This sounds more of an advice than it is online to what Defi stands for as captured in the title,  by then I was expecting to see the basic background function of the Defi market and looking to see if truly has any real-life user case that will make them more relevant in the future.

Most of those who buy into the idea have long been abandoned in some cases because I know few of the Defi projects that have not acted or played out as they promised inventors and this makes the Defi market only look like a mere speculative market and nothing more that at some point in time.

He must be a big gambling propeller,  having recorded tons of accumulated wager amounts,  this is another example of how the big guys can go all in,  similar to what happened in my country where another team's fans place a bet of half of this amount in my local currency and unfortunately he lost since he chose Chelsea to win against Asernal bit the match ended in a draw so he lost that amount.

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.

Yes, that's the conclusion, yes it's just a suggestion that will not guarantee an easy win, because all cannot be separated from luck. Maybe the person who suggested it because he just got a big win on that site so he suggested playing on the site that person mentioned, but this kind of thing does not guarantee to win.

Apart from luck, what you mentioned is the impact of gambling where your friend lost and blamed the other person who suggested the site. He should not blame others, because basically if he gambles, he must be ready to lose like the person above. The principle must be ready to lose and can limit gambling games so as not to fall deeper, because of course the bad effects of what you mentioned are already visible. So it can trigger disputes between friends that will become a small chaos in the friendship environment.
No knowledgable gambler will blame another person for their loses even though it be the friend that make refer them to the site,  and if you lose it doesn't have anything to do with site unless for the few casinos who may have poor reputations and scammy character that will purposely set the game in a fraudulent way to place the house at 100% advantage only such casino will trick gamblers into lives just to take off their balance,  casinos in that categories are the bad actors in the market today and we have to stay aways from them by all means.

But aside from that,  if you gamble in a reputable casinos,  what will stand between you and you victory will be just luck and little bit of skills.

Manchester City though have been struggling since the absence of Gundogan and De Brunye but have still found ways to win. The absence of this duo has affected Erling Haaland with the rate at which he score goals. .
There's no EPL team that doesn't face challenges in a season, besides all teams have their moments when they passes through difficulties. We all thought Manchester City was untouchable due to the incredible squad formed, but with their current situation, it's becoming very clear that they're mere ordinary teams just as the rest. Erling Haaland have become one of the top goal scorers in EPL in his first season at Manchester City. Though he didn't achieved all these awards by himself but gathered by teamwork from his teammates. Pep Guardiola is in Etihad Stadium to make a difference interms of performance and titles.
Since over 3 seasons ago I stopped believing that there be a strong team that can consistently win the EPL trophy at all times in some cases it is that if they manage to win two consecutive seasons my be they lose the third one,  so what is happening with Manchester city is not too new to most of us,  and even though they are the defending champion in the EPL it still have a lot to do with time and seasons and if the club is not careful,  they may not be able to retain the current status in this season or even the coming season also.

But then we have to take another closer look at things and be able to properly forecast the future in the EPL for Manchester City and other top clubs who are struggling for those top positions but with the level of available players for each club,  Manchester City still looks to have the best players on their squad if you check properly.

Trading is very different from gambling. Your job is done! Sports betting and futures trading have a "science" behind them. You have charts, data, history, etc. Besides luck, it's all about strategy

Now, how about some gambling games? Totally different game. You can't forecast a roulette move with a chart, can you? You can't. In trading, you've got tools, tools, tools. You have history and data. Analyze, forecast, strategize. But in gambling? Just you and Lady Luck. She's fickle. Gambling and trade are different, although some features are comparable. Remember, always play it smart, whether you're betting or trading
For the fact that,  gambling have no draw down rules that can and should be followed just like we have workable rule for trading,  that alon make both incomparable and largely different to each other in terms of their operations and realities,  some time we may feel that both gambling and trading are same in practice since both have almost similar risks and available measure of unpredictability of the future outcome,  only that similarity alon os not enough to categorized both into same or being on the same pages at some point.
1906  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: October 26, 2023, 06:38:36 PM
it is when I establish my weekly budget for the slots, because I use the slots to de-stress, it is something very different from what is sought, in this case I am a person who does not seek to win but to entertain myself and have a good time, to forget about the common world, the system under which we live, and many will say why don't I play to win at slots? very easy, slots are purely luck, and I don't like to put luck to the test, even if it's high I don't trust it, it's very easy to spend a lot of money on a slot when you're looking to win, so the truth is I don't have much confidence In this, because I prefer other types of games if I want to look for profits, that's what moves me, poker, black jack and I still want something more random, some plinko, crash, and the inimitable roulette, that's what I can say that they are given more to luck, but still look for the limits if they are necessary to establish them.

