941  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 21, 2023, 11:17:15 PM
Everyone has their own chance of turning someone into a gambler who is addicted to gambling, especially if that person does not have good self-control while gambling. He will just continue gambling without limits because he has found pleasure in gambling and does not remember when he should stop gambling. Playing gambling requires self-control so someone who wants to gamble should already know how to treat gambling. If you can control yourself well and are not easily tempted to gamble longer than usual, you will not become someone who will become addicted to gambling because you can take care of yourself while gambling. Most people will lose self-control after gambling for some time and they will no longer remember their limits.

If i can understand the exact point being made here, you're saying that the way we also contributed to gambling addiction from our own individuals influence upon other gamblers matters alot, there's a way some gamblers will always want to make their gambling experience through the other people's influence on how they are gambling and how we don't even know or care about if others are really watching us from what we do while gambling.
Being an influence on someone means alot and just like you said,  some addicts don't know how to carry themselves and can easily expose they gambling act outside and putting it in some other person face most especially under age kids,  alot of times,  I have seen some gambler who organise parties anytime they win a big amount from gambling,  this is most likely that some of them have kids who are watching them and u wonder what kind of message the kids will be getting from them as parents.

So for sure our life also speaks to others and we may never know who are actions influences both known and unknown,  we all have to figure things out along the way.

Every one of us both male and female play a vital role in society and as long as we keep educating and training ourselves to discover how to live a better life and increase the mortality rate,  many times such discrimination between women and men come along religion and ethnic line of thought and many of such are just fallacy of ideas that seek to satisfy some selfish desires and greed worst still religious that allow such line of thought.

Both males and females have the same capacity to perform at the same level of frequency both physically and mentally,  what matters is the level of training given to both,  there is a popular saying in my region and tribe that goes that (what a man can do,  a woman can do it better).

I don't want to believe that the above speech is just a statement that has no meaning for for that I will say that those who view women as inferior are doing so based on their lack of knowledge of the capability of women.

Aren't they a cafe? Sorry I'm a troglodyte who don't know shit about them besides T-shirts and for a while I thought they are more of a musician's cafe where you get to dine and listen to some awesome tunes, maybe buy nice vinyls as well. Didn't know that they are a casino as well lol. Or perhaps you're talking about a hard rock cafe opening up near a casino, which could be the case cause it's rare for established businesses to reinvent the wheel and offer something they don't initially provide to their users.

Anywho, I see this as an absolute win for employment. It's kinda hard to get by nowadays with people having to get two or three more jobs for them to have a passable income and a means to save and invest money, opportunities like this which doesn't stray far from what we're more inclined to do is welcome and is definitely appreciated. So props to you my friend for letting us know about this awesome job opening. Would be even better if this is work from home but hey, no complaints.
I have such thoughts also when I first hard of the name,  although it is a popular name and brand and I will not be surprised if some segment of the business deals with music or entertainment so for sure we have to look out for something similar to that on the long run,  but also on the opportunity that this development provides,  for those leaving in that region to get some jobs that could be based on hourly payment as this will be a big additional source of income for the people leaving around that place, having such high pay rate is something that is very fantastic and attractive to employees who may be looking for additional income.

More also to say this development is coming from a casino showing the increase in the usage and regulation of the gambling industry since this business has gained popularity in recent times.
944  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All thanks to my family they contributed and bought bitcoin for me on: December 21, 2023, 10:11:36 PM
You should be grateful because you have good parents who support you about investing in BTC, and actually there are many parents who forbid their children from buying Bitcoin for many reasons and you are one of the lucky ones. Actually, you don't need to be nervous if you see the price of BTC continuing to rise, because if you buy before the halving, of course there is still a chance to make a profit. but op, continue to explore insights about bitcoin and of course investing in btc must use money that is ready to be lost, but you also have to have a strong intention, namely only selling BTC when there is a profit and don't panic, stay focused on your intention. op, I hope you are lucky in your investment in BTC and prove to your family and your parents that investing in BTC is certainly a good thing and very fun.
Yeah, I think the ops is very privileged to have a parent who can still give him money to buy some Bitcoin and this shows to a great extent the level of bond and love that exists in their family but then far from such that ops should rush to sell off such a gift,  because the only time,  the true potential of Bitcoin will reflect is when you hold it for long term base and this situation ops should give himself a long term perspective since he was gifted the funds to buy the Bitcoin.

