1  Economy / Gambling / Re: Nitro Betting Withdrawal Nightmare on: December 23, 2025, 11:25:22 PM

I wonder if the site is fully licensed and regulated because for a casino with license and regulations on board, ...

according to this review site, https://worldpokerdeals.com/betting/nitrobetting-review .. they don't have a gaming license.
But honestly, having a license doesn’t always matter that much. There are casinos with licenses that still end up scamming gamblers. Most likely, those licenses come from countries where regulations aren’t that strict. In those places, protecting gamblers isn’t really the priority, and regulators often side more with the casinos than with the players.

It’s good if you’re planning to accumulate, bad if you’re planning to spend.

For me, the challenge next year, and probably my New Year’s resolution too, is to accumulate 1 whole Bitcoin. I plan to slowly grind it out from whatever earning opportunities I get, without touching my main money. It’s a tough challenge, but I’ve done it before, so I’m hoping I can pull it off again.

I just need to be more disciplined. I’ll still allocate a small portion for gambling though, you can’t really remove that entertainment completely or life would just be boring.

The website is working fine for me now; it opened smoothly, and I didn't have any issues accessing toshi.bet.
You replied to a post that was made a week ago. Of course the issue was already resolved by then., hence the reply is no longer relevant.

Isn't this the same 'TOSHI' coin that I see on top exchanges? I actually buy it sometimes when I see good price action.
If you are referring about this https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/toshithecat/, then they are not related as it points us to a different website, - https://www.toshithecat.com/
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do new casino accounts really get better winning chances? on: December 21, 2025, 06:25:31 AM
Exactly, it's just a coincidence and nothing more. People want to believe they can cheat the casino. Funny, isn't it? There are quite a few who are still willing to give in to illusions that lead to nothing but disappointment. It's their choice. Someday, enlightenment on this matter will come. It will be a brutal epiphany. Still, it's an invaluable personal experience.
Or maybe it’s the other way around. Maybe casinos are letting new players win at the start so they get hooked, keep coming back, and eventually get addicted. Some people think that happens.

But honestly, I don’t really see that as realistic. If casinos could manipulate games like that, game providers wouldn’t allow it and their license would be at risk. So what most newbies experience is probably just beginner’s luck. Then they jump to conclusions, thinking they can win consistently, and in the end they just get disappointed.
5  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you believe that anyone can lock in with a trading influencer and make it on: December 20, 2025, 02:40:33 PM
I don’t believe in influencers who have that style of content. For all I know, those luxury cars they're flexing were just borrowed from their wealthy friends to make it look like they own them.

Even the piles of cash they show—maybe those aren't theirs either, but just borrowed from a friend to trick their followers into believing they are successful. What they are doing is just a bunch of nonsense.
That's their job, so they are good at it, even if it means deceiving us for their personal gains. That is why I don't really fall with whatever they advertise or promote online because at the end of the day, they are just after with our hard-earned money and still end up with no guaranteed profits but mostly losses.

However, they can easily lure those newbies because they don't have real experiences with trading but when they get used to it, they will realized that believing those influencers is the biggest mistake they have done.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Our analysis determines our fate. on: December 20, 2025, 12:01:42 PM


From this I have concluded that in the end AI is still AI where it cannot be used as a benchmark for making decisions and can only be an auxiliary reference rather than a direct decision.

Although my personal analysis is also not very good because from 10 matches only 11 points (which should be if the perfect point means 30 points) but my personal analysis is slightly better than the predictions made by several AIs where there are only 5 and 7.5 points if I calculate with the format that superbru does.
So from this even though in the end AI becomes an important element for now but we should not make this too much as a benchmark because in the end in gambling especially in betting of course our own decisions determine our fate.

This is to prove that there is no tool to defeat the casino. AI technology is helping a lot. However, for some reason, we can't say that it will dominate in all things. To those who think that AI makes them win, I will say that it was just a big coincidence. The same thing we do when speculating who will win. Sometimes we're right, and sometimes we're wrong.

In gambling, everything is unpredictable because even a favorite team doesn't always win. How much more just relying on data?

From time to time, new casinos are popping up. I couldn't think of what the competition looks like in the future when we are already flooded with casinos.

But anyway, welcome to the forum, OP. I can't question you yet about the KYC requirements, but honestly, this may discourage gamblers. Some say it is a trend already, but I think it is still a big concern since many casinos are scams.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best way to help an addicted gambler on: December 20, 2025, 09:22:55 AM
An elderly man was asked in front of me if his son, who is always gambling somehow got addicted to gambling, and they tried to talk him out of it, but all to no avail, what method he thinks he can use that will be very effective, and he said he will use his military influence to get his own son arrested and locked up for at least 2 years if he stays without any means of gambling his brain will adjust by itself.

