Your idea is good. To have different means of income is really important in this present economic hardship but the challenge will be how you can manage your time.

Somehow cryptocurrency business is time consuming and you also have to give it time if you want to succeed in it except you are only hodling but if you plan to trade without giving it time it gets you into loses. But surely there is need to diversify your income source and the area of interest is in line with what you are already having basic knowledge on.
1662  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: October 11, 2023, 08:00:24 AM

Does this even make any sense?


Yes, it does. You are the one that is making it look like financing but it is not exactly regarded that way. It is either referred to partnership.


Because the only place this makes a bit sense is the skills base niche like forex trading or crypto trading, how can gambling/gambler be financed?


It is not only in trading. It happens in gambling. You can get someone who doesn't know how to gamble but hears that your games are always winning, he can strike such deal with you.


Have you heard of such before? What is the end result if you have?


Yes I have heard and seen but not often times.

It is usually when someone doesn't gamble but wants someone who would forecast while he provide the bet money or they jointly agree on how much to contribute and sharing of the potential.

This is possible when one party doesn't gamble for one reason or the other, he could "hide" under a friend to contribute betting money and share from its proceed. This is more witnessed in offline game house. Like if he knows the attendant would report him to his parents or pastor, wife so he can decide to bet that way.

But must times it is because the party doing the analysis doesn't have money to stake his forecast. I have not seen issues in such but the partnership doesn't last because at a point the other party would learn to gamble direct or stop along the way.
1663  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 11, 2023, 12:08:57 AM
For me, if abortion is only made for the sake of having fun without any particular reason like saving the mother from possible death if she still carries the baby inside her womb, then this is not right because babies are human beings and they have their own life and as if you kill them when you wanted to extract them without any valid reason. That's why prevention is better than cure and people should not just freely impregnate women if they don't have the right to do so and they don't have any means to becoming a parent.

Apart from this point that you have made, what about the instance where it has been discovered that the child will be deformed and instead of allowing it to be born and cause the baby to suffer because of the deformity or bring stress for the parents in the course of taking care of the baby such abortion was suggested, what will be your opinion in that kind of situation.

The federal government though have treatend several times to scrab the scheme have not been able to do so my question is if the scheme is scrabed, is there any part of the economy that will collapse or suffer, brings me to think what the reason is why the federal government have not been able to scrab the scheme .


The government is of course claiming that it brings the country together and that means if dem scrap am most things go spoil, including the routes wey dem take dey thief money. If country dabaru, then no where again to take thief money to get capital and invest and climb to over night riches by just steal and dig ground put am.

1665  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included) on: October 10, 2023, 09:13:58 PM

Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?

Answers to all these questions you asked are not the reasons because they are subject to the real reason. There is a causative factor that made it less focused on. There are gambling sites and gamblers who gamble on it, there are media houses that cover their activities yet it will not be as population as the male counterparts.

Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors?


Here, the real reason that male football is more watched, followed, engaged or advertised on is male football is the standard that has been placed in football. That is everything thing about the football comes from male football and the female football is a follow up. This means the male football is the standard to be looked upon. It is just like saying, the original version of female football is male football and when spectators look at female football, they don't see what they see in male football which is the standard looked upon. Therefore, it creates a lot of traffic interms of adverts because advertizers know they would regain their from sales. Sponsors know they will generate money from tickets.

It is a circle that creates money from different angles both for gamblers. Not many gamble on female football whilst not or advertizers decide to run adverts on female football or hugely on it because they know the spectators are usually not much compared to the male.

However, this is likely the situation of any male dominated sports and also for female dominated sports because there is the standard set for the games by the sex (man or female) who started it and created the precepts.

1667  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: October 10, 2023, 05:21:49 PM
For me I still prefer to do holding despite knowing how to trade, since it's more riskier to do trading as you can get liquidated in just seconds, but in the other hand you could also profit quickly. Which I think it's not suitable for me, I would rather do hodling with the DCA method since I'm not the type of person that would analyze and always check the market cause it will drain me. Imagine working,studying and trading, it will literally affect your mental health as well your physical health. Maybe full time trading will be applicable as you can focus on the market.

It is really such a difficult exercise with trading. Your analysis of the whole challenge of the struggle to get a life is funny but seriously that is what it is. Sometimes it seems like 24 hours in a day isn't enough to achieve all you want to do . However, properly planning of time will get you to achieve alot that you want to do. Yes being a student and having time to study can't really allow you to get some other things done. So hodling is more preferred too , the risk of trading is high.
1668  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: October 10, 2023, 04:14:28 PM

Hodling is a term used to describe owning Bitcoin in a wallet especially for a long period of time.


