1861  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 23, 2023, 04:53:06 PM
The consequence for Mbappe if he insists on staying at PSG is that he will not get a prestigious title because of PSG's monotony which is only in and in power in domestic competitions only.
Reflecting on Haaland's case when he was at Dortmund he didn't get many titles both individually and in the club but when he met the right club (Manchester City) he turned into a terrible figure.
At the moment Mbappe can also still, he will not get anything if he continues at PSG (except only money) and maybe it would be much better if he looks for a new challenge by finding a club that suits him.
if this is true what you said can we speculate if Mbappe wants to continue his career to be successful must go through a transfer to Real Madrid to break through to the champions league final? I think this makes sense because if you just want a big salary PSG is the best place for that but if you want a better career maybe the chances of moving to Real Madrid are much better to get a title in the UCL.
but in fact we know that it is not that easy for us to speculate because Mbappe and PSG themselves have to go through this unfinished problem and it is difficult to find information that is really real. on the one hand Mbappe himself is still at PSG until next year and this is to be confused whether his contract will be extended or will only be sold.
I believe he wanted both and he did both. How come? Well he got a ton of money from PSG, which he already got and will get the rest this season as well, this way he has covered the money part of his career, from here on out he could get paid a normal amount of money and that would be fine for him.

Instead of getting like 100+ million signing bonus and 60 million salary, he could accept something like more normal signing bonus, and maybe like 30-40 million a year salary, that way he would be in Real Madrid and get good results as well for his career. This allows him to both have money thanks to his PSG contract that is ending, but also have enough to move to Madrid later on and start having some good career in his future as well.
Yes I understand what you mean, by him joining Paris Saint Germain it was enough to raise money, yes even though it sacrificed his career which should in my opinion be more than what he is getting now. Moreover, he is also still very young and still has a long way to go. Indeed, I personally regret it when he failed to join one of the giants in La Liga or even in the Champions League. But I hope that if the opportunity comes again to him, he should not miss that great opportunity.
I believe that players like him will be many clubs who want him, but still he must decide what is best for him.

I am also one of those who find it sad that he decided against all those great other clubs and instead play in Ligue 1 way below his real potential. But I sometimes wonder whether we would say and think the same if he won the Champions League once or twice with PSG: They have had the chance when they played against Bayern Munich in the final. Would it then be any different?

The money is so crazy that I can understand when someone decides to play in Paris instead of Madrid. It is the time of the career where you have less options to make financial mistakes. He had to decide between his financial future and his recognition as one of the best players in the world. He has shown that he is one of the best when he played the World Cups, but he now also is one of the richest in the sport as well.
I believe Mbappe will have put into consideration so many things before he still want to remain in PSG. The pay is fat and he is still the most expensive player in the world. He believes that he still owes PSG and needs to complete his contract with them. He is a superstar that has a good potential and I know that PSG wouldn't let him go easily.

Mbappe should start thinking on how to win UCL and also win other trophies so that he will have the dreams of playing in Real Madrid after the end of his contract with PSG. Other clubs needs his skill and contributions to the team work and he shouldn't just be static in his football career.

Why will you be scared to tell them that you are a bitcoiner or are you not confident in what you do for a living. Abeg,if you are not confident with it,you should stop. Nowhere the matter won reach wey if investigation happen,wey you wouldn't be able to prove yourself.

There was a CBN circular last year or the year before that prohibited banks from facilitating crypto transactions on and off their platforms. Since then, Nigerian police changed the narrative that it is banned in Nigeria and anyone involved in it is going against the law. They usually arrest the citizen in question and use it as a means for extortion. I don't know if it's everywhere but around south, it's a norm.
Me and you know say before cryptocurrency start to exist,na so police dey behave. All the time them won give you wrong charge just to extort money from you. The bad ones go arrest you because them no say poor man no dey into crypto,and say you go fit bail yourself. Those police wey catch you no go fit carry you go court because them no say crypto no dey illegal but na money them want. Already we know how Nigeria police dey commit atrocities just go get money for the street.

Positive thoughts and having hope will make you to be strong in whatever that you are doing. Gamblers will always have hope of winning and that is why most times,you can't convince a gambler not to place his bet on a game. Having hope can attract luck,and luck will bring the wins.

