401  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indirect victims of gambling addiction on: March 06, 2024, 02:54:18 PM
Hi community,

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.


You have said it all. When a gambler is not married, his dependence being the parents or people whom are his care givers are those that get troubled and affected by his gambling woes and when the gambler is married then the wife and children bear the brunt when he doesn't want to stop. They are the ones that will bear his financial indeptedness whether directly or indirectly when those troubles come, because a creditor may go overboard to seek remedy by taking his family to be part of him if he (the debtor) sees that is the only way to recover back his loan, property or other debts.

However, the other layer are the friends but they are not very much involved, they play advisory role to the gambler but when the troubles starts to brew, it is the family or parents that really get affected.

Even though it looks quite helpful, AI technology can be detrimental if used excessively, and that is why it is important to have regulations from the gaming commission to monitor the use of this AI technology.

Like you said, I also think that it usefulness will become over bearing and boring to the gaming world. It will create dichotomy between casinos that uses AI and those that are not like we are having the KYC for some casinos and those not verifying on KYC.

So Al will be good in checking cheating for those players trying to do that. It will create a revolutionized system that will further make gambling robotic and boring.
403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you experience this sometimes? on: March 06, 2024, 10:05:58 AM
I think the lesson to this thread is to follow that instinct that tells you yes or no in gambling and it is better to follow the no answer and remove that doubt you have instead of trying to manage it and at the end of it all you start having that kind of regret as Op is expressing.

Gambling is like that when you are in a cross road but the best is to use the elimination method and not to allow the game you are scared to spoil your bet go in , after all if it doesn't go in and it wins it doesn't change anything from your multiple bet and you will be luckier and happier if the game is a failure. So always, we should drop our fear out of the bulk of the multiple bet and the fear is that particular game that we are not sure of. Dropping it does not necessarily mean putting another substitute.

Sometimes out fear is the option that we want to bet on it. Such option we may not have that confidence on it, we could as well drop the entire game or change the option. For example if the option is on the numbers of goal to be scored in that match, then we can reduce the goals to stake on and not to increase. That is also the elimination method.

Don't allow the game you are scared of to make up your bet because if it is the game that cause the bet to fail, that anger and regret will always be there.

One of the best ways na to write them down for book, no be sheet of paper oo but full note book or joker. Whether the note book or joker, the person go make sure say him put only him password or seed phrase there so that him go know say na only things about crypto dey there and no confusion from anything written on the book. You can make the book duplicate of two or more and also keep differently where they will be safe. So you go just carry one note book join body incase you need quick access.

To carry your password or codes go put for internet, na very bad way of thinking. In fact the person wey think like that suppose collect better knock. Online na scammers den and if them try break their way through, omo na hack oo.

Gambling is done as fun, if you win you should be happy, if you lose do not despair let alone stress.
Enjoy gambling with cold money, don't force it because money is for your needs.

You have identified one particular problem that makes people to fall to chasing their loses. Gamblers tend to force winning out by themselves without understanding that the games have an already direction that it is going while they want to redirect the outcome to suit them and this is the reason they fail after a try. They are destabilized in studying their analysis because their focus is winning back loses, so they just run in into betting for another one after they have lost the previous.

We have to understand that to force our bet into our desired aim will not work so we have to be reasonable and bet the amount we can endure when it outcome is loss, with this it will help our gambling adventure.
406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Monte Carlo fallacy on: March 05, 2024, 04:31:23 PM
Personally I don't believe in such analysis. As it is called... fallacy, and so it won't work for everyone. I don't rely on the occurrence as such. If a dice produces the number 6, it doesn't mean the next number to produce is likely to be lower than it or if it has produced the frequency of 6, it may still repeat it or some number lesser. I only see luck to it and not probability or mathematical calculations.

However, I know that so many people still believe in some things that they use as a sign for profitable gambling or to indicate when the loses will come. But if this is the case that they are always accurate then we will have more gambling winners than people complaining of risk and loses in gambling .
407  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The government and the blame game. on: March 05, 2024, 03:43:24 PM
Tinubu give Nigerians shocker on the first day and him say his name suppose enter Guinness book, I don't know for what maybe na for inflicting more pain to people. I never see seriousness in them and even the way the present present matter, him just like to joke about everything and to try to make people laugh even from primaries and campaign season. They have to be serious.

