1001  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You At Any Point In Time Blame Who Taught Or Led You To Gambling? on: November 21, 2023, 08:23:29 PM
Though for me no one introduced me into gambling just that I saw a friend that plays gamble and wins sometimes then he will take me out where we will chill and enjoy ourselves so i started developing interest and I was now following him to gambling hall then I normally make predictions myself and I win sometimes and lose most times but I just took it as fun since a lot of people were gambling together with me so I just normally have fun doing it and I always scrap out an amount that i will gamble with so as soon as I exhausted the amount I budget to gamble with I will just sit and watch others playing gamble.

It was that same Friend of mine that started regretting when he got addicted to gambling to the extent that he mostly sells his properties just to raise money to gamble so a day we went to gambling hall and he lost his salary at a spot while gambling so he started accusing the person that introduced him into gambling that had it been the person didn't lure him into gambling that he wouldn't have gotten himself involved in it. But for me everything that one does in life is just by choice irrespective of the person that persuaded you into it so it's left for you do accept or decline to it.
1002  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: November 21, 2023, 07:40:06 PM
Trust me there are actually people who consider gambling as something that would change their destiny for good, and instead of setting a gambling limit for themselves, they set a win threshold, in a sense that if their win isn't up to that amount they'll keep playing until they realize they're left with nothing. And in order to meet their win threshold faster they end up making very high stakes couple with high odds which makes it difficult for them to win.

No matter how successful someone is in gambling, it doesn't mean that your life should be dependent on gambling to make ends meet. If someone records some huge success in gambling, the best is to invest on other things that will yield great results in the future. And again for someone that records success in gambling and setting a threshold of an amount you have in target is not a good idea as you might lose everything you won in the quest to reach your desired threshold amount.

I've actually heard of someone who walks into the casino, after playing and almost exhausted his funds but fortunately for him, makes a significant win and instead of leaving the casino with his win, he walks away leaving his money there in the casino just so he can come next time to try to win more. I mean who does that? Gambling is indeed not an investment or something or a kind of a steady income. It's a 50/50 thing, you win sometimes and loose sometimes.

This happens more when someone is addicted to gambling and sometimes it also happens to people that sets a winning target that unless they reach the amount they have in mind that they wouldn't withdraw their money, living money that in won in the casino just to come next time and continue is very wrong as one can't be lucky every time although sometimes leaving ones money in the casino and coming back later may be good instead of continuous playing after a win but none is advisable, it is better the amount being won is withdrawn rather than leaving it in the casino.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Dangerous chasing losses on: November 21, 2023, 07:01:39 PM
Things that every gambler must avoid is playing gambling when they are bored, chasing to return capital and gambling over an excessive time limit.  i have also experienced this, but for now i will not do that again, when i run out of capital that i have set for today, i will stop, i will try to return my capital again tomorrow, because my luck will definitely be different. tomorrow.  The main rule in gambling is don't be greedy and don't chase after returning your capital one day, let it all start again tomorrow. 

I agree that when we continue to chase returns on capital in gambling, it will only make us deepen our losses. However, there is one point that I don't quite understand about "gambling when you're bored".? Because isn't gambling supposed to be done in your spare time? or are we the ones who take the time to gamble...? However, if we have to take the time to gamble, how important is gambling?

I myself also gamble when boredom strikes, where my tasks and work are finished. That's when I felt bored because I couldn't find other activities that could give me pleasure, or just fill my free time. And as long as I gamble, I have never experienced a significant loss.

Well for me I don't think gambling when one is bored is a good idea because most times when we are bored it is believed that one isn't really in the right state of mind at that particular time so gambling at that time may not really work out well more especially when someone is losing a bet because it will make the person to be so unhappy and angry at same time. So gambling should be done at a time when you're in your right state of mind so that even if you don't win you can still be happy and cheerful.
1004  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Luck and skill, which is more important for gambling success? on: November 21, 2023, 01:50:00 PM
Skills only take the lead where it's really needed, how many gambling games can be won with Skill? Maybe poker that's it, and even in poker you still need to be lucky to win, I think gambling is asking for luck more than a skill player, even someone who have no idea about gambling before can decide to start today and he is welcome with good winning, you can also see that many gamblers that are highly skilled still struggles to win from time to time.

Either skilled or not, what I have understand about gambling is that the 99% will always lose money and they 1% will be the lucky ones, if it's all about skill there will be many gamblers who are millionaires today, it's not easy to be a gambler who wins most of his time gambling.



When we talk about skill we are talking about what we learn and know it perfectly that at any time it can be defended very well, now gambling is a game of chance that no matter how you claim to know gambling we still end losing most times so by this explanation we can see that gambling is pure luck that's why it ought to be played for fun so if one gains while gambling it doesn't mean they can be lucky as well next time.

