The only thing I will gree on about the superstitious attitudes, actions or routine is that it only builds up their moral giving them confidence to gamble with a settled mind. Anything out of that is an abracadabra because it doesn't mean that when they perform those rituals don't ever lose their games' of course they do, so if those superstitious acts were really effective they are supposed to have worked all of the time but rather at random that's therefore clarifies it that it's just their lucky day's when they win and not by virtue of some rituals done. In my part of the country I see some gamblers walking barefoot into the casino shop regularly believing it increases their luck and chances of winning and such behavior irks me all of time seeing those sets of gamblers behaving so.
If it can give gamblers confidence, they will keep doing it forever because with increased confidence, they will believe that they can win. We will never be able to change the beliefs of those who use such methods simply because we do not do what they do. Maybe they know what they are doing is futile but they believe that they cannot abandon it. So when we see superstition-related things and don't believe in them, we can leave it at that and don't need to say anything to them because they probably won't accept what we say. Maybe they will be angry with us for saying something about what they are used to doing.
Not that they should abandon it but my  irritatiion  about these rituals done by gamblers at gambling places is that why not do it at home while you move down to the gambling house with that same confidence; must it be done at the gambling house in the presence of other gamblers before it works or does the confidence that comes with their rituals has an expiration time!  Not everyone gets comfortable seeing certain behaviours been excercised in by fellow gamblers in the gambling house and if an individual complains about it then they are right to because it's a public space and people ought to consider others reaction and peace while they expect theirs to be considered.

After taken the lead at the end of the 1st half I had expected Liverpool to win the match but they came back in the 2nd half  just to throw away the lead, couldn't keep this Brighton side down. With a striker instinct Dunks' shot changed the scoreline to a stalemate draw in the 79 minutes giving Brighton an equalizer.  Liverpool could have won this match but they gambled away with a few of their chances in the second half. One will say it's only okay they didn't lose the whole 3 points to Brighton.

Brighton vs Liverpool ended 2-2 draw tie at the Amex stadium. Roberto De Zerbi seemed to be dissapointed with the current results of the game. He expected his team to record thrilled winning but reversed was the case. Jurgen Klopp have messed up his opportunity to climb to second spot on EPL table. I'm tired of this come-back, basically the Reds allowed Brighton to be the first on scoringsheet, they survived the comeback but couldn't hold on the seagulls in the second half, after much pressure on the Reds territory, goal was conceded.  Perhaps it's better balanced for an elite team to lose to average side.
There were around 3 draws in the EPL yesterday out of 4 different match fixtures which the fourth game game been played between Arsenal vs Manchester City which we all thought was also going to end a draw just like the first three matches of the day but fortunately for Arsenal Martinelli at the 86mins jailed a goal obstructing the serial draws of the Sunday matches. In essence what am trying to say is that Liverpool has had most of their wins this season from  comebacks  which many of us had never complained about their trend of winning matches not until now the comeback wasn't successful with the Brightons' and now you-all complaining.  If you ask me a draw wasn't much of a bad result for the Reds yesterday.

Why not just put a radar on them or a micro chip maybe that will help keeping them in touch about their whereabouts during and after the bullrun.  Grin As humans we will always want to celebrate our success but any wise person ought to know that we have just one life and shouldn't let our excitement expose it to risk.

This ain't the first bullrun and won't be the last we're expecting, so just like the first comment explicitly put, if you love them that so much then get them oriented about bitcoin and about money management entirely maybe that can relief the tension tension when the time arrives.

What I can advise is that any recommendations you later get from any member(s)  they may serve your need make sure to spend time reading their terms and conditions of deposit and withdrawal before going on ahead to make use don't be in a hurry because the exchange support SegWit Address see we don't get to read a topic about how you couldn't withdraw you funds from a recommended  exchange probably because you didn't follow their T/Cs, and just an additional tip try to stick to a decentralized exchange.

Brighton vs Liverpool is an attacking game between the two teams and at the moment Liverpool is ahead in terms of goals. Today's game is really a tight battle between the two teams with Brighton doing enough to equalize the match. Both teams are in danger of scoring at the moment, making the game even more exciting at the moment. Liverpool are currently having more of the ball in their possession but Brighton are doing enough to level the game. I'm watching the game right now and already I can see Brighton attacking strongly to level the game 2-2. And at the moment it will be a more exciting game between these two teams, there will be enough attacks to win the match, Liverpool will try their best. As the game is a draw at the moment, I think that Liverpool will play enough attacking games for him now and both teams will try enough at the moment to win. However, if Liverpool win today's match, they will overtake Tottenham at the top of the table points, and Liverpool will go to the top of the points table.

