It's not always easy to make the right decisions. Are you a gambler? If you're offered 1 btc without playing or 5 btc by playing (with a chance of 2 to 1). What do you do?
Yes, I am a gambler, and if I am given this kind of offer, then I will be going for 1 BTC without gambling rather than choosing 5 BTC with gambling. I know the risk involved in gambling, and I won’t want to lose everything to gambling. I know the 5 bitcoin is kind of much, and it’s ridiculous to choose 1 bitcoin over 5 bitcoin, but sometimes we don’t have to be greedy, and when taking risks, we should be careful, we shouldn’t take risks blindly, and we should know that when gambling, there is no assurance of winning, anything can happen at any moment, so I can’t just take that risk, I will rather go away with 1 bitcoin than lose the 5 bitcoin later.

Chelsea signing Cole Palmer from Manchester City have remained one of the best signings under Todd Boehly this season and the new player had positive impact on the club's performance in matches and he's always there to provide aides to the best of his ability.
Sometimes I do think about the position which chelsea will be without Palmer. I can’t just imagine the position Chelsea will be in if they don’t have Cole Palmer. Since the beginning of the season, Palmer has been playing well for Chelsea, he has saved Chelsea in multiple matches by scoring fantastic goals and making assists. Palmer is really a nice player, and I never expected him to perform so well when he was signed immediately, but with time, he started displaying his talent. We all saw the way Palmer played against Newcastle, he was able to make one assist, and he scored one goal, which really helped Chelsea in the match.

If you are a student you must trade carefully to trade $500. Before trading you must acquire enough knowledge about the trade.
That’s the first thing which the OP should know, if you want to start trading, you have to acquire enough knowledge first or you might end up losing all your $500, which am sure you are going to be pained if after suffering to accumulate that amount of money, then you lose everything, so when you accumulating your knowledge, you have to put everything into practice, and in the process of doing that, you shouldn’t use all your money to do that, just allocate just small amount from the $500, and start with it, if you are learning how to trade, their is high chances that you are going to lose almost all the money which you started with, but gradually your losses will be reducing.

Thanks for the information, although 794,000 sound unrealistic to ask as minimum wage
After seeing the news I just shake my head, because I know say na something wey dey no go fit achieve, that amount is just too higher and the government won’t even take them serious, how are they going to request that amount of money as minimum wages it sounds somehow to me and the NLC making the request are not serious, maybe they just want to use us to play politics again just as dey do before, they know you can’t achieve what they are requesting for, why don’t they make realistic demand.

but di way wey naira don de turn to shitcurrency, I no go de too surprised if anybody de make any outrageous demands, because di rate wey commodities take de add money for di country de make naira de lose value everyday.
But hope u know say if dem increase minimum wages go that amount wey dem dey demand for, price of things ho sky rocket again, markets go add prices to their products just because of the increase in minimum wages, they go talk say na opportunity wey dem get to dey cash out also be that now.

The match is still ongoing and it's getting more interesting again.
The position right now:
Chelsea vs Newcastle : 3 - 2
I knew Chelsea was going to win the match  after the first half of the match ended, their performance was not bad in the first half of the match, even as pressure was on them towards the ending of the first half of the match which leads to goal, I was still having the feeling that Chelsea will win the match, and am happy today Chelsea didn’t disappoint me. Even as I didn’t place bet on the match, am just always happy whenever I see Chelsea win their matches. palmer played well in todays match, and Jackson that have been performing poorly in most Chelsea matches played well today also.

In all countries around the world there currencies are all printed in paper which is called note though there maybe countries who still use coins till now. All around the world money can be misplaced maybe from your pocket, your hand or maybe your wallet may even get lost but still some people don't feel it when their money get lost because it's not that very high in exchange like in Nigeria where we have our highest currency which happens to be 1k and many other currencies like #500, #200, #100 and others most times we misplace this money and others pick it up with joy of having what you didn't work for but in this recent economy everybody has refused to lose money as usual ( laugh ).
I can’t really remember the last time I saw money on ground, I think people no longer lose money again, gone are those days wey u go dey waka you go see money for ground again, and as our money no even get value again, even if you see 100# or 200# for ground now, no be serious money, but if na before, if you see even 5# or 10# for ground if you see the way person go dey happy because u know Wetin you go fit buy with am. During that time Nigeria never worst like that, we still dey chill that time for dis country, no be like now wey if you hold 1000#, you no go even sabi Wetin u use the money do self.

