261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake loses $615k bet on Joshua-Ngannou bout on: March 09, 2024, 07:28:46 PM
Drake thought Francis Ngannou would win but Anthony Joshua knocked out Ngannou in the second round of the match of the heavyweight showdown in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Drake lost $615000.

https://www.thecable.ng/drake-loses-615k-bet-on-joshua-ngannous-bout/amp?/drake-loses-615k-bet-on-joshua-ngannous-bout

Why is Drake always having the fever of loss? With this recent loss, I have come to a conclusion that anytime Drake bet on anything, I will do the opposite of what he played because he always loss. Somebody should advice him with the way he's playing, he seems addicted and the addiction is not yielding any good results publicly except if u had other games he bets and don't show them to the public but who knows if that one's has been losses too.

However, can we take some minutes to review how this game ended? That game looks stage, the knockout was too obvious and Ngannou wasn't protecting his face from most of the KO tackles that was coming from AJ, what does he get from this if he couldn't win Anthony Joshua and and Tyson Fury, I'm not seeing the use of his body huge, maybe he should try another career. Sad

Well, the first half came with Arsenal dominating the match and scoring a goal, until the goalie, Aaron allowed Wissa close him down to cause a goal. Am sure the second half would have more goals because this first half result is very unacceptable if they intend to win the premier league this season.
The knows they shouldn't loose this match and hoping the coach, Arteta makes the right changes so the can win this match.

Ramsdale has put Arsenal in difficult position again after the first lead Arsenal had, I didn't expected that too happened so quick, he should have let go of the ball immediately but Wissa saw the advantage as a good attacker. In this match, he is the only player that has been pushing Arsenal to the wall, even from the rating he is currently the highest and I think they are going to give him man of the match if these game end up as draw but I hope it doesn't because that's going to the be the end of Arsenal journey with the trophy.

The second half look tough but I never expect Brentford to be solid this way, Arsenal are pushing with all their last energy to secure another goal but Brentford aren't letting them in and if they don't bank on it right now, they might never had the chance again because it's the way Arsenal is playing offensive and defensive games they are also playing which look like equal performance to me.

Yes, I would think so too. Mbappe had left some shoes that Osimhen could be able to fill in quite comfortably. And perhaps, his skills would be more pronounced playing for PSG than it would playing in any club in the premier league.
He could very well be touted as the new prince of France if such a move takes place later on.

Osimhen and Mbape has something in common, they are both love by their respective teams when they helped them achieved a lot in the club and when they noticed that their taste was about to change, they improved their love for them and increase the weekly wages and just after that when a mistake happened, they turned against. They did that to Mbape before the season start when Messi and Neymar left and now he seems fed up and he is ready to live for Real Madrid by the end of the season.

Osimhen in similar problem right now, he has signed an awful contract to 2026 but now the spirit is not longer to stay even though it is obvious that he is trying his best to satisfy the club, but I know that he is scoring theses goals so as to have a better offer comes the end of the season to another fantastic club where he can rest and do more for them.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decentralized vs Centralized Gambling....Which do you prefer? on: March 08, 2024, 07:22:09 PM
Thanks to the inception of smart contracts, we can now enjoy decentralized gambling in a provably fair way. I've used a few gambling dApps in the past, and the experience was great. Except now that dApps charge high gas fees (on ETH) due to increased network congestion. But with L2 scaling solutions and alternative chains, this should no longer be a problem.

Do you think decentralized gambling dApps will eventually replace their centralized counterparts? If not, why? Which do you prefer? Centralized or decentralized gambling? Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Smiley

When you said alternative chain, do you know that it's going to be extra task for the casino if they want to implement different blockchains. By demand, low fees chain include Tron, Matic or polygon, Binance smart chain bsc, and if they want to add Lightening Network, it's going to require extra work. This might bring some transparency in gambling but it will yield small customers as it's not everyone that will be ready to pay these fees, some people pledge cent in wager to win good amount, it will be like a burden to them.

I also think that decentralized gambling platforms are going to be slow for games like blackjack and slot, you have to execute a transaction in real time before you wager that money unlike where it is done in database with centralized casino. If there is a way that it will be smooth and easy, we will have plenty of them by now but even in this forum, 90% of gambling platforms here are all centralized.

