Why js there is not much of forum users interested into commonwealth games.
I have been following up on the games because my country Nigeria is in attendance,  I have also been expecting a thread on it, very good to see one here...We have some golds already to our name, what we (Nigeria) will be expecting is for us to break our personal record of finishing the commonwealth games with 11 golds as usual. We have 5 already from the games we have participated in, I am positive that this current team representing my country can break the Jinx.

Arsenal is not only dominating the match, Arsenal also is having higher chance to score,
Thanks to martinelli we are now a goal ahead, and big thanks as well to Ramsdale for making that important safe, stopping Edouard's header, I'm excited about the hunger that I'm seeing in the Gunners from Gabriel Jesus to zichenko as well as all the other players in the arsenal team, there's a new spark to our play, probably an effect from our very beautiful pre season performance, i hope we can sustain it all season long.

I personally need arsenal to score more goals say up to four, so that we can top the table with a very good goal advantage.

But it signifies what impact BTC (and crypto) actually had so far, enough to be mentioned as an important footnote in history.
It is also an indication that bitcoin has attained a level of recognition in Britain, recognition enough to be put in a museum on display to the public. This exhibition has the potential to influence and affect positively people's opinions about bitcoin first and then crypto in general. The long term effect is that it will also facilitate it's adoption amongst many British men and women who had an unaccommodating opinion about bitcoin.

But why did he have to gamble with all, if he wanted to gamble so badly and was so sure he could double the money, why not split the money into two parts, one part greater in ratio than the other and use the lesser part to gamble seeing that he's already a problem gambler. In my analysis he is first a silly individual, and allowing himself to be a problem gambler without accepting it and wanting to change has made him more sillier. I doubt he will be without a roof over his head, even if he has to squat with someone for a while or make some payment to retain his accomodation...but this experience I really hope will serve as a lesson to him to make better decisions next time. If he doesn't, he collapsed today maybe tomorrow if he continues, he may have a heart attack, slump and just die.

Chelsea offered triple deal for Barcelona stars Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay.
I suspect the management of Barcelona are looking for a way to register their new players (Raphinha, Lewandoski) without  breaking any law as regards La Liga’s Financial Fair Play margin, hence their willingness in offering these players to Chelsea especially Auba who just joined them, someone I was hoping will  be one of the players to assist the club to glory days. I'm looking forward to report from the coming days to see what Chelsea decides because it looks as though they need more defenders than attackers or midfielders at the moment.
2387  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino Games or Gambling Considered Sports, really! on: August 04, 2022, 05:00:51 PM
What casino games are sports in your country?
If we consider sports traditionally as anything that offers some sort of platform for competition between two parties say individual or team, we can refer and consider some of our local casino games like blackjack, Baccarat as sports although not having full recognition yet by the the appropriate sports body. In my country, people play these competitively and you can sometimes see two persons who walk into a casino to play these games with both of them having the intention to prove that they are better at the game, this competitive nature is the same for all sports.

It is my opinion that as things change and more interest are represented on the Olympic stage, there will be vacancy for the inclusion of more casino games like blackjack and baccarat as a sport between countries to compete for a medal, it is very possible.

I heard he would heal a month or two. So the hope of playing in the world cup is still open. Hopefully, he will recover quickly and be able to join the French.
He will recover, yes but many argue that the conservative therapy method he has chosen is a short-term solution to a long-term problem because even after recovering, there is no guarantee that the knee problem will not return maybe after a while. The permanent solution would have been surgery but surgery will take him out of play till the new year and that will mean that he will miss the world cup, something he doesn't want. At this point i hope that he recovers quickly for club and country sake, and that his challenge doesn't reoccur before the world cup.

Ronaldo currently doesn't feel comfortable with Manchester United, but as a professional footballer and also an example for other players, Ronaldo should not act childishly like what happened in that match...
One thing I can say about this Ronaldo issue is that he has to understand that all the players have to get playing time as well to express themselves and that he is still under the supervision and management of the coach regardless of whatever world record he has to his name, Manchester United is not all about him. I hope he calls himself to order because if he doesn't, in the coming season he is going to have a lot of issues with the coach and it is going to affect the team if not well managed.

What do you think about the new development in the premier league regarding players taking a knee before every game to show commitment in the fight against racism in the sport..It has now been made not compulsory for every game except for only a select few, do you think they should have continued or it is okay reducing it to only a few games?

