The mistakes that prevent you from winning big with gambling is you chasing the big win and every losses can't be forgotten, this is the right and unfair position that gambling put every gamblers into and it takes your disciplined mind to get out of that hole and do things right yourself.

Why are you even chasing big win? With gambling? That's not a good way to make any changes in your life, you will ruin if way faster than you can fix it.

1. Don't ever chase any Big win when gambling, this will prevent you from using what you can afford to lose, this will also distract your mind and you will start gambling recklessly, because YOU ARE ON A CHASE.

2. So it's certain that loses will occur, but you used what you can't afford to lose remember? This will also makes you get mad and you will start trying to get back what you have lost.

Never chase or except any big win when gambling, keep using what you can afford to lose, either win comes or not, you are still you and things are going fine for you, taking this road means self destruction because of gambling is far away from you.

Properties are big investment on their own but I choose Bitcoin over them, if you have to sell the property to buy Bitcoin make sure you have many properties, that's when the risk will make sense.

I don't like loans because it's not mine, using someone else's money to invest is a big turnoff for me because my mind will always be there that it's a loan, but selling property is much better than taking a loan, at least you are your rightful owner, whatever happens is still yours, and you will not have to run around trying to settle a debt.

Using what's yours to take risks is better than using what belong to someone else.

It doesn't sound like this happened, are you saying that you store Bitcoin in a wallet for the past years and you don't have your recovery seed written down somewhere? anyways, since you poured water on something that has your Bitcoin in it makes me feel you are not responsible, You can't keep that Hard Disk safe and you don't also have your private key? Are you for real?

Dry the hard disk first and try again, if it doesn't work , go to any PC repairer store and stay will that person to fix your hard disk or at least recover the files on the disk, Also how much Bitcoin do you have in this Hard disk?  Is it worth much?
924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 22, 2023, 06:55:33 AM
There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".
Maybe I also often read and hear a similar saying, which reads:
Quote
"It's not shameful to lose to gambling, it's shameful to give up gambling."

But the statement was broken by other words of wisdom.
That is:
Quote
“In the casino, the rule of thumb is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they played, the more they lost, and in the end, we got it all." casino.

My understanding for your statement ( "if you quit that's when you lose"). That is a person's repentance and identity, they realize that the casino will get everything. 'stop gambling' is a choice to live a normal and healthy life, not vice versa to lose.
Especially when it comes to gambling Yoshie, you are right, this is not you trying to build a machine, where you must not quit on your dream, I remember how making a plane to fly in the sky was very tough and it was passed down from builders to other builders, gambling is not something worth striving for, it's a dream killer, it's why the LORD doesn't like it I believe and the words of in the Bible about gambling is not good.

Even when you are trying to create something that someone has never done before, there might come a time where you need to call it a quit, it doesn't mean you are weak, it's just to quit for the main time.

I have tried to solve things in my life, at first they get too complicated and hard to me,  and i quit, a year later I decide to check them out again and I found them more easier to handle, it's like I gained more knowledge after my first quit.

Quitting is no sign of weakness, sometimes it's necessary, to find your way or solution.

Mind you, no solution with gambling, it's name fits perfectly for what it is, if you have to quit because of gambling it's for the greater good.
925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 20, 2023, 06:33:06 AM
Brother, not with gambling, this is not something that needs your every might so that you can be the next jackpot winner tomorrow,  chasing this will even get you no where fast, gambling is something you need to participate in for fun, it's not something worth dreaming about, jackpot you say? Don't quit and keep losing for eternity, some people have been in gambling since 2013 and till date, they never hit the jackpot, They have some luck but the amount is just something called a win, not life-changing.

If you are the type that doesn't like giving up on something, please don't let it be gambling, not giving up on something means you believe you will get something out of it, make sure you are not trying to make it big with gambling, you will get yourself killed by depression and other.

Don't give up on trading, because it's skill-based.

Don't give up on investment because it needs discipline.

These are still better than something that entirely depends on luck, two sides of a coin and you have one side to pick, the chances are too slim.
926  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 19, 2023, 10:00:58 AM
There is no real motivation behind gambling and please don't come up with one, this person is just so lucky, remember that there are millions of people buying lottery tickets every time and they are still yet not as lucky as this man is.