Do you guys think such method will be effective or cause more harm to the person itself.
Not really the ideal thing to do. It is just like he tortured his son. It may stop addiction, but on the other hand, it fuels hatred and mental issues. Unless he can afford to see his son in such a situation. What he needs is more guidance and proper education. Stopping him for a few weeks will be enough to change his behavior rather than putting him in jail. 

Not all problems will be solved in the hardest way. Maybe there is another reason why his son became like that, and he missed it.

Have you tried to tell him that wallet isn't yours? And the amount you sent to him came from an exchange?
If you admit it is yours, then you leak your privacy to him. You can actually decline that it isn't yours, but it's from the exchange since he doesn't have proof that this is yours unless you admit it.

Next time, if you don't want to leak your wallet to your friends, always decline that it isn't yours but came from the exchange, or if you don't want others to know that you have a large amount, why not split your BTC to other wallets or addresses on the same wallet? It is way better than using some mixer unless the source of funds came from dirty works?
What's actually his purpose of doing such? I bet he does not really know the danger it brings once people around know how much you've been keeping in your wallet, because if he does, he'll just keep that information to himself.

However, its certainly a good idea not admitting that its your wallet, its left for him if he will believe on you or not, but the fact that you don't admit anything just means that you have nothing to worry about. People will definitely won't believe on him either, except if they also have discovered how much you have been hodling in your wallet but they chose not to spread that information.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning first and not stopping, luck or skill? on: December 20, 2025, 05:36:22 AM
When I first bet, I won $50 and was very happy, but later, when I kept betting in the hope of winning more, I lost. Then, a friend of mine bet double than me and won.

Most people say that they gamble for fun, but at some point, it turns out that even though they played for fun at first, they became addicted to gambling and later they are the ones trying to get out of this addiction. Is it the winning at first and then losing and trying to improve their skills after losing and then losing or winning again that keeps people from not getting out of gambling addiction, or is there something else that if you develop some skills, you will never lose again.
And all because you didn't have a game plan. If you had agreed with yourself from the outset that after the first three games, if you weren't lucky, you would stop playing. And if you managed to at least double your $10, then you should also take a break. If you play without a plan, the result will always be the same: zero on your balance. Discipline is your best friend when it comes to saving your finances.

This is to remind us that irresponsible gambling would never end well, but with regret. Many gamblers start with $50 (minimum), but once they hit the jackpot prize, they increase their bets. Common things happen to most of us, but some gamblers can change their style and go back to their usual betting size.
I believe we can do it if we stop believing that there is more. And this is not so difficult if we open our minds to accepting reality. Changing mindset and approaches helps a lot. We only need to be certain of our plan to change, not just words.
11  Economy / Economics / Re: Earning More doesn't Fix it,Financial Discipline Does on: December 19, 2025, 08:48:04 PM
Income without discipline is like pouring water into a basket? The question is where is all the money going? Certain amount of money can't fix some people's problem, even if their salary is increased it's not going to be enough, you think that everyone isn't serious that's why they are throwing money away? That's not true.

In today's world it's becoming less to see people who work hard and waste the money away because the money was never enough to begin with, I know someone who works alot and every money he made goes into bills alone, for someone like him to have something left for himself a double salary won't be enough..

The best way to say this if I were you is that money fix a lot of nonsense, for many people in the world today more money will help them a lot while there are those who just work hard for nothing because they don't even know why they are working so hard only to end up wasting the money later.
Good point. More money means you have been saved a lot of tough times because you have bigger amount of income. So money is certainly very useful for those who are working hard in order to achieve their goals and pay their bills without issues.

However, for those who are just working and gain privilege to be paid at a higher rate, they may not see its real value unless if they have experienced financial crisis in the past. Discipline plays a vital role, but one cannot understand why there should be discipline when he's not going through financial struggles.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The burning pains of addiction on: December 19, 2025, 12:09:58 PM
Perhaps it is pretty clear to us that addiction gives us nothing good but disaster and financial collapse.
Responsible gambling should be at the top of our minds, and we don't need to wait to fall into addiction before we take action, because it is hard to recover once we're there.

So before we gamble, we must set our realistic goal. Aiming to win is good, but chasing it should never be. Align our minds to think that gambling is for entertainment, not for making money. We don't blame casinos for our losses, or even blame ourselves. Just accept the fact that luck never comes as we want it to be.
13  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does prayer work in trading? on: December 19, 2025, 11:19:43 AM
I’ve even tried praying and asking for luck, but guess what? Nothing happened. I bet a huge amount and still lost. That made me realize something is wrong with this way of thinking. So those who claim they win after praying, it was just a big coincidence. It wasn't really the prayer they made that made them win but luck. It just happens that it comes after praying.  

