BATE borisov its being pounded very bad by ARIS Limassol, 3-0 in the first half, very bad performance for the Bielorrusian club, they need to recover a little in the second half becase they can be out of competition in this night.

Rakow  - Qarabag can be a really good game to see.
I was shocked by the results at half time because I actually play bate borisov handicap option in my payley selection and never intended them to have concede so many goals at the end of the final whistle (6-2).

This sheriff tripasol team never fails to disappoint as they pull out another wonderful victory over the Israeli team and despite them having the bigger odds according to ratings from bookmakers.

I never doubt the quality of Kyle Walker, but I don't think Bayern Munich will sign him. If they transfer, it would be a good challenge for Walker, of course. I think he will go to Saudi Arabia to earn money because a 33-year-old football player will want to earn serious money in his last days.
At that age it's time to think about money over career and I think that's also a very natural thing for him, but if there is still an option for a better team in a more popular league I don't think Kyle Walker would be wrong to go there either. But in this case I agree more that Kyle Walker wants to consider more money than continuing his career which will eventually be released by the team that signed him at that age.
This is a normal trend with football stars and it's quite knowing that you staying in your previous club will not do you any good because the space for younger players will always surface and the manager will likely start a younger vibrant player than walker so choosing a career base on the financial benefits is better probably to stand to the fact that you want to experience good football.

And about BetKing - I was surprised that the author is playing at a casino that has already been declared a scam on the forum!
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5287374.0
That is, even if he had won, he might have had problems withdrawing money, as dishonest casinos like to do.

C'mon man for saying this that means you didn't read the whole thread or the early pages because the op has Clearified the issue of the particular site he is talking about and although both has similar  name but am well familiar with the specific betting website the OP is talking about because it's a local betting website here in Nigeria and it's one of the most trusted I would say BETKING
1924  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: July 25, 2023, 08:23:19 PM
I don't agree with OP that we all gamble to make money. I sure do that, but there are people much wealthier than me who gamble strictly for fun. You can't possibly think that when millionaires gamble they're focused on the money. It's just a way to have fun for them and throwing away some money is nothing to them. They throw money away on expensive food and clothes, so they can as well do that at the casino.

I usually set limits for myself by sending only small amounts of money to my casino accounts. As far as the win goes, I'm fine with taking 2x any day.
I would agree that most people especially rich guys don't gamble because of the cash they feel they would get from their stakes as they clearly do it for pleasure and fun purpose because they already have the money so betting on games is actually just a show piece or should I call self entertainment and example would be the famous singer betting on Argentina to win the world cup finals with millions of dollars just for pleasure sake and there are many times in which he has bet on boxing and MMA fighters too and he does all this for his entertainment.
1925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again. Will you take it? on: July 25, 2023, 08:06:32 PM
Hey fellow gamblers, I don't know if this question has been asked before on this forum. If it has , please let me know and I will lock it and move it to archival.

My question is this, if you were given 5 Bitcoins to never gamble again for the rest of your life, will you take it? Considering that first you will already be rich or the prospect of getting rich is high from it. And also if you play your cards right by investing the 5 Bitcoin properly, it could also mean generational wealth. Or will you say that 5 Bitcoins can't match the thrill and pleasure that comes from gambling, be it at a physical casino or an online casino.
C'mon man who wouldn't take a whole 5btc inorder for them to stop their gambling habit, I mean I for one will certainly do because 5btc is whole lots of cash when converted to my country fiat currency and it will certainly quench my thirst for further cash. You most gamblers actually gamble cause of the possibility that they could earn extra cash so I would that anyone would choose their gambling habit over 5BTC.

I go like know which laws about bitcoin whona reason say government fit put for Nigeria way go favour the economy?
This our country na so so short sighted politicians nai full and na all of them just dey after their interest especially that fool emefiele wey put this law on crypto ban with banks but still on still btc and crypto still dey thrive well even with their ban on so for me I feel they should just lift that ban restricting banks from transacting but I no naija e day hard for them to go back on their word.
1927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers Belief on: July 24, 2023, 09:15:37 PM
If you want to see a person full of hope and belief, then gamblers are the perfect example. The hope of winning and the belief to win is found in gambling. Even if you tell them that gambling is risky and the result may come out differently (not in his favor), they refuses to accept it and have 100% belief that they will win at any cost.

This type of belief and commitment is not found in any other walk of life. People doing business or spending money somewhere have doubt and fear that things can do against them, and they may face loss too but the gamblers are so firm in their belief that they never look at the other side of the picture. They want the win, and they 100% know in their subconsciousness that they will win. that is the reason they will never hesitate to put money into gambling.

