At least it's just a temporary effect because the way to stop it is don't gamble at work.

But what if your employee or your boss know you're a gambler? it's a long term effect and every employees always know you're a gambler even you've stop to gamble. Most people always think gambler will give a bad effect at work, so you might be ostracized by other employees or kicked from the company.

Employers don't like what will distract their employee and so in the first place if at the interview level and you were asked about gambling and whether you criticize those gambling, it is a way to ask if you have interest in gambling or whether you gamble so your response will determine if you will get the job base on what they want.

If a company is not looking for gamblers you may not be employed in such places especially if you have to be handling cash at the work place. So it depends on what the employer wants but majority of the establishment want someone committed to the time of work. No employer will be happy if you misuse the working hours.
1542  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: October 13, 2023, 12:47:27 PM

The rest have to go with the traditional way, earning an educational degree and trying to look for the best job for their niche. A lot of people say that degrees don't matter, all you need is knowledge, skills, and experience, I only partly agree with that, because a person who is the sole breadwinner for their family can't just keep trying to get success through their skills and they eventually have to find a way to at least earn some money to survive.

Both degree and skill are for the purpose of being able to financially take care of yourself and family but that is depending on how you are able to plan yourself. It is not only through education that a breadwinner can survive but even through skills. Above all to diversify your source of income is ultimate. For example whether you have a guarantee job in government or you are someone who works with his acquired skill, to be successful you need to spread your net to other areas other than just one source of income.
1543  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 13, 2023, 10:55:39 AM

I believe that abortion before the 15th week of pregnancy should be a girl’s choice, since it has a very low probability of harming the girl. After week 15, I would give the choice to the doctor.

This is not really the question of who should perform it, whether the doctor or the person or couple but the contention is whether it is good or not to do it, the pros and cons of abortion. Then the views to it. Well it is such a completed issue, back in the days it was not really considered by some homes but with different challenges and needs, the discuss and views about it is shifting.
1544  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Relying on gamble wins is dangerous to mental health on: October 13, 2023, 10:20:58 AM
I met a friend who used about $1 to play gamble to win about $2500 in a game of different matches, all the early games went well but the last game cut which made him loose the game.  This lose made him to be sick for 3 days, the reason for his reaction was not because of the money he used to bet but he felt so bad because he has already put all his hope on the money he would have won.



I have witnessed this kind of scenerio too where the gambler was sure that his last game on the bet would be successful but it later turned out to be wrong. I his own case he had already gathered his friends in drinking joint to celebrate the expected victory while they were still watching the game live in that same joint and viewing center. The funny thing is that the bar tender didn't bother to stop any of them from drinking in the gamblers name on credit since he instructed them. Behold as the game of football is not determined until the final whistle (FT) , the game atmosphere changed and there was a deafening silence at the joint because the gambling was losing the game and finally, it ended against the bet and that was how he lost about $7,000 plus the debts accumulated from the drinks at the bar.

So your friend in question is lucky no expenses is incurred on him yet.. In the game of football , it is not over until the last whistle .

People needs not to put all their hope in games they are not sure of winning, because relying on it can be very dangerous to the mental health. Play gamble and remove your mind from the money that will be gained till it is achieved.


At the last game, people usually build that kind of confidence and expectation for winning the bet especially if it is a longtime you have been losing. But the solution to this is to cash out to avoid the pressure and uncertainty of winning.
1545  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin investment and real estate investment, na which one get advantage pass on: October 13, 2023, 08:09:35 AM

Sha, we all can't make the same choices, and I think it all depends on personal goals and likes.I really love real estate, so I can't pick BTC over it. We all know there are lots of gains from owning a land, house, or estate. It's the only asset that doesn't diminish.



I still prefer property far above btc investment. Me I believe say btc bull na temporary and if you no sabi when the bull don expire, omo na next 4 years you go expect your profit, depending on how much price you take buy or you sell in lose.