If you believe praying could help you in gambling, that's yours. But we can't please everyone to believe it because it looks unrealistic. I have faith in god but I understand why I should separate gambling.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be mindful of who you advices as persistent ignorant also ends in regrets on: December 18, 2025, 11:01:02 PM
Your friend is no longer in his proper mindset, so he should seek medical attention immediately, or else, suicidal will be real this time.

This is the reason why such advices are sometimes not working, because in reality, those people you get to advise are also facing personal issues and problems that you don't have idea either. They need to fix theirselves first before welcoming other other people's advices and suggestions.

The case of your friend is serious mate, try to monitor him most often. Regrets always happen at the end.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people think of comitting suicide after the lost every they had to gamble on: December 18, 2025, 08:11:58 AM
Sometimes, what they see online will also influence their decision-making. Gambling platforms with huge amount of winnings are promoted all over the social media, so for any beginner gambler, he will definitely think that gambling is really a life-changing opportunity. But when he start to gamble and experience massive losses, that's he'll realized that what he did was a big mistake.

It will be okay if one is just losing his extra money, but losing from a very big decision like taking a loan or selling his property hoping that it could bring excellent profits, that is something that any weak person will not manage to survive, until suicidal comes into the picture and take his own life.
16  Economy / Economics / Re: Long Holiday Leave & 13th-Month Pay: Benefit for Workers or Burden on Businesses on: December 17, 2025, 11:31:06 PM
If you want to make your business legalized and continue to operate, you should stick with the rules.

A 13th-month pay is mandatory especially for established companies, but if you are still starting to build your business, a small amount of extra bonus will do, but you should adapt the 13th-month pay in the next possible years, that is if you want to keep your staffs and continue operating your business.

Now, long holiday leaves are not actually mandatory, it depends on the number of man power you have in your business. If you can afford to pay higher rate for those who are still working on holidays, much better, but if you are saving some funds, just give them long holidays without pay, that's no work no pay for any beginner in the business who are still trying to thrive in the market.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Masking to claim lottery winning... on: December 16, 2025, 11:49:31 PM
First time seeing this, lol…because some choose to face the crowd with real faces.

Anyway, it was the choice of the winner to show their real faces or have this like a clown. They have given such an option for their security reasons and to keep themselves hidden from the crowd. And I believe that is good because now the world is surrounded by people who have devilish plans. At least doing this saves him from them.

As long as it is allowed by the casino, that won't be a problem. Probably they had some conversation before it. Maybe I'd do the same if I ever had the chance to win…
This is a good start for lottery winners, at least they won't worry if people around even in the establishment itself will recognize him, because the face alone is unrecognizable.

Now whether he chose to let his family knows about it or not, that's already his choice and for sure he have been thinking it for long, rather than making his family aware about it and then eventually the whole world knows it too because his family has started spreading the good news.
18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Be honest… how many times did you say “I’m done with Bitcoin” and still come bac on: December 14, 2025, 11:57:59 PM
Maybe a lot of times really. That's when I have not clearly understand the real nature of bitcoin and the high potentials it has that may turn bitcoin investors into something big and profitable in the long run.

However, with all those risks and flaws I've encountered with bitcoin, until now I'm still here for bitcoin, even more greedy to turn into highly stable and financially independen through the help of bitcoin.
19  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial Literacy on: December 14, 2025, 10:46:17 PM
A 20 year old won a lottery but instead of getting the won 1 million USD prize, she decided to opt to get 1,000 USD every week for life.

This is wisdom application and we can't expect to have huge sum of money with us and keep them all together for long without diverting the money on others things, though as an old woman, i don't expect her to go into any form of investment because of age, but instead, I still go along with their decide being the best for her to live to spend her winnings over time, enjoying it.
This is true, even those who are completely adults still go wrong with their winning funds, how much more for this young lady who has not seen yet the real battles in life. So I also see her option as wisdom, not for others but for her own self to live comfortably and stress free from those financial issues. In fact, $1000 weekly is quite big already, if she knows how to manage her funds, she can still save a lot and think of any other investment that she can be good at her age. At least her future is quite bright already knowing her finances for the next couple of years are already secured.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Staying consistent requires another form of Discipline on: December 14, 2025, 08:38:39 PM
Life itself requires discipline. And where there is discipline, consistency happens. If you want to achieve big success and victories, consistency is the key. Consistent in developing your own potentials, and consistent in finding solutions to whatever problem encountered.

Now in a world of crypto, if you are not consistent in buying bitcoin either in dips or through DCA, you will not successfully increase your bitcoin portfolio, and you will not reach the point of reaping the fruit of your hard work and risk management in buying and hodling bitcoin.

Being consistent leads to life's big discipline. So the moment you chose to stop or not to be consistent at all, discipline is no longer there.
