Surely being financially stable increases our chances to good living. It helps us to maintain good healthy living that avoids unnecessary health challenges. Some people die from treatable sickness because they lack the finance to treatment and they initially rely on self medication until it is too late to be remedied even if they eventually go to the hospital by the help of others.

Seriously the need to have money can not be overemphasize because if you have not been in the situation that you need financial assistance then you wouldn't get the fact about what money can do to save our lives. It is not a ruse that the rich tries to get more because of the role that money play to better living but I won't subscribe to illegality because of money.
Yeah lack of money is a big challenge to healthy living and sure a lot of things and sicknesses that took some people's life in the past due to lack of money and timely medical treatment have become easily treatable or maintained records have it that,  as common as malaria is,  it has killed a lot of people even more than HIV,  reasons being that, malaria even as a common diseases and easily preventable and treated yet but its treatment is not still easily accessible by some who still can't afford it.

And this is not about malaria alone but every other form of common disease and medical situation that even common good food intake will prevent or cure them, but because of lack of money to afford those medics or food has led many to an early grave.

So in all that you do,  make sure you attain financial stability that can at least provide you with the basic needs.

For Bitcoin sure you can ride with that exit point of 1040,000 exit point in the next cycle of the bull run,  but then when specific that will happen is still unclear to many of us but sure that price is very realistic since it is close to the previous all-time high and bitcoin having the capital to reach that price in the next round of market run-up,  but as for the rest of the other coins mentioned, and if you want to invest in them you should also still make further research to get the necessary information that make up your decisions on those coin.

Or better still,  you just gamble with them,  since even with data,  and good speculations altcoins are still not reliable and predictable so just pick and gamble with the one you think your luck may shine most.
1603  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 16, 2023, 04:02:33 PM
2023/24 La Liga season has been quite an entertainment so far. Girona is leading the league race for this season up until now. but, will Girona end the year on top? After 13 matches, Girona is 2 points ahead at the top, with Real Madrid and Barcelona close behind. Barcelona, aiming to defend their title, unfortunately hasn't had the best performances this season. while, Atletico and Real Madrid, their closest challengers, have been pretty convincing so far. Girona is having their best season yet, but some tough games are coming up for this season dark horse. Can they go all the way against the big boys? Exciting times ahead in La Liga!

Considering Girona is presently dominating the rankings, I am extremely excited about the dynamics that are developing in the league right now. It's the constantly changing obstacles in the league that I find so fascinating, mostly because of the surprising skill displayed by some teams that do better than usual. Because it makes the weaker teams more motivated to perform, this element of uncertainty raises the total entertainment value.

What really astounds me is Girona's remarkable showing considering their lineup doesn't include any players with international recognition. It is pretty remarkable that they have been able to succeed and lead the league. The idea that having star players is the only requirement for success is challenged.

Although Girona may not have faced many strong opponents to yet, I am becoming increasingly confident in their skills based on the few games they have played. The team is attempting to give it their all, even against tough competition, based on their admirable efforts and successful results in these games. This not only increases their legitimacy but also gives their upcoming bouts a thrilling element of surprise.
Sometimes,  when you want to see the best form of football,  you shouldn't look in the direction of big clubs with high-profile players,  but look for small clubs that have young players who are still exploring ways to showcase their talent,  because the bigger boys in the scene won't have any reason to show their talents since their are already made,  but the upcoming one still has all the time to build a name for themselves and for that,  they will continue to display their best skills and working toward records breaking.

So that is why,  when I see the smaller clubs putting up great shows full of enterneamnts in the league,  I am not surprised by that and I know a lot of them will still play to live themselves to be equal with other bigger clubs in the league also,  so the big clubs must be prepared and ready for any possible take over from the small clubs if they fail to defend their records.

