Edit

Well, I think that person was not jealous of the "Mattress Mack" as mostly we feel jealous of our friends or anyone close to us (Whom we know personally). We do not feel jealous of the famous personalities around us, or do we?

I think in this case, the man was frustrated because he himself had lost the bets and seeing a successful gambler near him, he just showed his frustration and nothing else. Instead of criticising him, we should feel pity for him and need to know the hard facts of his life due to which he reached this situation. He must be in desperation in life, we never know.
at this point,  criticism is no longer necessary thos is so because the did have already been done and at that, and the only thing we can learn from this situation is the lesson as not to go all in on a bet,  no matter who the team or players are,  and we should only gamble with what we can afford to lose and be fine with without a pressure on our mental well being for a long time.

First, we have to acknowledge the fact that gamblers are in different classes and a small amount that gambler A consider as nothing may be a big amount for gambler mr B so we have to accept this fact at all time in between and never get confused by any form of attempts.

Obviously the forum's most favorite "sport" is debating about Bitcoin's price/market, and trying to predict other coins' prices. Perhaps Shuffle's next promotion in BitcoinTalk should be centered around Bitcoin price predictions? A promotion on guessing the price of Bitcoin during the next halving would be very very good. I'm confident many people would be happy to give their predictions, with or without a prize. Cool

Or if you want it to be more educational, maybe a prediction of the month when Jerome Powell decides to pivot from QT to QE. Everyone also loves debating about that.
Bitcoin price prediction game will be a nice one but then we have to consider the timing of all this,  when you want to do a promotion,  first thing is to decisuthe the timing and what approach to take that will attract the right audience to your platform and first among which is to put the reputation and capabilities of the site to test,  and the best way to do this I to run a review campaign.

Just like I suggested yesterday,  because such a form of promotion gives members the mandate to register for a d test around the casino and thereafter give their honest reviews about the project here in the forum,  this form is a short-term long-impact promotion
1883  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: DCA BTC-USDT- ₦ my current formula due to Nig situation on: October 27, 2023, 04:35:43 PM
this thread discussion should be focused on the statistical analysis of the current market situation and how best we can apply the DCA approach to stay at gains using the naira vs the USDT and thereafter USDT vs BTC.

As we can see that the market is fast rising in exchange rate of usdt to naira, this means taking opportunity to get an investment opportunity in USD will be of great benefits because by next week now we don't know what may turns out on the exchange rate, the idea is on two basis now, exchage rate is fast increasing and then bitcoin is also pumping in price, this is my own take in this present situation, if you're going long then take advantage in investing as you can afford, if you're into trading, DCA is the best pattern to go about for now because you're going on a short position.
At the moment Nigeria is trading against the dollar in the parallel market and just like the BTC gain and trying to establish a resistance price of around $34k-$35k, and the Nigeria naira made some gain against the dollar by relying on around the #1250 value,  this shows that the United state dollars hard a bad market against both currencies and bitcoin still remains the highest gainers for the week closing at Friday.
1884  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Peni*s is the most insensate organ in man's body on: October 27, 2023, 04:30:24 PM
Say no to RAPE. Do not allow your urge to destroy you. It's quiet unfortunate that men get punished for committing offence against women whom themselves are often times guilty of.

When did you hear a woman sentenced for rapping a man or even sexually assaulting small boys? You think women don't do this things too?

Dear men, stay woke and focused so you don't allow the pleasure of a few minutes ruin your life and your family name.
Na mumu dey rape woman for this Naija woman full scatter. Everywhere you turn women mount and are ready to go, why person go take risk say him wan rape woman? Government supposed bring law wey go make those wey rape person collect public beating first before any other punishment.

Women dey rape man too but e no plenty. Some mumu men self go happy make women rape them that na why plenty law no cover that side.

My advice to boys be say, rape na risky something... no go collect things full for your body untop five minutes pleasure because plenty of our girls dem carry things and things for body. Unto say rapist no dey use protection, na express them dey go so o.
True true this discussion is very necessary because at first there be need for sexual education among young adults such as we here because a lot need to be learned even as a married couple and not just single people,  but also we need to make a bold statement as regards to rape and even the federal government gave life sentence to those that commit that crime,  rape is animalistic behaviour and a mental disorder same as rituals and the rest of those mental deray line of thinking.