We are not talking about the result which comes later on, once they gamble. They may lose too but the passion and belief of winning among the gamblers can't be seen anywhere else.
Reading this post just reminds me of my friend, I can  say when it comes to someone believing in predictions he is certainly the man with all the faith but funny sometimes when I get frustrated by my parley selection I usually try an opposite mentality on the games like thinking opposite of what I predicted to see if the outcome turns out good for me because most times when I believe my bet are going to play it usually just end up being lost.

Nice idea but I think like me, my own kids also have choices on the type of cartoon that interest them and I for one can't tell them to watch a particular type of cartoon during some specific time as you know they are still kids, I just let them go with what they love best and enjoy their young age. Kids are very delicate and I feel learning about Bitcoin in their young age isn't the right time but of course that's my own personal choice
1929  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 24, 2023, 08:36:37 PM
Meanwhile, I expect Liverpool to be among the clubs that will give Manchester City a very big fight in the title race of the English Premier League. Apart from Arsenal that did it this just concluded season, it has always been Liverpool that have being giving the fight. If they continue to strengthen their team, they will also be the ones to give Manchester City the fight together with Manchester United. For this coming season, the best results I expect for Liverpool is to qualify for the Champions League and to win the Europa League.
Liverpool where a nightmare to even Manchester City last season when they played very well and Liverpool had very many poor performances most of the season. From this season's preseason games it's already clear that Liverpool have improved and will do very much better next season just like Chelsea will. Next season will be very tough and Manchester City will not have it as easy as they did this season.
Well with all my past experiences on preseason games I can bet my cash that's most of the teams that actually think can do well or performed very during this time actually end up having a different form all together because most of these games in the preseason match aren't taken any seriously and like the implies friendly games so not much value for me when it's comes to rating team performance.
1930  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Deposit limits on: July 24, 2023, 08:31:33 PM
LoL, "deposit limit" more like market strategy for making some of their customers feel as if they care for your rapid online spending while it's exactly opposite of what you feel because you spending more actually makes these casino owners fcking rich. Well like you said for those who are highly discipline this could help but for real time or should I say hard core gamblers it's just one big waste of time because you are the one who can actually set and unset these limits yourself.
1931  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: You want to reduce your car fuel consumption on: July 24, 2023, 08:25:19 PM
You want to reduce fuel consumption for your car, read for this. Fuel price is too cost in Nigeria.

https://punchng.com/ways-to-reduce-your-fuel-consumption/

Another is that solar for home is good than fuel generator for Naija. Buy solar.
It is a nice advice on how to reduce fuel cost but from my own point,it is better to convert your car cabreator to gas as gas is cheaper compare to petrol. Solar should be used in houses and stores that is a good idea because solar energy replenishes and Nigeria is a good country for solar energy because of the abundant sunlight No need of spending too much if you can afford solar,there is a solar that can pump water. The earlier the better because fuel price fit reach 1k soon
Omo no be lie because the price dey increase everyday by day and the worst part about this whole increase in price be say the thing affect me badly as dem no dey ever bring light for we area and ever since nai me I resort to this your advice of using solar because it's very helpful and save a lot of unnecessary expenses.

1933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 21, 2023, 07:02:54 PM
I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?
...

because every system in the casino is made by humans, there is no such thing as perfect, so gambling sites often have difficulty detecting whether those playing on their sites are adults or children, even though the gambling sites already require KYC because now there are many ways to manipulate KYC.