Is it possible that we can run our household expenses with gambling ?
Unless you have decided to live constantly with high blood pressure that comes with thinking of how to meet up with your expenses through an unreliable means such as gambling. In my opinion I will advise you against such that is making a dependence on gambling as it could lead to desperation and depression that may provoke suicidal thoughts associated with not being able to meet up with one's duties. Gambling is not a steady source of income and should never be considered as one, if you mist make money from gambling or you want to turn it into a source of income, get an operational license from a sports betting or gambling casino if possible and run your own branch with their name.

Everybody here has seen the Iranian Hulk Sajad Gharibi match against The Kazakh Titan Djumanov Almat Bakhytovich,
Not so sure that everyone has, i just did myself and certainly there are others like myself.

Obviously, the Iranian Hulk Sajad Gharibi match signed to this fight unprepared and with zero boxing skills, even an amateur boxer can beat this guy with Hulkster, watching this fight made me think that promoters are just exploiting their popularity and these so-called internet sensations just want to have a quick buck.
Very ridiculous what i just watched, I expected something a bit more tense considering their body size, not this child's play I saw. I'm very disappointed I must say, in them both and in the promoters that promoted this knowing well that it may not be as expected, clearly their aim was to make money, nothing more.
2392  Economy / Economics / Re: TOPIC: Pros and Cons of saving fiat versus saving Bitcoin in this current econom on: August 03, 2022, 09:33:03 PM
Knowing what you now know, would you rather save fiat more or save in Bitcoins more?
I don't know about other people's country and the situation of things there but with the current economic situation of things in my country and how our currency is constantly losing value against the dollars, It will be a regrettable decision if you choose to continue seriously saving in fiat. Personally what I have resolved to do this season is to continue to save more in bitcoins and keep less money in fiat just for accessibility and easy use sake.
2393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 1 Billion Bitcoin users by 2024 is possible with increased access to electricity on: August 03, 2022, 05:07:19 PM
The economies of developing nations might be very insignificant when compared with developed nations but it can have a positive impact on the Bitcoin space. And this can be achieved if developing nations have access to electricity.
Better electricity is what you should say OP, because we have electricity but it is not constant/stable except you are only considering the areas with no electricity access at all, the real rural areas. An increased and better electricity will mean that the youths can spend longer hours watching TV and on the internet without being bothered about the power on their devices and a longer time on the internet will mean that they have an increased exposure, a better chance of coming across bitcoins or cryptocurrencies. Africa has a lot to offer, and it's teaming youths desperate for ways to alleviate themselves from the economic hardship instilled as a result of bad leadership will always consider and embrace cryptocurrency if they are exposed to it as a way out.
2394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you stop gamble if your girl friend insists ? on: August 03, 2022, 06:44:01 AM
What if their girl friend insists you to stop gambling  Huh Will you Stop  Tongue
Girlfriend not Wife!!
The answer can be yes and no depending on two scenarios.

It can be a no if firstly I do not see a future with my girlfriend and I understand that she is just trying to be controlling, secondly is that maybe gambling is the only activity that helps me relax which is important, and from my personal evaluation I am not ready to stop because I am not losing too much than I can accommodate. If she insists I may just tell her yes and continue to gamble in secret like many others do here which I see as unnecessary as it doesn't mean that i have stopped.

Then it's a complete yes if I personally have been wanting to stop first because of the effect it is having on my life be its economically or socially, and then with my girlfriend insists, someone that I love and see a future with it will make making the decision easier.

An interesting question lol, maybe not too related, but another angle to this- if your girlfriend insist that you stop gambling and then you secretly continue after telling her to her face that you have stopped, imagine a scenario where you win a huge amount of money and amount is too big that you can't hide and you need to come out plain to tell your girlfriend that you won the money from gambling. Do you think your girlfriend would leave you for telling a lie to her face or will forgive you and pardon you because of the money you have won?



