I think the first thread is still fresh and running with contributions already, although you have added the voting side to it but from the first thread we are already seeing that Mark Zuckerberg is topping the list of probable winner majorly because of his younger age and strength which is assumed to be an advantage. Also he is a white belt in jiu jitsu, so enough has been deliberated to the advantage of mark.
2682  Economy / Economics / Ruto Calls for a new financial architecture on: June 26, 2023, 04:19:16 PM
So at the New Global Financing Pact in French, president William Ruto of Kenya was afterwards hosted by Macron (France president), Ruto was asking and suggesting for a global financial transaction regime where the procede would be in the care of a new financial organisation different from IMF, World Bank or any other financial institution but a brand new financial architecture of equals where power and governance is not in the hands of few people. I have miss the video but I'm sure the outcome of the submit is in the public space likewise the videos of them.

My question therefore is, with the call of Ruto, do you think IMF and World Bank as the global financial institutions have not performed very well in Africa economy to support in different ways or why do you think he is making that call ?

I get what you want to point out here in what you're saying, most people in this day and age that if you know a secret recipe in a business and you know it's popular with people too, you won't share your secret for sure.
Now, if you really know something that can lift a living person you don't need to form a group just for this matter. Maybe it's okay to do that if you don't ask for anything in return for that matter, but if there is something in return just think about it and that's questionable to me actually.

This is exactly the point because I have seen people who do giveaway to some people without asking for anything in return or creating a group online for the purpose of making additional gains for that which they are claiming to have been successful of, that is simply a means of exploitation. And really if someone is selling a signal, he is not making enough from that which he is claiming to be master of. Moreover there are several prediction sites online and they don't charge users but only makes there gains from the traffic they generate from visiting there site and adverts on the site which is better of than outright selling of signal on group.
2684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 26, 2023, 12:52:07 PM

There are legit groups but I they're  be overshadowed by the fake ones.

When it comes to soccer as regards to such legit groups, they hardly give out three correct winning games constant and daily. So most times they can share one winning game and it is not out daily. Therefore, rate of there winning is not constant and not anywhere near 85%. Moreover, giving out just one game is not enough because majority of bettors are those who don't have huge pocket to take big financial risk to stake on just 1.30 odd (on A level teams like Madrid, Barcelona or PSG, Manchester city) for example because some of those "sure" games that those groups share out are already predicted winning games around the betting space, so a bettor need at least reasonable winning games like 3 different games to play for a reasonable potential winning. So you see it will become a thing of running around the circle

3. Esports betting
Esports betting is the fastest segment of sports betting because it’s the fastest growing. It feels like every year there’s an eSports league in development.

Of course eSports is also part of the gambling Al that has been encrypted in video games for more relaxed games and for bettors pleasure.


.
Like horse racing, eSports matches take place every day and close to 24 hours a day. Unlike horse racing, animals aren’t involved, which means there is no cruelty aspect to Esports.

Usually, I think programmers have found love in horses and from inception have made races for horse competition but I know dog race also exist. And maybe I have not seen other animals like cheater etc, maybe they exist.




The more options, the more players become involved. Esports isn’t going anywhere. In some ways, it feels like Esports is on the path to replacing horse racing as the daily sport to bet.

How does it feel when horse racing is also encrypted video on eSports. I think with the different options including horse racing, eSports is growing daily and creating gambling experience.

Few of them are useful for people who don't have time to study or read about a particular sport for example football you need to be attentive and know what is currently happening around the club that he wants to bet your money on but this type of groups make things easier for people that don't have time to sit at the TV and study some sports you know, for informations.

On another hand some other pundits use them to compare others. Like they join different of such group but they belong to the free signal section to see what is being predicted there and they use them alongside with what they see from some other groups, they compare and contrast before staking their bet. These are the class of people who do betting for a living, they have the time to research on all that they want to bet. They sometimes compare idea with other bettors and doing such has higher chances of success sometimes but if you rely on just what was predicted without your personal effort then you may likely just be paying call fees with no benefit.
2687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are there real sports bet groups on: June 26, 2023, 08:32:51 AM
If someone claimed they have the right strategy for gambling and winning more times than losing, why can't they use the strategy for themselves and change their lives first?


That is simple logic to prove to you that is fallacy. If you have a winning strategy in gambling, you don't want to bring it out publicly. For example when you get to offline gambling house you see bettors who win at least average of 50% but such people don't give out same games that will win but they can give out less probable winning games and conceal their real winning games. You hear such people cashing out the next day while your game given to you by them will fail. That is the reality of life.


Why did they go around looking for people to teach? This is why experience after following a friend to a gambling group on telegram, but I am not ready to take the step in any other their predictions..


Your getting to a telegram group may be good for you to have an experience that will help you understand what is happening there. Example if you don't pay you are not given certain games, you just get average games like free prediction but both paid games and free games have no guarantee.


My question for you my friends is are there sport betting groups that gives betting calls that are legit? Because I believe that if anyone knows a way to change their life around, they won't tell anyone, they will enjoy the moments and pray it last forever.


