Liverpool able to score 7 goals against Manchester United, does Liverpool can able to score at least 4 goals to Real Madrid?
Real madrid has even made 5 goals against liverpool in anfield and does it make sense to see real madrid to lose with zero goal against liverpool?
Madrid is in very big advantages over liverpool. I don't even think liverpool will able to beat madrid even with zero score for madrid. Madrid is too strong for liverpool. Liverpool needs an only miracle to make it happen.
it's a hard task for Liverpool because the match will happen on Real Madrid's home. I think Liverpool can able to beat Real Madrid, but I don't think they will qualify to the next round since the aggregate points is really big with 3 goals difference. Real Madrid's defenders are better than Manchester United, so I believe Liverpool will not score a lot goals.
It's an impossible task to make it happen. If were are using our logic and does it make sense for liverpool to win when it will play away? It's very hard for liverpool to be qualified for the next round. I think that liverpool has no chance to make it anymore.
Football is all about making the impossible possible, real Madrid supposedly are the greatest team in the champions league and have proven their dominance in the league, but this second leg return between the champions and Liverpool is going to be thrilling match to watch especially when Liverpool just had a record breaking inspirational win over inform Manchester united. Liverpool will be going into this at least with their confidence already boosted over their massive victory although Madrid has the upper hand after winning the first leg and are currently playing from home but I feel an impossible feat can still be done by the Liverpool boys.
2462  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: An honest answer on mining with solar on: March 07, 2023, 04:30:55 AM
Someone ask this question on Nigerians local board, the reason why miners are not located or negligibly located in Nigeria as a result of poor electricity supply. In Nigeria, electricity supply is poor in many areas and the only option anyone that want to mine can have is to use solar energy.

Assuming you get yourself like one or two Antminer S19 Pro, powering it with solar, will it be profitable after considering the budget and maintenance?

Those miners and solar panels are not manufactured in Nigeria, they are probably manufactured in China which will make them costly as they will be shipped.
Others are saying it might "probably not be profitable", but in this case I am saying it's not going to be profitable. As a Nigerian weighing the circumstances surrounding self power generation in the country is very expensive even for an owner of a small scale business not to talk of mining equipments that are very expensive to afford in addition to the solar panels too.  The country is highly import reliance country which means even when it comes to maintenance every parts would have to be imported.
There are many other unfavourable environmental factors to look at too that I think are only peculiar to we Nigerians alone and I believe that's why almost every Nigerian prefer buying bitcoin and hold instead of going into mining cause the profit is not feasible.
Yeah I think that's the best thing to do in Nigeria here, I mean just as you stated above even if one considers to go into mining in our country Nigeria here the disadvantages of so many factors are included and not only because of the electricity shortage, the average nigerian earn a little portion of what is needed to run a mining farm and to start it is not even the issue, the maintainance and keeping the farm working is really the major factor so I feel just purchasing your bitcoin and holding as an advance investor is probably the best option and definitely won't cause you all the stress and expenses of running a mining farm here in Nigeria which I believe its possibility is even about 45% out of 100%.

I'm not very positive about Chelsea against Dortmund tomorrow. Because they are still dealing with the same problems. The most important problem is with scoring goals comfortably these days. They had a big difficulty in the Leeds game because of that for example. After having a game like this it is difficult to believe in Chelsea to eliminate Dortmund as a result.

Dortmund are having an amazing period unlike Chelsea. They are still on a lasting winning streak now and they should be more motivated than Chelsea in this. I think Dortmund have a significant chance to advance.
For me, I know Chelsea are already out of the champions league because it would take absolutely wonders for the blues to pull an escape tomorrow because their opponent Dortmund are just phenomenon is terms of their gameplay and performance currently in the German league and also in the champions league as well. Dortmund are already one step into the round of 8 and Graham Potter with Chelsea needs to just be extra special to pull an escape tomorrow. They won their last game but even at that win it was still clear Chelsea are struggling because the three points earn from Leeds was still under serious struggle and I would even call a lucky win.

