Re: Proof that gambling may ruin any career when greed takes over
by
Onyeeze
on 25/07/2025, 22:29:07 UTC
Untamed gambling habits can ruin people, I don’t know how athletes who are earning good sum of money engage in gambling that can cost them their entire career.
But I believe it is not proven yet, I am just assuming. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt for now.
what ruin peoples life in gambling is lack of plans, when you have a times table or plans for gambling it will never ruin our life, because in gambling what is necessary is a greedy control, which can be called emotions control, most of us today who has lost many of their belongings in the gambling do lost those things because of greediness, they wanted to accumulate profits, so gambling we have to make use of our initiative when gambling so that we will not feel remorse when we gamble and lose what we stake, for me gambling needs budget and everyone who is into gambling needs to have a particular budget on gambling

Re: What Does "Being Rich" Even Mean Anymore?
by
Onyeeze
on 25/07/2025, 22:04:23 UTC
For me, being rich means having freedom like being able to do what you want, enjoy time with your family and not stress about money.

if you define being rich as just having a lot of money but you can't even enjoy it or spend it freely, then what’s the point?

Some people have all the money but live in fear, can’t walk around alone, always worried about getting robbed.
That’s not real freedom, and honestly, I don’t consider that truly being rich.
I don't understand what we mean by be rich, for me I seems richness as someone who can afford to buy anything that he or she wants, I'm not after luxury for me to know that I'm rich, I see everyone who can pay their bills like people who are rich, we have different categories of richness, average richness and supper richness and luxury richness, so if you can afford what you eat and have shelter and have small car you are on average, but if you have all these I mentioned and can dash some to people out of love and willingness you are super rich, luxury rich is who have sectors for employment and sponsors other people and have unique luxurious things

If anyone don't understand this basic thing such as budgeting then they should not be in business or have anything to do with finance. OP you did a good job but have honestly post like this are basic, this type of post will have a good fitting for  beginners and help. This is a vast forum and the economy board of the forum talking about very basic thing like this that is obvious as day light is a bit cringe.
what op figures out is our problems in normal day life, because I know very well that without budget you can't achieve anything, do you know that so many of us who is in forum earning every week, they're people who will earn what some of us earn in this forum they will become a billionaire in normal life living, but When we earn here we think is not going to make us to be rich, it's wrong planning that makes most of us not to utilise this opportunity, so I believe that we need to apply what op says in a day life, budgeting and planning works hands to hand, and if we fails to plan we'll it left for us.

Re: Investment is for everyone
by
Onyeeze
on 25/07/2025, 21:25:39 UTC
Hearing testimonies from different sources, I can only conclude that "You don’t need to be rich to invest, but you need to invest to be rich." Riches aside, investment can increase your financial freedom, but the problem with most people is procrastination, they want this BIG capital to invest, but it is not like that.

From real estate, stocks to crypto, we have seen people buying their assets that were deem worthless, but suddenly became their source of wealth. I remember someone who couldn't afford a land at the city center but wanted to invest. He bought it at a rural area where he could buy over 1 acre. Not long after, the government decided to build a Federal university in that locality. Right now, a plot of land there can buy a plot of land in the city center that he couldn't afford, that is the power of investing.

It mustn't be convenient, it mustn't be in thousands of dollars, a little that is being consistent about and carefully thought through could make that wealth. Start investing today.
Do you know that some people discourage most of us that invest in cryptocurrencies, some people come up with lies and that cryptocurrencies investment is not useful to the poor and is only the rich people that invest in cryptocurrencies, I will tell us that we shouldn't mind them, because of the people who invest in Bitcoin do tell lies about Bitcoin and some too do tell what they don't know, it's obvious that crypto is meant for everyone, especially people who have made a decision to invest for long term, but some people doesn't like to invest unnecessarily and they will like to find reasons why they have to invest on bitcoin.

Re: Drinking vs Gambling

So most countries legalised alcohol but not all countries allowed drinking of alcohol, so I quote you wrong that some countries restrict drinking of alcohol, but it's limited and that's why many people doesn't know that in some countries it's only the foreigners that's allowed to drink alcohol

Btw, example with alcohol legalization, restriction and ban are great examples that all those methods dont work as a solution for addiction. There are countries where alcohol is forbidden, yet people still find where to buy it. Selling alcohol after 8 or 10 in the evening is forbidden, yet people still manage to buy it or drink from supplies.

Anyway, even though alcohol drinkers are more than gamblers, I find gambling more dangerous because its harder to spot addicted gambler and more harder to convince him to treatment. I also think that treatment from gambling is a much longer process.
You know why you are saying that you prefer alcohol and gambling is more dangerous than alcohol, despite that we are all talking the same thing,  they are a risks in gambling and gambling can make away with what we have suffered for long time to get, but gambling can make us to it all, I know very well that gambling is all about risk and it will cripple someone who have not understand the ways further of gambling, because if we understand the way forward we are supposed to know that alcohol is less were gambling is, taking alcohol can't make you to lose your properties but gambling will take every thing you have.

