301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: April 17, 2024, 10:11:39 AM
I have a profitable friend who told me that when you are in a loss, don't look at that as a money taken from you. Instead think of it like a loan you give to the casino. There's no need for you to take it back right away. As much as possible take your time, it may have a interest later on. This shift my perspective a lot. In gambling there's no need to rush and take your money that you've loss. Casino will always be there. So it's not aonly discipline or self control. It's also more of perspective and beliefs around one's behavior.
I think this is just one of those many allegory about gambling that your friend had just designed for himself in his head to guide himself to gambling responsibly and not to fumble even in the face of losses while gambling. And it great to be with such belief as it's gives you the gambler that locus of control from chasing after losses which ultimately have been known to lead to more losses.

Though I do not completely agree to your friend idea of taking the losses as loan given to the casino which the gambler could take back later on even with interest base on how lucky you are, because it often doesn't work that way as he thinks. Nevertheless, I see his school of thought as one that is helpful to keep the gambler away from irresponsible gambling like loss chasing, and that's worth something for an idea.
Actually, thinking like that is not too bad for suppressing emotions when experiencing defeat so that you don't fall into more defeats at one time. but it is also necessary to calculate quite carefully how much money is considered as a loan. Indeed, if we are lucky, the money might come back to us, but if luck is not on our side, it will also be frustrating if a lot of our money has been deposited into the casino.

In fact, it would be better if you play a little and prefer the investment route in a casino. Many casinos are now opening investment channels. so that our finances are more focused than just thinking that our money was borrowed by the casino, which means that the money may not come back if we don't have the luck to win the game.
That's right, it could help suppress the feeling of emotional defeat but the weakness of this thought as you had said is that, when misinterpreted or misconceived by a gambler it could lead to continuous session of non-stop gambling even in the face of so much losses the idea of "it's a loan", will keep hammering, and if it's a gambler that has no set limit of how much money he gambles with for a day it then becomes a downhill sink for such a gambler. Hence, before we chose to buy into an idea it's expected we get a clear understanding of it.

Dis na total bullshit. Weti concerned Bitcoin investment with out health here. If you no know weti to write u no go go make comments and complete your weekly quota? Must you create thread? Nobody here live without taking care of himself and it is not compulsory to eat fruit. And there is an existing thread which Charles-Tim has brought it to your notice so you can lock dis one and we can discuss on that thread.

If anyone is sick, he or she can't do anything and sickness is very bad thing in human life because if your happened to be the breadwinner of the house then things will spoiled. So it is good to take care of oneself and not only on fruit.
Sometimes I wonder if the person behind this account is normal or is going through a phase of depression seeing how he/she is well known for attacking newbies instead of correcting in love and constructively.

If there has been any other post before this then there should be a polite way to pour it to the OP. I dislike it the way newbies are approached by you in the local board and I think you need to redress your attitude. Am sure you never started in the forum without mistakes and that goes for all of us too.

 You mustn't express yourself by condemning others. Just look at how Charles-Tim expressed himself towards the  Op and compare to yours. In my opinion it's you rather that's  just in a cloak of completing your weekly post through this thread.

Learn to be a constructive critic mate!

I have no idea of any sister site to those sites you have listed but there's one that caught my attention and unfortunately it caught it in a bad light, and that's 1xbit. My advise to you is you should avoid, I mean run as fast as you can away from 1xbit gambling site or any sister related site , for 1xbit has been scamming a lot of it's customers and it's been a character and habit for them that they do this without recourse to their image and integrity. I doubt they ever had integrity from their start. So avoid any sister related site to them as they wouldn't be of any different in their character.

The link below is to a recent complain from one of their victim , don't make yourself the next to follow in line. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5492151.msg63951539#msg63951539.

305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 16, 2024, 12:43:30 PM
~Snip
Barcelona has the upper hand in this match. They just have to avoid defeat in their home that's not too big task for them not to execute. They were able to score 3 goals at Paris last week, if they can replicate that form I think they will manage to scale through to the semi finals. Although PSG will not go down that easily. They will be more determine this time. But the reality is that PSG can still come here and upset Barcelona. Barcelona shouldn't be relaxed because they got a favourable first leg result. They have to play as if they are the ones trailing PSG. I expect to see a good show in tomorrow's game.
Winning 3-2 on aggregate basically doesn't make Barcelona comfortable, it still risks failure if PSG can score 2 goals in the second leg while Barcelona can't do much. I agree that Barcelona is slightly superior in their home games to PSG, but this is not a guarantee that Barcelona can maintain its form and win the match.

