I didn't expect that Man United lost 0-2. I bet this game would end goalless. Because in the first half, both teams played equally strong. But after the half-two break, Tottenham managed to make a goal from a counterattack, and Martinez's own goal. Man United had a lot of good chances, but they couldn't make a goal. Rashford are not playing optimally, they don't look like they have a number 9. Hojlund's arrival is expected to solve this problem, but his position is still injured. So it looks like Ten Hag will have to be patient with the current conditions.
Indeed this is a bad situation for making king Manchester United have lost this game at this earlier time in the season,  this will affect Manchester United since the start of the season which determined the nature of the foundation the club will have play on throughout the entire season.

Even Chelsea on the other hand also lost the game at the weekend and this is quite an unexpected outcome of the event most especially when both clubs have invested heavily in signing new players to put out their ability to win but revise is the case in this situation.

I dont know why the topic of scam casino have being popping up to me lately and i have been involved in a few discussions that revolve around this same topic, but none the less i think casinos that offers such big bonuses should become the first point of suspicion and before you take any bonuse from a casino, you have to first of all read the terms and conditions, to know what await you if you claim the bonus.

But even at that, scam casinos will still fine ways to manipulate their way into holding back players funds most especially when you make big winning or deposit a big amount into your balance.

So the most important thing to build is a good reputation and and building a team that can work around the club to provide good customers services and also monitoring players' activities to give them the best service that can keep them as loyal players.

Reputation is important to casino lately especially for startups with the incident of exit scam from even casinos bettors thought would not run away with their money. So it is now difficult to trust new casinos despite how long they run their signature campaign. It is just by fate that people can sign-up to new startups because reputation is an important factor. And what is now the guarantee that joining a new casino will not end someone in pain and agony of an exit scam?
Yes with all the scams happening in the gambling industry, many experienced gamblers now know better and have their preference for selecting a casino, this has happened to me many times before, where I see a casino with high publication and promotion also offering bigger odds but lack good reputations, this alone becomes the obstacle and set back because I don't want to risk on gambling in a scam casino.

Many of them have shady practices even though they have high publicity, reputation is what set the organization to be on their fit because there will be a constant attempt to improve and build on unlike scam team that doesn't consider all that, all their want is just to take the money and exit.

So reputation is the root of every successful casino or any project at all.

I do know if I go say this our government them just the do economic experiments them with our country's currency the naira.


Na so we see am so, the government seems to be confused and those at the helm of affairs cannot employ the best hands to do the job, if not What did someone like Emefele have to offer our economy that he served as the CBN governor for two presidents, it's a shame that it has become glaring for other countries to see how ineffective the democratic government have become in third world countries e.g Nigeria, where those running the system are incompetent and lacking the intellectual know how to settle situations, what their do rather is to create ways to steal the country commonwealth and in doing that, they won't mind if the economy is bastardized or not.

So the current exchange and other high inflation crisis in the country is a result of incompetency and lack of clear direction due to corruption and manipulation of the system.

I agree with you, even in my country animal fighting is quite common in some places, and there used to be seasonal competitions for those animals owners in periods such as during salar or any other festive period when observers will gather to bet on those animals the way the observers use to make their bet is to use their biggest analysis tool to determine which animal to bet on their use the physical health of the animal to use their ability to win the fight, I have seen dog fight, horse races, and ram fights, but I have not seen cock fight before but I am sure that it can happen in Some other parts of my country since our government did ban animal fights.

My country is still far from having an animal law so owners of those animals can do whatever they wish without being checked.

I think West Ham and Chelsea is going to be a very interesting game... I like the way West Ham played last season, they were probably better than Chelsea... But today I expect a serious fight and maybe Chelsea will win... A good bet would be both teams to score...

It is quite reasonable to bet that both teams will score, I think we will watch a competitive match. Chelsea have a better squad than last season and they need to show themselves. Therefore, they will be willing and competitive in this match.
I think Chelsea will win the match, bets can be placed on that too Smiley
Just like what happened between  Aston Villa vs Everton where many thought that the match will end with multiple goals from both teams since Everton is also a very strong club in the category of Aston Villa and should have been able to score goals in this match but the reality was different with Aston villa being the club with multiple of the goals.

