Hi BTT, I’m writing to apply to be merit source for the gambling board. I have been an active member of the forum since September 2021, and this online community has become a part of my life. I’m a bitcoin enthusiast, and love to see people use bitcoin in their everyday life. I’m also a frequent poster in gambling boards and in the Nigerian local board. I organized the Post Quality Review [Monthly BTC Reward] for my local board to encourage quality posts. We recently had some merit sources approved in my local board, so I will focus most of my attention in the Gambling board.

The gambling board is seen by many members as a “no-good” section of the forum or as a spam board. I want to change the narrative and do my best to improve the gambling section of the forum. I recognize that other members are doing their part to reduce the amount of spam by opening self moderated threads. I have over 700 good reports across different boards of the forum and  I believe that rewarding meaningful discussion with merits will surely increase the post quality of the gambling board.

There are good and interesting topics in the gambling board, and I find many of the members I interact with there are very passionate about what they post but according to Ddmrddmr’s merit dashboard the gambling section is one of the least sections of the forum where merit is distributed.


If I am made a merit source for the board, I believe more members will give more thought to their posts in this section because the gambling board will be a place where they can improve their account rank not just another section to complete their signature post quota.

Here are 10 posts deserving more merits:


1.
Given the odds are x4.20 and x3.00:

Here’s my simple math.. if you bet $50 at x4.20, your total return is $210.
If you bet $50 at x3.00, your return is $150.

If you take the outside bet (even money), you bet $100 and your return is $200.

So, betting on the moneyline in sportsbook is actually less risky and more profitable.

Casinos are included on hackers lists, and they know that employing advanced security measures is the only way to protect their platforms. in fact, based on this article,

statistics from Gitnux show that there were over 261 million attacks on the gambling industry in 2020. Worst of all, the number has increased by 685%, according to the same study.
How Online Casinos Protect Against Cyber Attacks

The same article also highlighted all the casinos are taking to insure their platform and users security, like
Quote
Firewall, Secure Banking Systems, Encryption, Anti-Fraud System, Regular Security Audits

They have to do this because they can easily lose the trust of their players if they are easily hack, so security should be their main priority.

Wow! Shocked
So there is a Fight Night going on this weekend afterall. Most are excited about UFC 317 and can not wait for that one.
Almost missed this from happening as there was no one talking about it and it is very rare to have one happening in Atlanta.
But regardless about not being an overhyped event, it should be alright to keep you well entertained for the dog days going into your summer vacation.

Would you be willing to bet that Lamine Yamal is a symbol of the future of football, on par with CR7 or Messi, or that perhaps we're overestimating him prematurely, since we've seen these cases in the past where a player stands out so much that, over the years, he ends up becoming just another player in the squad.

Another question I have is, do you think the current rivalry on social media is real or just a marketing ploy?

This is a thread where we can discuss, predict or speculate who will win the Prestigious Ballon d’Or. since either Leonel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d’Or this years own has to be the most fiercely contested Ballon d’Or so this create a space for interesting football discussions.

According to https://www.goal.com/en-ng/lists/ballon-dor-2025-power-rankings/bltd009fae5576d751f
Below are the top 20 contenders

20 Declan Rice (Arsenal)
19 Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain)
18 Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
17 Vinicius Jr (Real Madrid)
16 Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain)
15 Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP)
14 Joao Neves (Paris Saint-Germain)
13 Vitinha (Paris Saint-Germain)
12 Gianluigi Donnarumma (Paris Saint-Germain)
11 Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona)
10 Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
9 Pedri (Barcelona)
8 Achraf Hakimi (Paris Saint-Germain)
7 Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Paris Saint-Germain)
6 Desire Doue (Paris Saint-Germain)
5 Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)
4 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
3 Raphinha (Barcelona)
2 Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
1 Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain)


Who will be crowned Ballon d’Or 2025 winner and how will the top ten list look like at the end.

England secures (5) seats in the Champions League next season.

Whoever finishes fifth in the Premier League this season will qualify for next season's Champions League. Possibly Newcastle and Manchester City is on the verge finish 4th or 5th. Luckily both teams need not worry as even the 5th position will be going to the UCL next season.

One thing I have noticed is that everyone can give good information about football and post good quality, but I can't give good information or post good about football and different sports. What medium can I follow to get good information about football matches? If anyone can help me with this, it will be great for me because I am very interested in knowing about sports but I don't have a clear idea about how to know. Also, is there any good app from where I can watch live football games and unique popular games and share good information?
For you to follow up about football you must first develop love for football, then keep watching football this including live matches. You can only know about football when you keep following currently matches and I believe there are sites you could read about them. And for goals update you can also check https://www.livescore.com to follow up matches how they played.

Today in my area the police have succeeded in arresting one of the unscrupulous government hospital employees,
Because the suspect has embezzled $ 9,500, and from the results of the police investigation, the suspect's confession was used for online gambling and personal needs.

This case was revealed after the suspect made a fake report, from the police investigation it turned out that the money was taken by the suspect to gamble and personal needs.
From the results of the investigation.
$6000 is used up for online gambling.
$3,500 is used up for personal purposes.

For his actions the suspect must lose a job/fired from staffing and imprisonment of a maximum of 5 years in prison or fines.

From this case, we all need to remember the wisdom of your economic capabilities, never take it not yours, love your family.
Gambling does not solve your economic problems by taking other people's money.

8.
When I first started gambling around 2015, anonymous casinos and sportsbooks were the norm. Some of you might remember DirectBet - it was huge back then before eventually shutting down.

Now, the landscape has clearly shifted toward regulated platforms. Yet some anonymous options still exist. So I'm curious, where does the community stand today? Would you still choose anonymous casinos, or do you prefer sticking with regulated ones?

9.
1. Don't gamble with an amount that you can't afford to lose.

2. Don't chase your losses because it leads to more losses because tomorrow is another day.

3. Have a gambling budget and time limit for your gambling activities.

4. Gamble for fun and not fod profits because most gamblers end up losing more than they win.

5. Have self control and discipline over your gambling activities.

6. Gambling is a game of luck and not a skill based game or by experience.

10.
So this left me to ask the question does statistics really work in football or it just a coincidence that it happens
Wait, what is the relationship between statistics with a trophy or victory, as far as I know statistics are matters relating to data or knowledge or the results of the previous match one of the soccer teams.

Indeed, in the world of football the history of victory and carrying a trophy often occurs, for example the Brazilian World Cup as far as I know five times brought the World Cup and Germany four times and followed by Italy three times, it happened not based on statistics Or coincidentally, all of that was obtained thanks to their hard work in the world of football, they have the best players several times in the history of history.

Likewise with Tottenham they still have the best players this season, so they can win the trophy, it is all obtained based on the coach's hard work, the team and so on to be the best during the match, not because of statistics.

There are many more posts in the gambling board that deserve merits. I hope my application will be reviewed and accepted.
