1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Religious leader barred from casinos because of big wins. on: Today at 05:41:36 PM


But the acclaimed prophet claim that he receives winning games from God through vision. He further stated that with his numerous wins, he has been able to pay school fees and start businesses for members of his religious organization. While other religious leaders perceive his actions as sinful, he thinks his wins are an avenue to be a blessing to the needy.

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?


Here in our country, it's prohibited for any church leader to engage in gambling, our country is a Christian-dominated religion and our holy book mentions that you cannot serve to masters, you will love the one and hate the others, and excessive gambling ruin the lives of many so how can a religious leader prohibit something that he indulges on it.
His congregation will hate him and the higher hierarchy will take out his duties and responsibility as a Church leader as he is a bad example to the congregation.

This is a good initiative to build your portfolio but you should also put the categories where you are good, so people will know if you are the kind of writer that they want to write an article for their project.

You should also post a sample of your work for potential clients to see and appreciate your work, I hope you get more clients because you have a worthy goal on the tip that you're going to get, and it's also good to know that you state that you manually write the articles.

So many writers employ AI for their service and this is very rampant, its good that you are different.
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you lost the money that you where supposed to withdraw from online casino? on: Today at 03:14:35 PM
My little experience today, earlier today I was gambling with one of these online gamble site then I was very lucky that I won so much money that's up to $500 with an initial amount that's it not up to $15. However I didn't win the whole money on one stake, for instance I won $200, I only withdraw $150 and gamble with the remaining $50. So that was how I was doing untill I won a lot but didn't withdraw them at once, I withdraw up to 4 times from my online gamble account and the fifth withdrawal wasn't successful and they said I have to wait for 24 hours before I can continue to withdraw the money, so while waiting I gamble and lost the money I was supposed to withdraw, so have you experienced a thing like this from any online gamble site that make you to lose the money that you wanted to withdraw?

So many times this happened to me and still happening from time to time which is why I leave or replace casinos that delay their withdrawals because you will be tempted to use the money to try your luck and hope you increase your withdrawals and so many times the opposite happens and you lose the money.

And there were times that you won a good amount but you are not satisfy with the length of time you spend that you want to spend a little more time until that a little more keeps extending and you eventually lose the money that you are about to withdraw.
This is what happens when you have or little control of yourself, you will always be tempted to keep on playing.
4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Israil Madrimov vs Terrence Crawford on: Today at 02:40:26 PM


I share the same sentiment. Crawford is just too flashy and dominant, and I can only see him controlling the fight. If Terence becomes a champion in this division, he might aim to unify the titles again. Hopefully, if Spence also becomes a champion, they can have a rematch here. I'm sure promoters would be eager to stage another fight between them, as they already have a rivalry that can easily attract fans. We might even call it "unfinished business," even though Crawford clearly dominated Spence in their previous bout. But in a new division, we might see a different result.

Possible, that could be his next aim, and make another record if he can unify at 154 lbs as he had done it at 140 lbs and 147 lbs. So in this era, he could be one of the best fighter that we have seen, he has cemented his legacy with that big win against Spence.

But if he really want to put all arguments are rest, yeah, unifying again will be great for him. It could be very challenging though as there are a lot of good boxers in this division with his arch nemesis, Errol Spence, and then Tim Tzsyu and Fundora.

If Terrence is going to do that he should do that in a short period as time is not on his side anymore he is already 36 years old he cannot do what he has done in the past fighting only once a year he should stop fighting low level or tune fight and go straight fighting titlist so he can accomplish his goal to become one of the all-time great.

I'm sure he is looking for a Canelo fight, I hope Canelo also has Crawford in his mind, it's hard for these two greats to not face in the ring because they have a claim for the greatest boxer of this era.
Crawford never declined any challenge, we can't say the same with Canelo who is just cherry-picking his opponents before heading for retirement.
5  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: List Of The Longest Forum Signature Campaign Above 100wk That Left/Still Active on: Today at 12:19:04 PM


As for those campaigns that had left, I believe that it could be for three main reasons; First, it could be due to some financial constraints, second, it could be that their target plan on campaigning on the forum is reached, and third, it could be for their impatience at times.
Marketing is the life of any online company whatever platform this is, some campaigns will give good results, and some will take some time but branding is a long-term campaign, and people should have a recall of the company and it can only happen as a result of a long term campaign, the evidence is the casinos that have reached a level of popularity in the industry as a result of a long term campaign.

