If someone posts in the forum, many people will reply to it and everyone's opinion will be different.  We should encourage newbies to learn trading, not to trade. Because learning trading in one day is not possible. It takes years to learn trading.  If we ask newbies to invest without knowing it, they will start thinking of it as gambling.  That is, depending on luck, only invest and face losses.  It will be very harmful for them. First they will suffer financial loss and also they will break down mentally and turn away from trading altogether.  Is it good?  Or is it better to learn trading and then invest in trading?  We should give trading tips to newbies.  Inform about hold sale.  Ask the experienced to follow.  Asking to refrain from investing without understanding like a fool.
An advice can't be withhold it's only meant for the reader to actually take it as its deem fit because many newbie don't know that the reason why most senior give this advice about trading is because of the experience they have gotten in the field and there is this logic which says experience is actually the best teacher but the only issue is that it would be better to learn from other people mistake and experience so as to avoid committing such again.

Arsenal have the home advantage and I hope they utilize it to their advantage, amongst all the teams they have met in the EPL, Manchester city happens to be the only team yet to suffer a loss from Arsenal, Arsenal has suffered only but one loss this season in the premier league, on the standing arsenal is below Manchester city at third position , a familiar occurrence every season.
Arsenal's meeting with Manchester City in the near future is a meeting that will be very interesting because both of them will try to win the match. This is because the points gap between the two is very small, so both teams will try to win in order to gain a lead in the number of points in the standings. I also really want to see Arsenal win at home, because Arsenal very rarely experience victory when they meet Manchester City in the Premier League and I hope that will no longer happen to Arsenal in the near future.
Manchester city have broken their bad losing streak and we all know what that actually means because they will be red hot wanting to gather as much point as they can and one thing about these two teams is that Manchester city always find a way to get the three point over arsenal although arsenal this time around is looking well structured and I think their squad is fully activated and not suffering from injury as the way they were during the two time clash between the two teams .

Mbappé played very poorly in the match against Newcastle. Mbappé is completely lackluster. According to my calculations, in this match, Mbappé had 49 touches of the ball, with 36 passes. He also only had one shot in the 85th minute, but it missed the target. Along with Mbappé, striker Muani for 100 million almost left no mark, played chaotically, and rarely finished. That left PSG completely deadlocked in attack, while their defense made too many errors leading to goals. Newcastle gave Mbappé and PSG a nightmare.
Mbappe did not appear as expected in this match, he was made helpless by Newcastle's defense which appeared solid throughout the match. It was recorded that he only fired one shot throughout the match, that one shot was obtained by Mbappe from outside the penalty box which did not aim at the goal. However Mbappe was not the only player who performed poorly when PSG was beaten by Newcastle, Randal Kolo Muani also did not have any impact on the team's game.

Another player who did not make any contribution was Marquinhos, apart from playing badly in PSG defensive area, he was also the main cause of Almiron opening goal for Newcastle. Luis Enrique must be responsible for this defeat, he failed to develop a good strategy which made the PSG players lose direction in their play.

PSG seems like an mediocre team, even though their squad could be said to be more capable against Newcastle. I agree that Luis Enrique should be responsible, because his tactics and strategy made PSG have a bad performance at there. Hopefully, at the next match Enrique can be serious about beating Milan. Because it is an important match for them to secure three points, considering also that match will be held at PSG home. If they can only secure one point or none at all, it will be very difficult for PSG to qualify because the gap with other team very close.
Psg have really fallen out of place and if they continue like this then they might certainly have a big problem by the end of the season because even in their league one games it's a problem for them to actually secure a victory and I think its because of the lose they actually enquired by the start of season which is two players of very high caliber and influence to this team because I know that for sure if Messi and neymar were present in this game the whole scoreline would have been a lot more different.

Hello friends

In our modern society, the fear of being scammed by king pins and other fake platforms has made many people to loose interest in investing bitcoin.
This platform is to enlighten the society that there are real investment platforms and also people earn bitcoins for a living, so they should give it a try and invest so they can also earn and also when it comes to this particular fear I think the environment where one is actually staying also contributes to this fear because just the other I was actually explaining the basic essence of bitcoin to a friend and all he could even think of was that I want to basically scam him of his money of which he doesn’t even know that bitcoin is actually a currency on which people benefit wonderful opportunity like through savings.
Well it's no suprise to me and thats why so many people here actually advise not to force someone into bitcoin knowledge and in the case of fraud, well even the fiat currency are use for scamming not only bitcoin. The world is designed to always have certain lazy people who always tend to take advantage of people naive nature. Bitcoin is something that always speaks for itself and that's why people that will be interested will always come around no matter what time its takes them.

