One man food is another man poison so for that,  the age that may seems right for Master A may not be on for Mr B and that is the reason why I may not be able to give you a straight-up answer to the question but that has been said.

If one is gambling for fun,  then there may not be an age limit to gambling for such a person as long as he keeps up with the fun aspect and doesn't lose motivation.

But for those who are addicted or gambling for profits,  it is better to quite as soon as possible since we already know the result of such mindset and conditions.
942  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it? on: January 05, 2024, 11:14:38 PM

OP could just be that lucky but more than often a gambler who takes risks playing while under pressure will not be able to think wisely in decision making.

Surely like the kind of scenario you raised about the wife going under the knife, it is such a precarious situation that I wonder who will be able to think properly in gambling that way.

Whatever we do in the midst of pressure, mistake is likely to occur and gambling is not excluded. If you gamble in such way like in football game you can leave out the game you intend to include and also taking higher risk you can not afford to lose because of the target you are aiming at to be able to take care of the financial challenges. But as we know, to already have the amount of money we need to gamble for it is such a misleading way to gamble because most times it doesn't work that way.
Avoidance of pressure while gambling is very essential to our overall well-being this is because pressure has its own affliction on our mental well-being and its presence can hamper our thinking ability and which could lead to wrong choices and actions,  which always result in negative.

So for such, we have to avoid all forms of pressure be it in gambling or our individual's life events, This reason why some time pressure is treated as the most negative attribute like to the usage of alcohol while gambling also.

That is the cycle of life and the alignment to changes,  you don't expect them to look and behave like you because they have not been exposed to the things you are exposed to and mind you, travelling also is part of education so even if some of those your friends have same qualification like you,  it still made a difference that you have travelled out of your environment and experienced and external life.

But they on the other hand,  remained in their old environment without any history of travels,  so not that they are bittered but the environment has forced that line of thought into them to act that way.

Shorting your play time in gambling is the best strategy in gambling, apart from knowing how to manage your bankroll, don't spend too much time on a casino game, the longer the time you spent the more you lose, this is the truth that many gamblers won't accept at first until they realize it later.

For them it's about your addiction, and that's what brings in more money, and I am here to announce to you that time fixation is also a good way in gambling, spending 20 minutes in casino a day is better than someone who spend 1 hour.

1. Have a amount limit you can risk on gambling every week.

2. Choose your favourite day in a week for gambling.

3. Have a time count down when gambling, to avoid spending too much time.

Go back home or close your laptop once your time is up, and wait for the coming day, go back to your daily life and business, chase your goals using your business and invest more money on assets.

Do you agree or disagree? Drop your reason why.


Good advice. A person who is able to control himself in gambling has already avoided many problems. I would add that you need to find the day of the week not that you like, but on which you have the most successful game. To do this, you can keep statistics, people often do this. And I don’t even want to talk about the fact that money for gambling should be money that a person can afford to spend, and not a salary or borrow money or a loan or something else.
Self-control is vital to a player because their well being depend on the ability to control both time and money when gambling is what put a gambler in the best motivated condition to continue gambling and in do that,  the player need to set up a limit guide in form of roadmap to be followed each day as he gamble along.

Most easily achieve in football betting more than in-house games like slot or dice since there is the multiplayer effect on in-house games but not on sports bets which makes it easy for the gambler to control and limit himself.
945  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: January 05, 2024, 10:48:15 PM

Thanks for your worries but I don't think that I'll fall for one. That's my take on it if there goes the casinos that have asked those users to comply and they've seen some anomalies from those users.
Kyc demand shouldn't be viewed as an attack on the players most especially if it is clearly stated on the terms and conditions of the casino,  and also if the gamblers have already agreed and sign up to them so be it,  regardless of when the casino ask for it,  the player should always be ready and expectant of such demands.
Sure, KYC is not an attack on any player but people often view it like that and some people are too particular about their privacy as if they are not citizens of any country. Once you are a citizen of a country with some registrations in place, you can only try to hide but you can't. You will have to do KYC in many places unless you want to remain illiterate and end your life on the farm/forest or do other offline activities. It is bad to the point that if allowed, some people will not do KYC with their banks, but unfortunately, no one is above the law, they must be forced to do it even though KYC is a very good means to have the proper record of the individual to make them accountable for what they do. This causes some people to change their minds about doing what is illicit in certain settings and it is a means to disallow illegal flow to an extent. This is however important with duly registered and regulated casinos, so no one is targeting anyone but must oblige.

