1101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 06, 2023, 08:42:41 PM
Anyway, I  wouldn't  compare Manchester City's performance last season with that of this season. Last season, they were hot in their football matches performance. Winning the big and small teams. But these seasons, they are not. There is a bit of difference in their performance, even though they have won all but lose their match of recent.
I never believe that If Manchester City should have their first match lost of the season, it shouldn't be Wolves. Losing to the Wolves made me realize that, this season's trophy of the premier league might not fall in their favor to lift the premier league trophy. Another team might likely lift the trophy.

Inasmuch to Manchester City performance, they doesn't look that ready to do another treble this season. They have to work on their performance to be able to lift this season premier league title
Well there performance this season is not really bad and even though they've lost a game, they're still the league leaders and would continue dominating for a while and if you noticed they're even doing fine in the champions league cause they're leading their in their group with about 6points, i have this believe that City  would beat Arsenal in their next match, though it's not going to be easy based on Arsenal's current performance.

 It came as a surprise to me too, if Manchester City where to even lose any game it should be that of Arsenal's but losing against Wolverhampton wasn't really expected and it even made many bettors lose their games lol, well the fact that they lost one game doesn’t write them off cause they're still very strong league contenders and might win the league again.

No doubt about the fact that Manchester city has been good from the beginning of this season, that their loss against Wolverhampton was just a one time thing which I feel, it won't likely happen again in a long time.
Manchester city next game against Arsenal, for me I think is a work over.
That was how we praised Arsenal last season when they played against city, hoping that they could do something because the title race then was between both of them and at some point, Arsenal had an edge over city, but on meeting Manchester city, they Lost that match, and end they title race.
I cannot give much credence to arsenal against City.

Breaking News!

Paul Pogba has tested positive for doping following today's test and this means his career is over. Paul Pogba will be banned from playing for a long time and of course he will have to accept this consequence because he has used doping. As a football player he must act professionally in dealing with this problem and must also be responsible for what he has done. Currently, Juventus is certainly also considering the next steps to take for Paul Pogba and it is very likely that Juventus will terminate his contract in the near future.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1710274757847822640

Obviously, if Pogba has tested positive for doping and a ban on playing has also been received, then of course Juventus will terminate his contract. It doesn't matter if Pogba is still under contract because anyway, basically there is no more opportunity for Juventus to play Pogba. So yes, I think it is clear that the right step is to terminate Pogba contract and then, Pogba will no longer be able to play football in his career. Indeed, this case is a big blow of course for Pogba and also for Juventus, but because this has happened and proven then it seems that there is no longer any effort that can be done.
Yes, of course Juventus chose to end the contract with Pogba rather than have other problems because doping will be a serious problem for Pogba and of course in the long term other problems will arise at Juventus if they don't immediately end the contract.
I just think why this player is reckless enough to consume doping just for a better quality of talent when he is not a great player but the talent he has is only the influence of the doping.
Maybe my opinion is a little wrong, but nevertheless Juventus feels that they have lost out on recruiting this player and he has not made a big contribution but has caused trouble for Juventus.

But before this time I think that there has been some problems between pogba and juventus, that for a very long time now they haven't featured him in their games, no doubt about the fact that  he has committed to doping but the whole drama of juventus not playing pogba or featuring him in matches has been lingering for a very long time now, this is doping issue is just a final nail on the head to finalize this contract with juventus.
I think the juventus did a poor job in handling the players conflict with the club, and I don't know what the internal crisis has been but it's obvious that the level of serious rancour between the player and his club wasn't a funny one. this is a young man that did well by giving his best to the club at his prime.
I just wish him the best in his future endeavours because his football career is gone.
1103  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Do You Guys Think About This Simple Analogy? Anything to Add or Remove? on: October 06, 2023, 05:58:10 PM
Today I want to share a simple comparison method I used when talking (not persuading) them about bitcoin adoption. I use the internet adoption example. I ask them if they remember the first time they got on the internet. How they got on it and what their reason(s) was or were. I further ask them what thought process got them to decide to use the Internet. I have found out that their answers are all the same. I then proceed to tell them that Bitcoin will be the same. The Internet is a tool and people choose to use it or not. How much harder will life be if they don't use Internet. I tell them that at some point life may be much harder if they haven't adopted bitcoin.