Whenever that I am gambling I do have that feeling of winning the game and when I loss,I will not give up the same feeling in my next game. If anyone knows that he will loss his bet,that person will change his pattern of game because nobody will be happy to lose his money to anyone. All gamblers do have hope of winning, including a responsible gambler and an addicted gambler.
1864  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My easy way to teach your kids bitcoin. on: July 23, 2023, 03:57:34 PM
Nice cartoons,and I love your concept but I don't think that kids need to be disturbed with bitcoin since they are still young and might not ba able to make use of the information in the cartoon. How do you think that they will enjoy the cartoon and keep on watching something that is not important to them. It will be very boring because it is not superman,Ben Ten or Sponge bobs.

It is better that you allow them grow and show interest in crptocurrency than you deciding for them. Teach them more on financial literacy and lead them on how to go with their future,so that they can become successful and then they can learn bitcoin at matured age. Allow them yo be free with whatever they want and not to condition what they will watch or do. I allow my son to watch whatever cartoons he likes and plays his video game. Bitcoin is for adults that are earning income.

If bitcoin is illegal in your country and has a penalty for whoever talks about it,I will advice you not to talk or let anyone know that you are into bitcoin,so that you don't implicate yourself.

On the other hand,if bitcoin is legalize in your country, it wouldn't be problem for you  to be a bitcoin preacher. You should also put into consideration the kind of people that you tell about bitcoin so that you don't end up telling someone that is a criminal or robber,because he might think of robbing you. If there will be too much risk to teach people about bitcoin, it is better that you don't do it.

-snip
They've succeeded in signing one of the best goalie currently in person of Andre onana, who is good with is feet and would suit Eric Ten Hags style of play in building from the back line, he's a fantastic player and has had a good relationship with the coach previously when they where both at Ajax with would make it possible for him to adapt perfectly in manchester united, Onana might not be very well compared to the previous goalie degea but would bring treat to the opposition attack and is very confident when it comes to footwork which is something degea lacked therefore was replaced by onana, but I don't like the manner at which he left the club, for a player of such calibre is so embarrassing leaving without a proper farewell to the fans
 The top 9 is one role Manchester must definitely look into if they want to enjoy a good season, it's very unfortunate that they couldn't get Harry Kane who's been the 1st choice of the coach even before the transfer window was opened, he would had been the perfect man to fill in that gap and help take united back to glory day, but since he's about moving or likely to move to Bayern then they should do anything possible to get the Danish striker Rasmus Højlund.
Also Andre Onana has proven his quality as a good goalkeeper before at Inter Milan, I mean onana showed a very impressive performance, he managed to help Inter win two trophy. Yes Indeed, Manchester United must have a better striker to improve their sharpness attack line. Rasmus Højlund is a good choice for the number 9, but Manchester United will have to act fast because there are rumours PSG are also aiming that player.
Eric Hag is seriously changing players and is building up the players of his choice to make sure that the club becomes very strong for any club to win next season. We have seen this in his signing of Onana who is a good stopper of goals with his brilliant performance in matches.

I believe that Eric Hag is looking for that right striker who will be eager to net the post at all time to make up the front line. I believe that this season will be a great one for Eric and his men but I don't think that it will be possible for them to win the league
1867  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: July 21, 2023, 10:15:36 AM
In the last World Cup Costa Rica and Spain drew 1 goal.
I believe that today Spain is a little stronger, even so it shouldn't be an easy game.
The world cup just started, but there has been a lot of surprises so far for everyone who has been watching. From the first game that New Zealand women made a new record and won a game that they were seen as the loosing team, to Nigerian women securing a draw against Canadian women who had the most possession, were the Olympic champions, had a penalty that they failed to utilize, so we may also see Costa Rica surprise us too and win against Spain who look like the favorite for the game.

I am not surprised by all these surprise results for the single reason we are talking about female football here and the games here precipitate quite quickly,loads of goals are scored which makes this tournament not the best to watch and I rarely see any women football match.I don't to sound like an extremist or masochist but I believe soccer is a game for men only as they play much better than women and we all respect them when we see for example the World Cup or Champions League games.Sure the FIFA women world cup have their audience but I believe to be much lower than men World Cup.
Thats common to see low number of audience watching sports played by Women. Soccer isn't an exception, but things are getting better over time. It is the physique and the stamina that makes sports played by men to be very interesting. Most of us don't watch women's matches. Recently after watching cricket matches played by Women I've started to watch this season's FIFA played by Women. Match between Spain and Costa Rica have got ended and Spain have made 3 goals.
Whatever results that comes out the the matches wouldn't be a surprise to me,because it is hard to predict women's football. I think we will likely see boring matches,since woman aren't that skillful and strong like men.

