301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Have Different Perception Of Gambling Operators on: February 26, 2024, 01:21:41 PM
What i understand about each of them is that. The first brother gambling store operates typically by luck and a gambler is gambling online so you don't know who to blame when you lose your money. But the other brother has a store that you gamble with other gamblers. It's a one-on-one gambling environment where you just don't rely on luck to win but you have to be skillful in it. This is why there must be a winner and a loss in gambling but there are more physically losers in the second gambling environment.

Most persons prefer losing money online since they cannot go and meet anyone for refund. But whenever they lose money physically, they will always know who to meet and create a scene or fight. This is part of human nature.

The topic I want to discuss today is the odds that we can get on our side, especially in sports betting. These can be various methods and life hacks that increase the likelihood of winning in gambling.

It would have been more easy o n us to be wining if we had understand the various means that we can adopt to help us have a better chances on winning than loosing when we are gambling, this also means that we have been so focused in one direction than we can do to expand the opportunity for winning through t=our gambling strategies, odds applied and the final decision we are taking in it, all these are what should work for us more better than we do see when we are not been mindful of them.
Since the odds cannot be the same every time. That is why we can't get it all right in one place. And gambling should be dependent on odd but rather should be evaluated based on the performance and analysis. If it is sports betting, a gambler needs to know the past and current performance of both teams. And also understand the benefits of the present or absence of a particular player.

If there were a consistent strategy that works in gambling. Most gamblers by now should be millionaires or billionaires. Gambling is luck, predicting odds that works is part of luck as well.
303  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Unusual Story that Reflects the Current Gambling Addiction Reality on: February 26, 2024, 12:52:30 PM
Today, I sat amongst a group of people and listened to them as they shared a story that indirectly reflects how terrible the spate of gambling addiction is. It became evident to me that this addiction transcends demographics such as age, marital status, ethnicity, and religious beliefs, but appears to be more prevalent among males.

In this group a person shared a story of how a married reached out to her for medical assistance to support his wife terminal illness treatment. Instead of providing his wife's account details as requested, he offered his own. Concerned that the funds might be misused, particularly for gambling, the person offering assistance insisted on the wife's account details. However, the conversation ended there, with no further response from the man.

he stranger offering aid had no prior acquaintance with the husband. Why then was there apprehension that the funds might fuel gambling rather than support the wife's medical needs?

This short story reflects the current reality we live in.
Chosen gambling over your wife's health is practically being stupid. That is not an addiction that's foolishness. Even an addicted gambler won't do that in that situation. It just pained me how people are showing how crazy and foolish they can be in reality. They make bad decisions and hinder the happiness and life others then later blame it all on addiction. Am more concerned because people take the word addiction using it as an excuse to do bad stuff. Imagine someone open a random fire in the street killing individuals then later he would say he was an addict in alcohol or drugs.

Mehn these persons are psychopath and they should be taken to where people with that disabilities are. Or however be eliminated from the society. I dont think it should be tolerated anymore.
304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the highest amount of money you've ever bet in a single game? on: February 25, 2024, 01:47:17 AM
The highest amount i have ever used in gambling was about $4. Back then was 2000 naira in gambling am not certain though but it was withing this rang that i used. I was not earning much because i was still a student. So, i took out some money from my monthly upkeep sent to me by my parents to gamble. Although that was the period i started gambling after my friend introduced me into football betting.

I lost in that game. But i didn't feel bad at all. Since i understood before time that i may win or lose. Definitely 2000 naira wasn't an amount i could lose without thinking about it later. That amount was enough to buy some textbooks and feeding for some days back then. However, i was comfortable losing it because at that period i had enough at my disposal.
305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 25, 2024, 01:31:50 AM
Arsenal are unstoppable, they won smoothly against Newcastle, and you can be sure that Arsenal will continue to be close to Man City and Liverpool for the top 3 positions in the EPL standings. From the start, it was predicted that Newcastle would not be able to beat Arsenal, their performance continues to decline.
I never expected the match to be so easy for Arsenal. I was thinking Newcastle would give Arsenal difficult moments in the match even if Arsenal will win the match, but we all saw how the match went today. Arsenal made the match so easy, they confidently scored four goals in the match, and they had chances to score more than four goals, but they wasted them. Arsenal are currently unstoppable right now, and they are ready to take down any club they are playing against. With the way Arsenal are playing, it shows that they are really fighting to win the league this season. I just hope they will be able to continue with their impressive performance till the end of the season.

