[HT] Manchester United 1 - 0 Brentford

In the first half Manchester United completely dominated the game with 73% possession, 12 attempted shots and 2 shots on target. They also managed to score 1 goal which was scored by Marcus Rashford in the 27th minute. TBH, in my opinion this was a poor result in the first half, because with the domination of almost 3/4 possession, they should have had more shots on goal.

Manchester United couldn't immediately play calmly in the second half, because with only 1 goal they had, Brentford could counterattack at any time and make the match score Manchester United 1 - 1 Brentford.
We are well aware of Brentford capability and that's why am still wondering what the hell is wrong with this team tonight, their handling of the ball has been very poor and doesn't seem like the Brentford team that actually played out a 3-3 draw with Brighton on their previous match. Manchester United on the other hand, have control the match quite well, I will also add that the game was quite boring in the first half as Manchester United were the only actually playing the ball, hopefully maybe the second half will yield a different outcome from both teams.

It's just the knowledge and the funds to start the mining of a thing; if not, it could have been less expensive for me to conduct. 
I am lucky to come from a part of Nigeria where electricity is totally free. 
It could have been a bit profitable since electricity bills will be deducted from all budget expenses. It's just your maintenance that's if any of your appliance is damaged..

Overall the major issues Nigerians face in mining bitcoin is electricity but is mining altcoin like Bch, Doge and others profitable.
Mining bitcoin can also be profitable, also mining altcoins. It depends how close you are to access constant and cheap public electricity just like I explained above. But generally, electricity supply in Nigeria is poor.
 
If there is anyone planning on starting a mining company, I will definitely recommend Onelga LGA in River State, Egi, precisely because that's one place I know for sure that one is not going to think of all sorts of electrical bills and government settlements.
Yeah electricity is a major problem in Nigeria even outside of the fact of its involvement to mining. Starting a mining farm here in Nigeria is going to be really difficult especially as our government also has a restriction to crypto related issues but the good side is that it's like they have started embracing the fact that they can actually harbor some benefits from taxing of crypto related transactions and have decided to train some people on cryptography technology. but one thing is still missing from all ends, which is the lack of knowledge of the technology surrounding crypto. I could bet that even if Nigeria had stable electricity, most Nigerian don't know much about harnessing the benefits that comes with crypto. I think a firm or training institute should be put in place for people or individual to actually study the technical aspects that's surrounds crypto.

Anyone remember "Ultimate Tennis Showdown?" https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5255220.0

Now it's turn of KINGS LEAGUE!
Yes it's the classic soccer but in this case there are also other rules (even some really funny/crazy) that gives a new approach on the sport.

Quote
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_League
The Kings League has a set of rules that have been created through a voting process conducted on social media platforms, where fans were given the opportunity to contribute and vote on the rules.

These rules include a tie-breaker penalty shootout from the center of the field, the use of offsides, the allowance of handballs for throw-ins, unlimited substitutions, yellow cards resulting in a 2-minute exclusion, and red cards resulting in a 5-minute exclusion until a substitute can enter. The game starts with the ball in the center of the field and players starting from the back line, player numbers ranging from 0 to 99, games are divided into two 20-minute halves, and there is the inclusion of special "secret weapons" that each team can use once per game. These secret weapons include a penalty kick in their favor, a shootout in their favor, the exclusion of an opposing player for 2 minutes, a double goal for 2 minutes, a wildcard, and the ability to steal an opposing team's secret weapon card.
Kings League teams have the possibility to invite one guest player (the "12th Player") each matchday.

Yesterday it has been played the first final on Camp Nou of Barcelona.

What did you think about this new game? Did you know any gambling site offering bet on it?

Be ready for "The Summer Split". This summer season is set to begin on 7th May 2023.
After going through the link provided by the (op) on the thread, I found out its similar to the type of soccer game we played here in my locality although ours involves a 5 man team and we do call it 5 aside sometimes or we can call it monkey post game because of the size of the post Grin and so many other funny names but only those here can really relate to what am saying. The game is really fun and yes it even has same feature of penalty shout out when the both team tie in a match and the penalty is also played from the center of the pitch or in most occasion from each end of the goal post. In this game no goalkeeper is placed but a defender that stands back to guide the goal post is always there to cover up offensive attacks from the other team. The game is really nice to participate in and it's normally played out in the streets of city here in Africa and Nigeria to be very specific.