I tell them that this simple comparison between Internet adoption and Bitcoin adoption because it speaks volume to the importance of  deciding to embrace new technologies. I tell them that just as the Internet has been a viable tool in impacting our lives all round, so bitcoin will  and they must be proactive in making choices that can help them make the most of the opportunities bitcoin offers.

This is very true because Bitcoin is something that has gained momentum in our present day,  so if you are not involved in Bitcoin it will be as if you are not in line with modern reality.  but this particular process will take time, the general adoption of Bitcoin will take time, because there are still some governments in various countries that have placed restrictions on Bitcoin but it wouldn't take much time for all those restrictions to vanish because bitcoin is the future.

Your analogy is good, it is best you give analogy that they can easily relate with.  the people you are telling the story or ask the question, will easily understand because hence you tell them that if you can use the internet successfully it then means with time, you can also use Bitcoin because both of them come in pari passu.
1104  Economy / Economics / Re: What US can do with its dept? Genuine question. on: October 06, 2023, 05:20:00 PM
We all know that US borrowing heavily. There are a lot of information on US debt on the Internet. Just to make it short, I will ask few questions:

What do you think, how this situation will be resolved? What did happen to any other nations who had huge dept in history? Is there any ways offered by economists to resolve the situation?

There are lots of ways government of different countries tries to unburden debt, the country that is in debt can decide to give out their  revenue-generating agency to the country they are indebted to, to be collecting the money from that agency, for example, they can give out their port authority to the country they are indebited to,  to be collecting the revenue for a particular period of time pending when they can clear the debt.

The indebted country can also give licence to a particular company to produce a certain product,  for which the country they are indebited to will be the sole producer of that product, for a period of time pending when the debt will be cleared. But in the international law, there are ways government's of various nations try to come to level of agreement in settling their debt.  Borrowing is good, but what your borrowing for, is the most important question to ask.  as a country if you're borrowing for consumption, it will be hard to pay back, because there will be little for you to fall back on. But if you're borrowing for production, it will help your revenue base so you can at least pay back little by little, if not, you will suffer the consequences of he who goes borrowing goes sorrowing.
1105  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Provable fairness should be mandated by law! ONLY gamble in provably fair casino on: October 06, 2023, 10:24:32 AM
It's been more than 10 years since provable fairness was implemented and popularized thanks to bitcoin gambling.

However, the most popular and otherwise Legally registered casinos that have e-gambling STILL don't implement it.
Most big online casinos that have dice, slots, roulette and other games based on randomness simply have a "certificate" that basically says results will be random Trust Us™. Well, are we supposed to pretend that they don't KNOW provable fairness exists by now? Honestly between the last 10 years all companies capable making custom e-gambling games have become rich. But yet we don't see big casinos caring enough to implement trustless technology.

Under their current schemes, they could be cheating people with rigged games and there wouldn't be even any way to prove this as it all happens virtually... The funny thing is that in many occasions, this happens under government issued licenses. It seems as though even government officials don't care to protect their citizens... When a simple solution exists to irrefutably PROVE the randomness of all games, why would politicians and cronies licensing those games be OK with leaving the door open for online casinos to cheat on their citizens without anyone noticing? Who knows what corruption might be at play here.

It's for these reasons that when I gamble, I only gamble in provably fair casinos. Regardless of whether my government has licensed them or not. This is just one of the occasions that the law doesn't protect anyone other than the 0.1% richest who pay millions for casino licenses.

Virtual games have Risk, and it's always understandable that most virtual games are  pure luck, so to a large extent you might have a point in saying some of the games are rigged to favour the casino companies but on the other hand you should know that this game is purely on your  prediction luck.