Re: When you're winning you can't sleep
by
Onyeeze
on 24/07/2025, 21:34:08 UTC
I can agree to it because I experienced it before.

I have 2 reasons before:
1. It's either I can't sleep because I am excited about how to spend my winnings  Grin
2. Or I can't sleep because my winnings are not enough and I am still willing to play more, bet more, and expect to grow those winnings.

You are too excited thats why you can not sleep.peacefully but I am not accepted taht you can not  win all the ti.e so many a time we might be loser and it also cant asured us that we might be a gainer but we can spend them wether on the wrong way or not
but sleeping and not sleeping when you are wining in gambling is not something that happens generally like not be sleeping because you are wining in the gambling, so that's what we are supposed to know about gambling, myself when I gamble I do remove my mind for the gambling, because I know very well that gambling is all about risk and if it happens that I will profit from it better for me, and if it happens that I'm not wining I do accept it, I can't because that I'm wining in gambling and I deny myself a good rest no matter how excited I'm I most rest.

Re: Which is more addicting?
by
Onyeeze
on 24/07/2025, 21:21:20 UTC
There are different types of gamblers depending on what they play. Some gamblers are rounded and play all kinds of types possible but there are those who only stick with one type.

For example, one could just play slots while one just sports betting. My question would be which one do you think is more addicting? Slot machines are more rapid and you can play it more consecutively because it is fast unlike sports betting where matches take time. You might get addicted on sports betting more if you enjoy analyzing things and winning it might give you some pride for your skills. Not to mention that if you are a fan of the sport you are betting on, surely you are emotionally invested in the sport therefore would want to follow it and bet on it many times.

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?
gambling is a gambling neither you're addicted in slot gambling games or you are addicted in sports bets all are addiction gambling, if you can control the manners that will make you not to be addicted in the slot gambling, such manners will also make you not to be addicted in sporty gambling, so it's vice-versa, addiction is when you are over committed to a particular thing, so in all gambling addiction are one, provided that it's all about gambling, so we have to understand the facts that gambling addiction is gambling addiction its not matter the kind of gambling we goes into

Re: Dominant forces in the sport

Usually, people bet on the favourite team even though the odds are low, thinking that the chances of winning are higher. Sometimes, betting on the underdog requires courage, even though you have to enjoy yourself.

Chelsea is the underdog with odds of 5.00
PSG is the favourite with odds of 1.78

Which team is more likely to win? Most of you would probably say PSG, right?

But in any bet, nothing is certain. Perhaps the bold fans will bet on the underdog.
Yes I will agree with you, most people bet because of team and especially when the team is defeating much team within the tournament, we don't need to be betting by odds,  but I have seen people who bet because of odd and especially when the odd is low, they will choose a team that have the least odd to win against the team that have a high odds, so they think that it's by odd, Chelsea dealt with PSG and it was unbelievable to so many people, it's not odds that grants winning but the players only that guarantee wining

Re: Is There No Good Side Of Gambling?
by
Onyeeze
on 23/07/2025, 22:12:38 UTC
Most of the posts I have come across here in the gambling section has always centered on negativity about gambling. If it's not about gambling making someone go broke, it will be about one negativity or the other. Sometimes reading the comments in those posts scares me, because of how some people describe their horrifying gambling experiences. This made me to come up with this post to ask this important question; Is gambling really that bad? Are there no good effects of gambling on people? Gambling can't just be all bad all the time. Well if you think it's all bad, why are you still gambling?
in normal gambling doesn't have much good things to talk about, in gambling many things are involved in the gambling, that's we need to understand that gambling have to do with something of bad record, due to massive lost in it, and that's why people doesn't talk good about gambling, in gambling what we need to do is to understand the basics things of gambling, something before we gamble, gambling is something you can't advice your child to do because of the side effects, and gambling is something people doesn't teach another person the methods, so anything you can't teach your child to is a bad thing.