The punishment that was given to Sam Bankman Fried isn't good enough, why?  Because SBF has destroyed the lives of so many people and most of them have lost their lives because of his terrible act.
For the supreme court to verdict, SBF to jail for 115 isn't good enough because, after 115 years in jail, he might come out and commit another crime.
C'mon bro 115 years isn't good enough? Well for me I think that verdict really cuts it but that's if actually he will stay that long in prison because everyone knows how the system works, it won't even be a surprise if he can manipulate his way out of the sentence. But I know one thing that is for sure, no one can actually serve such long jail sentence and still come with such mindset of defrauding others. For starters the prison is an environment for correction of ill character and behaviors for humans, its no longer called a prison in my region the government had to change the name to a correctional center for restricted individuals.

If you made a billion dollars or even more, as someone who love gambling/betting and have been doing this on several other casinos for many years now, would you rather start your own casino?
Or would you prefer to keep gambling, doing your sports betting on other casinos even when you know you have more than enough money to start your own casinos and make the casino as big as you want it to be??

Inputs are greatly appreciated.
Well that's depends totally on the type of gambler involved, I mean I have heard some friend who actually won large but later squandered the money, with the feeling that its kinda a free money. And there is also the possibility of you increasing your betting stake and at this particular moments gambling just seem so enjoyable that the person actually have the urge to feel that excitement he experience during his massive winning

Nope, there are much easier ways to earn a living  Grin
I donno know about everyone else but with my definition of earning a living, I think for someone to a make a living from gambling will be very hard but notwithstanding I have heard stories of some folks who claim they are actually earning and living their life through gambling. But for me I think its very hard to earning a living through gambling if not impossible because the foundation of gambling itself is base on how lucky one can be, so tell me how often do you think or feel someone can get lucky to be actually earning through gambling.

It's just embarrassing. I honestly did not see this coming. I expected it to be a close game of long term fierce rivals but it turned out to be like a training match for Liverpool. Manchester United were awful. How can you be 1-0 down to your fiercest rivals and your laughing at halftime. That was a hall of Fame performance in terms of awful performance. Unbelievable! Ten Hag too was clueless.
Sure he was, Ten Hag was indeed clueless and I didn't see anything he could have done any different tio avoid the way the goals where coming. Liverpool just punished them with every mistake they made, every counter attack, literally every attempt towards goal produced a goal. Very disappointing for Manchester United and now one could have anticipated that. I mean, it would have been more easier to predict a Manchester United win over Liverpool but the opposite was the case and even worst still was the goal margin. 6 goals in second half, that's hilarious for Manchester United. Everything about them in contest for the trophy would be done now.
Am really disappointed in Manchester united performance, I mean they did not only loose this game, they lost in a very horrifying way, I mean they just looked like confused babies in the pitch not knowing where to go or what to do and to think that this the same Manchester united that removed Barcelona in the Europa league. Ten Haag really needs to straighten up his boys ahead of their Europa league against against another Spanish side (real betis) because this lose they acquired today will really affect their performance.
2469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambler has 100% trust in each stake on: March 04, 2023, 08:29:59 PM
It's not always 100% on every bet because there will definitely be other considerations that will make us want to make sure that our bets can give us a win. It will be 100% if we find the opposing team is completely unable to fight the team we choose but that usually rarely happens, especially if the match has already started. Everything can change in the middle of a match so our predictions which were originally 100%, could change so we have to be prepared for that.
Its not rational to give a bet or an odd you want to stake a 100% confidence, especially when its sport betting like soccer game. Even the least team with the poorest of form on a good day can FCK up a big team with their giant odd given to them, I have seen a lot of cases where a team with small odd win a very good team and I have also been a victim of such outcome. For me I will say it's imperative that a gambler always know that no odd is a hundred 100 % sure prediction.

