321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 21, 2024, 01:08:57 PM
That's true, especially in football bets, many people get too greedy, the higher the numbers of matches they can bet on the higher the odds, but they have forgotten that the higher the risks too, they simply just make winning to be extremely harder for them due to their own readiness.

The way gamblers bet is different, but it's common sense to see that more odds equals to more risks of losing money, there are options to take profit in gambling now while the matches is ongoing, this is good compare to before, but still its clear that higher risks in gambling means you hardly will win.

I don't want to be the one telling people to start betting on less numbers of matches at once, like someone in this thread already said, everyone are not the same, some will get lucky still even with higher numbers of odds but I can't compare myself to them, as reality is reality to me, I have many people that gambles this way for years are they never become a millionaire that they so much desire.

Why not per day? As a gambler you are meant to gamble and get your result in a hour or even in minutes, this is not an investment field, so what's there to be on wait for?

I don't believe that anyone has anything with gambling, if you believe you do, please kindly use the opportunity to change your life first before looking for someone else to help, if truly it works you won't let anyone know, you would have make yourself a lot of money already.

You stating that you really need someone that can give you quick money in return gives you away, it takes a month to earn 200% profit with whatever strategy you have and you can't even wait for that long? You want instant money for yourself? That makes you a scammer in disguise honestly.  
323  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: A practical way to stop procrastinating and start your investment journey. on: January 21, 2024, 11:21:06 AM
Procrastination doesn't always ends well with crypto investment, but lack of knowledge is the main reason why people plan to take action and never do, they have the mind of doubt asking themselves if its the right time to buy, they fear any possible upcoming dump bringing their money down in value right in front of their eye.

People do do this shit mostly are those who don't understand how the cycle works, if you have been in crypto space for years in the past and you still don't know how this crypto cycle works you will never make it in crypto, a smart person only needs to fail once in crypto space when it comes to when to buy and when to sell, after that you should be able to figure it out already.  

What lack of knowledge will do to you in crypto space.

1. You will always look down on DCA strategy, and this is the most effective way to invest on Bitcoin for the long term.

2. You will be running after hype and FOMO, that's why majority of new investors chase the green candle always.

3. Bear market and bull market will be like a puzzle that's impossible to solve, meanwhile, bear market is your accumulation phase and bull market is where you should be taking your profits aggressively.

If you understand what you are doing there won't be any fear in you compare to someone who is completely blind as they have no single clue on what they are doing, they will be full of confusion.
324  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: January 21, 2024, 10:04:54 AM
Ok, first of all... Bitcoin is money. Why would casinos accept it, if it was not money? How would they pay for their operating expenses, if Bitcoin was not money?  Roll Eyes

The Licensing authorities might not be as affective as most people would have wanted, but they do serve a purpose. Can you imagine what casinos would have gotten away with, if there were zero oversight over their activities?

Some of these casinos would not even have been able to open it's virtual doors for business, if it was not for these licensing authorities. (Example : Australia does not allow online gambling, but Eddie (Australian) operates Stake.com which is one of the most succesful online crypto casinos out there.)
I accept, Bitcoin is indeed money, I haven't seen where every thing that's not crypto is been accepted in a casino before, you can't use diamond or gold because they are precious stones kinda but bItcoin is digital and yes it fits to be money than anything except fiat itself.

Casinos having licenses do serve it's purpose and it has nothing to do with what currencies the casinos choose to accept or not, I believe this is not the part of the license they are trying to acquire, it does not concern the license office, casinos are the ones to say a yes or no to a currency.

Bitcoin is digital money and this have been the same in the past years, we made it this far and today the ETF is even approved, it means we can use crypto to pay for what we want if the sellers are willing to accept them as payment option, this is non of the authorities business.

I could have love to congratulate on this your achievement but then again I don’t buy the story as they don’t look real to me, there have been lot of stories like this in the forum which just happens to reduce of recent due to how the community keep on busting them and discovery the full intention of the Op.