Leverkusen could not play as well as expected in the first match. The opponent is not a strong team, they are struggling, but we can say that the players' skills are not very high. Actually, Milan also plays very interesting football. I wouldn't be surprised if we watch them in the final, both the players are talented and the European matches are very valuable for them.
Liverpool will not make mistakes in the next match either, I do not think they will want to take risks Smiley

I don't know why everyone has high expectations Leverkusen forgetting that they are not the only best team in these tournament. We have Liverpool who is currently in number 1 place in Premier League which is consider as one of the tough leagues in the world, we have Sporting CP from Portuguese League, we hve Milan and Benfica even though they are not in the first place but they are among the top on their leagues. This is going to be competitive than anyone would expect.

I just think Liverpool aren't supposed to be here though, these guys killed Sparta Prague like they were having a dinner and to think that was there away match, what will now happen if they play them in Andfield, 5 goals is too much to concede in the first round of knockout stage, there is not coming back from this because they have already qualified now.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 08, 2024, 06:46:24 PM
Foden is the best player at Manchester City and is also often relied on by Manchester City in every match so there is no mistake if he is placed in the striker position even though he can also be quite suitable in the midfield. Currently Manchester City is still a quite competitive team in chasing Liverpool who are at the top of the Premier League. So the best players at Manchester City must continue to be utilized well by their own coach when there is one player who cannot contribute more to the team.

Foden has been a good equipment for Manchester City since De Bruyne exit to injury, he has picked form to beckme one of the best attacking midfield that I feel like if he is given number 9 places, he is going to perform even better than Haaland but I know a lot people will say otherwise and says I'm capping but that's the honest truth, he is very strong and has not gone to injury this week season and he is 18 goals this season, even Julian Alvarez is behind him with goals.

If we are talking about one of the most completed team, then I give it to Manchester City but I am confident that luck is going to shine upon us very soon, if we win Brentford this week, there is high tendency of winning City in the next match and that will make Arsenal unbeaten in law the last 9 matches and shift to second place in the table.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you avoid some games because of racism? on: March 08, 2024, 06:35:06 PM
Especially on sports betting we see some racism happening and this happened in most of the league that are popular of which so many persons bet on. It bothers me to ask, that imagine you placed a bet and somehow you have 80% assurance that it would come out successful. And on the process of waiting for the game to end there was some racism manipulation in the game which made you lost the game. It could be football or other sports cause its mostly found in sports.

Next time would you choose to not bet on a particular game because you feel the members of the VAR, or the referee are racist, and you are sure that there would be some manipulation?

Last week match of Real Madrid and Valencia to be precise experienced a lot of racism, this is not the first time this always happened anytime Vinicious is present in those games but he always humble them with goals which he did but did the game ended well? No. The officiating teams did a bad job in the last goal Bellingham scored, worst officiating I have seen so far and this is why I don't bet on games they called Derby and El classic to save my self from different embracement.

Sports that involve racism is are easy to predicts by some players actually, you just look at what you think is impossible and then stake on that. If you see two hot teams are having a match or games, just bet on them that the match will not end as draw, the aggressiveness in those games will make you win but in spite of this, I hope racism end forever, we are bringing hateful altitude of 80s to 20s and that is very bad.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 07, 2024, 09:56:56 PM
You are indeed following the transformation going on with Napoli. They have shown huge difference in their attacking as well as the midfield in their last two matches. Winning Juventus was a nice proof that the can still achieve great result this season and a good test of their courage. Their new matches are very tough and demanding except that against Torino tomorrow which I think they will win with little stress. After this match they will be facing Inter Milan followed by Atalanta, two teams that are also in their best form. It will be interesting to see how Napoli will be able to navigate through.


If Napoli effort has come sooner, it would have been better but to me, what they are doing now is like trying to move a truck that has been abandoned in the forest but some how it has been brought back to life but some things had been damaged in the truck. That's the only scenario I can picture from this their performance because despite all of these, they are right below Atlanta in number 7 places on the table. Their dream of next year Champions League is buried for now maybe next year.