I tend to hope that Barcelona draws in the second leg rather than winning, of course a draw could make Barcelona qualify for the semifinals. However, if Barcelona can maintain their form and win the match then it is clear that Barcelona looks really serious about qualifying for the final this season.
In my opinion, it is impossible for PSG to make a comeback in the second leg, because they will play at the Camp Nou, it is very difficult for PSG to put pressure on Barcelona, ​​although nothing is impossible, but in reality it is very difficult for the clubs out there to turn things around, Barcelona just needs  Just a draw to ensure they qualify for the next round and that would be an extraordinary achievement. In several seasons they have always been knocked out in the group preliminary round, so it is very clear that Xavi's squad's ambition is to prepare players who are quite modest but strong in the individual game so it doesn't matter.  It would be surprising if Barcelona is able to compete in the European caste this season.
It was an interesting outcomes last week having the only two Spanish clubs in the champions league won their first leg games, more interestingly was Barcelona been able to snatch an away victory in France from PSG. I can not agree more but to say that PSG can only give in their best in tonights' game at the Camp Nou but won't get that victory they failed to get in their own home. All what Barcelona could be fighting for now is a draw even though they are new with a great advantage to win the match as home team and with their fans to cheer them up.

Comparison check  Barcelona has a fine coordinated team than PSG in terms of how the team is built for goals scoring, whereas Mbappe is just one major man that is majorly expected of goals in PSG team before all else and holding down Mbappe is like stopping PSG from seeing the light of day In any PSG games. I do believe that if Xavi was able to do it away he can also repeat it at home with his boys in this champions league competition.

I as a gambling addict said whatever and played in that casino for more , and that's where the real problem begins , i lost 1.4M USD in 2 nights .

I had every right to ask for a refund and closure of my account from 1xbet based on : 1. i am Iranian , i provided my iranian documents and choose iran as my country in 1xbet , and 1xbet fully verified my account with iranian documents and Country . This alone is illegal cause gambling is prohibited in iran and Also Iran is in banlist Of curaçao for gambling (which is where 1xbet got their license from) .
2. 1xbet changed my country to Bangladesh deliberately and refused to change it back to IRAN by my request .
3.i won many USD but everytime i won 1xbet refused my bets and every time i lost they were ok with it .
It's really a very sad note of experience and I sympathize with your loss using a fraudulent casino 1xbit. But going further I blame you somehow for being non-law abiding by using a casino you are aware of is in a ban list in your home country apart from it been a scamming gambling site.

Your complain is one of numerous complains about the illegalities meted on gamblers by 1xbit which is why we are advised to do a thorough background check about reviews about a casino before going on to make use of them. With those reviews from users before you, you will know if you're about to use the right casino or not.

Finally, you said you lost 1.4M USD in just 2 night's of gambling. Oh man! That's reckless gambling, you're just an addictive gambler and you need to watch yourself and administer some control to how much you should use to gamble. 1.4M USD can be useful if invested in a good project just in 6moths alone you are sure of ROI. Be wise mate.

You claim to erroneously send 4.37 BTC  to some undisclosed wallet address.

My questions are:
If your claims are true why didn't you make available to our knowledge the wallet address you wrongly sent the 4.37 BTC to, just as you could make known to us the address  1L1UduuGPZ8ttGe59F2w9tTEumQFhtxiuT you claim to have been used to send the BTC.

Secondly, Why provide entirely different wallet addresses as where the BTC should be sent to assuming the person who wrongfully received the 4.73 BTC decides to send it back. Why do so when you could use same address you used in sending it to also receiving, that's if your claims are genuine and not some sort of a scam scheme.

Your claims to me are suspicious for you don't seem to be straightforward.