I don't care or have a desire for such dreams, I believe in hard work more than anything, because grinding so hard will get you there more than buying fantasy, I don't want my journey to be like a dice game.

I hope this lucky man use his money very well, only one in a million have this type of opportunity he has, I have read about lottery winners going back on the street because of mismanagement of their money, and I hope the same won't happen to this fella.
927  Economy / Gambling / Re: BC.GAME do not support on: July 19, 2023, 09:02:15 AM
There is a lesson to be learn from this one, what I hated about online casinos the most is the lack of communication, I feel a lot safer if the team are responsive, it makes me feel like no amount of problems I can run into the team will always be there to help me out, but if they are hard to reach it's a big turn off for me, I will gladly stay away from any online casino that have no time for their customers, even if they have good reputation I don't have the patience to wait until they get back to me.

Till this day only very few online casinos takes their customer's services as the most important part of their company, and it's the most effective way to get more customers, I mean who doesn't love to get their problem solved by responsible team?

I heard that BC.GAME is one of the best online casinos, I have not use the platform before too, since this is also an affiliate issue there is nothing to be in rush about, I think what you need now is time and patience.
928  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gain more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 19, 2023, 08:00:14 AM
In the world to day gambling is leading instead of BitcoinBTC (crypto currency) and more are still wanting to join gambling because the minimum age to gamble is 18+ and lot of upcomings are waiting and this is the total amount of gamblers, so let's talk about the crypto currency (Bitcoin) we all know that Bitcoin is a good investment and it has changed a lot in the crypto world but the interesting part is that the numbers of Bitcoin investors can't be compared to gamble and my question is Why? or  is the risk involved in Bitcoin higher than gambling risk?
Just chesk this source
You are not making any sense, sorry to put it this way.

People want to gamble because the minimum age is 18+, what about Bitcoin? Do you have to be at a certain age to buy Bitcoin?

Your comparison is even more annoying, asking that Bitcoin is more risky than gambling, are you on drugs before creating this topic or what? Because even those who are not into Bitcoin investment know the answer.

Gambling takes more from people than giving back to them and Bitcoin does the opposite, you keep your Bitcoin in your wallet and wait it out, it's time based investment, how is this even risky?

Gambling is an instant judgment, you get your result in a day, even in minutes, either it's going to go wrong or not, Gambling determines to take everything from you, there is no analysis or strategy, making it one of the riskiest ways of making money.

Compare something else with gambling, not Bitcoin, it would be better with Forex trading and gambling, Bitcoin investment is better than both.
929  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A idea from my home boy on: July 19, 2023, 07:01:54 AM
It's better to safe the whole recovery seed in a secured location, why is he trying to split the seed words? What happened if he lost the two words? If he have the rest it still won't work, he is simply trying to make things more complicated for himself.

Tell him to find a nail and a silver plate of any kind and carve the whole recovery seeds on the silver plate and keep the plate in a safe location or a mechanical safe.

As we grow older there are things that becomes more important in our lives, if you go away for a while you can easily forget the words, or maybe you have an accident that affects your brain for a while? This is why it's bad storing anything in the brain.
930  Economy / Economics / Re: Things you should know about Money mindset on: July 18, 2023, 09:22:58 AM
Been open-minded to other ideas and jobs is what ma y people don't want to do, it's like saying if you are a doctor you can also be a crypto or forex trader, or a content creator, many people are not wired to do other things, they like to focus on one thing that brings in money for them and even if that amount isn't satisfying they are ready to reshape themselves to the level of how much they are making per month.

There are people around me that started their life journey with one business and the business became a big part of them,  after several years have passed, the business start going bad because too many people in the same state are into the business, so instead of switching into something new they feel it's too late.

I don't blame them, if you are into something, personal business at let's say the age of 27 and it serves you till the age of 60 years and the business got so bad, imagine how difficult it will be to start something new at that age.
931  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why local currencies when there is bitcoin ? on: July 18, 2023, 08:17:22 AM
Local currency means fiat currency, that's what I think, correct me if I am wrong, well the thing is Fiat currencies are not all on the same level, some have higher value than the other, I prefer Dollar to my own local currency for this higher value reason, imagine someone bragging about USD vs my local currency, of cos it's worth bragging about when it has way more value than my local currency.

