Thanks _act_ for bringing updates on these regards as to open peoples eye to what is at stake in what they are doing, here are the lessons ive learnt from this whole drama.

1. Don't choose to believe everything you see online on the social media about crypto, the guy must have been flaunting his account showing the public on how he has been making profits trading and still shows then the evidence form his device, that he is into money now, without us knowing that everything is fake just to impress their followers and get more traffic to their contents and page.

2. Some are there tracking them without knowing, they thought he is actually into fame and knows much about crypto trades, whereas in real life things were directly opposite, what a shame, that it will be so disappointing when we discover that some of the so called influencers we follow on social media were leaving a fake life.

At least they just conquered their first doubt and fear investing in bitcoin,   just as from how they have been seeing others embracing it and using bitcoin to acquire the necessary financial changes they wanted, lets hope to see more of these organizations coming to the light of what bitcoin is and taking advantage to invest and buy more, we are getting more closer to mainstream, whereby to make a transaction or have your investment asset must involve bitcoin.

If we had been sensitive enough before time, then the signal for addiction would have set in while we remain insensitive about it until everything goes beyond handling, I don call for gamblers to have a their gambling lifestyle reviewed by others, in other to know their activities progress and receive the necessary supports needed, before some of these behaviors turns into addiction.

There are things we need to put into consideration in other for us not to be bias to some certain extent, quite alright we can't judge a player by his way of performance at a glance without having it done in a more consistent manner.

Another thing we should look t is from the way a player can change and how fast they can improve as well in their performance, because people's decisions and performance cannot be the same over time, as some change to improve on their abilities very well, the same time we need time to see how consistent they have shown on this achievement on them.

It possible, it is more better topping it above 50% because bitcoin is a profitable asset and when invested, you can't regret having bitcoin as your preferred asset of investment, then we may as well consider other assets but in little percentage compared to Bitcoin, over time now, it has been observed that bitcoin is a profitable asset for an investment, which many are getting into the realization of this fact, that is why you should have Bitcoin as the first consideration and be able to hold this asset.

Here are some of the reasons why some newbies may easily lose interest on bitcointalk.

1. Not all of them could adapt and abide by the forum rules and regulations.

2. Some couldn't withhold from scam related activities while being here.

3. This forum is well moderated unlike other social media

4. They have to learn and follow the normal expected standards for postings.

5. Some newbies can't afford not to plagiarize or use AI, these are many other reasons makes some not to stay, while many already finds them suitable enough to abide and adhere to.

Success stories are rare to find because it's more common to lose in gambling than to win and the little that won doesn't make it to big win they could share their story behind the success, having this understanding alone will enable every gambler to know what they should expect the more as they are into gambling, despite ball these information, there you will still be seeing some running after gambling fortune to make their own story.

If you're playing games, you're not yet a gambler, because you're only being entertained by the activities from a game provider to suit your pleasure time, as no money is involved for you to bet over one thing against the other, but once your game involves the use of money, then it turned gambling because monkey money in this regard has been used for stake.

If we couldn't achieve to get all time high anytime form now, then we should be getting ready for the market to make a correction at $95,000 or something below $100,000 this month, there is more to deduce from this, as it can comes in any dimension and traders have to spend more time speculating on the chart in other to know what to expect from its sentiment, because at the end, everything is to make profitable trading when we get it all right.

One thing i know is that Michael Saylor through his speech cannot influence the market for anything, also regarding the market price, we still cannot predict bitcoin performance 100% because it could take on any shape at any time, but as i have always said, we should expect the best and get prepared for the worst, this will make us to always stand the chance of not being in lose, irrespective of the market decision, because its always a volatile currency.

Thanks for the additional information on this, we have gamblers of different kinds and i don't think someone like him who have already achieve making this much on wagering requirement for a particular VIP status must be the type that has a steady cashflow, maybe a celeb or business class gambler, who don't find it difficult to gamble with any amount of money they may be willing to use on bets, i wish i could have an idea on his bet history to know his highest win or loss 

Lets assume if what SK to OP means the gambling platform Stake.com, what about the 108 million dollar in question, was the amount the total amount of money wagered for gambling or the amount of money used at a glance to gamble in other to achieve the diamond rank on the platform, lastly, there is also something dot get clear about this, which is the benefit one stand to enjoy being in any diamond VIP level.

Of the three analysis, try to understand them very well and know how to trade, speculate the market and get the basics of how to be a trader, because this will help you well when you're bale to combine them all in making your research about the market performance and what to expect, because it will get to a certain stage, whereby we must only have to consider on all other analysis to be able to arrived at something meaningful concerning the market.

I used to advise on several occasion that we don't mixed things up, choosing between whom you want to become is very important, because you cant claimed to be knowledgeable about what is required and still do the wrong thing to expect maximum result, this is very simple to understand, trading is another context entirely, which we should know that a trader is a short time holder, exchanges from one currency pair to another with the aim of making money.

This is obviously a different situation when it comes to being an investor, because you will find your self a holder and not a trader here in this situation, you can always acquire your asset into your portfolio by many strategies, which you choose between the best one you could adopt for your accumulation as an investor, all these will have to start form you defining between what you want to become, a trader or an investor, then how equipped and ready are you to deliver from that aspect that inspires you, before making your final decision.

I wonder what OP was having in mind when he created this title, because you cant expect me to acted in a strange manner when a nut from my head is not loosed, why should i win a bet and then went ahead to be a philanthropist with my earnings, when i know the number of years I've been struggling to manage to win something reasonable, if some says am greedy, then i want to be the most greedy type, because i cant spend my money for fun and squandered everything.

This kind of bet is not too risky to play base on what i can see from his slip, the amount stated to be the stake is not that much in relation to USD because this is in the Nigerian Naira, then the odds as well is pretty much considering the amount used for stake, 25 odds is fine and the amount to win also is attractive to complement the risk taken for the bet, just that not many gamblers can afford to use the said amount to gamble, because of the risk of loosing it all.

Let's not be quick to judgement because this can be a challenge from anyone else, though it's not an excuse for any parent to take their children to a gambling station, some people we're actually living in hardships and can't afford to earn a living, but have seen gambling a what makes them not to consider their living standard and conditions, which I see as not a bad idea, seing women gamble, except for the children taken there.

Desist from taking a risk of you can't afford it, some risk are too much for us to take, most especially when we compare the benefits and the conditions attached, we may see them as a long term threat on us to go for what we can't afford to lose, there is no big risk or small one, risk are the same, it's either we took them or we let go of them, after we must have weighed the conditions attached.