An impressive win by Chelsea today. They demolished Everton 6-0 with Cole Palmer scoring 4 goals.
Looking at the table, Chelsea is currently 9th, but they only have 31 games played so 1, or even 2 games less than the teams above them.
5th place is out of reach for them but they have a decent chance to attack 6th place and to overtake Man United and Newcastle.
The young lad Cole Palmer is a saving grace for Chelsea this season and I can confirm that without regret he's the best  signing Chelsea ever made this season and it's very important Pochettino starts building the team around him. Palmer has the brilliance and the stomach to carry this Chelsea team back to glory days.

The 5th, 6th and 7th position is still open for any of the team's as the teams that are currently seated within these positions are with shaking points that with Chelsea 2 outstanding games to play there could be the chance that Chelsea will be moving upwards into one of those positions either 5th or worst still 6th as you had analyzed.

Tried rewatching those wonderful highlights again through the link but the message that popped up after asome seconds of loading was that the uploader has not made the video available to my country.
310  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin and global tensions! on: April 15, 2024, 04:31:43 PM

Once again the weak hands in the Bitcoin Market are overreacting to the overly hyped up reports by mainstream media and panic selling their bitcoin. So far they've only caused a 9-10% drop which was also partly recovered by going back up to around $65k.
However, this raises the question of how suitable Bitcoin is in times of increased global tensions? This is while I wouldn't even categorize this as a significant tension, this is something that may not even last more than 24 hours. This is also happening at the time when both oil and gold are soaring due to the same increased tensions. By all logic bitcoin price should have soared over the past couple of hours instead of dropping.

In my opinion panic sells like this are telling us that the market has not yet reached the maturity that we'd hoped for but at the same time the fact that the size of the panic sell is not as big as what would have been 5-10 years ago says there is still some hope as we are on the right path.
Within this 48hrs tension from the
Iran-Isreal conflict  here's what I learnt regarding bitcoin and it's adopters within this shortest time:

A large number of bitcoin holders don't understand the market that well as they claim to, and they are not holding bitcoin for it's other utilities than as just a means of making profit through it's volatility. And as a result there is an immature trust level from  especially the weak hands as they get consumed by FUD from the media.

Bitcoin is conventionally described as digital gold and if digital gold to it's adopters/holders, then it's rightfully expected that the market forces behind the soaring of oil and mostly traditional gold under this 24hr+  tension ought to have effected also in bitcoin price. However a price fall was what we all experienced, meaning that apart from bitcoin not reaching a preferably matured level it has also not gained so much wide range of trust as traditional gold. That's why any conflict of this nature in any part of the world will always have a reversal effect on bitcoin price not until it acquires and reaches that climax of trust and maturity as gold.

And I agree with Op that if it was to be a decade ago the percentage price fall experienced presently would have been far down than this, which is to say there is a progression and bitcoin will surely get there giving it time.
311  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to be more visible in the forum as a beginner on: April 15, 2024, 03:44:39 PM

Some sections I feel it's not too good for a newbie to engage in discussion are: The reputation board, Loan section, Meta, development and technical discussion, scam accusation and project development. It is assumed that users who get involved in these sections are rooted in the forum and has spent so many years in the forum and have experience about the discussions in those sections so a newbie getting involved in those sections literally makes them look naive and that account looking suspicious as an alt.

What I have noticed about new users getting in the forum is that they all respectively have a particular board of their strength in the very beginning of their journey in the forum that they start with by constantly dwelling much on that particular board.

A user can before joining the forum have technical knowledge and with specialization in computer science skills like coding and others. You don't expect such user to be fond of posting in politics and society board because he is a newbie when he can by his knowledge share in the technical discussion board, project development board instead of Politics and society just to prove he is a newbie.

This is why it's very likely not to be true using the board a newbie posts in regularly to use to identify if he's an actual newbie or just a disguise old user under a newbie account. There are other glaring ways to identify but just not certainly this way.

Today Bayer Leverkusen will face Bremen at home, after seeing Munich win in yesterday's match Bayer Leverkusen will definitely want to continue their winning record when they face Bremen later, they are not too tough an opponent for Bayer Leverkusen even though they are in the middle of the table and have the worst results what Bayer Leverkusen might achieve is a draw but I don't think that will happen when facing Bremen, but no one knows the surprise because we haven't seen Bayer Leverkusen defeat for the first time, who knows, the lower level teams will be able to give Bayer that surprise.

