Am I the only one also thinking that if I ever win, they will not give my winnings? I know it's a kind of trust issue, but still, that is mostly coming to my mind when going to the lottery and even to an online gambling website, but still, I continue to bet, lol. From every angle, we see that person would win the case even though the database has been wiped out because the result of it was public no matter what they say. Still, the problem is that if they give some money(the lottery) to the judge(possibly the other side will win) or they will win,  what I am scared of is that due to technical difficulties, the judge will declare that he won the case, but the issue is that the lottery will only give half of the amount.

Except it occurs in a nation where the law is not effectively implemented! Looking at this case, it occurred in Nigeria, and because the player did not have enough money to sue the gambling house, he may lose the case since the judge may be easily influenced by money by gambling owners, but if it is a country where nonsense is not tolerated, trust me, they will pay that money, as well as other damages and for lying that the games were not recorded on their database. As far as I'm concerned, this case will likely finish with the player being compensated and accepting the loss, sometimes we are deceived because of our limited strength.
You may have your reasons subjective to yourself which probably might necessitate your diction but in a global setting as this I'll appreciate you give some regards to your nationality, it wasn't necessary mentioning name for no country is law perfected and corrupt free.
Nigeria is not the only country with corrupt judiciary or leaders. We are a great nation with great people.

Why would they take your big money but refuses to pay big winning?
What could be done to curb this cheating permanently in gambling?
There a some gambling sites that are new in the business and don't have the financial wherewithall to pay a heavy and huge winning due to their infancy in the business only hoping that accumulation could be gotten from gamblers losses to meet up in building their financial strength but it becomes u fortunate for them when a huge win is what they experience as against what their plans were. This could be one reason why certain gambling sites shy away from paying him get amounts but rather elope or form one excuses.

Another could be that it was fraud intended from the start of it, and they probably might go at loss should they payout such huge amount so they resort to extinction of such site.

My advise is that gamblers should try get knowledge of the history of certain gambling site they engaged with and their reputation in the past years, etc.
It will really keep you away from such ugly experience. For we app know how painful losing money to gambling , and then the joy of winning after many loss and someone is trying to deny you of it.
It's really painful.

Instagram announced that in the near future, they will allow digital creators to mint and sell non-fungible tokens (NFTs) directly from the social media platform. The image-focused app recently launched its Digital Collectibles feature in 100 countries, allowing users to connect to their digital wallets and showcase NFTs that they either created or bought.

Could this be described as another convenient way for Instagram-cryptocurrency traders to have a multi_choice of trading exchange means. And even as that, for me it kind of cumbersome for users in terms of the processes that might be involved based in the idea of tightening security of the social app as it now concerns financial not just social activities but crypto exchanges.
With loads of questions running my mind about this initiative from meta, but I have to apply some breaks for now not until the system is tested and functioning beyond doubt.
What are your thoughts?
2664  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 08, 2022, 08:10:37 AM
I am just curious about the pool, why are only 5 clubs in Europe (Italy, Portugal, Germany, Spain, and England) will play in the final? is impossible for a club from South America to make all finals? Maybe that looks impossible when we calculate the power from each country like Brazil, Argentine, Uruguay, or Mexico which is not convincing to maybe for the next round semifinal of final, but sometimes the country which doesn't count will make the surprise at the end of the match.

A lot of users have already pointed out this. Just ignore the polls, as all of us know that the finals in all probability will be played between Brazil and Argentina. None of the European teams are in good form at this point, although Spain seems to be marginally better when compared to others such as Germany, England, France, Belgium and Netherlands. And we should also remember that UEFA teams have historically performed poorly when the tournament was held outside the European continent.
The world cup is one crucial and unpredictable competition that cup winner can't just be predicted based on bias or what the eyes are just seeing. The intriguing divergence that comes with it's result to that of our expectations is always unimaginable. History can relate.

Speaking of Brazil, what really buttressed the Brazilian coach decision of excluding firmino in his 26 man squad whereas Gabriel martinelli is statistically no where reach firmino but yet is filled in the squad.
Like how??

Well, OP, you've outdone yourself. Six months have passed since the advice of Henri Cartier led you to understand that the bounty company will not give you anything. You have succeeded in creating one thread about how to still get merit on the forum. You did a good job; you understood the theory.
What can you tell us in practice?
Do I understand correctly that you are waiting for the next “Henri Cartier,”  who will again reward you with merits and motivate you to develop? Smiley
Even Henri Cartier will agree with you that this is just coming at an expired time frame and in a way that seems fishy.

