Re: much money in the foodball and in general in life is a 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?
everyone is looking for the money and in the society anyone without money has no respect, as of now the ultimate goal here on earth is to serve God then secondly is the goal to pursue money, as money is a necessity of life. people dont care how the money is made if they overlook people honor and loyalty.  football is a business just like other businesses. and anyone can take a decision by leaving their current club and going to a well paid club without minding the effect it wall cause to the team they are leaving. everyone is looking for an opportunity while they are still young and  useful. if that stage has passed, such opportunity may never come. it also gives the player the opportunity to discover the best in them and being recognized by the world

actually it may or may not be possible this year end, i have deliberated this in deferent thread that bitcoin is volatile and unpredictable which means anything can happen but am not certain of $150k by the end of this year, but $150k is less of the expected price but we hope for bitcoin to be positive by the end of the year.

next target for bitcoin is 250k

most probably by the end of this year

i am positive that bitcoin will reach 250,000
you are really funny dude Grin i think you should speculate a more reasonable price. we all know that bitcoin can not hit $250k this year even by next year we are not even certain.

Despite the benefits of just gambling alone, there is also the beauty of gambling with other people that is undeniable. In this context, do you still prefer gambling alone?
i prefer gambling alone even though there is fun gambling with other people. there is privacy in gambling alone. it makes you to be focused in making prediction on like when with friends. it avoid enviness and jealousy from friends. it protect you from risk of people spreading your habit across the environment. because most guys can stake heavily and lose in private place without anyone knowing, but when with friends, if such amount is lost they will bully you or spread the news of your failure, and amount stake at lost t to the community. this will somehow ruin your reputation in the neighborhood. that is why private gambling is good.

Re: No Amount is Affordable in Gambling
by
Samlucky O
on 25/07/2025, 01:34:57 UTC
We are used to say that a gambler should gamble with an amount he can afford to lose but in the actual sense do we think there is any amount a gambler can afford to lose?
surely there is an amount a gambler can afford to lose. this amount is usually am amount that when spent, it doesn't feel like anything has left you. for example if you  bet $1 game on an accumulative game of 500odd and lose, it will not be effective as a game you stake $1000 for 2 odd and lose. i think when they talk about an amount a gamble can afford to lose is this type of compearism. although i know that no amount is a waste or too small, but in this case of $1000 and $1 it is surely nothing.

When a gambler places a stake what he sees is not the stake but the potential win. This is why when he does not win he panics regardless of how little the stake is and he will always mention the potential win rather than the stake as the amount lost.
i understand the point, but the fact is that if a gamblers lost, he may think about the potential return instead of the bet amount itself. but when he come into realization that he lost a small stake instead of big stake, he will use that to console himself. and secondly those gambler who does that are the type that put so much hope on a game yet to play. if not on a norms a gambler is not suppose to put his mind on an outstanding game that is yet to play, as if he is sure its going to play

We all know that Bitcoin is a speculative asset, so there is no point beating your chest as if you have a prove that it will hit $150k. Bitcoin will do fine before the Q4 of this year and I am not optimistic about the price by then, but we may see a reasonable price.

Re: The "Lottery Ticket" Mentality
by
Samlucky O
on 24/07/2025, 16:20:45 UTC
There’s nothing wrong with betting on a long shot though. It’s likely a lot more likely to win than a lottery ticket.
most times the only mentality you need here is taking risk. You dont really need to know much about Team A or Team B. Once you see the odd, you take them and probably wait for the result.
i largely agree with you on this, gambling is all about risk, so being too much careful of making selection may result to becoming confuse of which team to select. but taking the risk and letting go of some stress and chilling off will be the best thing to do. most times risky game are more likely to even play than a more careful game prediction.

Hard to remember completely, but I think there was a time I picked a random high odd, I am certain it should be a random outcome on the underdog. The funny thing is that I didn't bother to check the result because I was not hoping on it. Not until 2 weeks I found out that I won the bet.
funny enough i once played an odd game like that,  about 3 to 4 games of high odd which i knew it is not possible to win, that if it can win will be by luck, but the result surprised me because 3 out of the 4 played and 1 cut my ticket. so such risky games can play but its hard to see such wining.