Best practice to escape scams or any other form of security threat is by not looking for what is not looking for you,  or profits that are way too good to be true,  this is where and only when you become free from any possible impending scams as you journey ahead in the cryptocurrency,  so if you can deal with your greed and how fast you want to make profits,  you will likely not fall into any scam for a long time,  because scam is one of the fastest way to lose you money and motivations in this industry as a newbie, It not market crash because each time there is a market crash,  you can still recover along the line if you continued holding the assets,  but when you are scammed,  you assets is gone and gone forever,  so as a newbie,  work on avoiding scam by all means.
1605  Economy / Gambling / Re: BetKing.io - BKB token REFUNDS - $70k refunded so far on: November 15, 2023, 07:20:29 PM
To be honest, I don't understand your real motives. What will happen once you refund all BKB token holders? Will you sell domain and software? Leave the forum? Relaunch betking.io? Or do you plan to relaunch it? There is a casino called betcoin that was full of negative trust but that changed because they changed their behaviour. Do you think that you can wash away negative trust with your attitude and successfully relaunch betking.io? I'm just curious because once upon a time this casino was very successful.

There will be no taker, the domain is messed up even if there's a new owner the bad feedback will haunt the new owner, it's a bad business decision to take up a domain that is associated with the scam, maybe it's their conscience they already made a lot of money from a business where they used the money they scammed so they are giving back the money but talking about relaunching the casinos is out of the question.

If they have a plan to relaunch they will have a hard time taking off, they should start from scratch because they are already knowledgeable about casino operations.
Some casino can change their ways to recover and build their reputation but there's always an exception to that and Betking is an exception.
Well, don't be so certain or sure, I have never played on betking before, and neither do I have any plans of playing there any time soon for obvious reasons, but I am kind of really surprised that this casinos have such a very bad reputation on this forum and maybe some other places online.

Over here in Nigeria, betking is a very popular, big and successful brand, they are trusted all over the country, and they have hundreds of thousand of betting agents scattered in different areas and streets, all over the states in Nigeria.

So, this really makes me wonder if there is a difference between the online version of this casino, and the offline version, are they not managed by the same owner? Why is the online version with such a bad reputation, meanwhile the offline version is trusted by millions of players.
Can't really figure out how to wrap my head around this.
If you have to dig deep into several other possible facts,  you will discover that most of the casinos that have been mentioned have one similarity or the others,  but then we can not totally erode the possibility of their connections, but then also sometime I also wonder what is the level of gambling business in the country and how much their have helped in the fight against fraudulent casinos in the country.

Because aside from the online gambling space that has helped in the fight to expose some of those casinos that have robbed their clients in one way or the other.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: For sports bettors, are you attracted with bet builder feature? on: November 15, 2023, 06:19:20 PM
The higher the accumulator the higher your chances of losing,  this is another multi-accumulator game which will increase the amount of winning and also have the highest possible risk of losing the bet, so for me,  if this feature is anything close to what I explain above and it have similar feature such as accumulator it becomes more risk for one to consider.

My recent losses through multiple game selections have taught me a lot of lessons that make me decide that, only use the Sigler game bet format for my sports bets.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Casinos with Online and Offline version, Are they the same? on: November 15, 2023, 05:35:13 PM
Just to mention a justification for the fact that 1xbet has similar to 1xbit operators,  because recently 1xbet has been called out by some Nigerians who won 80 million nairas and 1xbet blatantly refuses to pay them their winning, this is the same pattern being used by both casin which justify to that fact.

But on the bet king's situation,  I haven't really been following up with the casino here in the online community,  although the casino is quite popular here in the local region.
1608  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: November 15, 2023, 04:24:43 PM
Recently, I've had some issues with bankroll management. Although I've been gambling for years, sometimes I feel the urge to get more action because I'm not satisfied with my winnings. It's as if there's no tomorrow, and seizing the moment seems like the best option. However, whenever I become undisciplined, it usually doesn't end well. My realization is that no matter how good you are at choosing the right bets, without discipline in bankroll management, you'll still end up losing.