Slot seem to be the choice when it comes to flexibility in playing, although I have not been overly participating in soot games at some point,  but then from the numerous comments and reviews that I have read about lot games,  it sound to be one of the most entertaining games on casinos and if that be true it then means that slot is the best choice when you want to relaxe and eas up some stress like for the weekend and at some point also we may have a group tournaments if that be possible,  but that all have to be done within the acceptable time frame that be set by you the gamblers.

Since with slot you don't require too much skills and have to rely on luck at most time,  this makes it easy to get around with it just cashing fun and relying on your luck to win a few bulk.
1907  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it possible to build a career with bitcoin? on: October 26, 2023, 06:27:21 PM
One of my older brothers bought bitcoin with that money, instead of keeping it in the bank, about 6 months ago, the price of bitcoin was 24-25k+, and he bought about 1 BTC. The price of bitcoin has increased to 34K+. In just 6 months, he has made a profit of 9k+ dollars, which would have taken more than 20 years to get from the bank. This means that Bitcoin can become a millionaire if people invest in it at the right time. I also bought some bitcoins myself and did it by withdrawing money from the bank. Success is not possible if you do not take risks in life. I know how hard it is to make money and if it is to sweat your head and work day and night, then it is worth it. And we can make a lot of income by buying or trading bitcoin with the right rules. I think bitcoin is a bright future for us.



Yeah, Bitcoin is a great investment tool that has the capability of making one a millionaire within a short time,  but also note that we still have those who lose also such as those who bought Bitcoin when the price was around 40k and are waiting for a long time now for the price to recover back and make some profits for them.

Those Bitcoin investors have been in the waiting line for quite some time now and still do not know how much longer they will keep waiting to achieve that price benchmark.

So as we have market gainers so also we have market losers in Bitcoin,  so when it comes to Bitcoin investment,  is very important to make sure you have bought your Bitcoin at the right time,  to avoid jumping in at a high price.
1908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 26, 2023, 05:40:53 PM

Gambling is from the mind and not from the age so even when you are old and you mind is there to do it, you are free to do and I have seen old people in the gambling halls though they are not much compare to young guys in the gambling halls. And another thing we have have to know is that, we have to work hard when we are young so when we grow old we can rest and enjoy our  youth labour. Really it is not good when you are gambling at the old age. You gamble from the youth age till old age, Why? It doesn't look nice. You can sort to other businesses and do business at your old age and my gambling. Now when you enter the betting hall and you didn't see any of your age mates how will you feel? It will be better for him to do business and leave gambling for the young.
That is it,  I think anyone who is already used to gambling will have no problem with gambling even in old age,  the level of active gambling may differ and at that point, you may want to cut down on the level and amount of playing and doing so one need to open up a lot of things to those around you since at old age there will be a lot of things that you may not be able to do on your own at that point,  e.g time management this is very important most especially in checking the amount of time and money used in gambling at that point.

Many of the old people decide to even gamble more than they did while they were young,  but then it still has its own high limitation that the gambler needs to set up on their own at that age.
1909  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling Generally An Illicit Activity? on: October 26, 2023, 05:33:53 PM
Gambling is not an illicit activities, but we are the ones that make illicit activities comes out in gambling with our hands, we are expected to gamble as a means of an entertainment, people are expected to enjoy gambling during their leisure free time, those that made gambling a business also were expected to make profits in providing us with adequate gambling activities, but when there are other motives hiden under the normal ways of how gambling should run, we are the ones that are found responsible for that.

Well let's face the facts, gambling casinos are made with the intention of making money from them and they are not made for charity purposes or not even, they are made for to provide fun to the gamblers.
Similarly, the gambler's motive is to earn money and there are very few who are playing only for fun.

However, i do agree that gambling by itself is not an illicit activity. It is only the player's way of gambling and the motive behind their gamble, that makes us believe that it is an illicit activity.
As the casino intention is to make money from the gambler through the wagering processes and also the losses,  this is why the casino has what we call house edge,  this house edge makes it possible for the casino to earn a lot of revenue through the losses of the gambler,  and also gamblers on the other hand have to choice and aim to hit a jackpot from the casino.

Most sports bettors from my region,  always carry the mentality of winning millions of dollars with their 50cent staking, which has made it almost impossible for them to ever win but with the little luck experienced by some who have been so lucky to have won an amount that can change the financial life,  this has made is a two ways,  the gamblers vs the casinos either the lose or win.
1910  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 26, 2023, 05:24:38 PM
De Gea is still free agent. I saw a source claiming that Manchester United might rethink of signing him back. However that source was The Sun so I don't believe anything they publish.  Grin

Apart from that it is said he can even decide for an early retirement depending on his getting a satisfying offer from a team. I hope he doesn't get retired this early in his career. 32 isn't an old age for a goalkeeper. Especially for a great goalkeeper like him. Probably teams from Europe don't want to approach due to his high demand. Otherwise I don't know the reason. Maybe he would get an offer from Saudi Arabia or Qatar.