How many points are they away from Torino that makes you think Napoli are better than Torino, the Atlanta team are even ahead of them in the table which means that if Napoli want to be consider a place in the Europa League, they need to have atleast 3 wins to make that place which after they have to continue to win their games otherwise they are not going for any important league than Seria A next season.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?

I manage my gambling progress through the money I deposited as bankroll, if the money has doubled before the half of the month then that means I'm doing pretty well in gambling. When I check and I didn't see much money than they bankroll, it's a signal for me that I'm not doing and I should either adjust or just hold on and look at some games I have played from my play history and if there is no profit after 2 weeks, I will quit immediately and see where I want to adjust we and review my games and style.

Sometimes I track my progress and look at some games I hve won back in the past. This works for me sometimea that I do revet that kind of game because casino might have forget those games you and if you are lucky, you will win a ticket for sijc game but it doesn't really has to be the way it was selected from the first game that was won.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 07, 2024, 09:23:01 PM
Madrid won narrowly but i dont think it was a mistake because after all the goal of Madrid is just to qualify not to win very big so regardless of the score the important thing is that they qualify it is a very good situation.

Although sometimes this makes it doubtful whether or not Madrid will be able to continue to compete, I don't think it will be a problem because after all, to be a champion you dont need to be a club that always wins with a big score every time because the most important thing is that they qualify and continue to eliminate the opponents they face.

When the match started, Real Madrid was playing offensive and defensive game which was good mechanism but goals where not coming, no short on target on time but as soon as they switched immediately to offensive style, they scored a goal by Vinicious but they made a mistake by not moving back to offensive-defensive game and that's why it was quick for Leipzig to equalized that goal in just 2 minutes and Real Madrid went back defensive after 70 minutes match for the time left in that match.

I d Real Madrid had the opportunity to scored many goals, they gladly use the opportunity, they will used it because sincerely, that match was below average, not what I expected from Real Madrid in the Champions but since they are out of the group of knockout to Quarter final, then I wish them success and how to beat Manchester City when they later meet in the Quarter final.

Do you guys think that Aston Villa will be able to recover after the lack cluster performance that they had a little while ago?

What I understand is that the coach is really good and he has done really well to bring any great results. But when you don't have the best squad, you are only going to be able to do so much before you start having problems. But I still think they are performing pretty well. And they have shown great improvements. Even if they can finish in the top four, ahead of Tottenham, it is still going to be a big achievement for them in my opinion.

Aston Villa should be more careful of Tottenham taking their place than worry much on finishing first, mostly likely they can't finish first place unless the top 3 teams experience worst performance but is that even possible right now? I don't think so. Arsenal is 6 points away from them which means they need to make atleast 3 wins in a row or even more before they can over take Arsenal but you will agree with me that Tottenham are yet to play their 27th match that was postponed.

If Aston Villa really continued the way they started the season, the only team that would probably be competing with them will only be Liverpool because they have so far lose only 2 games. The best Aston Villa can do right now is they don't lose any matches from henceforth else they risk sleeping in the 5th place which is going to be automatic qualifications to Europa League instead of the Champions League.

Two Brighton supporters were stabbed in Rome last night ahead of tonight's Europa League round of 16 first leg tie against Roma.

Rumors says they were away supporters, and the showoff was immense. I feel there is a need that if a Fan goes on a vacation to watch a game in a foreign country. They should be security conscious, observant and stay out of unnecessary banters that could lead them to troubles or death. It a game for fun and merriment not something we should take too personally to heart to cause trouble.

There is more to this story that was covered up by the media. It's either there has been some beef between the supporters or the fans and things got out of hand. I mean two people were stabbed and the culprit wasn't caught by anything. If the game happens in the stadium, then there should be something like cctv camera somewhere around the stadium that must have capture the moment and whoever did this need to be brought to justice unless they want this to always happen often in stadiums.

It's so sad now that football that has been an entertaining for many years, racism and abuse has not stopped. This happens many times that Fifa always says nothing and be printing flags everywhere on Jersey of players for no to racism and yet this measures are not working. They should use some fans as scape goat but I forgot that they will lose revenue and that's their main target. Undecided

What do u think would be the Impact of Crypto world if  Satoshi Nakamoto is Alive and come out on Public ?
would we have a strong Bear market ?!


