They already had their advantages and blew it up by conceding to Ecuador because they skipped the qualification stage, they were automatically qualified by FIFA not to struggle for a slot and I think that contributed to why they weren't unable to score even a goal in the match yesterday.

The group A stage is already dominated by Ecuador and England, even though I expected more from England because being paired with Iran was one of the ways to finish this group stage with fair points, the players did a clean job but I'm amazed that Iran manages to have 2 goals unlike Qatar and Senegal, I doubt if Senegal would perform well without Manes present because this is not what they were during the qualification stage.

Why feels depressed when you know that you made decisions to risk money, you were willing to let go to make some. I don't see why a serious gambler feels frustrated when you do something yourself, the decision was yours and the consequences should be yours to bear alone both in profit and loss.

Emotion is a part of man and they get triggered when something happens to a man, It could be that you are happy or sad, there is no man who doesnt get emotions when money is involved, you can control it because they are what gives us response to gambling as a stimulus if we are profiting or losing money but one shouldn't allow the mind get overcrowd by emotions because when that happens, you begin to make wrong decisions.

There is something you don't understand: gaming does not lead to addiction, it is a man's greed that leads to addiction, but the majority of addicted gamblers are not prepared for that talk because they are well aware of their problem. Cocaine and gambling are two distinct entities that do not require comparison, cocaine is a chemical element that people abuse and cause instability in the body, however, gambling does not require you to take any chemical substances, it is a risk that you as a player understand that you will lose or profit, but, the moment you begin to believe that gambling is the only way to escape poverty, you have allowed greed to take over you as a person.

I was wrong throughout and I'm glad that the cool AC that Qatar players have been enjoying influenced their game today, they made it too easy for Ecuador with a disappointing zero shot on target, I don't know what I was thinking, I shouldn't have made my predictions based on their previous friendly match now I got caught for over depending on a host community that was hardly organized on the field, they just demonstrate their incompetence and I am very convinced that they are the first to leave group A stage. Though Qatar and Ecuador are the weakest teams I have seen in group A, looking forward to seeing what Senegal, Netherlands and England would play next, it will be a very tough and interesting one.

Wrong controversial news I presumed and it may be due to some certain restrictions that has been place on some viewers and fans that are coming for World Cup and it doesn’t make sense with this kind of pay back. Let say Qatar was able to find their way out of FIFA, you think Ecuador would want to give up World Cup trophy to a country who host the World Cup? Qatar is not close to comprising FIFA, they are not the first to host the World Cup and wouldn’t be the last.


The match will go on a neutral ground, I place my bet and ignore the sentiments and rumors.

I guess Qatar against Ecuador was purposely to entertain the country as a host community but even at then to be their first meet up in the world cup, you shouldn't underrate Qatar because they had an automatic qualification as the whole match was hosted in their country, they are good and bless with good players, the last time they had a friendly match with Ecuador, they won and not only that, if you look closely at Qatar last five matches, they won 4 matches and draw just 1 to Chile that usually give Argentina some headache in their matches. It is very likel that Qatar will go far.

Despite the clear sight that investors and crypto enthusiasts has seen on how centralized exchanges cannot be trusted, some exchange CEO like Binance CZ are playing tricky games on Twitter, he will preach how not your keys not your coins is the next big thing in crypto and second day, he will switch to how Binance is a reliable exchange but we all know the truth on how disastrous they are too bitcoin.

To those affected by the exchange stupidity and their shenanigans, keep your bitcoin out of them and hold them, if you have more usdt, buy more bitcoin if it keep going down, you will be the enjoying the benefits of been a diamond hands when the bull returns.

Mistakes are what clear the path for some beginners, they can't be eliminated all the time but we a beginner who follow a precautionary path will be eased from many of them. All the components of crypto are risky as it involves money and value and if you start well with a humble beginning, one will always have a story to tell someday. I'm very interested in that quick to get rich point, most crypto noobs that came on board over the last 1 or 2 years that were all here to catch the train of quick money are probably in regrets now because there is no single project out there that has been having a negative PNL, to earn legitimately, one must be patience in crypto.

An example of what has been going on in the market is why a newbie asks questions about buying a coin, I always find it within my mind to make it plain they should buy only bitcoin, not because Altcoins are all bad but because it is safer to be in bitcoin as it is always neutral, not centralized, not an entity to any institutions, not a liability to people, even when the market crashes hard, you will always be in the safer hands.

I can only Imagine the advice so many people would have given to Newbies to buy shitcoins(Altcoins) and if they did, thats a lesson for them to learn never to trust altcoins, no matter how solid they are, they are very deadly for portfolios.

1xbit casino with unending drama and scam accusations, I thought people were already aware of their previous allegations and fraud label against them, but people are still using them and to say I'm a little disappointed with some reputable ADS platforms still endorse 1xbit and display their banner. @ghostingura2 I hope one day you see your money but the fact is this, 1xbit will not pay you back your funds, there are other cases smaller and bigger than your amounts but they never did anything about it, I hope one day as you play in another good casino, you win back all your losses.

Good Luck.

I'm not quite a fan of Casino games but the bonus attached to them is usually why do I try out the sportsbooks but I'm not always that lucky when it comes to winning my games in those casinos and again, the odds are not always inviting. However, I have been using sportybet for quite a while now and I can confidently say that there is nothing special about winnings, but of course, my number of wins proceeds my losses.