Bayer Leverkusen need to win this game to achieve two things: a record for not being defeated for long time and to grab the Bundesliga title from Bayern Munich which dominated it for so many years too.
Xabi Alonso could celebrate the Bundesliga title with his team and fans since today at home once they defeat Werder Bremen, let's not forget this important point Wink
Xabi Alonso, he is a complete genius, so incredible, efficient in his career as a player and still holding the efficiency as a coach with Leverkusen. I am far impressed by the long record he has broken and probably be setting today another exceptional record when they win werder bremen.

I read on X that in light of today's game Leverkusen has to rename the street leading to their stadium after him Xabi Alonso and to me that a beautiful way of showing appreciation for a job well done. https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1779495150047117390?t=PcRD1yqyWpu3LZPnSco4Jg&s=19

We have seen some big dumps in the world stock market and crypto market and the world's business may get affected by this situation. I would like to know what impact will it have on gambling ?

Do people gamble less when they see such tensions around the globe?

Will the gambling sites/bookies will have an impact on this situation?
It will have a negative impact on gambling just as it's happening with all other financial markets.

 Who chases a mice when his house is on fire? Gambling won't equally be in the list of things in my head and I know this also applies to other people.

Not even a gambling addict in his right senses of reasoning will care to gamble in a warring situation. The tension alone only focuses your mind to survival thoughts only as nothing else matters at that moment.

More devasting will be that many gambling sites would have to shutdown temporarily until normalcy returns.

Liverpool vs Crystal Palace in the first half went 0-1 and the goal was scored by Eberechi Eze in the 14th minute.
And I saw that Liverpool's game was very good but a little messy because they were always less accurate in passing the ball which made the ball always go out of play. However, I am sure that with Liverpool's dominance throughout the first half, they will definitely score a goal in the second half because in the first half Liverpool had several good opportunities but were unlucky.
And Liverpool also have to be wary of Crystal Palace's counter attacks because Crystal Palace's counter attacks are quite dangerous and they must not be careless, especially in defense.

Unexpectedly, Crystal Palace, who played as a guest, actually managed to take a 1-0 lead over hosts Liverpool. What was quite surprising, Crystal Palace dared to play an open game against Liverpool. Even though they lost possession of the ball, Crystal Palace had slightly better shots on target than Liverpool. Even in the 18th minute, Crystal Palace had a very good chance which should have been a goal, It is just Andrew Robertson's tireless efforts that were able to thwart the goal opportunity when the ball has touched the line.
Really unexpected first half came out with the advantage of Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace should have scored 2 goals, but in some fantastic podcast Robertson knocked the ball out of the gate and it's good that now there is technology fixing the ball crossing the goal line, because the referee on the line could have counted this goal.
Liverpool also had a chance to score and even hit the bar once, but in general it seems that Liverpool players do not really need a win in the EPL, because they play extremely relaxed. 
Not only an unexpected first half but an astonishing full time of a shocking defeat to Liverpool and I wonder what was Klopp thinking, his strategies are not bringing forth good results for the Reds. He just lost a Europa league game against Atlanta by resting his best men in the start of that match for this EPL game against Crystal Palace just to lose it all over again. Honestly, I can only say Liverpool don't stand any better chance anymore in the title race this season they have really dropped form looking at their poor performance in straight two games.

It's now left between Arsenal and Manchester City. And the question is, between these two who is next to drop points looking at the remaining fixtures of the two teams I'll say arsenal are the side that are in a tighter corner than Manchester City.
315  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: World bank says Nigeria’s 2024 inflation rate will drop to 24.8 per cent on: April 14, 2024, 11:47:33 AM
The prices of both locally produce products and imported not falling down even as the dollar value against the Naira which was used as an excuse to hike prices has now fallen and still falling, the  implication is that there is a lack of a functioning price control body in the country. The body responsible for price control might be on board but there's a difference between effective functionality and just bearing the name.

