2141  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: June 02, 2023, 10:59:28 AM
Of course, it is important to remain vigilant and informed about data privacy practices when engaging with online platforms, including gambling sites and particularly if you are using the ones that belong to less reputable jurisdictions. Use the forum, read and make sure you go for reputable sites with long standing presence in the forum and on-line. That is the best protection.

I think its more safer and even better to engage onnthebuse of gambling platforms that requires no KYC just incase of the gamblers that would like to maintain the thier privacy, because once you filled in their KYC procedures, there's no more privacy there and the kind of casino used also depends because some can go beyond expectations in tracking one through these informations and the funds we have on their wallet remains theirs because we are using a online wallet which is a custodial form of wallet with them.
Even at that they are still some reputable casino our there that even with KYC requirement, you can still trust them in assuring that your personal data are safe with them. Me personal don't have anything against provision of KYC so far as the casino is one that be can stand for their claims when it comes to securing of customer user details.

It seems that it will be very funny when you lose and you blame other people or your friends, because basically when you gamble, of course you have your own choice. So, even if for example other people or your friends tell you about the bet to be made but still, the final decision is yours. So, when you win or lose at gambling, you can't blame other people or your friends, because the bet you make is your own choice so you can't blame anyone.
Well am not going against you or anything but I strongly the final decision which you claim is the hands of the person wanting to place  the bet can still be influence by one or two advice from people or friends around him. I have come across many cases where people actually plan in placing a bet on a team they strongly believe will win the game but that thought was later influence by another friend and if the person is someone who is easily influence, he will definitely change or have a different thought towards that particular game he wants to play.
2143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 01, 2023, 05:05:37 PM
Despite losing the Bundesliga title to their number one rival Bayern Munich in the last moment, Dortmund are still about to achieve one of their biggest targets. It is to make a big profit in transfers. Even only selling Bellingham would make them be in a huge level of profit. Because Real Madrid are expected to pay a transfer fee which is worth not less than his market price.

His current market price is €120m by the way. When he was transferred from Birmingham first his market value was €27m. Just look at how much he has increased his value! It must be feeling sad for their fans to be about to lose their most important player but I don't think the board would be that sad.

In the end they would be happy as long as they sell this kind of talented players for a huge sum of money. They can fill his place with another promising young player and move on.
Thats a huge profit for Dortmund board but like you said the fans are actually going to miss this talent. But over the years this Dortmund have been known for breeding such young talents and it has been known for this particular prominent position of a striker, they have made and tutors some world class strikers for example is the number one strikers currently now in the football world which is Earling Harland. Dortmund really disappointed in their last game of the season and even this deal doesn't cover for the FCK up that they attain on their last season campaign.

Sevilla once again proved that they deserve the title of King of the Europa League. The success of the Rojiblancos in blowing Roma is indeed thanks to Bono's heroic actions that deserves appreciation. In contrast to Bono, Mancini was the most unlucky player in that match, he twice caused disastrous consequences for his own team so that the title he already held had to fall back into Sevilla's hands. Yes, the defeat of Roma in the final also decided Mourinho's achievements on the European stage. And I predict Mourinho will probably leave his job soon and will return to adventure with his new team next season.

Actually Mourinho has done very well bringing Roma to the final is an achievement that cannot be underestimated that sure is impressive
it's just that luck was not on Roma side they were defeated on penalties at least they lost in respectable and have struggled
I agree with you maybe Mourinho will leave Roma next season he will look for another team and continue his impressive record.
You are correct but football victory histories doesn't actually record the runners up so that why it would have better if he had found to secure that vital victory but all the same he is a wonderful manager and has tried for the club but history will record it as a famous victory for the sevilla team and this victory help them mark their seventh Europa league title which is actually a massive achievement for them.
2145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: June 01, 2023, 04:54:00 PM
You call him a bet addict because he has money to play bets all the time, some of us who can’t even afford to feed, how do we go about raising funds to bet? Talk of turning to addicts

Deny yourself on anything that you know may gives you more access to gambling opportunities by maintaining a principled lifestyle, though to me it's not the best because gambling is not meant to be restricted on somebody, everyone should have thesame equal rights to play and enjoy gambling games, it is now our own responsibility and duty to target ourselves and apply the necessary control measures when we see that things about gambling were ot going as it were meant to be agains, if discovered early, it could be prevented.
Not everyone actually has the willpower to stop or restrict themselves from this act even if they know or feel their gambling habit are getting out of hand, some people just choose to live in denial of their addiction problem and tell themselves that they are not gambling addicts. If only gambling is actually seen as a fun fair activity where we just go and pass time and not a business place where you intend to get so much winning then I think everyone will be safe from getting their habit from reaching that stage of an addiction problem.