Day trading & gambling do have similar features. Short term investing in blockchain does trump both of the latter I believe.
Indeed I will agree with you on this because short term trading is way risky as same as gambling and believe me I have had a taste of both and the results that yeilded from both field are the particular ones am not too proud of and I wouldn't ever advice anyone who is not an expert in trading to ever even venture into it. It's more preferable to just buy little coins and save and hope for the market to boom once more
Well life itself is actually base on risk because nothing is actually safe and although trading is more base on who is skilled and if one knows that he isn't then actually going to trade it's actually a stupid risk because you will get drained because trading is actually a crazy gambling that is hidden in the name of statistics and candle stick reading. With all the little experience I have had in trading I won't ever have the thought of risking any coins knowing fully well the odds are against you.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 04, 2023, 08:53:59 PM
I will quite gambling when I do not see it as fun again. If I do not derive any fun from gambling, then why I mine gambling. This is not by age or anything than the fun that I am having when I am gambling.

If I have grown up, maybe I will quit gambling but I do not think so, especially if I still have the fun when I am doing it.
We can always experience fun in gambling as long as we don’t see it more of a source of income. That even if we are losing, that won’t matter as long as we get the fun and got entertained. But I also think when the time comes that I’m no longer capable to work anymore and my source of income will be limited, I don’t think I will still be able to gamble and look for fun. For me, gambling will only waste my money and effort by that time, instead I just spend my money on things that are more worthy than to spend it in gambling wherein only me gets satisfied.
Hmm I don't know about gambling in the old age but over here in my place I have seen alot of old guys that actually don't have anything doing again and they actually use gambling as an escape route to their problems. Gambling is all the rage here in Nigeria and many old folks have taken it as a day job it's actually quite funny if you get to see this from the perspective am actually driving at because you will actually get confused on the main purpose of gambling.
1627  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 04, 2023, 08:43:41 PM
I am certainly not surprised that Paris saint Germain and losing to Newcastle right now. I have always had this feeling that the game would go in the favour of Newcastle, Paris saint Germain this season is like any good team in France (I would place Lens ahead of them right now) while Newcastle wants to prove themselves in every match the player, the coach and players are in sync and the fans are loud cheering them on.

For sure Newcastle would go further than the group stage in this seasons UEFA champions league because they actually aren't just a rich club they can actually play good football.
So many people here downgraded the ability of Newcastle United to beat almost all the teams in their groups, which is very possible because they are very good defensively and their midfield is better than that of AC Milan, Dortmund, and PSG; they are just big teams that have already made names. That is why people were thinking that Newcastle United will be at the bottom of the group after all the group stage matches.

Newcastle is now winning PSG 3-1, and PSG is playing its best squad. I am very confident that Newcastle will win this match because they have the ability to defend their goals till the final minutes.

Many people that made initial predictions were making reference to their poor Premier League start Newcastle United have, which is now gone because they have improved their league performance because they beat Manchester City in a cup and are also the club that scored the highest number of goals in one match in the Premier League this season; therefore, I am expecting them to qualify ahead of Milan and Dortmund.
Newcastle have certainly cleared the doubt of everyone and critics on the height of standard  that this team has come to achieve, although PSG are not in the best state of a team because the team is currently facing devastating gameplay and performance but we actually can't deny the fact that this Newcastle team are no longer a team to underestimate because they are now in the top of their performance.

But to say the truth I actually never expected them to be this poor against Newcastle, I mean a score of 3goals to one is certainly a poor results for the height that PSG is currently rated in football.

This loan people have really dealt with the personality of many of the guys that actually took loan from them because I can remember an instance where my sister's boyfriend collected money from one of these so called loan services and after failing to pay for just a week these people started calling and threatening him and the funny thing is that they started posting shit things about and they sent one of the messages to my mom saying that the fellow is actually a fraudster and is wanted for scamming not knowing that it's because of a simple 6k loan defaulted.
1629  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Stop discouraging people from Bitcoin... on: October 04, 2023, 08:15:13 PM
I have noticed something about some people in this forum...

