1  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: Today at 02:41:22 AM
Definitely and this is why this kind of feature is somewhat not that needed and this is why majority of platforms arent really putting or something this one isnt really that available but just like been said that it might be absent but you could actually be able to make out some kind of request from the team or admin itself about exclusion but of course you wont really be needing it as if you do really tend to stop completely then you could really actually be able to do it on your own without having those kind of assistance on which we know that this is something that not that relevant.
If you do want to quit then you would quit but if not then you would really be keeps on coming back as long your mind is really that fixated towards gambling then there's no way
that you would really be stopping.

Think like a warrior and that you want to beat the casino, so would you ask them for them, that's kinda insulting. It's just me though, I feel like I'm not a real man if a casino offers me to self exclude because they feel I am addicted to gambling, no... what I would do, I have money to gamble, if I lose everything I just say I'll give you and you win, that's how a man think and when gambling, we need to be a man.

Self exclude is fine, but like I mentioned, we don't need them if we are a man.

I agree with @robelneo. I think all casino who run their signature campaign in the forum should not forget to have a review campaign. Because without review campaign, participants will be able to give their honest review based on their experience. With an experience campaign manager, your company will be able to run a successful review campaign.

But the signature campaign was stopped, do you have plan on relaunching it in the future?

Thanks for echoing this they have an experienced manager who will lead their project to a new height, especially for a new concept like Bitwinup, we'll know more about the development of this platform and their long-term plans in the coming weeks but right now they have no competition on this concept, this is what I know so its more on the marketing side for people to know more about this concept.

Half a billion dollars paid already in the casino, that pretty showed they have the budget for marketing, probably they are just evaluating things up and don't want to spend money without an expected return. Well, this forum( bitcointalk) is one of the best venue for crypto marketing and I'm sure they'll reach that $1 billion as they attract more players from here.
3  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Invest To Learning First on: May 02, 2024, 11:45:41 PM
This should be the first part of learning process for every beginners because trading is not that easy and you can be more emotional if you are going to trade with a few knowledge in your mind. Learning trading is not easy as well as it will always take time and courage to learn how to trade properly, if you skip this part for sure you will fail in trading and you might start at first again so better to learn this and take it seriously because its really important especially learning how to control your emotions.
Learning should always be the starting goal as much as it could also be an end goal. Why? Because no one will ever succeed without acquiring crucial information at first, but will certainly end up with huge mistake and losses in the long run. This is the reason why we don’t have to take shortcuts in order to quickly achieve our goal because that won’t never be possible. There’s always a time for learning and internalizing all that we have learned, before trying to put them all into action.
4  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will BTC go back to $40K - $30K range before a bigger rally? on: May 02, 2024, 10:36:42 PM
Currently bitcoin price got many correction but price keep stable above $60k in this week, I think little difficult for dropping around $40k to $30k or get drop almost 50% for bitcoin with currently price. Halving have been over and many investor although not really excited for holding their bitcoin before halving time I think bitcoin will not drop drastically, usually bitcoin has good moment one or two months later after halving will get recovery to higher price.
I doubt with this possibility bitcoin will drop around 40% to 50% based on OP speculation, bitcoin holder still strong indeed get many bad news every day and many investor try to buy back during good moment after bitcoin get down few percent. Optimist with bitcoin will bounce again to higher price and reach back to $70k or possibility make new ATH in near future.
I have also this feeling that bitcoin will not reach again the range of $40k or  below. Although the price correction won’t stop here, but most likely it will be at $50k range and then rise up again to $60k until it slowly move upward and touch $70k again. This is not new anymore especially that we are now at post halving, price may drop drastically but eventually it will recover afterwards. As long as we don’t end up with panic selling, then we aren’t still at loss. Patience will be highly tested these days so let’s be tough and strong during these days.
5  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get discouraged by the current price of Bitcoin on: May 02, 2024, 09:59:03 PM
Actually I think a lot of people get discouraged because of the current price of bitcoin. But that's not enough reason for you to get discouraged,   considering the current situation  of bitcoin yet no coin was able to overtake bitcoin, that is why bitcoin happens to be the most reliable and profiting coin in terms of investment. However I can never get discouraged no matter how the price is, I will just stick to it, reason been that I know pretty well that the future is bright, is only those people who does not understand the market very well that will get discouraged.
Not all bitcoin investors can manage their emotions when they are seeing their investments are dropping its value. And even if we are seeing them selling their coins, still they have the right to do it because it’s their money in the first place. However, if you are one of them, know that this is the best time to sell but most probably the best time to buy more bitcoin. If you are here for long term holding, then focus on it and don’t be bothered with how price correction gets worst in the market.
6  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Beginning an adventure to learn about Bitcoin on: May 02, 2024, 09:28:25 PM
My advice is to take one at a time. Focus on what you need most. First, start with their basic knowledge, and as time goes on, you can expand your knowledge by learning more about any other currency you want to learn about. Trying to learn everything at once might keep you in a very complex state.
 