But Chelsea on the other hand may have a different reality in their match today because truly from the lineup, they have better players more than Westham United but we should not underrate Westham United also.
3028  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help us build the greatest crypto casino on: August 20, 2023, 02:47:36 PM
First I have to deviate a little from the points of many here who have replied to the thread,  I have seen that many of them mentioned signature campaign or other marketing promotion to be the means to building a successful casino, but let me tell you that even if you run the longest signature campaign, but does not have good reputation and advance services on your casino you will still end up being bad actor in the gambling industry.

So the most important thing to build is a good reputation and and building a team that can work around the club to provide good customers services and also monitoring players' activities to give them the best service that can keep them as loyal players.
3029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 20, 2023, 01:30:28 PM
Another EPL matchday and it feels wonderful to see average competitive clubs fighting for three points today. However, I'm sitting home with tater tots and crossed legs, waiting for the West Ham vs. Chelsea game. Live coverage of Aston Villa vs. Everton at Villa Park. The game is already in its 13th minute, with the home team completely dominating. Unai Emery deserves three points in the EPL's second round. There's a lot to keep an eye out for in this game. The Villans continue to create pressure as the Toffees employ a rigid defensive system.
You are not alone in this mate,  it's weekend and we are home watching what becomes of Chelsea after today's game and this is another lucky day for Aston Villa as their already leading with a goal difference and still dominating the game and Everton seems to be losing a lot of attempts to be in ball control that can pave the way for them to make possible goal scores.

Now back to Chelsea vs Westham United game today we must have to remain silent for now because making an analysis of the event right now because may lead us to so many misconceptions but since the stake has already been made we have to sit back and enjoy the game because the 90 minutes will reveal which team is going to be the winner.
3030  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: USDT better pass domiciliary account on: August 19, 2023, 09:26:27 PM
Well some people say they prefer keeping their money in the USA dollar because im na stable currency, they even dislike bitcoin because it fluctuating nature. In these days I don't advise or to save money in the domiciliary account because but if they can endure the long term goal for the bitcoin investment, I will advise them to invest the money in bitcoin and live it there.
The thing be say,  diversification of your portfolio is the best investment method, even though not many will go in favour of Bitcoin when it comes to storing your coins for long-term base,  of holding a stable coin like USDT for short term and as an exchange currency makes it obviously to point to the fact that holding a digital blockchain-based USDT in account on an exchange is far more better than having a domiciliary account with your bank because both have different limitations and possibilities.

Also when it comes to an investment choice between Bitcoin and USDT or any other coins I think holding Bitcoin is more of an investment and USDT is more of an exchange currency and it doesn't have that investment feature like Bitcoin.
3031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 19, 2023, 09:03:04 PM
Going to gamble again after a big win is a poor way for us to gamble because it is going to make us lose money that we won because of the zeal of winning that kind of money again making us use big amount of money to cast bets. Gambling is something that we need to study ourselves enough and check what could be the reasons why we are making loses. If we want to be profitable, we need to study our weakness to know when things are going the wrong way so that we can fix it as soon as possible.
I agree with you on this,  last week I had such an experience where I almost lost all my winning all in excitement and wanting to win more.

How it happened was,  I won about $270 in Bitcoin on stake and instead of me to take a break and make my withdrawal,  I decided to gamble more trying my luck to win more in the game,  but along the line, I lost almost everything,  this incident thought me a great lesson never to be overly confident in gambling even if we are winning.
3032  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How safe are physical exchanges in your neighborhood. on: August 19, 2023, 08:30:35 PM
I still see way more dangerous physically going to some store to buy bitcoin rather than doing it online. If you go to a store everybody sees you, they may even follow you home to check if you live in a small apartment of if you have a big house, they see what type of car you drive and with all those information it's easy to guess how much money you may have.
The truth is that,  I always question this kind of statement where users make such assumption that bitcoin could be bought at a physical exchange,  because everything about Bitcoin is done digitally so the privacy is still there despite visiting a physical exchange it doesn't really means you are totally at risk of security challenges.

