201  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: When investing in Bitcoin, don't forget to invest in your health on: April 16, 2024, 04:03:24 PM
Although, it is a long time already which was August 2023. I mean the last post on the thread. But it would have been better if we can be actively discussing something like this on a single thread.
Seeing the title i just remembered i have come across a similar thread in the past and i wanted to do the same, to tell him that he should make research first before creating a thread, that’s the mistake most people make this days and i am starting to wonder if they are doing it on purpose or just too lazy to research the board to see if similar thread exists. If there is an existing thread then i don’t see a reason for this discussion, all you can do is add any idea or information you have to the existing thread and take continue any further discussion there.

Dis na total bullshit. Weti concerned Bitcoin investment with out health here. If you no know weti to write u no go go make comments and complete your weekly quota? Must you create thread? Nobody here live without taking care of himself and it is not compulsory to eat fruit. And there is an existing thread which Charles-Tim has brought it to your notice so you can lock dis one and we can discuss on that thread.
I think you are a bit harsh on OP, nobody is perfect even though as a full member we expect better from him, there are ways you can correct him and let him know that he is wrong just as Charles-Tim did. I don’t think this is a bad topic at all because there are people who actually don’t care much about their health and they are just so obsessed with their investment so the advice might come in handy for some people.

Despite Palmer perform very well, I'm not happy to see his unsportsmanlike, he force himself to take penalty since it should be Madueke. Referee whispering when Madueke fell, not when Palmer fell. Palmer also pushed Jackson away, Chelsea need to give punishment to Palmer in order to control his ego, if not he will become Mbappe v2.0
He has been the penalty taker for the club so i don’t see how claiming his penalty right is unsportsmanlike, i blame Madueke and Jackson for their childish behavior trying to take the penalty from Palmer because he is already on an hattrick just so they can be on the scoresheet. Why didn’t they drag the penalty from Palmer in crucial moments like against Manchester United or in big games like against Arsenal, they don’t have the nerves to drag it in such situations so why drag the penalty from the boy in easy games.

I think Madueke and Jackson are just silly for not wanting Palmer to meet up to Haaland in goals when he is just a gaol away, other teammates would have gladly set up goals for him to score just to challenge for the golden boot but for all i think the coach has the largest share of blame here. When working with kids you tell them what to do and how you want them to play and not just let them do whatever they please. Madueke and Jackson really disappointed me yesterday and most fans will start hating them for that silly behavior because that’s just what sterling did and end up missing it.

Palmer proved himself by playing well and it proves how worthy he is of the penalty kicks and if Madueke and Jackson wants to prove themselves they shouldn’t be dragging penalties, they should be dragging the team to the top 4. Score goals and show up when it matters the most so that people will appreciate you and not cry over penalties.

Personally, as a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.
I personally don’t like watching games i bet on and just like you i also find it very stressful, i don’t have the courage to watch them or even follow them up on livescore app until the end of the game to check how the match ended up. I find  very disturbing for me, at some point i prefer to place multiple bets and not bother about how the matches are going and only come to check them out after the end of the game.

Quote
If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?
Well it depends on wether at that time i gamble for fun or probably for funds. Most times i gamble for fun but it doesn’t matter for me because even while gambling for fun i find it difficult to watch any game i gamble on.

Now he had decided to start the gambling again with the loan money to balance the previous loss of 2000$.What is your opinion on this,I had suggested him to go to the regular job to reduce the loan in step by step to reduce the loan burden.But he had word of “We can earn,Where we had loss everything “.Share your opinion on this.
That is a bad way to to go about it, trying to revenge is the worst way to win back an amount lost in gambling and doing this will only make you lose more money to gambling. Everything your friend is about to do is wrong, chasing after your losses is wrong because you will only end up losing more and again taking loans to gamble is very wrong because you know gambling has 50/50 chance of success and gambling with loans or borrowed money might end up accumulating more debts. All these signs are attributes of an addicted gambler.

OP. I think you should try and educate your friend of thee dangers of gambling addiction and the causes of gambling addiction. Also teach him how to eliminate greed from gambling and how to be a responsible gambler.

When Barcelona was playing badly, everyone wants him out of the club and now most people seems to be regretting this. iirc wasnt he give his resignation letter and will leave the club whatever the result in the end will be? I dont thin Xavi is the type of person that will back off from his own words though so tough chance for him on staying with Barcelona

Imagine how harsh will this be for the fans if he ended up winning against Real Madrid this weekend
If you check deeply Xavi is not a terrible coach compared to some others even though he is not superb as well but he’s got qualities and winning the league last season with a team that has no finance to buy players is something the fans should appreciate him for, but they seem to forget all those days and when they are playing badly they blame it on the coach as want him replaced immediately. When a team is not doing well the coach needs to be questioned but in Xavi’s case he should be given more time because he barely has quality players to compete with other teams and yet he managed to keep them at the second position in the la liga and also still in the champions league about to knock PSG out.