Quote
Some companies need the best results immediately, but it is not automatic. Consistency is the key and I believe it is what the casinos that have been dealing with the forum for long are enjoying over time. It is not all the week they will have some kind of satisfaction, and in some weeks they will be satisfied with the results beyond their expectations. How would those who rushed out know that?
One of the reasons why some casinos cannot keep up is the limitation of the budget and another reason is the result is not something that they expect.
But online casinos are a multi-billion industry and they need to keep the marketing rolling or they will lag in the competition and they will eventually fold up.

Everything looked good until I saw this


So OP is inviting people here on Bitcointalk to his platform to try to overthrow Bitcointalk, clearly, he has a misconception about what Bitcointalk is, in the past so many platforms came out with subscriptions so members can enjoy the many benefits of the platforms, all of them are gone now.
I don't think you can get people to leave Bitcointalk to join you on your journey, try spamming other forums.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deontay Wilder Vs Zhilei Zhang JUNE 1 Heavyweight on: June 06, 2024, 02:49:41 PM

Dubois is now the interim IBF champion and it was reported that AJ could be his next fight, or maybe wait for the Usyk vs Fury and then him fighting for the regular IBF champion. So let's see how it goes for him, and with his big win against Hrgovic, it really opens a lot of door for him.

It's still unclear and there's no final confirmation it's all a buzz we never know if it will become a Zhang - Dubois but any fighter against these two will attract attention, Dubois's performance is surprising an AJ fight is good for boxing too what happened to Saudi Arabia surprise a lot of boxing aficionados in the heavyweight division, the heavyweight has been so attractive than before because many names are coming up that the boxing fans will enjoy.
I don't expect Wilder to create a buzz about the coming fight and if he announces his retirement the boxing community will welcome it, even though the kind of exit or farewell is not something that he wants, the guy cannot do a Joshua act to revive his career.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tank Davis Vs Frank Martin WBA Lightweight Title June 22 HoustonTexas on: June 06, 2024, 01:26:43 PM
Less that two weeks from this fight and I see a twitter post when Errol Spence and Frank Martin are talking about Frank beating Gervonta Davis. And then Shakur Stevenson will have to wait because there is a rematch clause between Martin and Davis.
Usually a rematch happens when a champion loses his belt or the fight is too close that it could go either way, if Martin loses the match by stoppage I don't think there will be a rematch it's not appealing to the boxing fans if Gervonta loses by a stoppage he had the privilege to try to regain his title, all championships match usually has this rematch clause

Quote
Davis on the other hand saying that Martin doesn't like body shots, so for sure we will be looking for that kind of punch. Perhaps it will be the same strategy against Ryan, when he target his body and then go upstairs. Also lots of sparring sessions of Tank as well released in the social media that he buckled down the legs of his sparring partner.
Public sparring doesn't indicate anything they are not hard sparring because if people see that one favorite fighter dominated by his sparring partner it will not attract the betting platforms, hard sparing is kept in public they only show it after the fight not before the fight, as it can distract or influenced the betting and opinions of the boxing fans.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is a fun activity but it has some potential to be profitable sometimes on: June 06, 2024, 11:01:34 AM
Winning is when you cash it out and enjoy it.
You are not wrong. Winning is not when someone win a bet but when they cash out the money and spend it on something. I have several winning but I hardly cash out because most of the money I won I later lost it. They are small amount of money which I can not even think about at all. But it is good to know that gambling is for fun but I do not see it as a potential means of making profit at times. This is what some people will think and use high amount of money to gamble. When they lose is when they will know that this is not true most of the time.

I am one of those who won a big amount of money but prefer to continue and eventually lose it, I don't know but there's something in me that urges me to continue maybe because it is too early to call it a day and have not fully enjoy the games or I feel I still can do better with my bets.

Everytime I cash out my winnings and look back to see how will it play out if I continue most of the time I regret I quit this early, but gambling has so many uncertainties you really can't be sure how it play out, but you must have an open for acceptance on everything that has happened.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can someone take gambling as a source of income to he/she life? on: June 05, 2024, 03:41:28 PM


I said let me express my feelings towards this to forum gambling discussion, if their are people who are living in this kind of lifestyle. And what will be your opinion towards the people living in this kind of lifestyle everyday of their life's?