Quite good to see that they are in the best shape possible although it should not be forgotten that this season Newcastle is not last season Newcastle. The differences are significant. Big streak for Arsenal now and this really tightens the race for the Premier League title by a lot. Not sure when it was that exciting and that close for the last time, but I am really looking forward to the final of this season. Hopefully it stays like that until the end.

Arsenal cannot show similar performances in the matches they play. This makes it difficult to predict Arsenal's matches. I thought the Newcastle game would be very difficult for Arsenal, but it wasn't like that. Arsenal took the lead 2-0 in the 24th minute. Newcastle could not show much presence on the road and conceded 4 goals.

The top 3 teams in the Premier League are doing everything to win the league cup. In case of a possible loss of points, the 1st place may change hands. The next matches will be more exciting.
It is easy to predict Arsenal's game unless you do not know how they play. Arsenal is totally ready to win the Premier league title. We have seen their performance in the last 5 matches in the EPL. Very astonishing and when you watch how they play you will understand that there is a new pattern that was established.

Ever since Declan Rice started taking free kicks and corners Arsenal have scored so many goals through his crosses. The last three matches were superb because 4 goals came from the impact of Declan Rice. I must confess signing him and Kai Havertz was one of the best thing Arsenal did and Arteta made a very brilliant choice. I could remember when people were against Havertz after he was signed that he is unable to play very well alongside the team. Now he is the spotlight of Arsenal in the absence of Gabreil Jesus. He performs so well as a striker and scored every match day.

The other guy told him not to stop trying that it is sometimes like that and so is the nature of the business.
I knew they were up to gambling discussion but they never wanted me to know about it.
Definitely it is the nature of the business. No matter the losses gamblers never quit they always have the assurance that they would win and that losing is something that must surely happen along the line. So it doesnt hurt them as long as they will also win massively. Also it depends on the amount the gambler use to gamble. If it is something big then he has to reduce the weight of it. I cant find it interesting when a gambler continue losing with huge sum of money expecting that when he wins it will be a very huge sum of money. Sometimes, when you calculate the cumulative loses and then compare it with his wins. It may end up that he had acquired more loss.
307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 24, 2024, 07:35:56 AM
Arsenal were still good against Porto it's just that they did not win the game, their performance was not enough. It is not something new, sometimes the better teams in a game is not always the team that wins the game. Arsenal just have to not let that defeat affect the other games they have by spoiling their confidence.
Manchester United striker Hojlund who was already making news and building confidence in the league will have to rest some weeks like two or three. It is a blow for Manchester United because they are on the charge to secure champions league qualification, for a player like Hojlund who has scored in consecutive games recently, having him not fit is a hope killer.
Arsenal were very good in the match, they played very well but they lack experienced players and as a result of that Porto used their Champions League experience and home advantage to win the game because Arsenal were so relaxed at the end. This is not the end of it because I am very sure that Arsenal can win them in the second leg.

Exactly. To me I even think Arsenal took that defeat they faced in the first leg as a mistake that will be corrected in the second leg, I believe, because the first leg with Porto is that Porto really used their experience players and I think everyone was relax that Porto are not strong so they will concur them easily, or let me say they used players with average experience of playing in the Champions League, so for the second leg they will try all their best to beat them; they won’t relax as they did in the first leg; furthermore, Arsenal are going to play at home in the second leg, so I believe they won’t make any mistake that will make those guys beat them, so let’s wait and see what they will do, but I know that they won’t do anything that will make them lose to Porto again. 
What i understood is that Arteta knows that the returning leg will be very dangerous. That Arsenal would win with enough goals. His priority was to focus on playing Newcastle today. So he reserved his players for this match. I could remember very well that Newcastle defeated Arsenal in their previous EPL meetings with one goal lead. I felt they rubbed the game although. Now Arteta dont want any loop hole anymore he needs all his players ready and fit for the match today.