Now USD vs BTC is different, maybe that's what your friend doesn't understand, you don't have to argue with them, you just have to make them understand at least, all Fiat currencies are inflationary and BTC is deflationary, the demand and supply is incredible and way on top of every other Fiat currencies.

932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: July 18, 2023, 07:37:11 AM
I have a family and that has dropped on my huge responsibility. May parents are old. In my culture the kids take care of the aged parents. And the older kids look after the younger siblings. Therefore, it will be disastrous if the money I gamble with is what I cannot afford to lose. I am responsible for these people so I cannot be irresponsible with money. Trust me of it is for gambling which I consider entertainment, then it is money that I can afford to lose.

People who are of the same school of thought as the OP are individuals who believe that gambling is a source of income..
Gambling is like buying a lottery ticket, the different isn't much, it comes with 1% of possibly getting lucky, imagine a family man setting his goals on such thing, this will bring havoc on such a family because things will eventually fall apart.

I have my older mother left, and I have to take good care of her, that includes my family too, so with great responsibility on me, imagine shifting my focus on gambling as a source of income, it's like rewriting one's fate by himself.

933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can i make 100 $ daily from online casinos on: July 18, 2023, 06:01:23 AM
I will like to correct some facts about what people are saying here

Some people think that winning through gambling is life changing, winnings varies, I can use 100$ to net myself 10k or even 2000$, that's not a life-changing money, and since many won't even want to quit, they can still lose everything back to gambling.

If you are advised to get a job it's for yourself good, this will keep you alive and away from the street (homeless), gambling can't be relied upon for constant income, it is impossible, instead trading is better than gambling, trading can be turned into a source of income if you can be good at it.

934  Economy / Speculation / Re: Be patient and you will be there soon. on: July 17, 2023, 09:25:48 AM
It's near impossible to time the market and that's why I don't want to have a plan of when, all I know about right now is buying the dips, I even pray for more dips to happen because I believe that we don't have the time, the halving season is coming and this year might be the last time to buy at a good price, although a part of me still wants a big crumble in the market, still I don't wait on my hands for that dream to come true, it may never happen, that's why I keep buying already and I will keep doing so till 2024, I am ready for whatever it's going to cost or take.

Focus more on buying the dips, if this is all that you cares about right now, your patience will be on auto, because there is no reason to be in haste, you aren't done accumulating so the longer the bear market the better you will keep preparing.
935  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: People Are Not Nerdy Enough on: July 17, 2023, 08:19:14 AM
Many people still don't give a F about Bitcoin, because if we look at the bigger picture they don't care, so many don't know what it is because Bitcoin still doesn't matter that much, yes you heard that right, Compare Fiat popularity to Bitcoin, even beggars on the street knows the importance of Fiat, I don't have to explain why, but Bitcoin? Nah, that's till too early.

Bitcoin needs to matter in a whole new level of popularity first to get to certain people, and it's still far from that right now, you OP are showing signs of hasty, you are impatience it seems.

Decentralized cryptocurrency is complicated to millions of people for only one reason, the government is not saying, oh my people, as from today you all should start spending Bitcoin, it's safer and more valuable, they want the hands of the government in Bitcoin before they can fully embrace Bitcoin.
936  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: July 17, 2023, 07:14:08 AM
Playing slots and getting wins from slot games requires luck because slot games are luck-based gambling games. So no matter how hard you try, if you don't have luck, it will be difficult for you to win, and you waste your money to have fun because you are trying to chase that win. But it's a different matter if you want to have fun playing slots because you only bet what you can afford, and when you have had enough, you will stop immediately because you know you can probably lose more money. Even though the chance to win will still be there, it is not recommended to continue playing slots because we don't know when to get lucky and win.
But if we really study slot games, especially with pragmatic providers, then there is also one factor other than luck to be able to get a larger number of wins, namely by playing even harder or you can say playing longer in the game session because then we can have a big chance to get a big multiplier.
I've proven it myself when I did quite a lot of rounds, more or less in 1000 rounds, the multiplier of 250x and 500x can come out easily, but indeed the multiplier can break if we are lucky.

Yes, more sessions is good to hit that huge multiplier, but then again, how many of us have huge money to begin with and play slots and have like 10,000 spins to test our luck?