Bitcoin is not gender-specific; anyone who wants to learn and acquire knowledge is free to do so. Both genders are doing really great, and Bitcoin even expands the idea to others, but not everyone presents themselves the way they are. People who you might think are of the other gender might end up being of the other gender.

Be it male or female, if your mind is open and made up to learn about bitcoin, you can learn and acquire the knowledge to whatever length you want; there is no gender limitation in it.

When it comes to learning, I always think one is not supposed to set limits into it. But make sure know your priorities first. If you aim to be highly knowledgeable with bitcoin, then do your own diligence to learn. Be aware of its risks and rewards before you decide to finally invest. Once you’ve gained sufficient learning, then that’s the time to study with altcoins as well.

The crypto space is originally composed with bitcoin and altcoins, so make sure you get to know about it. And always know that the whole crypto space is offering opportunities to learn and earn to all genders, be it a man or woman, as long as you have the will and interest to keep on learning, then you’re perfectly fit in crypto.
7  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is there strategy to make profit daily future trade on: May 02, 2024, 08:35:39 PM
You can't rely on signals from a telegram group to make a profit every day, because it's the same as entrusting your money to someone else's hands, you don't know when that person's decision will be wrong and that will cause you to lose money. Moreover, as far as I understand, if it is a reliable signal, then usually they will not claim that they can provide complete profit certainty every day to their users. In fact, those who claim that their signals can provide profits every day are mostly scammers. So just be careful when you use these signals, because you could become one of the victims of the scammers.
You know, scammers never stop from hunting their victims because they are sure that there will always be weak traders who will definitely fall for their traps. If what OP is telling is true, then there’ll be most likely a lot of rich traders these days, but we all know it’s not happening because all trading signals coming from telegram or any group are obviously not reliable at all. And the fact that there’s no successful trader who gets to profit daily, most especially in a highly risky activity like futures trading.
8  Economy / Speculation / Re: Now is the best time to buy the dip and HODL on: May 01, 2024, 11:58:04 PM
Btc price has dip below 60k, and most investors who may be wondering when best to buy the dip I think now is the time to buy the dip. it may not dip below this anymore. I know it fell to $56k but I urge people to buy more now before it rise again.
There is no doubt that right now is a great moment to buy bitcoin, however I am sure that many of those that wanted for a dip to happen to buy some bitcoin are already scared and they do not want to take their chances, as they fear the price may go even lower, which is a shame as I think the lowest bitcoin could go is 49k, so buying at 57k is already very good, and anyone doing so most likely will obtain some nice profits during the upcoming months.
There’s actually no need to worry even if btc price drops even lower than today. Knowing you are doing this for long term investment, then at the end of the day, you will never be at loss unless you decide to panic sell at an obvious losing price.

Now is the best time to invest, but only for those who have available funds ready to invest, and not that you will borrow or take a loan so you can grab the opportunity while btc price is in dips. That’s even more risky to do.
9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't invest in Bitcoin because others are investing in Bitcoin on: May 01, 2024, 11:30:21 PM
...
We mostly have to make decisions based on our personal reasons, not due to the reasons of others. Even like investment decisions too. There are people who invested in bitcoins because others where investing, these people because of their lack of personal reason of investing turn out to be weak holders of bitcoins. When there is a personal reason for investing, you become a more dedicated holder who has something to remind themselves with whenever there is the temptation to sell off investment. A personal reason is self-motivating.
If you are a responsible investor, you will never be carried away by what others are investing but you focus yourself in looking for investments in which that are of high utility and profitability based on your own profound research. That way, it’s less likely to fall on wrong decision making and future losses since you have done your prior examination on the project that you wish to invest. Hence, you know you are investing in bitcoin since it’s the right thing to do.
10  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: May 01, 2024, 02:21:54 PM
Dude, I'm just stating reality. Why should we rely on a casino to control our addiction? It's not their job; their job is to entertain us, and we pay to play. This is very simple; it doesn't require a lot of explanation for a mature mind to understand the risks of gambling.