However, the issue is that some casinos and companies are sometimes using it as a weapon to treat their customers unfairly. They have this style of pretence which of course they can still hide under in case of legal scrutiny. It is so unfortunate. Also, some people, do not joke about their privacy and they believe that they can hide under cryptocurrencies to do it. They should have gone for the no-KYC casinos instead of crying foul with the KYC ones. More regulations are coming and it will be stricter for everyone over time.
Many times,  what confuses people about KYC is the point of privacy protections and how those sites that are collecting the data handle them and what have been the most cases of privacy violations and the rule KYC collection has played in that direction,  many times there have been calls from the gambling community on how best their data shod be handled by KYC data collectors.

But up until now,  we haven't read anywhere that KYC data has been leaked or stolen before which shows that those data are highly protected and secured but as a player,  you should always watch which site you give your data to in the form of KYC verification.
946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble on Bitcoin ETF approval results? on: January 05, 2024, 10:25:53 PM
Depending on the facts on the ground,  but ordinarily, I will bet on such a prediction since it's obvious that there is already a lot of green light as to when to expect that ETF approval so for we may have a high chance if you choose a yes and speculate the right timing as going by the roadmap for that approval.

Just like we have bitcoin price prediction games in the same vein also we can predict the bitcoin ETF approval and to win some cash.
947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: January 05, 2024, 10:04:45 PM
The bad side-effect of gambling is your uncontrollable emotion, like what you mentioned, it's better to use the amount of money that you can afford to let go, setting it like this before you gamble will allow you to control whatever amount you are willing to lose, if you are aiming for entertainment, you should be enjoying for that small amount even if you lose your bet/s.

Most gambler who can't control their emotions ending in this bad situation, to the point that they can go and barrow some money to try recovering the money, but unfortunately, instead of winning back they just added it to the amount that they lose and become an additional financial problem financially.
The possibility of an uncomfortable position because of uncontrolled gambling sessions is the reason why we have to fight with every available strength in us never to slide into addiction at whatever time and also that we put everything in check as regards to how much time and money we gamble with and also the level of our greed,  we shouldn't allow the tendency for profits to drive our urge and pursuit for gambling.

Taking gambling as fun and staking a little amount that we can afford to let go is what makes for a good gambler and not the amount he is looking for to win from the games which that may likely never come,  and chasing after it may result into a more drastic ugly outcome.

Ops congratulations to you on your Bitcoin purchase,  I don't know if this is your first Bitcoin purchase or a follow what you already started some time ago,  btw it is nice to see that you have taken that step to accumulate some bits of data as an investment,  I believe in the long term you will be able to accumulate more Bitcoin as your cashflow increases because the journey is still far from finishing and considering how little your amount in accumulation is it becomes obvious that you will need to make several and more Bitcoin purchase as a follow up if you want to starch up an amount that could yield good profits on the long run.

But then also it good to see that you are beginning to engage in discussions that can help you make a quick and flexible Bitcoin purchase journey to arrive at your Bitcoin accumulation point before your timing.

Thank you so much Poorbot for liking the review, I'm happy to see that the review is helping other members. I would also like to thank Haunebu and Renampun for liking the review. I am pretty sure that after reading the review and watching the video tutorial everyone will be able to use the Poorbot without any issue.
SamReomo great work you put up here with that review,  I must applaud you on the detailed information capturing and guides to follow with the poor boy service,  although I have not tested the site to see how it works,  but with your reviews,  I am sure I will find things easy whenever I set out to have a feel of what their services are all about and,  likely in the coming week I will also drop a review of the poor boy when I fully test the site and I have to say that my review is motivated by SamReomo seeing how good he outline all the steps and what he encountered during the testing.
950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 05, 2024, 08:25:48 PM
I don't think Sevilla would be actually relegated. But it will be a very fierce fight. They just can’t seem to be winning any matches these days. They had to let many key players go in the previous season and their current situation is not looking very good. Their downfall started in the last season and now it is even worse.