But then men are more involve in this case due to the fact that,  men have more physical energy to force a woman more than it is that a woman can possibly do same to a man,  so the case of rape is like gambling,  even though women involve in gambling,  it is still referred to as the man thing at some point.
1885  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Spirituality and Betting - Do they Have any Connection? on: October 27, 2023, 03:57:12 PM
Now, my question is, does God play a part in our gambling activities? Do you think how much faith or not, we have in God (or whatever we serve as a God) has anything to do with how much we win or lose in sports betting and gambling in general?
There is no where in the bible that talks about gambling as a sin, but it is in the bible that the love of money is the root of evil. Gambling supposed to be fun and be done with little amount of money. If a christian is gambling with very huge amount of money and thinking God will help him, he is only digging the space of depression for himself and if care is not taken, it may be worst than depression. I do not know what I can call this than stupidity and he is testing God, and which is wrong.
Exactly,  back then in the old days while as an undergraduate student I wrote one course exam like that where this question was put forward by I e of our lecturer.

What is the place of God in football match/ gambling?

Where is the place of God in politics?

All this are great questions that help us get some level of information and building a scientific understanding around those subjects terms,  I believe that in gambling and politics god is just a spectator.
1886  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: October 27, 2023, 02:28:15 PM

You are right and I completely agree with you, it is good to drink coffee, but even while at it, we can as well but some lottery tickets as well, for we never can tell what will happen through those tickets.

When comparing money spent on coffee to that spent on lottery tickets, I can personally say that I perceive money spent on buying lottery tickets as money kind of invested because there is a chance of good profit if the buyer is lucky.
But money spent on buying a coffee is like money thrown away, as there is no chance of making any profit from such money, aside from the enjoyment and pleasure felt while drinking the coffee, outside of this, that money is like money thrown inside a toilet since the coffee will eventually be pissed out.
Well a cup of coffee can still boost your morale to make some more money from your work,  but losing from the lottery can drain you of that motivation,  so I say both lottery ticket and money spent on Cofee is and are all the same unless in rear cases which we can't rely on to make any judgement about this, anyways we have to also take the time to place everything around each other and not try to compare what is not comparable at some point.

Doing that may drain us from engaging in more active and relevant discussions,  and to avoid that we need to focus more on the most relevant of them all which is proper money management.
1887  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT EXACTLY IS A DEFI BUSINESS ? on: October 27, 2023, 02:23:16 PM


Back in those days when most projects are trusted and stands on their words even there are most of them that comes to launch without running an ICO, IDO and IEO yet they are successfully launched in exchange with good prices then but what they mostly do is that they just involved themselves with an airdrops after which they share to applicants and they sells out with a good prices. Then we can say of believing in their words but not now whereby people has turned the cryptocurrency space to a scamming industry were anyone would just come to scam people with fake promises and after their target are being met the close and fold down, same thing are applicable with some cryptocurrency exchange. The most important thing is that when a new project is launching we should be very mindful in times of putting our resources as an earlier investor because most at times those who often comes as an earlier investors are the people who always falls victims of being scammed.
Back then projects where serious in pursuit pf their road maps and achieving a real-life relevance in the market,  back then there were records of multiple successful projects and at that, we have records of good altcoins to lay hold on and make some good investments,  some even go as a long term investment,  but the various crisis that has faced the market has made it almost possible to be able to point to any of those successful projects back then.

Be that as it may,  we can't deny the recent flooding of the market by fake projects that have drained out investors and most of the projects in that category are where you see a project just popping up and making several promises without any workable user case for the investors to rely on as a liquidity for the project,  this is why we have seen a lot of the pumped and dumped coins that we have around in the market today.

1889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 11:19:27 PM
I feel bad for the lady. If she decides to leave the relationship, I think it would more than just about money.
Yeah actually if a man will have I mind to use there wedding savings for gambling he is not worthy to be married and if I'm to be in the shoe of that women perhaps I will be left with no option but to leave the man because if a man has the mind to gamble using there wedding savings to gamble there is every possibility of using there house someday for gambling.

Irrespective of how sure a bet may seem, using money saved for wedding to gamble is totally unacceptable and a person like that should be referred as a gambling addicts.
Making contributions to get married or even taking loan to get married with are both not a good ways to start a family,  and one of the cardinal points of marriage is the ability to sustain your family as a man,  and in doing that you as a man must have a good income system and on long term base to avoid running into bankruptcy after the wedding and everything and if care is not taken and proper arrangement is not made by the man before marriage,  the pressure from the marriage may force one of the partner to walk out of the marriage.

So for a man that have such issues with gambling even though he is not financially stable is not yet man enough to start a family because there is the possibility that in the future he may start gambling with their children's school fees or be unable to pay the bill due to being exhausted from gambling passively to make an earns means.

Hmmm... I find it very difficult to believe that he isn't bothered by the fact that he's spending his cash without really getting much of an income/cash back.. honestly. If he's actually letting out his history online, then I believe he's got 'em in full consideration... If he's not also thoughtful about it in a good way, then he isn't bothered about it...