Sometimes, knowing about some ethics like checking from previous events and also referencing the outcome to the current event also helps as it will give an edge to know the procedure to follow in other to win

I think Erik Ten Hag's coaching was a nice change in the early days of the team. But it has changed over time. He may be the source of the team's problems. Since he is the team's problem, it is necessary to consider the possibility of being sent off from the team. Manchester United players must now play more ambitiously for their team, and for this a coach like Mourinho is essential.

Eric Ten Hag is definitely the problem Manchester united is facing now, since his coaching techniques and tactics ain't working anymore the best is for him to evacuate the club rather than waiting for him to be sacked by the club. For me if a coach sees that he isn't making a head way in the club he should rather resign and go to another club, he might even perform better if he goes to another club. Manchester united needs a coach that can align with their way of play so until such a coach comes to the club they might still be finding it difficult to win more matches. Players requires to be in good understanding with their coach before they can be able to perform real good in matches.

This is the main reason I do not like international breaks and games, players tend to be more vulnerable to injuries and this sad incidents is channel to affects the important players that served vital roles on the pitch in  elite teams. Vinicius Júnior is affected, first it was Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois, Anthony Rüdiger, Aurelio Tchouameni, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga and now we have Vinicius Júnior, can Real Madrid be able to keep the top race with the absence of these players? I think Carlo Ancelotti will figure a way like he always do, more reason I respects him.
Agree. It risks players very much, they have no enough time for the rest. Moreover, they will play seriously in the international matches because they play for their country. With the injury of Vinicius Júnior, Real Madrid has 8 injured players. Sadly, almost all of them are Real Madrid main players. I don't know how Ancelotti to dal with this injury problem. With no Vinicius in the from line, Real Madrid probably replace him with Brahim Díaz or Joselu. Or Ancelotti will try to change again the formation and tactic.  Undecided

Though international breaks leads to so much of injuries as most key players of the clubs return back from the international break with series of injuries however, players actually need to turn up and represent her country in international competition as it will boost the players confidence and also the player will receive accolades from his country. The only problem is that I don't know how roughly international competitions has been to the extent that after international breaks players return back to their clubs wounded.

Ajax Amsterdam is having a season away from its former spotlight. The players are not playing well at all. They are having one of the worst seasons in recent years both in the league and the European league. It is impossible not to feel sorry for the situation the team, which is a factory for young players, is in. I hope Ajax recovers as soon as possible.

Ajax Amsterdam is really not in good form since the start of the season but sacking a coach that has helped the team achieve such level of victory in the Eredivisie is not nice at all. Maurice Steijn has led Ajax Amsterdam to a 36 title record in Netherlands, so for him to be sacked simply because he is finding some difficulty in the club wasn't the best decision Ajax Amsterdam would have taken, I mean the league hasn't gone too far yet and there are still more matches to be played of which there might come to a time when the club will start turning around and return back to their winning ways instead of sacking Maurice Steijn, a coach that sacrificed most of his coaching career for Ajax Amsterdam, he would have been given more time to continue and make a difference.
1010  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How Many Child Boards do We asked? on: November 19, 2023, 01:23:26 AM
Well for me , I have already selected an option in the pool which is the naija politics and other discussion because I believe this makes it a little less insulting Grin as having one of your discussion moved to off-topic even if it's in the local board.
Other discussion will make the main local board to very less active, because all non bitcoin related threads are going to be reported and moved to other discussion. Later it will only result to people want off-topic board again. Off-topic board is not insulting but should be for what it should be for.

If other discussion should be created, we still need off-topic board, which would be what will later happen.

I think I concur to your opinion about the off-topic board, normally this forum was created for bitcoin discussion and bitcoin related activities so the main local board should serve for discussion about bitcoin while every other discussion should stand as an off-topic discussion. Navigating through the local board we can see that most of our discussion in the board are centered on politics, society, and the economy, so all of these can serve as off-topics therefore creating a sub board that will stand as a medium to interact and discuss threads that ain't bitcoin related should all be classified as off-topics.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 18, 2023, 05:43:59 PM
I don’t think Ten Hag will be worried about losing his job at this time in the season. Results are turning in their favor whether we think it’s impressive or not. The champions league may be the deal breaker, it will be really bad if they are knocked out of every competition. That will be a red flag for ETH to leave. Jim Ratcliffe will be looking to make some changes to the club, he has already told Ten Hag to sort his issues with Sancho. It’s left to Ten Hag to bury the hatchet with Sancho and do his best to assure the new owner of his ability to deliver

Already Eric Ten Hag doesn't really have much faith in his contract as united coach because from their poor performance so far I think he might be sensing an end to his contract at united. The only thing that can save Eric Ten Hag at this material time is to secure winnings consecutively otherwise am afraid he might be heading his way out of Manchester united.