I got a similar message on  May 28, 2023, from the same sender. I just ignored it, thinking it was from a newbie who did not know how to create a topic and was taught sending PMs was the best thing to do, but looking at the account, where a copper member is already activated, proves that the person knows exactly what he is doing, so I just went back and reported the message to the administrators. Now I see reasons why most users here on the forum restrict newbies from sending them messages; it's always a link to another site or a new form of spamming every day. I think I will just activate that.
Well this is not the first time I have seen something like this before but I do what is popularly said when its comes to case like this which is silence and just ignore if it doesn't concerns you. Like you I have also received messages like that but not from same user but from other users and just ignore it because its not relating to me in any way but I think I will also activate this P.M restriction from newbie to avoid having my inbox filled with lots of spam messages.
2147  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I found my Bitcoin books from 2016 on: May 31, 2023, 02:34:49 PM

I hope someone learn one or two from my journey, if you can't afford Bitcoin, find a source of income first, enough to feed your needs and enough for savings or else you will go back to the last savior you have ( Your Bitcoin wallet) and spend it all to survive.


That's nice of you to write down your story here on the forum. It's always nice to read other people's story with cryptos, even if they made mistakes. The funny thing is that 2016 was also the year when I got bitcoins, but unlike you I didn't buy any books. I only used online articles and the forum here to learn about bitcoin's. Now with hindsight I wish I would have invested more time into my crypto education. My biggest mistake was in 2016/7 to sell all my coins again and not stick around for the long run. Looking at bitcoin as a great tool to save money longterm is the best approach.
I don't know how I missed this topic but it was really educative knowing how others made mistake during their early bitcoin journey. Mistake is actually the best teacher but ignorance sometimes do drag us back, I was so eager and have always wished to be there when it all started and have said to myself in different imagination about the amount of BTC I would have stacked up if I only new about bitcoin much but after reading this thread some question just kept ringing in my head  and it was how do I know if I wouldn't have made similar mistakes or even more grevious mistake like this. Well I just I hope I won't have a situation that will lead me to sell almost all my coins in my portfolio especially now that we are heading towards a possible halving that can boost the market to a new price ATH.
2148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: May 31, 2023, 02:12:31 PM
Ronaldo recently said that the Saudi Professional League could become a force and will be among the top five leagues in the world. But he also said that they are literally lacking players and infrastructure. Now how will that ever be sustainable when they need to pay a few hundred million in salaries per year in order to convince the stars to go there? The sheikhs would be better off buying their clubs in the European leagues and go from there. Establishing the SPL as one of the top five leagues is a bottomless pit.
Well I would say never say never as nothing is impossible to achieve only if the mindset of doing it is there. Well for the case of turning the SPL to one of the top leagues is something that is quite possible I believed, first the attraction of major players like the likes of Ronaldo need to be always there and paying them handsomely is another factor but like you said its all depends on the owners and management of the league for this dream to be a reality and one thing I know and beleive the Arab men for is the actual will power that pushes them to achieve all their goals.
2149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 31, 2023, 02:01:39 PM
It seems that Chelsea decided on the coach, but under a contract with PSG, Pochettino will be able to start working with the team only from July 1. It won't stop him from being in London all this time, and plan transfers with the team. Pochettino can be a good option for Chelsea, he knows the Premier League well and proved that he can achieve good results, I hope that we will see the new Chelsea, the work in the team has already begun.
Pochettino has made the best steps for Chelsea next season, such as selling players who are not on his squad list. It looks like he wants to do a major overhaul at Chelsea because he certainly knows what the current team needs with his experience and knowledge of English football, this only strengthens his decision.

Maybe we will see a new chelsea under his leadership as coach and despite failing to manage Spurs in the last few seasons, I think he is still one of the best coaches for the English team. Now the most difficult job is to unite all the existing players to navigate the EPL next season and not waste opportunities like last season.
We certainly need to see a new Chelsea squad and type of game play because Chelsea has scarred  a lot of their fans with the horrors that came with most of their games last season. Pochettino no doubt is a wonderful move for the club to help them heal up some of those injured mindset in the heart of the players, the club really needs serious working on if not by next season if they continue in their present form they might end up fight for the bottom half relegation battle in the last three position in the premiere league table.
2150  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 31, 2023, 06:33:41 AM
The wisest way to benefit from your bitcoin portfolio is to hold for a very long time and continue to DCA.

