241  Economy / Economics / Re: We care about the economy, but we can't change its direction on: September 05, 2024, 01:53:52 PM
Almost everyone is concerned about the economy: prices, housing, wages, stock market fluctuations… Yet, despite our intense focus on these issues, as ordinary individuals, it seems like we can't make a dent in them. Economic policies, global markets, and decisions made by big companies often dictate the direction of the economy, and we can only passively accept it.

But does this mean we’re truly powerless? Do you think there are ways we can influence the economy, even if just on a small scale? Or are we simply left to protect ourselves and make adjustments within this system?
We genuinely care about the prices of of wages, housing, stock market fluctuation and the general price of goods and services in our economy because it affects us directly. The question of if we are powerless, let's get it clear, the Government are the ones that collect revenue on our behalf, they generate income from our tax, they do that because it's believe those money are meant to use and run the system effectively, so that housing and goods and services can be affordable for the citizens.

 Now when the government refuses to play her own part, it then means there is a breach of agreement on the side of the government on not fulfilling her part, so in a bid to show to the government that they are not being proactive to our plight, is either we protest or we wait till election comes we vote them out, to vote in leaders that will help solve our problems. In doing so it has shown that the office of the citizen is not powerless but one of the most powerful office you can occupy.
242  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Social religious values ​​and economic progress on: September 04, 2024, 10:55:30 PM
Ideological differences are normal behavior for a nation that state authorities are rigidly or flexibly controlling. The lowest level of ethnic ties in a country is the society. The stronger the religious values ​​of the people of that society, the stronger the bond between the people of a country and the patriotism between them can be more intense and patriotism is most important for the overall development of a country. Religious freedom of a country can create a peaceful environment among the people of that country which is essential for the economic progress of the country as a whole.

What is your opinion?
Sometimes religious values doesn't equate good economy and Nigeria is a typical example. Nigeria is one country with a high religious followership, there is literally no Nigerian that doesn't believe in one religion or the other, from the president, to the governor's and LGA chairmen all belongs to one religion or the other.

However this has not helped to build a sustainable economy for the country. in building a country, you need strong institutions and laws to guide the society of any country, if you check in the world, there is no country that is great economically based on religion values alone, what has made them to be strong economically has been policies of government that has been followed over time.

So if we want to improve our economy, we need to have instant laws and strong institutions like the judiciary, the police, civil service system that is not corrupt and the law enforcement agents in general to do their work diligently, that way we can build our economy.

The average gambler or not thinks that Arsenal is the favorite in this match to win, but in fact Arsenal almost lost. Brighton's revival in the second half made it difficult for Arsenal to maintain their lead, especially when they had to play with 10 men. It's not bad, but at least the draw has hurt most of the gamblers who bet on Arsenal.

After the break ends, we will wait for another exciting match involving Arsenal and Tottenham. Arsenal is playing away from home and it is very possible that this will not be an easy match either. Tottenham, who previously lost, must try to recover and improve their performance, so Arsenal must be careful considering the tension of the London derby is very tense.
We all know that Arsenal has a good defence in their performance this season, and they are trying their possible best to see if they made it to the trophy, so I see no point that will make you doubt about their performance and even think it will be very hard for them to overcome Tottenham. We all know that Tottenham are also strong teams, and they are playing a home game, but that doesn’t still mean Arsenal will lose the game.
 
Furthermore, the game Arsenal played against Brighton Arsenal was strong at the start until they got their red card and played the game of 10. That is when they became weak and almost lost the game, so that doesn’t still mean they are weak because they were still able to maintain the game on a draw.
I certainly agree with you, though Tottenham are the home team here, at least there will be some sprinkle of home advantage though might not be too  effective because they are playing against arsenal, and arsenal are very good in their Central midfield and defensive, that is why it's always easy for them to create an attack because they always have a balance on the midfield, the only thing they've been lacking is a finisher because obviously Gabriel Jesus is not really giving them what they want, but they  have Raheem sterling now to help out on the front line attack, so I'm thinking it might either be a draw or a straight win for arsenal on that supper Sunday.

