I remember my mother's message that if you want to do something, never rush because it won't be good in the end, therefore every time I gamble I don't really want to rush into playing, enjoying the game is something I have fun because my goal is to gamble only just to look for fun and have fun not to multiply money also make money in gambling.

Lack of patience has drowned so many and I believe that is one of the best pieces of advice not to rush anything in life, our personality is similar to playing gambling for fun, because sometimes I feel like once money is involved people go crazy, if you look where some people place bets you will actually see how people are greedy and desperate for money, want to use a small amount of money to win millions with very large odds, which is nothing but pure greed.

Gambling with a hasty attitude will allow us to lose more opportunities as well as money on the gambling platform, that's why I always advise anyone not to be in a rush in doing anything including gambling, because gambling requires money for betting so make sure to play to enjoy the game because in a hurry you won't be able to enjoy the game too, especially if you lose quickly.

Gambling without patience is what the majority does, and that is why they keep losing bets. They omit so many principles, even gambling has a principle, I know of few people who draft out games and analyze the way some clubs are playing before they place a bet, not just selecting games and placing a bet without any consideration. 
1162  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: This increment of Fuel price in Nigeria on: June 21, 2023, 09:06:51 PM
I'm actually disappointed that a whole country like Nigeria doesn't have a price control, imagine our Baba presido just announced suspension of fuel subsidy and the next day all the fuel station done high there prices, I wonder how long is going to take for it to come back to it normal state. Imagine were you normally pay a certain amount and now because of the fuel price you have to pay x times two, to even make the matter worst, some fuel station are not selling for now based on the fact that they had information that fuel will increase more soon so they prefer to  reserve and sell high.


I don't really no what is wrong with this country almost all the sector are corrupt, no more human rights, police are doing the work of road safety, people are more afraid of police than any other thing on the road because they will always find a fault to extot from you, I don't really no why is like that.

The government does not even care how the less privilege are managing to survive, well one thing I love about most Nigerians is that regardless of how difficult it is to survive in this country people always device means to survive.



Please let's share knowledge because I believe one of us in any way has been harase by a police officer, and also what do u really think about the fuel issue? Would the price come down or increase the more?

The problem now is that the price of fuel always has an impact on everything. One thing I noticed, especially in this country, is that many people are opportunist and constantly seek out ways to exploit people. When the president mentioned it, the price had already started to shoot up, to the point where some filling stations were selling for 600 naira. The government always assumes that people will adjust, and that is what is currently happening. I notice that many people no longer drive their cars anymore instead, they take public transportation, even to get to work. Therefore, I don't believe that the price will decrease. Lets hope for implementations that will make people relax and not feel the impact.

Greetings my fellow Naija people.

I don't know why some people are still falling into the traps of those people that will call you for phone or meet you one on one and introduce fake decentralized investment, that if you invest #100,000 you will get #200,000 within a week. Someone came to share with me that there is a BTC investment one of his neighbors introduced to him, that when he invest on it through him , my friend will get double profit from it but the minimum anyone can start with is #500,000 above, that the numbers of people they want in that BTC investment is almost complete, that he came to seek advice from me if such decentralized investment is real. But I told my friend to run alway from them, that those guys are scammers and they don't have any knowledge about BTC investment. Did I give him a good advice ? What is your advice to such person.

One thing about scammers is that they always try to find ways to get you to invest, and some people who want to make money quickly will fall victim. I remember what happened with mmm many people were paying the debt until today, and all of it was due to greed and nothing else people are becoming wiser now. I receive a lot of notifications on Telegram about Bitcoin investments, and they often start showing screenshots of how they have benefited from the investments, all na scam.

contrary to this, it is unlikely that sevilla can afford any major signings with the clubs financial standing and yes, getting champions league football does not change that position. it is left to see if sevilla are able to get quality loan signings, else they would struggle with relegation like the just concluded season
It's difficult to fight in the Champions League when a team doesn't have high-quality players, but in the season that just finished Sevilla were still able to stay in the middle area of the final standings and it's not that close to relegation. But for next season Sevilla will have to fight even harder because they are already in a tougher competition apart from La Liga, because the Champions League is a league for the best teams from several domestic leagues.

