1041  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 95% of NFTs have a market cap of zero on: October 03, 2023, 02:35:45 PM
The only question I've got is what did you expect?
It was absolutely pointless to think that NFT picture of a monkey is going to be more valuable in some time. Investing into altcoins is much more reasonable.

NFT worth something only if it grants access to anything. Just like it works in GameFi.

I've seen NFTs worse than pictures of monkeys my child can draw a better one, NFT is losing its value because it does not give anything valuable to the community and I agree if they attach some features or perks then there will be a desire for these NFTs.

Those who invested hugely in these NFTs are losing because they cannot get their investment back, it has become a pump-and-dump scheme where the late buyer is the loser and the early investors are the ones raking in the profit.
We have seen a lot of schemes in the community and sad to say NFTs have become part of a sad ending.

Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time. How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?



I experienced this many times, but I also experienced putting in a large amount when I should not and regretting it, gambling is full of surprises what you think is right could turn out bad and vice versa, you should stop thinking the what if scenario.

What happened, happened just accept it as it is.
It's not pleasant if you keep thinking about what might have been scenarios, gambling will stop being fun if you have this mindset, I used to have sleeplessness nights dwelling on this kind of experience, we have to be good in moving on when it comes to gambling.
1043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Gambling Sportybet (Company) Refund the Money? on: October 03, 2023, 01:12:08 PM
In the gambling platform, there are different stories every day across the world. This 16 years Nigerian citizen used his school fees to play bet and was planning to win big amount so he can use it to solve other problems but along the line he loss everything and he went to the contact of the company and begged them to refund the money back to him because it is his school fees. Is it possible for the company to refund the money to the boy? As for me it is not possible because the played the game and loss. And also the boy was too small to gamble because gambling is meant for mature mind because you have you to face things like and when you loss, you have to move on. And these are some the reasons why casinos always specifying that before you play gamble, you must be above 18 years plus  that is in short form 18+ some people and sportsbooks ignore this warning and this is one off the result. Click the picture for more information.

If I were the owner of the gambling platform, I would not yield to the kid's request, It is a bad precedent and it would just encourage minors to gamble because they can always request a refund if they lose their bet, in the first place even if the minor win they should not allow the minor to cash out, again it will encourage minors to gamble.
The gambling platform should be very strict in implementing its rules and they should never allow minors to gamble if caught they should confiscate it to discourage minors from gambling.
Here in our country, we are very strict if the platform is caught letting minors bet the government will impose a heavy penalty, the gambling platform should call out the parents of the child so they be the ones to discipline him.
1044  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Ryan Garcia vs Oscar Duarte (December 2) on: October 03, 2023, 12:16:04 PM


Oscar Duarte has an impressive record of 26-1-1, with 21 of his opponents got KOed so i think he is a live opponent for Garcia.

Pretty good record but not convincing enough to challenge Ryan's power and speed, Duarte was never challenged because he has fought patsies who just stand there to get hit but still the kind of guy Ryan needs for a good come back his current trainer Derrick James has a 0-2 big fights just this year, I hope he will not carry Garcia down.

Garcia needs to impress the boxing community and he needs a knockout to get him back on track there are too many good prospects in the 140, Prograis. Romero and Lopez are fighters who can give a good fight he needs to win this before he can dare these fighters to face him, of course, you need something to brag about before challenging champions.
1045  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 02, 2023, 09:07:46 PM

I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.



I don't think this is something that you can plan, we are emotionally attached to gambling at some point, and if we treat gambling as an entertainment portal it's hard to part ways on something that will give you happiness, your gambling days will be over just when you least it like you have something important to do or you find something that will replace gambling as a form of entertainment, there's really no specific time really.
If you are in full control of your gambling you can end it anytime, it's hard to plan something when it comes to gambling, some quit for a time being and some permanently quit unexpectedly.
1046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo - September 30th in Las Vegas on: October 02, 2023, 03:52:22 PM
Crawford criticized the performance of Jermell Charlo in that fight. He's trying to throw himself to the situation so that people will start talking about his challenge to Canelo. I wonder, what would happen to Crawford if he were to face Canelo in a heavier weight class where he isn't as comfortable? Would he face the same fate as Charlo?

It's hard to speculate, Crawford on all his fights he was never hurt never knocked down, or even in trouble he always dominated all his fights, he has proven that he is the best welterweight champion, Canelo also comes in the welterweight and he did carry his power in that division if Canelo can why not Crawford.

Crawford is a special guy he has already proven himself so I don't want to judge Crawford to be a weaker fighter if he faced Canelo if they ever face in the ring, but right now he will have to take care of Spence or challenge Charlo, a lot of exciting fights coming on these two fighters, Canelo and Crawford.
1047  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pacquaio vs Mayweather 2 rematch on: October 02, 2023, 03:16:32 PM
The biggest exhibition fight in year 2024, if this rumor were to become true.
It will be if the two fighters agreed to fight both fighters could still make a lot of money they are still competitive

Quote
Manny had a slight excuse when he lost to Mayweather; his camp said that he was suffering a shoulder injury at the time, and yet he still chose to continue the fight to not disappoint the fans. It's some sort of saying that he was not 100% during the fight. So, this exhibition fight or part 2 of their rivalry, hopefully, there will be no more excuses, as it's not vital anymore since they have cemented their achievements during their pro careers. The outcome of this fight is already "off the record."
There's no disclosure on the first fight because of Pacquiao's injury maybe in this second fight we'll know who really is a better fighter, if one of them suffers injury during their preparation they can still withdraw since its an exhition.

