Hi everyone!


Here, I invite you to share personal stories about your gambling journey — whether you've had big wins, faced losses or just dabble occasionally for fun.
Or maybe you have strange gambling habits  :D

Whether you're a seasoned gambler or a casual player, your experiences are interesting.

I don't think this space is enough to share my experience. Gambling made me almost drop out from school because I used my school fees to gamble and was denied writing exam. Luckily, those of us who missed out the exam was given another exam to write. This was my worst experience.

Other times, I have failed to cash out due to greed and then I will end up losing everything and wishing I had cashed out. Sometimes I win but it is not commensurate with my loss.

Gambling discussion / Re: How did the gambling life Start?
« on: Today at 09:34:08 PM »
So how did your gambling life begin?

I started gambling the day I saw a friend holding a bet ticket. Out of curiosity, I asked him what he was holding and what it means. He explained and I immediately picked interest because I was already a football fan and so at that point I felt like it's an easy way to make money and from that very moment to day, I am still gambling.

My journey so far is not a roller coaster but giving up is not an option because there are times when I win when I least expected and I am disciplined enough not to be addicted.

In a country where gambling is legal, and there are no regulations about age restrictions

Not true, there are age restrictions regardless of the fact that gambling is legal in some jurisdiction. This not withstanding  it will not be proper to expose students to gambling. Gambling is something personal and so it doesn't affect every student since not all students are involved in gambling. Bringing gambling discussion in schools will only amount to flooding the school curriculum with unnecessary things.

I wont blame the EFCC because they are only being controlled by the government that put them in office, instead of them to be busy going after the financial embezzling politicians, they are busy running after the innocent Nigerians who are involved on making trades thinking they are using crypto as a covering to financial fraud, whereas what the people want is financial freedom, they have seen bitcoin as an alternative means for survival in which governments cannot provide such opportunity for them.

EFCC is independent institution, I'm not sure the Govemment official or top officials are influencing their decisions on this very "Naira" project, it's a simple case of ignorance from the SEC and CBN. The EFCC are only acting on their ignorance decisions on the CBN Governor.

Nigerians are copy cat and they have started following and saying what the US government use to tell their citizens for the reason why they are bringing down mixers, but he twisted it the other way round because he knows that Nigerians don't use mixers. Before cryptocurrency came into massive adoption by Nigerians, was there no terrorists.

If CBN and SEC were going against mixers it would be understandable just what the US Govemment are doing although I totally condemned the fight against privacy but the Nigerian government are fighting the opposite. Going against CEX exchanges is stupidity.

Nigerian Languages / Re: $1 To 1700N. Which way forward?
« on: Today at 12:55:50 PM »
I am still confused why the price is still going up upon all the dreams with Binance and other cryptocurrency exchanges in the country. Presently the price or the exchange rate is USD1 = NGN1564.71 even as this we are still praying for good Nigeria. Last week again President Tinubu said they should extend the Binance Staff detention until the needed information are given. And I don't think Binance is ready to release such vital information to Nigeria Government.
They will look for more people to arrest and more people to blame for their cluelessness, because by now it should be obvious to them that it was not binance or even the naira speculators that they blamed that is the cause of the problem of the naira. They are just chasing shadows and ignoring the real problem, like they do not know it.

It is very embarrassing that one of the detained binance executives is still in custody, it is a shame.

Who else noticed the rapid gain of Naira two days ago on P2p market? Saw N1,100 on Bybit just when I was about to trade , I knew it was false dip so I logged out and came back the next day and it was already 1,480 barely 24hrs. I have the feeling that the FG is about to subsidize the Naira again with our foreign reserves just like old times since they have no solution to offer.

A country surviving on imported goods for consumption will always have a weaker currency. It's a basic economics but the people up there with various academic degree don't even know or care to ask for help.

The EFCC chairman said our crypto are being used to finance the country's terrorism - I couldn't wrap my head round the whole thing because it's kind of weird for someone who has been in the financial sector to think this way. The young people in power are even worse than the old fashioned politicians we criticize daily.