Having good players and good positioning, and the players doing well in their positions, especially the midfielders, as you noted, are some of the fundamental principles that Guardiola employs. Additionally, based on what the other user said, Sevilla seriously needs to improve its financial situation before the clubs suffer more harm than they already have—they even struggled to earn 49 points—before the clubs become more damaged than before. I hope they invest in new strategies and more players. since other clubs are busy working to improve the performance of their clubs.
1165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who is to be blamed, the gambler or the betting agent on: June 21, 2023, 09:50:28 AM
A situation occurred today in my locality,  I have some guys working for me today and suddenly I hard them battling with an issues and when I get close to them to know what exactly the problem is,  and I asked the guy who look strange to me since I am meeting him for the first time and not a worker on the site what his business and why he is distracting the workers from work.

Then the guy narrated his case to be and he said,  that one of the workers came to his betting shop the yesterday to play some visual,  that at first the guy came with ₦‎1,000 in my local currency to make the bets and along the line, he existed the balance but as a regular customer,  the agent decided to allow him at further on credits and in all he accumulated a total debt of ₦‎8,000 because he lost all the bets and since that yesterday he has been on the run from the gambling agent until he traced him to the site today.

This is not the first time I've seen something like this, and it's always worse than this one. I wonder how some people think you're busy calculating the money you don't have and they keep playing games with the mindset that they are going to win, if not for that, I wonder why you will play bet for dept up to 8000 nairas, and the agent was always trying to take advantage to grow his business, and since all games played end up in lost, so both of them were at disadvantage. it's always hilarious.

Quote
So when I wanted to judge the case and possible settlement,  I query the casino agent how can you allow a customer to gamble on credit to the tune of 8k Knowing fully well that the gambler only has a 1k balance which already existed?

Also what is the probability that the gambler will ever return after owning such debt in the betting shops,  note the gambler's daily pay is 2k as a helper on the site,  so he has to work for 4 days to be able to meet that debt that is if he doesn't make any other expenses.

Question is:

What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?

like the query you made was the best, and I hope the agent will accept responsibility and cease letting clients play on the dept. However, both the player and the agent have learned their lesson, imaging working on site and still playing the game for dept, I wonder what kind of mindset this niggas have. I also wonder if the agent will be entitled to his money back, am sure his not getting it back.

Long back while having conversation with one of my girlfriend she said she was interested into cryptocurrency. Quite often she used to watch more details on Instagram posts and doesn't have proper knowledge to get into it. Days passed and today it is her birthday. I remembered the conversation and wished her. Already she had Binance, so requested her to send the bitcoin address and send a small amount of 0.0011BTC as birthday gift.

I know it is not good to send gifts to the centralized exchanges. During the conversation she said she is interested to learn about trading and for that purpose she had downloaded Binance. While meeting her in person I will brief her better about the security and need for non custodial wallet.

I've added the conversation that happened through the WhatsApp.




The nature of girls is always to love money, and since she knows that having Bitcoin in her wallet equates to having money, she will undoubtedly become excited once she sees the market booming. I hope she does not end up selling because there are many trading principles, including knowing when to take profits and keep the capital as well as managing risk, and once she finds it interesting girls are better in time of dedication, so I am sure she will be a better trader. Because you intend to accompany her through the introduction and because security should be taken seriously, neither your key nor your coin should not be overlooked.
1167  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 19, 2023, 06:09:53 PM
I would say Chelsea was quite unlucky throughout last season.  Of course, we all know that every club would experience the same at least once in a decade. So for now it will make no sense if we keep pressing on the "WHY" of Chelsea's condition.
Many keep talking about Potter and Todd Boehly as the sole cause of the club's predicament while few speak about the way forward. I'm more worried about how the new chelsea would be in the next season, seeing that the club is already showing signs of a bad start by planning on selling Covasic and Kante.

Every team has a season of prospects, and despite the money that Chelsea spent on players, they still did not perform well. Chelsea wasted several golden opportunities and narrowly avoided relegation in premier league on like the Chelsea we know. You make a valid point about waiting to see if Chelsea's current developments can enhance the team's performance, but I believe that even if Potter gave it his all, the play itself was sufficient. And I can see that Mauricio Pochettino is sticking to his guns about retaining Kepa has is number one.
1168  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 19, 2023, 10:00:48 AM
Graham Potter is still without club now. I thought he shouldn't have been signed by Chelsea in the first place as I saw it as a risk. Because Chelsea can be much more successful with managers who have at least a decent experience with big teams in Europe. Potter wasn't such manager so it is normal to have doubts about him.