Indeed, holding Bitcoin for significant period of time and consistently adding more Bitcoins in your portfolio by employing Dollar cost averaging strategy (DCA) is a prudent approach. The historical performance of Bitcoin has vindicated that it has potential of substantial growth and ability to outperform other class- of assets, including gold and stocks, in the long term. However, decision to continue holding and acquiring new Bitcoins entirely depends on individual's financial situation and circumstances, additionally  there is always risk associated with all type of investments including Bitcoin, therefore it is wise to carefully evaluate your financial situation, long term goals and risk tolerance before making any investment decision.
I think thats actually the first thing that should come to light with anyone who is currently planning on starting an investment be it bitcoin or any other type, because you can afford to invest more than what you don't have and especially if its a long term investment it is going have a great toll on you that might result in you tempering with your investment or selling of a portion of it because of the pressure of not having enough funds to keep yourself sustained, so I will prefer before going in for an investment plan one should properly evaluate all the necessary risk involved and know the capability of his or herself because tangling yourself all in the name of saving up some stacks.


Its better to go for an active plan where you can be able buy a little fraction of BTC or save up something from your little earning, I think money splitting can help thats split it into sections where you can put some in your investment and still not be affected.
2151  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 31, 2023, 06:22:45 AM
There are enough wars and various crises in the world now, so it’s not surprising that we should expect an increase in inflation, many economists predict exactly this, sanctions on various states and start this process, besides, we forgot about covid, it was he who launched this process around the world .And now we see its consequences.
Yeah I think I will support on that although their are millions of other factors that have lead to this outburst of world inflation currently and even to the further speculation by economist's that the rate of it will still increase but a certain portion of this inflation was due to the series of pandemic that has struck the world and if I can recall not only covid that gave the world this blow but also pandemics like EBOLA.

Hello Sir Royse777,

It is with joy that I am informing you as I got promoted to the rank of a Snr. Member. I humbly request that my new rank and position be implemented on the spreadsheet when the opportunity avails.


Thank  you Sir.
Congratulations for your new rank. But you have to wait for a slot to open before that effect can take place and also if there is any Sr. Member slot open, I think think you will be the next to rank up in the spreadsheet because there is an another users who has already announced his Sr. Rank before you unless two Sr. Member slots open for the both. Look at it
Hi Royse777

I would like to inform you that I am now a Senior member.


So be patient. Once again congrats.

Well Congratulations to all the members that have successfully ranked up, we keep growing
2153  Economy / Economics / Re: Logic of life on: May 31, 2023, 12:01:30 AM
Thats a wrong calculation. For the hardwork we've done, we'll be rewarded. Same as that for what we have done in a smartway we were able to reap the rewards. This doesn't mean only based on the knowledge one have got, the person gets rich or leads the regular life. Based on what you've mentioned what will you say a person who had won big jackpot and turned rich. Her doesn't have any knowledge, all that he did is just bought few tickets. So, knowledge is required to make life better, but that doesn't mean only with knowledge one can be rich.
I think this also fall under what the op is trying to imply, because if am not mistaken it is the knowledge he had about gamble that made his exposed to that lucky opportunity because if he hadn't known that it is actually possible to have such winning in the act he is involved in, he wouldn't have given it a try even if it falls under a first time luck. I would take myself for example, I never had right  knowledge about bitcoin so I was limited to the opportunity thats come with but now its a different case so I can relate with what the op is actually trying to say.

I will like to know how you teach others about bitcoin and cryptocurrency and what you focus on (whether it been a means of payment or as an investment)? .
Baba, I no dey preach bitcoin give anyone o... everybody sabi bitcoin and based on day na bitcoin investment wey Street boys dey use cover up, I dey try dey careful o.
My advice na to introduce bitcoin to your main main guys and close relatives wey trust your judgement and the one wey go lose money and understand say na investment dem do.
So, till Nigeria stable wella, e no go too make sense to dey preach bitcoin upandan make EFCC or police no use you shine.
Ma broda I undestand, where you dey go sha, but the country don beta the way e been dey before wey people or force men dey find boys up and down, because I fit surprise you say some force men wey dey my place sef deh tell me say dem get bitcoin for their wallet but na military sha but the thing surprise me oo and the nigga understand well as in all the volatility and ups and downs of the market price. But I go agree with for the preaching part sha, as you talk am na only my close friends wey know watin sup nai I dey even reason to tell about bitcoin because most other people  dey feel say bitcoin has to with yahoo stuffs.

Next season, I double doubt if they can perform the way they did this season.  Much focus would be on, Brighton, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and also Newcastle for the top four.

