1  Other / Off-topic / Re: The real winning of gambling is withdrawals on: June 15, 2024, 04:41:56 PM
When you have won a large amount of money in gambling, it is better to withdraw it than to keep it in the account, you will feel like continuing to play if the balance is still there, at least withdraw 70% or more and the rest you can play that way you will not care if the 30% money will lose because you have secured the rest.

Gamblers who have won withdraw the entire balance and take a break - well done.
Gamblers with a win and withdrawing their profits leaving only the initial balance - pretty good.
Gamblers with their winnings still want to keep playing because of greed - eventually lose everything and become regretful.
For me 70% is too much to remain in the account because it is an invitation to treat instead If I win big money I will withdraw the money and possibly keep 15% back in the account to forecast more games whenever the need arises and that will be when I must have invested the huge amount that I withdrew. There is a spirit that controls bet when it comes to gambling because whenever you have a substantial amount in your wallet you will be tempted by an unknown spirit to go and gamble and try luck so that is the reason why it is not always advisable to keep a huge sum in your gambling account or wallet because you might end up spending all of them to gamble without knowing.

This is actually a Good question @op. Outside the forum ranking up in life is very essential and vital because it depicts progress and improvement. Virtually everyone in this world wants to change his or her status and that can only be achieved by moving from one position to another which is ranking up.talking about the forum there are different ranks which can be achieved by earning merits and everyone in the starting from the newbies wants to grow higher to another rank by making a quality post or contribution. Just like you asked and I don’t know for others I want to rank up so as to show that I am making impact in the forum and also understanding the forum progressively.

Something bad happened in my area that made me to bring this topic for we to discuss and correct some people mind set, because people where saying that good people don't live long these days, that they want to turn to a bas people in the society so that they can live long to continue their evil habits in the society.

But I disagree with them, that good people still live long to eat the fruit of their labor which they can be part of the good people in the society to eat the good fruits that attached to good people in the society, and they will live long to see the development and good of the society.

I told them that bad people use to die young in the society too, because death didn't recognize good person or bad person on earth, but if the death is coming, it is better to meet you in a good character because people around you will going to talk about your good on earth and you will surely get rewards from heaven too. What is your options on this topic.
Obviously, that has been the problem of the society, people don't like others who are kindhearted and those who have the interest of others at heart, there are virtually young promising guys that have died prematurely because they are good and the reasons i don't know. There are communities where good people don't last long because the bad ones in the community don't want them to last long. while there are set of others who are evil people and are fond of committing all sorts of atrocities and they even stay longer than their age. this has actually kept me thinking because i recently realized that when you are good and are very kind with people your chances of death will be very close but when you are a bad people will be even scared to kill you .

Money's fine, I guess, but real friends who have your back are way more important.  Close friends stick with you through good times and bad. Not just when you're pickin' up the tab at the bar!  So be wise how you spend, not throwing money around just cause you got it now.  Buy things you really like but save some for later, and you'll find yourself with true genuine people who care about the real you.  And not with fake friends, who only care about your money.

That is very true My dear Mate, most times we Dont take Care of our money And also we Dont realize what It means To save because of the nature of people that surrounds us just like you have called them here fake friends. In life there are virtually people who are very close to you because of financial benefits and they will keep on forming friends till the money finished while there are a set of people who are also closed to you whether there is no money or there is money. But the hallmark of this is that we should learn to save money when we have the opportunity of having enough money in our possession instead of throwing it around with friends just to impress them. And It is better you Dont have money At all than To have money And finished It entitely because you must virtually regret It So savings is the only sure measure To ensure a better tomorrow .
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Internet connectivity - Gambling wins/losses on: June 09, 2024, 03:47:39 AM
In my opinion there must be strong evidence that internet connection is one of the reasons why gamblers can lose at gambling (Casino), but so far I have never experienced what you experienced, the losses I experienced were more unlucky if that happened because internet connection is not what I am aware of.
Internet connectivity can be a hindrance to your winning but it is quite rare because most of the casino house or betting shops are always equipped with internet connections because there business is specifically internet related and there is no way that they can play with their business just because of internet.people can use so many things as an excuse to console their losses and internet connections can be one of their biggest means to back up their losses in gambling. I have never also experienced internet connection problems while gambling. Because I believed that loss is loss and whichever it comes from while gambling then it is also a loss.
6  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: As newbies we should know the significant risk in trading on: June 09, 2024, 03:33:47 AM

One approach I adopted as a newbie is to stay away from trading at all means because i already know that the risk in trading is equivalent to the risk in gambling, and most of those that ever make profits from trading also recorded alot of loses that could possibly outweigh the profits amount.