Additionally, on the other hand, there are underlying factors that are causative to this insistent increase of locally produced commodities, which are; the sudden removal of fuel subsidy, the increased electricity tariff and the continued increased insecurity in the country.

All of these as I said above has led to this locally produced commodities, however, the marketers and businesses are overdoing it, the rate at which they skyrocket the prices of these commodities on daily basis is irrational despite the fee mentioned points I have made above as the reasons for the increase prices. It ought to have been in a moderate increase but it's rather taking a bullet train speed in the hikes of all locally manufactured products. To me it's condemnable and the government need to rise up to it's responsibility and stop acting amiss.

15-17% max drop down can be seen before we rally for the next ATH which I have predicted in 2022 itself. You can find my posts here on the forum.
Overall, it's a healthy correction incoming and similar stuff happened in the previous cycles too.
Bitcoin experiencing a 15-17% price drop is not what should trigger a disturbance among investors but should rather be taken as opportunity to buy more within the period of such percentage dip. Ultimately, this circle is going to blow a lot of minds, the unprecedented new ATH reached before halving is something that has never been in the history of previous circles and there are glaring reasons that triggered that effect, especially the  bitcoin spot ETF. However, we are all working base on speculations buy what's important within all of these speculations is that after all the lows and highs the bullrun is inevitable consistent to bitcoin 4 years circle's.
317  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 13, 2024, 03:07:07 PM
Luton town met an equal match in Bournemouth and made sure to play as the better team in that game to snap the three points from Bournemouth who couldn't stand Luton charge in that game. However, it's a pity that Luton a team that just recently fought it way up the premier league is at the verge of relegating so sudden back to the championship where they came from. The EPL is not for the weak, surely.

Luton visiting Manchester City at Etihad is no debate that Luton is with no clear chance of having a draw how much more of a win today. City are on fire and this is evidence in the way they played against real madrid at Santiago Bernabeu in the champions league. Twice City had faced this Luton team this season and have won in those meetings, so there nothing denying City from stripping from Luton 3points in this game at the Etihad and it's going to be with more than 2goals with haaland contributing to those goals too.

Luton manage to come from relegation zone and beat Bournemouth that has gone more far than them on the premier League table, though I don't know how they manage to succeed on wining the match because it was obvious that Bournemouth was more stronger than them but however this time around they will not be that lucky because they will be meeting with Manchester City and considering Manchester City planning of leading the premier League table they will use Luton to score as many goals as possible, perhaps this is the kind of match foden normally take advantage of, so actually he is gonna disorganised Luton defense line.
There is no doubt about the winning prowess of Manchester City, but don't do the mistake of writing off Luton. Bournemouth didn't see it coming, even though the odds where highly in their favour. However I'm open to see a game where Luton will struggle to make a point against Manchester city, the preparation they will be having will be different compared to other games.  Manchester city are rather looking for more points at this moment, because even though they win or score too many goals which I don't think will be possible today, they will be 73 points, and if arsenal and Liverpool win their both games tomorrow respectively, everything will return back to status quo, leaving Manchester city a distance third.
@Spaceman1000$ no one is writing off Luton team we are just stating the obvious which is what is already at play in the just concluded first half of this game between Manchester City vs Luton. If you been watching the game all through the first half the ball has been played in Luton's defensive front all the 45 minutes and for a game as this it can only take a massive stroke of luck for Luton not to lose this match by probably getting a comeback and draw this game as both teams returns for the second half.

But I doubt Luton can turn things around against this Manchester city team that are one of the most richly constructed team in the English Premier League. City are pressuring and holding possession in this game I think they need to make more penetrative passes in Luton defense in the second half to earn them more goals to seal their three points from this game while waiting to see what the outcome of their top contenders for the title will be by tomorrow.

Luton Town are now in the relegation zone. Luton Town won 2-1 against Bournemouth in the last match. The performance of Luton Town players in this match was very good. Throughout the match we saw the dominance of Luton Town players, and the Luton team managed to get full points from the match.

