2501  Economy / Economics / Re: Methods to cut food costs on: July 12, 2023, 06:22:09 PM
It cannot be denied anymore that the price of food will continue to increase due to many factors, apart from the decreasing land for agriculture, another thing is the weather which is difficult to predict, in my country, which used to be the rainy season, but news of drought has occurred in many places, making it even more difficult for farmers.

Climate change is really affecting the way we use to know the weather and that is actually affecting planting season. The environment has changed and we are having late planting because you have to wait for the rain for quite a long time down to mid may and June before you begin to see more rain in July but in the past sometimes you begin to see the rain towards march ending gradually and April to May will be more severe rain fall. This change is having adverse effects on agriculture except those who do irrigation but that is still not sufficient for the country because more hands are needed to be involved in planting but because the rain is not sufficient, some people stay away from farming.

but if you don't want to gamble, then there is no need, as gambling is only intended for those who want to spend their money or try their luck to win big, but again, it is for entertainment purposes.

The games may be for entertainment purposes but the act to benefit those games you need to stake out some money that is what brings more interest in you. People see gamble not for only fun but to increase the money that they have and sometimes to show that they are on top on their game. For example I have witnessed friends when they are discussing football and having argument, when the argument is heated up and they want to ask someone else for confirmation on who is right, they decide to do P2P gambling and whoever is right after the confirmation wins the staked money. This is how some people show that they are on top of their game and this happens more often among fans of clubs. Some addict have taken it beyond that when they have argument to suggest to bet on who was right. So gambling is not really for entertainment purposes.
2503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How was your first experience with gambling? on: July 12, 2023, 03:17:52 PM
Gambling is a game that has an addictive effect. Most people who have joined gambling sites will find it difficult to get out of the gambling circle. It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble
This is where optimisms falls in, gamblers are always optimistic about gambling because they believe in a day they must make some certain winning without undermining how much they have spent and lost during their gambling exercise or activities.
Also this is another points where we can say they are addicted to it because it's very hard to back off from the game haven seen and calculated all their lost they find it very difficult to quit or reduce their attention from gambling.

Such optimism is the reason for daily unsuccessful outting in gambling exercise. Imagine losing a game and instantly rebooking another one and continuously until the player exhaust all that he has with him and perhaps borrow from neighbours. This is more prevalent with virtual soccer because the game is played immediately in your presence and within the shortest time of 5minutes, a whole game is finished and you check the scores there and then to see if you got some luck and if you don't, they go on another rebooking but if gamblers will take their time to evaluate the outting, he may decide to check in the next time thereby saving himself some of his money.
2504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: July 12, 2023, 02:01:51 PM

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?

Apart from the money involved that could make gamblers feel remorse or regret, I think for a gambler why you should feel that way is when you didn't follow your instinct and you bet contrary to what you want to bet maybe a friend caused you to change your mind in the middle of betting what is from your mind and at the end, it happened that you would have won the bet if you had followed your instinct and analysis.

You can also feel remorse when you have almost won the bet in few minutes there is a turn of event against your bet like if a good was scored against you in dying minutes of the game.

You can also feel that way if you eventually won the bet but you staked with very low amount, so you would be wishing you added more funds to your bet that would have increased your winning prize. On the other hand too, vice versa, you can feel that way if you took higher risk and lost the game.

I think majority of bettors regret when they have cash out to pick up but because have greed, they leave it in expectation of a bigger potential win but to no avail, they lose everything at the end when the cash out is gone and the bet is lost also. Many bettors have this remorse certainly  Grin

I`ve got about $800 per month using such predictions. For someone it is not bad income. And i think that it can become a job, if you`re ready to spend so much time for such results. It is real result, i tested it by myself. The problem was to understand some details, but after it i never got less than $700 monthly income. But i get higher income on my main job and have no so much time to use both these ways of income.

How often have you got that amount because what matters is how consistent it is that you get it. What I understand about prediction sites is that they are not regular in their winning for those who are average in their winning rate but many fall below average yet they still collect fees from subscribers. If you are regular in your winning rates it means you are making additional efforts from what you are getting from the site as prediction.
2506  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How real?That football players required to bribe before they are allowed to play on: July 12, 2023, 11:17:26 AM

Corruption in sports ends the dream of many players, this is unfortunate, but it is good to see that people are noticing this. Maybe it starts to change.

Voices are consistently increasing for the right thing to be done in Africa for sanity to be the driving force in anything that is worth doing. If the government will take away corruption away you will see more football talents shining like stars. Africa is very rich in gifted resources both human but to bring all in good purpose is the challenge. Cameroon has called herself out but almost all countries in Africa are in involved in this bribe mess.