I think the government  might be a bit handicap on this issue, if you decide to take it up. Because it can be argued that, you knew how volatile the virtual games are, but yet you choose to go for it.
1106  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Gambling Sportybet (Company) Refund the Money? on: October 05, 2023, 10:53:06 PM
In the gambling platform, there are different stories every day across the world. This 16 years Nigerian citizen used his school fees to play bet and was planning to win big amount so he can use it to solve other problems but along the line he loss everything and he went to the contact of the company and begged them to refund the money back to him because it is his school fees. Is it possible for the company to refund the money to the boy? As for me it is not possible because the played the game and loss. And also the boy was too small to gamble because gambling is meant for mature mind because you have you to face things like and when you loss, you have to move on. And these are some the reasons why casinos always specifying that before you play gamble, you must be above 18 years plus  that is in short form 18+ and some people and sportsbooks ignore this warning and this is one off the result. Click the picture for more information.


The casino company will not refund a dime to anybody not even to the boy, because it is assumed that the young man is an adult, on the betting site of every casino company, it is specifically written that it is from 18+ .
What this means is that the young man must have lied to the company while registering or opening his account in telling them that he was 18, probably use any other person's ID card that was 18 to find his way to the registration portal. The company wouldn't given a dime because if he had won the game he would not be writing to the company directly for a refund, he would have been happy that whatever prediction he made has come into fruition, so I think the young man is a sore loser that Is just trying to play some sort of sympathy game that will not take him anywhere.
1107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have You Ever Made Such Mistake Before, But Won still? on: October 05, 2023, 10:24:12 PM
Hi guys,
Lucky me actually..

Something happened while I was playing QUICK PICK on L0tt0.com yesterday, normally, my maximum bet for each number picked is always the minimum which is $0.25 cent, and I always pick not more than two numbers which costs me $0.5 cent per round, but while playing the game yesterday, I did not know when my finger touched the "Select bet value" slide bar and increased my bet value to $1.75 dollars for each number picked, I then picked my usual two numbers and I was billed $3.50 dollars for that round, this was a total mistake which I didn't even take note of until i saw that I won $28.



I was like wow 😍, with $0.5 cents for two numbers, what I normally won if one of those numbers played is $4, but if both numbers I choose plays, I win $8, but this time, I saw that I won $28, I was like how come? I began inspecting and discovered that my bet was not $0.5 cent, but $3.50 dollars, I was like what the heck, a mistake that turned sweet for me 😋😋.

So by this experience, I am moved to ask you guys if any one of you have ever made such a mistake, but it turned out in your favor? Please share with us.



I haven't personally had such experience but I've Heard of same stories from people. The mistake is good when you've won, because you will be proud of your mistake, but the whole story would have changed if you lost the game and you later check to see your mistake.
While trading too bitcoin, you could actually choose the wrong lot size if you don't check properly,  if the trade goes in your favour, that will be something good, but don't pray to be on the losing side of the trade with such kind of mistake, you can blow your account with such mistakes.

It's always good to double check your bet, before playing them. Congratulations on your win,  because you really had a lucky day.
1108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 05, 2023, 09:19:51 PM
A lady cried seriously after losing her money in sports bet gambling. Navigate to the image for more info 👉👉👉


Gambling is not for the weak minded ones but for those who can withstand with the bad motion/feeling when it occurs. Any gambler that thinking to win always is not well prepared for the gambling space. As a Gambler, you have to prepare your mind that the game you are playing might favour you or against you and if the game against you, then you have to wear a thick skin to over come the lose. Gambling is not for butter and bread but for the better and the worst. So any of the above come to your way as a gambler, you take. No man/woman should cry for gambling though it is painful but you don't have to cry. The casino company never cry when you win. She would have known that gambling is not her loss is another person win and her win is another person loss. Casinos want you to loss and you want casinos to loss and that is how gambling game is. Many people don't understand gambling and all what they want is to play and win. And I believed that she didn't read the Ts of the casino and probably she was excited for the game and placed her bet and loss.
This is the first time I am seeing a lady playing gamble in the public domain. Though I have been hearing but not seen. Well she should take heart, the matter how she cried the money will not come back again. What do you say about the Lady? Did she do well in the public? As I said, gambling is not your mate, take precautions.