Arsenal has proven to be serious title contender Thi season, coming from 2nill to win the game by 2:3 is a big surprise and a good attribute of a champion. Is good they're really serious of the title this season, I would be delighted if Arsenal wins the title then seeing Manchester city winning it again.but the league I still open to the teams in top four. Arsenal must not drop any point again. Because Manchester city is closing the gap
Arsenal have really made my day today, I thought I have already lost my bet which I predicted arsenal to secure the win and i was expecting them to win by a landslide but no matter how the match played out they still performed and delivered like the way champions do by coming back from a massive two goals down and securing the victory in a late action drama. Arsenal have really stamp their name of this year premiere league title and I think Manchester city will be loosing out to arsenal on this year title race because arsenal are looking really prepared and strong enough.
2471  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I started accepting Bitcoin at my store in September 2021, here's an update. on: March 04, 2023, 01:14:08 PM
Hello all, I wanted to give an update about my hardware store.

I started accepting Bitcoin payments in september 2021 and it has been a very nice journey learning about this wonderful invention. I recently invested in a ColdCard mk4 to keep my funds safe (using it fully airgapped). It really made me understand how Bitcoin works, I learnt that cryptography is literally what holds Bitcoin together, which I find awesome.

I've built up a pretty nice amount of Bitcoin over time and I have never spent any of it (except when purchasing my coldcard). I know for a fact that one day Bitcoin will be worth so much more, cryptography is the future. I'll HODL until the day I die.

It's pretty nice too because customers who know about and pay with Bitcoin at my store tend to come back when they need to purchase something and pay with Bitcoin.

So yeah, this was my little update, thanks for listening to my ramble Cheesy, I'm out.
I.must confess, your story is quite convincing but I also remember it doesn't remove anything from you, for you to at least show the community some proofs when presenting a thread like this. I mean what you are doing is just increasing some users thought about the authenticity of your story and write up and I guess no one  is to be blame if they actually feel you lying about your story. I mean anybody who is good in thinking and structuring of lie could simply cook up a story like this and share it to the community in other to achieve so many goals which I believe such terms is classified as spamming in the forum. Bro if I were I would just make the thread and story a little bit realistic and maybe add up one or two images or proof to back up my claims.

Liverpool and Manchester United is a match that is really worth waiting for.
Both are still in very good condition with good momentum. but looking at the current odds, I actually think Liverpool's advantage is only at Anfield this time because looking at the odds, it's not much different.
Even though Liverpool are still slightly favored, I think being at Manchester United now with 2.80 is still very tempting.


Liverpool is not in good form as much as Manchester United is. Liverpool is not favoured because they are in a better form. It is maybe because of the intimidation that is always found in the Anfield by the Liverpool fans.
But Erik ten Hag has released a statement saying that we have same football anywhere and the same measurement of field, so there is nothing to fear about the football. As I read that statement by Manchester United, I became confident that Manchester United boys will approach the song with confidence.
I think this game is going to be a match worth watching and this match has certainly never disappointed and would love to see same flare and goals in the same exact fixture like the way others has delivered goals. Manchester united are in a form of their life but Liverpool certain have a chill pill for them at anfield, although Its known that Liverpool have struggling this season but I think they can still win Manchester united just like the way Lazio Roma surprised the informed Napoli yesterday at their own home.

I don’t understand what the grudge is. But if you refuse to help your friends or family today, how are you different from them?

This is exactly my thought, why hate on them or feel grudges, it's better to prove to them that you are a better person that them, because you portraying any bad thought towards your friends due to the past event or experience you had makes you exactly like the people you are despising, so I think letting go makes you a better man and human being. And congratulations on how achievements bro

Arsenal will welcome Bournemouth to the Emirates tomorrow afternoon hoping to make it four Premier League victories on the bounce. I think Arsenal are the favorite in this fixture. They’ll do everything to score and win this game to extend the gap on the table to 8points. They are relentless and, the way Arsenal  are playing, you have to fancy them strongly to win this one too. Bournemouth are not really in form and don’t look like they’re fighting to keep up. I predict a 3:0 win for Arsenal.
On a normal thought its okay to call this game a walk in the park but with all what football is about, I think no match is an easy win especially in the premiere league where wonders always happen. I agree Bournemouth are in a very bad form but one thing everyone will agree is that its takes only a single match for a team to pick up from their bad form. Arsenal must be very clearful not to think that their game against Bournemouth is an easy win because the game of soccer is full of wonderful surprises and if they don't want to be a victim of surprise, they should play every game as if its a final because its certainly is for them.