I think if Sevilla just wins a match right now, we can call them safe from Relegation for now. They need to win every 3-4 matches to stay safe from the relegation zone. I don't think Almeria or Granada will be getting over them. Their fight will be with Cadiz and Celta Vigo. It just does not feel good to see a team with this history go down due to these financial situations.
Sevilla is more in the safe zone right now and from the look of things Almara won't make it out from that zone considering their current standing and how things have gone in recent times, indeed Cediz will put up a good fight against Sevilla if ever the path crosses each other but even at that I am sure just as you have already said Sevilla will eventually escape relegation this season.

This is not the first time such a narrow escape has happened for the club and I am happy that at least we expect to see some positive development for the club after this season.

There is a lot of war in the world,  and if we can collectively defeat war and terrorism,  the world will be a better place,  and we can then fight for a system that works according to our own countries' peculiarities.

Why I mentioned security is because security is the bedrock of every economic growth and development in a country,  and if you have been following recent happening around the globe,  you will testify that we have had a lot of crises such as wars and attacks by terrorists and this is not a one country crisis cause terrorism is a global war.

Back to the topic of the best thing that countries should copy from my country,  it becomes a lot more confusing since in this part of the world we have a political system that does not work and can't be referenced which is why we advocate for global integration to help put something in order.
952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 05, 2024, 08:10:08 PM
Honestly, I don't follow predictions of the said sports gambling experts but I do read their analysis about the game. It's really helpful to see who are missing in the game and who might play that could be a big impact to the game.
After that, I do my own analysis and I'd be happy to predict the results of the game on my own rather than relying on someone else who thinks they are good at predicting the game. Reality is, there's no assurance with their own predictions because the game cannot be controlled by anyone unless there are circumstances where they need to lose because of an important reason. i.e. Draft picks lottery (tanking)


Yes many gives prediction in their telegram groups maximum time they give sure win but some time they fall the followers in loss why because when we in loss they predictioners get profit if the accounts creat from their refarence link. No one is your in this game thay come hear for earning that's the reason don't trust any one do your own analysis and make you own win and own losses that is more peaceful more then follow others.
I have heard that before and several times not all about the money,  because many of those telegram groups will at the end ask you for money as in fees to give you those so-called sure bets,  this has been a known scam that has been happening for a while now and if one is not well knowledged you may be easily deceived into thinking that something like that exist,  in gambling there is no sure games because every session has its implication and realities and those are the factors that determine the outcome of the game.

That is why we must not have such a mindset as to have a third-party bet speculation and how best we trust or use them but better if you must use them,  you shouldn't waste their money in paying for such services.
953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 05, 2024, 07:30:59 PM
Manchester United's performances have been erratic but they have a strong squad. And if the players in the squad are confident and play well, Manchester United have the ability to win against any team.

Manchester United's performance in home matches is comparatively better. Manchester United have achieved 18 points in 10 home matches and 13 points in 10 away matches. Manchester United will play at home against Tottenham in the next match. With United performing the way they are now, their chances of winning against Tottenham are slim. Even then I wouldn't bet on this match, because Manchester United can surprise everyone and win at any time.
Do they though? I mean everyone keeps saying that "they are united, they are just going through a rough patch", but when I check their squad, like their eleven, then I feel like they are not that great at all. Lets take a look at all the players that played today, some of the most played ones; Onana? That is really their most played player, Onana, that dude is horrible and we all know it, Garnacho?

