How would you approach a decision like this?
Appreciate any honest thoughts.
Keep your 9-5 and build on your passion through your job by reading books, doing your research, and participating in events  as much as you can after your 8pm to 10pm after work hours. It is going to be a long drive till you can have the still and money enough to quit. But for now, stay with your 9 - 5 to gain experience.

Re: Is it still gambling if you're sure you're going to win?
by

There are event you can predict on that even though it's not 💯 guaranteed that you're going to win,  a level of certainty makes you think that you're surely going to win.

The downside of that feeling is that you might become over confident to use a big amount in the game since you're to a large extent certain that you're going to win.

Can we still say we are gambling if the event is something we are at least 90% sure that we are going to win?
Think about those match fixing games it's fits perfectly into the analogy. Most of those people who bet on the fixed matches already know that they are going to win but they bet anyway, for me, it still counts as gambling as there is already an odd, and some betting stats.

Re: What is your point of no return?
by

on 25/07/2025, 20:03:14 UTC
As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?

a. at least double your money, then stop
b. you only stop when you have lost all your bankroll money and then blame the casino?
c. or you are a superstitions gambler, when you have signs like losing 3 straight in a row, then you quit because you know that you're having a bad luck
d. you stop when you are at least break even

I didn't include chasing your losses as obviously you might to continue.
I stop when my spins have been exhausted. It doesn't matter whether I lost or won.. As soon as my spins are out, I am out. No other thing on the list counts. Those you did those still lost more than they would if they just stopped when their spins (in casino) finished.

Re: Be careful with nostalgia

Sometimes an old athlete may want to come back for some special match. Some bettors might still bet on him despite of old age and lack of recent experiences in the sport. That is because of what we call nostalgia. They might recall the past memories or past performances of the athlete that may not necessarily reflect the recent performance of the athlete. So be careful when betting because you might just be nostalgic.
I remember when Manny Pacquiao came back to fight someone, I can't remember the opponent's name after many years of hanging his gloves. Many people believed that he was going to win based on experience while some others believed that the younger opponent was going to win based on his age and speed. Manny lost that match and to people who bet on him, they also lost their monies. This is a typical example.

Quote
Manny Pacquiao returned to the ring at age 46 and fought to a majority draw against WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Two judges scored the fight even, at 114-114 and the third judge scored it 115-113 in favor of Barrios.

Re: No Amount is Affordable in Gambling

The money he can afford to lose is expendable income. And that is if it is actually that one.. It is not that you are wasting it on something bad but that it is going into something where the outcome is very random.  If you have created a budget already, it will be clear to you what you from it what amount you have dedicated to gambling which is recommended should be around 1% of your income. It is not the anxiety of losing that causes those panic attacks. In my estimation, what causes those attacks are the thoughts of wanting to win so bad that when you lose, it sacres you. Winning brings happinness but losing is almosy equated to failure.

Re: Should I depend solely on Bitcoin?
by
Davidvictorson
on 24/07/2025, 21:28:55 UTC
A friend of mine just got into Bitcoin, lucky for him, his successful. Before he started Bitcoin, he was actually into a good business of selling artwork which wasn't so bad. So he got introduced to Bitcoin and had a quick success. It's actually a good and exciting thing to see someone progress fast like that, but he quit selling artworks and other little businesses that kept him going he stopped, he now depends fully on Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the king no doubt, but From my Point of view I think that depending fully on it might be risky to you financially. I don't recommend anyone to depend solely on Bitcoin or any single asset. Bitcoin can fluctuate rapidly and market volatility might impact your financial stability. It is actually very risky to invest in a single asset. The part that scares me the most is that my friend has put all his resources into this one asset. If am wrong please correct me. Thanks
I am trying to think about what you mean by he depends solely on bitcoin. Is your friend a bitcoin trader? Does he do bitcoin lending and gets interests? Because to the best of my knowledge, those who can depend on bitcoin fully without doing anything else are the whales. Those who are called the early adopters. Aside from that, if you don't have any other side hustle and depend on bitcoin when you do not fit into this profile then I doubt it is going to be sustainable. I stand to be corrected as this is my POV from my experience. If you think otherwise, please enlighten me.

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?
by
Davidvictorson
on 24/07/2025, 19:31:31 UTC
1. Support from the government.
Countries who gamble a lot has solid laws protecting their players so gamblers in those countries can just freely gamble as much as they want without having to worry about their rights. This doesn't mean that the countries have very free and loose rules but it just means that they have clear frameworks. Some other countries have some limitations but since their rules are clear, many still gamble.
Gambling is a big source of revenue and employment for countries and that is why they do their best to ensure that it is a very highly regulated industry. If they don't do that the money that is supposed to go into the covers of the government would be lost and that would be bad for the economic growth of the government of such a country. In terms of the employment it offers,  many people get employed and paid and the money ends up getting into circulation in the economy.

Re: much money in the foodball and in general in life is a ruin

I'm making this post as a light Atalanta fan after learning a few days ago that Mateo Retegui has decided to leave for Saudi Arabia to get more money.

I don't want to generalise but I think that money, seen as an end, as a good, is the ruin

Money is useful, let's be clear, it is useful for everyone but to think that it is the goal to be pursued by overlooking people or honor and loyalty is something squalid
What do you think about football?
When you play in football money is very important. Some people I mean players are not looking to win awards rather they are looking to have more money and that is fine.  I do not think that we should judge anyone by what club did decide to move to need our should we try to guess them motivation for it because we need the wrong.  What I can say is that we should enjoy the game of football and allow the players to do the same too. It's their choice.

Re: What is been professional like to you?