Re: Most Gambling Countries

Here are some information am able to gather after going through a search on the most gambling countries in Africa, am surprised at what i saw, to my greatest surprise, Nigeria being the least among other countries in Africa being listed, when i thought in terms of population and the likes should be the lead, many other underdeveloped countries and having more severe economy problem to have made their citizen found gambling as an alternative to livelihood, because i expected that Nigeria should still leading, which means, in Africa, We are far more better in many aspect.

https://www.geopoll.com/blog/report-betting-in-africa-2024/

This your proof of statistics might be wrong, because they might be doubt, for the statistics to say 65% of Nigerian participants in gambling, it's doubtable, because most population of Nigeria come from the north and I have not seen any northern who gambles especially their youths,  so if census is being done to get the statistics accurately I don't think online statistics will give us what we wants, because I know very well that gambling is all about something they don't teach anyone, assuming the statistics is pointing at 40% I will agree because many people in Nigeria doesn't gambles and people that gambles very will in Nigeria are the southerns in Nigeria

Why is it that alcohol ads are everywhere and they are easily bought in stores nationwide with only a warning of only drinking moderately and yet gambling is not allowed to be the same?

In roads, there are ads of alcohol. Where funnily enough is you shouldn't drink in. While driving. But still there are big ads and multiple ones in roads about alcohol and the warning that says Drink Responsibly. Does that one warning make it safer?

Why can't we just do the same with gambling? Alcohol consumption is extremely risky not only to the person consuming it but to the people around him. There have been so many cases of crimes due to alcohol consumption. Many people's health destroyed. So what makes it ok for alcohol ads to continue in public but not gambling?
Gambling is different from consumptions of alcohol, and the money spent in gambling is higher than the people spend in alcohol, so gambling will make someone to commit suicide but alcohol can't make you to commit suicide, the reasons why alcohol is better gambling is that, some alcohol will make you to think very fast in brain why gambling will make you to think deeply

So most countries legalised alcohol but not all countries allowed drinking of alcohol, so I quote you wrong that some countries restrict drinking of alcohol, but it's limited and that's why many people doesn't know that in some countries it's only the foreigners that's allowed to drink alcohol

Keeping yourself educated is the most important thing, every other thing is inclusive in this...if you keep yourself educated you'd know how to use your device properly and the things you should avoid in order not to get scammed..scammers use ads to defraud gullible people, its not wise to click on every add that pops up on your screen especially the ones that would direct you to a site asking for your personal information, some are even bugs that can get info your device.
Actually education is what we need, but most of the people that's being scammed are educated, if someone can scam Donald Trump who is a usa president that means nobody is exempted in scam, we have to understand such scenario of scam, the thing is that we have to be careful in anything we do that related with business neither online business or offline business we need to be careful of it, because in investment we have to open our eyes and also read articles that relate with scam

Re: Saving is not enough

Earning money is hard, saving money is damn hard, getting rich and being able to live comfortably is insane.

For me saving just for short term, you can't earn anything and your wealth will decrease over time. People have to take big risk if they want to be rich, if they only take some risk or little risk, it's not enough.

What does big risk mean? it's a risk where you can lost all of the money you invest e.g. start a business, invest in new thing etc.
Nothing on earth is easy as we may think, if we wants to get rich or get poor it lias on our hand, because if we don't plan we'll from the earlier stage I don't think that we will plan we when is too late for us, so every time we see or opportunity we get, I think we have to grab it to become successful, something what makes some people to be poor today should be a mismanagement of funds from their early stage, so if you faill to utilise what you have, time shall come when you will have nothing, that's why people do talk of investment, when you have money you to spread your money to things that will give you return

Too much of everything is bad, and good that you are able to put yourself uncheck, btw what about your friend do you also check to see how far the same negative effect of too much gambling have affected him?

Try and check on him to know his current state and to see if he be needing your help as well, because if your friend is already addicted to gambling and hasn't make up their mind to quite, they still will pause a great risk to you keeping them around.
It's not only checking up him, but also advice him not to allow gambling emotions or trauma to ruin his life, because neither you are addicted in the gambling or not you most at least look for the way forward to minimise your way to gamble, because I know that gambling is all about something of careful but some people doesn't understand it in such manner, but if we misunderstood gambling it's when it have effect on us, I have not hear from any angles that a rich person is addicted in the gambling, it always be the poor, and a poor person mindset to gamble is to make money

Re: Banning gambling, would this solve the problem?
by
Onyeeze
on 19/07/2025, 19:20:31 UTC
I came across news that there’s a senator pushing to ban gambling in our country.

So I’d like to ask fellow gamblers here, do you think this move is justified? Or is it too harsh?

We all know that gambling is addictive by nature. No matter our financial status, anyone can fall into addiction. But is banning it entirely really the only solution?
And what could be the possible consequences if gambling were banned in a country? Can you share some thoughts or examples?

Let’s have an open discussion ...
I depends the harm gambling has caused in that environment, but I know that is not easy to ban gambling worldwide, because I know that gambling is entertainment game that people uses to free themselves from thinking, secondly if gambling should be ban it will be within the senator jurisdiction not something that will affect the country or another country, because gambling is part of something that gives people happiness if I'm not mistaken, so many people doesn't gamble in order to make money but they gamble to entertain themselves from my observations in gambling.
