I actually think the girl was right. We all have that civic right of Right to speech and expression and she was just expressing herself. She only said what she has been seeing. Them arresting her is totally wrong because they didn’t even have evidence or warrant for her arrest. It was absurb for them arresting her.They wouldn’t have gotten angry if she wasn’t right.
Yeah it’s good to control what we say in the public but in my opinion we shouldn’t neglect the fact that we have right. If not because money, power ad fame has taken the order of the day she was actually innocent.
If you know how this country dey then you go know say to control your tongue is every important because the whole system is whack and especially the police force. But notwithstanding know how to talk is very important because many many people don mis out for their blessings because of the way dem dey talk to people. But the police detaining the girl is not a new thing because there are so many cases of these kind of issue even the one way no be the person dey at fault the police go still turn am upsidedown against the girl or people.
1182  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Buy bitcoin before the halving on: November 23, 2023, 02:07:56 PM
Bitcoin halving is going too happen next year, as we all know, people in all countries are waiting to see this halving. Bitcoin halving is a very happy time for investors because after the Bitcoin halving, it is not too late for a bull market to enter the Bitcoin market. Of course, we've seen in history that the Bitcoin market goes up a lot right after the halving, and it's highest ATH. If a person likes too trade then this can be another trap to lose money as trading is always risky. When you start trading in the market, if you have an idea about the market, u will face a lot of losses and lose money, so it is better to refrain from trading. If u plan for short term investment it may give you small profit for military period but not high profit. That's why u should stop trading and instead plan too invest for long term, it will give you high profit. When you invest Bitcoin before it halves and hold until the bull market comes, you are guaranteed too double your profits.
It's a matter of choice when it's comes to trade and believe that they are some people who claim to be very expert traders and I think traders can only lose during this period as they can also use it to their advantage one way or the other. But I feel in order to be in the safe side, you that you are not an expert on trading should just avoid the whole process at once and rely on buying as much Bitcoin as you can so that after the halving you can earn some profits from the much expected and speculated bull season that comes after it.

1184  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever been a gambling addict? on: November 23, 2023, 01:45:12 PM
I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?

To be honest in the past I have spent a lot of money gambling. What I mean here is that I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe the nominal amount is not that big but it makes me feel like a gambling addict. I spent 5 months of my savings on gambling. Currently I am aware and am in the stage of improving my own financial condition. Have you ever felt like a gambling addict? and how much did you lose in gambling?

       -  I have never experienced anything like what you experienced, and I don't want to experience anything like that. Because when I gamble, I make sure that I only control and limit what I gamble.

Because this is what I have started and made a habit of as a gambler, and this is also what a responsible gambler should say. Just play and enjoy the games. As long as you win and lose, you both enjoy them, and you don't take them seriously.
If you always get affected by your loses then reaching this mood won't be any hassle for you because you won't be knowing what you are doing and for everytime you gamble you can let go of the loses and before you know you have started chasing your loses which is the most easiest signs to know that you heading towards being a gambling habit.
1185  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When does the moment come when the gambler loses control? on: November 23, 2023, 01:36:09 PM
But I believe that the greatest dependence on gambling appears at the moment of loss, when the player admits in his head the idea that he could earn so much. He is disappointed, but wants to recoup. It is at this moment that the desire comes to play again and again in order to return to the previous state.