Mean why, sure say this thread suppose even dey here @Igebotz, abi you for live am for meta make them foreigners carry am dey see how we dey do???
The pool I created says this is the best place to be since it is a monthly statistics of our local board and secondly it has no general forum statistics so it was a good decision to move it here.



I hope you don't see the merit monthly awards as a competition, but rather as a way to improve the board.
Well I guess you can call it an extra motive or incentive for the drive to work hard, it is imperative that we all strive hard to grow our local board and such  reward stipulated here in the local board makes everyone want to strive and contribute in the local board. So far the Nigerian board has been quite active and it can be partially attributed to this monthly reward in the local board. The rate at which all users striving to participated in the local board  is good and makes the board stand out even if its still at the early stage.
2477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 02, 2023, 10:24:41 PM
An unexpected defeat for Real Madrid, but in fact the score is not critical and everything will be decided in the second leg. The only thing that surprised me today is how Barcelona can play the bus - Real Madrid seems to have zero shots on target in the entire game. An interesting result, but keep in mind that both teams did not show all the trump cards in preparation for the head-to-head confrontation in La Liga.
Football is a really strange and funny game, who would have taught that the Spanish goal machine would finish a game without even a single shot on target. Barcelona really outdid their self in tonight fixture, but its just the first leg and maybe real can bounce back from this defeat today in their second leg match up in the lali laga. Barcelona convincingly held the one - nil head since from the first half which I expected them loose it but they very brilliant in stopping those Madrid playes from finding the net.
2478  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: March 02, 2023, 09:39:36 PM
I think Barcelona have no other choice in these circumstances and have to make the most of the players they have and Real Madrid they will be very superior in terms of players.

In terms of players and home advantage which is obvious. If Barcelona got Lewandowski in their lineup then they might have a shot but with their current lineup is just not enough to win. If they can pull a 2-1 lost or keep it draw on the 1st leg then they might have a shot on the 2nd leg though but Real Madrid will definitely pressure them starting from the 1st half whistle



The game of football is funny and the result in the game after first half is really a good one for Barcelona team which most people predicted not to win the match because of the absent of their star man Lewandoski. The only shot on target has come from the Barcelona side and they have managed to win 0:1 in the first half I believe they will end up winning the game if Real Madrid do not put much pressure on them. With the performance of Barcelona in the first half they may end up winning the game 1:2 which is the opposite of what you predicted.
For me am kinda tired of soccer, the more you feel a team is going to win a match that's when it just keep getting harder and harder for the proposed team. With the match is going now I never actually expected Barcelona to win this match but its seem my predictions have gone sideways again but although there is hope but I don't see Barcelona given in to the pressure. Real Madrid might end up drawing the match but that's still a maybe situation as Barcelona are looking solid in their defence. With the current position of the match I don't see any equalizer but you can never be too sure as its very clear it's football, I mean anything can happen

Why do people go into gambling?
I asked this question here because I can't get the answer.
However, in my observation, I found out that most people go into gambling because they think that's the easiest way to make big money.
Please is it true?
I could only imagine thousand of reasons why people do gamble, but if am being specific to myself, it would be the reason of adding extra cash to any cash am currently holding in my hands and sometimes when am kinda bored too, I do gamble my spare cash to just enticed myself in having that feeling of always winning, I mean the act just makes me feel alive but sometimes it does make one feel dead too  Grin especially when you have experience a big loss that can affect emotionally.
2480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 01, 2023, 10:49:28 PM
Arsenal and Liverpool both won their match which is totally logic Based on the ods, arsenal didn't let any chance for Everton and they perfectly got their revenge after the first match, with this win they extended the gap to 5 points and this will give them more confidence to continue their trip to the trophy
I think all lesson were learned from their leg encounter with Everton and arsenal really came prepared into the games having knowing that they are very close to securing their first English premier league title for so many years now. As for Liverpool, its nice not seeing them disappoint in today's game because I have honestly lost faith in Liverpool performance in winning matches, it just like the whole team in the league are now familiar with their game style and now know how to tackle them but today's performance was quite different and the most important thing is that they secured the vital three points.