I still can't believe how this is happening right now. But it is.  Grin  As he couldn't reach an agreement with Al-Ahli, this was the only option left for him. Otherwise he was going to be left out of squad for certain.
Everything is possible, dude.  Grin
Al Ahli almost signed him but Napoli suddenly wants higher transfer fees. I can understand if Al Ahli decided to reject it, Napoli reneged on the negotiation. It burdens Al Ahli, Osimhen's value becomes too overprice. Another reason is about the high salary asked by Osimhen. Not sure why Osimhen becomes too greedy with the money, he may assume he deserves it.

Source: https://www.pulsesports.ng/football/story/napoli-disrespect-africa-reactions-trail-osimhens-exclusion-from-serie-a-squad-list-2024083111083164945

I really appreciate Galatasaray on this agreement. It is a very smart move. They were criticized because of not being active enough in the transfer market this summer. But now they are about to make a really huge signing...
Galatasaray probably monitored the situation of Osimhen. They may realize that Osimhen has no choice anymore, so Galatasaray is trying to sign him now. Napoli also seems to agree because there are no more teams to negotiate for Osimhen. However, I'm not sure if Osimhen is ready to accept low salary there. I guess Galatasaray should pay a lot for the salary of Osimhen. But if Osimhen can play well, it is not a problem for Galatasaray.



I think that with the coming season it is important for him to work not for his salary but for his playing practice and improving his skills, because maybe it will be difficult for him to come back from Turkish league to Europe. I don't think it's a good plan to go there on loan, but he really doesn't have any more options, so it's better that way than him not playing for a season at all
It will be the most foolish thing If Osimhen do not agree to the terms of Galatasaray, in this he has been placed with the best opportunity of taking him out of being idle and benched in a team where he was once the big bird. Osimhen did so much for Napoli, everyone saw his influence as the top striker for the team even scoring both unbelievable goals and at last being treated like one average player, I hope Lukaku becomes the better version of Osimhen or nothing will be different from what they did to Osimhen also happen to him.

Osimhen can still have a move to the Premier League or any other competitive one if only he can work on his ratings, once he becomes the topic of discussion based on his outstanding contribution to his new team then he can raise every possibility of having the option of moving to the Premier league.

Osimhen moving to Galatasaray was one thing I was not expecting to see from this player and Napoli. Osimhen was one of the best players on his team he had a good enough performance to help Napoli win the title in the past but he wanted to leave Napoli for teams like PSG and Chelsea but since his offers were not good enough he decided to stay and this made Napoli unhappy that's why Conte said he doesn't need Osimhen anymore.
Not it seems he joined Galatasaray and he is going to play here for loan.




The thing is, victor osimhen and Napoli had already had a fall out since before the end of last season, there was a crack in the wall between both parties before Conte came into the picture. Napoli had already blacklisted osimhen, so Conte was just only doing his job by letting the world know the position of the club on victor osimhen.
So because of the fracas osimhen has with, it was rumoured that the Napoli side scuttled his move for both PSG and the Saudi team that came, just in a bid to show their might, but allowed him for Chelsea deal that had wage cut and osimhen rejected that deal basically because of the pay cut.

So the Galatasaray deal is a bit fair compared to that of Chelsea even though it was still on a loan move, which a lot of people had argued that osimhen was big for a loan move, but however at least he'll be playing football again for the next 6 months instead of waiting and being out of play which Napoli wanted to place on him.
245  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is it morally right for bergers to gamble? on: September 04, 2024, 03:22:48 PM
I ask this question because in my city I've seen some bergers that gambles and I've often wondered why they do so. I know that people give bergers and destitutes money to eat and take care of their other basic needs like soap to bath and medicine Incase they don't feel well. And seeing them in lotto kiosks that are very rampant in the cities to bet makes me to wonder if it's not misplaced priorities for them.

