201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does prediction in sport work for you? on: April 08, 2024, 04:45:58 PM

In football game which is live, there is no way to have accurate pre match predictions, so for that I don't believe in the Services of all those predictions site's or any other platform that promises such service.

You are right and just recently a friend after doing his own research came up with some nice games to stake on but just before he did that he got distracted by another friend who showed him two games from a predicting website and he fail for it , picked them and added to his originally predicted game that had no influence. Behold after the matches the next morning, he checked the slip and those games from the website, one of it was the reason he didn't win the bet, he lost it. So, it is not all the time that predicting sites give you winning and that is why predicting by yourself is always better and you don't have to subscribe your money when at the end you barely have winning to measure up with your vvip subscription  Grin
202  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your top performing altcoin this year so far?? on: April 08, 2024, 03:01:55 PM
Apart from solana, Dogecoin for me has been on steady increase and also stable since last year following the bitcoin volatility. It has really perform to the high and it is going to have a real growth in the bitcoin growth. I also like the stability that cartesi has since it came to the market. These are coins that I expect that will also give investors appreciable profit in the near future.

I don't know what impact that type of gambling will have on the minds of the players but I think that by that tag they want to make gambling available on social media platforms, or they might end up creating a new social media platform for gamblers.

I wonder how they would be able to achieve this where gambling online is what it is even where AI is used I don't think it will achieve that feel of physical socialization as it is felt in offline. To create new social media platforms for gamblers will also play the role of gambling chat rooms and that also does not give that physical touch like offline. I don't see this coming that way of having physical contact for gamblers.

Have you ever noticed or am I the only one?

A gambler may be his own enemy. If you gamble reasonably then you are free from such thinking


The more active I become with gambling, the more it drags me back, luckily I keep risking only what I want to lose.


You are probably gambling with all your intention to get profit, chasing your loses and struggling to survive with gambling. When you left that style of gambling and had a free mind to it probably enjoying the bet then you reason properly and stake rightly. Don't gamble as you can not bear.


The less active I become with gambling, the more positive it gets for me, not most of the time but my results are simply better than when I was very active.


You got less active and started thinking rightly and that will positively influence your analysis and of course you will do better than chasing your loses.


It's like the casinos are wired to mess with the most active gamblers. I don't know, so far I can only find someone who has seen such before.

Casino has no business with messing with you being active , afterall you have not said you were winning big  Grin Casino may have house edge to be more profitable because you are playing a lucky base game and probability of your losing will be higher than your winning and those loses will naturally go to the casino. So casino doesn't have to mess with active player except you think you are being manipulated.


A friend who lives far away from me has also said the same, he got tired of gambling because it wasn't going his way but when he started talking it less seriously, that's when he started to get positive results.


He probably started gambling the right way like you  Grin

betting on these platforms, horse racing, and cock fighting is very exciting there's a lot of noise and shouting that adds up to the excitement our folks here are regular to these platforms, this is their regular weekend habit and its been a tradition for many years here in our country.

Anyway, it is exciting but in my country horse race is not a common game that you see played on the street side but you can see more of cock fighting in the street mostly by young lads. Horse racing is played in gambling houses or casino not in local gambling place. I enjoy cock fighting and followed people that were organising it around.

You don't gamble horse race in the street, it is dangerous and kids can get injured. However, it can be organised inform of polio game and organized as tournament in a defined area or field watched by spectators and it is a festive game.
206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is lack of proof a problem for you or not? on: April 08, 2024, 05:39:47 AM

So a casino being regulated does not really protect you from the possibility of being scammed, and at best it will just decrease the chances of this happening to you.

Yes being regulated is a protection already but if the casino eventually scam then it is not the fault of the player, no one will blame the player for not being careful because he has done the right and expected thing to be protect his money.

If a casino that is regulated get to scam their player then it is the duty of the regulatory body to retrieve the scam money from the casino because they must have known the contact of the casino through the contract that was signed. They also would have some money that the casino keep out with them before they are allowed under their regulation and control because that is part of what regulation is. You will not be under regulatory body whilst they won't have some advanced money under the regulatory body, this is my believe. However, it is still better to play under a regulatory body than playing with a casino that is on its own.

I'm in profit on almost any crypto casino.


If you want those that could be interested to take the risk of you scamming them, you have to post some prove here for them to at least see what you have won for yourself and scrutinize it before they pay for your advise on your telegram but I doubt newbies will fall for this. These days things as this don't work that you have to only send people to your handle, no. Show prove of what success you have made.

7. There are times when ending a relationship is a positive step rather than a negative one.

They say a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage. So while dating, if you find what you can not tolerate, you can let the partner know about it maybe they would change from it or not and if they don't, you are at liberty to move to next person and until you have seen where you are going.