If your dad is a public servant and have access to public funds you should focus on learning and investing on other things than this bar of a thing it will attract attention to you and your family especially one like this that you want to start accepting bitcoin, if you were to throughly have those money that he gives to you 2,000,000 naira can’t open a standard bar here in this country after doing all the fee payment from registration, rent, and arrangement of the shop. I just find it hard to buy your story.
How big is the bar that's capable of attracting attention? Not this type of bar bro, just look at it again, it's something anyone can do for themselves without getting help, it doesn't even look like something that cost a lot of money from a politician, mind you, these people have access to different women, they most times have children outside of their first marriage, so it is possible that OP do get help from his father.

If something similar haven't happen in your environment it will become harder to believe, I get that, if truly that all this bar cost is just 2,000,000 naira it shouldn't attract any attention, and not all politician children are none, I bet this is what's happening here, this amount is something a parent can do for a child, too small from a political figure honestly, it is not a big thing.

Those who are not even in politics are spending millions on their children to build hotels and other big companies, this is even under average coming from a political figure.
326  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 18, 2024, 11:34:35 AM
It sure looks edited but maybe for the security purpose of the winner? The only edited part is the face which isn't bad at all, I believe it's the best thing to do, both sides are winners here and they used the winner to shill their business too, it's good.

Some lottery winners don't care about exposure that's why they boldly decide to come out to the open, but I can't do the same because countries security varies, I bet that if I do the same many bad figures will come for me, I would rather just keep my mouth shut.

Either legit or not always make the best decision for your own sake, it's better to keep your winnings as secret instead of showing the world.
327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: GAMBLING DISORDER on: January 18, 2024, 10:01:16 AM
How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.
There is nothing spiritually about gambling and casinos, what you don't understand is the true meaning of luck, when something is all about getting lucky it becomes uncertainty, you don't want to be too into this like it's a reliable source of income, to get paid at work you need to render a good service and you will get your salary, but you can't say the same thing with gambling.

You will be messed up so badly if you believe that gambling will bring you all the dreams you desire, you are simply trying to cheat nature, if it's easy to make money everyone on the street will be millionaires, let this sink into your skull, accept that gambling is risky, you ain't going to get lucky almost all the time.

Do not solve income problem with gambling, it will never work that's why you are already in this shit hole called disorder, it's your own believe about gambling that's punishing you, sit down and rethink about gambling, there is no miracle to make money out there, you need to get a job and start saving up money, invest part of the money in good assets and only consider gambling with extra money, very small percentage from you income will do.
328  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 18, 2024, 09:17:41 AM
It could be a hope restorer, I have so many good stories like this that happened to people I know but not many people ends up doing what they have in mind before gambling after they win some money, they will think they can still win more and they will risk the money back and all will be lost.

It's better to have that small hope in gambling and put more hope in something else, because not everyone will be so lucky, there are gamblers that have never made a thousand in gambling before and they have been doing this for years already.

All I am saying is that gambler should have little hope in gambling, don't be a fool, as lucky as you can get is also as loses as you can get too, keep risking what you can afford to lose, sometimes the doors opens where we least expected, you may get lucky in gambling but don't count on it as your solution.
329  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if authorities launch a tax for owning bitcoin? on: January 18, 2024, 08:00:24 AM
BTC by its very nature precludes centralization, and thus governments. They can attempt to do whatever they want. BTC will fill the cracks of attempted centralization like water seeking its level.
I am not buying this, can you say the same thing about people who have been buying and selling Bitcoin all their lives using centralized exchange? The foot print is already there and nothing can clean it up, only those who have never passed KYC on any CEX and also stick with Peer to peer trading can escape this.

Bitcoin was created as a decentralized currency but the people gave power back to the authorities by using centralized entities to trade their Bitcoin, the fault is on the investors, they invest in Bitcoin but they failed to use it the right way.

You can only be taxed if you trade your Bitcoin on centralized exchanges, it's why the government want every details available on Binance exchange, to know those people buying big without paying taxes, many new mess will happen in the future, many people wont saw it coming.
330  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowing Bitcoin price history is important on: January 17, 2024, 03:39:50 PM
It's really important to know the past price action of Butcoin and it can also be a adrenaline rush for you start looking for money anyhow to invest in Bitcoin, even the bad ways can look normal to you, it's a motivation for me to look into Bitcoin past history but it might not be same for some people, we all think differently as human beings.