Agreed that the top 3 candidates for that election talk say dem go also remove subsidy but if dem also do am the way wey Tinubu take go about am, dem too go fail. How can the government rely on palliative dey run system and people no still dey get am. The refinery wey dem promise say e go work for December, this na three months running. This government electricity situation don become the worst and if no electricity how production go function. The federal government never show any leadership prowess and hopes are being dashed. It is just that many states government are same corrupt people otherwise dem for begin run deir own independent power project like governor Alex Otti don start for Abia then federal government go know say if states dey run independent infrastructure, the federal no go fit stand well again.
408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: March 05, 2024, 02:02:50 PM

You're right though there are some person who feel excited while gambling, regardless to there loses yet they still feel excited,reason been that they know gambling itself is just part of fun. they are just playing for fun,and also for intertainment, they don't expect wining except when luck is on there side that is when they can win.but there are some person who bet more often hoping for luck to always be on there side everytime they gamble, and this set of people doesn't feel excited when gambling,because they intend to be wining whenever they gamble.

Maybe you forgot to add that those who gamble for fun and are happy whether losing or not are those who gamble with the amount of money that they can afford to lose. They don't gamble with all their worth and expecting to win by all means rather they believe in the luck aspect of gambling and as such act accordingly and not to bet hugely to win jackpot. If you gamble with little money that you can afford to lose then your mind will still be at peace like you never lost anything but in the case where you have to empty your bankroll to gamble, you will feel depressed for the moment that you lost. So the amount staked is also contributory to how you feel when you lose.
409  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Network issues these days on: March 05, 2024, 12:51:39 PM
Network thing for naija depends on your location. Even people for the same village no dey receive same coverage either because dem dey far from their mask area or the house wey dem dey live get some obstruction wey make network no dey too touch there.

Although e still be like say wetin op talk get some meaning there for the network issues. Sometimes the network dey seize and the thing go dey make some people talk say maybe government don disconnect the network when them no want make people know wetin dem want do. Although this is not verified though .

Another thing wey we go look be say this NIN wahala self make some lines no dey go and you keep trying without knowing it has been disconnected by the service provider.

Solution generally na to still get all the lines incase you notice say one no dey give you wetin you want then you can change to another. Basically, having a 4G phone in naija you are good to go for now and people wey don already move to 5G don dey upgraded.
410  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: We need restructuring in Nigeria:;the way forward on: March 05, 2024, 11:14:45 AM
Confederation is good, e be like na the thing wey you dey try talk but how viable e dey for this country now be the thing. Na how many states go gree come together again to form the three big states wey you dey talk about. The middle belt go everly want to stay their own and moreover inside the middle belt some go still want dey away. So my brother, e choke.

Again, as e be say dem don carry pipe line take cross all the regions, na how dem go still do that part? Some region don dey dependent on oil even though they don't produce it, the matter plenty to discuss for Nigeria to stay as a confederation.
411  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Law of gravity no de apply for di prices of goods inside Nigeria on: March 05, 2024, 10:25:12 AM
e bin de get out of hand to reach about 2000 naira to 1 US dollar, but as e be now, di exchange rate don drop to approximately 1400 naira to 1 US dollar.


Price now at 1,573 per dollar. Make we no dey play, dem never get am right until they do, it will keep fluctuating higher.


If CBN put dem acts together and we come begin to see naira appreciation, meaning say our currency go begin gain value, dat one go be good news for most Nigerians.


How funny wey CBN people dey. Dey are using money to pursue money, na more inflation na. If dem like make dem dey sell dollar direct to BDS people, it doesn't stop exchange rate to dey favour dollar because of demand and supply. The demand for dollar dey high so it will keep making more naira to chase for few dollars available. People need to import stuff and dem need dollar to do that. If government no begin do electricity then production will still be no where.


How di naira to dollar matter take concern dis thread be say, normal normal if any currency begin appreciate, e suppose cause di prices of goods and services to de come down. But with my experience for dis country as a Nigerian, anytime wey prices go up, e no de fit to come down, even if di price go come down na insignificant money dem go comot. So if naira continue to appreciate, you think say e go make prices of goods to de reduce?