I understand that most poor people are looking for shortcuts to riches and they see gambling as a get rich quick scheme. But most of them are ignorant of the house edge over gamblers and it means that winning is not easy.

I believe that bergers don't gamble for fun. So do you think that it's because they feel that they don't have anything to loose and somebody will still give them money if they lose? How will you feel if you see a berger that you just gave your hard earned money using it to gamble?
Of course i don't see anything wrong for the beggars not to gamble, at least if not for anything but for the change of his/her fortune, he cannot continue to be begging all his life, so if he gambles and he runs into luck and wins something handsomely, then he will definitely not be needing handouts from people before he eats, or gets anything that is of priority to him, so for me it's not misplaced priority, the only way i can frown at it is when the beggar becomes chronic gambler,  because i do not support that, I always advocate for a healthy gambling lifestyle.

246  Economy / Economics / Re: Rich and the poor who spend the most on luxury? on: September 04, 2024, 03:05:34 PM


As I was scrolling through my Facebook I saw this photo and how the image discribes the poor to be a kind of people that wears expensive thing to impress people to look like the rich, and the other way round, the rich appears to be simple probably not to be noticed as a rich person. My question now is that,

Does wearing of expensive cloths, shoes and other expensive things a sign of being poor? Or does it mean the rich doesn't wear expensive things or doesn't leave a luxurious lifestyle?
In the context of this photo you posted, it's just obvious that the poor guy just wants to appear rich, while the rich guy wants to appear simple without too much attention on him. However in a real life situation that is outside the context of this photo, rich people are the ones that are endowed into luxury, from the beautiful gardens in the castle they live as houses, to the kind of cars they drive, to scent of their environs are all in luxury.

There are rich and influential people that sometimes wants to appear simple by wearing simple clothes in the public, whereas there are also some rich persons that do come out to the public appearing very rich based on what they are wearing and the kind of car they are driving, it's just individual differences. So in answering your question OP, your physical appearance and how you look does not always represent how rich you are.

Yes, it will definitely reduce the price of fuel, inflation in the country  because Dangote will make sure he reduce the price of the market for the fuel to be surplus within the country for people to test the quality of their products, I discovered that Dangote has make the price of diesel to reduced since he started producing diesel, which is the fear of NNPC managements not to allow Dangote refinery to start producing fuel yet because they know that it will expose so many things in that NNPC, and many people in the NNPC managements will go to prison for the corruption in that sector, I believe the federal government will instruct NNPC to supply Dangote crude oil and also permit Dangote to distribute fuel to every part of the world, because without NNPC permit Dangote to distribute fuel, there is no way this refinery can be  a benefits to our country.
Don't even think about price reduction in the petroleum section, the NNPC are the one to give Dangote the price which he will sell the products. However as at today, there are news already circulating on the mainstream media that, NNPC has officially increased the price of PMS to 850 Naira per litre. also the capacity of Dangote refinery alone cannot supply enough PMS for the entire country, we still need both the port Harcourt refinery and that of warri to be fully functional before we can have surplus supplies within the country, else we will be battling price continuously with independent marketers because they are the one's that bring in this refined product to the country. Nobody will go to prison in NNPC because they are the cabals in charge of this current adminstration.

This is a pros and cons. On one hand, they understand that Man United's condition is very bad, because there are indeed various complex problems. but on the other hand, they appreciate how Ten Hag brought Man United to become the FA Cup champion last season. so, Man United still trusts Ten Hag.

There was something interesting he said in his inverter view, after Man United's defeat to Liverpool.