8. Spend some time alone. You'll learn a great deal.

Sometimes people don't stay alone because of some boredom and trying to be involved in certain things that they will be committed into trouble and regret.

209  Other / Politics & Society / Re: DNA and paternity fraud on: April 07, 2024, 03:07:10 PM
Apart from the points that you have listed including infidelity, there is another major point that causes paternity fraud and that is: Money and being financially comfortable.

Some women actually consider somethings as the financial strength of the man to another whom they are sleeping with and can choose a wrong man as the biological father because he has financial strength and that they consider him to be able to take care of her children. This happens even in marriage where the woman is double dating against the husband.

However, the real test is for couples or people who are having issues with paternity to go for DNA test.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 07, 2024, 11:29:19 AM
Well taking break and choosing to play another game work for you but only one works for me and that is to take a break. Usually trying to go into another game after a losing streak won't give a really balanced state of mind because you already having losing mentality that you are fighting to move out of which is the original reason of going into another game, so there is the possibility of chasing those loses back. Maybe you are lucky to have won immediately after changing into another game but to stay away as taking a break does more nerve balancing for me.

211  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Can Bitcoin save a nation that owes a lot of money / Debt on: April 07, 2024, 10:08:20 AM
I don't think so, depending on how big their debt is and I'm assuming it's going to be in the billions, they're going to need to accumulate a lot of bitcoin or maybe even invest a huge part of their national budget into bitcoin acquisition since mining after this halving might not be as profitable, with the current price of bitcoin, they need to be on the level of Microstrategy to be able to make payments for their debts and it's a hard task at hand to be honest, that the answer to the question is that it's probably not a way to save Pakistan's debts through bitcoin.

They would be making great mistake if they would invest their budget money in bitcoin, that means they would have to wait for at least a year for the bull to be matured before they cash out into paying countries that they are indebted to. That one year of investment and waiting would have been the year they would implement the budget into different sectors of their economy to see how they can make progress in that year. It will not be a good idea for a country to invest in bitcoin in the hope to build the economy through it . El Salvador for instance have not been a super country financially having invested in bitcoin . In fact they have lost huge value of their bitcoin investment because of the expectation is yet to be accomplished as bitcoin bull is still not there yet, Nayib Bukele is trying to win his second term, reconvince businesses on the need to use bitcoin .
212  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The governments are conscienceless on: April 07, 2024, 07:52:05 AM
What's the interest of a government to the masses in a situation where the nation is experiencing inflations with a poor economy system and the same circle, the masses are crawling to survive but yet the government feels no remorse and yet they in time increases taxes values and utilities bills making it more frustrating and worsening the situation for the poor masses.

Don't always get pained in what government does because it will only make you end up in anger with yourself.

Government will not at all times satisfy every body, some government policies will end up benefiting certain set of people in the area where that policy is made or also affect some others too. At every point therefore, some people go out of jobs or businesses while some increase their income because of that same policy and this is why they say some people benefit from a particular government while some don't, so it depends on the policy and how far it affects the individual.

So we have to always try to have alternative means and options to work it, things won't always be working in our direction.

For the increase in tax, government will tell you it is most appropriate to generate revenue for building infrastructure for development of the country and so they are not concern about individual complain but the focus in the "perceived " benefit of the country.
213  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: Can Bitcoin save a nation that owes a lot of money / Debt on: April 07, 2024, 07:26:03 AM
For a country's debts to decrease, its economy must develop. Buying Bitcoin does not increase the economy. The financial sector increases the economy only according to statistical data, but if the profits from this sector are not distributed to real sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, agriculture, medicine, education and others, then the country will continue to borrow and depend on the policies of other countries.

This is right. Investing in bitcoin for the purpose of ROI to repay debts is only going to be a temporal measure and not long lasting thereby plunging the economy back to where it belongs because they will still go back borrowing. A country can make profit in bull season only either with halving because of demand and volatility that will be created and so when the season is off what happens?

Like you have narrated, to take a country out of economic woes and under development, first the country must wipe itself off from corruption because that is a knife that cuts through proper economic planning. Such countries with bad economy have bunch of corrupt government officials and politicians who when infrastructures are located through them, they embezzle the money into private use and then leaving those neighborhood at the mercy of what would have been prevented with such money budgeted.

For economy to grow and leave the poverty and indebtedness line, it must take capital projects and real investment serious. This will increase GDP and improve stand of living.

Human development i and education must also come into the fore and proper budgeting/planning must be made including monitoring. Education is the bedrock of innovation leading to manufacturing. So when this is done, there will be growth in the manufacturing sector and then exporting will be increased while importation is reduced and foreign currency reserve will improve which will bring borrowing to the normal and lowest minimum.