Could you please share some of your honest experiences here and how you became a disciplined gambler, particularly in managing your bankroll? What factors do you consider to be satisfied and to stick with the game plan all the time?
This was my situation in my last bet where lost 0.001BTC on an 2.5 odds,  the reason was that,  I chose x on the ticket but while the game was on,  one of the clubs made a goal score within the 60 minutes into the games and at that point available cash out was down from 0.0012BTC,  to 0.00035BTC which was at the point I made the cash-out,  this step for me was poor management of bankroll even though I selected the bets having in mind that it will be drawn.

So after my cash out the other team equalized the goal and the match ended in 1:1 which still resulted in x that I selected,  but due to poor bankroll management I withdrew the available bankroll without having a thought of what the possibility was even though the games were still at 60+ minutes.

But then,  lesson leant and we move to the next bet.

Such a unique and epic thread! I truly applaud op for how he is trying to help gambling addicts around the world along with the rest of his team since very, very few would think of doing all of this for free.

This seems like a legitimate operation when compared to certain imbeciles in this forum(Cabalism13 etc) who took advantage of warmhearted people for their own good.
The ops indeed is up for a good course really and that is something that we all have to applaud them for,  rendering a selfless service to help addicts in overcoming the hold of the addiction over is quite a necessity and a prime thing for us to do as a concern member of the gambling community that work and aim for the betterment of the entire community because if we have other individuals that have similar mindset of reality and danger of addictions and having the willingness to help,  will help the fight against addiction is the most effective ways.

But to this level,  we have to say that the ops have gone ahead of others to offer such unique can't for anyone in that category.

The funny thing about life is that sometimes you just need small information to be free and be financially stable because it is now about working smart you see people who just do little and end up bagging a lot of money but even in that case there are still sacrifices to be paid not is for free, but it is always best to read financial books.
For some reason you are right but what have been our major set back is in our risk assessment measure and how financially stable are we to face those risks,  this is one of the mean reason why most people still struggled with the finances and at the end still end up in further financial crisis,  so for bet result,  one will need to have a financially stable mindsets to be able to become financially free some time,  and it doesn't matter what your waiting periods are,  what matter is the knowledge that you can get and build upon to arrive at a point where you will be stable enough to make a fear free risks assessment and also taking the right steps to actualizing them.

Having money sometimes doesn't really mean you are financially free,  but when you have the knowledge and capacity on how to reproduce the money that is more important than having the money without knowledge.

Just intend to bump this thread, so ppl do not forget this scammers
This wasn't actually possible. Every thread has it's relevance period and once that period is gone, it is very unnecessary to bump the thread. If it were when 1xbit reps were here answering questions and claiming that they are compensating losses, this bumping would have been beneficial.

1xbit is gone from the forum and they gone for good, I think we should allow this thread die a natural death if possible. It should be bumped absolutely when necessary and not by any random user.
There have been other scammers that pulled the rug in the forum, but their threads are not bumped, because they are gone.
Well, that may not be entirely correct about some cases,  like in this case,  this thread has become a reference point for most of the members here in the forum and even for newbies who are visitors to the forum also will regularly storm Opun such negate e reviews and remarks from member here from time to time.

So in this case,  is not entirely bad to pump this thread to keep it at the top so as for it to reflect and be visible as easily as possible,  that will help a lot,  so I may not blame the ops for doing so to keep the thread up.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have your own casino. on: November 14, 2023, 10:30:22 PM
Many people who are involved in gambling or casino will have a dream to have their own casino but to make a casino requires a huge amount of money, huge amount of money as well as enough security that is why many people do not fulfil their dream of building their own casino. I've been gambling for a long time, sometimes I think if I had a casino like this I might be able to manage gambling better but now I don't worry too much about what's more likely not to happen. I am happy to gamble in other casinos, I take gambling as fun so even if I don't have my own casino there is no problem.
Founding is one of the most important and difficult tool for establishing a gambling site and since gambling generates a lot of profits and revenues same way it will also requires you to also have other expertise that will make the journey easy for you as a gambler,  although some time you may feels that the gap between being a gambler and operating you own casino is slim,  but then you must know that the two are also wide in opposites and that is something that most people doesn't understand,  you can gamble with money and still be ok,  but you can't operate your own casino just by having the money alone and that the reasons why you will be need other things outside money before considering to open a casino.