Why is it that everytime a newbie shows his or her interest in trading Bitcoin, some people will always try to discourage the newbie?  You see them saying things like “Bitcoin trading is not for newbies”

None of us here was born a professional trader, fact is that we all had to start from somewhere. We were all once a newbie, until we started learning and putting in the work.

So when you see a newbie ask for advice on how to start up on their journey in Bitcoin trading, don't try to discourage them, rather give them the advice on how they can start, and also let them be aware of the risks and how to avoid it. If we must grow the community, then we have to learn to encourage everyone to get along, and not try to discourage them.

Bitcoin is for everyone, and no one should be left behind.
Thanks.
Actually as a newbie and you feel you have the knowledge about trading its better you just go off and start the trading because asking of advice makes it seem you actually don't know what to do and I actually believe experience is the best teacher so you having your own experience in Bitcoin trading will actually be the best knowledge you would ever get.

I remember when I wanted to start up trading exercise in Bitcoin i was actually advice to have enough knowledge before I started up but I decided to slide the advice and actually went to practice by myself and believe me the experience i had was the one that got me wishing that I actually never actually started without getting prepared.
1630  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: What else should we call this on: October 03, 2023, 11:37:28 PM
Why I bring this matter be say, if bitcoins go make life comfortable, make people their own bank , why government wey dey act like say them care for their citizen go dey fight am. This one na pure wickedness and e show say selfishness and corruption dey for the whole world.  If the government in every country believe in freedom, why dem go like hold people hostage in terms of financial freedom. This matter no clear at all.  Make person no talk say them no understand the system bcos na high tech people dey work with bank and dey know pass that one. This one na the highest level of wickedness wey dey happen for many country. Even if some country don dey allow people use bitcoins now, but e no dey always clear on their next move.
Omo, you just dey pour your own heart completely for ground from the way you dey sound and Omo, e no bad to reason like this o but, watin you no know pass you.

Before I talk anything, watin I go like make you know be say, “Freedom without any form of control na chaos”
Na why we get rule of law for every country, to put people in check.

Financial freedom is an idea but, no be watin we go jump over as, we still need fiat to be well functional for us to get anything close to a stable society.
For government to allow or permit anything, it’s to ensure say them leverage watin them fit provide assurance for. With them not being able to do that with bitcoin, them no fit give the go ahead.

While we dey look up to the selfish reasons and why I like the idea about decentralization and financial freedom, we go always give the idea space to develop in the heart of our government.
Finally for once person don actually talk truth about this whole financial freedom matter, yes everybody know say satoshi nakamoto do well to bring this wonderful initiative to help humanity but if you know human being well well then you go know say the one thing wey dem sabi do na to abuse everything wey get good purpose and bitcoin no dey exempted for this matter. My brother this your talk about too much freedom causing chaos is actually the logic here because humans can make use of the decentralised nature of bitcoin to actually do many issues for the world like fraudulent activity.

Already many cases don surface already about how the use of crypto dey cause problems and this is one of the reasons also why many government dey go against am but  the truth be say nothing can be a 100% good.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do star players affect the odds of a match bet? on: October 03, 2023, 11:04:01 PM
When it comes to betting the odds are gotten by based on the performance of the team and not just by how good a player is playing for the club. Yes it can increase the probability o winning the match but not the main odd changing. Sometime it depends on which odd as their are other odds given to players, number of corners to mention a few. So if a player is so good at scoring in most matches his odd in scoring a goal in a particular match might reduce but when he begins to score less goals in matches it becomes the other way round.
If you are frequent In the gambling industry and also with the way sportbook actually moderate their odd ratio then you would understand that players can actually affect the amount of odds given to the  team. I mean just take a player like Ronaldo for example who is very good and can influence a game during his peak and take for an example it was discovered that he won't be playing for his in a late hour information, I can bet that the odds which will be altered from the original one given to his team when it was reasoned that he was going to be featured in the game will definitely be of great differences because the sportbook knows the possibile outcome of him not playing the game