What a fantastic victory for Chelsea to win a team like Everton up to six goals without conceding a single goal or more goals at the end of the match. I am very much thrilled by their performance tonight because it is unexpected for Chelsea to have a comfortable home victory without making their fans feel disappointed at the end of the match.
They were totally outstanding today and Cole Palmer stole the show by scoring 4 goals against Everton which now makes him the joint highest goal scorer with Haaland with 20 goals to their names. Palmer has practically been carrying Chelsea and without him i don’t know where Chelsea would find themselves and already he is the best Chelsea player this season, i think Chelsea are lucky to have him.

Tonight Chelsea was in beast mode as they totally destroyed Everton whom everyone thought would be a problem to them, they played well overall and at least the fans got something to cheer about this week even if they couldn’t win Arsenal.

Chelsea has a tough match to play next against Arsenal, let them not have a disappointing match result that will make everyone question how they were able to score Everton up to six goals.
Chelsea have been known for their inconsistency this season and it won’t be a new thing if they lose their next game but there is something i noticed with Chelsea this season, they seem to be good at playing bigger teams so i believe they would definitely give Arsenal a tough time.

Bayern Leverkusen became champions for the first time in their history.
They showed us very good and enjoyable games, which I think they deserved until the end.
Xabi Alonso is a really good coach and his players are also that good. I hope they win the European cup and celebrate this year with a double cup.
They worked so hard for it and they fully deserved it so congratulations to them on winning their first Bundesliga in history, it is a good feeling for the fans, coaches, players and the owners of the club they would be so proud of the coach and the players. They showed good performance all through the league and the best of it was going unbeaten till they finally won it.

They have two more trophies to challenge for and if they win them they will be winning 3 trophies not 2 because they have a league cup DFB POKAL final to play against a Bundesliga 2 side that is struggling and also have the Europa League to challenge for. I hope they win it all to make their season perfect.  
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 15, 2024, 05:59:17 AM
Arsenal just dropped form,and their performance against Bayern last week and also their performance against Aston Villa yesterday showed it all that their form has dropped.The most annoying part of it is that they dropped this form when they have gotten to the climax of the season,when they should have tried everything possible to to still maintain a good form and solidity.With what I saw yesterday against Villa,I am pretty sure that Bayern will flog them at Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.
It is very clear how they have dropped in performance and thee most disappointing of it all is the fact that both performances was at the Emirate stadium, the home fans deserved better. The performance against Bayern was so poor that they barely managed a draw at home despite the fact that Bayern Munich is a struggling side and they were not playing well that night.

I don’t know why they keep doing this towards the end of the season, i am not sure but i guess maybe it because the team is not matured enough and not too experienced. That is not an excuse, we just saw Bayern Leverkursen win the Bundesliga title challenging Bayern Munich to the very end with no much experienced players but they were determined enough and gave it their all to the very end. With this inconsistency Arsenal have shown it will be very difficult for them to survive to the next round of the champions league facing Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena but they can if they are really determined enough because Bayern Munich are also struggling at the moment.

Quote from: Ondekinecakabilirim
Yesterday Manchester City beat Luton and took the lead. The excitement in the Premier League will continue with today's matches between Liverpool vs Crystal Palace and Arsenal vs Aston Villa. Liverpool drew with Manchester United last week. I think it is normal for them to lose points in this kind of matches. This result should be acceptable for them. But they definitely need to win today's game. On the other hand, Crystal Palace have not won in their last 5 matches. They are just above the relegation zone. But they are close to the danger zone. I don't think they can give Liverpool a hard time in this match. Liverpool will win today.
Liverpool and Arsenal disappointed again and as usual Guardiola’s Manchester City take charge of the league once again and I don’t think they will be dropping points like others anytime soon. Manchester City totally destroyed Luton town just as a title challenging team is supposed to be, a title challenging team should be ruthless and clinical and this is what Manchester City showed against Luton now they are 2 points ahead.

Liverpool disappointed me the most for losing to Crystal Palace at Anfield, they are making is easy for Manchester City. I don’t know what happened to Liverpool in the past weeks but they seem to have lost their spirit and Draw against Manchester United started it all for them then they went on to lose to Atlanta in the Europa League and now they lose to bottom table Crystal Palace. I know teams battling relegation are difficult to face at this ending stage but i expected better from Liverpool that claim they are the favorites to win both the Premier League and the Europa League.