We got a chance to enjoy a wonderful match. Both teams were almost equally strong. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. Liverpool failed to defeat the Brighton team in four matches with this.
After taken the lead at the end of the 1st half I had expected Liverpool to win the match but they came back in the 2nd half  just to throw away the lead, couldn't keep this Brighton side down.

So why this belief or do you think it could be true? Or is it one of those superstitious belief among gamblers?
Do you feel cool sharing your predictions with other people and how has the outcome been looking at all the times you have shared your predictions with others?
I think a lot of that is just mumbo jumbo but a lot of people have some odd superstitions about gambling. I think one of the most well known one is that rubbing a rabbits foot for good luck, or wearing the same shirt every game day, doing the same routine in the exact same way every time or else they think they will lose the game etc etc. I don't think any of these things make a difference personally but to each their own. You have to do what helps you and makes you feel good about your risky behaviors!!! In a way I would say it is a coping mechanism because there is high stakes and lots of anxieties when one gambles.
Many people have or carry a rabbit's foot for good luck and it is a popular superstition. And maybe many people still believe in superstition because in some countries, it is still commonly used when they gamble. They believe in these superstitious things and use them to be lucky and win the game. Maybe bringing up these superstitious things can increase their confidence in gambling so that they still use it today. But people in modern countries don't believe it at all and say it is complete nonsense and has nothing to do with winning at gambling. It depends on each gambler because they will do these things if they feel comfortable.
The only thing I will gree on about the superstitious attitudes, actions or routine is that it only builds up their moral giving them confidence to gamble with a settled mind. Anything out of that is an abracadabra because it doesn't mean that when they perform those rituals don't ever lose their games' of course they do, so if those superstitious acts were really effective they are supposed to have worked all of the time but rather at random that's therefore clarifies it that it's just their lucky day's when they win and not by virtue of some rituals done.

you cant just outrightly trust them. from what i know , these free channels are the best of what they can offer because its targeted towards luring people to join their VIP so they want them to think that the VIP is same and even more better than that. but the truth is that they are not winning most times like they do present it. its always better to be source of your picks. you only need to research more and sharpen your skills.


Don’t pay any money to their VIP channels which guide you in the gambling.Actually it’s wrong to use the signals in the trading,because the self analysis in the trading will help you to get good win.So the same was applicable to the gambling.The gambling based on the luck,So how the VIP channel guidelines help you get the luck in the game.So you should use your own game in the gambling.The guidelines from the VIP channels is just to get some money from you.
Many of the VIP gambling channels are no better than the gambler who's hanging his hope on them for a greater chance of getting winnings games through them. These channels are just doing packaging business and not that they're sure of the predictions they offer, it's still same analysis a gambler could spend his own time critically analyzing about a particular sport he wishes to bet on, that's the same analysis these VIP channels undertake too to arrive in their predictions they sell out. Just that it's as if a few piles of gamblers have turned lazy in doing this paperwork themselves and have decided to push it to these channels in exchange for payment of service.
1148  Economy / Gambling / Re: Casinos not asking for KYC to register and play, but do require it to withdraw on: October 08, 2023, 04:24:39 AM
Registering from a banned country is allowed, and usually passes through for the first few days but once they check the accounts, they still usually get banned. They also need to cross-check for VPN usage as well. It's why you see so many people complaining about getting banned after a few days of playing. Plus, if they let you play on your own and then suddenly ban you, it's free money for them.
Isn't it deceptive and dishonest for casinos to still give access to gamblers from ban countries to easily register and open account with them and didn't had to ban the account immediately but giving days after which the gambler must have deposited funds into the account and boom that's when they realize it's from a banned country confiscating the account. It's just a gimmick and scheme by these sets of casinos to rob gamblers off their money having in mind that they can do nothing about it since their so-called T/C covers their actions. My charge is that they are carefully doing this in a cloak of ban-country as it's benefits them else they would have initiated restrictive measures making accessibility from ban countries a difficult task.
1149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 07, 2023, 05:38:09 PM
I am really confused how Bellingham is literally replacing Benzema while also playing as a defensive midfielder and a defender. This guy is a miracle on the pitch and at first I thought he was just lucky being in the right place at the right time and that is why he was able to score in the first few games. But I start to believe that I was fundamentally wrong and we maybe dealing with one of the biggest talents the world has seen in a very long time. If he keeps scoring like that while also playing this multi role on the pitch, I don't even know how to put his performances in words.