A lot of Arsenal fans understand this strategy from Mikel Arteta because it has worked so well. We saw that against Lens. First leg they won 2:1 but returning Arsenal dealt with them about 6:0. Football is practically logical at times. You dont send all your first team players into the field when the match is not one that should be taken serious.
308  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy bitcoin now? on: February 23, 2024, 04:53:03 AM
If we have realized that the price of Bitcoin can still remain higher than now so there is no harm in buying now and if we can take advantage of a situation like this then we can be sure we will be able to gain profits from holding Bitcoin, delaying collecting Bitcoin is certainly a mistake. carried out by people who do not understand Bitcoin well and if they know well how Bitcoin works, of course they will not miss the opportunity to collect according to their abilities.
Bitcoin has always present a buy opportunity with its present price most times, the only times Bitcoin has done otherwise is that which I can't remember because even when the price is falling it's still presenting an opportunity for a buy but then we some times want to wait to see a sign of a gradual rise before we embark on buy but then it turns out late in some cases so it will be mostly better to buy using DCA and waiting to get some profits because waiting for the best time, such a time may never come handy enough.

The mistake in delaying to take profit is mostly due to the fact that some persons want to get more off Bitcoin and of which isn't a bad idea but then one aught to be careful not to allow greed set in nd to optimally take prodits as at when due.
This is very relatable. When i started investing in bitcoin. I had this believe that when i see a gradual rise in the price of bitcoin, it has shown sign that it will go up soon so i just wait for it to go down a little before i buy. Now the idea was that i was quick to expect profit from bitcoin when i haven't bought yet. The disadvantages of this actions cost me a lot because for several times the price of bitcoin never goes down for me to jump into it.

These change my perspective on it. I think the solution is, if you have the money buy and don't wait. There is no regret in buying any fraction of bitcoin and it is best to always buy not hoping that your investment will yield result to feed you or carter for your daily expenses. Delay in buying bitcoin will surely lead to regret of not buying enough bitcoin when the time for reaping the benefits of our investment comes. An di don't want to be part of those who would have wished they bought enough bitcoin then.

  We are analyzing the price change of Bitcoin, we determine when the right time for buying Bitcoin. I think it is the point of this thread. CMIIW



 Mate, I totally disagree with you on this, and that really sound mixed up regarding to the concept of this thread, thou am new but have been observant to an extend and am also opened for corrections if am wrong about this,  the topic of discussion is based upon a presumption of various strategies of accumulating Bitcoin for long term holding or investment plan of about 4 to 10 years or even longer which creates a better opportunity of experiencing compounding of your invested value. Purchase can be made through dca (installment buying on intervals) or lump sum(buying at once or in bulk) where the dip should be seen as an advantage of accumulating more Bitcoin in your portfolio. Secondly, talking about when the right time for buying Bitcoin has also been addressed @JJG that the first right time was yesterday and the second right or best time is today and this brings to every Bitcoin antispator that procrastination ever buying Bitcoin or the person asking on the right time to buy that the right time is never tomorrow.

Even if am not that correct in my expression but i don't think what @lalabotax said above is actually the point of this thread.
You have spoken well and i like what you have said. You may seem new here, but it doesn't mean you have little understanding to investing in bitcoin. The main reason i take time to read through everyone's comment before jumping into replying is that i see each other's contribution valid. I make my own research and compare them before putting them into actions. What we just need sometimes is a little argument and discussion, most times it holds the solution to what we want.

We have been discussing about various of accumulating bitcoin, strategy to use for a long time in this thread but only few persons have bought bitcoin. I won't be surprised that most persons here just say things for saying purpose without actions. They don't have any fraction of bitcoin yest they talk about dca every day. I don't blame them because the knowledge came too easy to them, so they don't value it. There are thousands of people outside these walls wishing they can find somewhere that would give them the information about bitcoin investment.  I was discussing with my friend yesterday and i told him bruhh, this is the best time we can get bitcoin i see it going to 500k in a decade. I dont know why i had so much conviction but thisis reality and it will happen. Think for the unexpected when you are hodl.
310  Economy / Economics / Re: DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS on: February 23, 2024, 04:17:43 AM

It's estimated that approximately 700 million people still live on less than US$1.90 per day,

This is not a solution i can rely on. There is economic hardship and the price of goods and services have increased very much. Using $1.90 per day cannot be possible in this present condition because no services can go below $0.7 unless it is a very poor service. In many countries the money can be a lot to some persons but trust me if you check how much to get just breakfast then talk more about lunch and dinner you will get to understand that the $1.90 you estimated per day can only afford breakfast. That is the main reason why you see most people care about taking breakfast and dinners only. Lunch is rarely taken so as to save cost.

