2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Becoming a sports fan due to gambling on: June 13, 2025, 10:18:34 PM
I have heard of people who decide they want to become a sports fan because they want to gamble. In your opinion, does this make sense? Would it not affect how you see the matches when your goal is to bet? You might already have some confirmation bias where you see gamblers always bet for a specific team and when you finally watch a match your brain tells you that the gamblers were right.

Can people actually end up liking a sport from wanting to gamble? or is this not sustainable as their interest in the sport fizzles out in the future?
Of course, most of the people in this forum where never sport people and had never for once there live liked to be a fan of a club but because they are in a campaign that is required to post in gambling board it has made them to begin to see reasons with people who are sport fans and hence even gamble because they are part of a gambling campaign. so of course everything is possible if you see someone say they are only interested in a sport because they want to gamble, yeah it could be true.

Gaming and gambling does not have much of a connection because both operate under two different principles.
You're simply trying to make things more difficult for yourself here as gaming and gambling have a lot in common as it's just a thin line that differentiates them. Of course you understand the little difference which you already mentioned in the part I edited out but if you say they have nothing in common then you're contradictory to your own self.

Gambling is gaming with money, having fun with money in old but gaming is just doing it for the pleasure sake. in gambling you may not participate in the gaming but stake in support of another person or people's performance.

In Gaming you're physically involved or virtually involved.

In gambling there is benefit at the end while in gaming it's just fun all through.

With the increasing rate of criminal activities globally, discussing how to identify criminal activities like hacks, Phishing, scams, ponzi schemes, etc, will not be a bad idea. Many people have been victims because they lack basic cybersecurity knowledge. Members might also benefit greatly when we discuss how to protect our wallets and devices from these criminals.
I highly recommend this too!

The cyber space is threatened by scams and this scams doesn't just happen within the few types of criminal activities fiatless mentioned but it also happens in exchanges, recently there is a new trend of traders getting scammed of few Nairas and dollars by P2P merchants, this type of discussion can be included in the cyber security which fiatless mentioned above.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is holding Bitcoin generally good? on: June 13, 2025, 05:50:25 PM
Firstly the new Phase that bitcoin has gotten to is the phase of more scarcity as institutions and governments are beginning to hold bitcoin and of course your curiosity is understandable, is that really what Satoshi wanted bitcoin to be? a tool for holding and getting profit from?

Of course not, bitcoin holding is as important as it's trading, most of the people here are always of the opinion that you should hold a good percentage of bitcoin to yourself but not all the coins can be held in a wallet so t still doesn't obstruct anything.

Additionally we still have more bitcoin to be mined right so there is still bitcoin in supply. Transacting bitcoin is very important for bitcoin network but holding also contributes to it's scarcity.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Only Bitcoin is really scarce, Shitcoins aren't on: June 13, 2025, 05:36:25 PM
If we have to compare bitcoin for it's Kingship, there is no coin that matches it only one altcoins have been able to hold one features of bitcoin more than bitcoin itself, which monero- an extreme privacy coin but when we have other features bitcoin is the king as we have known it.

In terms of scarcity, I'm afraid in future if we will be able to have large portfolios as institutions, governments etc are going to hold it good part of it and even make it more scarce that it is today. Limited supply is one but the new phase it have achieved is also another fact.

You never know with theymos.

He may well employ the rule of threes, meaning that he might do three things, and more than one of them might end up with the addition of more merit sources in a short period of time, so in that sense, he could even have two or three phases to his project of adding merit sources and making a few other revisions that go along with it that could follow within a month or two.
Of course nothing is certain but things could still change especially if things end up being that some of the new merit sources or old merit source become dormant or inactive with a short period of time and the circulation in a particular boards seizes then Theymos might also want to make a little changes one more time with this period.

The fact is from my experience odds changes as soon as a match begins, it could be nothing changing in the field of players, no injuries etc but most times when I watch the matches I then to see reasons why the odds changes for instance it could be that the lower odds (underdogs) are pushing forward with strength trying to surpass the bigger team hence it results to change of odds as speculation begins to hit around if the underdogs could truly win.

So the most reason behind this odd changes is strength/possession changes.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Dear Banks, Please Keep Printing More Money. (LOL) on: June 10, 2025, 09:23:59 AM
It's very unfortunate that the Act of money printing is a generational coincidence, Of course we might seem immune because we have a little of our wealth stored in bitcoin which gives us a bit of guarantee that it will appreciate over 4 years but then if you person have you assets stored in bitcoin does everyone around too? of course not them it affects you indirectly, hence I see no fun in government printing more money because it's basically hitting even the slightest person.

Imagine you want a BMW worth of $30k and you have $15k worth of BTC and you kept it waiting for bitcoin to appreciate so you can buy them inflation hits and the BMW is now $60k price double and you bitcoin price too double so you have only $30k yet you're unable to afford the same vehicle. It's just unfortunate whether we like it or not we all are suffering this bullshit.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bet on underdog, win 50% and be profitable on: June 09, 2025, 04:24:50 PM
Naah! haven't taken underdogs to have this experience but it's still likely that one will loss the winning chance is low and is probably just as a regular bet. the probability of one wining is just between luck, time and chance.

