1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does prediction in sport work for you? on: June 13, 2024, 10:38:46 PM
If you are interested in gambling on sports, do you rely on prediction betting sites? Why?
What is the most prominent site you rely on?
I don't rely on prediction sites before I place my bet because I am not comfortable playing a game that was not predicted by me. Playing a game from prediction sites is not my thing, and it has not worked out for me the times I played games from prediction sites. If I want to place a bet on sports, I will check the last performance of each club and their position in the league table to know which clubs are likely to lose their match. This strategy has helped me have some huge winnings in gambling, and it also helps me place bets according to my emotions.
Playing bet base on your own opinion is actually the best thing for someone to do because not all the time predictions site win they also suffer lost, they are just human like me and you, they can also make mistakes in times of booking bet, depending on them always may make someone to be lazy even though they can analyse the game in such a way that they are good at it but solely depends on the predictions site, after they lost they start making excuses that the site fall to analyse it. I really like your view on this, making decisions yourself is the best because you have no one to blame for your lost and again you learn from past mistakes to prevent the future.

Op I agree with you, the money that is in the gambling platform is not yours untill you withdraw it and use it to buy something else the money will use for another attractive games again and if your luck is not good that time again then you will lose all. So the best thing is to withdraw the wins and if your want to continue gambling then you remain the amount you want to use and withdraw the rest. So you will know that you won something.
In every aspect of our lives, the best part that is suppose to be used to justify an individual is the ending part. So the end justifies who we are. You can not say you are winning while you are still in the game and the money has not been withdrawn yet. In gambling, you only have rest of mind when you have been able to withdraw the money successfully. But when you have not seen or known what will going to happen in the end, your mouth will be shut of words and even if everybody is trying to get your attention, you will only be focused on what will happen to your money that you invest in gambling. You will feel disturbed,anxious and worried.
So even if you said you are winning, you just said it but in reality, you are not until you have made the withdrawal.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Understanding the Impact of Social Media in Gambling. on: June 12, 2024, 09:42:34 PM
Even they know the target audience, how they can able to limit kids that watching to their videos? no way.

This problem is caused by money.

The parents didn't learn parenting skills, so they don't know whether they should allow their kids to use cellphone or not. Even they know it's not good to let their kids to use cellphone, they can't really control their kids due to lack of time. Lack of time caused by they need to work in order to earn money.
They said money is the root of all evil!   in our today's life, nobody cares what is happening to others, or what will happen. let alone try to control it from happening or stop it when it's happening already. Everybody is just busy with how the money will come where they are going to get it from. Social media don't care about their impact on the viewers. Thay are only concern about promoting their post, how many viewers they have and numbers of likes they get from their users.

The most funniest part of it is that, even the parents today don't show most concern anymore. They know nothing about what their children are doing on social media. They don't also care about at what age their children will start using cellphone. Some of these parents will even be showing that they are even happy that their children are using smart phone already even at their adolescence age. The government don't also care about what kind of things to be post on each page and groups of the social media.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Trading or gambling? on: June 12, 2024, 09:26:22 PM
In gambling, you can use $5 or $10  to gamble to win big money while trading require big money before you can earn big money from your trading, and you can gamble without having the experience of gambling and win which you can't try such in trading.

If you have the experience of gambling like the way some gamblers use to win all the time from gambling, you can turn to millionaires through gambling, and you will prefer it than trading which you have to wait for bull run before you can trade to take profits that will going to suit you.

Gambling is everyday gamble while trading has a particular season traders use to trade to earn profits from their trading which is bull run,  and the way I use to experience joy whenever am playing games, I don't use to experience such joy from trading.
Although, it depends on what kind of trading you are doing. Sometimes you can be buying a specific coin to save while the other coin that you have in your wallet is due for trading. that's, is due for selling. And when you sell it, you will as well gain from it. So, to me, it depends on your knowledge about trading and gambling, which of them you specialize on. Also, what i like most with trading is that, if really you know what you are doing, and you are patient enough to wait for the right time, even if it is little profits you are going to get it.  But as for the gambling, the more money you stake, the more the profits like that of trading. And you can still use small amount of money and win big. But don't also forget that when the Lost comes, most of the time, what mostly happened is that you may lose all of your money as well.

