21  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: May 01, 2024, 06:23:56 PM
I will never make a suggestion to a gambler to gambles when he is financially incapacitated, because even if he manage to look for little amount and use for gambling, there is no hope or certainty for him to win, so I don't see the essence why he should not rather uses the money and feed himself or for other purpose and wait till he is being able to afford having enough to be used for gambling purpose, we shouldn't forces ourselves to gambling, it has to be done under free and convenient atmosphere suitable for us and not for us to gamble and leave other things to be done undone and we are also affected.

There are usually underlying issues with gamblers, and the gambling casinos simply offer a way out of their troubles.

It's a temporary fix to a more long term issue. And the thing is that gambling can of course make these initial troubles even larger.

The key thing is to remember to keep things under control, because you might end up in a worse position trying to fix your issues.

It is similar with any other addiction, like alcohol for example.
I was looking out for the temporal solution provided by the gambling platform as you’ve referred but, you apparently didn’t suggest any. I don’t think any gambling platform would suggest anything aside from its T&C. It’s T&C like,

Not having to play repeated games,
a legal registration age grade and
Possibly, having minimum and maximum stakes per game

Is where they often draw the line and at times, it helps gamblers. Especially those who gamble large amounts but, these are gamblers who don’t really care much about the losses.

For most, you just ensure your not gambling above your limits and not always.

As you have said, the casinos will not be found responsible for the way we gambles or all the challenges we face at the cause, all they are after is on our strict compliance on their terms and conditions, they are there to make their money and could encourage any means to see that gamblers are involved in the use of their platform all the time, regardless of how it may have cost them, gamblers are the ones that should be responsible for themselves on how they gambles, plan ahead for themselves and also make the right decision of what is good for them.
23  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get discouraged by the current price of Bitcoin on: May 01, 2024, 04:55:21 PM
I think people shouldn't get discourage by that, though I didn't experience other halvings cause I had zero knowledge about Bitcoin then but i think something similar have occurred before in one of the previous halving where Bitcoin price didn't go up as expected but later traced back and went up after some period, a lot of people might begin to panic and sell their coins but I still see this an opportunity to buy more Bitcoin and for those who are not opportuned to do so, holding is the best option, please correct me if you think am wrong  

Getting discouraged? only the newbies just joining may have a second thoughts about bitcoin market price, we have been into this for a while now, last year when Bitcoin go dip as far as $16,000 and people never loose hope, this is just a mere warming up, to create an avenue for those interested on making an investment, they could rather see this as an entry point for them to invest and wait till the same opportunity lands for more bull, what we are seeing is only preparing us for the expectations ahead, the earlier the better we understand that all we need is to hold now.
24  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Workers Salary Increases, Inflation at Upper Edge on: May 01, 2024, 11:58:00 AM
Today which is the first day in May to mark the annual celebration of the Workers Day in Nigeria, the president offers to increase the workers salary to all the government employer citizens in the event to mark the workers day celebration.

Quote
The Federal Government on Tuesday approved 25% and 35% salary increase for civil servants across various consolidated salary structures. https://punchng.com/fg-approves-salary-raise-for-civil-servants/

If we are to go into a quick recap on the current economic situations of the country as at today, we have the following facts to deduce out.

1. Scarcity of fuel and inflation on the current price to about #1,000 to #1,200 base on location.
2. Incessant increase on market price for products and commodities.

All these are pointing at the instability of the current state of the country economy as inflation has become the order of the day.

A. Do you think the increase in salary structure of all government workers will not lead to more higher inflation level than we already had.

B.. If inflation should persist and we have low GDP from the previous record, we should then expect naira devaluation against dollar the more, some were already speculating $1=#2,000 soon.

26  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making the Most of $100 bankroll on: April 30, 2024, 05:54:12 PM
I have a friend who is new to sports betting and he asks -
If his bankroll is $100 and he has been told not to use more than 5% of his bankroll per bet, what strategy should he use on this type of bankroll? His question is should he place $5 each on 20 different bets? Or is there a better approach that can be suggested?