Source: Ten Hag and a reporter
If a Truth the issue around Manchester United isn't a regular one, there are some complexity that can be traced around it, somehow after seeing that game yesterday, I had this strong urge for Manchester United to literally embark on an overhauling of the  team because almost every aspect of the team was filled with so much of unorganized and patterns less play, the few good players are even flopping gradually because they have dwelled so long in an environment that isn't supportive of improvement greatly, it's very possible if some of these player's exit Manchester United they may do better out there. At the euros 2023 I could see manio doing so well but back now in Manchester United he's just liked to a floppy which shouldn't be at all.
I'm not surprised that Manchester United is still finding it hard to compete in the Premier League again this season. I know it is too early to judge Erik Ten Hag, but I think he is not good enough to continue as Manchester United's head coach, even though he won two trophies in his first two seasons at Manchester United. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired as Manchester United's head coach, Erik Ten Hag is the only manager who has lasted long as Manchester United's manager, and he signed the players he wanted, but yet no positive change has happened in Manchester United. Even though Manchester United management gives Erik Ten Hag huge funds to utilize in the transfer window, Erik Ten Hag will still not bring back the glory days to Manchester United because he keeps singing the players he worked with when he was Ajax's head coach.
I think Manchester United are still caught in the web of last season's struggles and coach Erik Ten Hag has not found the way out yet and this doesn't really tell good of the club's future because everybody thought the club would have navigated out the the stormy weather after participating so vigorously in the transfer market bringing in new players whom we thought were going to change the club's fortunes around for good. As it is right now, Manchester United have only played 3 games losing two already with just a win, so in my opinion I don't think they are ready to compete yet.
249  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell? on: September 03, 2024, 08:51:35 AM
You can buy bitcoins when the price of bitcoins goes down.
When bitcoins are dumping again after your investment you can buy bitcoins again.
When the Bitcoin market continues to dump after your second investment, you can re-invest i.e. buy.
But you will invest using the dollar cost averaging method before investing each time.  Remember you should never invest your investment in lump sum but invest in DCA method.

Let's look at a hypothetical in order to attempt to apply your proclamations @Nothingtodo.

If such hypothetical person is brand new to bitcoin (meaning he has absolutely no bitcoin but has heard about bitcoin an has decided that it would be good for him to put a plan into place to invest into bitcoin for 4-10 years or longer), and such guy is in his 20s and right now, he has $6k that is available for him to invest into bitcoin, and additionally, he has an income that is in the ballpark of $2,500 to $3,500 per month with expenses that tend to be in the ballpark of $2.6k to $3k per month.  

He anticipates that his disposable income situation (that is the difference between his income and his expenses) is going to allow him to invest a maximum per week of $100-$200 into bitcoin for the next 6-12 months and perhaps longer (as long as he doesn't lose his current income sources that are based on working)

This guy anticipates that he might be able to either increase his income in the coming year or so or cut some of his expenses, but he is not completely sure (he has not worked out all of the details), and over the past year or so, he had already been doing those kinds of increasing of income and cutting of expenses, and that is how he had been able to save the $6k that he currently considers himself to have available for bitcoin investing or any other way that he might consider to strengthen his current financial and psychological situation.

In the past few years, this guy has gotten himself into a kind of work that he anticipates that around 2-3 times per year he will be receiving some kind of bonus or extra cash of around $1k to $3k each time, yet he does not know in advance if he is going to receive such bonuses.  

At this time, the guy has around 1 month of extra cash already dedicated towards back up funds, so a kind of an emergency fund (which would be another $3k besides the already mentioned $6k).  The guy anticipates that if he is going to invest into something as volatile as bitcoin, then he should work on building his emergency fund to be in the ballpark of 3 months of his expenses and yet since he currently does not have any bitcoin, he realizes also that he could potentially grow his emergency fund (back up funds) at the same time that he is building his bitcoin investment.

What should such a guy do?

Should this guy DCA with the $6k that he has, buy on dip or some other thing(s)?

How much are should the guy allocate towards buying on dips, when dips may or may not happen?  And how much should he DCA?

You, @Nothingtodo, said that you were not going to do lump sum buying, but in this example, this guy is a no coiner, so wouldn't you consider that there might be some advantages to using some of the $6k towards lump summing or are you just considering to allocate that to buying on the dip and DCA.  If he does not DCA with any of it, then he projects that he still has between $100 to $200 per week that he is going to be able to buy BTC based on his current disposable income situation, as described above.