I've tried a few times but I really can't, it's frustrating and you will end up losing everything you must know your limitations, and the fact about what gambling is if you fail to do that you will become a complete failure.
There are thousands of jobs that you can do to make a living and gambling is never one of them.

The only people who make a profit from gambling are gambling operators and promoters but as a player, you have no chance to win in gambling, there are temptations to make a profit especially if you tasted how is it to make money from gambling, but it's not happy day every day and there are more losing days than winning days.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling push notifications. on: June 05, 2024, 02:09:11 PM
After being registered on a few sites  that offer online  gambling I have experienced on my mobile the increasing number of push notifications from other services of gambling  field.  My mobile is not tight to those sites where I'm gambling but bounded with Gmail.

I gamble via my laptop rather than mobile.

Does those push notifications mean that Google has linked somehow my  laptop and Gmail account?

What is the best way to protect myself from such "guardianship" (if any)?

When you register to gambling platform or any other platforms especially if the platform is a membership type of platform, they have an opt to subscribe when you are in the process of sign up and some sites do not have this and there is a mandatory subscription to their newsletter.

You can opt to unsubscribe if you want to or if the platform do not have that option you can request to unsubscribe All subscription based emails coming from membership platform have unsubscribe button at the of email if you find them annoying you can unsubscribe.

I unsubscribe on many emails subscription that I have no interest to use or not active anymore, don't hit spam if there are unsubscribe button to avoid the newsletter from being flagged as spam.

12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is a fatal mistake on: June 05, 2024, 11:43:36 AM
The guy is so hooked up on gambling that he prefers to abandon his family over gambling, the guy is living a miserable life now he doesn't have anyone after he left his family, and the only way he can be saved from going miserable is people who are with him right now understand his situation and try to help by going through a psychiatrist and get counsel.

But if the people who are with him right now are also gamblers then it's only a matter of time before the guy loses his mind and worse he will be confined in a mental institution, some people also go crazy or lose their mind from gambling.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is getting addicted to gambling right or wrong? on: June 04, 2024, 03:31:03 PM
So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling? how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?

We have been discussing the harmful effects of gambling so I'm sure the majority will agree that gambling addiction is not right and it should be avoided at all costs because it ruins lives and finances.

When you're addicted to gambling and you want a way out your only chance is to get professional help because they are the only people who can give you the right advice laid out the right plan, advice alone will not do it, you must stop the symptoms and no will power can do that, you should be monitored by a competent professional whose specialty is to cure gambling addiction.
It may be costly but the therapy is for long-term and guaranteed to stop addiction.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online gambling increases computer education. on: June 04, 2024, 02:39:39 PM
I am sure many of them wouldn't have learned anything about the computer if not for online gambling. What are your thoughts?

I wonder what the number of that many because even in a country where gambling is very popular there is no news that it contributed to computer usage even among the elders, people can learn it from home because there will be always a computer in every home because of at least one family using a computer or there are shops that use a computer.

Not because you observe, that you can use the word many without checking the facts, I also talked to elder gamblers and they know how to operate computers already before they become online players maybe for a few or some but I doubt if the numbers are too high.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet against the club you support? on: June 04, 2024, 01:07:50 PM
Well I never betted against the club i support I'll rather bet on other matches. However this brings us back to the question, would you bet against the club you support ?

It depends on the situation, if I need money and if based on my analysis the club I'm supporting is a huge underdog with no way to team I can bet against the team or club I'm supporting as a gambler we are looking for an opportunity to make money so why let this slip you, there are will be times that you can show your support to your favorite team.

When I was betting on horse racing I had a list of favorite horses that gave me a lot of winning combinations, but there were times that I bet against them when they were handicapped and they were up against strong horses It was just the way things on sports betting, you can remain loyal and still make money.

It's different if you are a very loyal supporter and you do not need money and just here out of loyalty to the club you're supporting.
16  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Pepe in a Memes World on: June 03, 2024, 03:58:00 PM
PEPE like Shiba Inu are exception in the meme coin because of their uniqueness they were able to pull and gain the support of the majority of investors which is why they are on top of the meme trends, after the success of PEPE the frog it spurned so many PEPE imitation.

