1581  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 17, 2023, 06:04:22 PM
Yeah get the hell out once you hit the lucky winning and get a break,  most gamblers who become heavy losses are those who have refused to work on their greed level to avoid such manipulation and thoughts of making more winning after their lucky hit,  if you gamble with $200 and you are lucky to have wagered the entire amount and won at once,  I think the best thing to do at that point is to take a bow and enjoy your first luck.

Continuing after that may amount into losses,  but we may also have some gamblers who may be smart enough to make a multiple wins and for such it becomes clear that what the outcome of a bet is,  is as a result of the ability of the gambler to make the right games selection at all time.
1582  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: what is the largest sports bet you have ever placed, and what was the result on: November 17, 2023, 05:24:06 PM
I do not remember the highest amount of money I used to gamble, this is because I started with local gambling sites before I joined this forum and also because I used my local currency at the time. But if I remember correctly, I have gambled with over $500 before and I have lost more than that in a day before. I was an addict at the time.
Yeah really most of us started using fiat currency casinos and then we have lost in a multiple times but then my higher sports bet amount was wagered when got to this forum and I used bitcoin,  it was an accumulated 2-week payment for the signature that I used to place that bet,  I was thinking that the odds were sure and I made a bet pf 0.01 btc,  and I lost it at the end and this almost crippled me and the motivation on me gamble ever.

But as time went on I got over that and I moved on, much time after then I won and lost as many as I can remember but then the most important lesson learned and that is to gamble with only an amount I can afford to lose and be comfortable with so we keep moving regardless.

This is a sad situation for Betnomi and most especially now that it has taken the team a long term to build a good reputation for the domain name both here and outside the forum and this will really be a sad one for the team and sure it will take the team a lot of time and efforts to build a new name for the company and yeah I think it going to take a long time before those that have lost the money to ever get any form of refunds.

But the good thing is that the team is ready to move on despite all odds and for that it will be exciting to see them come back with a new name that will also gain a global gambling audience,  all that it takes is a long-term persistent hard work and nothing more,  and since the team have build betnomi before I am sure they will be able to build under a new brand.

1585  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Casinos with Online and Offline version, Are they the same? on: November 16, 2023, 11:44:20 PM
People tend to have this belief or mindset that a physical betting shop or offline betting version is more legit than its online betting shop in the sense that they are physically interacting or seeing the people who run the offline version and even their house and to some extent, friends of those that operate these offline betting shops, furthermore believe that these offline version has passed through any of this government registration like CAC registration and others here in Nigeria and so are licensed to operate.
Well, let me say that this which you said may only apply to Nigeria and maybe some other third world countries, In a more developed countries where more than two third of their citizens have gone digital, it will be difficult for offline betting shops to thrive more than their online versions, note I said offline betting shops, not full-fledged gambling casinos where it is possible for customers to play slot machines, a lot of casino games and so on aside sports betting.

Even in Nigeria,  the notion is changing,  and gamblers are beginning to divert their attention into online casino trust is not what is mostly considered by many any time soon and that has also been proven by how many are not leaving physical casinos to adopt online cryptocurrencies casino,  which they now see as the best replacement to the trouble associated with physical casinos.

For me,  I rather stake my bet from my mobile device than go into the bet store to make a game order which is what many do here in my locality that have exposed their privacy and open rooms for one or two attacks on them.
1586  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solona Airdrop Season on: November 16, 2023, 11:33:10 PM
I'm actually not very interested in Solona because there is no progress in increasing prices on the market, .
Really if solona price movement is what discourage you from the coin,  that means you may not have gain right knowledge about the solona project and the reason is because, this project have proven a lot of time that the network is highly volatile and steadily increasing After all, not all coins make such movement as soon have done in the time past,  and for that, I think the coin has acted opposite of what you pointed as a disadvantage for the coin.

Well if I have the chance to collect some of this coun through airdrop,  I won't mind that,  because at some point,  its only those who got in at the first stage that be lick to have gain from the previous drop of the token and similarly those who bought the coin also at that stage.
1587  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 16, 2023, 11:23:00 PM
Edited out
Definitely I'm very optimistic that Liverpool will finish bon a good note and most likely they will qualify for the champions league by the end of this season even in the Europa they are aswell doing well enough and topping their group and are definitely qualifying to the next stage of the Europa.