This seems to be a common situation for gamblers who don't grasp the risks involved and refuse to acknowledge that losses are part of the game. It's an undying issue in the gambling world for many irresponsible gamblers spending more than their actual budget. Unfortunately, some even reach the point of blaming gambling for their misfortunes rather than reflecting on their own approach to it.
It's very funny when you go in playing for profits and after the loses inquired, the whole feeling of profits gets out of your head and the fight for your own funds start kicking and on that moment you are emotional destabilize and nothing you will ever try will work out for you. And if you don't know how to control yourself you could go all out and lose your whole bank role in just few seconds. The gambler is just eager to recover from his lost and forget the more he tries the deeper he gets involved.
1186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a steady income haven on: November 23, 2023, 01:27:27 PM
On the contrary, it’s not very easy to make money in gambling. Perhaps notions like these are what makes people go into gambling hoping to make easy money quickly only to later realize after having bad losses, that it’s not so easy to make money with gambling.
Of course, it’s great to win money and most people would love winning money but the desire to win money should not cloud any sense of judgement. It’s not that easy to win money in gambling and if you do win, don’t be in a hurry to stake more in a bid to win more else, you’re going to be very sorry.
Well, it's obvious that it's difficult to make money in gambling, it's not 'perhaps' but it's the reason that they are gambling, the allure of easy money and instant fortune is just too tempting for them to not test their luck, I don't agree though that they are the kind of people that will realize all of that, they're likely to just brush it off and call it a day and then gamble again, I am sure that's what most gamblers who think like that are going to do.

I don't even know how these phrase even exist "Gambling is not a steady income have", I don't know how that can be a possibility that can happen, maybe if you are regular poker player or blackjack player that can keep a decent win streak to keep going but those two possibilities I've given it's unlikely that someone really does it. It's kinda weird that people even say it because it's never been a steady income haven in the first place.
You are not the  only one who is confused by the phrase and like what I always say when I see something like this, I just think it's a lie being told to himself by the gambler because I have come across so many gamblers who actually think they can actually do or should say take their gambling habits as a steady income heaven that he can use to pay for his children school fees and feed his house hold. It's funny how people can blatantly tell themselves all these lies and even believe in it and these kind of stories or lies are very dangerous and can entrap another gambler to become upsets with the habit feeling he can acquire same feat being talked about.
1187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: November 23, 2023, 01:08:05 PM
Liverpool is one of the favorite teams in the European league this year. I don't see many teams that can block them. Some teams coming from UCL may be strong and force Liverpool, but I am sure that Liverpool has the power to beat any team with its great squad. They can even beat Manchester City.
Indeed. Liverpool and Leverkusen are the most favorite teams to win Europa League title this season. I really hope these teams will be in the final round, it will be an ideal final. Liverpool has a strong squad, their squad quality have been proven enough, they even can beat Man City in EPL. Sure, Liverpool has the capability to beat any team but unfortunately they sometimes do unnecessary mistakes and it leads to the losses. Sometimes, Liverpool players play underperformance, especially their attackers. If they can play consistently and avoid the mistakes, no doubt Liverpool will win this competition this season.


At the moment it is true that Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen are the favorites apart from AS Roma, but we also have to wait until the Round 16 playoff is finished because we will see several other strong teams that could be their challengers, maybe there will be Manchester United or one from four teams from Group F of the Champions League, and competition in the European league will be even more interesting because the competition will be more difficult for any team.
The quickest opportunity for Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool to face each other is the quarter-finals because in the round of 16, all the teams that win the group will only face the team that wins the playoffs, but the most interesting thing for the competition is when the top teams meet each other at least in the semifinals or finals so that to be the ideal finale.
If Bayer Leverkusen met Liverpool it would be interesting because Xabi Alonso was once a player at Liverpool and was quite successful in bringing this team to the Champions League title.
that's true because lots of team will eventually fall out of the champions league and join the Europa league and believe me this always makes the competition more competitive although the teams in the Europa league are also strong contenders of the trophy. For the case of Bayern Leverkusen and Liverpool, I think jorgen kloop will always come out victorious although it would be an interesting match to see how the Liverpool legend faces off with his old club.
1188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in psychic betting? on: November 23, 2023, 01:01:17 PM
Psychic betting is placing bets based on the prediction of individuals or even animals because of the belief that they possess supernatural power to accurately determine the outcome of a bet. There is the true story of Fatih Ozcan[1] who helped his boss Hayati Kucukkoylu to win a $1.7 million lottery through the power of dreams. He claimed that he received the revelation about the Euro Millions tickets from his dreams. There is also Paul the Psychic Octopus [2] who is known to predict international football games correctly. He even predicted correctly that Spain would win the  2010 FIFA World Cup. Some persons also believe in the gambling predictions of religious leaders [3] to place bets. Some people believe that lunatics are possessed by some supernatural powers so they also depend on them for predictions.