It's a good idea for the exploration days, most of the time when one is bored of regular casino, sport betting or what one is used to you can turn to this kind of experiment and it's going to add to ones experience in gambling. while I was just thinking of it what if that's the strategy that will favour someone everyday or most times and has never been thought of? ima try this out.
11  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin family shares their secret on: June 08, 2025, 09:02:16 PM
Being so popular for bitcoin is very dangerous, threats will come from everywhere, getting identified in public etc  makes one become so uncomfortable. I love the fact that the head of the family too a very hard and good decision by choosing to stay low profile that will help them get rid of some threats.

The only thing he fail to do is to keep shut already having mention that he has his seed phrase spread across the continent will even make him more vulnerable to threats.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When it comes to gambling, supports may not be reciprocated by the benefactors. on: June 08, 2025, 06:07:58 PM
In gambling environment? never ever expect to have anything back because those guys in there are suckers, you give they take, but you don't dare to ask them for help.

I can't really sum up a word for this man you're talking about but bro was too quick to success and was too quick to run out, it's happening every day. not just in the casino but in every local bet centres. I have been told countless times how this men loss everything after good wins and sharing with the people around.

However I don't even speak out expect to one person and he is also the source of how I started every thing have right now so I freely open up to only him and some family members after I have made some good investments out of my wins, it's best to even quit once you hit a huge win infact if possible run out of the casino for your mental health, money etc.
13  Other / Meta / Re: [FUN] Hey theymos, what have you done? Lol. on: June 08, 2025, 05:56:53 PM
Board is still having an ongoing party of merit, I guess you intentionally skipped to use the word merit again on your thread title lolz  Grin

Guess what ? big regrets I should have applied.
Yet we still have other anti-merit system pushing the word merit forward by requesting a merit system rework after this merit source granted.

Don't blame theymos as your application was not granted, try to be better active than before maybe next time you will get the chance.
This next time is really going to be a long one. Not sure the need for adding would be there anytime soon.
14  Other / Meta / Re: Merit source rework on: June 08, 2025, 05:36:35 PM
Campaign manager should do their job to check the post quality instead of relying on merit count for fuck sake if signature campaign is the reason for this gate keeping Lord @LoyceV.
What is the merit system for? even though we might argue that the merit system isn't fair as much as it should be yet we know merit to be a reward for quality post, then if one makes an obvious quality post don't you think the user will be in the category of most merited that you believe managers use? of course they would, so relying on merit count not good?

Yet I believe everything is even checked because I have been once rejected from a campaign because I hail from a particular local board the manager (Hhampuz) clearly started that he has a lot of participants from same local so he wouldn't add more which means he checked my posting stats, I have also once be rejected for not making enough gambling post which the campaign is based on, I'm more of a general board poster and make less gambling post hence was rejected all this still post back to the fact that truly managers do confirm all round before one is accepted in to any campaign and I don't there is an exception.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A man stole $6 from his girlfriend to gamble, or maybe he didn't! on: June 08, 2025, 05:11:33 PM
This is a post someone made regarding the story; What will you do if you’re on his shoe? realising it was built on lies makes me wonder if most of the story we've been getting are really true, but regardless of whether true there is a moral lesson from this stories because it's going related and we discuss that hence nothing is impossible it could be a fake story today but because a true story of someone here in the forum or related.

We learnt how important it is to keep mute of some things, how not everyone should be trusted with some information because it could backfire etc.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not taking risks can actually be good? on: June 07, 2025, 10:17:46 PM
Of course not taking risk can be good too and beneficial but then it also limits you from a lot of opportunities, you might save yourself from some financial mistakes in gambling today hy not taking that big risk but you can also be making a very big financial mistake by not taking it, infact in gambling it's always a 50/50 chance for everything, if you try you might loss but stand a chance to win at already but if you don't try you save a little amount of money but then put yourself in a situation of missing out.

It's a viz vice it has a two side either you go for win or you stay for losses.
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: New to this Forum? Here is how Bitcointalk can help you Earn a legit Income on: June 07, 2025, 08:32:38 PM
Perhaps a lot of people are already adding your post or you to ignore list for making this kind of thread, because basically this community is a place of growth for your bitcoin knowledge but at the side of this people do get benefits for being so acting helping and getting helped out in this forum and thous signature campaigns partition is one.

I will ask you to clear your mind from earns over learning, do you know that those who earn already learned, it's about learning and not earning is the benefit for learning, best you start finding you the real knowledge and other stuffs than get fixed on earning it will cost you a lot of things as desperateness will step in and ruin time here.

A word is enough for the wise.

20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Knowledgeable sports bettor vs bettor merely going with favorite on: June 06, 2025, 11:51:09 PM
In sport there is nothing as good as having the knowledge about the games and teams that are playing this way you can then use the available information to make your decisions on the games to bet, which team to give the winning to and which team to avoid in your bets selections, you don't have to bet on a clubs just because their are your fav, it doesn't work that way unless you are ready to lose constantly

Even the club players sometimes do not even count on themselves when it comes to playing against stronger teams then comes someone who is just a fan taking them based on favourites, it's absolutely insane in my opinion, except one is generally looking for losses instead of profit or wins. Gambling is about taking the possible chance in odds to get the most out of a casino since it's about a win or loss game.