Liverpool has also been really outstanding and salaha has been really brilliant and outstanding he has scored over five goals so far in the premier league, there are speculations he might be leaving the team by next season and if he does it's definitely going to affect Liverpool negatively, just like it did after Sergio mane left the team aswell, few seasons back when manes and Salaha were both at the front line of Liverpool, they have both magical with their performances then.
Well I am happy that you also have hard the same line of thoughts towards Liverpool in this season and this is due to their recent performances that have shown a lot of sign that they will finish the season strong and well too,  and Liverpool's previous title holders have all that it takes to make up for the lost glory of the clubs,  since the club have performed below standard in the last one to two. Season back.

So for them to have established this recent fit in the league,  it makes much sense than ever and for that, the club will definitely be breaking new records,  salah departure from the club affected them much,  but thank goodness they're recovering and it points all to the good efforts for the new coach and players who are working as a team to bring the success to light.
1588  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What Coin is Best for short term speculation on: November 16, 2023, 10:55:10 PM

Lol.  Never ever become a long term holder of unknown altcoins like those in your list.  You just never know what the devs would do.  A lot of you were prolly not around yet when one dev team took all the ICO stash and changed the project's website showing just one word.  It was the word 'penis'.  It was hilarious thinking back about it now.

But short term, sure...  Get into it. 

And another thing I noticed that moves up or down higher on average are the tokens in Fantom...  That's def good for short term trades.
I hard of bitcoin etf token from one of my friends in my locally and when I checked on the site to see what was up with the dev teams and saw the road map for the broken,  but men it was a total disappointment for me since the token is like just a meme coins that lack every form of sentimental judgement which may be based on market influence and also the level of promotion for the project at first to have pushed it presence that much

The best and fastest way to grow your knowledge and confidence in this board and the entire forum at large is in your ability to take corrections and also welcome criticism because both are important to your growth and progress here in the forum,  so any time such threads comes up to warn newbies about the importance of making quality posts we shouldn't take it as an attack to demotivate the newbie,  but as a tool for your growth,  we have been in this journey for a while now,  and at such a lot of time we have come face to face with those kinds of challenges and it has thought us a few lessons which range from.

1: Building a thick skin to welcome and absorb any form of criticism, both negative and positive criticisms.

2: to have the ability to make corrections,  work on them,  and finally improve by those corrections and suggestions.
1590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 16, 2023, 10:35:06 PM
In sport, I prefer football the most. If you are a gambler and checking the livescores sites, you will see that there are many leagues and all of them do not begin and can not finish their seasons at once. Just like those like EPL, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Seria A, and some other ones may finish at once, but there are still many other leagues that you can continue to use for betting. Football is played is all through the year. I have favorite leagues to choose from all through the year.
You were faster than me in responding to this question and for sure what I wrote in my earlier comment reflect exactly your thoughts on this subject matter and right as leagues are ending another one begins and those sport tournament organizers always schedule each league for a different time,  and that has really helped the gambler to remain focused and on timely with how the follow various leagues.

So if you look closely, league breaks are only for the players and not the fans or gamblers because of the last two,  all they want is just to have an available game to divert to immediately when one finishes.
1591  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you bet on when your league is in break? on: November 16, 2023, 10:20:28 PM
Well end of the season is a resting time for most football lovers most especially this is because at that point, they will still have the chance to follow up with other activities that may keep them busy until the league resumes again and that is what most of the other sports lovers may be doing also before resumption.

Although is also very hard to see a gambler who only loves one line of games,  some of them are fans of multiple games and leagues,  and for they are always engaged and no dull moment for them as long as the season and breaks are concerned because while maybe football leagues are on break he continues with the NBA,  or Tennis etc,  that is how they go through the year making sure that they keep their engagement at all time.

Hello,

So yes.. I will be adding lightning to the site.. I already started. It will be added in version 2.3.
The next version will be ready by end of next week- it's nothing major. Mainly the new E-Mail system (automated messages), small game board changes and more backend stuff.

I'll get it rolled out asap.


Josh


OK, now, this will be a very interesting update, most especially, the lighting network feature, I have never used a lightening Network before, and I feel ashamed to even say here that I may not completely understand how it works, since I haven't really taken time to study it well  using the lighting network transaction is easy to

But I will be very happy to be the first to deposit bitcoin through the lightening network feature when it gets integrated into the coming update, honestly can not wait.

Happy that my most prefer crypto exchange (binance) already have the lightening network feature, I will tonight to further research on this, and also find how to set up a self custody lightening network wallet.
Yeah me too I would like to be among the first tester of that feature on this casino if the lightening network is likely implemented in the casino as said, @Fivestar4everMVP setting up a lightening network payment is easy but have a lot of processes but once set up you will likely enjoy it since it low fees and faster to get through.

I have used it once and I was excited when I tried and it works,  even though I had to go through a lot of guides while setting up the first time.