Don't worry OP when we see the right solution it will be obvious. You have done well to think outside the best and come up with something that works for you but sincerely it cannot eradicate poverty.

In the last bullish surge, BTC's market cap soared to an impressive $1.2 trillion, boasting a daily trading volume fluctuating between $25-36 billion. Fast forward to today, the current market cap has breached the 1 trillion-dollar mark, leaving us in suspense—has the bull run truly begun? Skepticism lingers as the market cap needs to surpass previous records to confidently signal the bull's return.

While my analysis might be a bit of a shot in the dark, I'm eager to hear from the seasoned OGs for their insights on this intriguing crypto saga. 🚀 What's your take on the current state of the market?
Lets gibe Bitcoin some time to show more potential. This is just the beginner of the bull run. Funny enough the bull run is not officially started. So let us reserve our analysis, controversial statement and wait to see what bitcoin will do soon. Starting from the second quarter of the year. Obviously it wont pass this year we will see another all time high.

This had been bugging me for months now. Every Wednesday in my own timeline (GMT+8) I always lose money at every casino game that I go to.
It is as simple as you should not gamble again on Wednesdays. I will say I believe you because when I was gambling very well which was daily, Saturdays and Sundays has been my bad days. I will make money on Monday to Friday and lost the money during weekend. So I will say I believe.
I believe that gambling is always about luck but if the op thinks he has good gambling luck on a particular day and bad gambling luck on a particular day then he can avoid his bad days. Because that's what happens to him on a regular basis. There will be both profit and loss in gambling.  No one will ever win regularly or lose regularly. this is why gambling should always be done for fun and only in an amount that will not result in a huge financial loss even if it is lost.
Even ones with luck also get unlucky sometimes. No one should hope that his gambling luck will last for a life time. One day they will surely lose i guess that id why Op is feeling so sad because this is the first time he had lost in gamble or get unlucky so badly.

I consider JJG'S advice that after building up your Bitcoin investment portfolio to a certain point of considering diversification, that it is advisable to diversify in to real life investment such as selling commodities, real estate or land, investing in altcoin is more like gambling than investment. Fuck shitcoins.
I agree with you, @Tmoonz, because after we have completed our bitcoin accumulation plan, if there is a need to diversify our investment, we should start a business that will generate money that we can use to solve our daily life problems, and it will allow us to hold our bitcoin investment for the long term because it will be a source of income that we will use to solve our daily life problems, and we will not depend on our bitcoin investment to solve them.
Using profits from investment returns from Bitcoin will certainly be very good and if we get profits from the business we are running we can still invest in Bitcoin again, because by having several sources of income this will make it very easy for us to meet our needs. we will need in the future and we will still get profits that we can use for our daily needs from the business.
The reason for diversification of investment is not because we need money for daily needs and expenses. Maybe you are mistaken all the points he said. Before you start investment it is important you should be certain that   there is a source which can provide your daily needs and emergency funds. If you dont have that part settled dont start any investment. Diversification is done to help build a bigger picture of your investment portfolio so that you will have so many places which will give you future benefits.

Funny enough where they together because they dont have money. Now they have won a jackpot they now see each other flaws and tend to go find a better partner for themselves. IMO, they are meant for each other they should just see it that way, that if they are together they will win more jackpot with their luck.

Also when splitting the money i support you that it should be done equally. There shouldn't be no hierarchy there. So that peace will remain and everyone  will leave happily. I believe it is a very big sum of money that would be enough for them

Manchester City vs Beneft was an interesting game between the two teams and Manchester City luckily won by 0-1. The game was really exciting with Beneft attacking strongly but they couldn't keep the ball in Manchester City's net which could not equalize the match. Although the game was played at Manchester City's home ground, it was a great battle between the two teams from start to finish but Erling Haaland's goal in the 71st minute gave Manchester City the win and managed to collect the points. However, since Manchester City organized the match brilliantly, they occupy the second position in the points table and they have 56 points. At the moment, they would have 56 points and Liverpool's 57 points at the top of the points table. Of course, the competition between Manchester City and Liverpool will continue.
The points difference is slim, giving Manchester City confidence of equalizing points with Liverpool at the top. The Reds coming with everything they got because backing out is not an option they would wished to settled for. Jurgen Klopp leaving Liverpool at the end of the season and he aims to win major titles for with his club atleast to create memories with them.