Although one with money can employ the services of an operator but that will also come with its own risks,  so it does better for you to have the skills needed to operate the casino.
1613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cash out or keep playing? on: November 14, 2023, 08:53:53 PM
I want to pose a question that I believe is quite expensive for many of us here, and it's a dilemma most of us can relate to. We all know that gambling is a game where we put our luck to the test. However, there's a crucial moment in every gambler's journey. the moment when you hit that big win. Do you cash out and savor your victory, or do you continue playing in hopes of even bigger winnings?

I've often wondered how many of us can truly stop playing when we are ahead. It's a challenge because the allure of winning more can be irresistible. I've witnessed situations where a friend deposited money into a casino, faced losses, and just when he was on the brink of frustration, he struck a significant win. Did he stop playing? No, he left his winnings in the casino, only to lose it all again.
So, I ask you all, what would you do when you finally make that big win? Would you cash out immediately to enjoy your winnings, or would you keep playing in the hopes of an even more substantial prize? Shocked
You have to withdraw as soon as you win a significant amount reason being that,  it is the only way you can save your money from more losses and for sure if you continue it will be to loses which you may not be able to avoid simply because you refused or delayed to take out your money when you had the chance to.

Your friend who ended up losing everything went too far with his luck so he has continued to play despite not having experienced an early loss before the winnings,  but in the end, he still lost it all due to greed if not haveave savedsome bits of his winning.

Anyway, at least it is glad we have not seen any signature campaign around of these idiots in a long time.  Roll Eyes
their representatives aren't active in the forum anymore, so I am not surprised since there's no reason for them to continue to run a signature campaign, and I hope they never come back too like they previously did. they promised to fix the mess they did in the past but they ended up just making more mess and further ruining their reputation.
We are going to have some fresh air for once from the pollution that came along with 1xbits and its teams, at least we are going to be saving a bunch of ass who may fail victim to this scam casino even though there are already members of this forum, they exit from advertising here in the forum is an indication of the defeat here in the forum even though their will still continue to scam other gullible gamblers outside the forum.

I heard that of the sister project,  1xbet is refusing to pay some Nigerians the sum of 90 million naira,  which is another display of the usual refusal to pay customers just like the other cases that we have heard from them.
1615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling and Invest in gambling. on: November 14, 2023, 08:21:47 PM
On my visits to the gambling grounds, I will be lending my funds to the losers who have run out of funds and are willing to bet more if they have more money.
If you can start an online lending business, it is better than this and you will make money from it. If it is lending money to gamblers, you are not making the right decision because it is bad to even lend gamblers any money at all. In gambling, one of the rules is to not borrow money to gamble. As a gambler, you are supposed to know this.
I think the only way one can make money from the gambling business is to either operate a casino or make and bankroll investment holding on the casino and this anything outside that is a high-risk attempt that may result in losses and considering lending money to a gambler is like gambling yourself, there is a tendency that you lose some or all the money.

So that way that the mate wants to go is going to lead him to sure lose,  because he may not have any guarantee for a payback.
1616  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting strategies on: November 13, 2023, 06:35:06 PM
For me the best form of sport bet strategy is to always fake your chances at any amount higher in proportion to your staked amount because cash out may help you to escape a total lost of the bet if you wait too late too long to take your chances as things turn out with events at hand along the way.

But then this strategy may not also go down well with many other people,  even though it works out well for some of us and seeing that cashout is one of the strategy that have helped me to achieve more with my stake instead of possible lose,  so cash out is my most preferred sportbet strategy that works for many of us here.