Sandra 🧑‍🦰
To some extent,  that mack of a guy have hard long time history and records of loads of winning before now,  and if that be the case he already won and he may have become used to this kind of situations because no being boardersd about a 10 million dollars lost is something that is born out of his long term experience in this space and that goes a long way to also point to how much he may have won from this games on the past to have been so confident to risk such an amount on a single bet,  although he may be under some influence e.g.


addictions,  thos could be as a result of him chasing particular directions that may not be so favorable to him at some point. P
1891  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WHAT EXACTLY IS A DEFI BUSINESS ? on: October 26, 2023, 10:53:28 PM
this makes the Defi market only look like a mere speculative market and nothing more that at some point in time.
But if you must know don't you think the entire cryptocurrency market are basically on a speculative aspect, as everyone seems not to be certain about the outcome of the results rather being optimistic that something may likely happen, this could be growth ( bull run) or decrease (bear run) and based on popularly said about the two seasons.

So it's very easy for someone to say something but that doesn't mean it must happened and even if it happens that doesn't show that such person is an expert because we know these are two things possible that we must experience and anyone who speaks according to the direction of the market often claims to be a professional which to me is not rather I can call such person a speculator.
I agree with you on that,  off course the whole cryptocurrency market is based on speculations but in doing so,  we have to measure the risk level,  and try to compare them among coins to be able to ascertain which of the coins is less risky and worth the risk at all,  even though we are in an uncertain market,  and we have to rely on luck to be able to choose the right coin that will lead to that anticipated profits in the long run or even short term base.

On the second note,  the ability to right predict the possible outcome of a market is uncertain sometimes,  but still we have a few of those projects that say what they mean and mean what they say,  but projects at that level are rare and can not easily be discovered with just our ordinary inquiry but you must have to hard long time of follow up on them to be able to choose rightly.
1892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 26, 2023, 10:47:24 PM
Talking about player injuries, it seems that Barcelona is also facing a new problem because their loan player from Atletico, Joao Felix, reportedly suffered an injury in last week's match against Bilbao. However, it seems that the injury is not serious and he will be in the El Clasico match this week. It is possible that even if he is included in the squad, it seems that Xavi will not take too many risks and I think he will only be benched or only come on as a substitute to freshen up their attack line. I hope that the news that has affected the players who suffered injuries ahead of the El Clasico match will recover quickly so that we will see the two teams competing at full strength.

Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy1UbMaswe5/
At this stage it more important for club to protect their players from getting injured even though that may sound impossible but realistic if common wisdom is apply because we have seen the impact of players injuries on the overall performance of the clubs several times before and the negativity around such absence is too expensive for the club to bear and at that should make out ways to keep the players out of injury zone.

The news of Felix's feature in the next Barcelona outing is highly relieving for both the club management and fans since we will be expecting a good time out in the next match as said.

Join the BTC discussion and let us know where you think it's headed! Will it skyrocket past 35K 🚀 or experience a dip 📉? Your insights matter, so cast your vote and share your crypto wisdom with the community! 📊

We can expect to see more price uptrend movement in the coming days because the signal from the recent market reactions have shown that clear intention and data that bitcoin has already broken that benchmark of 30k which has created a lot of resistance for the price since it took a lot of time before we can achieve that,  and if Bitcoin price can sustain this price benchmark for a week or two,  it then become a sure bet for speculators in the season and even beyond.

Roger that, will add for you ASAP! More promotions coming soon, we run a lot of promos outside of Bitcointalk but I'll see what we can do in adding some more forum specific ones.
Yeah I have seen a few of the outside-the-forum promotions but then I haven't seen much here in the forum aside from the signature campaign that is actively ongoing at present,  but since you already mentioned that you are about to do another form of promotion here on the forum,  so let me suggest for you if you don't mind.

The best form of test promotion for your casino is to conduct a review campaign that way,  you have many who subscribe to that promotion to be able to be part of the casino after giving their honest reviews about you casino.

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you invest your money in cryptocurrency tokens. Very often the price of the token falls and you lose your money. But don't feel bad, maybe at the next bull run the price of FUN will rise and you can make a profit. At least you enjoyed the free spins.
Gambling tokens are very unrealistic and with a few of such coins getting dumped in the market with out any chance of recovery make it not worth it to invest in such casino tokens,  unless in situation where those tojens are used as utility coins in the casino and have to offers some form of incentive for their customers who use those tokens to gamble on those casinos.