He's a talented player, if you have watched him when he was playing for Borussia Dortmund, you will see how he plays a role and contributes to his team on the pitch, so I'm not surprised by his current achievements. So far he has managed to score 8 goals and 2 assist in La Liga, this record also makes him the temporary top scorer in this league (above Alvaro Morata and Joselu who have 5 goals).
Bellingham is the only word now in all madridistas tongue, for his confidence on the pitch is something next to no midfielder in the laliga right now and  I think every defensive midfielders should emulate this guy by watching how he plays. The question I want to ask is with this outstanding performance Bellingham and if he continues this way till the end of the season will Ancelloti still have need for Mbappe in the next transfer window when he can just convert Bellingham to an attacking striker knowing full well that he's capable to deliver the role??

Another week for Tottenham Hotspur to play out another game against Luton who are some how still getting use to the EPL and is going to be another free win for the visitors (Tottenham) that's to their fans and some online stakers but I don't see Tottenham Hotspur winning this game.
Luton might be poor in their performance but I think they're going to take this game like is their last game in the EPL and they don't mind spoiling that unbeaten strict for Spurs today but I can just tip today's encounter between the newly promoted side against Spurs as a draw.
Am giving credit to Luton Town seeing how they're pressing Tottenham from the center with confidence frustrating all efforts by Tottenham from scoring a goal in the first 45 mins of the game. Before the end of the first half bissouma was shown a red card for diving and this will increase the advantage of Luton Town to take this game to a draw or winning it making Tottenham have their first lose in the EPL. I had expected Tottenham to have scored at least a goal after having a chances of 3 goals on target and 8 off target in the first half and this chances wasted is going to hunt them now that they are one man down because they will be playing on pressure

To Manchester United I don't have confidence in them winning their game today. There's no consistency in their team squad, in the forward  M. Rashford isn't scoring goals anymore, in the defense the defenders are not in their great form except for Casimero who has been able to keep up a little form but that doesn't matter much cause it's not a one man team .

Let me show you why wealthy men like changpeng Zhao(cz), Brian Armstrong, Jed mc Caleb etc can hold billions in Bitcoin without being afraid.
 
These mean you have mentioned are already wealthy. They are dollar wealthy and Bitcoin wealthy. If I were the one with such amount of wealth. I wouldn't mind buying some more Bitcoins every other day. If Newbies only have more monies that they cannot afford lose, they won't be afraid of invest it.

You or anyone can take the initiative, you don't have to have so much wealth as those men before investing. One thing I believe is that those men in their financial prime started small with risk taking to get to where they are and if they are investing so much millions into bitcoin then the risk is not something new to them for all they see is opportunity and  that is what some of us are not seeing and that's why we are afraid to start with the small with can in investing in bitcoin.
1152  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: October 07, 2023, 11:28:33 AM
I spoke to a tutor who teaches trading, and he said for his lectures, he teaches for an extended period of nine months for anyone who wants to learn trading from him. Please I like to read the personal experience of some traders here, how long did it take you to learn to trade profitably, and what was the hardest thing to learn? did it take you weeks, months or years? Do you think that trading can be learnt well in a short time like three weeks for a quick trader? Can someone who is a proffesional trader just go straight to the point pointing out what is needed to make a successful trader to a newbie to learn quickly?
Nine months to learn trading is too long for me but this also depends on the learning speed of the individual. It took me two months after learning before I began trading live, for some people it doesn't exceed weeks, once they have grabbed the right tools and points with their confidence level they are good to go. I don't know if am wrong should I classify trading as something that's learning on the job, because with each trade there's something to learn from it's results.
I am no professional or expert trader nevertheless am good at what I do in my own little way as my number of winning trades in a month is usually higher than the number of losses made and that's what important making sure your losses don't supersede your profits. 
1153  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: trading purely based on luck. on: October 07, 2023, 11:09:19 AM
It is typical of newcomers to think that by some means of luck they could be successful traders but trading doesn't work that way, trading success doesn't rely on luck but strictly on skills, anyone could be lucky with a trade they open but in that luck 99% is dependent on your applied skills and strategy to that very trade.

If this was gambling I could more or less agree about luck but same doesn't apply with trading that's why it's advisable for traders to keep learning different trading skills and strategy till they discover the very one that works best for them and pitch your tent there stead of sitting on luck.