How do you handle your emotions while trying to revive previous losses, hardly you see a sports guy overcome that kind of loss, what is gone is already gone, there is no point in back-hunting what you have lost to the house, the focus should be at future expectations.

This happened a number of times but I don't quite agree it is always the last game that usually ends a ticket game, some tickets get cut from the beginning of matches or games, some happen in the middle while some a few games to the end but the reason I could say why these last games are always the ones we remember is because they are usually painful especially when money involve is big enough to change ones life or enough to give you a fresh beginning.
What I do advise in these situations is, whenever you are not sure of an outcome of last game, cash out and let go of some and take the little you were given by sporty than leaving the whole thing at stake with later regrets.

Being an entrepreneur requires extra work to be successful. The funding aspect of being an entrepreneur is where many people run into problems, but countries from developed governments have programs to support MSME, so if your country is one of them, you won't face any difficulties moving forward. However, if a country doesn't support its entrepreneurs, they will probably fail before they reach their full potential. I will choose Entrepreneur in a working developed country instead of wearing a bow tie to the office every morning and answering unnecessary queries that are not significant.

Private Venture Capitals aren't even helping small businesses because of the share they demand; they do offer support but only in exchange for 40% or more ownership in the company, and any wise and intelligent entrepreneur wouldn't accept those kinds of offers just to revive their dying business because it isn't the best and sufficient in the long run.

Just for more engagement for other people to know what SBF has done to investors and traders, that is the meaning of a Ponzi scheme. SBF has done more harm than good and this will hunt other centralized exchanges, the trust is no longer there and not just that, people have learned to move their trading to decentralized exchanges. The entire capitalist who invested in FTX, the whale are all mostly at losses and the ones who have sold back to stablecoin has been unable to withdraw and the chance of getting their money back is slim or at least, it will take months or years, it is high time we all avoid these centralized exchanges

I will receive the 50% pay cut but will resume searching for another job as soon as I reach home that day, I know that quitting the job is one of the best options because if one is to consider inflation, no worker can survive with his 50% of his salary right now, price of everything has increased and even the current jobs pay should be increased but is better you stay and have something coming to pocket while hunting for another job especially if there is no additional working hour attach to the new condition of the pay.

On second thought, don't you think a 50% pay cut is cheating workers, it may be for the benefit of the company but employees have to be considered too, when workers don't get good incentives it doesn't usually encourage workers, it will affect the productivity of the company.

Each with its disadvantages but one definitely outweighs the other, when you have your bitcoin on an exchange, is just like putting all your eggs on a plain surface knowing fully that it is not safe to keep them there but if you provide a crate for them, they will stand firmly, even if something that tends to shake them, they wouldn't break nor move. That is one of the ways centralized custody differs from self-custody.

I don't think there is much risk associated with self-custody if you do your things with due diligence, the case of that guy not finding his hard drive was a bit of negligence, he didn't do proper backup nor inscribe his passphrase on a metal piece or safe place, it would have been easier to gain access to his bitcoin, self custody is the future of bitcoin and I love how everyone has woke up to the reality of not your keys, not your coins.

You cannot compare the way bitcoin grows to the way a house thrives, houses are not deflationary in the way bitcoin is created. If you had rented it out, you would have earned money from people as well as profits by selling rather than keeping it vacant with no passive income. If you can't let it out to people, sell it when the price of bitcoin falls, that will be a great time to take a lower risk. You will always have peace of mind that bitcoin will go to zero, even though that is unlikely because it has never happened before and it will likely not, the more bitcoin goes down, the more interested investors jump in.

The opportunity that people would refuse to take.  I remember some months ago when the market sentiments were neutral after the Luna fiasco, so many people were calling for bitcoin to come back below $20k but I'm disappointed that they are even more afraid that it will take a long time before people would have trust in Bitcoin again after FTX false altruism. I just made the conclusion that some people will always remain poor even when they are been shown a path to success, they forgot that this is how the bear market used to be and only the smart ones usually know what it means.

I have bought and held some bitcoin at a high price and despite the drop, I'm still not shaken, I will buy the little I can afford and continue my DCA until we ride another bull run again, I might have missed making the previous journey with people but this time, I want it written boldly on the wall that I was also there and profited.

I've noticed that these kinds of games are always won by street guys and with small money, you rarely see the big guys with such announcements; perhaps they play online and cash out online without anybody knowing in order to maintain their privacy. Some people believe that gambling money is air money and that because players do not work for it, they spend extravagantly without keeping records, which is why their money generally disappears quickly. However, I believe the problem comes in the degree of the player's financial status and exposure.


The games were basketball matches. Perhaps basketball matches are now easier to predict than football matches, maybe there is something about their sports that we do not yet know. 

Kids you see are very inquisitive, you think they are not watching what the parents are doing but deep within, they are smart and know whatever the parent does including the ones they hide especially if they fail to take responsibility at home, they always know.
If a parent must gamble, it is their wish but they should try and make sure they don't fail at parenting else if the kids feel heat and difficulties, they will also want to engage in gambling they know their parents are doing which is very bad, kids aren't supposed to be exposed to gambling unless they have come of 18 years old and even at that, it should be done responsibly.