Do you take these Psychic predictions seriously?

For me I think all these will just be placed under the state mere coincidence and nothing more because they are also lots of times that the same octopus might predicted wrongly and if it's all psychic predictions then what would you call the wrong predictions all are you telling me that for every time that the so called psychic octopus predicted are all correct because I would like to beg the differ and believe it's all coincidence.
1189  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How do you avoid scammers? on: November 22, 2023, 10:34:44 PM
I think the most simple ways of avoided scammers are just to first
1. Learn from people mistake in every way possible so as to make it count and have bear it in mind that scammers are real and they are aware.
2. Always try and stay updated because scammers are at their hands and head working every day so as to catch their next possible.
3. This is most important for me if you ask me and  its learning how to maintain or control your greed, because it has the ability to draw you close any attempt by a scammer or fraudsters.

For me, it's hard to level my trust in BTC using 0 to 100 since I only invest in what I can afford to lose so i'll say it's around 60-100. I  don't know for others on what number they will use since we all did the same which is invest what we can afford to lose. To be honest, I don't rate my trust in BTC because I don't think I can level it myself and one more thing, I don't think it's because of those two that it is the factor that will change the overall level of trust we have on BTC because Bitcoin had already existed and been use many times before it existed. I agree with the above post that we shouldn't dwell so much on our level of trust in Bitcoin.
Well, you have your opinion and trust level on Bitcoin. But I think when it comes to trust level, Bitcoin has gain a particular amount and alot of people actually respect and trust Bitcoin enough to use as high as 80% of their earnings especially during this vital period in the market and this also what has led to this share growth of Bitcoin over the years as it has completed the repeated circle always and will always let people have something to believe in it more and more.
1191  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How Confident Are you With Altcoin In This Time on: November 22, 2023, 10:16:39 PM
My father bought 50.000 $ Bonecoin 1 year ago .By the way he is ordering to me to do these kind of investments duties.I had to do that I said:It's a huge amount father are you sure that you're gonna risk all this money for just a coin?
-yeah ı'm sure be cool son
-ok father you always have a plan  Grin

a few months later this huge money reached 85.000$ I said;
-Father! well done you risked correctly.It's time to deposit it come on!!
-No son we should be patient more for a big hit

results:It's just 30.000$ now. Angry Angry Angry
Funny story, but this just this shows the volatility of altcoins and also the greed of some humans which is quite normal as everyone has this in a few amount, the issue is the lack of control which obviously he fails to have, if not an investment that has given you a profit of about 35000$ different, would have been okay to close knowing fully well altcoins are not Bitcoin and shouldn't be traded or held for long term but instead short term investment as their unstable is very very high.

1194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would You Crowdfund for a Gambler Who Has Gambled Irresponsibly? on: November 21, 2023, 10:56:27 PM
A few days ago, I posed a question in this forum, wondering if, as someone who engages in gambling, you've ever considered thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run. I carefully went through all the responses, maintaining keen interest and taking note of each perspective. Another aspect of the inquiry involves whether you would be willing to participate in crowdfunding for a fellow gambler who reaches out to the public through social media seeking financial support after they gambled with the funds meant for an important project like, investment, school fees, rent, marriage or any other thing. And what would you say to those who go ahead to donate to these gamblers out of a sense of empathy?
If he gambled irresponsibly, then he does not need crowdfunidng rather he needs to visit a psychologist for help on how to deal with his gambling addiction. Giving money to him is just telling him to continue from where he stopped.