Greediness is the greatest enemy of both. So you try and hold yourself to be contented with the little gain to avoid regret at the end.
5  Economy / Economics / Re: Leadership and Economics on: June 11, 2024, 09:06:22 PM
There was a time when the economic system and politics in a country had nothing to do with each other. Then, John Maynard Keynes came up with his theory and suddenly the government became the backbone of a lot of Economies. Many Economists were against the theory propounded by John Maynard because they believed putting everything in the hands of the government was wrong. They believed individuals should make decisions and face the effects of those decisions and also government decisions weren't always all that.

The point I'm trying to make here is that government decisions affect the economy in this age, yeah? Whatever they say stands, so their leadership is very important. One of the most important under-looked stimulants of economic hardship is bad government that makes bad decisions for the country. And then, on the other hand, countries that enjoy good economies usually have good governments. I could give a few examples but that may not be in my place.
Of course government of a particular country is directly related to how the economy of such country is been piloted. If governments have nothing related to the economy, then what are they govern?
When a particular country's Economy is in good condition, is the effort of the government. that's why central banks of a country is control by the government and all other commercial banks are receiving orders from central banks. That's also why government have a particular ministry called finance ministry and also have minister of finance.

Likewise, when the economy is unpalatable, it also the government that will be hold responsible. Government of a particular country can take different actions to boost the economy of the country, if he wants. there are also different ways by which the currency of a particular country is been given value and devalued. That's also why sometimes, you will be hearing that the government will be saying that the country is in recession. Government should make sure there local products are given value to.
6  Economy / Economics / Re: The government cares for no one but waits for you to get rich for taxes paying. on: June 11, 2024, 06:47:26 PM
Most governments function in this manner thanks to the human greed factor which is something that will most probably never change in my honest opinion. They tax the hell out of earning people in order to survive.

Very few governments don't unfairly tax everyone though, but they make sacrifices in some other places. This is reality sadly.
Nobody cares for anybody. Anybody who will pretend to care for you, even if he or she does, he or she is doing it for some reasons known or unknown to you. Except one's mother in most cases. Every other person 's care has limits. Being it Your brother, sister, uncle, aunty, nephew, nieces and friends. Let alone government that doesn't even know you let talk of knowing your condition. And if you are talking about caring for the entire citizens, greediness, selfishness, wickedness and lack of sympathy will not allow the government to care about their people.

Government that are so greedy to the extent of not being able to pay even their citizens salaries anymore? Government that are so selfish to the level of looking for a possible way  of making the condition of their citizens worse than the one they are? Government that is focusing on empowering their own children and wives? They only know how to loot public funds. For example, my country Nigeria, things are getting worst everyday. our current president i don't even know what to say about him. is he confused or he is just deceiving us? Or he is just been wicked to the citizens? Imagine this man spending billions of Nigeria's currency on useless anthem while students are on strike, workers are on strike due to economic hardship, lack of the payment of outstanding salaries, lack of good roads and other infrastructural mismanagement.

The most painful aspect of it, is that, since the coming of this government, the first things he introduced were removal of fuel subsidy, unification of foreign exchange and increments of tax leveled on companies and industries which all made the condition of the citizens difficult. And as at the time of my writing the government has not done anything about it. God is our savior.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: Hyperinflation - Will it lead Countries to Adopt Bitcoin? on: June 11, 2024, 05:30:41 PM
I feel like El Salvador brought to peoples the idea of how governments look at crypto change a bit, because they are quite good at looking towards this situation and that did not end up well for any other nation. Sure they may have made it legal tender, and maybe a few more nations in the future may make it legal tender but these are smaller nations.

I mean we are talking about nations who can put all the money they afford and it is still less than some rich guy at wall street making an investment. We have seen ETF world put tens of times more than what that one nation could, so a small nation making it legal tender means nothing. People however will keep on investing because they think it will be good for them.
If Bitcoin is made legal tender, it will be better. There might be possibilities that some countries may come to reconsider it. there are few countries that have already made it legal tender.