This current season is against Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp. These geniuses will be giving in everything to ensure they are standing tall on the table. Manchester City will continue to gain points in EPL matches because they're yet to meet their mates, and when they face one of these tough opponent, we would know. Brentford are tough time when it comes to playing elite teams in the English Premier League. Thomas Frank thought he could have his way against Pep Guardiola at Etihad stadium but it turn he was simply hammered by the outstanding squad of Pep's army.
Dont be too quick to conclude that Manchester City will win Manchester United. I cannot vouch for any side but i know there is going to be a winner. Only the outcome of that day would decide If Manchester City will be at the top or remain at the same position.

Manchester United on the hand are much competitive when it comes to playing with bigger teams like them. If care is not taken they might win Manchester City because they have players like Mctomminay, Gernacho, Rashford and Gernacho including Casemero. These players i mentioned are very good in playing tough teams.
319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 21, 2024, 07:47:21 AM
1 goal lead is not enough for Dortmund to secure the win today. They have to score more if they want to qualify. Am saying this because i still see more pressing from their opponents and care is not taken we might see an equalising goal from PSV.

Although i have placed my bet on Dortmund to win but with multiple of goals of 3. So i am still expecting to see more goals, each specifically from both teams.

The game is away for Borussia Dortmund so winning even with one goal difference will be good.
Right now PSV Eindhoven player de Jong scored a goal from a penalty and it is 1 - 1 right now. This will make things more complicated for Borussia Dortmund especially seeing the odds how shifted drastically from Dortmund being favourite before PSV goal and after it being less favourite..
Perhaps now you will know why i said that 1 goal was not enough. Because i know that sooner PSV would score and if they score there will a slight chances for Dortmund to win the match. And just exactly like i predicted that is what happened. The game ended  a draw when Dortmund had chances to have make it 2 during the second half.

I dont know some teams can be so relentless after scoring their first goal they all fall back to defend. Yes, it is the instruction from their coach but it is not a wise decision in my own observation. Bringing your opponents closer to your post gives them high hope and a chance to score you. This is what happened yesterday, even if the goal did not come directly something like a free kick, penalty may come up that will lead to goal.
320  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 20, 2024, 09:08:33 PM
Today's two Champions League matches will not be easy to predict. It is still possible for each competing team to score a goal if I look at their respective statistics.
Therefore, for these two matches I predict that we will get different results.

The PSV vs Dortmund match will be won by PSV Eindhoven. The Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid match will be a draw.

PSV has an upper chance but although the match is very tight to predict because the both teams has almost the same wining statistics and also if you check the match currently now on  the 10 minutes you will see that the possession is currently 50 to 50% which shows that the match will be very hard to no the exact team that will win the match, however Borussia Dortmund has beginning to put pressure on PSV because there possession has increased.

With the look of things I doubt if there would be goal on this first half because the both team performance is just the same and there strength is equal, however PSV should be on the good side because they are playing from there home so there should also be an advantage, so if perhaps they did not score on this first half there is every chance they will score on the second half but I don't think there would be much goal on this match. However while I was typing Borussia Dortmund has score a goal and perhaps considering how the match is going PSV equalizing the goal will be difficult.

after the first half was over borusia dortmund had taken a 1-0 lead despite psv being the host. possession of the ball is not a benchmark as a measure to win the match but a dangerous shoot on goal can be a benchmark because it means that the attack is very effective. if only possession of the ball shoot on goal does not dominate indicating possession of the ball in its own area of the playing field.
1 goal lead is not enough for Dortmund to secure the win today. They have to score more if they want to qualify. Am saying this because i still see more pressing from their opponents and care is not taken we might see an equalising goal from PSV.

Although i have placed my bet on Dortmund to win but with multiple of goals of 3. So i am still expecting to see more goals, each specifically from both teams.