Yesterday, in the last match of the day, Chelsea played Liverpool to a goalless draw. If Liverpool had won, they could have at least qualified for the Europa League next year. Now they have a difficult task and the points difference is getting wider and wider. It must be said that the match was balanced from the beginning to the end. Both teams had chances but failed to score. Chelsea have parted ways with Graham Potter. He didn't bring much to the team. He may be a good manager but he is not good enough to manage a big team.
Why would you say that they would have qualified for the Europa league if they had won that match, I mean the league is wide open and there are still alot of games for Liverpool to play.  If they had won Chelsea they may only sit at the qualification position for the Europa league for some times hoping that they don't accommodate any slip up from  them that would warrant another team leading them in the battle of qualification to the Europa league.
2365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 04, 2023, 09:36:56 PM
As expected the game ended a nil-nil draw but I would rather give Chelsea a thumb up for getting a draw after the change of coach because it's hasn't been easy for the club but for Liverpool, I really don't know what is wrong with this club. Liverpool are very disappointing this season, they performance is just like a light switch @ off-on. Juergen kloop of Liverpool must be in a confused state because the desire results are not coming which is not so good for his job but I doubt Liverpool will ever come to the decision of terminating his contract because of his achievements for the club.
2366  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: are you still strong holding btc on: April 04, 2023, 08:46:54 PM
Just want to say that holding and trading both are two different things. We cannot consider a holder who buys BTC at a low price and sells it even if it makes a little profit. But here there are two parts of a holder a short term holder and a long term holder. Short-term holders often act like traders, thinking of selling their bitcoins for getting a little profit. But those who dream far away with BTC are essentially long-term holders who try their best to hold on it.
In this actual note, I think I fall under the category of a short term holder although am planning on buying big when that surprise  dip comes again in the bitcoin market. Bitcoin is currently pushing strong this year but something in me just tells me that there is gonna be a dip back to 20k and when that time comes I will have gathered some tangible funds to buy big and change my investment preference from short term to long term holder.

"Best time to gamble", this is really funny because I actually feel everytime is a good time to gamble so far as the factor surrounding this time you want to gamble are favourable and OK for you. For me these factors are
~a cool place
~emotional stable
~feeling lucky  Grin
I added the last factor because actually boils down to fact whether you are lucky or not because you can lose even if you are gamble in your so called best game whether evening,morning or afternoon.
2368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 03, 2023, 09:04:08 PM
I have seen several casinos with promotions where they do "drops" to thousands of people or they give bonuses to several gamblers, but how transparent is this process?

Do you think casinos are really doing these drops to 1000s of people or are they skimming from the top.... ? They might say a drop is for 2500 people, but they might only drop for 500 people and nobody will know. Yes, some of those 500 people will report that they have received the drop and it will look legit.... but is it really?

How can the gamblers verify that the actual amount of people are receiving the drop or the bonus, if there are no list to verify it? Let's discuss this.. I am curious if other people also thought about this...  Tongue
Well I understand the point you are trying to highlight, but am pretty sure no one can actually know the truth about the bonuses given to different users in their platform apart from the actually people involved in the distribution process or the owner of the casino. Like you said the casino can actually tell lies that they have given the bonuses to a specific number and this might possibly spike other gamblers to try and see if they would be awarded same bonuses.
2369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 03, 2023, 03:49:59 AM
I think there was no other choice for Chelsea than to fire this trainer. The results are just too bad. Perhaps it is still a small miracle that he had 7 months to do all this. There are trainers who ended up being fired much faster this way. And who should Chelsea actually appoint as trainer? That might be even more of a challenge. Would someone like Ruud Gullit not be interested? He was a player and coach at the same time at Chelsea. You should be able to handle that as well. Company once did it when he left Manchester City.
I am still surprised why the sack of Graham potter took so long and now the damage inflicted on the club has become so massive. Chelsea have failed to play well and win matches for almost 4 months now and they have nothing about till now which I supposed is not healthy for the club. The sanctions given to the former owner of Chelsea football club owner has also contributed to this horrendous loosing spree Chelsea had been facing, because I know Roman abramovich, he would have replaced Graham potter long before now and employed a new manager to tackle this storm but still at that Chelsea have finally decided to let Graham go so the substitute to his replacement is vital for the club, I would prefer Chelsea to go for an experience coach not one of their past player with less coaching skills, experience coach who can cope with pressure is what the club needs to help them finish the league with a slight positive end.
2370  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Study Bitcoin on: April 03, 2023, 03:32:51 AM
From what i can see here based on the bitcoin and the inscription flashed on the building of the European Central Bank, these dudes are trying to pass a message to the European central bank, Government and other financial agencies to do away with their ignorance as regards bitcoin and cryptocurrency innovations and study more about it to get updated on how the bitcoin technology works. I think the guys who did this got some balls of theirs to have attempted this but come to talk of it, this scene is very beautiful to behold.