Gambling ordinarily is not for the lily-livered, it has to do with a lot of emotional maturity for you to take your money and support a certain bet and I think women should not get involved much in gambling because emotionally they are always most times weak.
Though if she's a regular gambler, then she didn't have to cry, but if she's a first timer, then you should expect her to cry, especially if she staked a high amount of money.

If she continues staking, she will get used to it and see her lost on betting as a normal thing with time. It's always advisable that you stake with a little token, something that you can easily do away with.

1110  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 04, 2023, 11:04:33 PM
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?

The lower class of people are the ones with average gambling money, those rich guys gamble in high stakes, their win's are always high because they stake with a lot of funds, mean while, a lower class gambler will  stake with meager money with the hope of getting a big win, which sometimes doesn't work as they plan.
A wealthy guy, can play small odd with high stake, and win his money with a little bonus attached, but a lower class guy, will stake a little money with a very big odd, and he will end up losing the bet, because those big odd winning doesn't come easy. I feel they both class of person's have almost equal numbers of people that gamble, the rich wants to get richer, the lower class too wants to get rich as well.
1111  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 04, 2023, 10:33:42 PM
We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?

I feel men have more bills to pay than a women does, so after when they are done paying those bills, they get broke and it makes them look as if they are not financially responsible. While for ladies, even when they are working, they still find favours from admirer's that send them money in addition to their salary, most times this admirer's do pay the entire bills of the woman, making her have much savings for herself.

Though there are men, that are ordinarily financially reckless, that spend money extravagantly. But trust me, most men pay a lot of bills, from school fees, house rent just name it, yet they hardly get a dime if they don't work for it. The life of a man, isn't easy, we deserve more credit.

What a shock on PSG performance tonight as they were defeated like babies by Newcastle today with all the quality players that they have in the club. Newcastle took the match very serious and were determined to get all three points, which they made possible.

PSG didn't play as if they really wanted to win the match because they failed to utilize the opportunities that they had in the first half. Newcastle deserves the win since they worked for it and it was clear that PSG deserves the defeat. The only goal that was scored by PSG was to console themselves.
I believe most of people are shocked with the poor performance of PSG tonight but also with the poor results they got in their previous matches in Ligue 1..
Receiving 4 goals even if it was vs a good team and away, is not acceptable and I assume there will be consequence for that.

Manchester City did it and Leipzig couldn't resist much after the draw. Otherwise Lazio picked an important victory at the very end of the game vs Celtic!

Sincerely speaking I was disappointed by PSG's performance against newcastle, at first I thought it would just be a walk over game for PSG, surprisingly the tables turned, though I haven't followed up there ligue 1 games lately, to know how their performance has been lately but a 4-1 defeat from Newcastle was far from my expectations, like they normally say, this is the game of football, anything can happen.

Man city playing a possessive game, from the beginning of game till it end,  foden was just terrorising the Leipzig defence right from the onset, I'm not surprised he saw the back of the next. I wasn't expecting much from Leipzig though because they were playing against the defending champions that are still very much possessive in the pattern of play.
1113  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin vs the government on: October 04, 2023, 09:46:35 PM
Government and their fear for Bitcoin!

Bitcoin as a decentralized digital currency that operate without a financial system or without being controlled by the government is really creating panick and fear in most government officials.

The government just want to be in charge of everything, from monitoring your transaction to knowing how much people are worth financially, but Bitcoin is becoming too powerful for them too handle, which to me is understandable, but to them it's a ugly reality.

Financial power and control is returning back to the people, which is a welcome development.