If Satoshi comes online, it's going to spark a lot controversies and I think US will be focus on finding out who is real Satoshi than the investigations they are doing right now. I don't think Satoshi would want to compromise Bitcoin with too much talk and will appear with his means of identification. He might be around us or even in the Forum and nobody will ever know, that's the advantage you get been a private person due to good privacy.

Quote
Some of these addresses especially the genesis address, hold more than the 50 BTC mining reward as some Bitcoin users occasionally send BTC to addresses belonging to Satoshi as a tribute.

As in January of 2024 an unknown user sent 26.9 BTC valued at about $1.2 million at the time of the transaction, to the address Satoshi used to receive the first ever Bitcoin block reward. This transaction brought the holdings of the genesis address to almost 100 BTC.

If Satoshi was going to move this wallet, he would have done so since. What I need you to know is that, these wallet you see that people are wasting time on waiting for Satoshi to move these Bitcoins from their respective address might remain there forever. Satoshi might have another Bitcoin in his wallet sitting somewhere in even the latest segwit and nobody will know nothing, he create Bitcoin which is censorship resistance and freedom, he should know better how to move his wealth in Bitcoin without anyone knowing. So relax.
274  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving don't make wealth on: March 03, 2024, 08:18:44 PM
Sincerely the concept of savings has made some persons poor,but many won't realize the fact that saving don't make the difference but investing does.
 Am not saying saving isn't good, but my point is saving doesn't make one wealthy, the worst advice we recieve is  'save for tomorrow' but only few lay emphasis on the need to 'invest for tomorrow'.
So I would greatly say we invest some of our profits from bitcoin in to other stuff, than just holding it or using it for pleasure. The rare truth is how we believe bitcoin can change the game, so other systems are developing so we shouldn't be blindfolded.

The concept of saving is just bad especially in the traditional finance level, it's a system that don't let you progress but it enrich the people at the apex level.

Though, I must admit that you need savings like for emergency needs such as hospital bills, house bills, education, this money are not money you must invest, they are money you keep aside for sorting out things when the time is right. Investing this money is like taking a risk that will might hunt you later because emergency funds are not to be used for investment.

However, if you are saving money because you don't want use the money and you keep it in the banks, then that means you don't know what inflation is about, you don't understand the monetary policy and you don't know how the banks operate and how they used your saved money to make more money whole you get nothing because the interest rate for savings are too little and not worthy. It's better to invest.

What are the limits of Bitcoin’s rise... and is it a strong and consistent rise... and what are the most prominent implications of this rise and its most prominent results?

Bitcoin price can go any amount, it doesn't has limit as it's not confined in any form but there is big implications as to how it's been move. Take a look at Bitcoin growth in the 2018 bull run, Bitcoin was quick to touch 20k but it didn't last long or even a month before it crashed and that was because the price was quick move, there was nothing like accumulation, just spike and wait there for a while and then it dump. Anytime Bitcoin price pump and it doesn't accumulate and consolidate enough, people will always assume that level is fake and manipulated and it will be quick to crash.

Our problem with people chanting that Bitcoin will do these and that, even if we reach a new all time high# majority of people wouldn't be able to see there because they wouldn't know we have topped already, they will be calling for another higher price meanwhile the top is in and what they think is retrace is actually dumping to a good global support.

As a woman she is, I clearly understood that they are attracted to pleasures especially on activities that attracts public attentions. These species of humans (women) fails to understand that it is money that afford those pleasury materials and activities they craves for which one has to utilize himself logically in economical situations so as to create financial balanced system before chasing after those financial consuming activities without the potentials of yielding incomes.

I hope that your wife is your best friend right? I am not married but one day when I am ready to settle down and take all responsibility as a man, I will marry my best friend and I hope you have done the same because best friend understands each other more than they have misunderstandings. If she knows you have an investment, she ought to be understandable enough your reasons on not providing flashy lifestyle that she wants, she need to know the value of investment. However, if she fail to understand your intentions after all the talk, I don't think these is going to be the only misunderstanding you guys will have, there are many more that might come later, so be prepared for whom you marry as wife.

