961  Economy / Gambling discussion / A gambler's family action. on: November 12, 2023, 09:45:42 PM
During the weekend I was listening to an evening programme from one our the local radio stations they were discussing about gambling, the effects and how to manage it if you might be struggling with  addiction. And they had listeners calling in to share personal experiences or of a loved one that gambles and amidst many callers there was this very caller story that caught my interest and curiosity.

She told about how the family members of a particular young man that is like a plunger when it comes to gambling, his compulsive gambling is to the length of him selling his personal properties and gadgets to make sure he gambles. So what he family did was to print a photograph of him and giving it to all the gambling shops within their neighborhood and around the locality, threatening that any of the gambling shops they have pasted the photo of their brother should they find their brother allowed to gamble in the shops they will sue the gamble shop owner to court as one that is abetting their brother's compulsive gambling lifestyle.

Now, while I was quietly listening to the story in my head I began to ask myself several possible  questions and one of such questions was; is it not possible that this young man can take a cab away from their location and move to a far area to carry out his gambling since his a compulsive gambler.

Just two questions here:
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?

2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?

Share your thoughts!

I can't believe my eyes that Chelsea Draw Arsenal, won Tottenham, and at this point holding Manchester City on an entertaining first-half draw, what a great performance against the big-name teams this season, and not only that their performance in this game against Manchester has been incredible, especially with the number of saves from Chelsea's keeper, What a super save from that close range strike from Erling Haaland.

From my observation of this game and looking at how both teams are scoring each other goals and the other equalizing almost a few minutes later, likely the game may end draw.
Chelsea do play good with big teams but usually disappointing low performance with smaller team. We can see how they  are giving Manchester City a headache in this game quite different from what we had thought about the game. The changes I look forward to see poch make is the removal of Cucurella to bring in Doku as a result of his yellow card because his tackles has dropped owing to the card not to escalate it.

The Chelsea defense has to do better in the second half, with a review of the second goal of City scored by akanji the defenders were a bit relaxed giving him a free header.  I enjoy the first half it was a filled with astonishing events we are hoping to see more but will City win this game it's another question.
963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 12, 2023, 04:31:19 PM


These are the last four meetings between Manchester City and Chelsea and we can see that all the results were dominated by the same score for Manchester City to win. Is it possible that this result will be repeated in the match which will take place soon? Roll Eyes

Currently Manchester City is at the top of the standings with 3 wins from the 5 matches they have played, while Chelsea also has an almost similar record with the same 3 wins. However, it is clear that the difference in performance and the quality of the players is very different and here Manchester City are very favored to win even though this is an away match at Stamford Bridge. Apart from all that, if today Chelsea wins the match again and surprises us all, of course that is a result that cannot even be accepted by common sense and there is definitely something wrong with Manchester City. Cheesy
Last four meeting, Manchester City is dominance with winner record than Chelsea have loss all but regarding the impressive result last match when Chelsea defeated Tottenham Hotspur will be unpredictable thing few minutes later both teams face each other. Personally, Manchester City is favorite team to win against Chelsea and difficult for Chelsea repeat their winning trend last match due their opponent teams Tottenham Hotspur have played with 9 players.
Many predictions sites are giving it to Manchester City in spite of them playing away and by common sense I understand the sentiment behind the favouritism for Manchester City, Chelsea hasn't being impressive and consistent with their performance this season with a poor form that can't be correlated to that of City who are currently at the top of the EPL table.

It's not going to be an easy game for any  win to Chelsea in this game will be in luck as am not expecting much from Chelsea in the game. Surprises and strange results do happen in football and that's what Chelsea has right now to win this game. LUCK.

I have read many articles exaggerating bitcoin price prediction's from both those who claim to be professionals and diverse bitcoin enthusiasts which I felt the necessity within to drop this piece figuratively.

We are expecting too much from bitcoin in just a short time of about 13years since it's creation. By logic bitcoin is just a teenager who has not yet attained the status of adulthood like the forex market for example, yet it has penetrate and saturate the financial market (global economy) becoming the talk of the town in the internet like it has been here 50 years ago.

The high expectations should be moderated so we can be able to appreciate the milestone growth bitcoin price has made. Commensurable with its age bitcoin price is doing great and only those who are not highly expectant setting their price  scale at a great distance of 100k, 150k, 200k will care to appreciate the feat, some even predict as high as $1M in the next bull run and when the price doesn't go even close as expected they complain that the performance of bitcoin has been poor.

And this can be so discouraging for investors that planned on long term hodling with such a high expectancy. Learn to treat bitcoin like a teenager that's just coming up and still has its future ahead of it and stop the unequal comparison with other financial instruments like gold that have been around for decades.