I still can't tell how it happened or what went wrong in the game between Manchester United vs Galatasaray, this is a winning game for Manchester United but they weren't ready to get all 3 point. At some point I ask what is Amrabat doing at the left back of the defense? Like what's happening to this UTD team?
ETH is using his hands to create so much confusion for himself, as it is Copenhagen is far better than Manchester United in this champions league.
If Copenhagen can stop the Barbarians from scoring 3 goals in that encounter then they're better than Man UTD, and if you look at it from what both teams (Man UTD and Copenhagen) have played against Bayern Munich you'd agree with me that Manchester United are going to find it hard to win Copenhagen in their next game. So I feel ETH just need to create something different from what we saw tonight just to at least get a point in this champions league games.
Well that's actually united for you and I think same old problem of a confuse coach is starting to creep back in the team again. For some time now United or should I say Eric ten hang has lack the ability to work and make proper decision on this team and tonight show another example of such. Watching Manchester United play is now becoming an unbearable experience and the management needs to do something and especially ten hag because if they continue like this then like you said defeating Copenhagen will be a two sided thug of war.
1634  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Too much pressure on the male child on: October 03, 2023, 10:16:03 PM
This is not limited to Africa, and I believe it happens throughout the world. Expectations from a male child are excessive, and when they become unbearable, they engage in unlawful acts or do anything possible to get favour and be appreciated in society more than others.
It is also crucial to understand that the increased expectations placed on the male child causes them to work harder in order to provide for themselves and those who are most important to them. It is acceptable to urge a male child to seek a source of wealth, but not at the risk of pushing them beyond certain bounds that will have an impact on their future.
They put too much pressure on men, yet by nature even in the Stone Age, when males were expected to hunt and farm—guys are meant to provide at any costs. But even at that there is time for everything there is particularly time for everything is not even a do or die affairs And because of the high expectations placed on male children in our society today, young male children are under a lot of pressure to follow the latest fashions. Fraud is growing every day, whether it be through wearables or phones. When you clock a certain age as a male your responsibility will increase and when it comes to that you need to work harder.
Sometimes pressure can be and it's good but not when it's too much because too much of everything is actually not good. Well it's the system of the society for men to face such pressure because the whole responsibility of the family rest on the male and although these generation it tends to be reducing because women are actually failing their responsibility and also the standard of life has cahnge alot because women now have a fair share in their participation in almost every field in life .

People, run as far away from Cryptoplay as possible. It is the biggest scam in the betting world that I have seen in the last 20 years.

Yesterday they stole all the profit I made on sports betting with the ridiculous explanation that I used arbitrage with another service, but they couldn't provide me with any proof. Apparently, their sports provider has that evidence, but they don't even want to tell me the name of that provider.
If you take a closer look at their competitions and rankings in the casino, you will see that there are very few players. I managed with a rollover of only 6000 dollars (everything was played in the sportsbook) to enter the 80th place of the ranking list in which they supposedly share 2 million dollars. Don't be naive...
OP had easily countered your claims with a simple screenshot they had posted here. If you are confident with your claim against this casino, you can post a scam accusation in the proper board and make sure to put some screenshots. You are lucky enough that OP is willing to return the differences despite the explanation about the the violation you had made. Though I'm still not sure who is telling the truth since no one had provided some strong evidences between both of your claims.
Comments like this are expected either their be true or false bit the ultimate thing is that if the accuser have any proof to back the claim he should post them already but from the look of things,  the guy is just trying to cause some crisis in this thread unless he comes up with more evidence that his profits were all withdrawn as he said.

I had a run through the casino and I discovered that their sports bet section is not fully developed and is still under construction but this user mentioned that he won all the profits in sports bets so that is contradicting information that points us in a different direction.
Contradicting indeed,but all the complaints of the accuser I think has been actually counter with the screenshot  provided by the OP and I think these stories of users getting their account is actually not a new thing anymore here in the forum and the most annoying part is that most of these so called accuser don't actually provide enough proofs to what they are actually try to claim and we all know how thats makes you look as a complainer. As you are trying to stand on a claim proofs is actually what gives you an edge over such cases because most casino tend to blame the players always where as most times latter is the case.

What about people wey say them be company or factory worker? Robots go replace man power there by leaving you with no choice. because your line of business don dey outdated and you Don dey old.