Arsenal had a more strong team to face this week but there is no excuse to start losing after going so far and winning tougher teams in the past. I think Arsenal fans deserve better because their hopes are always raised high making them believe they will win the title soon enough but in the end the team fails to achieve anything leaving the fans disappointed. Arsenal didn’t play well against Aston Villa in my opinion especially in the second half they couldn’t create chances they were only keeping possession at the back and so Villa who are good at counters showed them how it’s done, the most disappointing part is that Arsenal lost at the Emirates Stadium when they needed the points the most.

There are no excuses of you being ignorant if a similar thread has been created in the past and you wanting to lock the thread if there is one is an excuse, you are not new in the forum so if you want to create a post you should be aware of making use of the search engine first before recreating something that already exists. Next time you should make sure to check and confirm if a similar thread already exists.

I think every body has their favorite boards and and it depends on your interests, some people are more interested in the technical board to gain share knowledge about the development of bitcoin, some spend more time in their local boards and i have seen some spend their time in the gambling board so all that matters is achieving your goal of joining the forum.

For Newbies it is still the same, if they are more interested in understanding bitcoin technically then the technical board should be their home and also the beginners and help board. Knowing your goal and finding the appropriate board that suits your goal is the most important thing to understand.

I dey always hear this tok "don't take things too seriously, you only live once" but that no mean say because I wan dey carefree, you go use that excuse prank me o. I recently watched a video where dey prank popular skit maker "funny one" wia dem say e carry drugs enter the contri e sopoz go perform and the tin serious to the point say ekelebe wan even arrest the guy before them tell am say nah prank.
In such a case , nah how the guy wan cope because I know say the allegation say you carry drugs enter any country nah big one but some content creators no wan hear that one, all them dey bothered about nah how to blow or make moni.
Shebi if Govt put law against am, them go say nah bad belle?
 My brother, nah confam observation you bring up and I wonder wetin go fit stop such costly jokes.
That’s some serious stuff there, to them they might see it as a joke but they don’t know the health conditions some people might be so playing some pranks on them might be bad for their health. Some pranks are just too much but people don’t mind the effects it may carry all they are after is just clicks and number of engagements on their posts.

I watched a video of some people trying to prank someone where one of them disguises as a dead person in a coffin and when someone tries to open it he suddenly wakes up and try to grab the person, it was after every thing that they later told him it was a prank and the acting dead body removes his costume. i think they went too far on that also as some people might feel shock and may fall down and die from the shock of seeing a dead body moving. Such silly pranks should not be encouraged at all because i feel they are deviating from making comedy.

It really wasn't that shocking that Hilal won the super cup, they are the best team in the league right now so it is only natural that they would win. I think it is also quite important to see Nasr was better than Ittihad anyway, just that they matched up earlier, so it was already known this game would end this way.
It seems like they have no competition at the moment and no one can stand in their way not even Al Nassr, they are clearly the best team in the league as they always bully every team they play and i also have no doubt that they will win the final against Al Ittihad. This season has been easy for them but i don’t think next season will be that easy because most teams that have not been at their best will seek reinforcements and bring in better players  in order to compete too, teams like Al Nassr, Al Ahli, Al Ittihad and some others will sign more players to improve their team.

I think it is quite important to keep this squad going but I do not know how Saudis are seeing this experiment. Anyone knows what's going on? Like are they going to keep spending money more and more like this forever? Or are they just going to let it be and not really focus on anything else? Because to me it looks like we are going to end up with a greater return, and they should keep pumping money into this league, makes it fun.
So far with the experiment it is quite clear that the league has improved so well and has gained popularity all over the world so spending money on players and coaches is to improve the standard of the league and so far the growth is clear. In few years the league would grow to a point they want it to be and a lot of good things will happen in the league that will yield returns but for now i believe they are not after the returns but to improve the league standards.

Arsenal are fierce in performance, bringing on their best this season. We underestimate Arsenal because they have failed in the past and there current performance is nothing new but comparable as their previous stats. Mikel Arteta is incharge but it will take lengthy time before we'll be watching Arsenal winning and lifting major titles and bringing home to Emirate stadium. The Gunners will continue to strive because there's definitely no room for reluctant performance.
Compared to last season their performance is even better but just that they are in competition with more than one team for the title unlike last season that was just one team making it difficult for them now. I don’t blame people who find it difficult to have faith in Arsenal, they have failed them countless times and the worst of it all was last season that they were 10 points ahead with just few games to play. Some people even call them Elephant whenever they are on top of the table because an Elephant at the top of a tree will always fall.