based on what I know, even in countries where gambling is legal, when casinos get a license they must obey the rules set and allowing minors to gamble is a serious violation so you must report to the authorities if you find minors gambling.
Very correct as I know this because my country is actually a gamble legalized country. The gamble casino are all under one governing body which are the ones responsible for regulation and all the activities of most casino registered here and its also in the law that under age people are restricted to such servicea but yet as humans we are prone to violation of laws but I know they is serious monetary penalty for any casino caught breaking that rules and law.
1934  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is Gamble gaining more fans than Bitcoin? on: July 21, 2023, 06:41:37 PM
We all know that most of us want challenges and thrill and it could be found in gambling. There are also people who are buying Bitcoin while gambling at the same time. It's just that some people usually want a fast result which they could find in gambling. Bitcoin is worth holding in the long run and while waiting for the bull season, most of us focus on gambling just to see good results while others seek entertainment on it and avail the bonuses and promotions that each casino is running.
However, Bitcoin isn't comparable to gambling since they both have different functions and risks. We can do both investing and gambling at the same time especially if we're smart enough to deal with all the risks.
Everyone is familiar with gambling, which has been around since the beginning of time. While bitcoin is gaining popularity, it cannot be compared to gambling, which has been around since the beginning of time. Other than gambling, which is unreliable and has a risky outcome, Bitcoin has remained the ultimate solid project with good earnings. Individuals tend to fall into the gambling category since it is very easy and seamless to put a wager on games, as opposed to trading, which might take a long time depending on the project road map.
Gambling is not a new thing in this world as gambling activities date back all the way to 15th century and I think it might be even older but bitcoin is just a newbie according to forum rank and comparing the two would be like the clash between David and Goliath in the holy scripture, one was very mighty and the little but yet so strong and actually prevail when it comes to importance just like the way bitcoin prevails over gambling interns of benefit to human.
1935  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 21, 2023, 06:36:06 PM
Rich people gamble only to relieve their stress, making gambling as entertainment not as a place to make extra money. Even some rich people who see opportunities in gambling build their own casinos, that way they will get a lot of profit from the casinos they build. And their loyal members of gamblers are usually from people who are poor and hope to get the jackpot overnight, but in the end have to give up with lots of losses. now online casinos have developed rapidly and anyone can do gambling, can not distinguish between the poor and the rich.
Yeah thats true you cant actually the eveluate the correct data but I would like to presume that both parties are multiple in number when it comes to this gambling habit. But rich people something actually feel bored and think to play with their cash and so gamble it all away just to entertainment themselves but even as they do this gamble the winning mentality still roles in their head because no one actually plays gamble with acquiring loss as a first intention.
1936  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: July 21, 2023, 03:44:25 PM
I was in argument with someone. His view is that people who gamble are those that what they have is not sufficient for them and so they try to make more money from gambling. He said if you have sufficient money to take care of your needs that you won't think of gambling. He made reference to some rich people, who don't gamble because they have sufficient money to even gift to charity but that those rich who still gamble are only addicted to it not just because of the money. Therefore, that the percentage of the rich gambling is very small compared to those in middle class and lower class.

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
Well for start I don't think so, because its fair ratio when it comes to this gambling habit even both the rich guys, Middle class and the poor gamble to the very fullest but the difference is that certain set of these gamblers like the poor class actually gambler to add money or hope to win a miraculous that would change their life for good. While the rich guys like DRAKE(musician) and so many others just gamble for the fun and drive of actually experiencing that winning feeling and they do mainly for fun.

1938  Economy / Services / Re: [OPEN] Mixin Safe - Decentralized Bitcoin Custody Solutions | Review Campaign on: July 21, 2023, 02:14:53 PM
MY REVIEW ON MIXIN SAFE

FirstI would like to clear that although at first I was very skeptical the service because of the much requirement of apps needed to actually activate or use the service but after successful using I think the service is kinda cool though.

So firstly,
I downloaded the mixing messenger app from playstore and that process was smooth and also the mornin key app but for some peculiar reason the mornin key app for android seems to be having issue when trying to open up the on my android device.


so I switch to using an iOS for the both apps instead of the andriod.

Mixin messenger

I registered with one of my less active line and the otp verification code was actually sent very fast although thought it would take my time but didn't but I only had to copy it manually and paste it but still all good because most apps failed to verify automatically.

Setting my pin
The process was all good except for the fact that I had to make an input confirmation of exact same for up to four times before confirmation which is good I suppose for security purpose but I feel the normal two times confirmation would have worked fine too.

Adding emergency contact

Setting up the emergency contact was kind of a fuzz for me cause I actually and literally have to wait for the user am trying to add to be online so he can send the verification code for me to confirm his add up. Apart from the  process was all good.

Other features
I think the messenger app has some nice features added to it like the group chat where you can interact with some of your contacts just like every other message apps.

Mixin safe
First the log in process was kinda stressful as I needed two device to successfully log in as one needs to scan the other from the messenger app in other to log in although the scanning was smooth and fast so I logged in successfully.

after logging in the website

it looked very simple although too plain for my liking and the annoying red sticker which that serve as a warning should Atleast disappear after staying in website for sometime Atleast for the user would  have grasped the message trying to pass.

Creating a safe
This process would have been very complicated if actually there was no official guildline to it but on still I followed the process showed to create the safe.

At first it prompted a  name section and network type of which I just used my BTT username for ease and bitcoin for the network.