I always believe that Bitcoin will make a new high in future just like when it was very cheap, $200,000 is possible merely looking at the past history of Bitcoin, but this should just be motivation for everyone, don't go and look for money in any wrong ways, do not borrow or take loan either because you want to invest in Bitcoin, risks are still present so invest only what you can afford to lose.

To become a successful holder, you need a job secured and you must only risk your hard earned money, not the money that belong to someone else, and as possible as it seems for Bitcoin to reach a million dollar some day, make sure you only risk what you can only afford to lose, even tomorrow is not guaranteed, be wise.
331  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Higher and lower risks in gambling is the gamblers choice. on: January 17, 2024, 01:10:46 PM
More risks means more profits, this is what's running in the mind of many gamblers, but they have forgotten that even this world is created with good and evil inside, there is ying and yang theory about everything only if you have wisdom, there is no right that wrong is so far away from, we humans even have plans but its up to heaven to accept your wishes and grant them as you planned.

When you are about to do good always thing about the other side too, even doing good sometimes results to evil, now we are talking about gambling, which is all based on luck, how stupid are you to think that if you risk a lot of money on this uncertainty way of making money, that you will win? Human mind sometimes is completely blind.

If something is too good to be true, you must walk away from it, because there is always more to it that you don't know, if you can risk a lot and win a lot you shouldn't be stupid not to know that you can also lose a lot with this gambling.

True be told, gamblers are the ones killing themselves.
332  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: January 17, 2024, 12:41:05 PM
Through promoters that have a lot of followers, once the audience is good enough they will pay you to promote their casino, if why you are asking is to find a good online casino don't trouble yourself too much, there are many good casinos on this forum, like Roobet and Rollbit, but if you are just trying to know, casino companies uses every means available to get their names out to the world.

You should choose from lists on here, it's safer this way because many people already have different exposure to these casinos on here and reviews are so real unlike other websites where they have fake reviews.

Casinos like using YouTubers and other social media platforms to promote their companies, that's why you will see so many streamers making a lot of money for shilling casinos to their followers and supporters, it's a great way to make money as a streamer, and believe me, most of the results in gambling that streamers use to show isn't genuine enough.

You will only find this out after you use the same online casino to gamble, you won't get the same result like they do, but that's normal to me, maybe it's just their luck or something else is going on behind the back, who knows? You should be fine if you risk only what you can afford to lose.
333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 17, 2024, 11:25:30 AM
I have seen many people making gambling decisions because of a friend who just won a lot of money or someone they are not even familiar with, I don't do such thing, at least not with gambling, if anything I read online can bring me motivation it will be investment part, I still go back to the old tweet of the guy that used some bitcoin to pay for coffee and also other similar stories, it just help me hold my patience and be more motivated, but this is gambling, there are both not the same thing.

I don't care about what someone won in gambling and I don't even need to know, because I know that if I probably try the same thing I am stepping out of my safety zone for gambling and its not worth it, I will gladly accept anything that gambling give me whenever I try my luck with what I can genuine accept as losses.

Stop paying attention to what others are getting it will only fuel your desire to take more or higher risks in gambling, accept that you won't always win in gambling, there will be losses, even if your close friends are all wining and you are the only one that's losing, it doesn't make you a loser, remember that this is purely a gamble.
334  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Paying house rent with bitcoin is it appropriate? on: January 16, 2024, 05:15:16 PM
Why is it not appropriate? You shouldn't be asking us this question though, to find out you need to ask the landlord yourself, if they will accept Bitcoin is their decision to make, but honestly I believe it will be hard to come by such people.

Your building owner must know what Bitcoin is before they can start accepting, and honestly it might not be good for them, if you are not the only tenant why would they accept Bitcoin from you? Like I have said though, it's their decision, not yours.

if I build a home to rent out I don't think I will accept Bitcoin as means of payment for some reasons, one is the security aspect, people look crypto investors as extremely rich people, they can decide to do some bad things, also if some disagreement happen between the two of you, you will end up exposing yourself even more by trying to prove that he paid you with Bitcoin.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: January 16, 2024, 01:17:36 PM
No thank you, my advice is if you win any good amount of money, accept that you just get lucky, so use the money well, go find something good to invest the money on, gambling can give you opportunity but it won't be the same for long, if you waste the money away you might never get lucky again.