Honestly, a few people have such privilege in the society we live,  to see such support from the family in something that not many understand it the way you does and how best you have to handle yourself to be able to buy at the right time and also hold for a certain period which only you understand most,  bitcoin is the most valuable asset of this century and at such, we may see a lot of such story on how we individually own our first Bitcoin and for sure I still remember how I felt when I first own my first Satoshi.
945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you Spending more or less money on Casino this Holiday season on: December 21, 2023, 10:02:05 PM
I am really glad to see by the results of the poll that people are spending less money on gambling in casinos and instead hopefully using that money to bring their friends and families joy this holiday! Or even using the money to improve themselves! Both are good.

I always try to spend as little money as I can on gambling, because I only gamble for fun. Sure, I might win or lose big sometimes, but I try to not let it get to my head. I would rather save the money on Bitcoin and give the BTC to a nocoiner as a Christmas gift. that ensures a better world, in my personal view


The majority of those who chose no,  that they are not gambling this holiday period are eventually going to gamble at the end of the day because many of them are going to have a long period pf free time and at that will want to ease out the time gambling and since this period we are going to be around friends and family who we have similar activities with we may endure in games but if not gambling anyways.

But those who are just going to take time off to rest will definitely gamble more this period and at the only way to avoid that is to schedule your timing and not spend too much time on anything that is in included in your timetable for this period if not so,  you will always fall back to gambling and even spending more time on it while you may not even notice that at some point.
946  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 21, 2023, 09:51:32 PM



Do you see this as addiction or just catching of fun?

Mind you, we just enjoy the moment and might just joke around with people making predictions based on the teams,  they love but we are mostly gamblers at our different ends.


Who ever that posted the screenshot in the group must be a core addict and if you check his debt profile you will already know how much debt he has incurred from this same approach that he has toward gambling,  I believe that many of your group members won't take him seriously because if they do it will result into massive debt increase among your department mates.

How can someone say you should take a loan to gamble with,  this is the most funny thing I heard in a long time,  even though many already know the risk tendency in gambling and how bad it could affect one life.
947  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Solana - Is it still good to buy or it's FOMO on: December 21, 2023, 09:35:41 PM
If you still have your money with you I will strongly advise that you buy Solana and hold, it's one the of digital currency having best performance this season, you can check the chart to see how it has been performing well these days, people would have said alot of things about the existing past performance which may actually discourage, but looking at what Solana is upto now, it's one of the most preferred.
You are very correct with the fact about the potentiality and performance of solana for sure this coin remain one of the most top performing coins in this season haven't given it investors alot if opportunities to make good profits from its market behaviour in the past couple of weeks and running into months,  it clear that to chose Solana as for long term base is best among others but then also,  because of the previous experience with the market,  I think it better to make out time to DCA along the line and not just holding the coin for the long term since the market is full with an unexpected incidence that can hold any coin down for a while.

I will look more into this coin once again because I haven't really given Solana a thought but now that the project is becoming more popular and many of my friends already bought some,  I may give it a short-term shout to see what I can come out with from the market.
948  Economy / Gambling / Re: Slot Educational on: December 21, 2023, 09:26:53 PM

Physical slots on physical casinos gives a entirely different and very good experience in playing slots, like that flashing lights, other people some are winning and creating funny environment, etc.
Digital casinos are not very fun to play, specially slots because only we can see graphics winning and losing with people chatting. which is like physical casinos but not very fun to play.
Live casinos are good because there we can see real people who is winning and chatting, etc.


Both the physical and the online crypto slots are both entertaining, we only make a choice base on our preference in what we want to have, gambling has the advantage is giving us priority of choice to varieties of selections, it's not a single way forward direction while getting entertained, but to the funny of it all, both online and physical slots were made available till date and we can have the option of choosing the best we feels like gambling through.

Well, I think there is always a difference and not all gamblers have that liberty of choosing whether to play on a physical or online casino. There are some cities on several parts of this world where you as a gambler will have to travel several miles before you find a physical casino where they have slot machines installed.

Like where I currently live, I've been living here for 3 years now, which tells you I relocated to this place in the year 2020, from then till now, I've not come across a full fledged physical casino where gamblers can play slot and other type of casino games physically, what we have plenty of them around here are betting agents, so to find a physical casino where I can play physical slot, I have to travel miles away, which to me makes no sense since I will be spending so much on transport fee, so, instead of spending such money and time with no guarantee of coming back with a good winning, I am forced or compelled to just keep playing on online casinos where I don't have to leave the comfort of my room.
Really I have not seen a physical casino that is closed Toy City and all that I have known is online casinos this is because the government laws in my country have not really been clear about gambling,  although gambling is not banned in my country, casinos business does not thrive so well here and just a few of them are in experience and most of them have no physical casino house and evtheireir have,  you need to travel several miles to see such physical casino house but I know of some other countries where gambling is very popular and its activities have advanced a lot and that have lead to so many development and establishment of physical casino houses and this have helped many gamblers to have access to that physical casino.