* next was the owner control key setup which is one of the 2-3 multisig wallet purposes. I selected mornin key as my private key control and since I already had the app installed and activated  it was just to scan the QR code on the mixin safe site of which I did and it went smoothly and my key was secure and safe in the app with the specific name I  used in the mixin safe website.

* next was the member key set up which require me to add up a member and it didn't take since I have someone here from the community who is close to me and we have already backed up as emergency contact so his contact just popped up when I clicked the +add button in the mixin safe site and I added him up and selected threshold (1) since its part of minimum requirement and don't have much contacts so two person confirming the transaction would be OK for me.

* next was the summary which require me to choose a plan although I was worried for the reason for me to actually pay  to upgrade and create more safe so I choose the 2$ plan since its a still testing phase.

 purchase of plan

The process was very fast and smooth.
I funded the messenger app through my wallet and in no time got notified of the deposit.
Then I went back and choose the 2$ plan in which I made successful payment through the mixin pay wallet option through crypto
After successful payment went back to my mixin pay and activated safe through mornin key scan which at first showed error but finally got it running.

Transaction on mixin safe

First I had to deposit some funds to try out mixin safe wallet so I choose the receive deposit option in which I funded through my binance exchange app and it went smoothly as I receive the funds quickly.

then
The send transaction where I had to selected 2 member verification which is me(mornin key signiture) and the  member to confirm the transaction before it went through.
I think I would try out more member later as part of verification but for this beta version, I think one member confirmation is okay.

*The security on this wallet is smashing as the member(s) need to verified before your transaction can actually go through, so it would be very hard to be hacked of your funds.
Just superb

Support chat on mixin safe


I thought I should try out the support chat on the mixin safe website to see how reliable it is and it was very OK by me as I got attended to by the customer chat representative and all my question I asked was satisfactorily answered. So the support chat feature is very OK and reliable.

Conclusion
*The overall experience was smooth although a short video on the whole process would be very helpful, like a tutorial video to ease some stress

* the payment is very fast and notification in the messenger app is also superb, as I got every notification very quickly concerning transaction on my mixin safe wallet.

Can't wait for you guys to upgrade more the beta version so one can properly use the wallet.
1939  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 20, 2023, 09:14:29 PM
Manchester City's consistency over the last season has been truly astonishing. They played well. I thought that since Manchester City gave their full focus to the Champions League, they might not be able to win the Premier League title. But Guardiola did a fantastic job last season. Manchester City's performance in both the Premier League and Champions League was steady. And City have won two such competitive league titles. This is a big achievement for them. If we can maintain this consistency in the next season, maybe we will see the team become champions again.

Everyone love and applaud their outstanding performance in the last season which earn them the treble. All thanks to the brilliant Coach; Pep and his players who have struggled to win that title for themselves. Every team now is warming and strengthening their squad for the upcoming season. Until the season starts, we can’t predict or make assumptions on the team that could possibly emerge for the champions league trophy next season. Time will tell as we keep focus and watch how these teams will play when the new season begins for the champions league competition.

Speculation and prediction is actually what every gamblers do and even if the season hasn't started yet, making assumption to how the next season will be is what everyone does although you are right because most teams are still purchasing and strengthening their squad and moreover teams tend to perform well during the preseason match ups but when the real deal actually starts they tend to play rubbish and lose games and even make gamblers lose a lot because seeing win lots of games in the preseason friendly would have given you a thought that the team is now good enough but sometimes later is the case.
1940  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If you quit that's when you lose! on: July 20, 2023, 09:05:54 PM
Now let's take this to a discuss; how correct is this statement? And is there any similar statement like that in your home-country that's popularly used among gamblers to encourage themselves from quiting gambling because they're losing?
Or would you allow your decision to quit gambling to be affected by any popular statement among your fellow gamblers or it's a no no thing for you?
I have some friends who are regular bettor. Some of them are not financially well. But they are very interested in gambling. Some take a break when they lost their money but then join again. They do not need to be encouraged because when they see others win they themselves are inspired and join again later. We all know that no risk no gain. To be successful you have to take risk otherwise there is no possibility of success from gambling this thought is very common in gambling world.
This thought is basically what drives the gambling world because most people are always interested when the story of some random gambler winning lots of cash gets to their ear's, its just like a man who had already lost hope in what he is doing until a source of goodnews about what he has been wishing and from that instance the possibility of the winner of such people being him never get out of his head and so the efforts to achieve success kicks in again and the gambling habits start all over.