Re: What is been professional like to you?

on 24/07/2025, 16:02:41 UTC
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?
to me there is nothing professional in gambling than predicting a possible outcome, and wining is repeated back to back. or a person that predict at least %80 of games and the result is visible. a professional must be able to do something exceptional that others find difficult to do easily.

I have always win less, no reason to lie but I get curious when I see gambling related posts online about people pointing to some gamblers calling them professional and the only vital point of this all is because they won many times in their own way.
of course those people that are pointed as professional gamblers has past records of prediction of more possible win than lose.

Re: What has peer pressure made you do??

on 24/07/2025, 15:49:29 UTC
What made me bring up this discussion is because many kids and adults have found themselves in a bind just because they succumbed to peer pressure and don't know how to get out of it. So I want to know; what has peer pressure made you do and for those who overcame it before they found themselves being a menace, what did you do? Let's relate.
according to your question that what has peer pressure made me do? answer: it made me me to participate in what ever event any of us had, and we where into playing games together drinking alcohol and all that. but the one funny thing about life is that nothing is  permanent in life. as we grow up we start having different mindset and traveling to find greener pasture, making it possible to separate from each others. so talking about how to overcome it is very easy. because you have already said that this often happen between teenagers of 10 to 14 years meaning that it can never last forever because when you are a man you can be able to take decisions on your own and not being forced. so maturity of taking personal decision or traveling from your current location can help overcome it.  right now most of my peer groups are all married , so how can we keep doing those things again why we have responsibilities to cater for? it is very easy my friend.

Re: What Does "Being Rich" Even Mean Anymore?
by
Samlucky O
on 24/07/2025, 14:41:20 UTC
I used to think being rich was simple: big salary, nice car, maybe some Bitcoin. But as I grow up, I am not sure anymore
becoming rich is easy to say than done. we all hope to become rich but the question is who is ready to pay the price the rich does? i believe we all once hoped and expected it till date even as we have not yet become one. to be rich requires to first have the mindset of a rich person then putting it to work. but if we dont put it to work then dream will become wishes.

In some countries, the numbers are enormous (such as Singapore, Switzerland), and yet everyday life is stressful: long working hours, high rent, and a lack of free time. Meanwhile, other countries such as Norway and Germany are working on making life easier to ordinary citizens: less work, more leisure time, healthier, more trust
working in a country that is stress free in their modules operandi, does no make you rich, or makes life comfortable for you. as a matter of fact working for a company is even a way of slowing down your capacity in most cases. self employment is more important to me than working in some company that claims to do better for you while milking you quietly.

So I ask you:
- Has your life changed with the "growth" of your country?
i cant really tell if life has changed as i thought due to the current economic situation in my country, but i am doing better than before.

- Do you feel more secure, or less?
i feel secure even though there is hardship in the economy. but the fact is that i dont totally depend on the economy for everything.

- If you could choose, would you want more money, more time, or more trust in people?
of course everyone needs more money and will need time as well but that of having more people is what i dont think its necessary, i prefer to have less friends with good impatation than more frends with less or no trust or impactation.

As a cryptocurrency person for naija, one of our major alternatives most especially for those of us from bitcointalk naija local boards, our major alternatives na either gambling or trading with bitcoin or other coins.
Yeah that one fit be true but no be everybody dey into trading or gambling but some. Some dey into other physical investment wey dem dey do to make money, And no necessarily be trading or gambling

Aside from the fact that this two can give you possible high profits within a short period of time, both can still lead to major loses na why we advice make you do them with money you fit lose.
Exactly my point. That is why person no sopos put am for consideration at first because this same thing don wreck a lot of our young 9ja people, and Dem dey even struggle to comot insider, so I no fit even advise person to try am.

So how e be for you, using bitcoin or cryptocurrency to gamble and trade, as source of alternative income, as a Nigerian bitcointalk member?