Although there are members here who love to play slot games, but for me, I would rather stay away from this kind of games. I used to play slots a lot during the beginning, but I would rather choose other games like sports betting. Again, I have nothing against them, but it's not for me. Maybe I just will play with small money just to test my luck but that's it.
The right question, this can never be me, how can someone who is trying to play sane with gambling use a lot of money because they want to get luck on that same day? That's not mentally safe, this could destroy someone in just one single day.

I like playing Slots but if I don't win I always leave for that day, and come back any other say, it's safer for my health this way, it's either this or I quit gambling for life, because what this person is teaching is not for 90% of gamblers, if he has the money to throw around that's good for only him, but if someone reading this embark on such idea they will lose themselves and lastly become that addict and break all rules that they are trying not to.
937  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People on: July 17, 2023, 06:24:06 AM
Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons.

The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people.

New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ People
Are we seriously having this conversation? WTF? Like I don't have when we have gays and lesbians but I hate America for legalizing LGBTQ+, something that should be considered as abomination, I know that whenever the US legalize something it's because they are benefitting from it, I am already thinking that higher position people, rulers and leaders in that country are also LGBTQ+ that's why this is now a normal thing.

It's true that LGBTQ+ people are getting slammed, not only in casinos but everywhere and they deserve it, but why are they going to casinos? Everyone has a smartphone on them I believe, they should stay at home and visit any online casino.

It's a confused world we are living in today, for LGBTQ+ people, it should be COVID-19 2.0.
938  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: July 16, 2023, 10:56:04 AM
I have heard the advice that you should only use money you can afford to lose for gambling. I say that this is more theoretical than practical. Literally no one has money that they can afford to lose. I feel that money for gambling is a matter of opportunity cost. You either use the money for gambling or use it to meet a need. If using money one can afford to lose were practical there will be no need for articles on having a gambling budget or bank roll management. Hey gamblers my question is to you now is, the money you currently plan to use for gambling is it money that you can afford to lose?
This is one of the reasons why the rich call the poor the most greedy, because every penny means so much to them, and if every penny means so much how will you even take risks with investment? That's why the poor hate investment, the first time that comes to mind is they are going to lose that money, if you aren't ready to lose how will you win?

I am very much into this topic because there is a lot to say about it, see, it's always about the mindset, if yours plays the trick on you it's over, why do people feel hesitant when it's time to buy Bitcoin? Why do people find it hard to accumulate Bitcoin? You think it's always about the lack of money?

Now, back to gambling, there are things we do in our daily lives that makes no sense, or let me say in the lives of poor people, they don't have money to lose, accepted, but they have the money to use of alcohol drinks, they have the money to waste on friends that wish them no good in life, they have the money to carry prostitutes.

The best advice is use the money you can afford to lose, it's the same money you can afford to spend on drinks, throw a party, buy unnecessary things.

Yes I have the money I can afford to lose, that's why I made it this far, I avoid getting broke because I use what I can afford to lose and I also take risks to change my life and it's working because I can withstand losing some dollars.
939  Economy / Economics / Re: What will you do when you have Financial Freedom? on: July 16, 2023, 09:20:56 AM
Financial freedom? The percentage of my investment will grow higher than now that I am still an average person on the field of financial freedom, I am not there yet and I will get there, money is the right tool to get more money, and many people can't even invest right now because they don't have the money, so if I am blessed with the fortune I will make sure that my coming generation benefits from it, because I will keep getting richer as the years pass by.

Getting rich is a big opportunity of it's own, it's not easy to get there but once you found yourself there, make sure you do all you can to never go back down, instead, always grow higher from there.
940  Economy / Economics / Re: Agriculture can save your country from recession on: July 16, 2023, 08:12:20 AM
OP you are funny, you talk about agriculture as if it's something new, don't you know that before you are born this agriculture of a thing was present? If it's the solution to everything we won't come into this world full of poverty and hunger.

Imagine sowing 10 plots of land and some barbarians invade your land and burn all your crops and kidnap many women from your land, is that not the end to your cultivation? Is agriculture the tool to solve such problem? I am just going back into the books of history.

There are many things you aren't adding to your point, Agriculture can bring food to your table if you are good at it, but try to plant on millions of acres in your country first to feed the multitudes, you will see that some things are not adding up.

Like I have always tell my younger ones, to be a leader is not easy and politics is stealing from one group of people and feeding them to another group of people.