But I don't think Luton Town have any chance of winning against Manchester City. Manchester City is a very strong team. And we have seen good performances from City players in the last few matches as well. City players have played very well in the Champions League matches as well. My prediction is that Manchester City will win by dominating against Luton town, and Manchester City team will win this match by at least 2 goals.
Luton town met an equal match in Bournemouth and made sure to play as the better team in that game to snap the three points from Bournemouth who couldn't stand Luton charge in that game.

Luton visiting Manchester City at Etihad is no debate that Luton is with no clear chance of having a draw how much more of a win today. City are on fire and this is evidence in the way they played against real madrid at Santiago Bernabeu in the champions league. Twice City had faced this Luton team this season and have won in those meetings, so there nothing denying City from stripping from Luton 3points in this game at the Etihad and it's going to be with more than 2goals with haaland contributing to those goals too.

Is this wrong?

Top 10 Companies in Nigeria That Pay in Dollars
Joint Venture between Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) and Other Companies
Chevron
Global Corporation in the Oil and Gas Industry: ExxonMobil
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in the Oil and Gas Industry
MTN Nigeria (Telecommunications)
Nestle Nigeria PLC
The Federal Nigeria Civil Service
Oil and Gas Total
Dangote Group
Breweries in Nigeria

Do you think the EFCC can stop all those companies not to pay some of their workers in foreign currency?
After carefully analyzing the extent of this fight by the Nigerian government against all forms of activities within the country that has to do with dollarization I am left with no option but to assume that the FGN through it's financial agencies are all playing a mediocre role and victimization policies. They know these organizations that are dealing heavily in dollars and other foreign currencies in the country but they keep channeling their campaigns in the wrong direction because many of the government officials hold major shares in these organizations.

Certainly as Charles-Tim has queried about the ability and power of the EFCC to stop the aforementioned multinational institutions and organizations, it is something to be giving a critical thought because these are institutions and organizations that even the federal government has a stake in it and also enjoys from their operations. Therefore there's no way we are seeing the EFCC taking it's fight against dollarization in the country to the doors of these multinationals organisations. The fight is is a clear mischief if it has to exclude these organizations and just against medium scale business operators and individuals that deals in foreign currency, people like me and you that are crypto enthusiasts.

PSG will be a good destination for Victor Osimhen because he has experience in the French and it is not as competitive as other leagues. He can comfortably score goals and win League One trophy. He can also make more money in PSG because they have the money to spend on players. But if he wants to win European trophies and guns for the Ballon d'Or let him look at clubs in Spain or England. Real Madrid will be a good side for th Nigerian but it seems Real is focusing on Mbappé making him their second target. Chelsea is not playing in the Champions League next season making the club less attractive to the Nigeria striker. Moving to Chelsea will mean sacrificing the Champions League and committing to fight with the club to achieve top four positions next season. Mauricio Pochettino has to convince Victor that he has great plans for the club next season.
But is Osimhen so good now that PSG are interested in him? Only 12 goals in 31 matches, you must agree that this is too little, and by the way, there is already news that Osimhen did not reach an agreement with PSG, I suspect that his agent asked for too high a transfer price. Perhaps Napoli should have sold him in the summer, when his achievements were much better, then a higher price could be talked about, but now everything has changed.
Osimhen is currently playing for the club but he is under a lot of pressure if he is not good at all and he has performed under pressure. If PSG takes this player, of course this player will be independent in PSG and he will perform well when he is independent in a club without pressure. Osimhen would surely be the best option for PSG if Mbappe leaves. I don't see the possibility of any other player leaving his club to join PSG at the moment. If PSG has enough financial support, if they make a big financial offer to a player, maybe a player will agree to come to PSG. All will be known in the next transfer window.
Everything is not all about the money for some players, Osimhen for a truth will be a benefiting option for PSG seeing that he's a smart and  sufficient as an attacker he will certainly create an improvement in the PSG team and also make money for himself, but am skeptical if he will make a happy career in PSG not minding if Mbappe will be departing or not. My take as an opinion is he should move to Arsenal and don't be distracted by the flamboyant offers these bigger clubs like PSG and Real Madrid are offering. At Arsenal he will play as a free spirit without much constraints and pressure, with the talented and creative wingers there in Arsenal his job is already lessened all he has to do is to always be at the right position to delivering the ball to the back of the net which is something he's very good at.