2395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Share your Football Betting Strategies to Beat the Bookies this Season on: August 03, 2022, 06:02:56 AM
can you kindly share your online football betting strategies to beat the bookies this season?
First of all I am very glad that football what many may refer to as soccer, is back. It remains my best and favourite sport even when it comes to sports betting. My strategy remains as it has always been which is - keep your betting slips short & simple so you have a better chance at winning when you stake a good amount rather than betting on many games and expecting to be lucky with all, you can yes...but you reduce your chances at winning.
2396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 02, 2022, 09:40:57 PM
I think we just need that striker now and everything is set for the season. It definitely not going to be an easy one but won't be disappointing as well. We're lifting a trophy as always this season.
A trophy will not come easy for Chelsea this season, this season is looking very unpredictable at the moment and like an open competition to all the teams that finished top five last season including MUFC. There are rumours that Chelsea are interested in signing Jamie Vardy from Leicester as a short term option to solve their need for a proven goal scorer this season, but I'm concerned about how effective he will be if the move turns out successful considering Vardy and Injuries have been five and six lately.
2397  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria (Naija) on: August 02, 2022, 08:17:18 PM
I know say we get undergraduates for here, i believe say una don hear the news, ASUU hold meeting today and them don reach agreement say the strike go continue indefinitely,
If you be undergraduate for here wey dey affected by ASUU,  my best advice for you na for you to go find wetin you go dey do, most preferably like i dey always talk, go learn high income skill or learn more about crypto as e be say you dun dey here already. Nor dey wait for ASUU and government, their children either dun finish or dem dey private or obodoyibo. The strike fit nor end anytime soon, the matter tie wrapper. I been see where dem yan say "two years nor dey too much for nigerian students to  sacrifice unto the struggle" Grin...who see am?

The people i dey reason for too na parents wey dun pay rent for their pikin dem like my aunt, school dun go strike... house rent dey count dey go...money dey waste. Pikin wey just enter school for year one, instead of am to dey learn, e dum turn vendor for WhatsApp, thanks to Government. We need a complete overhaul of the current system for things to get better.
2398  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: RUIZ VS ORTIZ SUN, SEP 04, 2022 10PM ET EASTERN TIME/ on: August 02, 2022, 06:01:36 PM
I think Ruiz will win this fight. Ortiz is old.
When you consider age as a disadvantage, do you also consider the experience that this his age may bring as well and not just the perceived weakness. IMO, Ortiz is well aware of his age before opting for this fight, he knows what is at stake and knows very well that his age may be considered as a weakness. He will be working hard to prove those who think he has no chance in this fight wrong. He has a good shot at winning against Ruiz. It will be in the best interest of Ruiz's team not to write him off.
2399  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Papa John's store that made the Bitcoin pizzas in 2010 now has a plaque on: August 02, 2022, 03:36:40 PM
A nice gesture, but if they already wanted to record that moment for history in some way, they could have made a slightly larger plaque for the reason that it would be more visible and that it would be easier for people to take pictures with it.
Hopefully this will occur to them or someone who can get it done, A bigger one maybe like a sculpture outside perhaps alongside this portable one inside the store will ensure that everyone in Jacksonville recognises Papa John's store as a historic site for bitcoin.

The more persons that get to see it, will get to know more about the famous pizza story and understand that there is a strong culture and history behind bitcoin. Those who are not bitcoin hodlers or hodl no form of crypto will develop an interest from constantly seeing this sculpture, plus those with twisted opinions on the credibility of bitcoins will see that they have been around for a while now.
2400  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My Retired Uncle's Gratuity Invested on Bitcoin on: August 02, 2022, 02:41:15 PM
I asked him to invest 30% of his gratuity fund into agricultural farming business ...another 30% into starting a roadside Snack Bar, while the last advise was to make an investment with the 40% left in Bitcoin,
I find it surprising that your uncle would take financial advice from you especially the one that regards something as important as his gratuity. if you would ask me I would say an investment in the agricultural business and bitcoin is more appropriate, keeping out the snack bar idea which may require a good amount of the gratuity to set up and sometimes may turn out not as profitable as you expect considering that there is competition in the market and you may not know how to handle it well considering it is your first time in a food business, except it is not.

When it comes to money, all borders and barriers fall, and money is often the cause of great family tragedies.
This kind of money - Your uncle's long expected and important gratuity has the potential to cause this kind of problems if the market downturn begins to have an effect on it and it starts to look like he is loosing the money he invested. So i really hope you have and will continue to keep your uncle in the loop about the developments in bitcoin and crypto, so he develops a tough skin to ignore the market even when the price seems to be going down.