When you sign up at a casino, you are asked if you are 18+ and probably some casinos explain the risks. Once you "agree" to all the terms, that means you understand the rules and the risks of gambling. So, if you lose, the casino wouldn't tell you to stop because they think that, since you are mature enough and you understand the risks, they presume that you are gambling responsibly. However, the words "gambling responsibility" is not measured based on the amount of money you risk and lose as every gambler have different financial status in life.

Let's wake up, we are in a dangerous world. Yes, a casino may have a self-exclusion feature, but it still depends on how we will use it because, as mentioned, one can easily create an account at another casino to continue their gambling addiction.

In short, if you have a gambling addiction, don't expect the casino to help you. It's only you or the people who truly care for you who could help.

12  Economy / Economics / Re: It's better to invest now than to regret it in a hospital bed. on: May 01, 2024, 10:41:39 AM
Investment is something that everyone needs, because by having investments a person can get good profits which they can use in their old age. Investing is a good thing, because we don't know what conditions will be in the future, especially for older people, where as they get older, their health will become increasingly compromised and this will limit their ability to make money. At least having an investment can make someone calmer, because when there is something urgent or other important thing, they can use the investment to cover it.
There is no doubt that investment is a life saver after all. However, it’s also an important factor to choose wisely your investments and don’t just grab on everything that comes your way. Learn to be more cautious and extra careful when it comes to risking your funds. Not all investments are good and profitable, some are just here to scam us and lose everything we have.

Most importantly, learn to invest while you are highly able and capable to earn and save. Don’t wait for perfect investments to come, as there’s no such that exist. Everything comes with risk and we all need to be responsible to manage them well and overcome all those risks. Lucky are those who started early, but know that no one comes late in all investments, as long as you take the risk and courage to invest while you can.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If someone you introduced to BTC says the risks of her funds is on you on: April 30, 2024, 10:23:17 PM
I would respond by saying that since the risk is on me the profit should also be on me.
If they doesn't want to take risk they shouldn't also expect to gain profit.
I don't get why they would even try to invest if they don't know how it works, and they only see the profit and ignores the risk.
I doubt if she will agree to that, her money, her profits. The only problem is she’s obviously not ready and capable to invest, otherwise she won’t doubt herself if she’ll win or lose in an investment. However, if this case happens to me, I would be frank to her and tell her to delay her investment first, know her investment well and be aware on the risks as well. That is if she wants to succeed later on, so she should learn to follow.
14  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Need help trading. on: April 30, 2024, 09:51:19 PM
Please let me know what you think a beginner should know and where they can receive the knowledge that will help them become an expert, as well as how long it will take me to get the hang of the complete trading technique. Links are greatly appreciated.

If you are brand new then I would say before starting trading you should know trading well for few months and keep practicing trading. In particular, many platforms offer demo trading so you can practice them, or start trading with a very small amount, such as $10-$20, and keep practicing. To be honest, it is very difficult to get good at trading platform without long practice, one thing but many people don't realize that is why we often face big losses.
To be honest, one should not rush into trading without learning the basics first. Trading is more risky than mere investing, so if you jump into trading without acquiring knowledge and even doing some demo trading, expect that you will get doomed in your live trading and all your time and money will only go into waste. This is the reason why we should not trade unless we are ready and capable enough mentally and emotionally.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: April 28, 2024, 11:21:40 PM
Clippers - Mavericks match is very competitive. If the Clippers win this game, the series will be 2-2, but if the Mavs manage to win at home, they will bring the series to 3-1 and pretty much finish the job. This could be the breaking match of the series. That's why it's very normal for both teams to put their hearts into the field. The Clippers, who score with George and Harden while Kawhi is out, also receive contributions from Westbrook. In the Mavericks, Kyrie and Doncic score a lot, but the rest of the team shoots very poorly.