I'm afraid he couldn't prove me wrong about this and his time was a big failure. I think he should go back to managing average teams in the league. I'm not saying this to belittle him of course. I'm saying it because he is much more successful with such teams. We have all seen how good he was with Brighton in the end.

Chelsea saw potential in him and was willing to give him a chance it was difficult, but I believe everyone deserves a chance the truth is that the man has potential being a coach is not easy, and the amount of pressure on them is not simple but one thing about people is that they do not really count your success they expect you to always do better every single time. and I am aware that the man messed up and was unable to archive anything while still at Chelsea, and since he has not been hired by any club to coach, I believe he should use his time wisely to gain more experience so that he can improve himself, which is especially important given that he wishes to continue coaching.

What is going on behind the scenes if CZ claims he is not in collaboration with the company then who owns and runs the Binance Nigeria? How hilarious so CZ is trying to claim that Binance Nigeria impersonation. The whole situation is confusing, and if it is true that CZ don't have any collaboration then it is very risky to do any transactions there and that is why I always avoid keeping my money in any form of exchange because it is always risky.

I don't know much about bitcoin, and I also want to invest in bitcoin, but I want to ask whether bitcoin has good potential for the future? and what,, many people who lose investing in bitcoin.? and I want to know why people experience losses investing in bitcoin?

With Bitcoin, there is a possibility of losing money, which has made many people millionaires as well as rained on lots of people, However, there are many ways to develop risk management skills, and records show that many people have profited from investing in bitcoin over the years , Take security seriously and hold, and since halving will be taking place next year, bull run will be around the corner no jokes only the strong can survive. If you can harden your heart despite the dump and you can hold, I don't think you will have any issues with investing in bitcoin.
1171  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, suspended!! on: June 18, 2023, 06:55:52 PM
Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele has been suspended with immediate effect on Friday over an ongoing investigation into the matter of the new naira redesign policy and in his absence, deputy governor, Folashodun Shonubi has been put as acting governor.

For every naija person, dis issue of the naira redesign policy no be new tin as we all experience the hardship wey the tin cause and for one news wey bin release, former presido dey beg naija pipo to no vex, say e no no say d naira wahala go cause kata kata

 For Godwin's defense, e say d naira redesign purpose na to stop mago mago for election wey go stop am from bin free and fair.

https://www.channelstv.com/2023/06/09/tinubu-suspends-emefiele/


The suspension is intended to serve as a warning to those who think they can get away with anything since it has reached a point where someone must take responsibility, some positions have been taken for granted, and someone must now step up. The corruption is getting out of hand, so the EFCC chairman has been suspended, and I believe he is also being questioned at the DSS office. I like Tinubu Agender for tackling each problem separately. Then, in order to give individuals a little breathing room, we anticipate raising the minimum wage.

Well, the problems started originally with Graham Potter. His invitation was probably the key mistake because before Chelsea he had no big clubs and the result was average in Chelsea itself at first, but after the purchase of star players it became even worse. Apparently with the arrival of new stars Potter finally lost control.
The invitation of Lampard was also incomprehensible, because before that he had been sacked just because of poor results.
I would not say that, since what all coaches want is to build a better club and initiate their own idea on the players, that's his one of the significant functions of a coach is to guild the players on the best strategy to adopt, and potters mission to improve Chelsea was a failed one, and even Lampard did not succeed in coaching Chelsea when potter was sacked, and it was getting more difficult for him to control Chelsea but since they have a new coach lets see if his strategy will favor the club.

Quote
Poccetino has experience working with the most star players, so at least he shouldn't have a problem with discipline. The main thing is to show results in the beginning to return everyone's confidence that Chelsea are still a top club.

Since Chelsea is a top club but is broken, I hope Poccetino will be the solution to Chelse's problem and not make it worse because sometimes the solution might be the actual problem still waiting to see the out of his performance. It will take some time before we can actually give Poccetino his due if his doing a good job or not it is all a gradual process.

So Liverpool can be the strongest team in the tournament (even though it s too early to judge), they might not win it. If the best or strongest team always wins it, then there will be no fun in that and gambling will be such an easy thing to do.