Honestly, trading involves a lot of risk, but the truth is that people are still making money from it. So, I don't think it's bad if newbies want to learn about trading. Everyone you see making it from trading also started as a newbie. However, newbies should not just jump into trading without learning much about it.

For instance, in the crypto industry, I don't expect any newbie to start trading immediately they get to cryptocurrency industry. If they do, they may not stay long in the cryptocurrency industry and might become discouraged because they could possibly lose all their funds. This is because trading is not for those who lack knowledge.
Well said My dear Friend, trading entails a lot of risk And should be Handled with Care, newbies are not advised To jump into trading without taking their time To understand deeply the strategies that are involved in trading And the possible measures To ameliorate the adverse effects of risk.however, as newbies we should sincerely understand the importance of risk in trading so we can know the best approach or strategies to tackle them. Risk is a chance of loss and in trading risk is inevitable because loss is certain to occur in trading so it is of utmost importance that we know the necessary risks that are associated with trading before we can engage in it.
7  Economy / Economics / Re: Is it still possible to retire early? on: June 08, 2024, 10:27:33 PM
It depends on the individual, whether they want to retire early or not. There are people who think that they want to retire at the age of 50, for example, but there are also those who want to continue working until they can't work anymore. Because the principle is like this, if you have sufficient savings and active passive income, then retiring early is a good idea - maybe you are tired and want to enjoy life immediately. But when you only have little savings, no income, and still have responsibilities, the idea of ​​retiring early is crazy, especially when you live in a third country, I don't think that you can retire early quickly, unless if you are rich, this is possible, but if you are an ordinary employee, you should rethink the idea of ​​retiring early.
It sincerely depends on the individual and when they wish to retire because retirement outside the government approved time to retire is a choice because some people forge their age and also lobby in most parastatals just to continue working till 65 or more.retiring early for some people is very bad because most people see their work as a means of exercise waking up early and going out of the house to meet different people. While some people also choose to retire early to have enough time for their family and their private business and also to enjoy their retirement benefits before death. Note that most people find it very difficult to secure jobs after school and probably must have not saved a lot to carry them to old age, however this sets of individuals will find it very difficult and hard to retire because they rely on their salary  to sustain their families and many other contingency expenses.
8  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is getting addicted to gambling right or wrong? on: June 08, 2024, 03:30:54 AM
Addiction is bad and that means you are doing things too much and that could affect your life. In gambling, too much exposure can lead you to addiction and that could ruin your life so technically its wrong but there are certain point where we experience a downturn in our lives and make mistakes, the real big challenge is how you will push yourself to bounce back and make things right.
Addiction is very wrong my brother because it brings about so many things such as depression, emotional imbalance, mental stress and among other things. When someone is addicted there is this chances of the person to be useless in life because there is the probability that the person will not have any savings or even owe debts just to gamble . I have seen so many addicts who sale of their properties to gamble or can use their property to stake for a bet such persons a pure addicts and there is virtually nothing to do about it however, getting addicted in gambling is very wrong because it will ruin your life .
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Religious leader barred from casinos because of big wins. on: June 08, 2024, 03:04:03 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?
My understanding of this is that, the casino is a small one and are afraid to run out of bankroll. Secondly, God told him nothing. He's probably hallucinating. God is indifferent to gambling. That's why He gave us freewill. As a religious leader, he isn't leading by example. His congratulations shouldn't even know about his gambling activity. They'll follow his lead and soon he'll sit with a couple to resolve the constant fights as a result of one spouse struggle with gambling addiction. He probably needs to also be placed on suspension by his superiors to give him time to think about his actions and the consequences on his congregation.
It’s not impossible my dear Because God is a miraculous God and can bless people in different ways and in different positions and probably that is how his own gift came and if he is been banned from casinos that really means that he has extraordinary gifts when it comes to gambling. I know of a guy who will watch a match in the dream and when he wakes up he will tell you the scores and the people that score the goals though not frequently and after the match everything will be as he predicted it. so people have different gift from God so the scenario that the op cited can happen to anyone if God chose to bless you like that .
10  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: With is the minimum post require to earn a merit on: June 08, 2024, 02:50:15 AM
The minimum post to earn merit is one post. You can make one post and earn several merits if the post is very useful and helpful. You can make hundreds of posts and no one will send merit to the posts because they are useless or of low quality.