OP good a thing you are no more on bounty hunting so if you're original in your perspective now, then start putting the Henri Cartier advise to practice and am sure you will eventually thank yourself for it.

2668  Economy / Speculation / BTC, more closer bullish days ahead. on: November 03, 2022, 01:32:21 PM
The recent tremendous bullish momentum BTC experienced has really given many persons some relieve, cause the strength it gained at about $20600 above was something we didn't look out for within the very week it did, based on how the previous months has been nothing short of a rough epileptic and boring time for BTC price ranging around $19,000 which drastically affect many other coins values especially when it hitted $17,600 sometime ago.

Analysing the BTC price some days ago on the daily chart in reconciliation to the bull momentum it enjoyed within the past few days and still fluctuating around $20300 and $20600 the past few days, for many persons, the impression of buying long wouldn't be a bad idea as BTC value could hit at $22,400 presumably above by January or February  2023 based on personal speculations.
What do you think? Do you also see the BTC  promising price future am seeing irrespective of the great role volatility  plays in the market, and shouldn't be undermined as price can go south at any seconds or am I just the only one seeing it.

The most interesting group at the moment. I bet that Tottenham and Sporting will win and advance to the playoffs. About Tottenham I'm sure because I don't think Conte can fail that much, but about Sporting I think so because they play at home and Eintracht is not such a strong team that you can't beat them.
True! This is the most interesting group today. You can be right about Tottenham, I think there dont losing today. But Marseille is a good team, I sea them play against Frankfurt, but Eintracht Frankfurt was better in that win 2:1 at home. Sporting vs Frankfurt is a coinflip today, both teams on the same level and so far very little risk in both games.

The table has completely changed. Sporting is topping the table now followed by Marseille and Tottenham is at number 3 now. It is so sad if this happens to Conte and his boys.
Marseille 1:0 Tottenham HT
Sporting CP 1:0 Eintracht Frankfurt HT
Only what Tottenham needs is just a draw and it will be a big shame if Tottenham doesn't get a draw from Marseille.
Olympic Marseille don't have joy in this game at all, and with the 1 goal leading the have ceased in the HT of the game am sure they are going to defend that one goal to the end of the second half. Conte side Tottenham ain't going to do much in changing anything in the next half of the game as they have not really made some convincible chances in the first half like a team that understand what's at stake should they fail to even go back home with just a draw tonight.
Europa league awaits them.

^ Yeah some things you just don't touch, I actually didn't know about Barca's history h2h when I backed them the first game, just as you never back Everton vs Liverpool (the only h2h that comes to mind) no matter the value.

And I'm hoping Napoli's mini hoodoo against English teams continue tonight. To be fair, I don't mind and might even prefer Liverpool finishing second so we can meet a group winner at next stage as if I'm honest, I think we actually do better against big teams in our current form.

I won't be backing any of the other giants already out (looking at you Ajax, Atletico and Juve!).
With the struggling form of Liverpool FC there's no chance of them winning Napoli in the scores required for them to top the group tonight. Cause the current form of Napoli in that group is one next to known and am pretty convince that Victor O. will definitely lead Napoli to humiliating Liverpool at antfield tonight.

In other words, Liverpool can't top Napoli!!!

David de Gea was the hero of Manchester United's victory, throughout the match and also in the final minutes of added time he was able to fend off West Ham's attacks.
and Manchester United's only goal from Rashford's header in the 38th minute saw him win and also take full points and currently fifth in the table, actually I was expecting a goal from Ronaldo. For some reason lately he has been struggling to score goals but he didn't succeed and he always missed several chances and also his shots were easily caught by the opposing goalkeeper in every match.
David de Gea  really showed high level of performance tonight at the goal post, the header save around the 70th minutes  was what surprised me when I felt it was already  in, and another improvement I observed was that of Harry Maguire compared to his recent games, and should he improve more on it United won't be getting worried at his start in any match.

Looking outside the box it could be noticed that it's not just the effect crypto mining is posing on the climate that is the root concern as it is claimed but the inability yet by government to regulate and make a centrality of cryptocurrency is just the area of concern. Else there are many technological operations and inventories that are inimical to the climate and just crypto mining, so what extend have they gone thoroughly to end or bring a way out from these other inventions except from the crypto ban they're focusing on.