The only information we are having about this guy is on how he was able to manage to have a bankroll deposit of $100 but we are not sure of how stable his financial source can be, maybe if he can often generate or manage to have more within a particular time space or not, so this is more of the gambler being able to understand himself, plan his gambling budget after considering his financial income level and what he could afford to have or use as bankroll
27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: April 30, 2024, 05:04:09 PM
If someone is found under this category of gambling addiction, such gambler will not only losses money, their integrity and future ambition may be at stake because they may obviously mismanaged funds with them for gambling purpose leaving other aspect of their life unplanned for against the future, people around them could hardly get tier attention or enjoy any emotional or financial benefits from them because they are being addicted.
28  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do increased Bitcoin fees benefit anyone else except miners? on: April 30, 2024, 04:29:57 PM
My question is who do these high fees benefit?

Miners and nothing more, they are the direct beneficiary of the increasing nature of the transaction fee, but we must not forget that this experience too is not a long time effect, it only happened occasionally and there are times the same miners looses as they sometimes receives half the reward of their mining when the hash rate is fluctuated on the other side effect, aside the transaction fee charges they receives, base on how congested the network is.
29  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Samurai Wallet co-founder pleaded not guilty, released on $1m bond on: April 30, 2024, 02:00:29 PM
The condition of his bail include:
(1) prevented from engaging in “any cryptocurrency transactions, directly or indirectly,” without prior approval from the court.
(2) travel restricted to parts of New York and Pennsylvania when not confined to his home.

Do we actually think this are going to remain as it has been said or not.

The first condition of his bail seems insane, he is restricted from engaging in any cryptocurrency transactions, even indirectly. The US government will be like a hawk at the moment keeping an eye on his cryptocurrency assets.

What if someone else close to him have access to is account or wallet and can initiate any form of transaction on his behalf and then no one knows.

It's a sad day, the US is not a safe place for cryptocurrency holders.

Am not supporting his act neither against it to an extent, but this is the advise i have, if you're into crypto, then try as much as possible to find yourself being located in a country that permits for free zone crypto, where you will have no government related challenges and regulations concerning your crypto.
30  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you achieved anything from gambling on: April 29, 2024, 05:05:07 PM
If we cannot point to anything tangible that we have achieved from gambling, we should also realized that having fun is something we can point at as an achievement in gambling, because we are subscribing in with our money on gambling platform games and services, we enjoy playing games, have fun and uses their platform in doing all these while some of us were even privileged to earn through that same means while gambling, which all should be as well accounted under gambling achievements.
31  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Wins: Your Money Was Returned to You. on: April 29, 2024, 04:09:17 PM
There have been saying that before you win a game in gambling, you would have lost enough funds and that means you didn't win any new or extra money to yourself but the casino return part of your money which you have lost before to you.

Its only when we are more being focused on winning and earning through the money we see from gambling, we shouldn't for any reason think of gambling as a means of income, never should we grow with the mentality of the money we are using to gamble will one day be returned to us once we win a jackpot, this is a wrong mentality, we should be gambling for fun, forget about the money spent on it, the losses made or the potential future earnings we are having targets on, we may never realized recovering back our money, while we must have lost much more than expected except we clear our minds not to chase after loose.

Since you have been reporting spam post and scammers on the forum for a long time, this shouldn't be something hard for you to be able to take as a responsibility, which i believe that you will help in making the sanity of the local board more than better than ever before, there i s not doubt about it that we are having some already who are posting in off topics, spam posts and scam and the one also annoying are the category of those using AI to make posts, all this will be properly maintained and controlled, wish you all the best.
33  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Nigeria today on: April 29, 2024, 02:16:26 PM
I could remember my mom telling me that during the military government the cost of living was not so expensive and if the prices increases the military will go into the market to caution them for making such increase. Now Nigeria is turning to a country where the price of goods increases on a daily basis and we all blame it on the government while the government has not to do with it. The system is now hard for the poor masses to feed their families. Now garri is now 1,200 naira per rubber tell me how do you want the poor to feed their families.