What should such a guy do?  or how should a guy in such a situation be advised to do?
For me, I think the young man should invest with what he has on ground, given the fact that, he already has 1 month extra cash already dedicated to his backup or his emergency funds with an additional $100-$200 disposable income, he can gradually grow his backup portfolio to an enviable height.  For the available $6k for investment, I would have loved for him to go on a lump sum, but considering the fact that he is a newbie and still at a very young age, he should DCA the entire $6k. If those bonus $1-$3 comes in, though he is not sure if it will be coming  in the future, but if those bonus eventually come, he can use part of it to increase his investment over time.

PSG won again and made it three for three in the league. It was their tough est game so far but they didn't struggle against Lille. After Vitinha scored from a penalty, Barcola also scored and they had a comfortable game. Lille reduced the difference through Zhegrova, but then their goal was disallowed and Kolo Muani had the last word. PSG look set for a comfortable title again this season, with Mbappe's departure not affecting them at all.
An excellent performance from the french giant PSG as they overwhelmed losc Lille 3-1 making it 3 wins in a row in french ligue1 this season, coach Luis Enrique has really helped this team a lot by changing the way they play for the better, prior to this time PSG find it difficult to face some of these big sides in the ligue1 but now they beat these teams with so much ease, it is so lovely to see how the PSG midfield combines so well with the forwards to crack the opponents defensive line up with those massive counter attacks that the home side couldn't resist but still went ahead to pull 1 back to get a consolation goal.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 02, 2024, 02:26:05 PM
Seria A clubs are fighting for the scudetto but they have to obtain pressure and consistency in winning games. Juventus vs AS Roma game, one of the pressing game to watch following the stellar performance from both teams, it's been really a horrendous game for both managers. Juventus headcoach, Thiago Motta just have to bend in for the amazing form of the Old lady's. Not an easy game probably hosting Daniele De Rossi at the Allianz Arena, Juventus epic performance was dormant following their 0-0 scores.
This season still has more time to continue to perform well for each team including Juventus and AS Roma because the draw in that match is not the end of everything this season so they must still be able to perform well in the next match in order to get full points with different opponents. Juventus and AS Roma are two teams that are equally good this season so they must still be considered as difficult opponents and can also be candidates for the title if the other team does not have great consistency in winning matches during this season.

The game was impressive from both teams actually despite none of them could force their way into the opposite net. Roma managed to block almost every line of passage, I applaud their defense, they played a perfect defensive game. Although Juventus were not technically accurate with their finishing but I will blame less since Roma were too defensive and Juventus were so relaxed to press and trouble the defense. I sensed improvement compare to what Juventus was playing last season and I believe the team will fall together as the league progress. They both deserve a point and they did.
I expected Juventus to win by a lone goal because I suspected Roma were going to play all defensive since they were up against probably one of Italy's best in top flight football. Juventus were very unlucky in front of goal or maybe their finishing wasn't as good as it should be but it seemed also that Roma didn't come to attack but rather spoil the party for the home side, they really frustrated Juve's chances in front of the goal mouth and made sure Juventus didn't find the back of the net, perhaps they came to share the points with the home side which I think is a good result for them and a good fight.

