Did anyone see that coming? US pre-match talk was all about being strong, and not lying down to take Panama. And then they go and lose. You BSFL guys should have seen it coming and gone for 6 or less. USA the clear vulnerable team out there and still, I picked them to win. Ha!
Uruguay look comfortable, and the most free-scoring team even from qualifiers. I'm really liking them! Darwiiiiin!
The pre-match talks were actually in line with expectations and would have materialized if not of the 18th minute red card received by Timothy Weah, in that reckless strike he gave to Roderick Miller, the Panama defender, in the back of his head. Obviously, Timothy does not seem to imbibe some of the amiable qualities of his father George Weah who has won the Ballon d'Or and was a super star in football before he retired and join politics to become the president of Liberia. Despite the red card, US still scored first, 4 minutes after the red card although 2 minutes later Panama equalized, making it 1:1 at half time. Well the effect of the early red card contributed to the second half pressures that saw Panama scoring the second and winning goal which US was was unable to cancel even after Panama later received their own 88th minute red card. Despite the loss tonight, US is still in second position by goal difference but I have the feeling that they may not advance to the next stage because their next match is against Uruguay, who they may not easily defeat, meanwhile Panama will comfortably collect the 3 points when they confront Bolivia. |

The Nigerian Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) have taken a new direction in cryptocurrency which is opposite to their outright condemnation and animosity that lead to the crackdown on exchanges and other crypto related businesses. This is as a result of the advice by IMF, which simply shows that our government can benefit more from a regulated cryptocurrency than an outright ban(which might likely not be possible). Consequently, the SEC have issued a 30-day deadline for all crypto firms to register their businesses in their website 1. This might set the stage for full regulation of cryptocurrency. However, given the peculiarity of our country, there are still many things that should be a concern to many regarding the modus operandi of this new approach and how effective it will be. Some of them include: - Taxation: Can Nigeria effectively implement cryptocurrency taxation? Won't there be loopholes that will lead to unprecedented tax evasion?
- End to conspiracy: will this new approach bring an end to the conspiracy that cryptocurrency and exchanges are the reason our Naira exchange rate is terrible?
- Crypto adoption: How deep will this new policy push crypto adoption in Nigeria since we know that the potential is there already?
Let me see what other think about this new move. [1] https://cryptoslate.com/nigeria-issues-30-day-deadline-for-crypto-firms-to-re-register-under-new-regime/ |

This is impressive and I say congratulations. I have won free bets in the past but unfortunately I have not been lucky to win anything with them. I tend to be too careless with bonuses and free bets, playing games I wouldn't play with my deposit. Now that I know what's possible to achieve with freebets, I will be more serious with them.
The matches you played are actually strange because the Chinese league and Iceland leagues are most of the hardest to predict and playing away team to win first half is one option I wouldn't have considered. Once again, I'm able that you are able to achieve this wonderful result.

I am sending Money To Philpine and using found Website https://tangopay.co.uk/ in My Ads and when I checked their remittance rates its far good as compared to other remittance website can anyone review about it and tell me their experience. Thanks A lot of things does not look good for this company and I will advise you to be careful. That they are a UK company does not mean that everything is well with them. First they charge zero fees which is a red flag already and look to me like ponzi scheme. Secondly, there have been very bad reviews about the website in many review platforms I have checked. So be careful if you don't want to lose your money. Instead of taking risk with this website, why not simply use Bitcoin that is safer and faster? The transaction fee of Bitcoin is at the lowest I have seen in a long time so Bitcoin is a better option. |

This is the reason I felt we can discuss the merits and demerits of casinos setting withdrawal limits. What is your opinion?
I do not think this is what discussing. Really? Have you not seen people bashing casinos for setting low withdrawal limits? Do you think that assuming there was a withdrawal limit in place for the case being discussed in the post in question that it wouldn't have helped avert the death of the gambler? Well, it might be your opinion that the topic is not worth discussion but I doubt majority of the people here will think that way because deposit and withdrawal limits are part of the major things people check when registering in a casino and somehow they are used in rating casinos. I feel that such discussion will help gamblers understand the importance of setting those limits by the casinos. |

Most casinos set withdrawal limits and this is usually perceived by some gamblers as bad practice. However, after seeing This post by lovesmayfamilis about a gamble winner who died of heart attack when he won jackpot of $4 million, I am having the feeling that setting withdrawal limits and procedures for heavy winnings might have some life saving merits. Assuming the man was subjected to gradual withdrawal process, I believe he would have grown mentally to handle such amount of money because it was stated that the excitement from the winning was the cause of his death. There could also be other benefits such as helping the gambler not to spend the money lavishly if it comes in bulk. This is the reason I felt we can discuss the merits and demerits of casinos setting withdrawal limits. What is your opinion? |