Quote
I don't see  any reason why Liverpool won't be able to win  Europa League next season, I know this will be a competition that Liverpool won't take for granted.  If Liverpool eventually win Europa League they will get easy access to qualify for champions league, and English Premier league league won't be easy for Liverpool because of many  teams have become strong and targeting to win Premier league, I'm sure Europa  league be a target for Liverpool.
I have a lot of disagreement to make on this comment and am wondering where the confidence is coming from because you don't know players that Liverpool will be signing you don't know if they will perform well or not, and other clubs too are making preparation, to sign in new players and you can not judge this season with next season.

Quote
It will be very disappointing if Liverpool fails to win Europa League,  because rating the teams that are participating in Europa League, Liverpool still remains the best of then all. Liverpool in Europa League next season will be so much  interesting.if Sevilla is to be in Europa League next season I don't think they will be able defeat Sevilla.

Liverpool is already losing his balls and is still perplexed as to where this speech is coming from. I won't dispute much, let's wait and see. Once the next season begins, I'll think back to this comment because I have no doubt that some clubs will also want to win.
1174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are you tired of waiting for the jump? Pls Hodl on: June 17, 2023, 04:39:21 PM
This is not the first time bitcoin is experiencing price drop, it only needs few time; months or years to correct and hit another ATH. Few years back many investors took the loss and cashed out their money, believing that bitcoin settled for lesser price. Don't be in such a hurry to move out your investment; bitcoin is falling in price so that it can rise up again. Below is a tweet of a bitcoin investor 12 years ago, that should encourage people to hodl and hope for the best in the market. I know some will never sell, when it hits a high price, but for profits purposes there's no gain in withdrawing an investment now that the price is below or slightly above the amount you bought in the market. Unless you depend on the funds for survival or for other important dispute, keep holding on. Tom only had to wait for 6 years to meet the 2017 pump; a long time indeed! Isn't the wait worth it?



Photo @Rizzo

I don't encourage you to sell at a loss, Imagine buying at 10 dollars and selling at 3 dollars I think that will be better, no pain no gain waiting till the price goes back to its normal price, and have profited I think that will be better. For some time now, bitcoin has been experiencing a serious price drop that has affected a lot of people, especially those who have invested heavily in Bitcoin. Holding and waiting is not as easy as it has been said, imagine your money dropping. and for some like me, I don't think I will be selling.

President Tinubu Signs Student Loan Bill Into .
This bill is a welcoming develop as we use to hear about such only in Western countries and a very few African countries, and am convince that some many other African countries would be influenced to follow this same road map as a way to encourage those with passion for education but doesn't have sponsor to go to school.


Quote
“The education system is to change. We would overhaul it and tinker with some areas with the philosophy that no one would be left behind. There will be student loans for all. We are going to reform the Almajiri system, We are equally going to build more schools, recruit more teachers and train them,”  https://www.facebook.com/groups/1439702759499956/permalink/2693479117455641/
On the other hand, it shouldn't just be like one of those other many bills we have had in the past that is dormant and being swept under the carpet without it effect being felt by those the bill is intended for. Let there be available and easy means as to any students that's interested and in need of such educational loan to fund his education and there should be made a working means of punishment or consequences to any bank that may want to deny any student that have passed through the appropriate corridors necessary to be eligible for such loan. Cause from what we have all seen in the past, it's not about signing in bills into law but promulgating it to meet the purpose for which it was made to exist.

What's your take on this development?



I think adopting  the system of granting students loan is actually  a good way to show his good intention  and fulfilling his promise of allowing the poor breath and not suffocate them, I remember  some people while I was in school  it was very  difficult to always pay school fees but I think with this development  come with flexibility for parents and students  and I hope there will be compliance once is time
To pay back. I think tinubu is positive and will improve a lot am certain. This country seriously broken and needs to be fixed.
1176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Easy or hard to quit? on: June 16, 2023, 06:41:07 PM
Can you quit gambling if you make a life changing money and never go back to gambling?

I asked this because those who made some money through gambling near me always go back to gamble and they end up losing everything they once made through gambling.

Is it fine to say that people should not go back into gambling once they made high amount of money? Because the chance of losing that money again is very high, even if they don't use all the money to gamble at once, gambling can take it all back in time.

Have you ever won a high amount of money from gambling and managed to not lose them all back to gambling? And to date, you are still gambling?