When the SEC and the EFCC positions were appointed, we all thought it was a way to financial freedom for the youths since these positions are occupied by the youths. Instead we're on the knife here.

Some of you are aware of our activities in the area of investigating virtual currency trading and the likes of cryptocurrencies,” Olukoyede said.

“They are potential platforms to fund terrorism. A lot of us don’t understand that. Some of our discoveries during investigation of some of these platforms were mind boggling.

“We thought Binance was a major one. Yes, it was. We are prosecuting them. But there are other platforms we have discovered.

“They used some of these young men. Some of them don’t know that the people who gave them money to trade are people who fund terrorism.”

The anti-graft agency chief also noted that there is a need to adopt technology in tracking money used to fund terrorism in the country

I am anti eth and have been anti eth for years. basically it is not for me. Do I know anything special about eth no. but I believe it lost its way when it left POW. I also think both AMD and Nvidia would like to hurt them for leaving mining. So I feel there is a target on the back of eth. But that is just what I think

I'm not a fan of ETH either because of the fees and congested network, it's kinda free now without those NFT shit that messed up the network. But it's a very good asset to hodl during the bull run for those with with  minimum budget. I see it as a hodl and take profits scheme and nothing more than that. I've never held ETH for more than 6 months.

What's your thoughts on AI coins? You're not a shitcoiner are you?  :o miners hates altcoins by default.

Is it only Naira p2p most of you uses these exchanges for ? Cause I don't understand why many of you already abandoned Binance only because the Naira trading pairs were removed. What about trading and staking?
The boss I no go lie for you as for me na only that feature I dey use am for. Either I use am buy or sell. I no dey use am do another task. And if I dey trade I dey use trading apps to do the trading and not exchange platforms to trade. I never use am stake before sef. But as cryptocurrency enthusiast I need to use all those features so dat wen we dey tok or when people dey tok, at least one can also contribute something. It is good so I will look into that.

You don't necessarily need to be a trader though, wouldn't advice anyone to, cause of the volatility of crypto unless you know what you're doing. Staking is quite easy and doesn't need any special skills, you just have to look for a coin with a good APY and stake for the duration you want and take profits.

OKX offers 30% APY on first time flexible savings for 7 days although I didn't get up to 30% on my first savings.

Well if you must know I still uses binance exchange till now and use it to trade but i can't trade on p2p hence i look for somewhere else to trade my NGN but basically I still my binance app with me and using to do my daily trading, I believe gradually i will become more knowledgeable while trading. I still read some trading tips online to understand how to go about with my trading.

It was a general statement, I was referring to some crypto GEN X

Luckily Chelsea also won, so they can be in 6th place for now, taking advantage of the defeat to Newcastle. Chelsea's recent struggles and development have been quite good. But the possibility of the club rising to 5th position is quite small, because it is still 3 points behind Tottenham and Tottenham also has a high possibility of winning in the last match because it is against Sheffield United. So this season, it is very likely that Chelsea will be in 6th position. Yes, Chelsea, Newcastle, and Man United, failed to hope for the UCL again.

The players and the club needed time to blend together and I think they finally found that chemistry but it's all happened close to the end of the season and finishing in Top 6 or 5th would be a good season after being stuck at 10th for all season. Finishing above Newcastle and Manchester united is a good season.

I've been Poch OUT all season but I'm beginning to have faith in him again, the players are fighting for him as well, maybe  give him 2-3 more seasons.

Does Bestchange offer Bitcoin to NGN (Naira) or Bitcoin to Gift Cards? With the latest Nigerian government onslaught on the P2P exchange marketplace, more than 30 million Nigerians would soon be without a venue to trade, not everyone is aware of DEX or how to use them. If an exchanger on your platform may provide these services, Bestchange will benefit greatly.

Binance and OKX p2p marketplaces are no longer available to Nigerians, leaving just KuCoin and Bybit; it is only a matter of time before the government shuts them down as well.