But I know this will change as time goes on and we see more adoption of gambling just as the market has kept on growing tremendously we may see more physical establishments coming close to us.
949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 09:08:47 PM
This should be an easy victory for Real against Alaves , especially when h2h record is 9-1 for Real Madrid and I also expect them to win with at least 2 goals difference. There is also a possibility for a draw here but that should make Girona very happy and build more confidence inside that team.


If there is a draw for Real Madrid, it would be a great opportunity for Girona. Girona should have won the match with Real Betis, it was a very important match for the leadership. Real Madrid will not lose this match and will retain the leadership position minutes later. Girona has a tough opponent next week. Can we say that they have done well thus far? Or is this journey not over yet? Frankly, I'm very curious.
Considering Real Madrid's current position and results in it is clear that the next couple of matches must be won at all costs because Real Madrid has been behind for too long in this season and at that they can't afford to hold on for long going forward and the Girona vs Real Madrid must be a win for Real Madrid regardless of what the situation is with Girona because they also need to win at all cost but Real Madrid is more position for a win in the match because of the available hands in the club and the team are more formed than Girona for now and that alone is big enough for them to strike a win sure and straight in the match.
950  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What altcoins do you think are currently still cheap but have good potential for on: December 21, 2023, 07:51:52 PM
I want to ask everyone, now the number of altcoins is increasing and the prices are various, do you know, in your opinion, what altcoins are still cheap now but have good potential for the future?
 I want to hear an explanation from you.
For some obvious reason,  we can't point to any of the altcoins that are relatively down in price that have the potential to recover at some point,  this is because,  the altcoin market is highly unpredictable and many of those coins have already been dumped I'm their market to the extent that it becomes almost impossible for them to recover no matter what potential their carry,  so it becomes clear that it better to stay clear from this coins and look out for more sustainable coins who have not fallen in their price before.

Sometimes,  those coins who dumped drastically will never recover again shortly so for that it projects or potentials become questioned.
951  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are you actually using/buying NFT's, and Gaming Tokens? on: December 21, 2023, 07:43:39 PM
Since its introduction, I believe that NFT will become a trend in the future.  How is the performance of the NFT system that makes each object will have its "uniqueness of each"?  I think in the future NFT will be more than just a digital asset in the form of photos ( CMIIW ).  Maybe in the future NFT will become the standard for something that requires security not to be duplicated like concert tickets or ownership rights to an item.  I look forward to the bright future of all ongoing NFT projects.
NFT is not just a trend for the future,  but also at the moment,  NFT is already making the wave for itself and for sure many people have followed the trend and have invested in the NFT market,  also much more so but for me,  I haven't really consider them as a viable investment choice as many of them already failed in market value and investors already recorded massive loses from those investment.

NFT just like every other hype that we have experienced in the market is just another avenue for fake teams to play games on gullible investors,  I am not saying that NFTs are generally scams we have some good of them,  but before you find those good ones,  you may have to stumble on multiple scams ones.

At least you should have used the forum search to see if this topic has been discussed before,  and more also you are sharing news that dates back as far as February 2022 which is along time ago,  best you lock this thread at once to avoid complicating this discussion since we already have an on going topic dedicated to this discussion.

But on the Issue with Nigeria's Bitcoin adoptions,  it's so far from now and to a good extent we can roll with things the way they are currently since the government did not outrightly ban Bitcoin in its entirety.
953  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Glo and it's network wahala on: December 21, 2023, 06:29:39 PM
my country pipo abeg I no just understand this Glo network again almost all the time them go just disappoint you even when you get enough unused data since two days now I no fit use my Glo sim way I just sub data for no be say after now wen the network come alive sef them no go even compensate us for all the troubles way we pass through these few days sef o, Omo Glo is really frustrating I no know if na only me they experience am na why I bring the matter hear make we deliberate on am because e no really gel at all make them improve their standard this na one of the major reason people believe Mtn pass them no be say Mtn no dey get network issue o but e no dey come constantly like Glo, Glo should invest heavily on mast all over the country like Mtn if them one compete with them
Best network for me is Airtel because over the time,  I have taken the time to try all the network in Nigeria in terms of internet services and how fast their are in their browsing speed. After all, many times this is what most forum members from this part of the world are experiencing in terms of internet service providers.