With this kind of article, It had to be Bloomberg. Not surprised, they are always negative about Bitcoin and crypto in general.

What will the industry look like in 10 years in terms of regulation and KYC?
I think we are already seeing the signs.

Remember the old days when there were not stablecoins and one has to determine trading pair prices in sats?
And then came the centralized stablecoins and before we know it there will be CBCDs in most crypto exchanges.

The problem is that masses tend to trust centralized and custodial services where they have to sign up and avoid being responsible with their own money. It why custodial services like Coinbase and blockchain wallet are so popular among new users and noncustodial wallets like Electrum less popular. Some people just don't want to go an extra mile.
@sukmo you really hit a point here, this days people are running away from responsibility and are rather comfortable with other person's being saddle with such responsibility while they just sit at bar and watch. And with such case regulatory tendencies now emerge from those taking up the responsibility against those shying away from going the extra mile.
There's always a cost to pay for every decision

I'm looking forward to the big game in Group C between Barcelona and Bayern Munich, because it's definitely an important game for Barcelona. As for Bayern Munich, the final result of the match will have no effect on them because it is certain that they will appear in the knockout phase.
I disagree with you mate on this, cause should Bayern lose on this very game to Barcelona then they probably be giving inter Milan a hedge over them in the group, as  inter may win Viktoria plzen and move to 10 points up and go ahead to find a win or draw with Barcelona in their next game and this may threaten Bayern Munich position of finishing first in the group.

Looks like the elephant that everybody has been asking on how it got up the tree is soon coming down. As expected after Arsenal failing to secure maximum points against Southampton after taking an early lead could have just left the door open. With the afternoon result Arsenal might have just given hope to Manchester city and other clubs to close in on them and any points dropped means they will be trading places and gravity will do its thing  Roll Eyes
Every defeat or draw a team receives, then it gives the other team an opportunity to get closer to them. Yes it happened to Arsenal, the 1 point they got gave Manchester City an opportunity to immediately take over the place that now belongs to Arsenal. Honestly, I didn't think that they would be caught by Southampton, but it really happened and Arsenal had to swallow it.

It is expected that Arsenal will drop points as the going gets tough buy I didn't expect Southampton to be the team that will make them drop points. This should not be the beginning of their troubles.


This English Premier League of the season is looking so wonderful.
The money that Newcastle spent before the season is not in vain. I am happy and proud to announce to you that Newcastle United is already at the top 4 of the English Premier League as of today. It is a very nice fit achieved by them. First half they are leading Tottenham with 2 goals congratulations to Newcastle United for reaching the top 4
I was thinking same thing, you know it gives you Joy when your money is well spent and actually giving you the expected results. Newscastle United made Manchester United swear themselves out for a draw and today they hitting totenham with a winning that many never saw it coming today. Arab money  is really making a difference!

WATER FOLLOW RUN AWAY FROM ME EYE'S THIS DAY TOO, MAKE THE SOULS OF THOSE FALLEN HERO'S REST IN THE BLESSED MEMORY
  Today make am completely 2 years already.
Na di onli day I cried without cane. Dat day was really sad 4 me. Dat is why I always said dat di problem we have in 9ja na di arm forces and di court. Wen States governors plus federal government do dat, human rights activists carry di mata go court, till date I never hear anything wey di court judgement outcome. Di day wen 9ja go beta na d day wen we citizens nd di gvt go practice di real democracy. Do u kno day when dis #endsars protest was going on, di northern youth was supporting di government. Dat is why sometimes I dey tink if dis country divide sef me I go happy. Because anoda wahala we dey face 4 dis country na di northern youth.  I Kno sae some pipo wey protest 4 d endsars still dey prison. Early dis year, won of the endsars protesters gave birth in prison. Dat means, there r lot of them in di prisons.
God will release Dem dis month nd 4 dose day had died, may God received ur souls. 😭😭 Our past heroes must be remembered
  Ifa remember dis day e dey comot sleep for ma eye. Dat day nai I no say we govment no kia for dem citizens. I no forget wia I watch wen pesin hold flag, soja still shoot am.
 Na God go judge all we leaders wey dey hapi to hide the video of wetin hapin for lekki toll gate and if we Kno wetin good for us, make we all come out vote out dis pipo.
The truth for this matter be say those people wey the government favor them be it youths or elderly them no see anything wrong with the system and administration at the top. And this na one of the major problem wey we NAIJA the face, cos when something wey bad happen and if it favour Mr B. Then Mr B, go support am irrespective of how much the tin d kill and destroy majority or the whole nation. The only time Mr B, go join hand with others the condemn am na wen d bad tins no dey favour am again.