Me I no dey that line o because I no how risky e dey. If na Bitcoin investment e for better but Trading or gambling I no fit advice my follow person to do am considering the risk wey dey involved except say the person fit bear the risk.

Re: Reason I prefer saving my money in exchange to Bank
by
Samlucky O
on 23/07/2025, 01:30:02 UTC
The truth of the matter is that you can not completely rely on exchange for the sake of bank frustrating you. Don't forget too soon that keeping money in exchange is also completely a risk because you don't have full access to that fund. Exchange according to how the name implies means centralized exchange (CEX) Meaning you don't have total control of your coins. You don't have privacy because if anything should affect that exchange, it directly affects your fund. Instead you should prioritize decentralized (dex )over cex. Because it deals with privacy. And secondly you don't make use of the seed phrase in exchange rather the exchange has the seed, while you make use of passcode.

Re: Why some countries gamble more than the others?
by

on 23/07/2025, 01:11:24 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.
I understand your point or the angle you are driving at, although it may be true that most countries that have laws
Protecting their ppl players to Gamble in those area does given them the privilege to gamble above other countries. Don't be even surprised that a country that has a regulation that prohibits it's citizens from gambling may even be higher in population when it comes to Gambling. You never can tell though but you are just guesting without a real fact. It's just like saying that those that are rich can gamble as they like because they have the money, without knowing that a poor person may even gamble higher than a rich man because he want to make money by all means and doesn't care how much he is able to spend to make the money. While in other hands the rich may be very careful not to lose his wealth to Gambling and or betting.

Re: Does the novelty wear off?

If you are extremely rich and you can just gamble up to your heart's content, does the novelty of winning wear off? Like would you get tired of gambling since there's really not much risks because you can gamble with any amount and still receive little to no consequences?
Being excessively rich does not mean that a person can not go broke trying to gamble and thinking there is no risk. As a matter of fact you even need to be more careful when you are rich because the higher the money the higher the moral to increase your bet at once. Just ask oshosondy has asked you that haven't you seen the rich becoming broke? Yeah actually most rich men become broke as a result of gambling and they never know gambling could brought them down because they thought the amount they have can not get exhausted little did they know that greed can make a person deployed a martingale theory and lose all within the twinkle of an eye. so gambling should not be underated despite the money you have as it can ruin you.

Re: Ensuring generational wealth
by
Samlucky O
on 22/07/2025, 20:02:09 UTC
I hear a lot of young people wishing they can build generational wealth for their kids. The kids of their kids and the kids of their kids' kids. But is it really up to us? We can build wealth now and leave all our assets to our kids but how can be sure they can protect the wealth and make it grow even more?
This is a very important question, and many people who want or wish to transfer wealth to their next generation need to ask themselves before giving it a second thought. We can see in the society today that a lot of children has lavished all their assets passed to them as inheritance due to lack of financial management. And this should be put into consideration. A wealth without a good plan for who next to succeed it, is equal to a waste effort or waste wealth. I watched a movie recently where a rich man told his children that his going to will all his property to the orphanage home, Simply because his children don't know the worth or value of money due to the way they spend his hard earn money. He told them that until they begin to work for their money and know what it feels like to make money for themselves without his wealth, only can he change his mind to will his property to them. So there is a lot of kids without proper knowledge of how to manage finance. and they go broke too quickly because they are not rich in mindset.

Honestly the best thing we can do is to teach our kids and hope that all the things we got to accomplish for them won't be put into waste.
Honestly I think this is the best thing to do for them, otherwise you will train bollars that will blew up all your investment that took you lifetime to secure.

Re: Body positivity / Fat acceptance

on 22/07/2025, 06:50:12 UTC
Fat people are simply not care with themselves and they want to make other people's life harder, even though they can also make other people's life easier (they eat a lot and need few tools to improve their life, so people who sell those things are making money).
I don't even think that all fat people are food consumers or simply the amount of food they eat is the real cause of there situation. Most of them have natural fat in them and no matter how less they eat they still find themselves getting fats except they do some walkout or go to the gym to burn some calorie, otherwise they will still get fat.