What if the Bitcoin was in notes and with the same value as it has now, do you think anyone would misplace it or even walk with it on the street. Eventually you see a Bitcoin note will you return it to the owner. Let's be sincere and also see it as fun.
If bitcoin is in note, I no dey sure say people go even dey carry am commot for house self, na for house everybody go dey hide am because mistake fit happen anytime, and you fit lose am, just imagine say you carry 1 bitcoin commot for house you come lose am, you go wan craze now, where you go even start from self,  1 bitcoin na over 100 million naira ooo, where you go even start from if you lose that kin money.

If I see bitcoin note for ground, as long as I fit sabi the real owner of the money, then I go return am, person money no fit make me rich, if I fit take the money and I no return am, my mind no go clear.

Missed the bet on the Chelsea vs Newcastle game but now Chelsea have taken the lead but I'm sure Newcastle can definitely pull a goal back or even win?
I didn’t place beg on the match because Chelsea is just unpredictable this season, they do perform well when most people never expect, like todays match, their performance is not really bad, even as they are playing draw, their performance is just kind of incredible in the match, the first half of the match has ended, so we are expecting the second half of the match to start soon, I won’t be surprise if Chelsea ends up winning the match today, I just hope they will be able to continue with their good performance in the second half of the match.

Betting odds with the game on @1.40 and @7.50 believe Newcastle will win at home to Chelsea? Honestly I always doubt in Chelsea game but this time we know Newcastle also always suffer the same fate with many defeats.
If Newcastle win then these odds are the best odds you take in a single bet.

You are not the only one that’s always doubting Chelsea, most people don’t longer have confidence in Chelsea due to their inconsistency, most people are finding it difficult to place bet on Chelsea match, because Chelsea are just really difficult to predict this season, they perform well when no one expect them to perform well.
248  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Have I been Scammed?? on: March 10, 2024, 06:03:36 PM

I invested with someone(moderator) of a group on Telegram called Worklite Uni Options, her name is Lora. I did some research and did not find anything bad. I did contact a lot of the members for reviews or if they had been paid and no bad reviews, everyone got paid per plan, thought surely not everyone lieing (10 people). It was a 21 day payout. My 21 days is up and now all of a sudden she wants a TVN (trade verification number or code) to verify my profits for her server to send my profits.
I don’t really know about what you are talking about but you might likely have been scammed, I see any investment on telegram to be a scam, and don’t be surprised that those people that have the review are also part of the team. When scammers are operating sometimes, they are always doing it in group, so they will make everything look real, some of the people giving the review might be scammers also, or some might even pay people for the review, and most people don’t care about the authentication, all they are after is just the money.

Wetin go happen now, if person lost all access to him wallet. Imagine say, due to flood, crisis, fire, theft , person lost in wallet phrase, phone, laptop, drive or books or whatever related to your wallet recovery and safety.
If you lose access to your wallet, then everything is gone, there is no way you can access the wallet again. Things wey u mention above fit happen at any time time, na why when we dey back up your private key, make sure say u no put am for only one place, because if anything do that only one wey u get, then you don lose access to your coin be that.

And also make sure say you no back up your private key for paper, because e fit tear any time, and if water touch am e fit spoil, but if you dey use iron steel, just carve ur private key for am, make u hide am for different places, that one can’t be easily destroyed.

Manchester City control the match so far while Liverpool play defensively but John Stones scored a goal for Manchester City from a corner kick.
The two clubs are playing well, Manchester city have been able to score one goal in the first half of the match which is really a nice one for them, Manchester United have to be kind of careful, if not Liverpool might end up equalizing, they are giving Liverpool lots of opportunities which is not suppose to be like that, the best thing Manchester city should do is to tighten their defense, and score more goals. Manchester city is ahead of Liverpool but that doesn’t guarantee a win yet for them yet, we are still in the first half of the match and anything can still happen.