There have been bots in factories since many years ago, it is not new but just upgraded, yet the factories are employing people. There are some parts that humans are needed.

Driverless cars will be very expensive. If there are many made, when it becomes what people should use for commerical vehicle, I believe the driverless cars would have been converted to the one that human being will drive Grin because to maintain it as driverless, it will be costly. But nobody knows tomorrow.

What I think is that bots can not do everything, humans are needed.
I think I will hold you on that statement as you said "nobody knows tomorrow" which is quite true because with the way the world is advancing it's just a matter of time before so many things run out of place or their usefulness. The use of bots have been there ever since but as the more technology is improving everyday that's same way these bots do get upgraded too and as per cost of the new technology well I think time is the only factor that tell because I believe their is a time when all this new technology will be easily accessible maybe not now but it's eventually going to happen.

Nobody knows if the price of bitcoin will go fown again. It may or may not as it is hard to predict bitcoin price movement.
Yeah is actually difficult to predict Bitcoin price movement, but if you watch closely for some months now Bitcoin price movement has been ranging on a consolidation pattern such as moving within some price levels without an actual direction weather it will move uptrend or downtrend and also considering how far the year has gone which is the last quarter perhaps there could be a chance of Bitcoin price to remain within this zone till the halving take place next year and perhaps if Bitcoin was to dip more and more it would have done it months ago, for me I think Bitcoin is giving everyone the buy signal to start accumulating immediately and not to wait or expect more dip before accumulating, however the Bitcoin tends to spikes up massively after halving so let's get in and start accumulating before is late.
Yeah the price has been dormant abit interms of movement, not going up or down and like you said it maybe because the halving is close by so that's why the price is stagnant. Many people out don't actually know this logic that's follows the price spike after the halving because I have a friend who actually feels the price movement will follow up by the end of this year and then expecting a bull next year and I have been trying to clear him about this notion of his but as nothing is sure in the price prediction I thought I would jus leave him to speculate ad his likes because bitcoin market is all base on speculation although past history have proven this logic about the price movement always after the halving.

Yes, even so, Chelsea is still the favorite in this match because they have a strong squad. However, so far Chelsea's season has not shown a stable performance, and that could be an opportunity for Fulham,
Yes, although match predictions are always difficult and the results can be different from expectations. but for this match I think Chelsea can rise and become winners, even though they won't score many goals, Chelsea's chances of winning are very big even though they are playing at Fullham's home ground.
In fact, I don't think so, Fulham will play at home, of course they will have more motivation and Fulham will definitely play with confidence after knowing that the Chelsea team is currently in a very bad state, Fulham can take advantage of this to be able to win the match. This.
It is true that the betting market still favors Chelsea with smaller odds compared to Fulham, but I really don't believe in Chelea's revival anymore, I will bet on Fulham in this match and I am quite confident in my bet.
Well everyone has their own opinion on how the match is going to end because Chelsea has disappointed in many games before now and funny enough even with their game with Brighton in the cup match I actually predicted Brighton to have a win in that game but it seems I was wrong and they suprised everyone and won that game so for this game against Fulham am really being optimistic because I actually don't know what they are going to play out but i think if am to predict I will go with a draw on this game.

I made a mistake of getting paid for signature campaign in gambling platform accounts.
When I got my payment, I thought I would slowly increase the amount by about 5-10% before I initiate a withdrawal. But I quickly lost control of my emotions and ended up blowing the entire balance of my account. This happened more than once, it happened about 5 times as I received money from different sources.
It’s important for me to tell this story so that others don’t make the same mistake I did. This has been a huge life lesson in managing money and emotional self-discipline .
It's a normal phenomena for every human to actually want more despite having little at their expense because we always feel we can grow our balance without even thinking about the downside of what happens when we actually lost that money to gambling in the platform. Resisting such feelings is not actually very hard but after a lesson learnt like this one of yours one can adjust so as to avoid such errors again.

Fear sometimes is actually a good guide to decision making because our fear of certain things make us cautious about the possibility of what might actually happen if it all goes wrong. But fear also reduces your chances of making that decision and risk that might possibly blow you up, and I don't know of you actually familiar with the saying that implies "no risk no gain". Fear can limit this part in our life but sometimes too some risk aren't worth trying if you know what I mean.