This is true on which on which if you are still a complete noob then you would really be having this kind of intent or belief in mind that it is really that something that similar to gambling
on which it would really be normal that you would be having that gambler like kind of approach until you would realize that this isnt something that really needs to have that kind of dealing
but rather you should go to that serious part on analyzing and studying more rather than on being careless and easy go lucky kind of behavior.
For noobs like that who harbor such intent mistaking trading to gambling before they can arrive to a realization of the difference they must have burned their account with whatever amount they started with.  Trading without study and analysis is just gambling your money without a chance. Trading is a serious business like a financial battle with people (experts) on the other side and that's why the only guaranteed way to stand a winning chance is to be equipped with as much strategic trading skills necessary to stay out of loss.

Hello you guys,
Until now, there is no country officially accepted crypto for trading or purchase as I know. Can you explain why?
Moreover, do you think that which country could be the first?
Have you heard of Central African Republic and El Salvador?
These are the two infamous countries that however have adopted bitcoin as a legal tender for use in their country. El Salvador even went as far as building a school curriculum that includes bitcoin in the learning for schools. Some other countries are yet to adopt bitcoin officially but that doesn't mean companies, financial institutions and stores within these countries ain't accepting bitcoin, it's just a little restrictions and regulatory policies here and there but with time the adoption will increase anyway.   https://news.bitcoin.com/.
1155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will the Gambling Sportybet (Company) Refund the Money? on: October 06, 2023, 04:58:01 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 boy's money will not be refunded because there rules and regulations that's governs the gambling industries. Moreover it's a careless mistake and a greedy decision for the boy to gamble with his school fees. Secondly on the company aspect they don't refund money that has already staked, it's also said to use your spare money to bet. Gambling is a game for matured minds and shouldn't be meddled with underage, imo that boy Is supposed to serve a community service for breaking the  law against underage gambling to serve as deterrent for others.

The primary reason for such actions, including in OP’s case, is a repeated pattern of deposits, gameplay, and withdrawals, seemingly aimed solely at profiting from the no-wagering bonuses. We encourage everyone to review our Bonus Terms & Conditions, specifically the No Wagering Bonuses Policy section, for a clearer understanding.
Reading from all your explanations it makes sense to an extended but within me I was just mumbling like would you guys had still placed bonus restrictions on a players' account if his repeated pattern of deposits, gameplay, and withdrawals wasn't profiting the player from the no-wagering bonuses???

I particularly admonish gamblers to always take a leave from being in a hurry and read  any term and conditions of a casino regarding deposits, withdrawal or bonuses before anything else to avoid future misunderstanding between the gambling house and the players.

1158  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 05, 2023, 02:33:42 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?

 The analogy is that' Men are like the government, government are never good managers they spend money from all angle as they are not economical with money spending due to the numerous responsibilities that hangs on them, meanwhile the Woman is like a private company in her spending, meticulous with spending and every money leaving her purse must be worth spending to receive a gain.

A man can make a $100 for the day have a responsibility of about $60 to care for but will still call his little circle to meet him at a nearby beer joint to share a few bottles and catch fun but a woman can hardly behave that way. She may infact give you a 100 reasons why that money should get home in complete amount of $100 bucks and you'll agree with her.  Grin

To overcome all these things you must do things that remove all these deprivations,
1. Build free homes for people who don't have houses
2. Provide free quality food to people (And do it all before 2028)
"You can launch a project with the help of cryptocurrency or do something through AI"
3. For those who are deprived of wealth, the means to provide wealth should be created (As the maximum purchasing power of a person in poor countries is 2 dollars, converting these 2 dollars into 2000 dollars per month should be our next step)
4. Many things are necessary to improve people's health and eliminate death

Can you build free robotic hospitals in every country or every city in the world?
There are no rules that applies to how and where people should spend their legally hard earned wealth on, in as it's not causing harm and threat to the life of the next man, so for any man wealthy not to care it's no crime it's something to be  done at will and not make it seem like a duty owed. However, if I chose to be philanthropic that's my business and if the wealthy man next door chose not to that's still his business and he must have his reasons which must be respected.

Another thing is that too much of philanthropy here and there can cause or breed many lazy bones who sit down hoping that some wealthy guy somewhere will do the needful by sending help from his hard earned wealth. And by the way all of these you mentioned are primarily constitutional responsibility of the government that's why we have them in charge of governance.