Sure seems like he is growing, but that is a future talent and I wouldn't consider him great today, Bruno Fernandes, who is amazing and I will say that he is their best player and great player for sure, but then Diogo Dalot, really? Rashford? Maybe 5-10 years ago, not now. So all in all, what I am trying to say is that, they are decent, but they really are not that great.
For me this season for Manchester united can be said to be a recovery phase for the team and that is what have happen in their performance in the round of the competition,  majority pf the matches have been won while so many others have lost which have lead to their current standing,  although we are aware of the club previous condition and what position their finish the last season with,  but much more also we need to see and checkmate their results to see if indeed the club have done better under the current coach and which to me is yes.

Manchester United have performed better in this season compared to the last few seasons back,  and under the current coach,  I believe that man u will indeed records more winning in the next round of the season.

Edited out

There's nothing new again in the gambling industries, e even the online reviews are being paid for, so how honest do you expect to see them when what you're having has the influence of being paid already with money, the moment we realized that we need to make our own personal research about them and not only depending on what we have seen from their online reviews, we will have more advantage of being accurate from what we have received than when information receivisare only from a single source about the gambling casino.
That is what it is my bro,  the third-party review platforms are being manipulated and there is no honesty in their judgement and all that they do these days is to award high trust scores for sites and platforms that pay them huge to do so,  many times we have seen that in the sites and rating given to known scammers sites,  this is why there has been a need to pursue your independent reviews and also to make sure that we don't fall for those scams in the name of reviews.

Most importantly the one coming from a platform whose scores are not systemic to reflect independent users' comments on their sites because being the sole private rator will lead to corruption such as what we are seeing in the system presently.
955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if Bitcoin ETF is not Approved on: January 05, 2024, 07:01:58 PM
It is what it is regardless of or not if Bitcoin ETFs get approvals,  and we may likely see a relatively low impact of that on the price of Bitcoin,  which may not likely be that significant to notice it in the long run,  Bitcoin have independently served the market all the long and being able to attract both institutions and governments which to me is enough approval to build on for a better future for the entire Bitcoin ecosystem,  much more also is the fact that due to the so much anticipation of the bitcoin ETFs approvals,  there have been so much buy in pressure from investors and speculators who want to take advantage of the current price so as not to lose out if and when the approval happens.

A long wait isn't a bad idea at all.
956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 05, 2024, 06:35:43 PM

Personally, I think Sevilla will not be relegated, even though we already know the detailed statistics and reputation of their performance in the first half of the season. If Ramos and colleagues can target points from just average clubs, then they can stay in La Liga next season, in my opinion that is the easiest scenario for Sevilla.

However, we know that it is not an easy thing, because Cadiz, Granada and Almeria also want to escape the relegation zone. The financial factor of the club being in debt is the cause of Sevilla current decline in performance, so they are having difficulty building a squad and even had to be willing to let go of several key players last summer.
Relegation is steering at Sevila in the face and it will take almost a miracle to safe them this time,  and I agree with the fact that if their are able to accumulate high points in the second round,  it may likely be possible for Sevila to stay off relegation again in this season just like their did escape in the last season.

But for the fact that,  it is not only Sevila that is battling to escape relegation in the next round,  other clubs that are of the same category and performance with them that have same problem of none performance in that last couple of matches in this round of the league,  such as Cadiz and Almara who will likely face sevila in the next round,  this clubs could pause a threat to Sevila success in this season and how possible for them to escape relegation.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 05, 2024, 06:27:37 PM
I know for sure that if we take periodic account of how many times that we gamble, maybe weekly, monthly or yearly, we'll find out that the loses are far greater than the winnings, so I sometimes wonder how we can be indulging in something that we lose far more than we gain, in the name of having fun. I know that it's human nature to want to conquer, defeat, control and be the leader, yet we go into gambling knowing that the system doesn't give us a fair advantage of achieving these aims, yet we're happy to go back and likely be defeated again.

Perhaps deep down in our conscience, somewhere that we don't like to listen to, it still tells us the truth that the reason why we're going to gamble is to hopefully win money, not really to have fun.