Returning? That would be wise idea to consider. Manchester United literally snubbed David De Gea after agreements on reducing his contract for a lesser one and they didn't keep to his own part of the bargain. Now wanting a player disrespected back into the club won't go easy. There might be little atom of truth Innit!
David De Gea should have known better what it looks like to return to Manchester United ( Let's take for example Cristiano Ronaldo who has played at thr highest level of his career and how he was disrespected )

-snip
Man United will not possibly re sign De Gea because Ten Hag current trust is only in Onana and yes I know De Gea is more experienced but we dont know the exact reason why Man United does not want to keep De Gea if he really has good talent and We can take another example like De Gea If he is truly said to be a reliable goalkeeper, why are not there any big teams from europe who want to recruit him?
and my speculation is that perhaps some managers or coaches already know that De Gea decline in performance has begun to appear, even though he is not too old, but the decline in performance has been visible since he was at Man United, so several teams doubt it and De Gea efforts have said that he will retire if there is no big european team buying him was a very stupid attempt in my opinion as if it showed how bad his performance was that no team wanted to buy him.
My interest is not with D Gaa for any reason why because he have hard previous history with Manchester united and at that will not be performing well to expectations in cause so for that is better Manchester united to bring in some new blood as a goalkeeper since this is a very crucial position that should not be carelessly filled with any how signing.

Even though the need for Manchester United to sign a new goalkeeper is high,  is still important to take the right steps in doing so because Man United can't afford to make any further mistakes in the selection since this is the last transfer window on the season.
1911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: October 26, 2023, 08:20:34 AM
I also feel sorry for the lady but life goes on. If she called off the wedding, life goes on.

But I want to ask a question. The lady only called off the wedding and continue with the man or she also broke up with the man? The finance may not be a gambler but just want to try his luck, but that is stupidity.

I have seen something like this before but I did not know who contributed the money. Men like some risky. Some of them were lucky but some were not lucky.
I believe the relationship may continue and what they mean by calling off the wedding may be to postpone the wedding till further notice until they can save up another money,  but to me, the ladies were not wise to have held such cash,  in a country that the currency is so weak and inflation is rising steadily,  if anyone in her condition is wise is to always use any money that comes into the hand to buy the wedding materials pay for event centres ahead and do a whole lot that will make the money not to be physically available before any temptation like this will even happen.

The guy really messed up,  he lack value for money and had a wrong mentality about gambling,  but then he did the wrong and at that, we have to move on regardless,  but I feel for that lady she should be very disappointed right now.
1912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Live Sports Betting vs virtual Games Betting on: October 26, 2023, 06:38:26 AM
I don't think they are two comparable game modes.
with a live match you can always evaluate the status of the players on the field, there is a history, in short ... lots of information and data that helps you in your bet evaluation.
A virtual game is practically already determined and you never have these reference points that you would find in a live game... I See this as a crucial difference that really matters!
And aside from the ability to analyze the players on the team and what the level of their performance are in live games,  live game still offers the best option if you know how to follow up with the game properly you will end up winning higher than you lose,  unless if you get too greedy to allow your game to play out 100% that way you are likely not going to win the bet at the end since on live event a lot of things happened almost toward the extra time and that is something we have to consider all the time.

If I may advise anyone,  it so better to always use the cash-out feature available to be able to take home something instead of risking losing everything trying to reach the very end of the game.

`

That is true that Neymar can do a whole lot of things when he is on the pitch and his fitness is good, but didn't Al-Hilal play well already without him? I am not sure when exactly he joined the team, but wasn't that when some games have been played?

It doesn't really matter because the bottom line is that Al-Hilal should have known before they signed him that it is extremely unlikely that he will play a whole season without injuries. I mean when he arrived he was still recovering from a surgery on his ankle, and it wasn't a light surgery, it was serious. That's why it was astonishing how much money they were still willing to pay for him.
I must give credit to Al-Hilal for their, shall we say, "bold" decision to secure Neymar. The man is incredible, but he's as fragile as my grandmother's antique vase! Consider Barcelona. Certainly, he averaged about 30 games per season there, but the attendance was hardly stellar. And coming to Al-Hilal, particularly after a major operation? They ought to have known better. Its like purchasing an expensive vehicle that is constantly in the repair. Sure, its attractive, but what good is it if it doesnt function? And the icing on the cake? The insignificant compensation from FIFA.
Neymar in Al Hilal is another big lip for the Saudi Arabian club side again,  this is very much important for them at this moment since a lot have to be done in some direction that warrant us to give that club side a big congratulation and fans are looking forward to seeing some great performance from the club in the up coming games,  this is very important since other European player who migrated to the Saidi Arabic club side are all doing great well at this time.
1914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on staying responsible. on: October 25, 2023, 11:24:12 PM
By the way, experienced players may have advice that a simple inexperienced player may consider strange.  However, over time, he will begin to understand that such methods of calming down and coming into an adequate state of balance are very effective.
Advice from experienced gamblers that is given to ordinary gamblers but is considered strange or ignored is all because ordinary gamblers do not have enough experience and will ignore such advice because of the assumption that ordinary gamblers only gamble regularly to win.
So that ordinary gamblers always experience failure to control themselves in betting and gambling in a healthy manner or even worse, gamblers who often ignore such advice usually have the bad news of becoming addicted in the long run.
The level of our understanding differs and you can't compare the level of understanding of an experience gambler to that of a newbie in gambling if goi want the newbie to understand your module of operands it then means you must be ready to bring them up to your level by being able to impact them properly and at some point being experience comes with time and one may have to wait for the newbie's gambler to experience that time frame before be can understand some terms.