Aside from the Airtel, I suggested you can have MTN as a backup sim for your browsing also and these two are top on the list.

List of best mobile network
Good network
1: Airtel
2: MTN

Bad network
1: GLO
2: Etisalat

Among the worst,  Etisalat still comes worst of the worst,  you can try them in my area and many other places,  Glo may be regionally different because I can still remember when I was an undergraduate Glo was the best in that region so we can't write them off.
954  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: December 21, 2023, 06:12:47 PM
Quit lot of local casinos in my region have been caught up in such cases,  some to the extent that the player dragged the casino to court but at the end of the day the player still did not get justice,  but just know that the casino is already known as scam casino since the void players bet or refusing to pay players for the winning and blaming it on error from either the odds calculators or providers error.

This has made such casinos avoided by many players who already have information about such standing cases against them and will do whatever it takes to avoid becoming one of such victims of their possible act.
The position of illegal platform casinos is a bit difficult to sue in court because there are no regulations from the government for permits to operate a casino, especially in countries with a Muslim majority, it is certainly difficult to obtain a casino operating permit. I think it wastes too much energy, time and money when taking a casino platform that does not have an operating license from the government to court, it is very clear that the court will openly reject it because casino platforms are not legal and have no legal basis in that country.

I dislike with local casino platform because in my country there are casino platform is not allowed and restrict by government, although have many kinds of casino platform operation but I dislike yet for joining and they have many influencer for promoting their casino site.
Yeah it a bit difficult to get justice for any wrong done by unlicensed casssino and worst still if gambling is ban in such region where the gambler is located,  and even more so that winning a case against a casino very difficult in general,  it made it more hard for an offence to get the right justice in the long run,  because I have seen a number of such cases against casinos that are taken to court not getting justice at the end sometimes due to corruption and the casino already knowing they way around to deny the gambler justice since they are already used to such act and as a scam casino the will definitely be ready to fight a legal war that is if you can ever get them to court.

The best thing to do is to always play safe on these casinos and by so doing,  you should only gamble on reputable casinos and also make sure to pass through the casino KYC process on time even before you are asked to do so,  because by so doing,  you are putting things in place to avoid future complications such as in this case with the ops,  I am sure that the casino may have mentioned their KYC requirements in their terms of service but the gambler failed to actually read through them to be clear on what faces them at the end.
955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beginner needs your advices in gambling. on: December 21, 2023, 06:01:51 PM
Everybody has a story to tell when it comes to gambling because it has had a way to affect or increase our financial status in one way or the other.Every beginner who wants to begin their gambling journey must know some good things and some bad things about gambling,in that way,they won't suffer loss the way most People suffered,that is why it is always good to follow topics that is related to gambling to know when to gamble and when not to.
Really those who have their status increase through gambling should be seen as the most luckiest among all because many at times the outcome of gambling have always been loses and less in status of the gamblers,  and if the gambler is not smart enough to take a break when he hit the jackpot eventually,  he may still lose it back to the house, having the awareness that loses are unbeatable it becomes very important at that point to stick to what you can bear as a gambler and never go into it too much more than you can afford to bear it anything happened.

Quote
A beginner should always know that gambling is risky,and when putting your money into it,you must be able to make up your mind that the money might return or might not return,there is no guarantee of a steady income because the game is all about you losing or gaining.
Exactly because the risk in gambling is higher than it rewards and that is the reason why we always advise forks to only take gambling as just for fun and nothing more to that,  many times,  some newbies have failed to understand the risk factors of gambling and at such tend to mistake it as a means to get rich quick at some point.

That is why you hear statements such as gambling to make money or gambling to win money to sort family bills,  all that is a waste of time and can easily lead to frustration in the long run.
956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: December 21, 2023, 04:59:00 PM
I mean obviously it could if you are not careful with what you are talking about. That doesn't mean that it will, it just means that you could be getting to a serious point where it may not be all that easy. I think it should be pointed out that we are talking about relationships in one big brush but normally that is not the case and should be very important to note that down.