Not really winning games because nobody is certainly giving you such. They research them from other prediction sites and compare with their knowledge of the games and collect fees from you as you register. They have different levels of registration up to VIP and VVIP   Grin

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has released its Customer Due Diligence Regulations 2023 or financial institutions under its regulatory purview as it takes a decisive stance against financial crimes.

My brother forget oo, them just dey use people catch cruise and I know go surprise if dem still leave Emefiele because if dem keep holding him then heads go roll.
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Still Gamble? on: June 25, 2023, 09:18:57 PM

They also will not force themselves to win because they know that victory is difficult.

This is the reason many casinos are rich today because there is a trend consistent gambling even when people lose, they believe trying the next game will be the winning key and they keep playing chasing losses because of their greed. It takes a highly discipline gambler to stop playing while he still has money to continue. This is a real life experience in the daily life of a gambler.


They will only play gambling for fun.


Not really the fact now because even when people say it but deep down their heart they expect huge profit from the bet
2690  Economy / Economics / Re: What do you think, do you see slave trading as a means of boosting economic grow on: June 25, 2023, 08:54:40 PM

But on second thought could this have helped build some country's economic growth


My answer to this is yes, it built the economy of those enslaving others because if you buy someone over you are definitely going to use them for among other things labour. They will add to your labour force and your production and manufacturing level will increase like you made the example of the cotton industry that increased to commercial quantity and that led to export which in return increased the GDP and revenue of the developed countries at that time.

So to answer your question, yes it helps to increase the economic growth because it is additional labour. But at present time, I can't say if there is still the kind of slave trade that existed in the past around 1800, that involved capturing people by force or selling of human beings to another country. However, I believe there is a new kind of slavery which is modern way where people exit their country to another country because of bad governance and that causes brain drain to the home country while the migrants contribute immensely to the economy of the recipient country.
2691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling, investment, stocks..... on: June 25, 2023, 08:03:06 PM

Yes, indeed you can considering that these gambling companies are registered to SEC. But aren't you curious why investing towards gambling stocks are not gaining any attention by the public and the investors? It's because it's not really advisable especially if you're looking forward to invest in gambling stocks as stocks alone as a whole are much more volatile and much more risky because of its vulnerability mainly when the economy is declining.

I think another reason that the gambling stocks are having that level of high attention is that people who play most times don't make profit and so they feel it will be a wasted investment just like they have been recording losses. It takes a knowledgeable bettor to have a different view from what I have said because by the time you play repeatedly without no success, you also get discouraged from further investment, at least this is the way the larger population of losers will think.
2692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: June 25, 2023, 04:28:00 PM
Is this happening for real? I am just surprised to see this type of gambling discussion which I have never imagined like two billionaires who have setup top companies will be competing in a cage match but have some dates been finalized or this is just another one of the influence drama going on for some upcoming projects for both of them? But if this is happening I am seeing lot of hype about it and a great event for gamblers as well with boosted odds.

How it started . I think this may just be another social media stunt that we are going to see unfold something as days go by. After three days that this story took over the air and musk mum tweeting on not going to see that come through, we are yet to get updated on the next move if these two rich dude are going to give the public something to talk about anytime soon but if that is going to happen, I believe crypto is going to rally so hard.

2693  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A bitcoin retirement plan with a disturbing length of years. on: June 25, 2023, 02:54:18 PM

Why do people diversify their portfolios and not focus on bitcoin? They also don't trust bitcoin?


No I don't think it is because of trust that people won't stay with only bitcoin but however, there is a saying that a wise man doesn't rely on only one source of income to be financially stable and satisfied to take care of the family. Diversification is economically wise. Agreed that bitcoin has a level of guarantee but some other coins have survived through time so to also keep some reserve with etheruem is quite reasonable. Apart from bitcoin and etheruem, some other altcoins have also fluctuated and survived like bitcoin, variety is the spice of life as it is said.
2694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. Who you betting on? on: June 25, 2023, 01:44:56 PM
Many think that this will be a win for Zuckerberg, but they are different in height and weight and that could be an advantage for Musk if it is true that he does also have some experience in martial arts



It's funny how they also compare the net worth! Cheesy

But Musk is also 30 to 45 lbs heavier according to the text although I think that Musk is even heavier than that. It is 6 inches and the weight and of course technique is important above all else, but when both have some experience those differences in height and weight could be hard for Zuckerberg to counter.

If this fight were to be real I don't think your analysis regards to height would be an advantage in this because your have to consider age which is important to movement and speed. Looking at Mick Tyson in his prime, he was able to defeat most bigger fighters because of his age that was advantage for him and then his punch. So if musk had the combination of age and height then I would agree with you but now he only has height slightly higher than Zuckerberg and that may not matter
2695  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: European Sex Championship 😳, Will you Bet? on: June 25, 2023, 12:56:54 PM

The proposal for this sex championship was indeed submitted but it was rejected by the National Sports Confederation of Sweden in April.
So we need not worry about it affecting the children. It was kind of obvious that the proposal would be rejected.
I wonder why sex was declared as a sport at first place when they know that it's a private thing.