So it takes real planning and effort to draw a country out from borrowing to grow the economy internationally and not by temporal means of bitcoin investment.
214  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why not create a Gambling platform on Market narrative? on: April 07, 2024, 06:59:47 AM

Then, why not create a platform for predicting the performance of any cryptocurrency or a platform for predicting future trends in the market or both?

What are your thoughts on this?

Well it is going to be a new innovation to add to existing predicting sites but I think it will create hype only at the bull season and after that during the bear the hype will die down then it will not generate money for the site. Most of the coins that creates spontaneous hype are meme coins and they are usually at their moment during the bull season, so after that gamblers may not find it interesting to predict on them.
215  Economy / Economics / Re: considering the advantage of Fiats over Cryptocurrencies on: April 06, 2024, 09:31:32 PM

Everything is life is not so balanced are when you're dealing with the sweetest parts of it, we fails to consider the bitter side of it.
Most of us as at times thought about how Crypto could dominate over financial exchange for payments without considering this certain advantage of the Fiats and also considering that most persons still lives a primitive live to cope with the digitalities of advancements.

The adaptability of cryptocurrency is growing despite the old system of fiat. However, the world will not stop because of those who still call bitcoin bubble that will burst one day and people who have their money invested on crypto will lose all they have. No the world won't stop for all those. Crypto has become an alternative financial transaction globally and the system is such that most payment platform that implore digital means are including bitcoin as part of the payment system. Crypto transaction are faster and not encumbrance of their party which leads to delay.

217  Other / Off-topic / Re: Just another gambling addict story. on: April 06, 2024, 02:47:30 PM

He threatened his mother that he would kill himself if he didn't give it up.


I know of a practical story and experience of someone who actually borrowed money and when he couldn't pay back he killed himself. So his own case was that he didn't tell his relatives or threatened to kill himself rather the public got to know about what happened to him he was already gone, it was the few who were aware that revealed the reason he took his life. The unfortunate thing is that his family are very rich and would have paid back the money with ease without any financial burden for him to be alive. But the guy didn't want the stigma or shame.

So it is a story that is already not far from the public that gamblers borrow money and then they are not able to pay back, some are lucky that the family come to their rescue.
218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: April 06, 2024, 08:07:04 AM

After digressing on this, I had to visit some online casino centres enquiring from the players and they almost says the same thing and due to the fact that online casino has a potential of bonus profits,  and also offers convenience services, gamblers takes it more serious gaming for profits.

Online casinos are not the only one giving out bonuses. Offline gambling house or casinos also do that from time to time to encourage gamblers to continue playing. Sometimes they organise football competition for their customers and there are promise to sponsor good and selected players to find good clubs. Many more are found as inceptives for customers of offline casinos so it is not only online casino that does any of those you have mentioned as excuse for online casinos to be for profit while offline is for fun. No, they but are means to gamble or stake your money so it depends on the players intention and not where they gamble.


While in the land base gambling, it is more of physical engagements and also one of the P2P characters where has a socialism featured environment that both sides can discuss, argue and even dragging audience attentions in a scenero that it could even turn a crowdy fansing and cheering of a favourite team all full of excitements while the game goes on. So even when they looses the background of the game centre would not have them that feelings of their lost as much as that.


Online casinos also have chat rooms where gamblers can chat and discuss even if it is not physical. It is just the mode for the different kind of casion, we don't expect an online casino to have ingredients of a physical casino or for physical casinos to have the characteristics of online casino  Grin


On a general overview, we must agree that funs is more generated from group of persons more than one individual trying to participate on some activities without a physical connection of others but otherwise, both land base and online casinos can derive both profits and funs.

No we must not because they are the same even though operating differently.


I might not have a physical proof to back this up because it was all of physical enquires and consultations.

Thought as much  Grin

Lucky for me, I got out before it all started but right now I've gotta admit that it feels a little boring just sitting on the sidelines and not making any real moves. That said, I still have good reason not to delve back into the open market just yet.

Nice one say you leave before the market trap you but na which side you go trade, bitcoin never really move much today, you just run out  Grin


Instead, I want to try something else in the meantime. Anything else. I'd appreciate suggestions on open lucrative staking options you know, contests, and maybe competitions (that don't involve trading).

I dey feel you too bro because trading no be for everybody, e better make you stay your lane and do the way wey you sabi do. Regards to staking, you no go fit stake btc but you fit stake some others but there return too no go too dey much. I know say you fit stake dogecoin, cartesi, shiba etc, you fit check for binance.