Managing finances is indeed the main role for us to be able to manage our daily lives so that they can run smoothly from the start to the end. I agree that it is necessary to prepare savings and investments simultaneously by first sorting out all the income received as best as possible, how much is used for daily needs, saved and invested.
Clear savings to prepare if something is out of control that can be used immediately, and the investment made is to be able to increase income if it goes well. You are right that if everything is done with good planning, then prosperity will naturally accompany you in life.
managing your finances is something you can do not with words but with the heart because one of the most difficult things to do is not being able to manage your finances you should be able to spend reasonably and try and cost your expenses so that it will be much easier for you to manage. do not spend on things you do not need. because a lot of us buy things we do not even need and having that kind of behavior is bad for our finances. instead of buying things you do not need spend the money on an investment and when you get any money in return you can also re invest it. because when you have the intention of saving you might be tempted to always spend money and that way you wont be able to achieve anything. instead of saving invest it since bitcoin started you can invest your funds there and hold till like forever.

It was quite a surprise to see both Luton Town and Sheffield United managing to avoid a defeat yesterday despite both of these teams playing against their opponents away from their home stadium. The players of Burnley does look very demoralized with their current form and I think it will be tough for Burnley to replicate the result of Luton Town and Sheffield United yesterday, I guess West Ham United should be able to avoid losing points to Burnley today.
Those two clubs surprised me yesterday at least since they did not win they were able to draw yesterday. both Luton Town are Sheffield are wearing the same shoes and they are so bad that when they play against other bigger clubs they can not even win a single game the funny thing is that when you watch their games against other bigger clubs everything is always on the side of there opponent from the possession from the attacks then the goals. they hardly see the goalkeeper of their opponent to show how bad they can be. and Bournemouth would have won 3:2 but one of the goals was canceled by Var and even at that Bournemouth is not that good so they were an open space for Sheffield if not they would not have been able to score those two goals and they would still in between the line of been relegated Sheffield need to do more work.

It's true that there are still several more rounds to determine whether the chances of winning the Champions League title will be greater and after the round of 16 is finished the 8 teams will still be screened again in the quarter final round. The competition will be more mature and I think each prediction will become more difficult in determining the winner in each match. I favor Inter, Manchester City and Real Madrid, I think these three teams are at the same level but whoever becomes champion could be one of them. I also don't underestimate other teams like Arsenal or PSG and even though for both of them this competition is very difficult, they can always produce the results they deserve.
You see, these clubs you mention, I think they are the favourites this season, although in the round of 16, that is where we will know whether a team will go to the next round or not. But with all indications, I have hope for Inter, Real Madrid, and Manchester City. The only team I have doubts about is Inter Milan due to the type of team that they are going to meet with on their way to the final stage. I think they may get some challenges there, especially Manchester City, who are very good, and I know when it comes to consistency and experience, they are in better shape compared to Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan and Manchester City are not on the same level. In my opinion, I feel Manchester City is in better shape than them. 

Quote
For Arsenal and PSG, winning the Champions League is their biggest dream since founding the club and it would be a historic moment for these two teams if they could win their first title in the Champions League. Apart from that, I also don't forget Atletico, who have repeatedly been regulars in the semifinals or even finals, only they were always unlucky at that time.
For these reasons, I can say that the competition will be more tough because we know that Arsenal are doing well, they have been consistently winning matches in the Premier League competition, so if they have a match here, I believe they will deliver, and the fact that you said they really need the Champions League title will make them more focused on scoring goals in the Champions League too.

The match between Brest and Lens is about to happen, and spectators are sure to be enthralled by the captivating spectacle that is in store. I look forward, feeling a sense of excitement build as I picture a fierce battle. With Brest sitting comfortably in second place and Lens in a comfortable sixth place in the league standings, both teams come into the match in formidable form.Although Brest's superior ranking may indicate that they have the advantage, the possibility of Lens playing at home adds a tempting element of unpredictability. Even though Brest is thought to be stronger, Lens's home advantage might tip the odds in their favor. As a result, even though I think Brest will win, the result is still up in the air and could take some unexpected turns.
PSG is going to face Reims in the next match at Princes Park. I think this should be easy for PSG on their home ground. Even though PSG has not been able to win the last two matches in domestic competition, this one should not be much of a challenge for PSG. We all know that the biggest challenge for PSG is actually the Champions League. And in Ligue 1 They are ahead by quite a lot of points. So even if they drop points or lose, which I do not expect them to do, I believe they are still going to be okay. But at the same time looking at the current form of Reims(L-W-D-L-L) I do not think it is going to be anything other than a win for PSG.