Although the best way to buy your bitcoin os through an exchange and have them transferred to your personal wallet,  visiting a physical exchange increase your risks of security but then also depends on your location because some of the bitcoin p2p exchange are unbranded and have other business running in the same environment so no one can really tell what you went in to do.
3033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 19, 2023, 05:22:48 PM
The only pattern I can think of at the moment would be about those occasions I logged in on Stake to see whether I had gotten some money and since I had not I would distract myself rolling dices while waiting. When I finally got the Satoshis I was waiting for, then I would usually increase the wager of each roll until I had lost enough to call it a day and withdraw.

You are not alone on this because on a number of occasions I have noticed a similar traits in my gambling life also most especially now that I am sign up on stake as a campaign participant,  most time I keep awak just waiting for my weekly so that I can wager some or stake sport bets with it and most time I always set a percentage amount for my weekly gambling from my pay,  and if I exusted that amount due to loses I sometimes make extra deposits within the week just to try to meet up with the loses but at the end, I may or may not win any game going forward and have to just accept the loses and take a break for the time being.

What ops described is similar to the experience of many of us,  it may be in different ways to similar to each of us since it is all about winning/losing vs human errors that lead to losses.
3034  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why Bitcoin Dey Come Down? on: August 19, 2023, 06:36:18 AM
My brother the matter is no new to us again and just like many comments already said,  the Bitcoin market is influenced by several factors,  so one can not really point to one single reason to be responsible for such a drastic and sudden drop like this but for sure e no go pass whale market manipulation and it's all a game just to force weak hand into selling their bitcoin at a lost.

Just like others advised,  this is not the best time to sell your Bitcoin,  in fact, this is the best time to accumulate more Bitcoin because I am certain that,  anyone who buys Bitcoin at the current price will be in gain in the next few days because the market manipulations that forced bitcoin price to crash won't hold it down at this price for long,  since this price fall is manipulated the whale won't be able to provide liquidity to keep Bitcoin price down for too long,  so in the shortest while Bitcoin will recover,  but also there can be a possibility that the price drop further so it goes both ways.

But in the main time,  happy Bitcoin accumulation to everyone who will be buying Bitcoin at this price because this is the best Bitcoin buy period.
3035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What you will do? on: August 18, 2023, 09:03:57 PM
I picked lowering the amount to bet because it might mean that someone is betting an amount that hurts when someone keeps losing. For me this is the number 1 rule in gambling, bet only amounts you can afford to lose. There are no wrong answers in the choices so it is okay to try them all. I also did them all before. There is no harm in trying and experiencing them all if we felt bored or annoyed by the continuous losing streaks. After all, we all have different styles of gambling so maybe the other choices work for someone but not for other gamblers.
But this statement has become more or less a fallacy of words, because how can we know what we can afford to lose, because at some point, there is no amount is small to lose or gamble away and I believe that most of gamblers already are aware of that fact and their gamble what they can but not willing to lose any amount at any point.

Gambling is for fun and entertainment just like you said in your last paragraph, but then also many gambles for the rewards there can amass over time and not for the fun.

I will advise people to avoid this site.

Your web3 gambling site domain was registered barely 3 months ago. While people are using noncustodial wallets to connect, if the web3 gambling site belongs to scammers, the seed phrase or private key of the noncustodial wallet can be revealed and the wallet would be compromised.
you using web3 wallet to connect to the site. How is seed revealed?
Ops even if the seed is not revealed,  the user at the backend still can send all the fund from the wallet since connecting the wallet give them access to the wallet,  some wallets can easily be compromised, so for that this casino may end up comprising the wallet,  we are not accusing you,  but that is the high possibilities.