The sweet reality is that Bitcoin is here too stay, if they ban Bitcoin the mass will rise up against them, so they are just looking for a way to contain the influence of Bitcoin and discredit it.
 To me Bitcoin is one of the best thing that has ever happened to finance because everyone loves privacy.

One thing I love about Bitcoin is that when the haters voice grows louder and the value drop base on their policies, just to attack it, Bitcoin still fight it way back up,

Please the government need to know this, they have already lost.
All the bitcoineers cheers


Ordinarily government's across the world would want to control the financial activities of their people, or try to monitor the financial life of her people, bitcoin doesn't give room for that because of it's decentralized nature. But that doesn't mean the government are in panic mood or afraid of bitcoin. The activities of bitcoin is legal in most countries, and its not as if bitcoin and the government are in loggerhead with each other.

I know that there are countries with restrictions of bitcoin, most of those decisions taken by such government are done because of their ignorance about what bitcoin is all about, i feel they are not well literate about bitcoin and the government need to be enlightened, so they could see bitcoin from a brighter part, with consistency and patience, those restrictions will be relaxed in the nearest future.

With the way technology dey advanced every day I dey fear for the unknown. because if e continue like this problem go increase pass like this. For example AI robot. Oyibo don creat plenty robots to help man kind to solve many problem or treduce stress, but in the other way round go affect negatively.

For the oyibo side e no go too affect them because there economy no hard like my country, or most of there works na online work. Den don dey familiar with robots what about ous?
For example:
Cleaning robot
Driving robots
Delivery robots
Factory robots
Sex toy robot
Marketing robots etc
Many robots dey but make we just use this few.

If you be driver as a proffetion and driving robots come 9ja come take over all driving job, how you go do? Also if be drlelivery man and robots come take over delivery how you go do? What about people wey say them be company or factory worker? Robots go replace man power there by leaving you with no choice. because your line of business don dey outdated and you Don dey old.

So as we dey grow in age I think we also need to upgrade our thinking faculty, so that water no go carry us go were we no no. So now wetting ona think we fit do for this matter.

I became active in the forum last month and at first, it was difficult to understand how so many things work here.

I read many threads and they were helpful but they weren't  detailed enough to give me the information I needed.

Then I decided to become open and make a post expressing my current problems in the forum. I had my fears but then, I just wanted to learn so I posted this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5467614.msg62881324#msg62881324

Although I initially received loads of criticism and of course some useful information, someone dropped a link to an article that gave me an insane guide on key fundamental topics like

1. Accounts: This covers almost everything you need to know about creating and securing your account.
2. Address:
3. Airdrops
4. Altcoins
5. Authentication
6. Bitcoin
7. Blockchain
8. Books
And lots of information I never imagined I could get from one particular place.

I recommend that every newbie or someone who is really in need of quality information should go through this
 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5364418.0

It is a library of information that you can't exhaust and remain the same.

Ask question questions and never despise the days of your little beginning. Every great person started as a newbie so enjoy the learning process.



The forum is educative and at the same time informative.
Always ask questions on subjects you don’t have a good knowledge on, especially here in the forum, don’t be afraid of backlash, because they are the ingredients you need to enable you grow.
I’ve learned things that were ordinarily too complex for my understanding, here in these forum with ease.

It’s also of self help when you painstakingly go through those links shared by forum members on questions you’ve asked, reading it yourself gives you an in-depth understanding of the question you’ve asked, sometimes better than explanation somebody is trying to give you.

I still can't tell how it happened or what went wrong in the game between Manchester United vs Galatasaray, this is a winning game for Manchester United but they weren't ready to get all 3 point. At some point I ask what is Amrabat doing at the left back of the defense? Like what's happening to this UTD team?
ETH is using his hands to create so much confusion for himself, as it is Copenhagen is far better than Manchester United in this champions league.
If Copenhagen can stop the Barbarians from scoring 3 goals in that encounter then they're better than Man UTD, and if you look at it from what both teams (Man UTD and Copenhagen) have played against Bayern Munich you'd agree with me that Manchester United are going to find it hard to win Copenhagen in their next game. So I feel ETH just need to create something different from what we saw tonight just to at least get a point in this champions league games.