Quote
Hey, OP! Would you mind putting up a voting poll? Let's see if the majority would still choose Pacman as the winner.

Yes I agree a healthy Pacquiao can beat Mayweather, eventhough both fighters are retire they can their bodies in tip top shape.
1048  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Before you take sides on: October 02, 2023, 02:13:10 PM


Before you take sides with gamblers claiming they get banned for winning too much, remember that casinos are good at monitoring and preventing fraudulent behaviors, you break some rules you are out, and no cheater want to admit that they cheat.


Those who ban players who constantly win are small casinos that cannot keep up with the payment, but are not on top or stable casinos, as long as they have funds coming and have funds in their coffers one example is Stake as long as you're not violating rules you can play and if you constantly win you'll get your payout.
Drake is one example of this he won a lot of money and gets all the money he won and there are hundreds of winners with huge amounts of money and they all get their payout.
If Drake won millions in a newly launched casino there's the possibility that they cannot keep up paying Drake.
1049  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Getting paid on gambling accounts on: October 02, 2023, 01:29:39 PM
I made a mistake of getting paid for signature campaign in gambling platform accounts.
When I got my payment, I thought I would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before I initiate a withdrawal. But I quickly lost control of my emotions and ended up blowing the entire balance of my account. This happened more than once, it happened about 5 times as I received money from different sources.
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .

We at Stake signature campaign can withdraw our payout on our Stake account, you can only play on it or you can withdraw it right away you need to be disciple enough and its a challenge for you to withdraw it, if you think you don't have control don't use a gambling platform address especially if you're active in sports betting and there's sports that you are tempted to bet.

But this is also a good test for you if you can control your urge to gamble knowing you have money coming from your signature earnings but if keeps failing better change the address or you will become a compulsive gamblers trying to recover your losses.
1050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pacquaio vs Mayweather 2 rematch on: October 02, 2023, 12:53:09 PM
Even if it's an exhibition match Mayweather will think twice about facing Pacquiao, but Mayweather is a money man, and if the price is right both fighters might go for it, there is no certainty OP provided in the article, it's 50/50 it depends on the promoters who can push this, both fighters are still not retiring on fighting in the ring although its only for exhibition, there's a big possibility that they will agree to fight if both fighters need money, Pacquiao who run and loss on election spend a lot of money so he needs a big fight, Mayweather is spending a lot and he has a lot of people to give salary.
We'll see if there's development but right now its all speculation.
1051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Educate yourself to be a frugal gambler on: October 02, 2023, 12:03:34 PM
Play for fun. If you are not playing for fun, you are doing it wrong. Gambling should be done to entertain yourself only, and always remember that gambling is not a sound financial investment. I have witnessed the horrors of people who blow their kids college funds and life savings on gambling at a Casino. Don't be one of these people. Have a daily or weekly gambling budget and learn which games you like and how to play them so that you can actually have much more fun playing them than just winging any game.

It's not easy and it will take time before we realize that it's safer to play to have fun but the temptation to make money is always there, you will only realize it once you lose a lot of money but if you keep making money or you have positive results you will keep trying to make money.

Experience is still the best teacher you just cannot teach yourself to have fun while you are just starting the temptation is strong and it will pull your mindset to try to make money when I was starting out I wanted to have fun but the lure to make money pull me to change my mindset, I have to revert to my mindset to just have fun before I lose a lot of money.
1052  Economy / Gambling / Re: Restricted on casino bonuses on: October 02, 2023, 06:26:39 AM


Sharing this experience to be an eye opener that we can't have a consistent profit on a casino without being restricted. Just enjoy the game and don't focus much on profit. In the end, I decided to just focus on trading and rest on gambling.


But if you're playing in top casinos they will let you play as long as they can pay you but if you are winning millions to the point that you can drain their coffers they will likely restrict you, that's how casino business run they have a mechanism where they trace players who keep winning and drain their funds but the difference between playing in big casinos to small casinos, big casinos will not restrict you for small amounts and big casinos are known for their generous bonuses.

So it really comes down to picking the right casinos to play and of course following their terms sometimes being so lucky all times have its disadvantages but good disadvantages because you can limit your gambling time.
1053  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: should i invest need suggestions on: October 01, 2023, 04:59:56 PM
I just read in one of the posts here that this project did a rug pull when I first read about this platform I just knew that this was another pump-and-dump scheme because of the very high APY and the use of shill marketing.
It's so easy to determine if the project is a candidate for a pump and dump scheme, they use shill marketing offer an unrealistic roadmap, and promise very high profit, even promoting that they will be traded in big exchanges like Binance.
Investors should learn how to differentiate good project to shitcoin failure to do will result to losing money.
1054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo - September 30th in Las Vegas on: October 01, 2023, 04:39:28 PM
Who might be Canelo's next opponent? There is nothing for him in super middleweight anymore except more money from other super middleweight fights or maybe if he accepts Bivol's challenge in Canelo's weight division.