Mbappe managed to score 2 goals, while bringing Real Madrid to a 2-0 lead over Real Betis, Valverde provided an assist in a very beautiful way, another goal was scored through a penalty. Bellingham who was sitting in the stands looked very happy, there is no certainty when he will be able to play again. Leading 2-0 is enough to secure 3 points, Ancelotti seems to be telling his players to play more defensively, because the match time is also not long. Most likely Real Betis will not be able to make a surprise, so that the match becomes a draw. Ancelotti seems to have rotated players, pulling out Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos. In my opinion, Real Madrid no longer need to force to score many goals, they only need to maintain their advantage.
Mbappe really showed his class in this game, after previously failing to score in the first three La Liga matches, he immediately stepped on the gas by scoring two goals against Real Betis and becoming the hero of Real Madrid victory. Now Mbappe has started to register his name on the scoreboard, his goal tap has started to open, Ancelotti really hopes that the former PSG player can help the sharpness of Real Madrid front line which has had difficulty scoring goals in the last match. Bellingham was delighted to see his team return to winning ways after only managing two draws in their last three games, his presence was eagerly awaited by Real Madrid players and fans alike as his ability is believed to improve the quality of Real Madrid attack.
What a way to announce his arrival at real Madrid, it was classy show for Mbappé and his real Madrid team mates, though they didn't have a wonderful first half but they still went ahead to beat Real betis by 2 goals. I think this Real Madrid side are still trying to get their Rhythm back as they were last season, or even better though they are experiencing some glitches but it's normal for a team that have absorbed some new players into the fold and are experimenting to see where they may really fit in. I think they may have started their journey to success by beating betis and may continue progressing all the way which leaves everyone sceptical about this season's el classico, and how interesting it would be to have all those wonderful stars from Madrid and Barca on the same pitch.

With that awful display by the Red Devils against Liverpool in yesterday's game that ended 0-3 it only shows that Manchester United are not yet settled in the league no difference from last season and I think the team is getting worse, no positive vibes like the players are not serious, no play maker in the team, 3 games 1 win 2 defeat and the manager ETH is telling the fans that before the end of the season the club is getting a trophy to end the season with, to me I don't think it will happen with this form they are in at the moment. Nothing productive to say the club can win something this season but is it too early for the fans to say Erik ten Heg should be sacked or they need to give him time? Because he hasn't done anything new other than lose and give excuses so is it time for ETH to take bow? After all Manchester United are being managed by 2 coaches.
All I see is incompetence and inexperience being displayed by the Manchester United team as they got trashed by Liverpool yesterday at the old Trafford, it hasn't been up to five games and they have 2 losses already from 3 matches which means the team is not in good shape despite the fact that Manchester United already recruited some new players into the fold, the coach seemed not to know the right strategy to engage, the liverpool attack line were at their best yesterday as mohammed salah kept combining so well with his colleagues to overrun the Manchester United defenders and firing home the second goal to give his team a two goal advantage in the first half. It's is very obvious that the Manchester United Boss, Eric Ten Hag hasn't really fixed his side very well and may risk loosing his job before mid season if things do not turn out for the better at the old Trafford.

You guys are aware that in this space there are alot of ways scammers can scam someone of their hard earned money. I know that recently airdrops farming has been one of the big hit in our country lately due to telegram mini apps and stuff . Well to be honest I have also gain some nice amount of money from airdrop farming lately from both $Not and $Dogs and I thank God for everything.

This is especially for newbies in this space and some old members that haven't fully get the gist . One thing about farming airdrops is that not all are legit some are there to just scam you or waste your time . Alot of newbies are too lazy to run their own research that's why they always Fall as victims, (not only newbies though).

There's this telegram project name monorix that came a months back some of us here may have heard about it those guys scam alot of People through the paying of fees. Like after the mining has ended they fixed a fee for those that one to move   their token that they have farmed to monorix wallet ( the coin Wallet). And the fees varies it literally depends on the number of monorix token one accumulate so some folks even paid 3 to 7 tons, they lure people to believing that they are legit by listing their coin on bingx first and they started manipulating the market making the coin to increase after everything they end the project without paying anyone and they changed their names from monorix to cryptozon.

So please those of us that are farming airdrops should be careful of the way we use our hard earn money in them , I will even advice that we should avoid throwing your money into anyhow projects . So that you won't endup regretting it .
Omo the truth be say, if you no want make them scam you, you gats dey vigilant, do your own research on any airdrops way you no sure how truthful them dey, just as you talk OP, no be all airdrop get genuine intention, some na waste of time, anyone way you no fit verify their authenticity, just let am go. My telegram just dey filled with airdrops, so tey I no come know which one to follow up with, because of how many they are, na when I get time, I go critically do my research on each of the ones I go pick interest on.