But if dollar reduce and fuel, diesel, gas price wey get direct effect on majority of the local business people wey no need dollar to operate no go down then price won't go down. People dey sell old stock for new price and dem go tell you say dem no go fit buy new market when dem go market. So petroleum price need to drop before local businesses go justifiably go down.
412  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: The higher numbers of alt coin on: March 05, 2024, 08:38:34 AM
My country people, ona good morning, today I wan talk about alt coin and the rate  at which e dy increase in numbers everyday, and we all know that almost all of them na scam.

Well you get point for there regards say altcoins na altcoins but no be all be scam but the thing be say person need to dey careful and DYOR so that you go take the blame and regret by yourself incase say anything go wrong. No doubt say some altcoins too dey wey go do well for this bull season both old altcoins and new ones but na make person fit sabi the one wey go blow.  One thing for sure be say altcoins too go follow for cash out this season with the way things don begin happen, like I don see some dey already dey waka follow btc like dogecoin (not a financial advise anyway) but then some altcoins too go come market as dem no really put body for the market last bull run.


 especially to our newbie leave alt coin alone and invest only on Bitcoin to be at the safer side.


Yeah because dem be green horn and dem never sabi wetin dey sup, dem fit just hang on with the popular coins for now. It is risky to just dey buy coin because dem cheap because when hodlers go pull the rug dem no go know and the coin go become useless with dem.
413  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Communication as part of life in the society on: March 04, 2024, 04:14:35 PM
Communication skills is essential to express what you actually have in your mind to the people who you want to express it can be anyone like in an interview you need to express what you are capable of even if you're equipped with everything that needed for you to be recruited. You need communication skills to convey everything to your life partner and the list goes on and on...
Communication is important in all aspects in life, even with relationships with people,  sometimes when you don't express your self about an issue some other person may take it personal differentl. It is always important to communicate,  to let people know your intentions. The necessary things people needs to know about I don't think their is no need for you to keep it in you.

Everything depends on the individual's preference, if they think something is worth to share with that person then it is important to express what their intentions behind their actions or they no need to explain anything at all cause sometime explaining everything to everyone is just waste of your time and it is an unnecessary thing to do as well.

Quite alright but there are times you can skip some communication when you see that disclosing such information will lead you into having discouragement towards the right action that you are suppose to take. For example if someone is severely sick and you are waiting for a third party to give approval before that person is taken to hospital, you see that that communication is really not needed because you are suppose to take a sick person to the hospital first before taking other considerations of finance or something to that nature.

Even in security purposes, it is not all that the intelligence gather that they share to certain members of their group. They keep certain information secret so that it will not be disclosed to the public. Even in house hold, if you observe that disclosing certain information would cause more havoc than peace, some people will keep quiet on that and allow peace to reign.
414  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Look presentable so opportunities would come your way. on: March 04, 2024, 02:41:53 PM

 As a young man you don’t have to be  caught unfresh, that will drop your swag, and this may lead to low self esteem and even lack of confidence.  Opportunities may even come your way simply because of how you dress and how well you’re able to rep yourself, this is the simplest task but most important part facing the real world. It really pays when you invest in yourself.
 

This is quite true. Sometimes in a gathering or meeting, you may have an executive in your midst that you have been dreaming of giving your business card to but if you are not well dressed and confident of yourself, that may discouraged you from doing that contract chase which may be the end of the opportunity to see that particular personality maybe for a long time. So it is a good advise to look smart and good because you don't know the opportunity you are seeking for that you may get on a platter of gold but because you are looking unpresentable you may not want to put yourself in the public.

In an occasion for example, those who are well dressed and looking nice won't have to be scared that they are not going to be accepted in the public, they go around confidently because they want to be noticed, when you are not neatly dressed, it doesn't give you that aura of confidence, especially you have to smell nice with good mouth breath. It is very offensive if the mouth is not properly taken care of  Grin
415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler on: March 04, 2024, 01:24:32 PM

OP, what happened to you is nothing strange to me, as it has happened to me several times,but what I come to notice is that, when we go for a cash out without any profit on it, it means that you have used the money that you cannot afford to lose, and that was why you were unable to wait for the matches to be over to know your fate.
 

There is also a place of emotional stability to this along side experience. An inexperienced gambler will not be able to wait to see what happens whether they have bet with money they can afford or not, they would cash out when it comes, the most reason for this is fear to lose and anxiety for not knowing what to do and so they want to end it by going the cash out way then waiting for another opportunity to win but such opportunity may take a longer time to achieve. However, One can use cash out because that is what is made for but no need to express regret when it turns out it would have been to the player's favour.
416  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What do you want slave? on: March 04, 2024, 11:36:34 AM

I think that one worthy dream is to try that you children are not to be in the same situation. This has a lot to do with gaining financial freedom for them.