Dem two na good investment options, because na where you go put your money and you go de sure of returns on your investment. So for me to get di one wey go de sure pass for my side na to consider factors wey go give me advantage pass for inside di two. One outstanding advantage wey I feel say real estate get pass bitcoin be say di former no de stressful like di latter. You need internet to de check weda bitcoin, de enter halving, ATH, bull run, chart to predict di market weda price de pump or dump, real estate, na to relax and de sure say anything wey you wan sell, high probability de say di value don increase and you go make plenty profit.

Anoda advantage of  real estate investment be say you fit bargain price of your property and sell to di highest bidder, but you no fit to bargain price for bitcoin, na wetin di market price be at di time wey you wan sell, na im you go collect.



Op your talk make sense here.

About the two factors wey you dey consider on property above bitcoin investment, all businesses get their challenge. That property own too, sometimes people dey pay land or house wey dey inside fight and court case. So if you dey unluck or deceived into buying the land na problem be that. Although I agree say property dey give you more time because you know need to check or recheck like as the internet business be but if you get better phone with strong network reception you go still see say to navigate the internet still easy, na passion be the thing. So we need to invest for the area wey we get passion.

The other point wey you drop, yes everybody know the price of bitcoin but e still get people wey dey negotiate their own price for back like P2P or those wey dey do arbitrage buying and selling.
1546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often is your luck in gambling? on: October 13, 2023, 07:51:10 AM

I get lucky with investments even with shitcoins though. All networks today from ETH down to Arbitrum I think already have memecoins on them, I could never get bad luck If I invest DOGE and SHIB today.

The expectation for shit coins to rise for profit can only be possible with bitcoin halving, that is if the bull really hit the market next year. As for the two memecoins, I can only hope on doge and not Shiba incase I want to compare shitcoin profit with gambling success. However, gambling expectation for profit is probably daily but the risk for win and loss is almost the same or the losses are higher.

In terms of investment though I will prefer shitting with dogecoin.   
1547  Economy / Gambling / Re: Cryptocasinofinder.org - Trusted Guide to Crypto Casinos on: October 13, 2023, 07:01:59 AM
I don't really know if there are users here who rely on the reviews from website that open up here for their own business. I still feel that most review sites are for business and that is what they are for. I will prefer to read on the scam and reputation board to get a direct pulse of a user here on the way he was treated and get the response of the casino and then the judgement of fellow user of the said casino in question, that is the review I will prefer.

Anyway, you are welcome to the forum and we wish you do your due diligence and not be biase.
1548  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Politicians who accept ₿? on: October 12, 2023, 09:14:45 PM
There are many politicians who accept bitcoins like you have mentioned that a senator accept I, so there is probability is there that the other of his colleagues might learn from him on bitcoin and how to use it.

Moreover, politicians are part of the society and the effect of what ever is happening in the society or country gets to the polician.They have PCs and they can access the internet, and ads about btc is not hidden. Therefore, my analysis is that, they are just part of the society and get affected or influenced by what is happening in the society. In order words, you will see more who use bitcoin.
1549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don’t push playing more on: October 12, 2023, 07:57:54 PM

Have a break and just gamble newt week or month because a lucky game will make you win easily and not with a very hard to win winning condition.

Taking a break is also emotional and that is why must addicts don't take a break. The reason is that they feel that moment they took a break and don't play, they feel they would make profit or hit their jackpot at that time and so it is be herculean for them to decide to do that. But there is benefit in taking a break because it gives you a rejuvenated version, strength and ideas from the corrections of your mistakes. Your mindset also changes which can improve on your gambling strategy and knowledge.
1550  Economy / Speculation / Re: [Fun] Bitcoin price could hit $750K to $1M by 2026 on: October 12, 2023, 03:27:31 PM
That could only happen at the eve of the day ushering in 2026 if the US and EU countries announce adoption for bitcoin and after that it will gradually drop down to around $200,000 only owing to the adoption because it is not sustainable.