Source : https://news.yahoo.com/debunked-sweden-not-hosting-sex-230735889.html

It is good to hear that this purported escapades of sex show didn't happen after all to the public or I'm thinking it didn't happen publicly. To have sex in the public is not was should be encouraged because it was not designed to be that way for human beings but only for animals and that is way we are higher and above them  

I can see where this is coming from because the lead organizer, Dragan Bratych , the chairman of the Swedish Federation of Sex runs a strippers club and he probably felt to move miles further to gratify his business in sports.


The competition failed totally and the organizer is claiming that contestants broke the rules thereby all of them were disqualified. The proposed six-week context ended in shame and I am glad it did. At least it is clear that people have rejected sex as a sports competition.

Can you provide a detailed information and link to show the sex sports actually happened because I just read from the above link that it was not approved.
Quote
Bjorn Eriksson, the chief of the sports federation, confirmed the rejection of the application by the National Sports Confederation, citing failure to meet their requirements.

2696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which League Makes Sports Betting Easy to Win? on: June 25, 2023, 07:43:22 AM

Champions leagues are also one of the easiest just incase one isn't comfortable with all this little leagues.

I hardly will believe this with champions league. To me it is the most sanctified of them all because it involves different champions from different country's league so the possibilities are extremely slim except if you are talking about the last matches of the group stage but even with that FIFA tries to eliminate that fear of match fixing by playing them simultaneously. When the matches get to elimination stages, I don't envisage that to happen. At the last final, if Intermilan was able to defeat Manchester city, then I would be likely thinking it is all match fixed  Grin
2697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: June 25, 2023, 04:38:08 AM

You will find some women who also want to conquer the odds while some men know that there is no point in trying. I think with the changing landscape having more women who are self made, individual and determined, more female gamblers will increase the statistics.


The women are leaving that gender limitations to try out more risky endeavours, taking their chance which is what gambling itself is all about. If you try today with fear to win small then the next time you want to increase your chances of winning big


Ideally, no one should gamble.

Unfortunately it can't be stopped, even the bible story recorded it and in fact the rate of gambling is increasing which is the reason for more gambling and gaming companies all over the internet. Currently, the highest numbers of signature campaigns in the forum are on gambling and casinos. I think the means of source of income is now mixed with professionalism and luck based, unlike in the past that it was strictly on acquisition of skills both unskilled, semi skilled and skilled .
2698  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 24, 2023, 09:13:41 PM
No one will give 200 million for Mbappe, Real aims to get Mbappe as a free agent, and no one will overpay for him. For Mbappe, first of all, the issue with PSG needs to be resolved, are they ready to wait for 2024 to let him go as a free agent, I am almost sure that PSG will not agree to this, because for them it will mean losing a lot of money. And I see that Mbappe is now pursuing a purely financial interest, despite the fact that he is a very talented player.
You say no one? Well I think Real Madrid are still desperate yo have Kylian Mbappe on their team list next season and so they are capable of paying such huge amount to secure his signature. I think all they are waiting for is a go-ahead and they will go any length to get him this summer. This is a big problem for PSG that they need to resolve before the new season begins so that they can begin the season without distractions.

I think the issue with mpappe is still not clear if Madrid has bought him over. But they have Jude Bellingham already incase mbappe didn't go through and they are shopping for one more option. As for mbappe, he is still giving assurance to PSG to stay with them one more year till 2024 but I can't be sure at the moment if he has finally been bought over to Madrid.
2699  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is There A Time That You Calculated All Your loses In One Year on: June 24, 2023, 08:36:29 PM

So I stopped counting my losses and just minimize my betting I just tried to be happy on the thought that I have good times betting and I enjoy the thrill.

Gamble for the fun of it mostly and if you attach monetary interest as priority on it you should accept all that will come from it because it is luck base. Bet as you can manage to control when you lose. It always happen that way that when you lose money you begin to worry but the winning comes and you increase your stake to lose higher. To be cautious about how much goes into gambling is a wise idea and the best is to set aside a percentage of how much you wish to bet by the week or month so that you can really have a control on how much wager you want to carry out at the month. Proper calculation and accountability shows good management of gambling habit.
2700  Bitcoin / Legal / Re: IMF calls for the regulation of cryptocurrency on: June 24, 2023, 07:44:04 PM
IMO , I don't think IMF should be taken seriously in regards to matters of cryptocurrency because legally, they are strictly to look into the monetary of funds in their member countries and how their policy promotes financial stability and economic growth through job creation. I don't see how cryptocurrency is interfering in their obligations so they don't even need to gag the crypto community that is already creating investment and financial freedom for good numbers of youths across. Countries who have created CBDC are seeing need for catching their market audience online , IMF need to understand the current rhythms of the time.