Most times the reason why some incur a lot of losses to the point that some time may not be able to comprehend is that they can't follow simple roles of the game and at that keep making a lot of mistakes each time.

I don't know about this article what to think as we have some real streamers and some other guys trying to copy what they do,it is difficult to distinguish yet if you see streamers playing at popular casinos it means they are sponsored by them and as such I consider them true streamers while people playing on not at all well known platforms I consider them not true as my distinction between true and false streamers,this for me have worked well as when I want to see a true streamer I immediately see at which casino he is playing,if he is playing in really big well known casinos I watch him, if not I don't.
Just like in every space of life,  once there is an original,  there sure be fake and when it comes to online a lot of things that we see online are not real don't that depending solely on information that we get from online such as streamers and other promotional shows,  shouldn't be taken seriously.

There are gambles so as that you have to approach them the best way possible this is because by so doing you avoid getting into avoidable troubles that the misinformation could have cost you.

The uptight ones who probably got straight A's and followed all the rules as children only consider USD, EUR,JPY, GBP, and CHF as major currencies. Then they label AUD, NZD, and CAD, as 'commodity currencies.
These three letters are known as is04217 currency codes. By 1973, the international organization for stadardization [iso] established the three letters codes for currencies that we use today. other nickname for USD are green backs, bones ,benjis, benjamins,  cheddar, paper ,loot, cheese bread.
All of that is old school now,  compared to cryptocurrencies (bitcoin)/an asset that double it role as a currency,  it code name BTC which is the most traded cryptocurrency in the exchange today,  I have had a bit of bad experience with forex trading I don't know if it because I was not knowledgeable about trading and also depended so much on their party.

Exactly OP, you are on point. Gambling should be seen as entertainment and not a means of making money. If you are a discipline gambler, you will know all these because, you won't be allowed to let your emotions to control you when you are losing, and you will always set aside an amount that you will use to gamble, wherever you want to gamble to avoid you using money for important things to gamble. Any gambler that don't understand this, will end up chasing his losses and might end up being an addict.
I buy also into the idea of us approaching gambling with the 100% mindset of just seeking to have fun,  unlike what people have turned gambling to this days,  we now see people gambling all with the sole aim of winning an amount that will change their life and even possibly be gambling to make earns needs and having such mindset towards gambling will only lead you to more loses at the end.

So we just have to accept gambling for what it is,  which is fun and nothing else to that,  if ever you feel like going the extra just to chase something it then means you are becoming over bearing and at that point you can easily lose your games and ultimately lose a lot of money.

Gambling is a lifelong habit and the only time one will be advised to stay off gambling is only when it becomes obvious that the individual can no longer contain their individual gambling accesses and at that level is no longer gambling per se but it now a case of addictions which have mostly affected those who placed too much high hopes and gambling for survival instead of gambling for the fun of it.

But at old age, I will probably be looking for fun so at that time I can easily spend some time gambling since I am already retired from active hustling like what I have now.
1920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Referral bonuses are waste of time on: October 25, 2023, 09:08:47 PM
This kind of behavior is mostly exhibited by scam casinos since what they care about is to steal from their customers and if they find out their secrets had been exposed, they will have no option than to delete the users account and leave no trace for the users. Being careful is what we need to keep eyes on so that we are not going to be a victim of bad casinos that will deprived us of all our struggles after referring users to the casino and not getting compensated. If we don't he same in a reputable casinos, we might even get more bonuses from the team from being a top referrer.
If a casino often change the referral terms by directly reducing the pay percentage at close to the end of the month,  then that likely a proven case of attempt scam casino,  and you should avoid such sites from that very moment,  since reputable casino will not change anything concerning the terms of service or payment percentage at frequent and suspicious manners just like the shity casinos does sometime.

It is very easy to spot the bad actors in the market unless you allow yourself to get carried away with their enticing offers that may never come and are just a means to rip you off your balance or get it stuck along the line and that is the reason why you need to avoid them in the first place.