In this present time I think there are different opportunities that can help someone live above his family status especially those from poor and average family. The internet has become a platform for different investment opportunity for anyone to take advantage of without limitation. The only limitation that I see is the one created by the individual himself and that is through procrastination and not having the vision for the future.

The future is always in our hands now unlike there were opportunities in the past. In few months back, Bitcoin was still below $30,000 but some left their money in fiat form and kept in the bank allowing the bank make use of that money by lending to people who have vision to invest while they charge interest on their money but send the owner of the saved money debit alert for account maintenance  Grin Is that not appalling?

People have moved on from saving in fiat but to hodl in btc or other crypto for margin profit and just about now the price of btc is $64k while altcoins are also increasing. This is life changing for the visioneers who have seen the possible bull run during this season of halving to invest to get away from the limitation of financial freedom.
417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stake.com - unethical practices on limitting losing players on: March 04, 2024, 10:43:14 AM

I understand limiting winners but doing this to someone who's lost a lot feels wrong.


If there is a rule that limits winners as they are winning then try to keep winning so that you won't see anything wrong with that rule because you will be in good mood and take it as fun since your balance is increasing with your winning profit  You are seeing it to be against you now or wrong to you because you want to be allowed more playing time to play probably you think you will win back your losses but don't always believe luck is like that.

With this, if casino has such rule then it won't have to respect any player on it rule to bend on it against others because some other people would have passed through that rule but they moved on.

Therefore, give yourself time and play by the rules of the casino. Don't believe in your self that something has been done wrong to you because you have been a casino customer for some time. Casinos have there rules that they expect all players to know about and you can know that when you read and digest it so that you know before hand how to handle those rules or you will know immediately when that limitation happen to your account.

I think that is a way to caution a player on losing control of their gambling. That casino limit a player that is winning is understandable but if that is the rule that reaching a particular playing time deserve that the account will be limited for such time, it is unfortunate that it happened to you but it is for the purpose of helping the gambler to take a break and control their gambling speed.
418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler on: March 04, 2024, 08:19:27 AM

i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.

One thing about gambling like they say is that it is luck base. I don't regret certain actions that is taken about gambling. That which you are regretting might have turned out that you will lose all of the money you staked with but however, it is better to also follow the slogan of betting what you can afford to lose so that when you lose it you won't regret it. For example this is another twist to it, if you had left the money with that feeling of whatever the outcome will be then you will be satisfied because you have bet with an amount you want to forfeit, then perhaps you would have left it and that outcome would have favoured you.
419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 04, 2024, 06:49:47 AM
Well the instant results which is the peculiar style with casino makes it intriguing and makes your pulse rise, maybe that is why I may also want it because it looks like more fun like the visual soccer too. The sports game actually looks like betting where you stake and have some time for the results to accumulate after the games especially for multiple betting.

I like the sports kind more especially football that gives you time to analyze the games and you get more knowledge of what is happening in the game of football and soccer at large. Sports gives you the opportunity to be able to know the game and you can develop a skill from the game like being a sports analysts. I have heard stories of gamblers becoming football analysts.
420  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 03, 2024, 10:06:21 PM

Am not saying saving isn't good, but my point is saving doesn't make one wealthy, the worst advice we recieve is  'save for tomorrow' but only few lay emphasis on the need to 'invest for tomorrow'.


Yeah not much have been said about the saving for tomorrow because quite a number of people accepted it that way and also tried to save that way. In fact back then you are valued according to how much you have in a bank but not anymore. I think the phrase should be invest for the future because every thing is now on the fast lane especially the value of fiat which is no longer having average profit when you keep it in the bank because of inflation.

The bet is to let your money stay in cryptocurrency because it is has that increasing value from time to time and yet retain your number of unit in the coin. For example currently the price of bitcoin is rising and that means whoever is having whatever quantity in his wallet, it will be experiencing a lot of increase at the moment until this season comes and go. This is the experience with having to convert your savings into crypto and hodl rather than leaving it with the bank that uses the money for business and don't pay customers better percentage as they make use of their funds.

So currently, keeping money in cryptocurrency is more profiting than leaving it in fiat as savings.