I can understand why some men are fat, because men's value are on the money, not the body.
That's actually true, men Worth are measure on humility and self respect coupled together with money and not their body. A man that that is fat could just be natural as well as the woman in some cases but majority of fat men is as a result of being a foody type.

While women, one of their value are on their body, so if the women are fat, it means there's something wrong with them.
It may not necessarily be that something is wrong with them but just a natural phenomenon. But of course some have problem. Sometimes women when not married they will keep to fit to get a man attracted but after getting married they no longer think of  talking care of their body because they thinks it's no longer important afterall they are married. Some develop this body after given birth.. So the case is that woman are liable to get fat easier than men because they have so much  hormonal changes than men.

Re: Drinking vs Gambling

on 21/07/2025, 16:29:45 UTC
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?
I don't think alcohol is the only thing that has ads nationwide, gambling ads are everywhere. maybe I am the only one seeing it, but if you take a close look, you will realize that gambling ads and alcohol are everywhere. I don't know about your country but in country I even notice gambling ads more often than alcohol.

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?
I don't know why you keep emphasizing on alcohol in comparison with gambling, but if we want to throw more light on that, we can also relate that in gambling shop, it is stated that
1 gamble with your spear money.
2 gambling age is 18 years and above.
3 gamble responsibly


But people often neglect this rules and still gamble, so what then do we call it? So if you ask me, I will say thesame thing applicable to alcohol is also in Gambling. And gambling is even more addictive than alcohol because it involves losing huge amount of money within some minutes of your time.

But ever since that win, it kinda feels like I’m slowly giving the money back. Been losing around $10 a day for the past week. I’m still in profit, but honestly, I’m starting to lose the excitement. The game doesn’t feel the same anymore.
Then you have to take a break. Gambling on Casino can be addictive and when you noticed you are given back the money to the house, then you have to call it a quite for sometime before you can start again. Don't allow your emotion or greed to take over otherwise when you lose this money to the Casino you will regret of not calling it a quit and withdrawing your profit. Maybe if you withdrawal %70 of your bankroll and left with %30 maybe you could reduce your stake per day and it could take a long to burn the little you have because large bankroll can be deceiving, making you to think you could win as much as possible when you have enough, not knowing it's a dead trap to lose all too quickly.

Re: How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?

Many users claim that they play for fun. At the same time, they do not hide the fact that all the money is lost one way or another, quickly or slowly. If you are losing money, then how can you enjoy it?
Sometimes it baffles me to see how people claim they enjoy losing, calling it fun. And it make me wonder sometime if people really know the meaning of fun but in most cases people interpret gun in their own way.

I could never understand this. I would understand if a person said that now I am losing, but during the game I am learning and developing a strategy and a game system, and also testing this system during the game. In other words, you can play for research purposes and, losing money, enjoy the anticipation of future wins, since you have a promising strategy and a good consistent game system. But people generally do not play for research purposes.
Definitely anyone who doesn't play games for research porpose or learning a  strategy for future win then surely there is no fun when he is losing, because to every experiment there should be something to learn at the end .

People just place bets more or less randomly, lose money and claim that they enjoy it. Is this stupidity or deceit? Maybe such people like the atmosphere of the game? But then why not play free games? But no, gamblers rarely play free games?
I just think people are deceiving themselves or probably then don't know what fun really mean. It's better people gamble free demo games than placing bet with real money and lose and yet happy about it.

This doesn't only happens to a person who is winning, it also happens to a losing person. Meaning that if often happens in two ways, when we are on a wining strick, we often feel like wanting to win more out of greediness and this make us not to sleep just to make sure we keep winning. In other hands when we are losing we often can't sleep because the urge to chase our loses will eventually cloud our sens of reasoning making us to sleep just to recoup our loses. But immediately after everything ends or whenever bankroll becomes empty then the adrenaline that drives that force will chill off because there is noore driving Force.