I am used to watching professional football for entertainment and I don't think that I will be able to have such high level of entertainment with the women's football. I will try my best to see if I can watch few matches to see if I am wrong with my thoughts.
1868  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do anyone have done this? with gambling platforms on: July 21, 2023, 10:06:38 AM

anyone deposited very less amount and luckily won a big jackpot like a 100x or 500x or 1000x of base bet and withdrawn without kyc or without facing any problem from the platform?

if yes, how much was that amount? and what was the exchange?

i seen many people complaining about they don't give big wins easily or just don't give by making unanswerable queries like very hard KYC, freezing accounts, etc. this problem is very common with trusted casino's also/

do anyone withdrawn successfully the winning amount and if yes what was the process, it was seamless or you need to pass a hard kyc?
This all boils down to the casino that one uses. Some casino can allow you to deposit little amount and when you will big,you can withdraw without the casino asking you of KYC and it still depends on the amount won. A non KYC casino wouldn't have a problem with your withdrawal

On the other hand if it is a KYC casino,it still depends on the amount won because if the amount is not a shock to the casino,they might not bother about KYC,but if it is a shock,you wouldn't escape providing all necessary requirements for you to withdraw your wins. I haven't won big with a small about before.

One of the restrictions on this forum is off-topic discussion. So what if I create a discussion thread where the rules in the discussion thread allow off-topic discussion. Is that okay?
Of course yes, there is a board for off topic and any off topic thread should be done there. I see off topic board as a joker board and it is irrelevant to me.

That is why you see that moderator will delete your thread when it is off topic from the discussion because there is an off topic board where, you are suppose to post it. If you are on off topic board,you can post nonsense and nobody will report or delete your post. But when you do that in other boards,you have done wrong.
1870  Economy / Economics / Re: What are some financial secrets that you know of? on: July 21, 2023, 09:31:51 AM
There's no secret.

1. Have a job with good salary.
2. Don't save, instead of invest your money.
3. Avoid spend your money for unnecessary thing e.g. expensive food, cloth, entertain etc.

That's all, I'm sure the next 10-20 years you will become rich.

The reason why many people can't become rich are because they can't follow the three requirements I mentioned above. Most of people work in low or minimum salary job, most of people can't take risk, most of people want to impress other people and want to entertain themselves.
Hmmm. I see,you must be a rich person from the way you stated this with assurance. At some point I stopped reading and have a thought of your three steps towards successful and number three was very cool with me. To be successful in life is not easy because one must be discipline, committed and have positive thoughts towards his goals.

I see that presently,bitcoin investment is the only investment that you can be sure of good profit from if you invest in a long term because of its volatile nature and it is also inflation resistance. The problem of other businesses is that they are been affected by inflation and maybe some change in government policies. Buy a good number of bitcoin and hodli for 8yrs,don't even think of taking profit because when you start a business,you don't start spending money from the business. What i mean is that your are to make availability for emergency funds, so that you don't go and take money from your new business.

All these will lead to failure of the business. Allow your business to grow for some period of time and when high profits have started coming out,you can take little from it.  That's is how you go with your bitcoin journey after that,you can diversify into other physical businesses.
1871  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gaining more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 20, 2023, 08:20:36 PM
Gambling has been there since the existence of man and it has being used as a means of entertainment in festivals and some events. So many people involves in gambling from a teen age based on the company that they keep. Gambling can easily be done with little funds and so many people see gambling as a means to make quick money because they have seen people who hits the jackpot and their lives never remained the same.

Bitcoin is different because is a new technology and bitcoin investment needs patient for one to be able to benefit from it. The people who are eager to make quick money will prefer gamble to bitcoin,which take four years for one to make profit. Something new is always hard for people to believe in it easily,it needs a gradual process.
1872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 20, 2023, 08:09:07 PM
There's a popular  remark among gamblers in the part of  my country I reside. The saying is expressed like this "if you quit that's when you lose".  They use this statement to encourage and give futuristic hope to themselves that no matter how much they loss today or how many wagers they have lost they don't need to quit as it's possible you may be the next jackpot winner tomorrow. For it's like say don't quit yet there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.
I believe that it is the addicted gamblers that are always use to this say just to give hope to themselves on their losses. We all know the gambling rules that says,if you are losing,you should quit the game and play the next day.