I find gambling to be enjoyable, but if it becomes something you cannot do without engaging in, there is a problem. Addiction is a risky condition that has destroyed the lives of many people. If you see where some people are placing bets, you will be scared because they want to get greedy because of greed and they keep losing games. Some people in my region are seen gambling has youth empowerment and they keep placing bets until they sell everything they own and keep believing that they will win. I believe that those who are addicted will find it impossible to stop, whereas I play for fun and can stop whenever I want.
1177  Other / Archival / Re: No panic while holding my Bitcoin on: June 16, 2023, 11:56:24 AM
Hello everyone, i just want to share my thought here as a newbie, i bought my first bitcoin two weeks back, after spending the first month studying and reading everything as relate to Bitcoin, the time spent on learning and gathering knowledge have started to pay off for me during this period were the price of bitcoin have nosedive greatly.
Let me explain what i mean in details.
First before i bought my first bitcoin, i first of all build a good understand of the market and how bitcoin volatility works, and also learned about the effect of external forces in determining the price of Bitcoin  such as exchange crisis and other governmental policies that can have short time effect on bitcoin.
Secondly i have learned never to panic during any crisis time or when the bitcoin price drop significantly because in the near future it will increase in value again, and also to hold an amount i can afford to look away from for a long time.
This and many more is the reason behind my current confidence in Bitcoin's ability never to let me lose if I hold for a long time.
Indeed knowledge is power, because knowledge can save you when money failed, because knowledge failure is a lifetime problem but money failure in terms of investment is temporally and if I wait I will soon be in profit again very soon, that is what past records have shown and proven.

That is what most people do not consider when entering the Bitcoin market, which is understanding the market and some techniques so that you can enjoy the ecosystem, people who don't have knowledge will keep losing money and learning the hard way, but once you have knowledge on something it can reduce risk and has a lot of advantages BUT MANY PEOPLE DONT KINOW THAT and all they want is that money and the aspect of holding and not panicking is not as easy as you think considering what Considering what emotions can be at times, just remember that no pain, no gain, so let's hope for the best. It's great if you can celebrate while others are rejoicing.
1178  Economy / Economics / Re: Rent or buy real estate - let's have a debate on: June 16, 2023, 09:32:16 AM
I have been debating about it with couple of my colleagues whether stay on rent or buy a property.

Let's assume, you are well capable enough to buy a new property through bank loan. Your income supports the mortgage payment so banks are willing to lend you money.

What will be the best route to take? Buy the property or stay in a rented place?

The usual appreciation rate of your property value is around 10% owing to the development work that are ongoing. For rented property, your rent increases by 15% every year.

What's the better option for you and why?

I think if I had the money I would preferably go for real estate and keep modernizing my house to my taste, and I don't know about your region but the price of houses for rent is really going up, and if I have my own crip I would not bother wasting money on rent the best thing is to own a house but most people have the money to build themselves a house but some the nature of work they do does not really give them that opportunity to own one then they will reconsider once they retire which I think is the best.

When I take a glance at the upcoming Premier League fixtures, I see some of the top clubs have quite an interesting lineup. Out of all the teams, Manchester City seems to have the easiest opening fixtures. I wouldn't be surprised if City walks away with wins from almost all their matches, definitely will get 24 points in the bag. While Arsenal also looks to have a relatively comfortable run in their early fixtures. But, there's no team in premier league right now can compete with City because they're miles ahead of every other team in the league. Man City might defend their title this season again, but anything could happen. However, I feel it's going to be a wild season in the premier league 100 percent.
The experience of manchester city has given them a good advantage against other clubs, especially Arsenal, they were able to secure good points that have created a good margin that has made it difficult for other clubs to meet up with, aside been good you also need to develop strategy everyday to succeed not only in the premier league but all leagues, as it is now no one can truly compete with manchester city they has made history over time and with time they will start fading away also. other clubs are already warming up to take Manchester City's position.

Although I still studied, I invested a small amount in Bitcoin. I will get married if I get a good job. Many people give many things to their wives as wedding gifts, I have a different plan. I am planning to gift bitcoin to my wife on her wedding day. Bitcoin is still illegal in my country so I invested with caution. On my wedding day I want to gift half of my investment to my wife.
Should I gift bitcoin to my wife? I want your advice

The question now does your wife have an idea about Bitcoin the idea you can know whether she going to value it or not, women can be very funny since the only thing they are attached to is material things cloths and bags, and I think gifting her is still not a bad idea at all since it involves money, she would not mind learning about and spending the bitcoin, and another thing is that I feel you should observe her first before concluding to make that decision of sharing half of you wealth, women are always full of surprice before they will run with your money. be wise bro.