I just think that since you have your money on investment like Bitcoin, you shouldn't have proceed to marriage when you know such things will bring problems, you know the kind of woman you marry, you know better and see better than most of us here that are dropping our one cents and opinions.
277  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Coin suspension on: March 02, 2024, 08:52:59 PM
What happens when a coin is suspended? How long does it take for binance to release from suspension? Especially from conversion.

I think a lot of people that were quick to reply didn't get what OP is trying to ask. He is asking suspension from conversion. What I observed about Binance is that when they add something there must be a reason for it and when they suspended something, there is a reason for that as well. If Binance add coin for conversion, it's because there is demand for such coin and if they later remove it, then it means they don't see demand and are not making money from it again. So OP, I hope I answered your question.

Binance don't suspend coins but when there is upgrade, they suspend deposit and perhaps withdrawals. They don't stop the trading in spot but they may suspend the future trading of that coin but they don't suspend any coin. If there is a reason for any suspicious move, they can only halt deposit.
278  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading Or Investing which one is better to focus on right now? on: March 02, 2024, 08:37:36 PM
We all know that We are in the bull run or bull market as they say and Bitcoin has reached its previous ATH and most traders don't know what will be the next move for BTC and some of these Altcoins are literally following the pump of BTC as well, as most are not genuinely pumping in their own accord.

So now, what do y'all do? As for me, I just invested in some coins I believe that will surge in few months while I observe what the market is doing.

I want to know what guys do. Are some of you trading the market regardless or some of you are like me, investing and observing the market

If you understand trading, you will make money as well during this bull run while trading. Why I will recommend holding is that a lot of people don't understand trading that much but a lot of them think because it's easy to see green everwhere, they want to trade but by the time it shows them the real side of trading, they run away from it and by then, the lost will be inevitable.

Hold the coins you have bought but don't be greedy when you have enough profits to exit, there is no forever holdings here because if you think and believe that coins are going to go up forever, then you're on a long thing, you will be surprised how fast it's for coins to dump and hard for it to pump. If they are even Altcoins, ones they are done pumping and crash, it's always difficult to go up again until another bull run comes or if the coin get listed in big exchanges like Binance where you can see spike candles which are very fast to dump again, so you have to be smart here.

do i need to an expert in trading before someone will be successful.

There are many ways you can make your capital blow big but the question is, do you even know how to trade? Do you know how to follow the trend, do you know how to use technical and fundamental analysis on trading. If you do and it's the money that you lack, here is what you should do:

Margin trading: In this type of trading, with your small capital the exchange will borrow you money to trade any coin of your choice but the leverage is not more than 10x, this means you can get upto 10x of your capital so you can use it for trading but as a new trader into margin, the max they give is usually just 3x just to protect you from liquidation. You need to understand that liquidation is unavoidable if you don't know how to trade properly and make use of risk management.

Future trading: This one is like margin but different, you can use any leverage upto 25x to trade where contracts bind two traders of opposite opinion of shots and long. If you believe that a coin will go up, you will long on that position and then the exchange will bind you with another trader that think the coin will go down but don't forget it's very risky because liquidation can make you lose everything if your margin reduces.

I might have advice you to try these options but as a friend, I will advice you to make money and face spot trading, it's the only trading that is less riskier. The rest I mentioned above are highly risky and you can lose everything if you don't understand trading.

What worse case scenario given then fact I have only 14$ on this wallet and of course not intend to deposit anymore funds to that wallet

You probably have mistakenly exposed your wallet seed phrase somewhere. The way seed phrase is structured, it can't be broken by anyone, not even a hacker can break the special functions it was pass through to create you a seed of 12-24 special words. It's either you didn't back it up well in safe place or you did back it up properly but you didn't keep it in a safe place and another person has seen it and was fast to send it out to another wallet destination.

What you should do next time, if you want a safe and secure wallet, you should use a hardware wallet. It's more secure and safe than the software wallet. Unless you exposed your seed phrase to anyone, it can't be compromise because your keys are actually not connected to the internet. But, it doesn't mean you should misplaced it anywhere unsafe or in unsafe hands, if they know your pin, your coins will be wipe off. Stay guarded next time.