Is democracy a dress for dictatorship only?[/b]

Democracy is two wolves and a Lamb voting on what to have for dinner tonight.
Two school dropouts tell a professor with two-thirds majority whats right and he has do.
It is a fact, most Counties are a Republic and not a Demo-cracy place.


Whenever I remember this quote of Idi Amin, it makes me realise once again that Democracy will not work everywhere especially in the third world countries. Indeed there’s freedom of speech, but your freedom isn’t guaranteed after that. What a despicable democracy we are living in. No rule of law is always abide by to the fullest in democratic rule, it is either the leaders are violating it, or the children’s of the leaders are violating it and lastly the citizens that have transgressed and don’t obey the rule of law because of the hardship they face from their leaders. Even in the first world countries, not all abide by freedom of speech, some are violated but theirs is controlled to the minimal level and not on all cases. Freedom of speech is a human right but know when you utter some words that won’t guarantee freedom after speech.
We hard a lot of leaders who where so autocratic and have rule with iron hands with total seizure of the people right to speech and some time those who dear to express their right to expression and freedom of speech are call attacker and lebeled an anti-government and those leaders may get them put behind bars and becoming they political prisoner and this has made a lot of other people to become afraid of the government.

But in some countries where democracy is practised in its true faith and followed with all the rules of llawfullyfollowed it becomes easier for the citizens of those countries to have the freedom to speak but not the same with other countries around the world too.
1594  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is there still hope for the price of BTC to hit back $69k this year? on: November 16, 2023, 09:13:54 PM
I idid not predict all-time-high this year, although I predicted that the price would be within $30000 to $40000, but I thought that bitcoin will reach $37500 or close to $40000.

If you want all-time-high, continue to hold your bitcoin and do not sell. All-time-high would be 2024/2025.
At this point,  your speculation is already coming into reality and this point to a lot of the exciting motivations of Bitcoin market movers who have pushed the price to 37-38k in this period and also possibility of having more price increase in the coming days of the year but also just like you have rightly said,  we may not likely going to have a bitcoin all time high in this year 2023.

Bitcoin halving is around the corner and for that,  most of the bitcoin spectator have hard much expectation of the market all time record after the 2024 bitcoiBitcoin seizes reductions.
1595  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: November 16, 2023, 09:00:14 PM
I believe you know that to quit gambling is not an easy thing when you are addicted to it, but if you are not addicted to gambling, I guess is very easy to quit to face your business that is bringing you profits. Those that is gamble for income purpose, it make such gamblers not to make big money that will remove them from poverty because they take gambling as an investment you can invest today and have full confident of earn big money before the end of the week.

Since I started gamble as an entertainment with little money $5 or $4 daily, it has helped me to earn many profits from gambling and, am not addicted to it like the way some are addicted to it by using their monthly salary to gamble in a day and return back home with tears.
Just like I already mentioned in one of the thread that have a similar title to this one on how to exit gambling addictions and how it is better to avoid getting hit by addiction since getting out is not an easy task for the addicts but it is better to protect yourself from sliding into addictions at some point.

A lot of gamblers have become uncontrollably addicted and this has resulted in a lot of negative outcomes in their life and how they relate to their immediate environments,  such that some have run bankrupt even though it could been easily avoided such outcome.
1596  Economy / Gambling / Re: QuitGamble.com - Free Help for Problem Gamblers on: November 16, 2023, 08:51:26 PM
If a gambler is challenged with a particular and personal experience with using a gambling platform, he can get the required assistance needed from the community like this by first sharing his own side of view and then others may know how they can come in, if it's gambling issues with the particular platform, then the casino have to be the one responsible for the response to each of their users challenges as such could be better treated on their announcement discussion thread.
Well, how is the casino supposed to be responsible when comes to gambling addiction and it's users? I mean, I have encountered casinos like Stake, for example which explicitly has a page in their casino which is about problem gambling and how to gamble responsibly, they explain very clearly that no one is supposed to expect to get gains over their gambling sessions. They also have a self exclusion program for gamblers who are aware of their problem; what I am trying to say is that casinos (spite of benefitting from the volume of gambling in their platform) usually take the steps demanded by law for people to realize when they have got a problem and how to address it. But beyond that, I would not personally expect a casino to put on the table huge investments to drawn away their own gamblers from fueling their own business.
The thing is that most of the casinos have this features that seek to help problem gambling toward successful exit from such addiction and this seen what they put up on their site to help those in that category and that goes a long way to show how the casino know the risk that is associated with gambling so it better to avoid it in totality instead sliding into it and if that happens the addicts should be ready to go through the process of recovery and also place much more priority on getting out 100% and nothing less.

