to make some risky decisions because you must need to win to pay the loan.   
I can't see myself using borrowed money to gamble. That could be toxic to me but I think there are people who are good using borrowed money to gamble and they are cool with that. It makes sense when we use our own money to gamble and if we don't have any winnings, we can go back home and relax which is better that using funds that do not belong to us and losing could be tragic to us making ur overreact because the money could have been used for something better that will yield results. Everything thing in gambling is very risky and our decisions need to be analysed carefully so we don't make decisions that would hurt us later.
At most, i always try to stay away from loans and sometimes I may likely not even gamble with money that I did not set aside for gambling and since that be it I will not go for loans to gamble with since I know the under lying risks that is involved in gambling and how unpredictable it can be so taking loans means their is higher chances to default from paying since it's uncertain that you going to win the games.

So it's a red light for the lender and a potential lost on his side unless there is collateral to cover for the lose if there be inability to make repayments as at when due.
935  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: January 10, 2024, 08:17:51 PM
since the provider is wholly in charge it means that stake may be clean on this and for sure we will see the bottom line conclusion to this issues in no time.
In reality, people don't know these

Most the time they will blame on (Stake) due the table having a stake name, they don't know the stake only make a deal with evolution to set up the table. That's mean, everything is still on provider side.

If they contact support, they will get voucher refund.
Yeah there have been alot of misconceptions and misunderstanding regarding that, and for sure stake have always been blamed for whatever that happens but also none the less, support will be in a better position to make everything right for the player and his ability to be patient to get feedback from the support is another thing.

Because it will take time for stake to contact the game providers in some cases and getting back to the player with respons all this takes time so he need patience, hard it been that, the game is own by stake then solving such issues could have been alot easier.

To make this occasion a bit sweeter, we made a special promo code for our USDT-TRC20 depositors!
Use the code “BETSTRC20” and get a 100% bonus to your deposit and 20 free spins on top!
Great to hear about this bonus, but are there any special rules that we have to play bonus deposit money several times before making a withdraw?  Smiley
Nikita I sent you additional questions so please check your messages and reply when you have some free time.
Thank you Wink

The best questions are these that you have asked. More often than not, you have bonuses littered all over casions with hidden terms and conditions and you manage to fulfil the conditions made public only for you to be met with the hidden terms and conditions and their requirements are always more dire than the public terms.

It will be ideal if these bonuses are stated in clear terms (no hidden conditions) for everyone to decide if its what they want to get involved in.
I don't think that a serious casino will advertise a bonuse that will be free of terms and conditions at some point, but then also I have seen that any casino that doesn't make this terms known to the gamblers from the very beginning is up to something and should be closely monitored because sometime it's those hidden conditions that are used to hold players down for no just reasons and at the same time denying them of their winning.

I am also sure that if a casino have a promo in form of bonus, their must have to announce it and also making the conditions public for those who want to subscribe to that bonuse to take advantage of at some point in time.

Why not just update on your thread.

I am not against creating a specific thread for these winnings but yeah if it's ongoing every day we should be ready to see more than a couple of threads like this. Because a few days ago Sportsbetio posted about $42m win/payout history, today trust dice, maybe tomorrow xxx, and so on. Because we know such wins/multipliers are happening every day on different platforms.

Btw the guy is really lucky and these unexpected wins will him a lot in real life.
Yeah I guess a lot of going for the players and the casino respectfully and for sure we that guy is a lucky man right now having such a amount in extra cash from winning, btwn it not on it of proportion to blow out such mega winnings most especially when the players are able to accumulate such amount with just a little amount in bet.

Making a woping 37k with a $17 is something that will really amaze alot of us and for sure we going to be seeing similar topics anytime there is a big winning as this may be this will be motivational for other to trust in luck while gambling.
939  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: El Salvador has become the first country to make #Bitcoin legal tender! 🇸🇻 on: January 10, 2024, 05:37:41 PM
In 2015, El Salvador had 6656 homicides and one of highest murder rates out of all the countries in the world

In 2022, President @nayibbukele’s campaign against organized crime had managed to decrease the figure to 496 homicides

El Salvador just closed 2023 with 154 homicides!
I remember the outrage up to the media in my country, when El Salvador arrested 15000 (suspected) gang members. Well, guess what: arresting criminals works Cheesy
Really the government know all the criminals and can find and lock them up if they want, no one hide from the government even the most notorious of criminals, 6656 homicide rate reduced 154 homicide crimes in 2023 which is a significant reduction in the number, this points to a government that works, there have been a significant positive development coming in from the Nayib bukele led adminstration in El Salvador.

Crime/insecurity is one of the most dangerous weapons that destroy economy of a nation, and for such tackling insecurities have been one of the most sort after things forany countries leaders, and El Salvador is one country that have suffered from all that which have crippled the economy of the country before the coming of Nayib but with this development if there be any policy that could sustain the fight against insecurity in El Salvador in few years from now, El Salvador could achieve a great economic freedom and infrustiural developments that could change the phase of progress in the country.

The topic of poverty trasend beyond what ops have mentioned in this topic,  although ops did a good job mentioning all the physical and practical characters that could make one poor and remaining poor forever,  and much more also ops touched every aspect with clear explanation to them,  so I give that to him again.

But then also I would also like to mention the intellectual l or philosophical attribute,  mindset, which is the poverty mentality of some people,  that have drained their ability to make productive use of the time and energy due to the mental state of mind.