Read what good posters are posting and start being like them. Post something useful and help.
Exactly my dear mate the minimum post and also the maximum post required to earn merit is just one post but it all lies in the quality of the post. It is not all about making numerous post  or contributing in a discussion instead it’s about making a reliable and well constructive post and merits will come.There are various patterns to post and it’s always advisable that you post on your areas of interest and focus more in writing something useful and something that will benefit every member of the forum and merits will come. The shocking part it is that sometimes you write just four lines but the contents of the lines are beneficial to the group and before you will wake up merit will come.

Lastly, it’s not all about the number of post but the content of the post and the quality of the content and how beneficial it is to the entire group.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Hunger in a country known for agriculture. on: June 08, 2024, 02:37:33 AM
An agricultural country is one in which the agricultural aids of fertile soil, water, and suitable climate are available, but financing is still essential for agriculture, and if there is corruption, mismanagement, security instability, and greed on the part of merchants, trade will turn into a source of conflict more than a means to keep hunger away from the population.
Yes an agricultural country is a country that is quite productive in agriculture and blessed with fertile soil and whose major source of internal revenue is agriculture. But Nigeria is known as an oil exporting country and depends solely on crude oil for her internally generated revenue.Agricultural products can help in growing the country’s GDP if taking serious especially the commercial system of agriculture. And there is hunger in Nigeria even when they are known as an agricultural producing state because the country did not pay attention to farmers by supporting them with loans and other agricultural implements instead the few depends mainly on subsistence system of agriculture.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you understand entertainment? on: June 07, 2024, 04:58:18 PM
In the topic of gambling, I often see the word "entertainment". Nevertheless, each user means some meaning by this. Many people believe that entertainment is the main driving force of any gambling. And many even believe that entertainment is a much more physiological need than, for example, a desire to get rich. If you initially set yourself the goal only to have fun, and limit the amount that you are ready to take a chance, then you play for the sake of entertainment, and not because of the thirst for profit. You risk less. But if you ask you what entertainment is for you, then this question will be at a dead end. They do not know what entertainment is. Wikipedia writes that this is activity for pleasure.
 But I see in this a certain cognitive activity, only with poorly formulated goals. For example, you play in order to understand the laws of the game over time and learn to win more often.
 Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?
It's quite obvious from your explanation that entertainment can mean different thing to different people depending on the angle the person views it from. Some people might see entertainment as the only reason why they gamble and that is why it is often used here because once you are having fun you are automatically being entertained, however, from my own view i will see entertainment here as the joy that we derived in spending our time to gamble with friends. collectively people are seen in another mood when it comes to gambling because they are very obsessed with fun each time that they gamble, anything that makes you happy is quite entertaining, and that is why different people with different notion of entertainment because some are entertained with comedies, some are also entertained by watching home movies while whole lots of people are entertained by gambling.
13  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it possible to inherit a gambling debt? on: June 07, 2024, 03:05:39 PM
The high rate of gamblers who take loan for gambling purposes is quite alarming, and most of them are fathers to kids. Most of them don't end up taking care of their debt before passing. What happens to the funds, when the lender comes for his money? It's quite a tough one for a person who isn't a gambler to inherit a trouble from a gambling dad. Such things also increase the anger of the society on gamblers, because the addicts are, also, good at extending their problem gambling to other close relatives. Could it be talked through in the law court?

If it is a loan I think there is an option for his close relatives or children to repay the loan. But of course the regulations in each country are different. In my country you must have collateral or a letter of guarantee before making a loan. And the guarantee is in your own name. So if you have died and you have a loan, the borrower can take your collateral to pay off the debt.

But the problem is loans without collateral. I think it will be difficult because of course you can't demand that the child pay the loan if you don't have any agreement at the beginning.
It is very obvious that it is a debt but cannot be fully termed as a loan because there is no collateral which will make it very difficult for someone to inherit it because it is not documented, and anyone can deny it. But it is very stupid of someone to borrow money to gamble because i did not see any explanation that the person might give me to lend him money, for me i cannot inherit any debt that has no source or that has no document to back it up.