Clippers won the game and got a break in Dallas. Now its 2-2 and i think we might see all 7 games in the duel. Dallas was able to comeback in the match but in the end they couldnt win the match. Harden played an amazing finish of the game and probobly won the Clippers the match with some clutch points.

Huge comeback by Dallas but still fail in the end. That was a 31 point lead by the Clippers they gave up, that might have hunt them if they loss in that game. Now the series is tied, and it's all because of Kawhi Leonard, LOL.. he didn't play on the games the Clippers had won, game 1 and 4, so it's an important decision if coach Lue will play him in game 5 if he is available. I believe if the Cliippers wants to win, they should stick with the current line up, they don't need a less than 100% Leonard in the game. I know Dallas will make an adjustment in game 5, so homecourt is not anymore an advantage here as either team had won a road game in this 4 games that was concluded.
16  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sport Dictation Free trial !! on: April 28, 2024, 10:32:43 PM
Ah lol, I knew it - most of services like this are mostly run by troubled person.
They do this not because they are good and pro on sports but because they are also broke and need money to gamble.
If they always win, why bother to selling this service.

They don't need to gamble if they are making money from this offer. It's a risk free for them as when you subscribed you'll just pay for the fee and you get the information you want, question is, how reliable the information is. Nowadays, with the sportsbookes or odds makers uses more sophisticated tools to prevent this thing or any lapses that can be abuse by certain people, so it's quite doubltful if OP had really succeeded on this or it's just a false promise.

For sure all of the information they shared is questionable since if they can hit those accurate information that can help a gambler to win then provably that they will not share their methods used. Only those shady person claiming something outrageous and those people read this should start to doubt on the service they are trying to offer. More better for people to stop trying to look after those what they called expert prediction or anything they call that since usually the random person offering this are trying to take advantage those greedy bettors who want to win and they are perfect target to those scammers to scam. People should stop listening on false promises but rather they should do a research.

OP hasn't been active for a month now, this thread was just for announcement and he does not intend to answer all the querries here, that's a sign of a shady service. He claimed that they are in a live stadium and sees what's happening before the sportsbook could react, so why can't they just put a bet on their information so it will not be suspicious? When lots of people subscribed and they bet on the same time with the same pattern, sportsbook will look into it and I think they have this association or group to prevent gamblers from cheating the casino.
17  Economy / Gambling / Re: More revelations on the challenges of physical casinos on: April 28, 2024, 08:25:56 PM
I think the agent wanted to steal the entire money but due to the pressure from the court, he has to return part of it. I see this as a warning on the dangers of greedy agents in physical gambling platforms.

Source: https://twitter.com/General_Oluchi/status/1782027404027797716

There's probably a syndicate behind this and also an anomaly, if the court has seen all the pieces of evidence and the bettor proved that he is the real winner then all winnings should go to him, the proof of the burden should be on the gambling operator that the money was already withdrawn by someone else, the court is wrong here to find people who withdraw the money.

The head office should hold the branch operator liable for not paying the winner because they will lose the reputation of the company and the trust of the bettors.

This has never happened in my country because if it's a big amount the payor is the head office, the victim should pursue the case in the higher court and ask them to revoke the license of the branch and pay for the damages, there's injustice here, bettors should not bet on this shop and they should protest the shop, this could happen again to any of their bettors.


I can see the corruption here as even the authorities or the court made a decision in favor of the betting agent. As stated in the OP, the winner got the ticket, and that should be a valid basis that he had won a bet and had to claim the entire winning. If someone had already claim then the lapses should be blame on the agent and it should not compromise the winning of the real winner. Not sure what is the court structure in Nigeria, but if it's in my country, when you are not satisfied with the decision of the certain court, you can file a case again and elevate it to the higher court, and the winner has to make sure that he'll add to his claim all the incident cost like filing a case, lawyer's fee and etc, so he'll come up with zero expenses when he'll be able to claim his entire winning.
18  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: April 28, 2024, 02:43:16 PM
However, I don't this is going to work because and addict who can't control himself will definitely find a way to get more money.
It doesn't work like that, self exclusion is when you contact the casino to make your account off from gambling. It's not about when you lose money and you find a way to make money again to gamble, but when you get yourself self excluded in a casino, you can easily betray yourself because you'll just have to find a new gambling site that will cater you.