But fortunately I was able to overcome my gambling so I didn't develop a serious gambling addiction. Even so, it was enough to make me lose the crypto coins I used. But that's okay because at that time, I used Dogecoin more than Bitcoin. Yes, getting Dogecoin via faucet is very fun because in a day, I can get a lot of Dogecoin.

I reminisce the time you were talking about when it was easy to acquire dogecoin from faucets. That should be in the time around 4-6 years ago but however, it is still considered a loss because you would have used enough quantity of dogecoin to stake in place of bitcoin. Moreover, dogecoin later got a bull run and the value went up. Sure that would have been some loss in your early days because having those dogecoin now means a lot.

It doesn't matter how much you lose at gambling, as long as we still have money, we will continue to gamble


It matters a lot how much we lose even if we have much money. If you are trying to profit from something and you don't see light at the end especially if it is luck based you can throw in the towel. In this case some people play gambling only for the main purpose of profit and not any feeling of fun, so those set of people won't continue at a point. I know much of such people who have stopped playing gamble because they didn't see any benefit from it after feeling that they can use it as source of income. Therefore, giving up is possible despite how much we have.

The chance to get kane is bigger compared with osimhen. Bayern may ready to increase its budget even higher compared with the last offer.

Harry Kane has said he doesn't want to stay in Tottenham Hotspur this summer. I think he realize that age is no longer in his side about clocking 30 years with no trophy. His contract should official expire by next year but he wants to make a fast move either to Bayern or Manchester city. I think Daniel Levy should allow him to go , he has given part of his youth playing days to Tottenham so going to a club where he can celebrate trophy with team mates is a good idea for him.

I have heard a lot of people say and believe that "if your product or service is good,  it would sell itself". That's not entirely true.  


This is not to be taken by its face meaning. This means if you have good products then you have made the marketing job easy. That is at a point even your initial customers will be the ones to introduce other customers to the products by testifying to the benefit of the product. A bad product usually takes much publicity and at the end the company may still fold up.


It is only agricultural produce that don't need marketing because it is part of our basic needs.

Agricultural products still need marketing. It has layers of marketing for agricultural products. The local way and that of formal marketing.

The local way is done in the market where the products are advertised even though it is done without the radio station, television or media. For example, when you go see women in the market staking corn, they display unequal numbers of corn to customers. Some present much more higher number of corn for the same price with the number to attract customers, that is adverts and marketing strategy. Corn is not the only commodity on that scenario but all other farm products.

For the former agricultural sectors, there are agricultural companies that deal on processed foods, juice and beverages, they also market such agricultural products.


2511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers understood the game on: July 11, 2023, 09:28:07 PM
A true gambler understand the risk involved in gambling be it crypto casino gambling site, in as much as they knew is gambling they knows the risk involved meaning you won't go extra mile telling them things associated unlike newbie investor whom you have to give all Manner of guidelines for them to understand things associated with the investment.
Gamblers adhere to rules and are directed by principles for the purpose to minimize their loss percentage and ensure that their profits outweigh their losses. Gamblers make important choices on a regular basis, and gains and losses have become a routine function for them in the system; in fact, they are becoming accustomed to it as the day passes. Gamblers explicitly looking to the guidance of those who have already accumulated enough expertise in the gaming system, they know the risks and calculated gains associated in practically all of their games.


Gambling is one area that even novice understand what is in it. One, that it involves the use of money and two, that you can lose your money once you stake and in fact the chances of recovering your money is very limited. So with this while gambling, the idea of losing is already taking care of that is why those who lose easily wake away from it faster than most business people who lose. The understanding about the loses involved in gambling is clear to small or big player.

Whichever way they try to push the ball, the WH is most secured, to break the security going in with such substance is suspicious. Cameras are not taking out from the WH so they should go check who it dropped from  Grin or the visitors tried to play fast one on the securities in WH.
2513  Economy / Gambling / Re: Whats happening with Betnomi? on: July 11, 2023, 07:51:19 PM
I guarantee if they do come back, all will be forgotten and people will carry on playing there. Their feedback isn't affected. Not even a flag. This forum has had a problem with scam sites for a long time.

If they get back and resolve all the issues that have been complained about them including releasing customer's money, I think that should settle the whole stuff and it will build back confidence and trust but if they don't do that to the fullest satisfaction of complaints then it will not speak positive on them and will discourage bettors playing with them.

.
Will you feel envious? Ok with it? or motivated?