Countries like EL-salvador who was the first country in the world to make it legal tender in June 2021, follow by the central African republic in April 2022.
Most developed countries that claim to be the super power in the world are still using Bitcoin for buying and selling. Example of these countries are USA, UK CANADA. infact, USA government is known to have held the largest Bitcoin reserve at the time of writing. with over 210 000 Bitcoin. But still, there are other countries that have even banned it's uses completely CHINA and SAUDI ARABIA are included in these countries that have made the use of Bitcoin illegal.

Bitcoin is still at it's infant stage, it has not matured fully. So it may sound too early to say something deep about countries adopting it or not, but there are great possibilities that Bitcoin might be reconsidered as a legal tender but the main problem is, it has no uniform international laws that regulates it. But despite with that, since there are using it in most of the countries for buying and selling, and their transaction is successfully moving on, then if they really care about the well being of their citizens, the United Nations body will just come together and discuss it.
8  Economy / Economics / Re: Involve an attorney in your business dealings. on: June 11, 2024, 06:10:06 AM

Okay that's interesting. Didn't knew buying or investing in real estate is that complex. That made me appreciate crypto more because we are free here. I guess being decentralized is also another factor that made it possible. There are still scams here but it may not really be a big deal since we can choose to invest and lose only small amounts too.

I think that a business or a venture relating to real estates, will still need a lawyer because they sound so formal too and this is for us to avoid troubles. They can be costly but it can be nothing if mullions and more dollars are involved in the deal and who says we can't get our ROI? We can, if we will get successful.
Today, almost everywhere, scammers are trying to dupe innocent individuals by all means. It's left for everybody to take heed of these scammers and protect him or her self by all means. Business people need to protect their business at all costs to make sure he or she isn't duped by these unscrupulous individuals. One of the best ways by which business people protect their business is by having a legal backing. That's, by employing lawyers to involve in any kind of transactions that they are going to carry out.
This will also make them to understand what law says about their business and entire life. it makes them to know their duties, right and responsibilities.
It also teaches them to know their does and don't.
9  Economy / Economics / Re: Things to avoid when you earn a lot or become rich on: June 11, 2024, 05:39:52 AM
I remember an ideology which says that if you move to level three (pertaining to net worth) don't be in a rush to upgrade your lifestyle as well on the same level. For me it simply means to create a margin with how much you have and how much you would spend because if it would be equal, then nothing will change. Personally, whenever I am planning to buy new things like a new phone, I do check if I could buy it 10x first before actually making a purchase, which works for me and allows me to not be on a financial burden for the next days or months. Becoming rich indeed is a wonderful thing to happen in everyone's life and for sure it would be tempting to buy anything you would want to however if things won't be consistent you have to consider managing your cashflow still.

The journey of life is a continuous process. It means no matter what you are doing, no matter where you are. The only thing that you need is to rest at some point and then move on again. even if you seem to be the most educated person in the world, you must keep learning for you to be who you are. This means, even the richest person in the world will keep on struggling for more money for him to maintain that position of being the richest person in the world. Don't just because of the fact that you are rich already and relax.
Furthermore, keep it in mind that even if you are rich, you have to be humble and treat others with respect. Nobody is a island, everyone needs another person either directly or indirectly.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: June 10, 2024, 05:14:08 PM
Children do learn very fast expecially when they are seeing it practically, so it never a good idea we should gamble in front of our kids because paraventure they learn doing this  things you might probably be in danger as there parents because you will the to take full responsibility of what will be the outcome probably they might start stealing in order to gamble they might be caught on the process and get arrested you as the parents will still be the one to bail them out, there are some things we shouldn't do in the presence of our kids not just gambling but smoking as well or beating your wife in the presence of your kids.
Gambling in front of the children shouldn't happen because children at young age don't have their own opinion they copy all what their parents do, not until they asked them to learn from but one thing with children even by watching they are learning, doing all sorts of bad things in from of them is actually wrong, even the father that his engage gambling faces a lot of challenges in process of gambling, he know what he felt when he lost and again father can be able to control himself when gambling, he knows when money has finished and he face the consequences of any thing that happened since he is an adult. But when it come to children issue father will the responsibility, we shouldn't gamble in their presence to avoid future problems that can be out of hand.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling bad to the society? on: June 10, 2024, 04:47:15 PM
Being addicted or irresponsible gambler doesn’t mean you can harm the society unless the gambler does an action that affects the community then this is true. Some of the addicted gambler usually just play on their own silently since they spend most of their time in the casino instead of joining to do the society.
I agree with you that gamblers always play silently but their silence is not because of the society effects, am not trying to argue with you but to state the fact of my community where I live, gamblers always stay indoor so that people may not notice that they gamble, in my community most gamblers due collect money from people in the name of something else either for business purposes or school issues, so with this they affect communities indirectly because when someone comes for this same purpose people will see them as a gambler, he has blocked the chances of many.