Not only long-term, I think short term too is hodling especially if you are not trading. It is the intention that determines .


While trading on the other hand refers to the selling and buying of Bitcoin through an exchange.
 Both Hodling and trading have some similarities such as ;


P2P also exist. Arbitrage also exist. Not only if you are involved in active trading to be regarded as such.

2. For both trading or hodling to be possible you must own Bitcoin.


I don't think so because you can buy altcoins or stable coins if you want and do whatever you want and convert back to btc. So you must not have access to btc for it.
1669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: October 10, 2023, 02:57:25 PM
When gambling, we need good self-control so as not to spend too much, and we already know the adage of only using the money we can afford. If you have experienced a losing streak, you should stop because it can affect your emotions. Later, you will not be able to stop before you win. But even though you win, you still lose because if you count everything, you will see that the amount you lose will be greater than the wins you have obtained.
Well, this is not something you can just conclude because because its like a coin with two sides, for some, they indeed might experience a long losing streak but when luck hits, they end up winning an amount of money that is far greater than what ever amount the gambler have spent while losing. at least, I have seen this happen with several gamblers, most especially in slot or casino games when the gambler luckily get a very nice multiplier.


I think the whole difference of gambling continuously whilst having a losing streak and also increase the stake depends on the player and whether they are addict who has enough bankroll to increase his stake. Addicts usually don't focus on their losses at least not when they still have some bankroll to deep in for more multiplier to win back their losses. Does gamblers who focus on their losses are those with low bankroll and the regular gambler. An addict focus is the winning that can come in the midst of losing that is why they don't give up easily but to even increase their stakes to scoop their losses, it is all about target for the addicts.

1673  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin investment and real estate investment, na which one get advantage pass on: October 10, 2023, 09:12:59 AM

Sha, we all can't make the same choices, and I think it all depends on personal goals and likes.I really love real estate, so I can't pick BTC over it. We all know there are lots of gains from owning a land, house, or estate. It's the only asset that doesn't diminish.


No doubt that buying land and properties have long lasting value pass btc but land too dey diminish base on certain circumstances. Those circumstances na the things wey go affect that land particularly in question.

If you go buy land wey dey inside gbege, hmmm na im be say you don enter.

If you buy land wey dey swampy area, that one too go make the price of the land go depreciate. I sabi say person go say how you go buy such land when dey no close your eyes but people still dey intentionally buy them hoping say government go do something on the area base on wetin dem hear for radio or television regarding construction for the place. Also sometimes buying land for dry season no too good because you no go really know about the topography of the place and during rainy season every where go open mouth. Land for places wey no get accessibility no dey increase in price as such but all these said, if government enter the area, omo those land value go shoot up.

I still prefer property far above btc investment. Me I believe say btc bull na temporary and if you no sabi when the bull don expire, omo na next 4 years you go expect your profit, depending on how much price you take buy or you sell in lose.

Who says she is not asking for refund  Grin

If the tear she is shielding is genuine then impliedly she is asking for help and help means refund. Nothing would make her cry if she is not regretting gambling with the money that she used on the game. Truly ladies are not able to stomach somethings particularly about your money and their money. Well if she didn't get support or refund then she would have learnt her lesson of gambling as she can afford to lose.

3. Single bet or double is the way to go, sometimes a triple. But not more, it always at least one favorite team that won't win that day so be careful to only bet on favorite's team.


I like this suggestion because it really works. Lately some gamblers have started using few games and to increase their stake on it and by that the risk in losing is reduced. Someone has been given testimony of how it has been effective for him this way and since he started gambling on few games, he has been winning continuously.

Really, when gambling on numerous matches the possibility is high for losing but you can concentrate your analysis on few games. Some times you can even bet on a single game, it increases chances of winning but the challenge is increasing the stake that is why gamblers shy away from playing only one game at a time. They want to stake multiple games so that the potential winning will be huge and they try their luck with just little stake.

3. If mother got pregnant accidently via one night stand and she doesn't want baby, then abortion is probably okay, probably, because child will suffer from growing up without loving parents and most likely she will be abused by a mother or stepfather. But this part is very debatable and I don't have fixed opinion about that. There are cases when mother doesn't want baby but grandparents take it as their responsibility to grow them, so, it's very debatable.