There is something some people don't understand in cryptocurrency or bitcoin investment, before joining or investing their money to earn the same income like other people, if other people are using $100k to invest in cryptocurrency or bitcoin investment in a due season and you are using $20k to invest in the same season with them, do you think you can earn the same income with them when you sell in the same time? No, you need to ask some questions about their capital before you can earn what they are earning in the bull season. If you see them buying cryptocurrency or bitcoin in the bear season, join them to buy when you have the money but if you don't have the money, you can invest according to your capacity and you will earn income but you are not going to earn the same income with them, but the most important thing in cryptocurrency or bitcoin investment, make sure you invest in the right time with those you want to earn the same income with and you will get the same result with them.
You don't need to have a deep pocket before investing in bitcoin, if others are inviting From 100k and above and you have 20k, just invest the 20k you have, with time you can build your portfolio to an enviable height.  However you cannot earn the same percentage on interest with somebody that has a higher amount, that's impossible, because obviously their capital is higher than yours, same thing goes if the market turns around, those with high capital are to loose more, so even if you invest on the same time with those investors that are of high capital the big question is, are you investing with the same capital they are investing with, hence your not then don't expect to gain more than them.

Strange as it may sound, brazil now joins a group of selected dictatorships where X is banned: China, Rússia, Venezuela, north Korea..

Musk made memes of such supreme minister:





And starlink is now free for every brazilian citizen for now, while their bank accounts are frozen

Elon musk should try and do more to De-escalate the issue of Starlink in Brazil instead of making memes on his X handle. Issues like this will cause job losses for locals in Brazil, so the least he could do is to show a high level of professionalism as a chief executive officer of both X and Starlink, because I heard the Brazilian government has even gone as far as to place a fine on any Brazilian that uses VPN to bypass their local network to log into X because of this matter on ground, the Brazilian supreme court has shown seriousness, so should Elon musk also do.

The way people talk down on Jackson is just out of this world, the season is just getting started, I just believe he should be given more time, I hear Chelsea are vigorously looking for other frontliners before the end of the transfer window to help improve on what they have on ground, I believe with the combination of the new players that might come in things will certainly change. However I am hearing the likes of Jadon Sancho, victor osimhen and the rest of them might likely be joining The blues, because its obvious Raheem Sterling is off the hook with Enzo for now, so if those deals come out successful, there certainly will be enough players to rotate, but before then let's cut Nicolas Jackson so slack as the season is just getting started.
Here I agree about few things as we are having just start of the new season and things are looking pretty decent for the Chelsea with Maresca is doing good job in early games even we have few troubles for them but their strategy and depth is looking better, and we can expect them to have good end of their season Jackson is one of the important part of this squad, and we will be having good performance from him in coming matches because he is surely going to be at the top for the Chelsea.

Now we are having end of the Transfer window with all updates will be settled in few hours, and then we will have how teams are going to be had their squads most chances if we have Osimhen into Chelsea this could be more interesting even we are having reports Jadon Sancho is also coming so it's going to be one of the best squad which need to be had best results in coming matches just we have to check how coach will handle this.

Thank you for seeing things a little bit from my angle. The truth is that the season is just getting started and expectations are high and I know most of these disappointing statement on Jackson is because they haven't seen what they are expecting almost as immediately from the few games played so far, which is always the case from fans but however Jadon Sancho has already agreed on a deal to move to Chelsea, at least Fabrizio Romano posted something of that nature on his X handle affirming that move, victor osimhen on the other hand is not likely to come to Chelsea because agreement hasn't been reached, most person's are saying he is been offered a pay cut in Chelsea below what he is currently receiving in Napoli, which for me is a bad deal, so I'm not sure if Osimhen's coming will see the light of the day based on the agreement on ground.

I couldn't agree more with those gamblers saying that they gamble just for fun because the truth is that people gamble in the hope of multiplying their money. But from what we have witnessed and seeing the sentiment of the majority, we definitely see that they feel disappointed when losing. Which is not really the behavior of gamblers who just think about entertaining themselves. A real gambler never seeks winning but pleasure and fun.