We need to then be very selective and make sure to pay close attention to the development of those tokens and what their long-term road map can be before we ever choose those tokens as investment choices.
1896  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Supreme Court Justices a Shame or Praise on: October 26, 2023, 09:42:54 PM


I already knew the judgement was a miscarriage of justice. The Supreme Court justices are all compromised,  so it will be an aberration for you to expect justice in an unjust judicial system, you can see how the petitions we all thrownout for lacking of merits, petitions that ordinarily have substance they use technicalities, to struck out petitions without looking at the nitty gritty of the petition, just look at the way they were just using technicalities and excuses to shut down the petition, that tells you that this is a miscarriage of justice.
It is what it is,  regardless of the outcome of the Supreme Court judgement it was already a settled deal a long time ago because if the result of the election or the main date is a stolen one,  the winners shouldn't have been sworn in on the first place,  this is the limitation that we have in our electoral law and this was something that we have to change this law but then the rolling class will never allow that to happen because that will be a big climb down on the scam scheme.

What do you expect from the judgment of a judge who is appointed by the ruling party and mostly by the president at some point and that is why he must dance to the tone being played by the president.

For sure nothing can remove Tinubu,  from office right now,  since he is sworn in and already has his cabinet members,  anyways we also must know that no politician is clean from all this kind of fraud.

Government too is to be blamed Sha cuz if you go all these government offices no workers yet they won't employ fresh graduates. Na only God can help us
First I have to agree with the fact that the country is not well positioned to function the way it should function and that blame goes to the leaders and our government agencies that have to implement laws,  and what also aid the weak institution of our weak constitutional that doesn't make provision for a lot of things in the society.

A large chunk of the blame also goes to the people of Nigeria because we have a very wrong mentality and how we have made today's society to be seen as a competition of wealth shows off,  and most times those wealth sources.

Another blame goes to some of our parents of Nawa days because I don't expect a father or mother to celebrate the success of a child whose source of income is unknown and can be traced to any profitable engagements in real life,  a lot is going wrong,  aside from the government not giving job to graduates,  there is still also high rate of an unfriendly government policy that makes it hard for young graduates to start up any start-up businesses.
1898  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What Coin is Best for short term speculation on: October 26, 2023, 09:23:13 PM
Try layer-2 network tokens, especially new ones. Because just in case we are in a bull run again, we will see a huge increase in the market cap of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) while the majority will benefit from it will Ethereum, and second is for sure layer-2 networks as they will become alternative for Ethereum.
Layer 2 projects are the new gem in the coin market this day and in preparation for the next bull run holding a few priced coin wouldn't be a bad idea Memecoin have become the order of the day and at that, we must be on the look out for their market break out shortly.

But we also need to have this at the back of our mind that layer 2 and other meme projects are best for short-term speculations and at some point it may become obvious that holding them for long-term holding won't be a wise investment choice.
1899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 26, 2023, 08:58:51 PM

Some players just have a bad omen after they make a move to a new club and that's what Tonali is experiencing, he is a fantastic player and all but things aren't just falling in place for him, although Newcastle are still not to be considered as a big team even if they haven't been playing badly. I believe that before any player moves they should do their research on how favourable the move can be for them and what benefits can they get.
That is not out of the ordinary because the experience of players not being able to perform up to their expectations or standard in the new club is not something new,  and it has been evident in most of the players' lives because changing a club for a player has a lot to do with their overall performance for a while before they finally get used to the new pattern of their new club,  but then before any player should go to a new club,  they already have a plan of how long it going to take them before they get fully integrated into the club.

Even if the player does research before signing a new deal,  that still will not limit the chances of them to underperform for a while before they become used to the new position.
1900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: "Mattress Mack" loses nearly 10 million dollars on Astros Loss on: October 26, 2023, 08:26:21 PM
I won't want to blame the individual you mentioned for being obsessed with gambling to have risk such an amount,  but then from his behaviour as you analyzed,  it looks like something may not be right with the guy,  I won't say he is addicted anyways but the possibility of that also is high in this situation.

Who knows what's the real reason why that guy was yelling at him?

As I understand it, there could be chances that since Mattress Mack won so much money betting (approximately 75 million in last year in the World Series), people might try to copy him, bet big amounts, lose and then become frustrated on such popular personalities. They become jealous when they see people like Mattress Mack winning such big amounts while they are always on the losing side.

Also usually people do not earn a million dollars in a lifetime while Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale places a bet for $1 million.
This uneven distribution of money is another reason why anyone can scream at the person who is being so lucky in life, expressing his own hopelessness and frustrations.

Anyone becoming jealous of a gambling winning must be out to lose along the line,  because before you see anyone making such winning he or she may have recorded a series of losses also and at that, no one should feel jealous since you don't know what they have been through before arriving at such winning, anyways mattress Mack is a big name in the casino with his total wager amount and being one of those that have experienced big winning and also hard a bitter tests of the big loses also just like in this case,  it makes more sense then not to follow his pattern since not everyone will have the chance and luxury of time and money stake such high risk.

But then is either you win or lose but regardless of whatever becomes the reality of anyone,  it should be at the back of our mind that individuals have their different luck and experience so there is no need to copy anyone at all.