I know that it's said that you should gamble the amount that you can afford to loose, but will you call it a true fun when you know that there's a higher probability of losing your bet?
In gambling we don't expect having the statistics of gambling especially the winning aspect to be higher than the losing part of gambling, its very obvious that gambling have to do with different ways and you have to know the measures that is suitable for you before you venture into gambling because when you don't have a budget for gambling you will end up using your savings for gambling, many people today never cross check their last year expenses in gambling and their last year profit in gambling, so many people do say that its not necessary to make such statistics of gambling annually
Because of that impossibility pf having a higher winning rtuo vs the loses that the reason why it necessary to gamble with the mindset that you lose and lose,  then win +lose which is why we have advocated for responsible gambling and for that to happen a gambler must first of all have the mindset of gambling just for fun and not the winning at all time,  winning os part of gambling but the ability to understand the house edge is what makes you a smart gambler.

Some take gambling as win at all time event,  meanwhile in reality it not so and those who have such mindset are always disappointed in the end when they imagination fails to come to reality,  one they record loses more than their win at some point in time.

This is gonna be our last reply to this thread. We would like to point out that some misinformation is being spread here and we have made a clarification separately.


I think you guys have done noble enough and we all respect the decision to make this comment the last comment on this issues,  to be honest with you,  trusdice have one of the most friendly and unique wagering requirement and only those who may have not likely read through the tos will fine it confusing just like the ops who is creating a case out of what I can say a lack of ability to understand a simple set rules by a company.

Why many see the wagering requirement as high when the see 5x is because they may believe that,  they will have to do a 5x wagering on each and all of they deposites along the way but that is not the case and only a one time 5x on first deposits is much more likely to be ok with any players who really understand how the system works by reading through the tos.
959  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: January 04, 2024, 11:42:35 PM

Thanks for your worries but I don't think that I'll fall for one. That's my take on it if there goes the casinos that have asked those users to comply and they've seen some anomalies from those users.
Kyc demand shouldn't be viewed as an attack on the players most especially if it is clearly stated on the terms and conditions of the casino,  and also if the gamblers have already agreed and sign up to them so be it,  regardless of when the casino ask for it,  the player should always be ready and expertant of such demands.

That is the reason why,  I personally will go through with kyc before making my first deposits if I trust the casino to avoid unnecessary stress when I been ask for it in the future.
Quote
There are moments that the accusers and the complainants are really at fault here but also, there are times that it's not justifiable that the casino freezes and delays their funds.
Most of the accusations as regards to kyc is all the fault of the player and if checked carefully you will discover that,  they just failed to either comply or take note of important instructions as regards to the kyc of a thing.
960  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Have we overlooked the many potentials of altcoins? on: January 04, 2024, 11:36:25 PM
These have been most of the challenges that we face in the cryptocurrency industry with majority of the time our preferred coin may face network issues and we need to look for alternatives,  this has made it very important for us to discuss the best possible means to make use of altcoins as alternatives when there be network crisis.

What are the best coins to use at a time when there is network congestion in the main meme pool?

When there are network congestion in Bitcoin Blockchain I don't use other altcoins that are very volatile, I use stablecoins instead. Stablecoin as Usdt on the Tron network or other network that don't need alot of fees or confirmations for the transaction to be approval are what is important when Bitcoin has congestion problems and not other altcoins. Altcoin are too volatile to be relied on during transactions as you can send $100 transaction and it can dump to $80 before the transaction is confirmed.

Altcoins don't waste time to confirm but they're not as reliable as Bitcoin or stablecoins. If I'm not using Bitcoin it'll be stablecoin. I only use altcoins for profits and not for transactions. When I invest in an altcoins, I want to make profits from them when the price rise and not to use them for transaction. Stablecoin are more preferable to use as they can be used in all Blockchain and not only depending on the Ethereum Blockchain as it was before.
Using a highly volatile altcoins as an alternative to bitcoin when there is network congestion will further put you at risk of losing more because if anything happens along the way while you trying to move the coins around it will result in potential losses unless you are ready to wait for the price to recover at some point in time,  which you may likely not want to or not having the time to wait.

Instead of using volatile altcoins as an alternative, it is better to just stick to Bitcoin and pay the high fees to avoid such losses while seeking alternatives,  but stablecoins are the best for this kind of situation.