Gambling is all about risk which you can lose or gain, but the annoying part of it is going to the extent of borrowing money just to gamble and there are virtually things to be considered before a debt can be inherited
1. There should be something in return before it can be called a loan. (collateral)
2. there should be proof or any form of evidence that such transaction took place and should be dated.
3. The reason for the loan must be specifically stated.
if these following points listed are not provided there is no way i can accept to pay a debt that i don't know about. and i can never accept to inherit gambling debt.
14  Economy / Economics / Re: Should there be a limit to investing in your children? on: June 07, 2024, 02:25:55 PM
There is a current trend in my country where parents are doing everything financially possible to give their children the best education. Some parents have gone to the extent of selling properties or taking loans to send their children to some of the best schools in and outside the country. I have spoken with some of them, and the reason they give is that this child will get good jobs and take care of them in the future.

I had to bring up this issue because most of them are becoming disappointed and depressed. In my location, children are seen as an investment because they have the responsibility to take care of their parents when they are retired, old, or unemployed. So parents will want to invest high in education because they think it will bring high returns. Many of these students who attended prestigious schools end up becoming unemployed and are still depending on their parents to survive. I also assume that many of them regret going the extra mile to give their children the best. They have lost money and are also in debt but their children are still dependants.

Do you think parents should have a limit on the amount they can invest in their children?
There should not be any limit of investing in your children, children are like future returns, and when you invest on them responsibly, they will act as your retirement benefits to you. i have seen families who have invested handsomely  for the benefits of their children, they will go the extent of getting some educational policies for unborn children from insurance companies for the benefits of their children in case they die tomorrow and so that their children will have somewhere to start from when they grow, some will also buy shares using the names of their children just for them to have a better tomorrow. because there is one adage that says ' A stitch in time saves nine' i don't know if am correct with the adage but the point i am trying to make here is that is that, it is better to make heir while the sun shines, because nothing last forever, so it is very nice that we invest in our children when we have the opportunity to do that. yes, it is very obvious that some children misuse the opportunity and the advantage but in the scale of 100% , 85% of the children will make the best out of it.
15  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest on your dependants if you too must grow further on: June 07, 2024, 02:10:46 PM
There is a popular quote that says until everyone around you is rich then your still poor. It's same thing here with your concept, we must always elevate the people around us to be free financially, if you're the only person free financially it turns out that you will not still be free in a short time because you will tend to lift all the bills from your household on yourself which I consider as same as suicide.

If you want to be successful then your people have to be successful, you have to take care of your family, friends etc that as so dear to you to the next level for you to go more high. In general we should always extend our hands to people who needs it as it will guarantee our success too.
Well quoted dear mate, no one is rich unless everybody around him or her is rich. there is always needed to invest in another person even if the person is not your dependent. human investment is the highest investment someone can venture into because it brings excessive returns, no one predicts the future and that is why we should consider investing in our fellow human beings because the hands-of clock can turn negatively tomorrow, and the person will stand as your backbone. if you must grow just like the op said we should consider helping our dependent especially when we are the breadwinners of the family, family problems are so numerous that we cannot get rid of them alone without the help of another person. And if you really want to be successful and succeed in life, we have to take care of our family needs first if not you cannot have rest of mind and that is why it is very advisable to share responsibilities among your siblings by investing in them to be financially stable so as to help you reduce your level of spending.

I don't know whether what I'm feeling other people are feeling it or am just having this feeling based on the country where I'm located, or am feeling this way because of age and responsibility. Before now everything was easy for the rich , poor, and middle class, you can even be happy without having any money with you. But this time it seems different,  you can still have money but still their is is no inner joy. Now even the people around are not real and genuine but fake, can even betray for free. Is it that as the world is evolving people are changing too.