For the fact that this domain was registered a few months ago markets it hard for most of us to believe belief in your web3 services but that notwithstanding,  you have to make us believe in your platform by proving its security and building a good reputation here and outside the forum.
3037  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: August 18, 2023, 03:33:33 PM

People have different views in gambling and such numbers of views are because gambling is trier and no scientific prove of any way to play and win. So if someone try some pattern and it becomes successful, he then thinks and accepts it to be the best way to win. I believe people should do what works for them if they are winning from it because it is all about the money that comes from it as gamblers don't look for fun but multiplier. Therefore, changing casinos because you have been losing in other casinos is what is subjective and IMO it will not be guaranteed but still based on luck.
But the bigger question is that, while we stick to what works for us, we should also take note of the risk that is associated with gambling, because no matter what the outcome may seem to be, it will not continue to favor you all the time so while trying to stick to what works for you should also take into accounts the fact that risk level in gambling is always higher than the chances of winning at most times.

So for that, we need to always take caution on the level of our gambling even if we continue on a winning trend because the odds will not always be for us, and there is nothing like sticking to what works for you when it comes to gambling.
3038  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: August 17, 2023, 10:57:24 PM
Casinos in real life? They are relics from an old time when gaming was different. And this idea that women are mostly involved in fun in these kinds of places? It's ridiculous and almost insulting!

Online tools are the future because humans have always been more interested in the virtual than the real. So, your coworkers play slot machines? Good for them. It is both narrow-minded and stupid to say that women like these because they don't know how to do maths. People, both men and women, are complicated beings who are influenced by many things besides "luck" or "strategy." Look deeper into the complicated web of what drives people before you make assumptions about them.

With you 100%, women are just as likely to play at casinos and they are likely to do it for the very same reasons. Any point made on why half of the population does anything is ridiculous and probably unfounded.

I asked for the research mentioned in the OP but I got nothing in response. All hearsay.
Since this is a discussion thread I think most comments will be based on personal observation and little research so the ops may not be able to provide you with any links that can support his claims,  but even at that,  we all know the low percentage of women involvement in gambling and this challenge have been ascribed to public stigmatization and if the individual doesn't check everything out may result in more or less avoided by others in the society.

All though this is not the same with every state or country because we have some countries where gambling is legalized and women's participation in active gambling is quite noticeable without any form of discrimination like in other parts of the world.
3039  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Another guy go viral mining bitcoin on: August 17, 2023, 11:20:30 AM
First, generally, bitcoin mining in Nigeria is a very good topic for us to discuss, just as the influencer in the video said, Bitcoin mining is a very hot topic here in Nigeria and that is because there have not been any known operational mining farms here in Nigeria I don't know of any other African country if there is any mining farm running effectively.

One of the major challenges that is always pointed at is the lack of electricity supply and in solving that we have to look for.

1: suitable location for bitcoin mining in Nigeria, where there is constant electricity and good environmental condition.

2: high taxation and police brutality since Bitcoin is not yet legal in Nigeria.

I believe that why the guy in the video choose Abuja is because of the electricity supply, because here in Abuja we still have stable electricity compared to other parts of the country, and also the weather conditions in Abuja also have good weather compared also to other states and may compete with Abuja in available electricity supply.

You may be right that the video may have been acted since every YouTuber is looking for and trending topic to act their line on, to get the like and comment, follower so there is the possibility that the video may have been acted accordingly, from the name of the company (Shuga daddy mining) sound like a Ponzi scheme and that raised my suspicious higher in the authenticity of the video.
3040  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Next Bitcoin Bull Run: Is It Tied to the Next Halving? on: August 16, 2023, 11:49:04 PM
Bull run are not specifically tied to bitcoin halving, but however reason why many people believe that bull run always comes after Bitcoin halving is because,  during each halving,  the seize of the block rewards are reduced and by so doing to total rewards on each blocks becomes smaller and that make for more scarcity that will increase the value since the supply will become smaller that the demands and that could become a trigger for price hyke which ultimately will become a full blown bull market.

So for that, the bitcoin bull market can happen anytime,  but Bitcoin halving is a measure trigger for a bull run but not the primary or sole reason for bull run.