A number of persons might suggest i move the topic to speculation board, however I fondle it also suites here because the topic is not giving a prediction for BTC price but otherwise.   
I agree with you, people tend to forget how new bitcoin is after all. We live in an era where we are used to have everything fast, and we want it now, that's why there are so many people who lose money while they try to get rich pretty much overnight with some ridiculous investment, people have no patience so they say that bitcoin doesn't work/it has failed because they have expectations that are just too high.
If am not mistaking prior to bitcoin there have existed other cryptocurrency before now which die before the project even started but here's bitcoin which at first greater number of us who are adopters today 10 years ago  never thought bitcoin could gain the value it has now with an ATH of $69k.

The mainstream is doing great when set juxtaposition to other tech devs that were all created same period with and that's why we've to appreciate that level it's going, too high expectations and predictions can be misleading to others who are just getting to adopt bitcoin when they read those high figures with expectations and at the end of the halving and bull run it wasn't met I wonder what thoughts would be going through their heads.

The pressure from Wolves was too intensive for Tottenham to contain despite haven conceded a goal in the early minutes of the game they didn't relent, just when we thought it was over they stole the win from Tottenham with  Sarabia and Lemina fabulous goals in the 90th and 97th minutes giving Spurs a defeat they never saw coming, a splashing disappointment for Tottenham making it a back to back consecutive defeat this season.

It was absolutely incredible for Wolves quite quickly finishing the match spot-on with victory within 7 minutes to the end of the game giving their fans something to be happy about as they go for the international break.
Wolves know that Tottenham are not too strong as they used to be, because they have some players suspended due to injury and their main creative midfielder Maddison was injured that was why they keep putting more pressure on Tottenham even after conceding an early goal in the match.

I am impressed with Wolves fighting spirit as they did not give up until the last minute of the match and they were very lucky to score two goals.

Tottenham’s set back has started, I know that it is just time for them, but right now if they are not careful, they will lose more matches because they have match against Aston Villa and Manchester City after the international brake, even if their players will be fully back, I doubt if they will go away with their next six points.
Several players who were injured and banned from playing affected Tottenham's game, and Wolves took advantage of it well and I saw the way they played in putting tight pressure on every Tottenham player. And Wolves made several good counterattacks even though they didn't score in the 90th minute, but in the extra minutes at the end of the match Wolves were able to make an extraordinary comeback.
And the 2-1 score for Wolves was well deserved. The reason is that Wolves played very well even though Tottenham controlled the ball throughout the match, and Tottenham suffered 2 defeats in a row after losing to Chelsea, before which Tottenham had never lost in the previous 10 matches. And for the next match, will they continue their defeat, because Tottenham will face Aston Villan and Manchester City who are much better than Wolves.
Porous defense was among other factors that made Tottenham lost the match   in addition to the absence of their regular start X1. Injuries from players is going to be a threat to Spurs as contenders for the EPL title this season as fans had thought.

The mistake has already been made and the lapses figured out, What the management needs now is the signing of the right players as substitutes that can fit into the positions  when keys players like Madison and Co are incapacitated by injury or other factors.

The easiest way to defeat an opponent is by having a knowledge of their weakness and that's what Wolves knew and surmounted the much pressure they gave to Tottenham in the hopes that they will breakthrough in the absence of Spurs key players and alas their pressure eventually earned them a tremendous victory at the last minutes.

While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.
Can't say about other but this tip would not be helpful to me,  perhaps an interested persons can try it and see how helpful it could be to them cause op must have experimented and it worked for him that's how he had to share it. Like I have read many tips that didn't produce the adored results ascribed to it which makes me ponder on which makes this one special.

This tip is like a self administered  therapy and a gambler that's lacking in self control from the onset just can't adhere to the tip all by himself. See what will happen; he'll keep using each note he sticks to the monitor one after the other without considering it was actually a tip that was meant to make him gamble responsibly.

Close support from responsible friends and colleagues will be much helpful than this tip, am not saying I don't fancy the tip by the way.

This second half, Tottenham haven't been too dominating, though they're are missing a lot of chances as well, a draw will be justifiable for me given their outstanding performance this second half, as it stands now is 1-1.
Wolves 2 - Tottenham 1

Wolves become the second team to hand Tottenham a defeat in this season after Chelsea put in the first blow. Very painful, two quick goals at the ending of the game and Tottenham loose their advantage. Wolves have now defeated two very big teams this season, Manchester City and Tottenham, and they are quickly building a reputation for themselves. They deserved to win against Tottenham because they maintained pressure on Tottenham defense all through the game from when they started, and they made sure that Son could not do much.

