1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting - How to determine if the line is a trap? on: June 05, 2024, 12:46:11 PM

By looking at the line, you can already tell if there's something wrong with it, and you'll choose to be on the right side even if your heart says otherwise.

Like what do you really mean by line, do you mean line up? If that's what you mean, I don't think that is enough to bet and win a match. Stats are important, head 2 head too and current fitness are what can give you possible winning if the house edge doesn't over power your analysis. As to odds and bookmarkers, it can be deceptive. Odds are not what determines winning though lower odds sometimes too matters. Overall, I don't see how you can determine you are in a trap until the game is over. Every bet is a potential winning bet until FT.
2  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you really want from gambling? on: June 05, 2024, 07:31:26 AM

And honestly, I am still confused, because I've thought of money being what I wanted, then "what is my actual target?, what amount will be enough?" is the next question I asked myself, and I realized I didn't actually have any amount in mind,
So, I thought I should throw this question to the gambling community here, maybe I could draw some ideas from your ideas and contributions.

For gambling, our target is unrealistic because it is difficult to achieve and that is why we don't really know as we don't know when to win. If we know when to win then we are going to increase the staking power for jackpot and then reach a target.


and this made me conclude that money wasnt really what I wanted, but it's not fun either, cus I cant have fun if I am not winning, like I would always say, " there is no fun in losing money".


Hahaha, not money not fun then what else  Grin. To lose is not fun but to win is fun like you already agree with me.


1. What exactly do you want from gambling? Say it, even if it's something you don't think is possible to achieve.


To increase the chance of doubling the money you are betting with not really to have enough of money to take care of yourself because that maybe unrealistic.

2. What steps have you take to see if you can achieve that which you want from gambling?


Reduced numbers of games to bet on, that is in football betting. To bet few games is better than multiple games because it increases winning chances.


Or

Are you like me? Gambling with no sense of goal, direction?

Let's have a healthy discussion.


The direction and reason for it is there and the goal is to profit but most gamblers can't just achieve that sense of gambling.  Grin
3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you ignore/resist cheating to secure a winning bet? on: June 04, 2024, 12:53:21 PM

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


The question is can you actually cheat a casino? Or what kind of cheating do you mean? Casinos have a way to track if a scammer is trying to break into their system and such customer will be punished afterall either by refusing to release their fund for violation and or by banning them from the account. So I don't see cheating a casino as what is easy to do or to cheat on your game that you are betting on. I don't see cheating in casino betting because if you try to break the security, you will be caught .

5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you understand entertainment? on: June 03, 2024, 01:49:34 PM

For example, you play in order to understand the laws of the game over time and learn to win more often.

Really? Do people actually gamble because they want to understand the gambling laws instead of reading through the TOS. No, I don't think gamblers will waste their time on such that looks like adventure for them instead of aiming for profit. In fact, we have seen even some gamblers getting stocked on their winning because they violated the rule of the game , an aftermath of not reading the TOS.

Or maybe entertainment for you is something else?

The word entertainment used in gambling is actually something else. Like for example, gamblers in my neighborhood never consider gambling as entertainment. They see it as a lucky deep where they can gamble for more money and if it fails so be it. For the entertainment aspect of it, I think the world is overrated and doesn't fulfill the purpose of majority of gamblers I know.

8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Kicking/banning and or limiting a player for winning too much on: June 02, 2024, 03:39:52 PM

he got agree and decided to open another account on the same casino (his first mistake), then withdrew all the money on the first account, and deposited exactly the same amount on his second newly created account (his second mistake),

I don't think he is sensible enough to do that and this still makes me think the story looks somehow. If he was limited on his account and bet with $10 and won, he could have managed with that until after that day to open a new account if he wanted. Opening a fresh account just after he was limited, the casino will have an instinct that he is the same person, and he deposited same amount he withdrew from the limited account. Probably, he might have bet same amount he was milking the casino with  Grin which gave them a confirmation and prove that he was same person.


Now, I just want to ask us, if you own a casino, and a particularly customer is always winning, winning and winning, would you kick/ban the customer, or limit him or her?
And why please?


No gambling house would like to be recording loses because they are not charitable organizations but business outfit with profit making as the intention and goal , so they would make sure to secure profit at least to run the business including maintenance of the websites, adverts or payment of workers. Casino need few winners and plenty losers and they take their profit from those losers after paying winners. Therefore, it will be difficult to allow a gambler huge winner all the time. They could maybe have the streaming contract with you.


Why do casinos limit or ban a user when he or she is winning too much, but do not do the same when the user is losing too much as well?

