It is not that they are not proud of what they do but we live in a world of psychopath that people expect you to behave in certain way which is the norms and custom that people are known with.

There could be two are three reasons that I can justify that people hide such gambling habit and one is that of religion and family upbringing/background. It is like the case we treated here where a boy from religious home won $46k from sports bet but couldn't freely disclose to his parents who are religious people.

Another reason could be the marriage status. If a man is married and the wife doesn't like gambling, while the man does, it is likely that the man will continue but will hide it from the wife. I have seen a man who hides his gambling habit from the wife but other people know about it, sometimes the woman criticize gamblers and vouch for his husband that he doesn't involve in such unrewarding venture but people would laugh at her ignorance.

Another reason could be what people will say, that is the society especially when they don't know you are gambling. If you are a prig then you are likely to be hiding your gambling habit.

This is easy with someone who is not a gambler but have just tried few times and accidentally got a winning. Such person can decide to back out but for someone who does gambling often times, he won't stop gambling because he has won some money from the casino because he understand that it is his turn to win and the luck has come to him. He can only be careful not to lose more than he has been losing already. It is greed that make a bettor to lose higher than he has been losing because he wants to take higher risk.

I would rather be patient a little more till the month ends because I see from op's chart that it is gradually pointing at 24,500 which is a support. So if it gets there and bounce of then one can comfortably buy in , or to wait and see how the month price will end. The expectation of next six months depends whether the price will bounce on 24,500 because that seem a strong support or whether it will go do further or bounce off for bull continuation.

You sort of contradicted yourself at the end of your post. At the beginning you condemned the use of chemicals on land or farm and at the end you identified that not rotating farm is responsible for low harvest. Therein is the issue of chemicals and why it is important to help farm products to grow faster. If fertilizer is applied in a particular land during cultivation and fertilizer is not applied in the second farm, the former will grow faster and produce good fruit. Chemicals are used to support farm and that will help to increase the quantity of farm produce.

Playing computer game doesn't really merge with gambling because gambling you have your emotion to struggle with as your money is involved but mere play station only spike you up but you don't take reckless emotional decision, only to play and have fun , no money is involved.

That documentary is actually teaching against chasing losses because that is the major causative factor that will make someone become an addict. Addicts don't play for fun but for the purpose of multiplier.

To start with I hope we understand that all the factors listed are under business? They all involve risk and reward.


I will choose real estate and the points you made on it are nothing but the fact. Land of house don't get devalued just as inflation is hitting hard. If the house depreciates as a result of wear and tear, you just go on renovation and it is back to modern taste. Real estate value appreciate as the days go by, you can mortgage, lease it out while you are not even occupying the premises you are earning from it.

On the other hand I can only invest as second option in bitcoin.

In a real and ideal situation, those who criticize government are suppose to be those allowed to show what they have to offer because it may seem that they have better idea. I said ideal because assuming the system is not corrupt, so that they can genuinely offer something positive to growth of the country but the problem is when such person get into power or government and meet bad system, they eat their words and start doing same thing that they have criticized or they are frustrated out of the system by those who are feeding from the corrupt system.

The talk wey I get to yarn about this gas generator stuff be say e still dey look risky for me. I never get moral to even stay where Dem dey use am not to talk of using it. My question be say wetin be the level of savings wey person fit get from dat because if we dey follow people dey do something, we suppose also dey check the gains and loss. Now somebody wey no dey use him generator for business, meaning say your level of fuel consumption fit no dey high like you dey use am time to time, you suppose know how much you dey save whether e worth am to go start using the gas. If business people decide to use am base on say Dem dey safe money from am, Dem fit get point but no be for low consumer of fuel to begin stress their self on d thing.

And one big question be say, hmmm what if this government go increase the price of gas?  Because nothing dey stable for Nigerian governance.

You sabi wetin make you drop this post and unto say you sabi what's up about our struggle for the local board matters, that one speak volume. Anyway, yes God na ultimate in everything wey we dey do. Even when people dey plan bad for us when we know no, him dey protect us because him say him desire for us na for God and not for evil. As always, he is great and mighty God.

For this aspect wey you take give example now, I will consider this as selling your bitcoin for cash or to convert am to cash. This one dey different from trading it. Trading also dey different from hodling your bitcoin for your wallet or exchange whatever where you leave am. But to trade bitcoin, you are talking about futures trading where price moves up and down and you fit make profit from each of them if you get ur analysis well. But if you need urgent 2k and you sell your btc to buy wetin you want, na sell you sell no be trade in the broader sense of trading.

If naira fall against dollar to the levels wey you don mention, me no go too surprise. The only thing be say that #1,500 per $ for december wey be around 4 months time fit no dey realistic but whether we go hit #1,000 per $ , dat one fit happen. Meanwhile, we no even need to compare bitcoin and naira, naira no dey gain any strength because the government never do anything wey go increase foreign reserve, the economic no dey export, so you see some much naira chasing dollar because people want change am to travel or important something.