Not at all. I don't have to feel envious or sad. I have to take it that way because I understand gambling is about being lucky to win. Lottery games are strictly luck base even though some people still feel it is manipulated by government officials who are assigned to handle it. People believe those who win lotteries are from the families of those who manage it or there friends.

So I will still feel cool and not motivated. I could go on playing with the pace that I am playing with and wait for my luck

I have not used Bounty Board so I am not used to the bounty hunt. But question be sae if Bounty Hunting is not something that people will not take you serious, why people still dey do am, though you said , it is not a bad thing but the reputation of the person nai e no go dey like other forum users. Knowledge is needed in all areas and not only on bounty Huntinng but also other boards in the forum. When the person post out  of point from the main thread then moderators use to delete such posts.

The thing wey make that bounty side be say no competition for that side like e be for this bitcoin side which is the foundation of this forum. That bounty side too full of scam and some managers no send self na to collect their own pepper from developers or the team wey bring the project and whether the project exit without paying bounty hunter no be their concern. Back then self some team go use their hand run bounty after you do their work finish dem go waka, so that place no be serious minded people dey there and there knowledge on top btc dey low.

Well if you never experienced wetin I dey talk e mean say your old man hold money scatter because na only them wey no fit experience am. People wey their old man no hold money understand wetin I dey talk because e dey very frustrating to see say as woman them come carry ur mantle of leadership give ur junior 6sta or brodas onto say your face no show and ur shoe no shine for the house.


Wetin we go understand be say parenting na big work itself. Parents suppose to balance things wey no balance to the level wey them fit. No be until parents hold scatter be the thing and no be just because one child hold and the other no hold be the the wey dey make their eyes or love shift enter for one person side, parents na human being so just like you go see someone and get natural likeness for the person side, na so kwa wey parents go take like one wey be say even if that one no dey do well, dem go dey pray or dey wish say na that one wey dem love inside their inner mind get dat pepper. Abi you never also see where na you hold cash and dey do things but dem still dey carry glory give another child. This life no balance my brother that's why I been say parents go try balance things. Although we all understand the power of money and wetin money fit do, the family matter dey everywhere but some worse though.

Notably this inefficiency may be traced down to the structures left behind as a  result of colonialism which is not an African concept.
  

It shouldn't matter anymore if those concepts are African's or not what matters is how Africa has been able to move away from those concepts they met. To a larger extent Africa has not done much to move out and present to the world the natural sweet flavour from Africa. If you looking at other third world countries, they are now in strong competition with technological countries because they have got the purpose of leadership. Ghana got independence in 1957, Nigeria in 1960 , these countries are 67 and 63 years old respectively but they have not done much for themselves. Malaysia had independence in 1957 and Singapore in 1965 but you can't compare both economics in terms of export and exportation speaks volume about where the country is moving its economy to.

I found the first two posts to both be thought provoking, thank you. I was raised very religious with church & church school every Sunday.

This is kind of funny to know. You asked a question so you don't expect response that you want to hear  Grin. The forum is filled with people of diverse religion, opinions and different in every other thing you can think of are viewed in different ways. So take it cool, you will see people responding the way you want it. Religion is the shaping value for the way people reason just like you were brought up in church and Christian way, of course heaven is real and Christians want to spend eternity in heaven but some Christians too don't believe that so open your mind but hold on to what you believe.
2519  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Is justice really blind? on: July 11, 2023, 01:22:39 PM

Double Jeopardy is a legal concept that states that a criminal defendant can not face persecution for the same offense. But the concept of double jeopardy has some exemptions and is interpreted differently in most countries. The accused can be tried twice if the crime was committed in different states and or the case is brought before another court that is higher or different from the one that gave the first judgment.

I think what analysis you are making about double jeopardy and the facts plus the jurisdiction of the crime is totally different. If you kill different people at different times of course you can be prosecuted for them after you have served a jail term for one and you commit the act of another person. But in the instant analogy of the op as represented in his post, he is referring to one and only person whom the accuse was sentenced and served a jail term. I believe if the offender goes to another state, he won't be tried for that same person he killed initially since he has been punished in the first place or first court.

I know believe say that issue of duplicate posting na only here wey e happen. The thing be say we suppose know say something dey wrong for forum network then, wey make that thing dey happen because people no dey sure say deir post dey delivered but na commonsense to know how to go about it.

The thing na to dey patient and go back to recheck for your message whether you go see am for there, make we dey patient in certain things make we no bring our throat out by ourselves.

And incase we see duplicate messages there, na to delete them and leave one instead of leaving everything there. As a full member we should know these things at least. For example self, when you send email, you go fit still check if e don go or not if you are in doubt.