Having peace of mind is not a determination of having money or not, what are the comforts we get from the things we do, are we not overworking our mental health, are we not taking height that are too much higher than us, what are the things we do that takes away peace of mind far away from us, we are the ones to be mostly responsible for what happens to us pending on what we do and where we go.
Well said my dear friend, we are really going through a lot just to be happy and have peace. people see peace of mind as having enough money and that is why the society has seriously changed, let's look at our young boys now in the society no one wants to struggle everyone wants to be a yahoo boy just to have money and also peace of mind, but yet they are going extra miles to make the money with so many rituals associated with their circumstances. money is not peace of mind, but we don't also have another options because we are suffering, and we need money for our daily lives. The society is no longer sweet like before where the rich have compassion for the poor and the poor will also reciprocate positively but now everyone is arrogant and trying every possible means to be better than each other. sincerely the society has changed alot. even the small ones don't have regards for the senior ones because everyone is suffering.
17  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Too much disasterous threats in relationship and partnerships. on: June 07, 2024, 12:16:37 PM
When people newly fall in love, they both have strong attraction with each other. That time they agreed with others opinion, even sacrifice many thing for sake of their relationship and they are partners welfare. When when you being cheated by your partner, when you see that your partner don't like you anymore and start dating with another person then naturally, search things will makes you disappointed as well as make you angry on your partner. How can you let him/her go freely when he/she hurt you? With this thoughts, people do crime.
That is very true my dear friend, there are times like that when both partners make an unending promise to themselves probably because they met each other newly and can do virtually anything possible to make themselves happy. there is no perfect relationship or marriage and this because no human being is perfect, time will come when mistakes will come in the relationship and also hatred and that will bring threats and dislike. some partners are the major causes of their problems because of infidelity or jealousy. i have never heard of a marriage that existed without quarrels and threats and it has become very common in the society. some partners might threat another just to make the person change his or her and might not take it serious at all.  i have also had an opportunity to attend a relationship conference where the guest speaker emphasized that no relationship lasts long without threats or quarrels and that is to say that threats is part of every relationship.

the answer is none, if someone told you that there is a quickway to earn money im sure its up to no good, maybe in the early days in the real world there is, but those days are gone, now, in crypto world, you will need time, and effort to earn money, nothing comes easy unless you are going to scam your friends or family kidding aside, but its reality my friend, anyone agree with me?
Yes you are absolutely right, that was then not in this world again because for you to be come a better person today you we need to work very hard before you we achieve your goal, just as you have said earlier even in this Bitcointalk forum as a beginner for you to start earning in this forum it depends on our effort because if make out time to learn very well in this forum you see that withing a short time period you start earning money in this forum.
Exactly my dear mate there is no quick ways to make money outside hard work and persistency, i have never read about any quick ways of making money in any article without the person working for it, so @op please don't be deceived incase if someone gives you this idea. Even in crypto currency the money might come so easily maybe because you hodl and you waited for it to appreciate handsomely and that does not mean that it is an easy way to make money.

For me the only easiest way to make money is to have a targeted goal and working towards your goal not minding how long it will take you to achieve your goal but when the reward finally comes it will look very easy for you and people around you as well. making or earning money entails patience and we should understand that concept and obey it.

- Making decisions out of emotion can cause great loss in trading. For one to gain profit in trade, he must make wise decisions without fear or greed.

Can you elaborate on this? Do you have any personal experience of this? I mean I want to know how emotions can impact trading? And how do you control your emotions when trading?
This is very true making decisions out of emotion in trading can result to a big loss. In trading you don’t allow your emotions to control you instead you try every possibly measure to control your emotions. There will come a time in trading when you will be left to make a rational decision but because of emotion and greed we will make the wrong decisions which is very bad because every wrong decisions in trading results to loss .while trading always learn to follow the rules of the candles sticks and any other best strategy that works for you better and do not allow your emotions to influence those strategies because emotions here is one of our greatest challenge when it comes to trading and also a core factor to be considered because it influences our chance of success or failure .

Telling a fib today is considered harmless and most people seem to lie so quickly and are very good at it too. We all know lying isn't good anyway it's being looked at but we all indulge in it and very frequently too. And today, it is considered harmless and a little white lie; almost innocent lol.
Can we as humans ever stop telling lies?
We Dont know what To believe again the Society has Really made people To change And so many people have cultivated the habits of lies as Part of their daily activities And people hadly tell truth again. We are in a society where the leaders lie concurrently and the subject emulate from them.  I was watching a skit some days ago and someone came for an interview and at the entrance of the gate he saw a huge amount of money he picked it up and put in his pocket not knowing that it was a set up and there was a camera to monitor and when he was finally interviewed they asked him about the money and he blatantly lied even when they played the cctv recordings for him he still denied it. The rate of lies in the society is quite alarming and it is increasing everyday .lastly I will advise all those who see lies as the best way to achieve success to desist from it because integrity pays alots and there is respect when people know you as sincere person .