For me Eric Ten Hag can't really revive Manchester united as his coaching tactics are not in consonant with Manchester united's play pattern. United needs a coach that can understand their play method and put it into practice before they can start recording long time success in the club.

It seems Ancelotti knows that, if Bellingham get injured then he has other options at there, but Real Madrid current situation is not good. Because two other players have also been confirmed have suffered injuries during the international break, although Real Madrid will not face a top team in the upcoming match. Because if according to the schedule they will face against Cadiz, which is a team that is not too strong in La Liga. But even so, the Cadiz team should not be underestimated because in several previous meetings 21/22 the Cadiz team was able to make a surprise them with a draw result.

Meeting a weaker team doesn't mean that the club will not be affected if their key players are injured. No matter how inconsistent or backwards a team is they should never be underrated. Belingham has been of great performance for sometimes now and I think Real Madrid should find a replacement for him on time should incase of injury so that his absence might not be of great concern to his team. No matter how good a player is, making provision for him should incase he isn't fit for a match should be an utmost duty of a coach as they can't rely to comfortably on any players performance as uncertain things are meant to happen. Take a look at Manchester city despite the fact that their key midfielder Kelvin De Bryune has been out due to injury for sometimes now but yet the club is still doing well because they've got replacement for him.
1013  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Never gamble in front of your kids. on: November 18, 2023, 05:21:49 PM
We have to make sure that nothing else can have a bad effect on the children during their childhood. In front of children, if we lose money by gambling and lose money, we sit upset, on the other hand, if we earn money by gambling, we are more cheerful, but it will definitely affect the child. A person who gambles in front of their children may not know how much harm they are unknowingly doing to their children. People who do this should be careful now because years from now when your child asks you about gambling, you will have nothing to answer. Everything has a certain age, it's a different matter if your child becomes interested in gambling on his own when he learns to understand but we need to be careful not to have any negative influence on his development during childhood.

Not a single parent does not want his children to gamble, even if he is a professional gambler and makes a living playing gambling, because it can lead to serious problems. Each of us wants our children to get a good education and find a high-paying job, but unfortunately this is not possible for everyone. Keeping children away from information that they are not ready for due to their age is a very important stage in the educational process.

Though gambling isn't that bad for our kids to know because it's rather they're taught on the advantages and disadvantages of gambling by their parents than to allow them to grow up and be influenced to play gamble by their friends. It is very advisable for parents to teach and educate their children on this that can damage their lifestyle at an early age because if we do that they are going to grow up with what they are taught by their parents and it will make them to understand they dangers that surrounds taking such actions.

For me hiding ones gambling habit from the kids is not to good because whatever thing you're hiding from your kids one day they will definitely find out what you're hiding away from then so when they are aware of things you do that isn't really that good it will enable the kids to abstain from such practices when they are growing up. Even if they are to partake in that habit but they will be responsible in it since they've been taught about the do and don't by their parents.
1014  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Economic challenge shouldn't be limitation to your project on: November 18, 2023, 05:09:17 PM
OP you make sense o but base on the fact that we are making efforts to earn a living and meet up our projects doesn't necessarily mean that we shouldn't have time to also enjoy ourselves or rather go out with friends to have fun. Inasmuch as life is concerned, we should not be too attached to anything that will deprive us from taking good and appropriate care of ourselves all in the name that we want to meet up life obligations.

Some persons due to the fact that they are handling a project or rather making investments, the deny their selves good and healthy lifestyle simply because they have a target, ofcourse we all have targets in life but we should also know that the most important need of human is the daily bread, inasmuch a man can provide food for himself and his family every other thing comes after.

We should understand that we didn't create ourselves and nobody can predict exactly how the future is gonna be so we should be able to do things at our own reach and not go extra miles to please ourselves or anybody. Am not saying that we shouldn't invest, investments is very important because the investments we make today stands as a relief to our future generation as they will not struggle too much to meet up life obligation since we've already set a path for them.
1015  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: November 18, 2023, 09:59:58 AM
If you look at strength, PSG is indeed much stronger, but this season PSG is often inconsistent and so is Monaco, this is the same team that is inconsistent in my opinion, so anything can happen.
While the smaller odds for PSG are indeed feasible because the winning percentage is greater for them because it all looks at the team's strength.

For the whole of this season, even though PSG is inconsistent, I don't see any strong competition from other teams to stop PSG from winning Ligue 1 because other teams are also inconsistent, so no one can take advantage of PSG's underperformance to leave them on the standings.

Though PSG may not seem to be consistent but they're doing well as they are currently topping their league table and considering the fact that Nice drop points and PSG took the advantage to top the league table so they wouldn't want to drop points at this material time because dropping points might actually give Nice and edge to reclaim the top of the table. So I believe PSG will really fight so hard in other to win Monaco, though Monaco isn't also an easy opponent because they won PSG in their last meeting so they might also be looking forward to win them again in their home ground but I don't see possibility in Monaco winning PSG.