When you see gambling as fun,you will not care about your losses and you wouldn't feel that quiting means that you are weak. Quiting shows that you are strong and can control yourself. Because if you quit today,you might resume back tomorrow. The more you play,the more you run into great loss because one can never win the house edge.

Terrorism is in human nature and it is carried out by repels based on they don't like the present government. Some people take advantage of their position in government,due to greed they will setup a team to start terrorising the country,so that it will look as if the citizens are the ones that are against the government.

 From what I see,this terrorist have top government officials that sponsors them and directs them on what to do. Some even go at length to give them informations on how to attack the government. Terrorism is a worldwide problem and not only in Africa.
1874  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: July 19, 2023, 08:46:26 PM
BTW, Al Nassr is banned from signing anymore European players, due to a dispute with Leicester (regarding the transfer fee for Ahmed Musa). They were planning to bring Hakim Ziyech and Domenico Berardi to Saudi Arabia.
Al Nassr is banned by FIFA from signing new players until they pay Leicester City a £390,000 debt. This should not be a problem for a financially sound club. They should be able to pay the debt without much stress. Saudi league clubs should also be careful because UEFA is not happy with the way players are moving to the Arabian nation. They can be given a strict punishment if any abnormality is dictated from their financial transactions.

The match between nassr vs celta vigo already ended last night. Ronaldo club being humiliated by celta vigo. Celta vigo was destroying al nassr with 5-0 as the final score.
It's just a friendly game and a warm up for the next season. Five goals is not a good score but the most important thing is to learn lessons from the game. Al Nassr coach should be able to analyse the game and make the needed changes. The first half was fine with a goalless scoreline but Ronaldo missed a clear chance to put the Saudi side ahead. But it's all good.

Well still wierd that they didnt pay debt they owe to Leicester,for them its nothing and this should be resolved fast. Also the defeat against Celta came in the second half after all of their first squad players left the field plus once they left they got a red card that caused such a big result. But still this shows that this Saudi teams dont have a roster and just got humiliated against a middle spanish team
SPL has enough money to pay for the transfer of any player that they want instead of owing Leicester City. This will enable them buy more players of their choice to make their league very strong. Some players don't care anymore to play in the European league because they have been attracted to the salary that the Saudis pay.

I still know that there are some players that no matter the fat pay being offered by the Saudis,they wouldn't go there to play because they want to win trophies and also to participate in European leagues. In no time SPL will be very interesting because the new players that are moving over to Saudi,and it will be very competitive.
1875  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: July 19, 2023, 08:28:45 PM
Generally, people who play only for fun don't really feel that much bad or have a feeling of remorse when they lose a few dollars because they think they've spent it on the game just like how people spend money to buy skins, clothes, and a lot of other things in video games, it does feel a bit bad though, I know, but the feeling is totally different when you are an addicted gambler and you are gambling only to earn some money through it.

When you are gambling only for fun, winning does increase the fun and joy in your session but when you lose, you don't regret that much, but when you are gambling with the sole purpose of earning money and getting profits, those losses hit harder and you feel too much bad for every single loss.

Generally, regret is commonplace for gamblers. whether it's gamblers who do it for fun, especially for gamblers who always hope to get a win in every gambling session, especially for compulsive gamblers. Psychologically, the feeling includes many things. when we do a gambling session, where our emotions will be involved in it. whether it's when we win, or experience defeat especially those who have lost in a row. regret, is a normal even very close in our lives. it's just that each case is different.

We agree, that people who play just for fun don't really feel bad or have any remorse for gambling especially when they just spent a few dollars. in this case, it didn't matter if they lost in the end. but in different cases, even though we play for fun and when big wins come. sometimes, we get so caught up in the game that in the end the money we get before returns to the dealer. then, the regret also came even though it didn't have a big impact on the gambler. on other points, we totally agree. So overall, I agree with what you're saying.
You will regret when you loss big or you have used the money that was made for an important purpose for gambling. However,sometimes we get carried away by our emotions and can't stop when we need to.