What i see from this is that Bitcoin is here to savage the fiat financial system while making bitcoin the mainstream center of attraction which create more popularity
Obviously that's the message they are trying to pass but I could have only imagine how the central banks have started to fail their customers and now whether the government like it or not someday they are all going to thinking, implementing and using bitcoin. Seeing this just makes me see the height at which  bitcoin has gained popularity in the world today and if this type of awareness is what is needed for the government to start adopting bitcoin then I feel this is what is needed here too in Africa. Bitcoin is taking over the financial system and Africa is one planet that needs such massive awareness although the spread of bitcoin is good in some part of Africa like my country Nigeria, the growth and spread of bitcoin is massive and I feel it's time we give our own Central Bank an awareness too to study bitcoin  Grin, would be really nice to see something like this play out in my locality but only brave dudes can carry such out.

2372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: April 02, 2023, 03:50:57 AM
I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.

Source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gambling/comments/120jc8a/should_i_gamble_until_i_win_so_that_i_can_have_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=3&utm_content=share_button
I think that's the worst thing any gambler can possibly do and most gamblers still do it no matter how hard they try to stop gambling when losing. If you intend to find closure by trying to gather your loses only God knows where thats gonna end you, you might end up losing your whole money so its better you just stop gamble when you are experiencing a losing spree because your emotions can also trigger you to loose more because at that moment you won't  be thinking straight so its better to close the gamble because chasing your loses can only result to one outcome which is more loses.

If I were you, I would definitely freak out too seeing that after reading the rules of the forum you saw that spaming is not allowed and on exactly your first post you were tag by the forum software as a suspected spammers although as I have read so many comments from seniors that says its just a April fools day joke by the forum admin but I was pretty shocked and surprise too like the way you are now but am waiting for the whole day to clear up to actually see to claims of this new update so I think there is no need to be scared so just go with the vibe of the April fools day till it actually clears out but for now most people in the forum are all suspected spammers Grin

Today I actually followed my mind and it paid out and work for me very well as I have been having big doubt on Chelsea performance so far and I really saw the 6.15 odd given to aston villa as a big free odd and I decided to bet on the odd with my spare 10$ i had and it actually play out well for me, so Chelsea loosing today was actually a blessing to me Cool Cool. Aston villa really played very well today and the struggle of the blues continues.
2377  Other / Meta / Re: A recap of Theymos April fool Jokes from 2015 till date on: April 01, 2023, 08:04:33 PM
The most fascinating aspect is that the old members do play along and appear as if they don't know what's going on, as we have today, many threads have been opened for questions, and some other members who offer signature service management have made jaw tantalizing rates threads to fool participants.

Theymos always appear serious about it with the support of some extremely reputable forum members, which makes the joke interesting. Most of the time, the jokes are always about something very difficult and the majority of forum users will not be happy if it is implemented.

Kudos to OP for taking the time to compile all of these Theymos April Fool's Day events from 2015. However, this Captcha is challenging because the more difficult the next one is to solve, the easier the first one was.
To be honest at first it really surprised me about the part that say users that failed the recaptcha will be banned from next week because I did actually play and try to solve the recaptcha but menhh the more I try the harder it felt and like you said power glove and some other users like Fillipone took it very serious and I won't lie I really had a bit of a scare hearing about banning of account because the game felt impossible on mobile but it was just an April fools day trick. Nice one though and I never knew the tradition has been on for this long @2015 till date.
2378  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is buying BTC now, the best option ??? on: April 01, 2023, 07:48:39 PM
As you have already stated that the price is speculated to rise once again prior to the awaited bitcoin halving which happens every four years which is likely to happen next year so I think this is a brilliant time to hoard as much btc as you can through DCA that's if the funds to gather much is not available and it would be better to go for a long term investment because that's when you can actually get some tangible profits because the price is already gathering momentum to pump up for next year halving as its already 28k+ so holding the coins after investing is probably the best stragety to gain profit.