It's rather very quick to determine who wins the trophy now as there are still more matches ahead to be played so tipping PSG as possible winner this season may not really work that way as their are also teams that are consistent in winning despite some drop in points.
1016  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 18, 2023, 09:15:31 AM
Unless they have injury problems in the squad, they are not going to perform badly. If the players are healthy, they are going to continue performing well till the end of the season. Even if they do not win the Bundesliga title, they are going to finish in the second position of the table. And honestly, I'm not going to be surprised if they actually end up winning the Bundesliga title. Right now, it seems doable for them. They are also going to perform well in the other competitions as well. They just have to follow the plan and not get ahead of themselves.
True. Sometimes the injury problem becomes a big trouble for a team. Since Leverkusen has no good squad depth, it will be a serious problem if their main players injured. But I'm sure they know how to handle the possible problem, their coach must rotate some players in an easy match. So, the main players can be optimized in the big matches. Well, I agree with you, they are likely to finish the season in the 1st or 2nd place of Bundesliga. And for the European League, I predict they will reach the final round.

Inasmuch as every player of a team in fit for a match I don't think any match should be undermined, Leverkusen awesome performance so far might actually be as a result of the fact that their key players are fit for their matches but reserving players in matches that the club feels it's less competitive is not advisable. They should keep presenting their most consistent players in matches and they should also consider signing more players to the club as replacement should incase any of their key players gets injured.

The European competition might not really go as you are predicting Leverkusen to reach finals because there are also more tactical and experienced teams in the Europa league so their ability to make it to final is not really certain but they should keep on the energy they started with and they will record a commendable result in the league.
1017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 18, 2023, 09:04:01 AM
Inter Milan is the most productive team but Juventus is a team that has a very good defense this season so it is inevitable that a fierce battle will be presented in this match.
Inter Milan does have more motivation to win matches in order to maintain their position at the top of the standings, with their very good performance in several matches this season it is possible to do so, but Juventus is really very good, so it cannot be underestimated, especially as Juventus will Playing at home will definitely be a slight advantage for them.

Both Inter Milan and Juventus are very productive this season, though Inter Milan seems to be more stronger due to their goal scoring record this season in the serie A. The match between the both club will be a very though clash but with the fact that Juventus is not in any European competition makes them look little bit relieved as the don't have any external matches apart from the serie A and the copa Italia. Juventus has been following Inter Milan closely and they are just two points behind Inter Milan, should Juventus win their match against Inter Milan then they will move to the top of the table. However the both clubs are in good form and doing very well in the serie A.

This is the more reason why we should seek for a decentralized system of banking operation, we don't want a third party anymore to make transactions as sometimes it is really frustrating when trying to get access to ones fund but finding it difficult to do so. Bitcoin adoption is really gonna be the way forward as we are tired of these fiat challenges therefore we don't want stories again all we should do is to embrace this modern day medium of exchange and trading without any glitch in the system. Bitcoin for one is definitely gonna be bitcoin for all as if one person embraces the use of bitcoin I think there is need for us all to embrace it as well.

Like as we don't come across many conversations for this forum i think bitcoin investment no be for short time investment or for inpatient people, if you must gain in bitcoin, just put your money comot your mind for there. Just carry am for mind say this money na my life savings of about 10 to 15 years. Definitely you must surely make profit after 2 halving. Except it's a life saving something naim go make you sell am.

All of us that's investing and trading bitcoin are expecting some profits no doubt but what am trying to bring to your understanding is that due to the uncertainty of this coins because of the fluctuations in the market, sometimes the market can turn around and one loses his bitcoins so such things do occur that's why I said we shouldn't think that we will make profits all the time while investing in bitcoin but that shouldn't make us not to invest, we are hopeful that the future will be good regardless of any circumstances that might surround our investment.
1020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What I've learned so far as a gambler on: November 18, 2023, 07:51:16 AM
If you walk into a casino with $200 and you start playing with that $200 and you win $200, get the hell out, you simply just doubled your money, take your goddamn leave, what do you think you wanna do? Win a million dollars? You will go home empty handed.

This mentality is one of the major setback of gambers as they ain't contented with the amount they won and I just think is greediness. You will see a gambler play a casino and wins some amount of money that's almost double of the amount they budgeted to play with instead to stop betting they will feel that they can win more if they continue playing and by so doing all the money vanish.

Though gambling is meant to be played for fun whether we win or lose but in a scenario whereby we make some profit in it then we can stop playing for that day, one can still continue some other time as continuous playing might lead to excessive losses that will be regrettable at the end.