The injuries Tottenham have especially that of Madison is what has cost them this game. The game for Tottenham lacked the creativity of Madison.
The pressure from Wolves was too intensive for Tottenham to contain despite haven conceded a goal in the early minutes of the game they didn't relent, just when we thought it was over they stole the win from Tottenham with  Sarabia and Lemina fabulous goals in the 90th and 97th minutes giving Spurs a defeat they never saw coming, a splashing disappointment for Tottenham making it a back to back consecutive defeat this season.

What makes me even angrier is that these licensed casinos do very little to offer gamblers resources to play responsibly, and do nothing to educate gamblers about house edge.
Gambling is an adult activity and as adult you shouldn't expect to be spoon-fed all in. You have got some responsibility to read things for yourself as I believe that's part of being a responsible gambler as you begin to gamble. Imbibing the culture of reading the ToS of casinos can save us from certain mistakes.

And Greece isn't a rich country by any means. Many families are facing hardship, unemployment is high, youth emigration is rising etc... Things don't look particularly good for the economy in general.

What do you think about this issue where people gamble too much in countries where the vast majority of the population isn't well off? Should governments step in and restrict casinos more perhaps?
poor or rich country should matter whether casinos settle there or not. The governmnt won't chased away these casinos and the casinos won't leave if they're getting good returns. It's left for the citizens to realize they are poor and stop gambling with the little money they have and when the casinos comprehend they are not making profits they will will have to exit on their own. If you all keep waiting for the government you'll wait for endlessly.

The casinos are not operating for free the government are benefiting from the taxes they pay using those tax money to run other infrastructural affairs of the country. The government desire that tax money more than you could imagine which is why you can't get the strict restrictions you expecting of the government to gambling companies in their country.

At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.
You don't need a good reason to explain the behavior carried out by that person's friends, after all, gambling is a game of money and there are no friends or relations in it, there is only profit alone.  In fact, there are quite a lot of blood relatives who are fighting over inheritance issues, so what the man's friend did was actually quite natural, from this incident the man had to learn to manage his circle of friends well, let not him become friends again with someone like that because of that if he continues to be friends with that person, he won't get any luck, just bad luck always.
So what you're trying to say is that there are friends that are bad luck and keeping company with them can perpetually bring you bad luck and hard winning chances and peradventure they get to have a huge win before you they're just going to kick your ass and leave the companion. And in all of this you think it's natural that people should act this way. Oh wow!

Don't you think that a man that's betrayed of by someone he called a friend but wasn't truly a friend as had thought, will such a man want to have himself in the circle of friends again? Any new circle of friendship will imply to be a joke for him. For once beaten twice shy. Fair enough we make friends in other activities of life why should that of gambling be distinctive.

write your country in addition to the commission, or download Bisq and search for someone who trades peer-to-peer.
Facebook and Twitter are good options if the amount is small and there is Bitcoin trading activity in your country.
Trade in a public place with small amounts.
Bisq is more suitable to use in this case and not through any social media platforms FB or X as there has turned to a breeding ground for scammers to prey on unfamiliarity and inexperiences of crypto newbies.
972  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My $50,000 betting goal by 2024. Share Your Thoughts With Me. on: November 10, 2023, 03:37:04 PM
I consider this year in terms of betting to be over. I have had some pretty decent wins. However, one mistake I made was not starting this year with a betting goal, which would have been the specific amount of money I intended to win. Instead, I began the year with the goal of gambling responsibly, and I'd rate myself around 80% in achieving that.

I am sharing my sports betting goal for next year with the gambling community because I highly value your insights and seek advice for any adjustments. I hope to gain expert advice. My goal for next year is to generate $50,000 through betting. Here are the strategies I plan to employ:
I don't mean to ridicule your strategies you have  set for yourself to use for next year but I'll like to point it out to you that not because you made an 80% success in your goal of gambling responsibly this year them you are going to achieve similar success with setting a goal of generating $0k in 2024.

Gambling responsibly and winning a specific targeted amount of cash are two distinctive things. The former is within our control and proficiency to decide upon while the latter is out of control we are not in control of our luck as we gamble that's what makes the difference.

If you hold on to this unrealistic goal for next year 2024 you find yourself gambling more than ever and what will follow is gambling addiction as a result of you struggling by all possible methods and techniques to achieve Orr go close to $50k win. It's not in our place to budget for a specific win we just have to let our luck shine

What impact does the BTC price have on your play (gambling both in casino/sports betting/binary options etc)?