Well, you are right, it sure feels good to earn tokens for free for one's gambling activities on a casino, but honestly, with how stagnant BFG  have become in terms of price growth, I honestly do not see the fun in earning it anymore.

Lets assume that the term still gave the token the attention it deserved, by now while most of the coins and tokens are up, BFG should be up too, instead, it's down, with a trading volume of around $79 thousand dollars in the last 24 hours.

Not really encouraging, but all the same, I personally have not given up, I trust the team will do something about the value of BFG before the next bull run.
Well some of the gambling tokens have shown some chances at the early stage of the market listening and those who buy in or have gotten the token through airdrop or bounty will have the chance to make some profits from the token and some of the token investors will like to take their profits and that have affected a lot of those tokens market growth and continues growth of the market value some point.

So along the market line, their price dropped and was not able to recover, but if this new token from Betfury can take care of that possibility then it will be a good one and also their should not make the token to be huge supply of tokens and they aim to build the token to be a utility token on their casinos, which should also give gamblers the chance to make extra bonus while using the token on their casino.
1598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning big amount after watching streamer on: November 16, 2023, 07:58:39 PM
Congratulations. Buy bonus work like magic many times. If I remember correctly, the buy bonus I used the first time while gambling gave me huge amount of money, not working for me like before and sometimes it may not be a huge amount won. But buy bonus is still one of the ways gamblers can win huge while gambling. I am not saying it can not lead to losses because buy bonus can lead to losses despite the chance to win huge amount of money is higher than not playing with buy bonus. But higher amount is also used for buying bonus which make the risk to be higher.
I guess sometimes all this winning depends on luck because I have a hard series of winning and losing and the timing where far from each so I can't tell if the is as a result of the bonus being a special one,  slot as a high volatile luck base game,  it bonuses could be hectic to use and if anyone can make the possible attempt to make such a remarkable winning.

Also, I agree with you on the fact that there is no sure direction as to what can be the outcome from buy bonus either lose or win but the the ultimate thing right now that is important to this discussion is the the fact of his big winning because I have not had such luck before most especially in the slot.
1599  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 16, 2023, 07:17:27 PM
-snip

Concluding that Liverpool are the favorites to win the cup is too early in my opinion because there are also good teams in the league and again you should be aware that teams that gets knocked out of the champions league will join them in the next round making it more challenging for them to be the favorites. I am not condemning their performance, they are good and they have improved well in recent games and they are one of the favorites to win the Europa title.
yep, I fully support your opinion and not only that, Liverpool has to fight against other strong teams currently in the european league such as Leverkusen and this team will be a very competitive opponent and also maybe as you said a team from UCL will be present there. This third competition failed to qualify.
so we are too quick to speculate who will lift the european League trophy, while Liverpool strong performance is not the only one. other teams have performances equal to Liverpool and let's see first which UCL team does not qualify and continue competing in the European League. and we can speculate after the next round runs.
So far so good,  Liverpool has had a favourable season this season since the beginning of the season I have viewed Liverpool's performance to be likened to their performance in the 2021 season when the club was almost topping the third position before they lost some key players some due to injuries and others by transfers to other clubs,  but all the same, Liverpool have shown a lot of positive signs in this season and there is no doubt that some similar clubs may stand as opposition to them but in the end, I believe Liverpool will end the current season on a good note.
1600  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Difference between crypto gamblers - regular gamblers on: November 16, 2023, 04:59:27 PM
Throughout my years using cryptocurrency I've noticed that there are some differences between people that use crypto and those that might not. People using crypto are usually more aware of little details

I have noticed opposite difference. People who gamble with crypto are more careless than people who gamble with fiat. And I think I have an explanation for that. Crypto gamblers are under influence "easy come easy go". All people who gamble, convert unintentionally their bets with their national currency and salary. So their 1 dollar bet always be equal to 1 dollar. People who bet crypto care less on an outcome because, lets say the difference in currency prices in the past and todays price let them feel more free. For example a guy who has bought 1 BTC when the price was 5k, will easily place a 0.1 BTC bet when Bitcoin price is 69k, because he will still have 62k worth asset. But the guy who will make a 6900 bucks worth bet will think twice before doing it.
Yes I tend to be more careless and spend a lot while gambling with cryptocurrencies than with fiat which because with Bitcoin most especially it stake amount may seem small since the value may not be based on the fiat but in Satoshi which may make it easier to spend higher.

But if it is local currency and the values of my stake are displayed in a local currency I can easily monitor my excesses to see and how far I may be going in with my staking.

So for sure crypto gamblers are big rollers and high gainers and same time high losers also but then the experience is different from traditional gambling.