I personally believe that we should not be really doing anything that is generalizing every single relationship that way. While it may hurt some relationships, it may enhance some others, there must be some couples out there who gamble together, and having fun with it as well, whereas in some others people break up or even divorce because of gambling. Both of those cases must be true somewhere out there in the world, which means that both sides of the relationship should be aware what kind of person the other one is and act accordingly if they want to keep the relationship going.
We have recorded a lot of stray relationships due to gambling habits and characters this is because you find out that a partner is a chronic gambler and already hucked messed up addiction,  this could become an unmanageable situation and the only way out could be to let the relationship go as long as you as yourself won't end in the same mess or become homeless

For sure we also have a few relationships that could cope with a gambling partner and for sure in some cases,  gambling could become a such of entertainment for them and if that is the case,  it then relies more on individual differences as you said,  what this person may not take,  the other person may take it and manage around it.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard Rock to Hire 400 People Ahead of Rockford Casino Opening on: December 21, 2023, 04:48:24 PM
What do you think? Would you like to register?
If you enjoy gambling and don't have a steady employment, this is a good place for you. or perhaps you currently hold a job, but consider this Hard Rock opportunity.
With manager pay of over $70,000 and supervisor wages of over $50,000 annually, the compensation package is very alluring. and a starting wage of $18 per hour for certain other positions.

Of course, they are not going to offer that salary without the needed requirement for them to work in a big company like Hardrock the $70k salary is for those who have extensive experience as a manager and supervisor in physical casinos, it is a good move for Hardrock they are a popular brand in the entertainment industry so people will easily trust a company like HardRock.
This is one of the good things about opening a physical casino, many jobs are going to be available and many new industries will link up like the music and restaurant industries, they can open a space within the area, and physical casinos generate jobs and strengthen tourism.
Also I have seen one or two other of their branches which show that Hardrock os already and established company with multiple branch so for sure their will be able to offer such salaries for they employers and this is a good one for those who are leaving within the area where the establishment is located will have the opportunity to take part in this employment opportunities,  much more other businesses will spring up around that same location,  indeed this could become a big development in that region considering the size of the establishment.

Much also that they offers competitive salary and hourly salary that rang from $18 so minimum wage rewards according to I read.
958  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Craze for Meme coins never ends? on: December 20, 2023, 11:58:26 PM
How can we prove this story as anyone can easily make that story up,  but sure many coins can give you tremendous profits in the short term and that is why they are taken as gambling and nothing more than that,  and some of them are just planned pump and dump tokens at some point and if the investors are not smart enough he may lose out on the wave of the project and also ensure loses.

So now it will only be based on proven and verified means to take most of such stories as what they seem to be because even though the possibility is there,  it is still crazy to be able to achieve such profits without high calculations on when to take your profits out of the coins before it got trapped.
959  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best piece of advice to anyone going into bitcoin on: December 20, 2023, 11:29:12 PM
Buy a little bit of bitcoin every week don't care if it's a $1, $5, $10, $100, figure out what you can afford every week and buy it, get rid of unnecessary expenses or whatever you can think of getting rid of and spend it on bitcoin
5 to 10 years if you buy some every week you will be a multi millionaire
The amount you accumulate at some point is subject to your total inflow cash since that will be your purchasing power and there be need to follow up with things based on the availability of that resource in four position,  so what seems to be a big investment amount to one can still be considered to be a low investment to the other, but then applying DCA approach and having a steady accumulation process will help you to accumulate a good number of Satoshi along the line no matter what the condition of the market could be and how much you set aside to put into it as a straight one-time buying off Bitcoin.

Most of the times,  consistency in buying is what matters most and how much time you are ready to wait or keep accumulating is what also make more sense and help increase your total amount in holding on the long run so for such it is very important to stick to the rule which is to buy more are every opportunities and interval with long term in mind.
960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 20, 2023, 11:21:19 PM
The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.

What is your take on this?

  That's important because, as a gambler, you know the restrictions that an online casino has. Just in case you have a problem, you know if you have done something wrong or violated a gambling platform.

  That's why it becomes a problem for other gamblers that when they have a problem, they will complain in the end, and only then will they realize that the mistake or shortcoming is theirs because they did not read the TOS of the casino.
The need to read thenT&C of casino is very high demanding and as such it is important to take a clear look at them before you even try to create an account on those casinos most time, the majority of those that run into one problem or the other does so at there own disobedience on none compliance with the rules that are set by the casinos as regards to in included in the terms of there services.

Laziness have made many of us to lose money before and for that, we have to learn from those mistakes and avoid making such against in the future.