Respect your winning and do something reliable with your money, gambling money is somehow never yours until you really make something good out of it.

Gambling taxes is compulsory in some countries but it shouldn't be a must, to me it is like a way that the government are forcefully making money from their citizens.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout or wait till the end? on: January 16, 2024, 10:13:08 AM
It's obviously greed, if they lose it all they deserve it, like who the hell would fail to take profit when they are already in million dollar range? I wouldn't even waited that long, from the past experience I have with crypto and profit taking, I don't relent anymore when it's good enough for me.

That is even in the investment aspect not gambling, as foe gambling you are making money on air, it's something you don't work for, and if things go your way you don't have to hesitate, but of course people are too greedy, so I won't feel bad if something like this happen to anyone, they deserve it.

it's lack of respect for luck, if people understand that luck is picky they will respect whatever they get out of luck, and patiently wait for another good day.
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social aspects of online gambling on: January 16, 2024, 09:11:02 AM
Socialize in casino is a joke, gamblers walk into a casino with the hope of making money, even if they have to interact with strangers it will be for a minute, money is all on their mind, casino is not Facebook, if they need the socialization part there are many ways to do it, not in a casino, they can visit a coffee shop and talk to strangers, they can also use online video to make friends, there is time for everything.

Also don't you see that it will be distracting to gamble and to meet people? It only make sense if you are playing games that involves other gamblers, still, you don't want to let your guide down, because other player can take advantage of you easily.

I know it depends on who you are, some people do like the social aspect, that's why we will see sports fan going to watch matches with their friends or even strangers, I am not like this, I am more of an introvert, I will prefer to enjoy my games alone and that's why I don't even visit casinos apart from the risks side of located casinos.
338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials on: January 15, 2024, 01:08:56 PM
Drug is dangerous, everyone knows this before having a taste of it, this is the humans decisions, maybe I can become a drug addict too but I am not willing to try it out, unless maybe I was forced in the most brutal way? But I don't pray for such, you don't have to use drug before you accept that they are not safe, just stay away for drugs, so I don't blame anything else but the humans that consumes drugs.

There isn't much different with gambling either, I am pretty sure that the person OP is talking about is already into gambling, one addiction always lead to the other, but choosing drug at first will surely increase your desire for money, so that you can buy more drugs, so the easiest thing that will come to mind is no other than gambling, can't you see it rhymes? These are two great combos.

I strongly believe that this person already knows drug before gambling, he isn't new to both in anyway, he has no good source of income yet he has to fill up his desire for drugs, so yes gambling is the easy way out, I don't feel pity people like this, they are the ones that can rescue themselves, no one can.
339  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 15, 2024, 11:11:28 AM
I am wondering why they would stress themselves up, dressing up every morning just to pretend as if they are going to work only to land in a casino, why can't they stay indoor and do their thing online? When I started my online business years ago, many people start gossiping around that I am jobless, I don't mind them and today they are the one who are jobless, the situation of the country suddenly changed and they are making too less to none.

Online jobs are better than offline jobs, and in the near future everyone will have to submit to this, the best skills that make the most money are online based, anyway.

Many people don't know anything about gambling, they just see someone who won a lot of money and they decide to give their shot too, nothing bad here though but they proceeded in a very bad way, resulting into losing all their money, seeking for knowledge first is what many people don't respect and they pay the price the hardest ways.
340  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's The Weirdest Alibi Of Gamblers So They Can Continue Gambling? on: January 15, 2024, 10:14:30 AM
People make up some words to continue their journey in whatever they are doing, some times its just like a motivation for them and I really can't judge on that, but what I found so wrong is you as a gambler believing that the more you gamble the more likely you will win.

There is a saying from such gamblers that your win is closer the more you gamble, it makes me sick, because believing in such words will only get you wrecked, you are to limit your gambling session, to limit your spending on gambling, to also be able to make the right decisions, like when you win you will be able to quit for that day and wait for another day.

Some people treat casinos as a land of wish granting, where they will have to sleep like a visitor who must be treated nicely, casinos need to make money to be in business for long term too, you winning is not good for them, it's a shame that peoples mind are easy to mess with...  

The alibi of many gamblers is obviously words like this, keep gambling your luck is around the corner, you will end up learning the harder way.