Quote
I believe the close family is the one will be affected financially if ever the gambler is using the money intended for his family but that’s not always the case so let’s stop generalizing an addicted is harmful to everyone.

There is not doubt about this because the family faces all the trouble that they brings home, when something haven't happened to you you will see it has normal things that can be settled but if it comes your head you will no how big it is, a family was involved in the gambling which almost make him addicted, right now we are still battling financial crisis he engaged us.
12  Economy / Economics / Re: Should there be a limit to investing in your children? on: June 10, 2024, 02:23:32 PM
Do you think parents should have a limit on the amount they can invest in their children?

It is responsibility of every parent to take care of their children because it their duties not because they love them or they should come and take care of them in future, they shouldn't be limit in investing in children and again point of correction it's not investments but a responsibilities for him to do because if he said it investment then what gain does his father get from him after investing in him and what have him return to his own father has profit return invest, it may likely be that his own father have passed away before he start to enjoy the investment made on him, if so how will he pay back when they are waiting for the children to return the profit.

Has its responsibility of father to take care of his children when they are young that is how it's also children responsibility to take care of their parents when the have the means or not, this is how it should look like.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: The choice of investment is dependent on your region of residency. on: June 10, 2024, 02:03:56 PM
Really good piece of advice and it stands true atleast in my country as it really depends because I stay in a region where if you invest into real estate you will surely get profits in couple of earning but the region which falls with 50 miles from my place there has been no appreciation in the value of real estate for decades, similarly it stands true for every single business as that's why analysis of region is very important and play a major role.

The issue of location is an important factors when it comes to any investment, make a lot of research regarding the choices of a location determined how the investment will improve, investing in a place where the  raw material are available make the investment easy.

Regarding the investment location, in place where I live we are into rice farming which we produce tonnes of it, before, we due move it out for sell but since investors found out that we have access of it they decided to move down to our community to build a rice mill factory so they can have easy access to the farmer and also reduce lost for both of them especially for the farmers.

15  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it still possible to retire early? on: June 08, 2024, 12:32:15 PM
In summary, early retirement is a choice. The global economy is making it difficult to achieve it, but we can still try our best to plan toward enjoying it by saving, investing, and healthy living.
In my estimation early retirement is a choice if you leave in an economy that is already developed. In an economy where the government actually cares for her citizens and have been able to provide the basic and amenities for them. But if you leave in an economy that is still developing early retirement will only be a wish. Because you can't retire early and have it going good for you. In this type of economy you have to work twice as hard to even erk out a good living for yourself and while you are at it retiring early would be the last thing on your list. That is why you should do work that you love, take time out to relax, eat healthy, invest no matter how little even while you are actively working.

You are absolutely right, if we actually work to provide everything for ourselves, retiring early will be the last thing on my mind just as you have said

But doing what we love and like won't be affecting our wellbeing as long as we are doing it with our heart and mind, we might even work without getting tired of it because we will be enjoying doing the work and the way our economic is right now in my country, we will have to work things for ourselves and to our own comfortable too.

Retiring at young age is actually a good thing because if things work out well you will enjoy the fruit of your labour, I really get what you are saying but they are just few of them and again it depends of on the career work, most of the people I noticed that with are educationalist, people making research don't retire at early age most of them died in that path. Most of this educationalist doesn't have money and they don't care because they love what they do, some even turn down offers that will make them rich but due to the passion they have for knowledge they don't take it.