We're looking for alternative routes....

Yes, we do have exchangers that work in this direction: https://www.bestchange.com/bitcoin-to-wire-ngn.html

And we are always looking to add more Nigerian exchangers. If you know any services in Nigeria that are still working or services that exchange NGN to crypto, feel free to share them with us!

What are the requirements needed to have space on Bestchange exchanger and what are the %?

If.they understand with the government and everything.works smoothly then, I will still use their services because since they have agreed with the government to operate.without manipulating the naira then everything good.
Usually they won't operates anymore without the permission of the government or having to sign agreement with the government in compliance the act of operations. Binance is the best exchange among every other exchanger out there and they have already gain reputation in our country and there is no active youth on social media today that doesn't know about Binance exchange.

Is it only Naira p2p most of you uses these exchanges for ? Cause I don't understand why many of you already abandoned Binance only because the Naira trading pairs were removed. What about trading and staking?

Gambling & Crypto Casinos / Re: STAY AWAY FROM 1XBIT
« on: May 16, 2024, 08:58:54 PM »
In my country, there is no where you will go to that you will not see 1xbet ads. I even thought it is a Nigerian gambling site, but I later knew it is a Russian gambling site. Also most influencers and YouTubers and others are promoting it with their promo code in my country. Is 1xbet also a scam site or only 1xbit? I know that 1xbit does not have good history on Bitcointalk.

1xbet is also a scam casino that ironically looks like it is being used as a front for money laundering (maybe the DOJ should've taken down that instead of Samourai Wallet?). Just go to AskGamblers and look at all the negative topics about it.

It is utterly ridiculous that YouTubers would knowingly promote a scam to their own followers. The only conclusion is that they want to make more money and they don't care how they do it.

Just as CharlesTim has explained, 1xbet is really huge here in Nigeria and well regulated, have their branch offices and are really into heavy promotions. I have an active account which I've used since 2021 with huge balance without any problem. I want to believe it's just a jurisdiction problem, not that 1xbet is generally bad everywhere. All fiat casino are well regulated here in Nigeria.

Utopia project on BTT did something similar recently - paid bunch of members $6 to leave a positive review on their app on Google store to mislead potential honest customers.
It's okay if the project financially stimulates people to test the product and write a short summary. That's ok as long as they do it with different independent users. They can always refuse to pay for an obviously fake review.

It is something completely different when one person sits down and creates several new accounts and has a discussion with himself, creating the appearance of greater activity and interest in a project/product.

No, Utopia only pays for positive ratings and reviews on its new Android app. It's no different than making numerous accounts to shill your product; the only reason Utopia is recruiting random users is that Google discourages using multiple IP addresses for rating.

Only scammers pay for inorganic positive feedbacks in attempt to rug pull.

maybe we can add to group, so every post will moderate but the problem is they will make another account ;D

Rinse and repeat...

I have made dozens of reviews in bitcointalk. They always paid me correctly, and there wasn't an "positive review' obligation.

I think most services even like when you govee constructive feedback, as they can improve.

Reputable  projects on Bitcointalk always try to play within the rules , I've written reviews for couple of projects and got paid wether good or bad but there are desperate projects out there only seeking for positive review and that's always a red flag for me.

Campaign manager is 1 route to go, but the company could also do a review campaign. A manager can help with that as well, but isn't always needed. Companies can research and do this on their own if they have a little sense.

I like reviews campaigns. I have participated in many of them, and sometimes I continue to use the service afterwards

Projects only pays for positive reviews, which is why they rarely assign this work to a reputable campaign manager who will pay for honest ratings (poor or good). I've been offered services like this twice this year from two dubious India-based casinos (which I won't name) to get 100 Indians to leave positive reviews on Google Rate and Trustpilot for $8 each. With instructions to only pay for 5 star reviews. I had to turn it down.

I can easily convince hundreds of Indians to fool millions of Indians, but for what purpose?

Accounts participating in self -shilling should be banned and burn down to the ground.