I too doubt Arsenal could replicate their performance and play as well as they did in the just concluded season. And I agree with you on clubs like Brighton and Newcastle being clubs we should watch out for next season. Their performance especially Brighton was almost shocking to me. Both clubs would be great contenders for the EPL title next season. If Brighton could play as well as they had done in the just concluded season, and perhaps put in some more effort, I could see them finishing in the top four positions. Manchester United should also better step up their game cause the competition is getting more and more intense.
Well I aslo agree on the issue of arsenal not replicating this season performance because they show how they were unable to cope with the pressure of the league at the end of season but I would like to clear that it would be hard for team like Brighton to contest for the league but no doubt their performance was excellent but contending for the league, thats a totally different atmosphere with teams like Manchester city at their current best it will be hard for any team now to compete with them in for the title.
2156  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which Crypto coin Do You Gamble with the Most? on: May 30, 2023, 06:32:30 PM
-Bitcoin
-Tron (USD or TRX)
-Litecoin

the three above are coins that i often use when i want to make a deposit to gamble, but i pay more attention to network fees before making some deposit (because i usually only make a one-time deposit while playing and will not make a deposit on the same day to avoid big losses if i run out of first capital).  if i see the bitcoin fee is low, then i will use bitcoin, but if the fee is high, using tron (usdt or trx) or litecoin is my alternative option.
I think its actually an effective way to deposit in your gambling account prior to the high fee rate that is actually affecting bitcoin network and thats why I don't even deposit with bitcoin again and I prefer usdt coins since its fee rate is low because I wouldn't want to spend a lot trying to gamble on my bet account knowing their is a possibility that I can lose all the money deposited.
2157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 30, 2023, 06:02:36 PM
UEFA Champion League final match will begin on Sunday, June 11th and Manchester City has many advantage than their opponent Inter Milan, Primer League have been over last week and Manchester City has more than two weeks get rest and prepare for final match, comparison with Inter Milan still have one match left in domestic league against Torino at this weekend and have seven days later before UEFA Champion League final match.

Its seems give advantage for Manchester City with how many days left prepare for final match than Inter Milan, actually Manchester City available away to Olimpiade Atatürk Stadium, Istanbul and has many days for adapt than Inter. But new football modern they will have fast way for adapting and both team Inter or Man City are the best team success lead to final.
I guess this is probably the most talked event and definitely going to be the most watched event and I think what you might see as an advantage for Manchester can also be a disadvantage for them, because the premiere league has ended and the players will be relax without training while the inter team will be fit because of the matches they will be playing.
2158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will You Allow To Undergo Hypnosis If A Professional Recommend To Cure Gambling on: May 29, 2023, 03:58:19 PM
I've heard about hypnosis and I'm not sure how good it have got proven data. Based on my understanding about gambling, rehabilitation centres and other forms of de-addiction cannot help a person get out of addiction if his mind isn't ready for it. One can get out of gambling by his own, he himself is the only hope to deviate his activities away from gambling.

Cure gambling, maybe this will serve as a big business as the gambling industry grows but and big through every passing year. Keeping the future in mind more and more techniques gets innovated by professionals and medication experts.
Well I don't think its easy for one to free himself from a gambling addiction because this whole gambling addiction thing is like a spirit that is hard to let go and I don't think I have come or heard about the method of hypnosis as a means of cure but I have no doubt that it will be an effective way to cure such addictions. And yes like you said the industry is no doubt very huge and growing more and more every and same as the numbers of addicted gambling so starting up a business to treat this particular illness of addiction will be welcome as a good move to also help the community and also make funds.

2160  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambling is a choice. on: May 29, 2023, 03:24:59 PM

When there are freedoms where casino gambling is common, it is a really free country, I was in a country where there were no such freedoms, I don't know if gambling and casinos are legal again, but throughout my childhood I saw that no one could play in a casino because those who were found playing in casinos were imprisoned just like those who had those casinos, this is a bad thing, no government should prohibit these things, because this is a business and if they have their Investment in these businesses they should be Respected.

For the fact that gambling help eas some pain and passing out time it's become important that it becomes legalized but why most countries are against gambling is mainly because of its high addiction as it may bet some players tucked for life and end up struggling with that addiction for. Aveeyy a long time with its negative effects on the financial and general well-being of the victim.
But aside from that, I don't see anything bad with gambling and if one can properly manage it at the individual level everything will be fine.
Of course gambling isnt that bad as its even a business so you don't expect the government to restrict it if  they are actually earning some revenue from it but in a situation where their is no profit or a strict Muslim country where such act is seen as a error in the morals of society, the government can put a band to it but in all everyone has a choice and although I know its quite hard to stop the act but it all still depends on the particular individual.