Possibly yes because I don't have to open a business that won't generate profit to pay bills. Most gamblers understand this, you win some you lose some and the house edge wins more that makes gambling a lucky play.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Fixed match or not? on: June 02, 2024, 01:35:14 PM
I was about calculating the numbers of goals per minute against the 90 minutes of a football match which should be around 2 minutes + for each goal to have been scored.

However, it crossed my mind to search for the highest goals scored by a team in a football match and I saw:

Quote
AS Adema 149–0 SO l'Emyrne

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AS_Adema_149%E2%80%930_SO_l%27Emyrne#:~:text=AS%20Adema%20149%E2%80%930%20SO%20l'Emyrne%20was%20an%20association,The%20Guinness%20Book%20of%20Records.

So I won't say the game in discuss is fixed or not and it has been confirmed that Palmonostora is much weaker.


Do you believe if the match Kerekegyhazi SE vs Palmonostora wasn't a fixed match? Huh




Moreover looking at the table, it seems that the league is the type that produces lots of goals. Like the weaker teams are such that any shot can go through the defense line and get to the goal post without a keeper there.

As always, I commend hhampuz for for being proactive in decisions like this to see that his participants and followers are not cheated in their agreement to support whatever signature they are promoting. He has a very good reputation and he is protecting it.


Please I want to appeal to people continue making this place to be active and also ensure that we do the necessary things we to do, but campaigns reducing everyday should not make us to be distracted.


That doesn't call for an appeal. I think the shortage of signature campaigns happen from time to time and after some time it gets back better except if this season is different but it is not what an appeal should be made on.


do you think that people will not leave forum as campaigns is reducing


I don't think such users are leaving but whatever happens, the forum is still here because Bitcoin/ crypto market and related issues get better analysis and attention from here and it keeps generating traffic for business owners and casinos.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Committing mistakes helps us to become a responsible gambler. on: June 01, 2024, 11:53:44 AM

Therefore, I would say that we don't have to be afraid of committing mistakes because this also helps us to see things that we need to change and become a responsible gambler.

Mistakes are inevitable and no one plans to make mistake but it is because of risk that mistake happen. So I think the better submission will be that we shouldn't be afraid to take risk but to take a reasonable risk that when it fails we can fall back to correct it as mistake. If you are trying to avoid risk taking then you won't be able to make a difference in your gambling experience. Some gamblers have now become so afraid to take risk because of what they have heard or encountered. They have had bad encounter because they took risk that wasn't reasonable and when it went against them, they regret without understanding their irresponsibility in gambling all that they have with hope of winning.

13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can easily find 3 odds games on casinos but hard to find on sport on: May 31, 2024, 12:31:47 PM
What I noticed is that I easily see 3 odds games on casinos but which is very hard to see as a single match which is not parley on bookies.

I agree with you on this that it is difficult to pick a single game with 3 odds or above that will be successful but then at times we get such. What we can do to this when we see such odd in bookies then we can do our own analysis then compare from predicting sites to know also if @ least 70% and above are also supporting that game then we can try betting on it but to what we can bear too.

Another thing to do is we can gamble on two games or three on less risky option like 1 5.



14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: People keep asking me to borrow money, some of them for betting on: May 30, 2024, 11:08:05 AM

Some people even go so far as to ask me to borrow money for what? to bet!! What a joke. I answer briefly and bluntly that I don't have the money to lend for these purposes!

Good because if you borrow a gambler money to play bet and the bet isn't successful then you are most likely not going to get your money back. A gambler will prefer to use the money he has to try another game rather than paying up debt that he has if there are no new winnings.


And the worst thing is that they ask me for small amounts, like $2, 5, 10$... I think that if the person doesn't have that money now, the chances of them getting that money to pay you are low. If the person is in need, it's easier for them to confess right away to see what I can do, because I'm not a bad person.

If someone is in need to take care of health issues then it is reasonable enough but if the aim is for gambling, don't expect that you will get your money back especially if the gambler lost the game.


Do you usually lend money to relatives, friends, etc.? Have you ever felt bad about it, done it unwillingly?

If you lend money to relatives, you may not get it back reason being that they think you are part of them and you won't take their indebtedness seriously and won't take it further if they didn't pay. So in the case of relatives, what you can do is to gift them some percentage of the money they are asking for instead of giving them the total loan that they are asking for and at the end you won't get it back.


And when they are female friends, do you lend them?

Most men are gullible in this. Men usually favour women because of their nature as weaker sex and for the possibility gratification that they may get from her at the long run.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greediness or Addiction -which one is more disastrous? on: May 30, 2024, 07:00:26 AM

However, both can possibly happen in our lives when we can't control our gambling habit anymore. I prefer not the two but in this situation, I prefer to be just addicted rather than be greedy

Gamble Responsibly...