1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greed or risk on: November 13, 2023, 05:11:47 PM
Sometimes you need to take risks to get something bigger, I see something in the picture is more about taking risks. Someone who always believes in his decisions will always be confident in the results obtained, he hasn't thought the way you think, there will be the right time to cash in and enjoy the results at stake. What is seen in the picture gives rise to different speculations, but the final decision depends on the owner of the money. His decisions are very correct based on his ability to predict, he will feel like the luckiest person because the risks taken are in line with expectations.


And again, not all risks are profitable, some risks some people take are very stupid and uncalculated risks, even if they end up making something good from such risk, it's only by luck, some will call it grace.

But what i do know is that, 99 percent of stupid and uncalculated risks always end up on losses and disaster for the risk taker, so even though it's good to take risk, as we cannot succeed without taking some level of risk, it is also very important that we mind the type of risk we take, else, we end up losing the little we have managed to gather over the years or period of time.

Yeah, risk can be good and bad at the same time,  but what is most important is to take calculated risks because that is the only way you can make something good out of the risk,  and for that, if you take risks for just risks sake truly it will end in regret because chances are there that you will make a wrong choice along the line regardless of what the outcome of the risk may be.

First, for a reasonable person,  there is no risk if it is not calculated and for such in some cases you select the risk you take and I think that is the smartest way to handle risks,  I can not really relate anything to grace when it comes to risk and any uncalculated risk for me is stupidity and the gambler need to be checked because courtesy demands that,  be for you take any risk,  you have to take and carry out. Foisic evaluation of the whole process and make sure you know what you are opting into before you take the risk but anything outside that,  is not a smart way to act.
1618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: November 13, 2023, 05:02:46 PM
Being drunk while gambling or gambling under intense conditions when I don't have my comforts it affects me a lot of time and I have learn to always stay away from gambling when I am tipsy,  because at that level,  I will not be able to make a quality decisions since I may be under the influence of substances that are beyond my control.

Also, I don't gamble to chase a direction,  because be it loses or winning,  whatever direction that may not favour my timing limits,  is already a red flag that can lead to a more unfavourable outcome in the long run.
1619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: November 13, 2023, 04:53:45 PM
Initially, Benzema departure from Real Madrid made most fans worried that Madrid would experience a very deep decline performance, but fact, Real Madrid still the same as before, having quite a strong performance with Ancelotti and on the one hand, Real Madrid key players are still at the club. This and the arrival of Bellingham provide quite good changes for Madrid future, even in Champions League matches. Real madrid always performs perfectly and the opportunity to get trophy in the Champions League currently looks very convincing.
For now, without a striker like him, Real Madrid is already quite good, but would be better if they immediately looked for a striker and were given an offer early on so as not to lose the opportunity to get the striker.
Not only did Benzema's departure from Real Madrid make the fans worried,  but also the club's performance has been greatly affected negatively this is what is at hand right now and the main reasons why Real Madrid has been underperforming lately since it went to another club,  first I don't see that,  Real Madrid made any possible replacement plans before signing the player off the club,  and also I see that they have not made any possible strong hand replacement to that gap created also,  and this have become the basis for Real Madrid underperformance in this season and even in the last season.

Well too we may also have to look at some other factors that may have possibly contributed to their underperformance and the benzema negative effects on the club for this season which is the lack of readiness of the club management to properly manage themselves through using the available lesser players to cover up for the time.
1620  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: November 13, 2023, 04:04:08 PM
Many believe that gambling is for young people online as they need thrill and and fun. But I think that even old people can enjoy gambling. There should be any age to retire from gambling at all. One can do this activity and leisure time and thus it does not affect retirement related activities also.
For me quilting has never been something that I consider for now and that is because,  I am still enjoying gambling and for such I think will still keep myself entertained throughout old age and so such, I may not have any specific time frame to say that is the age I quit gambling and since I also gamble just for the fun,  I don't think my gambling habit will become a burden for me in the future when I am old.

The only time I will consider quitting gambling is when I start having memory losses that lead to steady losses that I can't control,  at that point I will give up because I know then that I may not have any more chances to fund my gambling activities through the games.