I didn't find this news here, which is now being actively published on social networks, but it can be discussed. The news is that a man in Singapore won a four-million-dollar jackpot and suffered a heart attack after learning of the win. More details: https://www.ibtimes.sg/singapore-casino-tragedy-viral-video-shows-mans-collapse-after-4-million-jackpot-75035Sometimes joyful events end sadly. A person who learns the news experiences stress, which causes a strong heartbeat; and adrenaline levels to increase; and if the winner’s health is not very good, misfortune can happen, as happened with the player from Singapore. Have you ever had a time when winning a large sum caused inconvenience and did not bring you the joy you expected? Such an unfortunate situation! I have seen this kind of incidence before but not related to gambling but a major breakthrough that the person could not enjoy the wealth simply because he could not handle the joy, hence died when celebrating. I know if this is the reason some casinos put withdrawal limits but I'm not seeing the need for casinos to put withdrawal limits to check some of these things. Assuming there is a limit in the casino such that the winner can only withdraw 10% of the money at first then gradually over a period of one month or more time the balance can be withdrawn, this can help the winning development the mindset of a millionaire within those period of withdrawal. |

Well if it is just for fun, we could bet together, even putting money together. Aside from thus being for recreation only, I might not be willing to join funds with friends to place serious and business-minded bet. Why should I do that when I have my personal account to gamble in private and my friends also have theirs? Besides, I wouldn't want issue of money to bring problem between me and my friends because money is one of the know thing that separate friends. The person whose account the money will enter might be tempted to do something funny. So to avoid this situation, it's better we gamble separately unless it is just for fun just like I stated before.

I know this is common sense to the majority of people on this forum but I can't stress how important it is to gamble responsibly.
There was a recent case in Australia where a man lost his entire life savings of $400,000+ in a 48 hour gambling spree.
The gambler lost $12,000 in a single bet and then tried to chase that initial amount but ended up losing his life savings.
I am a seasoned and experienced gambler and my one piece of advice to people is to only bet what you can afford to lose otherwise you are setting yourself up for failure.
This advice is right on time because we cannot stress it enough. Even though casinos always put this statement in their websites, gamblers rarely pay attention to it. The above example is a good emphasis on the need to gamble responsibly and if gamblers see what damage irresponsible gambling can do, I'm sure some people will learn and gamble better. I have paid my own dues as regards to irresponsible gambling and I learnt the hard way. Such experience is not sweet and not many people will remain normal after passing through it. The most important aspect of gambling is managing the bank roll. |

Don't open a thread asking what you have to do, that's what you have to do. If you do that what you are indicating is that you are a lazy person who has no initiative and is waiting for everything to be served on a platter to make money here. Because that's the end, no need to dissemble. In this forum you can earn money, and that's why people open threads asking what they have to do to "succeed" "earn merits" or whatever it is that leads to earn money, which is the purpose. Something that seems to me very well if you do it in an honest way and put effort and commitment, because the money you earn in an honest way is a measure of the success you have, of the value you bring to society.
Most of this questions and threads are done by newbies and it gets me surprised how someone will create account in a forum like this but will not spend few hours going through the forum to see if what he wanted are there, rather will create thread asking to be spoon-fed. To me it is a sign of laxity and nothing else. The right thing to do is go through the forum boards to take a glance and see what is available and what is not because the answers to most of their questions are already pinned at the top of most of the boards. |

Recently, I have seen often talking about how Bitcoin is not going up fast enough, I usually see this mostly on social media. I haven't really seen it on this forum but I'm bringing it here just in case there are people here who have similar views
Almost exactly a year ago, the Bitcoin price was $30,534 on the 27th of June 2023. This was a year ago and at the time, this was a pretty impressive price because Bitcoin just hit $30k. A year from that time bitcoin is at $61, 423 (at the time of writing), that's a 100% increase in price and a 100% profit if you invested at the time.
A few months ago, we were celebrating Bitcoin at $40k, so how come now that Bitcoin is at $61k we're unimpressed? How is $60k looking ordinary when the previous ATH before this year was $69k?
Maybe it is because of me that the price of Bitcoin has not gone to the moon just yet because I have not met my objectives, so BTC is waiting for me to reach my accumulation target before moving  . Indeed Bitcoin have done so well within a space of one year and it is worth celebrating. I remever when price lingered in the "don't wake me up region" after which it broke out and we were so excited that price finally moved and that was even sub $40k. Today Bitcoin is sitting comfortably at $60k yet there is serious dissatisfaction in the Bitcoin community. Well, don't blame people because the expectations were high that the combined force of the ETF and the Bitcoin halving will send the price above $100k. This was the expectations of many Bitcoiner but as that didn't happen just yet, many have become frustrated with the waiting. But we must understand that the market will do what it wants and that no one can completely decide what path it will follow. Our best approach should be to think long term for therin lies the peace of mind needed by every investor. I have the feeling that the price will surge just when no one is expecting |

I believe that nothing is perfect, that is why there is room for improvement. If a bug is found in Bitcoin, it will just be like the Ordinal attack which impacted Bitcoin but gradually or should I day have been resolved. People are constantly looking for loopholes in Bitcoin and other great innovations and that is normal because without those loopholes being identified, there will not be room for improvement. We just hope there will be no bug that is beyond redemption or that will cause serious damage to the Bitcoin protocol.