So I don't see the need for crowdfunding such fellow and I will never be a part of it.
Thank you mate, it's as simple as you have explained it because no gambler that posses that kind of attributes should be let to continue in gambling, let alone be crowd funded. Every irresponsible gambler needs help although gambling addicts dont normally take advice from person and only them can be of help to their own crazy habits because if their is no willingness to stop it then the gambler doesn't need a thing like what crowdfunding because it's a total waist of funds.
1195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The love in football on: November 21, 2023, 10:48:49 PM
Which football are you referring to? Real football like NFL American football or soccer? I personally cannot stand soccer, but i'm only 1 person. My dislike is mainly related to the betting of the sport, it's just not my favorite. Now if you are talking NFL football, I LOVE THAT!!! Big hits, awesome celebrations after scores, many betting options it's just a great sport.
I think he is referring to football (soccer in United States). I do not like sport generally again too because the odds are low but some bettors prefer it saying they can analyze it more than casinos games but I prefer casinos now because of the better odds to chances of winning or losing.
Interesting taught on the odd setting of football sport betting, because it's almost as if these bookmaker easily manipulate the odds in soccer or sports betting than any other type of betting. It's always like you, as a gambler have an advantage because of how people can draw conclusion as this games due to the fact that it's a sport that is played live and we can make proper stats to aid your prediction but believe me this advantage just makes the sport even a little bit harder to bet because of how the odds are easily manipulated.
1196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: November 21, 2023, 10:39:22 PM
If what I'm hearing about Erling Haaland is true, being injured on International duty for Norway, Manchester City could find it very difficult to win against Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium because Manchester City will be playing Liverpool without their two-point men which are Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland. I'm seeing Liverpool getting a point from Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Yeah actually rumors has it that Erling Haaland may likely miss there weekend match against Liverpool do to the injury he has but however I don't know if truly he is going to miss the match or not, but however if is true that Erling Haaland injury will prevent him from playing that match  then I don't know what will become the faith of Manchester City on that match because Erling Haaland is there only finisher.

I know that there are many good players on Manchester City but the role of Erling Haaland is very important that Manchester City will find it difficult to cope without him.
Rumors of Haaland injury are a concern or scary news for Manchester City fans ahead of the match against Liverpool. Due to the many injuries to key players making Guardiola a little uneasy ahead of the big match in the EPL, Guardiola has to design a new strategy with the players currently available to play the big match after the international break.
This news will certainly be good news for Liverpool, even though Manchester City still has great players in the same position, the ferocity of Manchester City attack line will be slightly reduced without Haaland presence. Liverpool can take advantage of the conditions that Manchester City are experiencing to steal three points, but Klopp will try to use this Big Match carefully because Manchester City could hurt them with all the advantages they have.


These recent games in national teams were not good for some top teams. Many players got injured during these games and many teams won't have the good performance they had before these players got injured, I think Haaland getting injured is a complete nightmare for Manchester City and Guardiola because he is the most important player on this team and Guardiola is surely counting on Haaland for the Premier League and the Champions League games.

 
That's why most manager don't like releasing their star player during the international break but everyone knows it's vital for them to go and representative their country so it's needed for them to play. Manchester city losing haaland would be a great loss but I think pep guadiola is going to find a way to adjust the squad to soot their playing as Manchester city has players who can play haaland position and really do well too at that.

1. Critical thinking: there have never been any job opening that doesn't require candidates to have this skill, because every company needs it to grow. And under critical thinking include skills like problem solving, idealist etc.

2. Socialization: Mainly the corporate world will call it interpersonal relationship. It's a very crucial skill anywhere we find ourselves in the world. And gamblers who participate in board games, easily develop the skill. When in the office, they'll always socialize and make friends with co-workers.

It's almost true to everyone that if you're a gambler, you're likely to have developed this career skills with gambling because you will be a social person being a gambler and you will also you will have to be a fast and accurate thinker because you will have to be in some situations that may warrant making the possible fast and accurate decision with gambling, while being all through this with some gambling platforms, you're learning and developing your career skills with gambling.
This sounds really bogus for me " career skill in gambling". Is this even possible for anyone to have such a thing with gambling? I can relate with the part where you can will be social as a gambler because am also a gambler myself and I know one thing about gambler they really can socialize, just like the way smokers relate with one another  Grin. Over here in my place all the gamblers are fund of having a level of social skill that I can relate.