I have to admit I was one of the victims of these PEPE trends a friend invited me to take part in the new PEPE and was misled it came from the same team, It is good that I only lost a few dollars.

The lesson I learned here is not all of what you read about imitated memes are correct and memes are still high-risk investment, they are like chocolate in a box, you never know what you're going to get.

17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deontay Wilder Vs Zhilei Zhang JUNE 1 Heavyweight on: June 03, 2024, 03:21:53 PM
I don't think that the psychologist can help him get over his mental problems and be back at his former self. As what we have seen, when he fought Fury he was really exposed as just one dimensional fighter who just rely on his power. Although in the first fight, he was able to score a knock down, but in the rematch it was different and that really take a lot, as hee had become someone else.

So we don't know what's his future, maybe he is now considering retirement. Now he is old, he can't just rely solely on his power, he needs to learn to be a boxer. But it's too late for him now.

He needs a psychologist to help him accept his defeat and retire happily because he cannot go back to boxing and still expect to win. The way I see it, he has a big problem within himself. Every time he loses, it seems like he doesn't acknowledge the winner and still thinks he is the better fighter. Wilder is delusional; he thinks he is still living in his boxing superstar days and hasn't suffered a defeat yet. We have a lot of heavyweight fighters ready to make names for themselves. Let's give them a chance, and old boxers like Wilder should retire already.

Yes that's true he seems to be a sore loser even in his match against Joseph Parker which Parker dominated he has an excuse:

Quote
Wilder said: “It was a boring fight, nothing really happened. I went right back to training the next day. He really didn't do nothing, they just went off the little flurries or whatever. In the training for that I had to travel two times, 20 hours of travelling. And those guys were already in Europe, they were only 2/3 hours away. I'm not complaining, I'm just saying what I had to go through.

Deontay Wilder in new excuse over shock loss to Joseph Parker

And I'm sure he has one coming in the next few days against Zhang, he has too much pride compared to some of the great boxers like Tyson, Lewis, and Evander Holyfield who can admit defeat.

The road to the title shot is unclear for Wilder so many young and skilled boxers are coming up in the heavyweight, and even if he fights Joshua next I don't think he stands a chance, Joshua has learned a lot after his first defeat against Ruiz that he armed himself with better skills something that Wilder is to late to learn

18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tell me the unexpected problems you've encountered in a casino? on: June 03, 2024, 02:30:06 PM
I have never encountered any issues with my account but some of my friends encountered getting their account restricted or banned even though they have done nothing wrong I have advised them to ask for clarification on the live support and ask for additional info.

I also advised them that if they are ignored or support was not given the right answer they should open an accusation or ask for third-party arbitration to resolve the issue.

Bitcointalk has a scam section I also advise them to open one if they are not satisfied with the answer, maybe in the future, I will encounter a similar issue so I am always ready to have all my documents ready and to prevent this issue I always abide by the casino's terms and rules.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you understand entertainment? on: June 03, 2024, 01:41:10 PM

 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?
Many gamblers start playing with entertainment in mind but as they continue their session or later on in their playing session there's always a shift of goal because part of gambling is the opportunity to make a profit so from motivation to have fun there's now a goal to make money this is where the shift from treating gambling to being an entertainment to trying to make a living out of it and that's where addiction will start.

Gambling addiction started as a hobby it is the opportunity to make a lot of money coming from the gambler experience or what they saw in other people that creates a shift of motivation, if it's only for entertainment the player will not allocate a lot of money and time when the motivation changes that's where they spend more time and money.
20  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you ignore/resist cheating to secure a winning bet? on: June 03, 2024, 11:40:02 AM


So if you are one of the specified fun gamblers, can you resist cheating opportunity and just rely your winning on your own ability?

Mind you: Cheating is cheating on whichever way as long you sources your winning outside your ability

You have to overcome or ignore cheating because if you get away from your first time you will not on the second or third time you eventually get caught and you will lose all the benefits of your account and worse the casino confiscate your balance including your winning.

Once you experience cheating and get away with it you will want more because of the opportunity to make money, you cannot underestimate the casino tracing tool to trace cheating if you think you are wiser, the casinos' tools are sophisticated and you will eventually catch.

It's better to play honestly and not challenge the casino to track you because they can and they will always catch cheaters.