Croatia is really in a difficult position that tonight it has to beat Italy if it wants to continue with the competition, and on the other hand, a draw is enough for Italy. It is interesting that Italy never managed to beat Croatia in official matches.
~
Bookmakers are currently quoting the Croatia - Italy game as: 3.15 - 3.15 - 2.44 and I must say that in this tournament Croatia looks much worse than 3.15. Italy is also not perfect, but I like 2.44 better. It seems to me that this game will end with Italy winning 1-0 or 2-0 since they have an advantage (a draw is enough for them) and they know how to defend. I am in agreement with the rating of the bookmakers because Italy is definitely the favourite to win tonight. Croatia have not been the best of the team we watch in 2022 world Cup. Deep doing I'm actually expecting a draw so rhe best option to go for will be Italy to win or draw. Although, the odd is very small but it is more conservative and when c1wombined with Spain to win will give something significant. Spain will not have a gard time winning Albania who are already out of the competition. |

 Based on TA, I think we this daily ORDER BLOCK would hold and we might see a trend reversal from here. My opinion though.. For futures traders, I'll suggest you do top down analysis and use lower time frame for entry. If I'm buying to hold for long, then I will consider buying from this level the price is because that is a heavy discounted price that will yield maximum outcome for a continuous buy from the level upward. However, if I'm trading for quick profits and short term hold, I will wait further because there is still liquidity below the $60k region that price will first seek before any sustainable upward move is expected. Although a limit order at various price points down to below the point of liquidity will yield optimal outcome. |

Germany managed to score a golal in extra time.
This was a vital point for them since also Spain will probably end 1st on its group, Germany positioning themself in 1st position have managed to avoid the game against Spain in the 1st elimination stage.
They will now probably face Italy or Croatia instead.
I'm so surprise to see Germany struggling to get a draw against Switzerland in a match that many people believed would be an easy win for the host nation. Well, they might have felt that since they already qualified, there was no point fighting too hard but assuming the lost the match, Switzerland would have topped the group. This draw also shows that surprises are not excluded from this competition because many people would have placed a direct win bet on Germany. As for me, I usually avoid games where the favorite side do not have any reason to be too competitive unless I have monitored them so well to see that their care more about records than the trophy. |

I know that as gamblers, everyone can relate to this question, as we have surely experienced it in real situations.
Suppose our bankroll is $100 and it has already grown to $500, would you quit or continue? Conversely, if with our bankroll, we are down to $10, would you still continue or save the remaining $10? I used specific amounts to make it easier to discuss this situation. I understand that we all gamble with different amounts based on our income, but consider this as an example. You can mention any amount you want based on your personal experience; it doesn't matter.
No body quits when things are going I your favor. Depending on the type of gamble, if your luck is shining and you have won and still winning, what is best is to withdraw part of the money or 90% of it and continue gambling with the remaining 10%. This is my pattern and it has helped me secure my wins and also maximize the opportunities of good gambling days. On the other hands, I have a limit for bad gambling days and a soon as that limit is triggered, I will stop for the day. In summary, quitting is easier during losing than when winning is happening. |

Before sending funds to trade on your centralized exchange, always check at immediate time If the exchange still allows NGN (#) P2P because the way naira is been scrapped off from the P2P feature is overwhelming.
Ignorant to do this verification before sending funds from your self-custodial wallets to the exchange wallets will always cost you excess expenses on transaction fees from an exchange to another before you could realize yourself and call it mistakes.
I think the crackdown on the exchanges have began to wane following the realization of the government that such activities amounted to exercise in futility. We read how the federal government withdrew all their charges against Binance, all that are pointing to the fact that the exchanges have no hands in the ordeal of the Naira, rather government policies does. I was hoping that some government officials will be sacked for misleading the government but here is Nigeria where there are no consequences for rascality in government. I don't think much has changed in the p2p market recently because we already know all the exchanges still offering such services to Nigerians. If peradventure you make a deposit to any of the exchanges that have deleted the NGN, you can simply withdraw through the TON network that have zero withdrawal fees. Although not all exchanges allow the TON network but at least the popular p2p exchanges in Naija does and I have used it in almost all of them. |

Turkey vs Portugal
Portugal — Costa, Cancelo, Dias, Pepe, Mendes, Palhinha, Vitinha, Fernandes, Bernardo, Leao, Ronaldo.
Turkey — Bayindir, Celik, Akaydin, Bardakci, Kadioglu, Calhanoglu, Ayhan, Akgun, Kokcu, Arturkoglu, Yilmaz.
Here we go for the top teams in the group, today we will know who will lead in the table, to me predictions can be make but let see what the first half will look like.
I'm so disappointed at Turkey in the very match. They are playing as though they were not for the competition. I understand that Portugal is the favorite side but I expected some serious resistance from them, a fight that will give them the hope of at scoring a goal. With their performance that is looking like they are fatigued, it will be hard for them to score a single goal tonight. Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo have once again demonstrated team spirit and leadership in the ball he passed to Bruno Fernandes. Ordinarily Ronaldo would have scored but seeing Bruno was in a better position, he passed the ball to him to make it 3 goals to nil against Turkey. |