Is been responsible with gambling all it takes to be a professional gambler or someone needs to win in the process many times already to be considered a professional gambler?
This is just like asking a taxi driver that because they drive does it make them a Formula 1 driver? That you Gamble responsibly does not automatically qualify you to be a professional in gambling. I do not know how else to explain this but I hope this point is clear.

Quote
What is a been qualified as a professional gambler in your own world? The winning part or the responsible part of trying to avoid addiction is all.
A professional gambler in my estimation is one who is like a pundit. He gambles and finds a way to make money from other gambling related activities.

Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: World Cup Qualifiers - CAF.

The Super falcons are really Super and fantastic, on and off the pitch they’ve shown that are great people, they showed great love and  support for their opponent player, South African Gabriela Salgado who got injured in their last semifinal match. She had undergone a successful surgery for her leg, and the Falcons visited her with a signed Nigerian Jersey.
Good work by the Ladies, doing good on and off the pitch. Wishing the SA player Gabriella Salgado a quick recovery and to the falcons I say bring the cup home.
That is the spirit of sportsmanship being exhibited right there. It is not about winning because today it has happened to their opponent. Tomorrow, it may be one of our own. The Falcons deserves the win. They make me more confident for them in their next match and even in winning the cup. Good luck to them in the next games.

Re: The Ultimate Scarcity

Time spent on a specific work will or should result in a good or decent amount of money in exchange.
There's a popular saying in my country that time is money and I couldn't agree more. We all know this that's time spent on a tax is directly proportional to the money which is charged for that tax. For example, I just learned that someone a software engineer is going to be paid a huge amount of money for the next three years by Meta. In my estimation, that pay is for the person's time that is why, the more experienced a person is which is equivalent to time spent over the years on their craft, the higher their pay.

Re: France Wants People to Work More for Less

on 23/07/2025, 23:38:47 UTC
What would you do when your country attempted this? Would you work more days for the same money? Do you believe it does any good?

Or is it just another method of old systems to transfer the pain to ordinary people, and to pretend that things will be better soon?
I actually thought that the days for working would be reduced so that people can focus on your mental health and be more efficient and productive in the organization. But now that's the government of France is proposing this Demi have a mental health crisis waiting to occur.  If this happens in my country we wouldn't do anything because the government would use the secret police to arrest you and silence you. The government should listen to the voice of the people.

Re: What is the cost of your mistakes?

So, how much did your mistakes cost? Did they cause you a serious psychological blow? What were your mistakes, did you learn from these mistakes and do you apply this knowledge in practice now? Were these mistakes simply painful, dramatic or catastrophic?
I don't mean to sound like a self-righteous person but the costly mistakes and gambling is the one that I learned from watching someone who was our dictated to gambling and would later commit suicide due to is inability to quit and the damage it has done to him psychologically and financially. He couldn't even bring himself to terms with himself. It was all sports betting. Yeah, I learnt from him and I still remember watching his lifeless body handing from his ceiling it was pathetic.

I believe strongly that the Nigerians Falcons will beat their South Africa counterpart tomorrow. They are doing well both in the continental level and the global football level. The Super Falcons has not done bad in this Tournament. And tomorrow we are going to see another wonderful game. Pulse new has break down the performance of Nigeria Super Falcons.
I am indifferent. I prefer that the super Falcons over estimate the ability and capacity of their opponents so that they can tie up any loosed ends than to do the other way around. The Super Falcons should simply forget about about their past wins and play the match like, this is the first one. They are going to face a very strong opponent that has a very strong record just like them, this should be what they should look at tomorrow. Good luck to them tomorrow.

Re: Would you allow your underage kid to use your detail for KYC after a big win.

As a parent to the child, can you allow the child to use your details to pass KYC verification, if asked? And if you do that, does it also mean that you are supporting underage gambling?
As a parent, of child should ask to use my details to pass KYC verification for a casino, then I would consider myself to have failed not just in my role but also as a father.  As long as you live under my roof gambling is banned. It is not even debatable.

Re: Have you been addicted to gambling in the past.
by
Davidvictorson
on 21/07/2025, 21:34:36 UTC
On this topic I would respond thus based on my experience watching others and extensive conversation with other gamblers
1. If you notice you are getting addicted to gambling, if you can control yourself to stop for some days, it is still in the earliest stages where you can easily quit on your own. If not, talk to your best friend to help you out. They don't need to be a therapist, they just need to care about you.

2. Addiction can last for several durations, depending on how soon you notice it and decide to take action against it. Gambling addiction will persist for a  longer time, if you choose to continue to live in denial of it.

Re: Why are you taking profit on bitcoin?
by
Davidvictorson
on 20/07/2025, 17:00:10 UTC
Why you shouldn’t take profit is:

1. Using the money to actually spend it on unnecessary luxuries (emphasis on unnecessary, as there is nothing bad to get some luxury for your self).
This is the exact reason why I should take profit. After all my years of holding, I should be able to spend some of its yeild on some vanities that will make me a little happier. You know that anything can happen and it would be a bigger regret if something happens like I lose everything and didn't even get to spend a small piece of it on something that I love.

Quote
2. ⁠It is wrong to take profit and abandon it on fiat currency, that’s going from an asset with a store of value to one with devaluing characteristics.
Again, this is not wrong depends on what I plan to do with the Fiat. It is not white or black, you know. Our needs are different and so are our plans. So long as you don't withdraw everything to fait then, do what you must.

Re: How quickly do you forget a loss

on 20/07/2025, 16:39:42 UTC
Honestly forgetting about a loss is hard especially a loss that happens after you've chased a loss. More reason why you should not gamble irresponsibly. My estimation um if you are is all it takes for me to forget about a loss and to do this I always stay busy, that is a trick. If you don't give your mind something to think about and your hands something to do your mind would always ruminate over the loss and it is absolutely, pointless. Stay busy.