But without adoption, I would not bet on that as nothing will push the price that higher during the bear. After the expected halving, the next halving should be in 2028, so 2026 is definitely a bear year. I don't see such price increase apart from real adoption and legalization of bitcoin in more than 100 countries.
1551  Economy / Economics / Re: It doesn't increase purchasing power on: October 12, 2023, 02:45:18 PM

There should be no need to repay loans or pay interest, Banks should be fully at the disposal of governments to issue loans to the people without any hindrance, Along with this, there should be no need to pledge any capital to get the loan

I think I get the point here and truly that is what will increase purchasing power and who does the purchasing? Is the people. So giving them access to unrepayable interest free credit will ensure businesses are built, SME growth, employment of labour etc and this will naturally reengineer the fabrics of the economy including increase in GDP and improved standard of living. I think government should therefore work out modalities to grant credit to masses though with ways to ensure such loans are returned after a long stipulated time and some other unrefundable financial assistance too.
1552  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: BUA reduce price of cement. A new strategy to end monopoly. on: October 12, 2023, 01:31:22 PM

People selling on retail said dey want to clear theirs old stock, before accepting the new price. And now even if dey buy #3500 from factory, they can not sell that same amount they bought. They will like to make profit, so there for to me I see no possibility of achieving that price in my own understanding.

So what do you guys think about this?

No be even about the old stock or whether the retailers will get refund of old stock on new stock, that is even covered in the publication but my own be say for naija, things na the more you look the less you see. Check wetin be today's date but nothing don begin happen for that regards, all na propaganda and if seriousness go dey we for don see dangote begin drop price first and where him never do am, na look we go still dey look. Abi if you get building project, continue to build dey go make dem no kuku increase am more for December month except you want to pause till around raining season again.
1553  Economy / Gambling / Re: Best Parlay Bets for this upcoming weekend in all sports areas on: October 12, 2023, 01:11:14 PM
Hello all,

Have any of you made great parlay bets in the past? I would love to know what it was! Do you have any current Parlay bets being wagered that you would be open to sharing?
Parlay or what is usually called multi bet is a bet that may provide quite large odds but also has big risk because when making bet like this to be successful the gambler must win all the bets combined.

The increased odds in parley is what makes it attractive for some. They are more concern on what will be the outcome in profit but the risk is high because you don't win the entire parley if you have lost any of it in the game so you have to win all and that is not very easy, of course it is a discouragement for me.

Firstly every gambler must have a type of sport that they like but you may not necessarily like the sport or match that other gamblers like so that is why I advise you to prioritize your own predictions in the type of bet that you like.

This is true. Keeping to what works for you is best because after all what matters is profit but nothing wrong with trying new things also. If you are trying out new games then do it with a minimal fund that you can afford to lose.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If we lose in gambling, what do we need to do? on: October 11, 2023, 07:00:02 PM

When gambling don't chase losses or you'll keep on losing and also get addicted. If you lose you can stop gambling and try some other time. You mightn't have luck that day when you lost but when you try other times you would win. Also try other games as you mightn't have luck on that game that you're betting on.

But trying different games at a time or because you are losing in the other game can become a losing streak for the gambler because there is no more focus and attention given to one type of game. The trust level will reduce if he is losing in both games. It is really better to take out time to decide on what to do when you are losing and not to jump in and out of different games, that will mean desperation, anxiety will increase and that is not good for gambling.
1555  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Government job or private job? on: October 11, 2023, 04:25:28 PM
As they said, government job is better compare to private job because it is permanent and pensionable and the job is more secured. Though private job too some are pensionable but not permanent and not that secured. And again in private job, you have the opportunity to let them know how much you want to be paid. You can either be paid higher or lower base on how you present yourself.

Which one do you prefer if you are given an offer?
everyone has different views but I was never interested in working in the government, I saw that even though you get a stable salary, working in the government is difficult to get rich, you have to have other side businesses to get rich besides that is what people think when they see a government employee those who are rich are also very bad, they will definitely think that person is corrupt.

I think also that there are now some level of wanting to be independent by many people instead of working in government and you only depend on salary and hope for pension at old age and sometimes that pension is not paid in some countries because of corruption.