Me I no go even advise person to hodl money for dollar because that one too fit crash if government decide to make one stupid announcement wey dem no go follow but bitcoin is not affected by within government talk. However, even dat btc self only good for this time wey we dey expect halving and bull run, apart from that if bear hit someone for bitcoin, na next four years oo. The best na to trade btc after bull. You fit hodl am now because of the bull but we know say correction go happen after sometime.

However, I no sure say guys wey dey here dey feel d inflation like those wey dey outside dey earn in naira on top government bare promise to increase their pepper for the month. As naira dey fall, dollar dey rise. The difference in the increase of dollar dey help take care of the inflation to an extent.

Ur clarification make sense. Well apart from say English too enta us unto say the lingua franca tin wey take so much of our mother tongue away, some sabi write pidgin but dem no just want to write wit am. Me even lik 2 even flow with pidgin, e dey sweet and away 2 code ourselves here. If we dey yarn english all d tim, anybody 4m oda board go dey follow us bumper 2 bumper & no all d tin wey dey sup here, e no too make sense. Although d issue start 4m top as we no get one unifying native language as we see for oda board. Except say pesin sabi french, german, u no fit jus enta dose board 2 no wetin dey sup dere except u wan translate.

It is not always that way you are seeing it. I believe if such happen, those gamblers who are already playing their land base are also likely to be those also signing up to the online with just very few more to it. But usually the patronage may not be widely different because someone betting on the land casino will not have much to bet online and vice versa.


You are right on it. There is a reason to choose a land based casino. The owner may not want to undergo the processes of online casino and if he comes up with the idea later, it means he has prepared to take up the challenge.

This is normal when you do a direct bet. Direct bet is usually full time (FT) and after that winning or loss is determined based on if you bet direct home win (1), away win (2) or draw (x). So @ Fivestar4everMVP, you had a 90 minutes bet expiration and not extending to penalties or lifting of trophy or tournament cup etc. That is what has happened.

For example if you had a draw bet (x) and the match at FT ends at 4/4 then you will win the bet irrespective of who won at extra time or penalties. When match extends into penalty, it is a different cattle of fish however, you can also bet such option because they are all in the varieties of option but you need to as well understand them. If you need some of the meanings of those options, I think there is no information that google can't provide.

Based on your income in a week, if you are using this amount mentioned to gamble I think it is on the high except if you are making appropriate profit from it to cover your losses because most gamblers make more losses than profit and to lose 20% weekly from your earnings is surely high. A gambler who wins often wins has no issue with how much invested in gambling but a perpetual loser has to watch on how much wasted in betting. There are people who have stopped gambling because of frequent losses. Yes, if it is not working for you it is better to quit like you said you did.

You fit talk about being your own boss, doing your own thing without another involvement but I hope that one you dey refer to crypto investment or trading but e no just sweet as you talk am. People dey lose shege from trading the crypto, so e no just balance with life. No where easy, if na about cryptocurrency investment generally, losses plenty pass gain except you dey talk on to wetin dey sup here but outside day one, bro forget, e no sweet like that.


Yes but no be only crypto, na the gains wey dey for smart phone and getting connected online. Na there e start, being online, you meet crypto, deriv, fx, freelancing etc and affiliate marketing if them no scam you 

I think one can be exposed to gambling without being an addict. If you are exposed to something it means that you are knowledgeable about that thing not necessarily that you are involved in the activity. By the way, you can play from time to time and you are exposed to it but not an addict to it. There are people who have also played gambling in the past and have stopped, they are exposed to it because they know all that happens in it but have taken the decision to stope, so they also are not addict.

I would rather run away after winning than continuing after winning  I believe this is the wish of many gamblers who are in a losing spray lol. I have known gamblers speaking like this from their losses that they want to recover some portion of losses. Except a gambler is a chronic addict and the type that wants to have gambling as a source of income, otherwise it is better to exit when the ovation is loudest and that could be when you hit that big jackpot.

Oh... This reminds me of the Athenian democracy where families, villages, communities and the entire people were consulted to take policy decisions and that is the essense of democracy but what has gone wrong in all countries because every one country had a little beginning where they did things in one fold and got happy with policies. Is the kind of democracy we see today, that which was practiced in time past, where inflation was little or known, when currencies were valuable to purchase as adequate products as needed. What has really gone wrong


Bitcoin used as world currency will not guarantee no inflation. This is because IMO, miners may increase fees overtime since fiat is out. I think if miners fee begin to increase then that can reduce the value of your bitcoin, despite bitcoin being deflationary but where fiat is totally taken out, the forces of demand and supply may start to occur. I can imagine miners or exchange increasing transaction fee between $30 to $150 for transfer of $1,000 worth of bitcoin.

It is understandable that both offline and online casino are not serving same purpose, most play online because of the privacy.

I understand this point probably because of the incidence of scam where online casino just disappear without trace, at least if they had offline casino then they wouldn't disappear like that into tin air without any trace. I think to play in more reputable casino is more trusted than new ones, casinos like stake have been there, tasted and trusted with personalities that identify with them.