As am concern, if I make huge amount of money at my early age I plan to retire early because live is very short, I want to enjoy myself first before many will start fighting for what they don't work for.
16  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: June 08, 2024, 09:46:57 AM
As far as I know, people who play gambling must be happy or excited in their hearts. It is impossible for people who are not enthusiastic to take the time to gamble because it can interfere with their game. Most people who are not enthusiastic or anxious usually spend their time drinking.  or rest, It's impossible for someone to do that.

I don't see any excitement with then because gambler due gamble to win, let take for instance watching a football match of your favorite team, during the game your mind will not be at easy until the game finished and they won, talk less of something that have to do with money, I don't think it possible because even those that due drink are doing that to calm themselves because of the frustration of mind. I only assume their happy when the outcome of the game favours them. Am not a gambler but am involved in trading and it looks alike that why I judge it in that manners.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Religious leader barred from casinos because of big wins. on: June 08, 2024, 09:32:46 AM

Do you think a religious leader should be involved in gambling? Do also accept his reason for engaging in gambling?  Are these casinos right to ban him from gambling?

As a good and God fearing religious leader shouldn't be involved in gambling because he/she knows that God forbid it, God just don't forbid all this just to favour him but to protect us from it danger, gambling is harmful to us, it can destroy our life and God love us that why he forbid all this things that will make our life useless.

God is the provider of everything we need and he promised to provide for anyone who seek from him, I think he just hide under the umbrella of religious leader to be a gambler, if someone forbid you from something he will never bring out positive things from there, so God will not reveal anything good for you that will go against is command.

I don't think casino have right to ban him because right from start they didn't set any rules like that, they are here to do business, if they can stop addicted gambler for gambling everyday because it is destroying his life then I will say they can ban him.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Starting a business without capital. on: June 07, 2024, 08:22:26 PM

Affiliate marketing is a business you can venture into without capital and still make good money from it, even more than some businesses started with capital.


It is true that affiliate marketing is a business without capital, however, if someone already has all the facilities to run the business, then all the businesses that are run cannot be separated from initial capital, indeed the meaning of capital is very broad, not only material, but can also be non-material, for example concepts, ideas, values, or emotions. It needs to be understood that no business can be run without capital and sacrifice.

I don't know why people saying affiliate marketing can be run without capital, yes I agreed but no that before being certified to carry out affiliate marketing on your own you need to build those social media accounts for you to start gradually, but also know that in the process of building the accounts you will required smooth Internet connection which doesn't work unless you purchase data, is money you will used to purchase data.

Am only sure of a business that you can do to make money without investing nothing, the business is  begging, it doesn't required any experience to start it.

Everyone is disappointed and would be affected by the sudden change if the Nigerian anthem, and our old anthem seems to portray a better Nigeria than this, to me it's not even worth it, anyway I think for the military is a necessity to know the anthem although it may take a few weeks to get used to it and make it normal, and teachers also might not habe much Problem with it except there are old. But normal civilians that don't have much need of it might find it hard to adjust.

E go take long time before many people go sabi this National anthem, people wey go sabi am fast na primary and secondary school children wey be say dey still dey school and dey go dey singer am every day, almost all the tertiary institutions students will find it difficult because say dey only hear am once in four or five years, that is during their matriculation and convocation, that why e go dey difficult to sing. I can even swear that those so called law maker only few can sing it and they went ahead approving it.

Leadership no dey easy but this administration never dey well, one year in office and we never see any positive changes compared to past administration but still I will continue to pray for them to do better,

Why are you saying that? Like, if he, the heir, was a gambler it would be easier for him to inherit a debt?
Is responsible for everyone to take care of the family members either being alive or dead, and the important person to everyone of us are our parents, it is compulsory to us to take care of our parents mess either alive or dead, it touch me when he said gambling bad, no matter how bad your parents is, still they are your parents which means they most be respect either dead or alive.

Quote
I think it depends on the country whether the heir should pay off the debt or not, but in my personal opinion if he inherited a lot of money and valuable property then he should pay all debts, gambling debts included.

I always thought gambling addicts were a pain for their relatives during their life, but now I see it can continue after their death too. What a shame!

I 100% agreed with you, debts is debts being gamble or something else, in many occasions people don't care about debts and it very dangerous because it can't allow the dead person to rest according to my religion believe.