Real and core gamblers careless about the price of Bitcoin when they want to gamble, their only concern is if they have the bitcoins to gamble with. If they have bitcoins to fund their account with, they are good to go. The passive gamblers, that is people who gamble less often like me will be concerned about the price of bitcoins because we are not used to loosing to gambling and any bitcoin we loose during a time when bitcoin is performing well will hurt very much.
You are correct about this it's only gamblers like us that gamble less often that will be  worried about bitcoin price and their gambling going by how every bitcoin they lose they would be thinking of how much profit they could have made from it with bitcoin price rising in future. But a true gambler, one who have soaked himself to gambling care less or nothing about the price of bitcoin when he wants to gamble.

Technically it's with polls of this nature that we get to know who the true gamblers are, differentiating the boys from the men when we talk gambling though those that are struggling with gambling addiction should consider themselves as core gamblers because a core gambler should know better how to be in charge of his response-ability in gambling. Anything out of the equation you're just part of the problem to the negative aspersions from society about gamble.

974  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Treating bitcoin as a teenager. on: November 10, 2023, 12:24:49 PM
Your logic is quite interesting, but it is what it is. Bitcoin is still young, but many people wants it to be worth a million even before it turns 18 years old, when we can actually consider it a full adult. Although it's just a lot of speculation for some people, for those who actually take those predictions so seriously, they end up getting disappointed if the price actually doesn't get to what they had expected. For me, I accept my faith in whatever outcome I get and am not very bet on resting my hope on one thing. Let's assume that Bitcoin doesn't get to $100k this coming bull market.
-snip-
To be precise, Bitcoin is now 14 years old and this is still very young for Bitcoin.
But seeing the many impacts that occur in the economic sector Bitcoin plays a role as the most desirable digital asset,
Bitcoin is growing well until now with several adoptions made.
By the age it's crystal clear bitcoin has over performed itself and it's by this extraordinary performance in the economic sector by a digital asset that is not under the control of any particular central authority that has twisted the thoughts of people to expect it to do much more but within a short time and that probably can't be achievable in the shortest frame.

People who only speculate about the price of Bitcoin that can reach $1 million or even more because they are too obsessed with Bitcoin and want Bitcoin to reach that price. For me, I don't really expect an unreasonable price for now.
IMO, Saying they are too obsessed which is why they speculate $1 million is like giving an excuse for them, for me it's impatient they are exercising and not obsession. I bet you should bitcoin hit a $1 million price today or in the next bull run many people will be scared of continuing suspecting a fowl play next on.

Just $100k if it is really achieved is my first target point.
But if as you said, Bitcoin is not able to reach the ATH of $100k and tends to be below that is certainly not a problem,
$80k-$90k is a good enough price to take some profits.
$100k sounds logical, achievable somehow and if it doesn't we all have to be cool with what price we get, plus or minus we won't be getting a poor price.

We can't stop the prediction now because it from the onset. And it is this high expectancy of prediction that making people to have hope and invest in it. So the prediction is necessary as for me. That expectation is interesting part of bitcoin. Yes as you said, bitcoin is still in it teenage age but it matured pass it colleagues in the ecosystem. I don't think the prediction can be moderated because there is a freedom of speech and everyone has the right to predict any amount of their choice.

It is the predictions that making Investors to come more so it will not discourage them but instead it bring more people to invest in it.
The high expectations predictions sure can be moderated provided we all respectively decides to be intentional with our predictions and not out of a freedom of speech as you stated and not using bitcoin price prediction as a medium to sell our personality and institution to public notice. Because I observe these millionaires we classify as whales pull up some of these figures from nowhere just to sell their name in the news.

Whether we predict the price so high or moderate new and more investors will continue to resurface bitcoin doesn't need our high predictions to attract in new investors. A good investor would have to do his own research and know for himself to invest in a project or not and not by what the crowd are chanting.

Being patient and consistently involved in healthy gambling habits will surely make you a successful gambler. If you are newbie who is interested in gambling and has been following the gambling community here or any where online or offline, your purpose should be to learn as much as possible from the shared experiences of others such that you can eventually branch out independently, allowing you to operate without dependence on others.
What can we call success in gambling?
° Is it been a responsible gambler with falling to addiction all the years of your gambling?
° Is it even capable of having winnings and making money out of gambling that can be referred to being successful?
I wish to know as a result of how success in gambling could have variance to people.