Youths have considered labouring with their strength while young instead of waiting to tell same stories their fathers told them for not getting rich because they depended on salary job by the government. It is therefore better to begin a personal business even if you still get government jobs and that was the mistakes the old people did, to rely on just one stream of income, no body gets financially comfortable or rich with that.

By the way, when better thing go want come, e go just stay as rumour. For how many months now we don dey hear say Bua cement want crash the price of cement but e just dey fly as rumour for air, it can't drop.

This thing go affect people wey dey into wholesale of cement and dem dun already buy market for the old price. If the price of the cement drop now, dem go fit sell at a loss because them still get old stock wey dem buy old price.

So e be you like say that one go happen. Cement price no go dump like that, na today we dey hear dat kind thing. The price no go drop when dangote never confirm am as the biggest manufacturer, so na wish e just be. Dangote wey still dey talk say dollar dey high against naira and say na the raw materials dey affect the finished product wey be cement. Omo if dem no fix dis country and begin to manufacture things and export to exchange for foreign currency, hmmm forget, na so things go dey go higher.

2. The other option I'm also considering is that, since I have basic experience in graphics, and also have little tech knowledge, I can start up a computer institute where I will focus on training young teenagers on the foundation of basic computer operation, graphics, some tech-related course and also use the working environment to conduct private lesson for them. My issue with this option is that there are people already using their cafe for computer training in the area where I intend to start this business so my fear is how best I can manage the competition although I have a unique idea that is different from what those existing cafes are doing.

Your little advice will go a long way!

Yeah on this second option, don't allow fear discourage you from that which you already know there is light on it. In fact, competition is good for business. Those already existing business centers you think have covered all the customers may not be giving those customers the service and satisfaction they need, so you could come in to do that and it will be like lightening the way you will grow.

Usually in a business environment, there are one, two or few people who don't like the way owners there operate their business or they have had quarrel before so they are just waiting for another alternative to patronize. So such people who have not committed themselves in patronizing existing business centers there are your first customers.

Don't be scared but as a new business in an area where such business is already existing, you have to launch out very well and make a statement that will be lasting in the minds of your would be customers. Like some new business do freebies, give always or charge ridiculously low for a start until they have seen you are ready to conquer.

but let's just imagine that this boy won millions of dollars with his school fees, do you think he will get paid? Even if his parent knew about it there is nothing they can do to get the money out, the boy is underage is going to be the excuse anyway.


The casino can only claim the excuse of underage and further stated explicitly that winnings from underaged are not redeemable, otherwise if not stated about the ban of underage gambling from their platform in their ToS it will be difficult for them not to pay the boy. If that is not written their in the ToS, the parents will claim the winning for the boy by contacting a lawyer that will file a court action to prosecute the matter.

Your idea is good. To have different means of income is really important in this present economic hardship but the challenge will be how you can manage your time.

Somehow cryptocurrency business is time consuming and you also have to give it time if you want to succeed in it except you are only hodling but if you plan to trade without giving it time it gets you into loses. But surely there is need to diversify your income source and the area of interest is in line with what you are already having basic knowledge on.
1560  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 11, 2023, 08:00:24 AM

Does this even make any sense?


Yes, it does. You are the one that is making it look like financing but it is not exactly regarded that way. It is either referred to partnership.


Because the only place this makes a bit sense is the skills base niche like forex trading or crypto trading, how can gambling/gambler be financed?


It is not only in trading. It happens in gambling. You can get someone who doesn't know how to gamble but hears that your games are always winning, he can strike such deal with you.


Have you heard of such before? What is the end result if you have?


Yes I have heard and seen but not often times.

It is usually when someone doesn't gamble but wants someone who would forecast while he provide the bet money or they jointly agree on how much to contribute and sharing of the potential.

This is possible when one party doesn't gamble for one reason or the other, he could "hide" under a friend to contribute betting money and share from its proceed. This is more witnessed in offline game house. Like if he knows the attendant would report him to his parents or pastor, wife so he can decide to bet that way.

But must times it is because the party doing the analysis doesn't have money to stake his forecast. I have not seen issues in such but the partnership doesn't last because at a point the other party would learn to gamble direct or stop along the way.