This is why we need to gamble with the funds that we can afford to lose and set a time limit for our gambling activities. I have placed several games with a reasonable amount of money and I regretted why I did that. As a gambler that gambles often,regrets must always be there for us.

1877  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which cryptocurrency comes close to bitcoin? on: July 18, 2023, 08:51:29 PM
Nothing comes close to being what bitcoin is & what it offers humanity, both now & in the future. Bitcoin is the single, greatest monetary innovation of our lifetime. Some people will profit handsomely from alts but no altcoin can compete with bitcoin as a combined package.
Other altcoins are duplicates of bitcoin and I don't see why any of them will be better off than bitcoin when they are all centralized. Bitcoin can never be no more but will keep on increasing in value due to its nature of decentralization.

The fact is that bitcoin will be very expensive in the nearest future  and I don't think that I can see any of those altcoins that can go into competition with bitcoin in the next 10 years,because bitcoin halving has made it unique and other altcoins depends on the price of bitcoin movement for them to survive.

It’s sad to see that you guys are stopping the services. To be honest the domain was really attractive and if you guys have done the marketing properly, then you could have got potential gamblers for the site. Nevertheless let’s see who takeovers the site now, and if we see again NakamotoRoulette in action again or not. Yes you could just mention a minimum bid atleast, so the bidders can know from where they can start the bid. It will be also great if you could move your thread to Auctions board.

Oh, we are not stopping service - if nobody buys it, we will continue and just build up the marketing slowly- but otherwise we want the new owners to cotinue the site of course (or why else would they buy it) - so no plans on stopping anything Smiley

That's good advice - I think we can start at 1btc as a starting point.
From your own side since the casino is on auction,it means that if there is a buyer you guys have stopped service because the new owner take total control of the casino.

It is when you guys didn't we a buyer as you stated that is when you guys are still on service. Marketing was the problem that your casino had,because the casino doesn't have adverts and it will be rare for you to have potential users. This is why when you are setting up a new business,you should consider have a marketing strategy to sell your products or services out to the people.

Using spare money literally doesn't mean you need to save for gambling purpose, it's all about using an amount within your possession that wouldn't affect your pocket or you as a gambler won't feel it if you gamble and lose.
Have you forgotten that what ever amount of money either big or small amount that's goes out of your pocket without bringing more or add something to you is call waistage money?
I disagree with you on this OP,do you mean that when you pay money to watch a movie in the cinema to entertain yourself is a waste ? Because the money is gone and wouldn't yield any income. There are some fun that we need to pay for so that we can have it,this is how gambling is. It is when you put it in your mind that you want to make profit from gambling that is when we can say all your loss is a waste of money,because you use money made for some important issues to gamble.

The only money we can use to bet is a free money and not hard earned.
I don't understand this statement. There is no free money anywhere. What made it free,as an adult you don't except anyone to give you money before you can gamble. What about gamblers that set aside 5% of their weekly or monthly income for gambling. Don't get it twisted every gambler gambles with his hard earned money that is why you must have self-control in your gambling activities.

Honestly, I can't blame people who are discriminatory towards these gender. Though they have already been widely accepted and respected, but sometimes they just asked too much of an acceptance, some of them looks like they want more than just acceptance, they want VIP treatment. Staff sometimes are confused how to address them. Some gays doesn't want to get called "sir" and some lesbians doesn't want to be called "maam". Maybe with these minor scenarios, some of them will overreact as if it's a disrespect and discriminatory remarks.
I dont but these LGBTQ+ stuff is too complicated like a woman's brain LOLOL!

It's a misinterpretation when an LGBTQ+ present himself he wants to be addressed the way he presents himself if he is a lesbian and he is dressed like a man and a man dressed like a woman, I address them the way they want to be addressed and they always make it obvious because they are proud of their preferred gender.

Reading some of the comments I haven't stumble a post where one of the members here admits he/she is part of LGBTQ+ so we can read his reaction on the subject.


I don't think that we have any of them here in the forum and if there is one then let them tell us their experience on this topic. Or are they ashamed of the kind of life that they have chosen for themselves. No I don't think so because if you see two lesbians outside,they might be doing what will create attention on them.

Gambling online will be better such people who are going against the will of God just to please or satisfy themselves. Looking it from this angle, how will you feel when a gay and his partner walk into a physical physical casino and the husband is gambling and his gay wife is acting like a woman,I will feel sick and might no longer concentrate on my bet anymore.