Well your question is very appropriate in this discussion, honestly I also never thought and did not really believe if there were people who were successful in gambling, this is personally and according to my own perspective. Let's think logically, the first point is that gambling is random in terms of winning and for the results it will always depend on how lucky you are at that time, the second point is that there is absolutely no guarantee for anyone to be able to win there, and the point when there is no certainty for anyone to achieve the results they expect. Honestly, I don't really care if they are responsible gamblers or not but even if you are responsible, this activity is really not recommended, no one will be able to achieve success in gambling because there is no element of success at all such as the process to achieve their goals and also on the other hand how could they seek success in a place that only relies on luck for the expected results? And there is also no consistency in it, the fact is that defeats will occur more often than the occasional victory and with this it can be concluded that there is no consistency in achieving something in the final session, everything will go randomly about how lucky you are at that time. Does this make sense? Think about it.
You're definite to breakneck placing your success on gambling, there's no successful on planet earth that became successful by luck but hardwork whereas gambling don't recognize hardwork if you are not lucky no matter how much effort you apply into gambling you just wasting your time and energy.

Its not a salary tied career that we should expect to consistently make money from it either weekly or monthly as income. And taking into consideration gamblers that were lucky to win a big amount that changed their status somehow if we dig deep into their gambling record we will be sure to record a total of all the money they have loss to gambling to be of equivalent to the bug amount they just won and are feeling like they are successful.

The fucking side about this is that those scraping their profits thru this token are on a deaf ears about the complaints flying around. Grin

It doesn't seem like any body can put a stop on the Ordinals issue on Blockchain as there are sets of investors that are taking succor from it not just the developers and talking about stopping is like stopping their benefits.

At one of the local gambling shop I visited during the weekend I happened to listen to a conversation between two bald looking gamblers at the shop talking about one of their gambling colleague who had won a big amount of money amounting to a million in the local currency and due to that win this colleague of theirs' has been avoiding them since e won that money. From their conversation it was obvious that they were a circle of close three friends that gamble together.

After all I finished with my bet headed home and was asking myself what could the colleague act that way avoiding his close friends they all gambling together and just because luck shines on him first he decides to create a distance and class. I couldn't actually annex a good reason why anyone should do that.
I think he had a personal reason for his actions, but if they were truly close friends and not just gambling buddies, he wouldn't behave that way. Sometimes, celebrating victories with friends is great, but it's not necessary every time. In life, not everyone is genuinely happy for your success some might be envious and pretend to join your celebrations. Personally, I usually bring all my close friends along whenever I have a victory.

I think if they are close friends and not close because of gambling involvement I don't think they should avoid their friends when they get a win, a win in gambling doesn't have a strong enough reason for them to avoid one of their friends, although maybe I can't say that's entirely true because it depends on their personality too, and if they are a stingy person then no matter whether it's a close or distant friend they will still behave stingy by hiding their winnings.

So I think it depends on the friendship between the two people and also depends on the personal nature of the person who gets the winnings, and also on the other hand actually the person who wins has the freedom to whatever they want to do with the money, there is no other person's right to your luck, and maybe if you are generous then you can share a small portion of the winnings with others. Of course, while on the other hand enjoying the winnings with friends is fun, I always do that because there is a thrill and enjoyment in itself, honestly I don't care whether or not people are jealous of my luck but what is certain is that I have increased solidarity by doing good to them, and as for whether or not they will be happy with my luck is up to them.

Sometimes we have to be people who should not get attached in some way to others, get attached to the fact of considering friends to people who in reality are not just, but are companions, who mainly noticed that what there was was a companion where there was no He had no type of connection with others, merely as playmates, where each one shared a meeting or something like that, because a friend does not really forget the people who have helped him, in part the people who are from this style they have to clarify to others what they are, because if they are like that then you must be very clear so as not to have false expectations, in a casino in anything that is going to be done by risking money, you have to be very clear, obviously They were 3 friends, colleagues, they should have agreed on something first of all, so that any of the 3 when they have a high income of money, then in some way give some percentage and in this way many things are avoided, that is why everything has to be balanced .
Money is power, if you want to have a revelation of what is in the heart of a poor man give him money a lump amount he has never had in his possession as rightfully belonging to him before. That's when you'll be sure if that man was definitely meek, humble and friendly with you or it was just poverty that humbled his ego and real nature.

Majority of us are hanging around people we call friends who deep inside they don't see us as friends but mere companions. For the very fact that we receipt them as friends based on how we have been together doing things together for a long periods of time doesn't mean they in same vein mirror us in same manner.
 Many friendships and acquaintance that is still intact today is because money hasn't come into the center of things to test that supposed union. We got to be careful the type of people we quickly call friends for the sake of  our own sanity.