Money is not a problem for gamblers, unless broke. This self-exclusion actually is just like fooling ourselves because its real purpose is not realized, that's from my personal point of view.
You seem to be mixing things up here, and if a gambler is not addicted because of the fun, then it must be for the money, so the money is still the problem of the gamblers. Also, you might have misinterpreted what @khaled0111 said there and I think you guys are still saying the same thing after all in the rest. Self-exclusion is just a way to restrict oneself, but not a way to cure gambling addiction. Just like you said, if he self-excluded himself but moved to another casino platform to play, is the issue still not persisting? That is why he said he doesn't think it can work just like you as the gambler may still find more money (even if he followed the style of the main OP) to still continue to gamble.

These are good points and I am certain that since gambling-related issues are psychological, psychological approaches should be used to tackle them as well. Self-deprivation like exclusion and locking out funds may only limit but will never cure the issue.

The main point of my statement is that self-exclusion that is a feature of few casinos out there seemed to be like a negative feature as a gambler could just easily choose to gamble to other casinos once he lock his account and realized the urge is still there. Casinos should only offers more games, and more bonuses that will attract more gamblers and satisfy them, they should not think of any feature that is related or could prevent gambling addiction as their main business is to serve people hence it's already expected that once a gambler opted in, they already understand what responsible gambling is.

If a gambler gets addicted, it's not anymore the business of a casino since it should be taken cared of outside casinos. Remember that casino is a business, their main goal is to generate revenue and will only happen if they could retain loyal gamblers and attract new. Self exclusion is discouraging gamblers to gambler, that will hurt the casino's revenue.
19  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rollbit.com | Crypto's Most Rewarding Casino 👑 on: April 28, 2024, 12:49:53 PM
Sorry but I have to say that you are all wrong, define skill and you will understand that skill has nothing to do with sports betting, or sports betting has nothing to do with skill rather.

Think about this, the players who are playing the physical match are the ones who need to be highly skillful to win their games, not without luck on their side though.
For gambler who participate in sports betting, it's knowledge that they need, sports betting is a knowledge based game, as well as luck based as well.

So, let me say that we have three categories or type of gambling games, and those are...
1. Pure luck based - casino and slot games
2. Knowledge and luck based - sports betting
3. Skill and luck based - poker, blackjack, and some other card games.

So, your good knowledge of; and in sports, with the help of luck, is what increases ones chances of winning their bets on sports games, not skill.
You are saying stuff that make no sense at all. Knowledge and skill are literally the same thing. The players skills that you mentioned are physical skills while sports betting skills are considered mental skills.

Being highly skilled mentally helps in games like sportsbetting, poker etc although luck is also required in order to acquire successful results. Check below!

https://www.casino.org/responsible-gambling/truth-about-sports-betting/

https://www.thepunterspage.com/sports-betting-luck-skill/

We have our own belief in sports betting or any other skilled based games. Some people just trying to make it complicated, and whatever definition we have, it's never a valid argument until proven it. If some lecture me here that sports betting is out skills and he is profitable, then I would be convince that it is, but if someone says otherwise but haven't proven anything, then I will not take his word seriously but I wouldn't criticize as well as that's his personal opinion.

Let's just be happy and have fun guys, after all gambling is entertainment.
20  Economy / Gambling / Re: No KYC Crypto Casinos & Sites | NoToKYC.com | Exclusive Bonuses on: April 28, 2024, 12:17:32 PM
They market to be as no KYC casino so they should follow it and if they talk about legal compliance then I guess they should not claim anything KYC free at first place .<>


This is quite contradicting, I hope OP will clarify this because no KYC is not the norm for a casino that has a license because they are regulated. AFAIK, when a casino is regulated, KYC is automatic, so they cannot fool the public saying they are a no KYC casino, unless they are unlicense and a fully decentralized platform.