In any case, if everyone is listening to Canelo's interview in the ring, it appears he will not retire soon hehehe. Next fight I wish will be vs. Benavidez!

Benavidez is the only fighter worth mentioning. A rematch with Bivol would be a one sided snoozefest. Crawford is too small and would lose similarly to Charlo. Benavidez never lost his belt in the ring and is the current mandatory. Canelo said he didn’t care who was next so there is no excuse for Haymon not to make the fight everybody wants to see.
If this Benavidez fight did not happen one of them is alluding to it, Benavidez really wants to have a piece of Canelo he is the missing fight to establish himself and Canelo needs to fight Benavidez so there will be no more names in the lower division that can keep up with him.

I also don't recommend a Bivol rematch, the guy is too good for Canelo being a natural light heavyweight, as long as Bivol and Beterbiev are the champions Canelo will never capture the light heavyweight, his conquest stops in the super middleweight.
1055  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risk management and responsible gaming on: October 01, 2023, 02:21:12 PM
Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.

They should, in fact, countries are already banning casinos if they see the data shows that they have large numbers of people addicted to gambling, and people losing their money and livelihood to gambling, the government has a big responsibility to its people to see to it that its people are taken care and there are no establishment that will corrupt its people, a regime that cannot protect its people from corruption, will be replaced by its citizen who wants protection from addiction.

Casinos have a responsibility to society to make sure that none of their players are turning into compulsive gamblers or minors playing on their platform, they need to establish parameters to make sure that it will not happen.
1056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Violence and anger could be a sign of gambling addiction in youths on: October 01, 2023, 12:27:32 PM

Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.


What happened to them is that they were not properly educated on the value of money and the value of working for it based on hard work and working for it in legal ways if they see that they could make money from gambling early on before they learn to make money through hard work, they will prefer the easy and riskier, the youth or minors who are deep into this should be rehabilitated because the addiction could deeply embedded, addiction can easily penetrate the mind of the youth and its hard to weed out only rehabilitation can.

It is a failure of the government and the family and institutions if there are too many youths that are deep into gambling addiction, the government could ban any form of casinos if they see the moral fiber of the country going down, family is where youth gets nurtured so the family should be strengthened for to avoid youth addiction.
1057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino is a Games of Chance and Entertainment on: October 01, 2023, 10:22:58 AM
The outcome of the majority of casino games is mostly controlled by luck rather than ability. Examples that are often used include craps, roulette, and slot machines. Players wager on numerous outcomes in these games, and the casino has an inherent advantage that ensures they will profit in the long term.
Casino gaming is a popular source of entertainment. Instead of looking at it as a means of making money, players should approach it with the intention of having fun.

Some gamblers understand this but many gamblers do not and just keep trying to profit from gambling, and they only find this out after losing a lot of money this is a risky experience, gamblers should learn from the experience of other gamblers but there are who kept insisting that there is money to be made from gambling.
Whether luck-based or sports betting, it's hard to make money from gambling you can win once but you cannot consistently win.
And sometimes you can win when you are enjoying the game and you least expect it, it's a good feeling when you win while having fun instead of trying to win.

This is too easy for Canelo, all Charlo did was run and hug and in the interview, he had a hard time explaining what happened to him, great boxing for Canelo he just shows that he still has it and yeah it seems Benavidez is the only fighter that can give him a decent fight in his division or he can do a rematch against Bivol there is really nothing in the super middleweight that can match Canelo's superiority.

He is the man to beat and he will continue to be on the Ring magazine pound for pound as long as no one beats him decisively like what Bivol did, we'll wait for news on his next fight and the boxing needs a fighter that can give Canelo a good match up in the ring.
1059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Youth Gambling on: September 30, 2023, 05:03:56 PM
Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses

It should be stopped at the onset of the addiction, when it comes to youth gambling addiction there should be immediate interference by the parents or the government because the minors cannot decide for themselves how to stop their addiction, the fertile mind of the young people is easily swayed by addiction to gambling, that is why the government has regulators and laws that protect the minors from gambling addiction, the government can not reason out that they need funds, so they neglect their minors.
A government that can't protect its minors from addiction is bound to fail, the welfare of the children is supreme.

You're dreaming $2k in a 24-hour transactions and a liquidity score of 211 this meme coin is going down the drain, this is another meme coin that tried to duplicate Doge and Shinba Inu's success but unfortunately, these meme coins are pump-and-dump coins there are a slow down of Dogecoin like meme coins because a new meme trend just come, which is the Pepe trend.
Next year this StarshipDoge will be out of the market once the Dogecoin meme is over and it will be over next year.