Manchester United haven’t been too impressive with their last champions league performance, though some people argued that onana should take a huge part of the blame for their last two champions league games.
The attacking midfield for me needs to be improved upon, it’s as If casimero and Bruno are the midfielder creating the chances, I still think they need a good top 9, that Rashford should be supporting at the frontline.
It’s just unfortunate to continue watching United play without consistency in their pattern of play. They’ve already lost 6 points on the group stages, I don’t think they will make much difference in performance in their next match.
1118  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin be accepted as a dominant currency in the future? on: October 03, 2023, 10:08:36 PM
It is captivating for us all to witness the evolution of a DDC (decentralized digital currency) that has the ability and potential to change the financial world forever but there is a question that needs to be tabled properly for the purpose of awareness and well preparedness for the future and that is "is it possible for BTC to be accepted and adopted as a dominant currency in the nearest future".

We have all watched how both small scale and large scale businesses have started to accept the idea of bitcoin as a form of payment for good and services. Now the big major companies these days like TESLA for example are making big transactions with bitcoin making btc look viable and acceptable for exchange even in the future and we all know that this is only possible because they find it more easy and secure for their digital transactions with low transaction fee compared to the normal bank transaction system. But then how can we ignore that bitcoins journey towards being dominant means of transactions Is faced with challenges such as concern on price volatility. That aside several countries are still trying to steer how to regulate the cryptocurrencies and these actions can crucially impact the value/utility of BTC, well this is what i think.🤷‍♀️
What is your opinion on this topic?

I believe bitcoin has already gotten to that the stage your trying to Envisage, except for countries that have placed  restriction on bitcoin if not, there is no place around the globe at the moment that you won’t see people making use of bitcoin or trying to have a conversation around it. If you compare the awareness bitcoin has gathered in last 10, you will realize that bitcoin is the future we are talking about.

Not only TESLA, I heard even Honda the car manufacturing company has started accepting payments in bitcoin too. The list will continue to go on and on endlessly.
Your talking about several countries trying to steer how to regulate the cryptocurrencies, that’s likely impossible because this currencies are decentralized and cannot be controlled by the government, at best they can only put some restrictions here and there, but there restrictions hasn’t changed the growth trajectory of bitcoin so far.

Our people say if snake don bite you befor if you see long black rope you go run without person tellin you to. And for this tori INEC na be the snake while Nigerians na be the befor beaten victim by the snake.

As Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa states electionsdraw closer INEC don dey lament say voters no even send to com out colet their Parmernent Voter's Cards (PVC's). And the headline com sound laughable wen I first read am but then at same time com send strong message say we Nigerians no longer get faith and trust for INEC. Meaning say, INEC no get beta reputation to stand on base on how dem use their own hand assist rig the just concluded 2023 general elections for we country.

No body wan waste their energy, time on sumtin wey dem know say las las e go end as selection process by INEC wit support from the bastardized court processes and judgement. ( He popular slogan: if u don't lik it go to court).

Many many people for social media don dey even say as INEC don destroy their credibility wit their own hands PVC, BVAS, IREV all don turn useless bcos INEC go still announce results in favor for who dem want as winner.

How una see dis matter. Is it possible say INEC fit redeem the trust people bin get for dem thru dis Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa states elections by doing the right thing as what ought to be?  Or say na just same road dem go still take as dem do for the general elections? Abeg share ur thoughts with me!

Make INEC no even complain this kind complain, because this is what they ever wanted to. They've decided not to comply with their own guidelines and yet they are expecting people to come out and waste their precious time in something they already know the outcome.

The kind of society INEC wants Nigeria to be, is where the majority doesn't have a say, and the minority highjacking the entire democratic structure of our country, so that the country will continue going backward.
Let INEC live to it's responsibility and Nigerians will support them but for now, they will continue to see low voters turnout.