I don't think Reims will pose much of a challenge to PSG tomorrow. I expect PSG to win the match easily, without facing too much difficulty. It's not that Reims is a terrible team, but when you look at their performance this season, PSG is clearly superior. Additionally, PSG will be playing at home, which gives me even more confidence in their ability to dominate the game. Playing in front of their own fans usually brings out the best in PSG, so I believe they will appear strong and secure a comfortable victory against Reims.

I've been advised that as a newbie i shouldn't rush but to learn from old forum members and grow. But then, I've seen that for one to grow over here you need to get merited and on a regular basis, well i believe at this point i should've been able to acquire some merits, despite the fact that I'm still a Newbie but then i don't see the Merits coming, even after some post i felt could fetch the Merits. It makes me wonder if my posts are not Merit worthy or Quality enough.
If you are desperate Looking for merit, it might be difficult for you to get merit, because if some members notice you are posting for the sake of merit, they will end up not meriting you, so if you are posting, don’t have it in mind you will be receiving merit, just post because you want to learn here, or you want to make make impact to the forum. Some of your post might be useful to some people, and they will want to merit it, but if they don’t have smerit, then it won’t be possible for them to merit you. You might think some of your post are worth meriting, but it might not worth meriting to people, but the best thing is, stop thinking about merit and post freely.

Though it almost got me díscouraged, however instead of being discouraged, I'm open to learning ways or how to get the Merits and grow on here, my questions are what I'm i doing wrongly? How can i improve it and also where is the best board to write on if i need these Merits coming?
You shouldn’t be discouraged by you not getting merit, all what I have to tell you is that, keep on putting more effort, and everything is not about creating thread, even when you make quality reply, then you will be able to receive merit. The only aspect I know you are getting it wrong is that, you are desperate looking for merit, which is not suppose to be like that.

Even people that don’t care about the addicted gambler are affected, as long as you are related to the person, then you might end up being affected. How are you going to use the money meant for wedding for gambling? I have been hearing crazy things that gamblers do, but I don’t know some people do things like this, are they going to cancel the wedding or what’s going to happen? It’s going to be an embarrassment to me, how I wish crazy things like this can just be stopped, things like this are what makes people have wrong impression about gambling.

- a son using the school fees given to him by his parents for gambling.
I have seen this one multiple times before when I was in school. Some of them will use their school fees to gamble, if they lose, they will start demanding for unnecessary money from their parents, some of them will tell their parents they are asked to pay for something’s in school which is false, when they scam their parents, then they will be able to pay their school fees, and some will end up selling their properties before they will be able to pay their school fees.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: March 08, 2024, 10:22:21 PM
The same mistake I have repeated is to continue gambling to round up my winnings. It has happened multiple times. Let's say I won 52 dollars from a game, and I wanted to round up this figure to 60 dollars and continue to gamble even though my initial target was to reach 50 dollars. Sometimes, I wasn't able to round up the figure, and I lost the entire amount.
Something like this do happen to me frequently, sometimes after winning some money, I will have the mindset to increase the amount I have won, in the process of increasing it, I will be losing higher percent of the money I have won, I will be left with just little amount of money. When gambling and you win some amount of money, the best thing is just to take your win and stop gambling for that particular period of time, trying to increase your win might end up leading to you losing all the amount you have won, be satisfied with the amount you win, and after winning, you can just stop gambling for that moment.

This is an opportunity for Manchester City to top the Premier League table if they can beat Liverpool on Sunday at Anfield.
It’s really a create opportunity, but the question is will they be able to win Liverpool in the match? I don’t know how the match is going to be, but it’s really going to be a tough and interesting one. If Manchester city can win the match, then they will be able to take over first position, but if Liverpool can win the match, they will be able to maintain their first position, but if any of them lose three points in the match, they will be dropping to 3rd position if Arsenal wins their next match.

But if Manchester City fails to beat Liverpool on Sunday, it will be difficult for them to top the Premier League table because Liverpool can end up at the top of the Premier League table until the season's end. 
Any club that loses the match might not be able to win the premier league again this season, because as we can see, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are not ready to drop point this season, those three clubs are playing well, so any club that can drop from their current position, they might find it difficult to climb the table back.

I feel bad for those people that were stabbed, but people that did that are suppose to be punished, why do you have to do that kind of crazy thing, no matter your condition, you should be able to control your anger, it shouldn’t get to the length of stabbing someone.