Do you become a gambling addict without being greedy? No of course. An addict to gambling has a purpose which he is chasing and if you have so much desire in something then that can make you addicted to keep chasing for that which you are desiring and that is greed. When you can not let go in gambling chasing for loses then you are greedy. So a gambling addict is more more also being greedy. The two are inseparable as far as gambling is concerned. It is greed for recovery lost money in gambling that will keep you trying to win which is one effect of becoming an addict.
16  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: What is the situation of Cryptocurrency in Nigeria? on: May 29, 2024, 11:20:54 AM

The Nigerian government has expressed interest in regulating cryptocurrencies, but it's unclear what form that regulation will take.

Me I don't know what means dem go use but obviously dem no go fit bypass crypto exchanges. So wetin dem go do na to officially register them as company through CAC and then them go dey begin operate as company, dem go get offices or branches here and then pay tax. This means every customer data wey dem do as KYC go dey submitted to government and na so government go fit take dey monitor wetin dey happen there.


Despite the uncertainty, Nigerians continue to show interest in cryptocurrencies, with peer-to-peer trading and investment growing in popularity.

We are strong people and not discouraged even in hard times but to move ahead and see opportunities even inside that difficult times. Nigerian government to block access to online services and crypto investment and with P2P wey dem block, dem think say youths go hands off but nothing like that because traders are still finding ways to do their arbitrage and collect their difference.

However, the Nigerian government still never get am right as dem dey chase crypto matter as if Naira dey fall because of P2P but dem forget say Nigeria still base on importation and dem need to also buy dollar to be able to bring in foreign products. So make dem strengthen the economy and the infrastructures.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What would you do if you are loged out from your Sportsbet app after wining? on: May 29, 2024, 09:11:13 AM
This is the reason to play with a reasonable bet site. I don't know how reputable SportyBet is, otherwise he can take it up with their support channels and have a solid evidence from them on the reason that they are with holding his money. Moreover, it is easier to take an offline casino to court because you can see the owners and agents physical and can get to arrest them for fraudulent act on you. So this is more likely to be the solution if you are sure no manipulation from your side on your bet and your winning is genuine.
18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How did/do you handled a gambling addict story. on: May 28, 2024, 02:01:29 PM

Has anyone gambling addict shared his situation with you and how did you handled it? please come clean about it let's learn from each other.

For me it is not a direct story from the addict but I have been opportuned to hear from an addict who was raising losing concerns to some group of friends on how he has been losing since the past week while his friends have had some winnings at least few of them. He was advised to be realistic with his bet and stop going for too many games rather to bet lon games with lower odds. So at a point it became a discussion among the gamblers there on why people lose more than win. So I added to say betting on unrealistic bets because of winning big money is also part of the reason. I didn't condemn but advised to be reasonable with his bet and not to always look at potential profit but to go for games that could be easier to win.
19  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Have you seen where Bitcoin is used to make donations in fundraising? on: May 28, 2024, 10:00:36 AM

One of the major reasons as far as I'm concerned why people don't make donations in Bitcoin, is because they hodl it for investment, rather than using it for payments, also because many businesses don't accept it yet. Another reason is that I think most Bitcoin, holders don't want others to know that they hodl it

No doubt say people dey keep bitcoin for investment and it is difficult to just be sending it out like that. But some times wey people wey dey for wedding dey call MC come close and whisper to their eyes during spraying of money, wetin we think say them dey talk Huh  Grin just thinking aloud anyway. But on a serious note, it is possible if the celebrant and the friends dey run btc package. Is it not to quantify how much you want spray or dash the person, you fit just do am for btc fraction.


Do you agree that Bitcoin, donations in fundraising and gifting it to people can even in a small way impact it's adoption in Nigeria? What other ways can drive Bitcoin, adoption in the country?

But whether adoption or not people dey use bitcoin conveniently whether business accept it or not. If we dey wait for government to announce it adoption for bitcoin, then we go wait for eternity. Those wey dey show love still dey show on code but you no go know. However, maybe no be really to send love one btc because people see am as investment and nobody likes to be taking out of their investment for frivolities but if e happen say na serious matter, you go put hand for the investment take solve the problem.
20  Economy / Speculation / Re: After the dip in crypto, when are we expecting ath? on: May 27, 2024, 03:08:07 PM

I have been watching my coins dropping everyday in value thereby inducing fear in me as the value of what I invested has been on the continuous decline.
I do not know how soon they will begin to rise again.

Funny and you will still watch it increase to your surprise. I guess you are a new hodler which is why you are scared. Well, the expectation is still high for the price of bitcoin to increase. At least with the history of bitcoin, it has not done a bull run after the halving because the increase it did to get above $70k was before halving so it has to do a traditional bull run that follows the history of bitcoin halving. So you have to be patient and probably wait for a year more to be worried but for now take a chill pill and DCA for more in your wallet.