Hearing the news that some people committed suicide and crimes can also prove that my statement is right. Maybe I'm wrong, but what I've seen is enough to say that gamblers are here for money, not for fun.

I also wanted to hear opinions from others.
I disagree with you OP, a real gambler gambles with the mentality of anything can happen as his bet can be 50/50. Gambling goes beyond entertainment, gambling is a serious business where people involve their hard end money to take profit and not just for fun. Of course there are a lot of gamblers that see gambling as fun where they can put in money without expecting much in return, but that percentage cannot be compared to the greater percentage of gamblers that see it as a business where they want to take a homongous amount of profit.

People can commit suicide for any reason at all, people can commit suicide after a heartbreak, people can commit suicide because of job loss and a whole lot, so it's not just about gambling that make people commit suicide, however it is always advised that as a gambler you maintain a healthy gambling lifestyle so you don't have all of this negativity thought come into you.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Hard to win against house edge in Aviator/Crash games on: August 30, 2024, 08:16:53 PM
A few weeks ago I told my brothers about Crash/Aviator games and after knowing about those games they decided to try those games and try to see if they get lucky or not. They played those crash/aviator games for a week and tried various strategies to see if they can win some money by betting on those games.

I told them that it's quite hard to win against the house edge especially in games like aviator/crash but one of my brother said that he's found the secret of those games and he'll show me that how he'll win against the house edge of the casinos. He made some profits in first day and laughed at me by saying "look I've made some profit from the crash game," I told him don't get deluded by that profit and withdraw your initial deposit plus the won amount, but he said he's going to win more and get rich by playing the game for many days.

He made some more profits with that money and was pretty excited that he'll make even more overtime, but suddenly he started losing money in the crash game but didn't said anything about the losses to me, over next few days he emptied his account and said that this time I was in hurry next time I'll win for sure.

After some days he deposited more money in belief that he'll recover his losses and make profit from the Crash game. I told him once again to be careful not to place high value bets but he didn't listen to me and used his own mind during bet placement and in a day he emptied his account once again. I told him to stop playing the game because you won't make any profit from it but you'll get addicted to it.

What do you guys think? Is it possible to win against the house edge of those crash/aviator games when your luck is exceptionally good or it's almost impossible to win against the house edge?
There are exceptionally days you can win significant money in aviator game, but the risk is way too high as you don't control the movement of the game and it can cut you short anything. The volatility in crash/ aviator games is high, that's why i only advised for people to just try their luck with any amount they can do away with and not put too much hope on it. OP your friend would have just walked away with the money he won, but that's the place greed had to take the a better part of him.

Ever since subsidy was removed from Nigeria  cost of goods has been going up on a daily basis, and the government are saying or doing nothing about it, country that has crude oil and other mineral resources will be going through serious inflation,as big as Nigeria not one single refinery is working,if refinery's are working actively in the country there are every possibility that cost of goods will drop down,God blessed Nigeria with almost every thing except one thing which is leadership which is the most primary thing in a countries, if the government of Nigeria can be able to bring back subsidy investors will starts investing in Nigeria, take a very good look at agents that owns bet shops, two years ago they were running their shops weekly with sum of#45000 or #50000,but as we speak to run a small bet shop today in Nigeria,every week will cost you not less than #195000 .And at the end of the day your devidenc will be smaller than your expenses which is not suppose so , Nigeria government should look this subsidy issues and do something about it before it gets out of hands.

Is not only bet shop that have had increase on operational cost, literally all business are experiencing this hike in Nigeria at the moment, what most business are doing now is to adjust to the new reality. Concerning fuel subsidy the Government is overwhelmed, it's looking like they don't have solution to issues affecting fuel subsidy, because in their confused state, they've decided to give out the Kaduna and warri refinery to private organization to run it, that tells you they are not having the capacity run it hence the privatization. However the major issues affecting business is the issue of energy, once there is enough supply of electricity, businesses can easily run on low operational cost.