There are couple that were once known as Ethereum killer like NEO and DOT then there is LTC as well as XRP. I used to have them in my portfolio sometime back but it felt they are not worthy it for various reasons. I feel it is better to buy meme coin and take a big risk or invest in coins that have been in the market and are on the top 10 position on Coingecko.
Sometimes people get interested in those coins at the top list due to their rating but some of these coins at the top aren't really worth buying and like you have already stated it can make you lose your investment so I don't really buy any coins base on these ratings. Selection of the right coins for investment is actually hard and sometimes it is what leads to many crypto enthusiast making the wrong choice.

you clearly didn't understand my situation and lost a beautiful opportunity to be quiet about it or try to understand it instead of making a comment that adds nothing (desctructive criticism vs constructive)

my personal preference would also be to have the posts counted by week instead of by day
this way timezones wouldn't matter,
but the way the campaign is done right now, timezones matter, that's why I'm asking.

and I don't think users should miss payments for 6 posts in one day and 4 posts in a different one
but I don't make the rules
I think Hhampuz is a great manager and I don't have to agree with all his practices and choices of rules to join the campaings

also important to notice that I'm not complaining about not receiving the payment this week but asking on why and how to improve because my mistake can be other's mistakes too

have a nice day.
That's very correct mate, asking questions isn't harmful at all and it opens your insight to fully understand what you done before and take correction. Well I also had similar situation and just like you, I asked the manager and he carefully explained just the way he did to you now and I took to correction, which I know is a +1 to me so as to enable take correction and carefully read the rules when next joining any subscription here.

Hampuz is one of the best managers in the community here as he is always strict and discipline with his time preference and I adore this about the manager and I know his explanation will also help you out alot.
1200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Miss Universe 2023 betting today. on: November 20, 2023, 11:18:17 PM
It is strange that although I knew there was a Miss Universe competition ongoing as at yesterday, it never occurred to that the bookies will have it listed on their website. I don't think most gamblers in this community placed any bets on the just concluded event. You know we are mostly all about football, casinos, Boxing, other events are not as popular. Well, gotta keep my eyes on bookies that will give odds for the Mr Olympia and Strong Man competitions in 2024. It would be my first time so I will have to start from now to do my homework.

There are still a lot of gamblers that are interested in these events that are held annually. You can say that this might not be as popular as traditional sports but they still get a significant viewership, and a lot of people may want to be in the action, too. There have been some local betting events near my place that also went with the Miss Universe pageant yesterday and they managed to amass a lot of bettors in such a short span of time. Most bet on Ms. Philippines, though we know the outcome, and they were not happy with the candidate not even belonging to the top 5 finalists.

 Grin Grin I can only imagine what your friends will be feeling now as their prediction were not placed even in the top five, but thats the beauty of gamble, no one knows the end result and this is what brings the enthusiasm to the sports. But I must say this kind of gamble is kind of rare in my locality, people are more familiar with the more the popular type like sports bet and casino games.

It would be nice to actually stake on beautiful lady, seeing if your selected choice could be the possible winner although I don't know the range at which the selection of the winners are actually taken from.
Actually, anything could be gambled about. Heard about US Presidential Election? There is a topic in this section wherein people made their own guess on who they think would win and same thing goes with pageants of such. As long as there is a contrast between two or more parties regarding the outcome of an event, then it could be a bet but most of the time thru internal agreement between parties 'coz not all platforms are listing such topic on their platforms or site since not all are interested about it. And that's the difference if we would be wanting 'new' topics to bet with; it should have enough community size to support the topic and so that other people could get interested of it, enough for them to place a bet. Problem is rumors with tournaments or contests wherein rumors of cheating could take place as well unlike with normal betting games wherein you'll just bet and wait for the outcome.
This is true, because is done almost every where in every way possible because I do myself gamble with my wife on some particular things in the house be it gaming session with the kids. But although I like to keep it discreet when it comes to gambling around my kids but Just as you stated gambling can be done on any two things of contrast and gambling on beauty pageant isn't all that strange to me too. For the thread on us presidential election, it has become very popular and I think maybe some gambling sites might even have it on their site.