I believe if Arsenal keep trying they will eventually win the league, it could be this season it could be next season who knows so let’s sit back and trust them one more time. I hope they won’t end up raising our hopes high and end up disappointing this time again.
216  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling or selling? on: April 12, 2024, 08:31:01 AM
But i'm interested in the actions of those who bought their bitcoins more than 2-3 years ago and sold them now or are still hodling them
The thing with bitcoin investment is that everyone has their plans about how long they plan to hold and when to sell and it usually differs between individuals, some might intend holding for a short period while some might want to hold for long term but the most important thing is maintaining that discipline of withstanding any temptation to sell when your aim is not yet achieved.

Only people who invested few years back will be able to tell you what their goal is wether they want to hold for a longer period because it is based on individual differences.

How did you find the strength and patience to resist this temptation?
Please answer people who hodl not $1-2k,but at least from $20k
After all,the fear of loss from investing $1k is much easier to bear than from investing $20k
Nobody likes losing money so when we lose money we feel all worked up and tensed and it is the same for everyone but in the context of bitcoin investment we just have to train our minds to withstand when we are losing money or when there is a dip in it’s price. Everyone you see that was able to resist the temptation had to train their minds to resist it because they know the future is bright if they are able to resist it. Achieving success is never easy that’s why you should always think about the future in order to be motivated and remain focused.

Losing $1k might not be easy to bear for some people as you think because we earn different amounts and $1k might be a huge amount  for some people so writing off people who hodl $1k is not ideal.

Seriously the match is going to be a interesting one, because the two clubs will want to win the match, but it’s not going to be a easy one for both of them, but I just think Manchester city might end up winning the match just because they are playing at Etihad, so let’s see how the match will go.
Manchester City have all the advantage to themselves now playing at home and having a lot of their fans is a big flex and they wouldn’t want to disappoint them. Playing draw at Santiago Benebeu is a big mistake for Real Madrid but i believe they will not make it easy for Manchester City regardless. The match is still unpredictable and anything can happen so having the home advantage doesn’t guarantee anything for Manchester City, they will have to fight so hard till the end. It will be a very interesting match to watch just as the first leg that i don’t think i can miss the game for anything.

Leverkusen win their match as expected against West Ham United. This is another good news for Alonso because he has already secured the Bundesliga title, and he is a favorite in the Europa League this season, and if they were able to get to the finals, they can win it.
It’s not easy playing Leverkusen at home, i had no doubt in them because they have the best record in Europe currently and with the Bundesliga almost secured they don’t have much worries and they have all the time to focus on the UEFA Europa League. They have managed to win the first leg but it’s not a guarantee that they have progressed to the next round, West Ham might have something in store for them at their home. Playing West Ham in England will not be easy but they have all the advantage already.

I dont know what to expect for the second game of this two, but i cant see Liverpool coming back from this, but well Liverpool knows how to do it, just remember the Barcelona game for UCL in Anfield.
It will definitely be difficult to come back from this especially when they will be visiting Atlanta at home. The game is not yet over but i believe Atlanta will make it even more difficult for them in Italy. They have only comeback against Barcelona so it not whaat they are used to and also we. Cannot compare the squad against Barcelona with this one.

Manchester United is interested in the Portuguese player from Milan -> Rafael Leao.
The player's price is over 120 million euros according to the Italians, I doubt his valuation is that high.
Probably with 100 they take it home.
Other rumors have intensified in recent months over the Lea, with PSG interested in the player.
Manchester United are known for signing 100 million winger who end up ass flops, the likes of Sancho and Antony were both 100 million players that didn’t reach their best performances at United due to certain reasons, i don’t know if Rafeal Leao will be different from them but i trust him to be a better signing. 100-120 million is a fair price for Leao considering how young players without any experience cost so much for example, Mudryk, Enzo and Bellingham all cost 100+ million  even when they are not experienced enough. A single extraordinary season is all a player needs now to be valued 100m in football now.

It seems that he and Osimhen are the next big names ready to leave Serie A this summer.
Of course they are the best in the league currently that have caught the eyes of other team, and it all started since last season after they both displayed a wonderful performance. They could have left last summer but their love for the clubs made them hang around for a while but now it looks like they won’t be staying any longer.

What do you think of this method?
Is there anyone among you who does it?
Give us one of your winning strategies, of course if that is possible.
The motive is to not let greed take control and sticking to this strategy of quitting after a bet regardless of the outcome is a good one, that way you hardly lose too much money and also it helps keep your emotions in check there by reducing the chances of addiction.

For me i wouldn’t care if you double your money or triple it if you have confidence in your game it wouldn’t matter because games cut and even if you place a bet on 1.5 odds there is still no assurance of winning so to me I'd rather go for more odds to increase my winning maybe go for a x3 option.