If not imagine the height of killings massacre of youths and destruction of citizens lives and properties and curtailing of all means of development for youths wey this current government dey do, yet many youths, fathers and mother's still d support strongly, why na becos d government favour them pocket and family and as such make other the lament and die nothing concerned them.

The truth be say Nigerians generally na the most wicked humans on planet earth, na only when only wen death don reach them turn to die too them go dey ask for sympathy but for others it's nothing to them.

Investing in cryptocurrency is a threat on itself for taking an extreme risk, but choosing bitcoin for an investment is part of the rescue means you have, many have lost their assets into waste due to wrong investment made on altcoins without the first discovery of bitcoin and now they must have learnt their own lesson but in a hard way, we must not also follow such trail all because of fast profits, what we will start within a short period to yield us big amounts will not last at all, let's all have a sound beginning with bitcoin and avoid fear of what the future maybe with altcoins.
I do agree with you that for anyone that's investing in cryptocurrency is taking a risk irrespective of the coin involved only that coin's like Bitcoin gives an improve and reliable security to your invested asset.
But looking at it on the other way round, alt coins despite how unreliable it is said to be has created some wealth to many out there although I won't advise anyone to go into it cause much persons have rather received the negative end of it. One thing I noticed is that it's mostly those with little cash to start with are the people that are more dominant in alt coin investment.

Napoli's match against Ajax is far more dramatic than Atlético de Madrid's match against Bruges. I don't know what the boys from Madrid are hoping for, but with a game like this they definitely won't make it out of the group. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bruges win the game again. I don't understand how Atletico managed to get into last place, because they don't have the strongest teams in the group.
At the end of all games last night it's clear that the two Spanish league club's Atleti'co Madrid and Barcelona are eventually relegating to the Europa league, their performances have been below expectation and that's what you get when you fail to do well in the UCL group.

If care is not taking the big boys in Europa league will definitely kick them off still cause they can't just come and take dominance

Nice to see Chelsea playing like this, the coach is really trying his best with the confidence his is building in the team. Chelsea have played three  matches on a row without conceived any goal that means teams the team defenders are doing great job. Seeing Chelsea ending the game in  2 - 0 was a surprise thing to me because ACM is not a small club, infact currently they are in form. I can see now that Chelsea is really ready  to fight for this champions league
I previously thought that changing coaches at Chelsea would not have much effect. but it turns out I was wrong. because since Graham Pottee came to coach Chelsea, Chelsea changed completely. even chelsea's game and performance now is very good. and twice beat Milan is an achievement that deserves thumbs up. because it is true that Milan is a strong team. but with the victory chelsea proved that Chelsea became stronger now under coach Graham Potter.
Graham Potter has brought fresh air to Chelsea performance in the Champions League because since the change of coach, Chelsea has shown an increasingly good performance in the domestic league and champions league. The victory over AC Milan also lifted Chelsea ranking as the leader of the standings in Group E.

in the group H. Maccabi Haifa appeared surprising by being able to beat the Serie A giants Juventus at the Sammy Ofer stadium where the hosts were able to silence Massimiliano Allegri squad 2-0 which made the Juventus coaching chair hotter after this defeat.
Yes, it's indeed a breath of fresh air that Graham has brought to Chelsea and making Todd not regret signing the ex Brighton coach on. No doubt his pattern has given the blues hope that they can stand a chance to enter the round of 16 but what's most important is can he lead them to lifting the trophy like Tuchel did is the question.
Potter is no where near lifting the UCL like Tuchel did, well appreciated he has brought some fragrance to Chelsea pattern of play in the UCL group stage, but it's just a group stage with less expected rivals, and there are much harder opponents to meet at the round of 16 going forward, all we can expect is Potter making sure Chelsea goes beyond the round of 16 and that would suffice many.

Away from that. Last night in the UCL there were many unexpected draws and tonight the game between Barcelona and inter Milan  is one I perceive to end in draw. Barcelona may only try based on home advantage but am sure inter knows what they stand to gain with just going back home with a draw. So for sure its going to be a tough game tonight.