Yeah amidst all the valid points and very brilliant indeed, this happens to be debatable just like you also agreed on that. For me if couple mistakenly get pregnant when they are not planning it or one party tricked the other to get it or it is just honest accident, I don't believe that they will transfer hate or agression to the baby so long the baby is not physically challenged what so ever. I have seen couples who end up loving their "mistaken" child more than the rest. Like I don't know about couple that will hate a child that is physically okay and mentally sound just because the child is "mistakenly " conceived or couldn't eventually aborted when they tried to remove it.
1677  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 09, 2023, 04:03:59 PM
Well the discuss about abortion is really taking a center stage especially with the freedom enshrined in almost all countries constitution.

Morality was taking a center stage, that it bad to take a life and in some countries, it is a crime to abort but such countries also go to war and bomb even hospitals where the sick and helpless is recuperating. It is really a wide topic and I will just say it is a choice.

Some people have purpose to avert a new life to be added to the family, whether health wise or not, whether logical or not is left for couples.

About reducing the number of population like we have some Asian countries having that as policy, I think with the reality of economic hardship, homes in Africa and new couples are already having the mind not to procreate more than what they can take care of.
1678  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A matter of family conflict regarding Bitcoin. on: October 09, 2023, 03:31:16 PM

Bitcoin is getting more and more popular, and it is labeled with many different stories. I can see many people blaming Bitcoin as the cause of all the problems, but clearly the main problem is people causing them related to Bitcoin.


This is not the problem of bitcoin, neither did bitcoin cause the problem in that home. There are different investment areas and when it comes to the family or couple, they have to discuss and agree on the investment they want to go into and both parties should know the disadvantage or advantage, profit or losses accruing in the investment.

So regards to bitcoin investment, the both parties are suppose to discuss on it and agree on whatever that will come from it. Of course, bitcoin is volatile and can move either way and the investor could either smile at the end or have some laugher at the end, so that is the simple truth of that.

A home that is fragile already, is waiting to be dismantled at any slightest provocation.

  • When luck isn't on your side, consider an immediate pause to prevent further losses.
  • Don't push your luck beyond the maximum acceptable losing streak. Waiting too long often results in significant losses.


This is another thread that reiterates the luck factor in gambling and I agree with this. Most of the points listed are what have come up here and gamblers who are experienced keep to them.

Like you mentioned about luck, some times when playing and losing in gambling, we need to listen to that third voice that tells us to quit or exit for the main time and that is what to follow to avoid further loses when we keep playing. The luck factor is always there while gambling and when it is not going our way then we have to stay out. Staying out helps to get us to reorganize, plan and relaunch again with a clear mind and not for the shake of chasing what we have lost.
Sometimes,  I can't but to wonder why we as gamblers give so much attention a d expectation to luck factor while gambling,  although gambling being an unpredictable event who's outcome is mostly luck based,  but we can not also undermine the place of skills in aiding the winning of some games where there is a need to apply some form of tactical approach to aid it winning unlike in case of games which are based on luck mentioned.

So while we rely as much as we can on the luck factor,  we should also take into considerations the possibility of increasing our chance to win if we apply the right tecnics when it needed to help our winning chances.

Talking about skills take for instance in soccer, luck is well pronounced in it. I watched Arsenal and Manchester city game yesterday and I saw how it went, causing many gamblers that predicted on the side of mancity to lose their bet. That is the point of luck in gambling.

If skills is most important in betting especially in soccer, it means almost every soccer pundits would then be winning their bets week in and week out. They could go together but on a more serious note we have seen big teams loosing against underdogs and that doesn't have a place of skill in that.
1680  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Don't Stand With Either Palestine Or Israel on: October 09, 2023, 12:23:28 PM

The offensive attacks between Israel and Hamas should be discouraged in all ramifications. Don't attack Palestinians in your country, don't attack Israelis in your country. Don't stand with either Israel or Palestine, but stand for PEACE.
I STAND FOR PEACE.


I also stand for peace but how far we are going to continue preaching peace is yet to be ascertain in this war. This is a fight that started several decades ago and yet kept on after sometime. The peace talks in the UN security council just held recently has failed and both parties don't seem to have reached an agreement to stop. I see more escalation of the fight and some countries to join, at the moment Iran has been figured to be supporting Palestine even though they have not come open to show their support. Russia is already in the side of Palestine while US have been longtime friends with Israel, so this war is sort of bringing different blocs of interest in it, hope this won't begin the third world war.