Each regime has its own economic demands and the expectancies for standard of living, this inflation we are seeing is not a thing of today, it has always been happening right before there was civilization, what i expect from the people is not to complain of bad economy, but being able to meet up with the standard of the economy regardless of the situation, do you believe that even in those days, many were still there found lamenting of how things have been expective and unaffordable by them.
34  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction causes loss on: April 27, 2024, 05:34:49 PM
Anything that has to do with addiction will come with a penalty of losses because it will always happened at the detriments of the user involved, am not seing any personal benefit involved in gambling addiction for any reason, I don't even know if aside losses, there are still other major disadvantages of being a gambling addicts, which causes some side effects on the gambler involved, and I don't think there is any benefit attached as well to any addicted gambler, things are better done well with gambling if the gambler involved is not addicted.
35  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you won a bet with your last cash? on: April 27, 2024, 04:48:44 PM
I don't know if this is that common to experience with gamblers that they earn and win a bet with their last penny, this is full of risk because we are talking about the last money on you as a gambler, how possible is it for me to even use my last cash to gamble, knowing that it's more likely to loose than to win in gambling, well, I can't apply my own decision and taste as the same thing being applicable on others, but when we look in at the and the circumstances that surrounded it, we will see and come out with a conclusion of not being a good idea to do.

37  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why is United States going against custodial lightning wallets? on: April 27, 2024, 03:25:39 PM
Some weeks back or probably some months back, wallet of Satoshi was removed from Google Playstore and App store for United States citizens not to be able to access it. No reason stated.

It is now Phoenix wallet which is one of the best custodial lightning wallets for bitcoin. No reason also stated for removing the lightning wallet from the Google Playstore and App store for United States citizens not to be able to access it.

I guess these lightning wallets are targeted one after the other but we do not know the reason. Is it because Chainanalysis were unable to trace the lightning transactions or the wallet developers are not cooperating with the United States to make lightning transactions on their channels less private?

This isn't their first attempt on Bitcoin network to see that every other elements attached to it have been crippled before the main launch of attack on the bitcoin itself, since they cannot achieve regulating the network, all they feels like doing are these, whereas I expect them to be the highest users to keep encouraging others to continue with the use and adoption of bitcoin globally, we shouldn't care much about them or the raging attacks they are mounting because everything will soon fade as it doesn't work effectively on a decentralized network.
38  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: While placing bet what comes your mind on: April 26, 2024, 04:18:29 PM
The first thing on my mind is the possibility for winning or loosing the bet, this is the first thing i use to have in mind, the amount to use and how am being able to afford the use of such amount for gambling base on my conviction, i also though of wining or loosing and all that comes my mind henceforth is the chances for loosing because i already knew that is what is common with every gambler gambling, but when i have a different result and win, it turns a surprised for me.
39  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: April 26, 2024, 03:14:57 PM
1. At what age will you allow your child to start gambling? that is if you will even allow for that at all?
Actually, I won't allow my child to gamble, that's because I'm afraid of the negative impact it will have on my child's life. Like addiction and wasting money just to gamble, it will ruin his life. But if my child wants to try gambling, maybe I will allow it when he is 21 years old because I think this is the ideal age. And I will help my child to control himself in gambling so that he doesn't become addicted.
2. At what age do you see yourself quit gambling? that is also if some of us are going to ever do so?
I currently cannot stop gambling completely. I still gamble sometimes but not very often, and only with some of my money. This is better than before, I used to be addicted to gambling and it ruined my life.
3. Ever since you have started gambling, have you ever achieve a satisfying level that makes you think it has good impact on you?
When I became addicted to gambling I never felt satisfied. I always want to try it and double the profits. I once won a large amount in gambling, and I could buy whatever I wanted. At that time I thought gambling had a good impact on me, but when I tried to gamble again to get more profits, it turned out I was wrong and I slowly experienced losses.

I got your entire idea on this, which i could as interpreted as this, there are things we cannot do without, even though they cost us, we don't mind as long as gambling is one of those things that we found pleasure in doing, but we may try to restrict our children from it because they may get the whole idea wrong and misbehave at the cause, gambling is what we have to understand right before starting, because there are things we have to bear in mind concerning it as well as things to avoid, the kind of mistakes we made, we may not allow our own children to follow after same by doing the wrong things except they are completely independent on their own.

When it comes to issues related to paying taxes, some people don't admit for that because the whole process adopted on how it was been utilized seems to be unjust by many, they see the government as a category of people who will levied payments on individuals and deliver nothing back to them in return, despite we have not even consider on the rate on how the government charges on individuals for tax payment.
